One mini , two sheep , one chicken & one cache thanks Robmc. Jimmytherat did the scrabbling!
TFTC Robmc. Mr Ed was here today when we visited, as were two sheep and a chook. Jimmytherat with noelle04.
The cache seemed to have moved a bit further along than it should be.Returned to its correct location.
That was a marathon as coordinates are 20 m out! Still cannot believe I found it. Being incredibly accident prone, like Wilbur, i was almost certain i would slip into the water. Cache obviously flood affected but very strong magnet has kept in place. That said, I can't get Mr Ed theme song out of my head! Thanks for the challenge Robmc
Checked on a maintenance run on the deadly treadly.
This one was missing, like Mr Ed. Seems to be a couple of sheep there now.
Container and log replaced, ready to be found.

Found my next along my journey of the OMCT today. Some cute sheep here decided to say hello.
Fought off the ants to sign the log. Couldn't see Mr Ed today, but kids spotted some chickens.
A good spot for a cache! Took me a few minutes of searching (I’m new to geocaching) but was just the right amount of challenging for a newbie like me. Needed a good grip on it for the retrieval. TFTC!
I went out this morning to go geocaching along a section of the One Mile Creek Track and try my luck as a pretty inexperienced beginner. Found lots of caches and it was a great way to spend part of my day and observe the autumn equinox as well.
I went out this morning to go geocaching along a section of the One Mile Creek Track and try my luck as a pretty inexperienced beginner. Found lots of caches and it was a great way to spend part of my day and observe the autumn equinox as well.
Today was an absolutely amazing day for geocaching! I woke up early, packed my bag with all the necessary gear, including my GPS and hiking boots, and hit the road. The sun was shining, birds were chirping, and I was ready to take on the world of geocaching.
The first cache I set out to find was in a nearby park, nestled in a dense thicket of trees. As I approached the coordinates, I noticed a fellow geocacher making his way towards the same spot. We exchanged greetings and introduced ourselves, and it turned out we were both after the same monster of a cache.
We decided to work together and started our search, combing through the underbrush, climbing trees, and scouring hidden nooks and crannies. After what seemed like hours of intense searching, we finally found the cache. The feeling of pure euphoria and triumph that washed over us was indescribable. We let out a loud scream of "*FTF*!", high-fived each other, and took a celebratory picture.
That was just the beginning of our geocaching adventures. We went on to find several more caches, each one more challenging and exciting than the last. We even stumbled upon a cache hidden under a waterfall, which was both thrilling and refreshing.
As the day wore on, we started to notice a strange phenomenon happening around us. Every time we found a cache, we felt a surge of energy and power that we couldn't quite explain. We joked about having tapped into "The Force," and laughed as we imagined ourselves as Jedi knights of the geocaching universe.
At one point, we found ourselves lost in a thicket of dense foliage, struggling to find the next cache. As we trudged through the underbrush, we suddenly heard a strange noise. It sounded like a person whistling a tune, but the source of the sound was nowhere to be seen.
Suddenly, a man appeared out of nowhere, seemingly materializing from the trees themselves. He was tall and lean, with skin as dark as coffee and an easy smile on his face.
"Hey guys," he said, "looks like you're lost. Need some help?"
We were hesitant at first, having been taught not to accept help from strangers. But there was something about this man that put us at ease. Maybe it was his friendly demeanor, or maybe it was the fact that we were all geocachers, united by the same passion.
Either way, we accepted his offer and followed him deeper into the woods. He led us to a hidden waterfall that we never would have found on our own, and we were able to find the cache that was nestled behind it.
As we signed the logbook and recorded our names, we turned to thank the stranger who had helped us. But he was gone, vanished into thin air like a mysterious apparition.
As we made our way back to civilization, we couldn't help but marvel at the strange and wondrous events of the day. We had found caches in places we never would have imagined, felt the power of "The Force", and even encountered a friendly stranger who seemed to have some kind of magical powers.
In the end, it was a day filled with adventure, fun, excitement, and unexpected surprises. We were all exhausted but exhilarated, our hearts and minds filled with the thrill of the hunt and the joy of discovery.
This was a day we would never forget, and one that we knew would inspire us to keep exploring the world of geocaching and all its many wonders. We couldn't wait to see what other amazing treasures were waiting for us out there, just waiting to be found.
So if you're ever looking for a great time and an adventure like no other, join us in the world of geocaching. Who knows what incredible treasures you might discover, what random strangers you might meet, or what hidden powers you might uncover? The possibilities are endless, and the rewards are truly priceless.

We planned to get down to Rutherglen to try and collect all the caches in the area before the mega so we could relax a little more as Mega’s always seem to be a little hectic. With the Canberra day long weekend on the horizon a plan was hatched, and accommodation was found. Our attack group ended up consisting of Rapidlywild, DARKSIDEDAN, Sui_001 and only half of the FurfacesLL team as the other member is broken, seems we are taking turns. We ended up collecting all the trails we had intended to do and many others in varying shapes and sizes and types.
The last day of our jaunt down this way and with the bikes on board we decided to knock this trail off as well. Always love a bike ride thrown in with a caching trail. Should be more of them.
We had a couple of DNF's today but all others were found in good condition and signed as AB+G's to save room in the logs.
Thanks for the hide Robmc and thanks for a fun weekend away the AB+G's crew.

Plans were put in place for a Rutherglen attack over the Canberra day long weekend with the FurfacesLL, DSD and Sui. We spent 4 days away from home and collected a number of caches of various varieties.
Today was out last day before making our way back to the ACT. We decided we wanted to get the bike trail in Wangaratta completed being we had the bikes on board. We started at the north and made our way south finding caches along the way. We had a couple that we couldn't find so we will need to revisit at some stage. Logs once again signed as AB+G/AB&G to save room on the logs.

Found and signed AB&G with Sui_001, Rapidlywild and FurfacesLL as part of an amazing Rutherglen Invasion. Thanks for the cache and the Adventure.
A huge thank you to Rapidlywild and FurfacesLL for letting me stay in their accommodation and for doing the hard driving on the CSI trail. I had a lot of fun with Rapidlywild and FurfacesLL they are great to cache with.

Time for another weekend road trip! A few of us had spied the events in Eldorado and had hatched a plan to spend the weekend in search of the criminal outfit ILT.
After a late start I planned to gather a series of caches along the way before arriving in Eldorado in the evening.
Needing a Wherigo meant a local one in Wangaratta was on the cards. Knowing the CO, I parked the car and set off on foot to explore this trail and see where it took me.
Collecting this series of caches along the way I was careful to return to the track in the same spot if I needed to depart it.
The cache was soon found and I continued my journey.
Thanks Robmc for adding this cache to the worldwide collection for us all to enjoy.

This was my only unfound Traditional in Wangaratta, I had to make a detour to turn it into a smile. Mr Ed was very quiet today.
Thanks Robmc for the cache.

Canberra Day long weekend trip to Wangaratta. After spending the Mega weekend down at Wangaratta, there was so much more to do that a plan was hatched to visit again to do the Warbies Challenges and the Old Coach Road. A team of Joolay, Kitty Katch, FurfacesLL, Fitzy_1965 & MinnieK and I came together for this trip. Day 4. I have reached the last day of my March Wangaratta trip, and now the long hard days are over, I headed out to finish some of the caches around Wangaratta before heading down to the Winton Wetlands to do the Adventure Lab caches and as many others as possible now I have learnt how to get in. The day ended with the drive home, a fun blast up the highway with a bonus whereigo at the end.
I was really happy to see this one was back after being missing when I visited during the mega. The horse was out in the yard today.

Out for another CO guided tour / maintenance run this time on the One Mile Creek Trail where we started in the middle and headed north first and then to the south. What a magnificent place to ride right in the middle of town.
Yeah, first to sign, the new container…

Down in Victoria for the long awaited (and necessarily postponed) Wangaratta MEGA, and a little holiday chasing the usual (oldies, counties and windmills). Just for something different we are adding to the hit list and the graves of the regionally buried dead premiers. Lol the things we will do for a cache! Spent most of today with albida, Smittengranny and GLISS! Always great when we can cache together. Thanks for the cache.
Rats no luck today.

Wangaratta Mega trip Day 4. It has taken quite some time to get this trip going so it is a great feeling to be on the road for a great weekend away with great caching with friends and new friends. Today was the second day of the Mega itself. I spent most of the day with Gliss, Nibbletricecakes and Smitten Granny. We spent the day visiting as many of the caches around town as we could, doing multis and the puzzles that we had already solved amongst the large number of traditional caches. Another hot day that was very satisfying. The day ended with the farewell to the Mega event and at dusk the second CSI Night cache.
I think this about the only cache we gave up on all weekend. Great to see it has been replaced. I hope I can back to it.
Thanks.

I had no luck here today, I checked the likely spots but came up empty handed.
Maybe next time.
Maybe next time.
Despite our best efforts, we could not find anything here today. Oh well, there is always next time!
Given the growing DNF numbers I think this needs checking?
Came to start the nearby whereigo and ended up finding 10 of this trail, with one of these being DNF. A nice walk, and passing muggles all very friendly. Was starting to warm up well, by the time I got to Mr Ed. Then off to the CITO.
All but the DNF at Mr Ed were quick finds.

I said as we walked from this cache without the smilie, if it's not here - there will be tonnes of DNFs on it... looks like I was right!

While staying at Airbnb at Wangaratta for the weekend I took to this Trail really enjoyed walking along here with the birdlife. Nice easy find here. Thanks for bringing me here Robmc
Find #4961. Found @ 12:40 with The Good Lady Wife
Just because the Mega is postponed, didn't mean that we could cancel our accommodation. So, with rural travel back on the cards - we took advantage of the weekend away to find some caches. Unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate with the plan, and it rained on and off for the whole time we were in town.
Taking a walk just after one session of rain, hoping that more rain will hold off and we came to walk along part of the One Mile Creek Trail. In hind sight, perhaps taking a walk along a creek path just after lots of rain was maybe not the wisest of plans, but there were less problems than there might have been.
The first of the day, and a quick find of the expected type after a brief look around.
Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables.

I saw it from a few metres away and then went back to where it was sitting right under SciFiRulz nose...but she didn't see it. TFTC
Nice walk along the path and able to access this one as above current waterline after rain TFTC
Found while out caching with family. Another along this trail that was accessible, as so many aren't at the moment. Quick find when looked at from a different angle. Signed and replaced, and admired the horse and all the hens, who were watching us closely. TFTC
Some of the path is underwater and having to cross over on the roads. I never realised how many underpasses there are in wang
