Road trip to the 12 Apostles but a pit stop here at Apollo Bay.Arrived too late last night to appreciate the view so up early this morning for a sunrise stroll and a few caches.This one is another very well constructed cache. It took a little more manoeuvring to reach it than the others but worth it.Third (and final) find for this amazing series.Thanks and greetings from Leeds, England
Had a walk and chat with sassieold55 along the beach path to Wild Dog and back. Found the beetle safe and sound on our way past. Thanks for the hide Lumpyjrb.
Stopped at Apollo Bay during our great ocean road trip. Had to pick up some caches ofcourse. This was one of them. Thanks for the cache!
Spent some time looking in the wrong spot, but got back on track soon enough. Spotted the cache fairly quickly after moving my search.TFTC
First of 4 days caching with Robmc today. Today we left home in Melbourne to travel via Apollo Bay, Port Campbell and then north to finish in Mortlake. Grabbing caches as we went along.Really enjoyed this series. Mostly nice straight forward finds with spot on coordinates.Thankyou!
Day and I have set off for a LGA collection trip around Western Victoria.We started today heading down to the Otways, then across to Port Campbell, then north to Mortlake.The weather was somewhat changeable, but we stayed mostly dry.I went to the wrong tree to start with, but the co-ords put me right.Thanks, Robmc.
Found It.......While having lunch we decided to head down here to collect some more caches and do some cache maintenance on one of ours. After winding through the rainy ranges we popped out in wonderful sunshine and after pulling up we set off down the path picking up caches as we went. Once at GZ a quick search soon yielded the cache and with the log signed we continued our journey. Thanks Lumpyjrb for the cache
Took us a bit longer to find than the first couple in the series, but not too hard of a find. Loving the camouflage in this series! TFTC
This was one of two caches in this series that we didn't find initially but returned to later and found straight away.Again, a read of previous logs helped/We really felt like we had to have a second attempt at this one with a caching name like ours.Thanks and yet another favourite point awarded here.
We headed off down the Great Ocean Road for a few days for a belated wedding anniversary celebration. The weather was kind and the scenery along the road spectacular.We based ourselves in Lorne and then tripped around checking out the local places. While we had visited the area some time ago it was great to spend more time exploring the area, and of course the caching.Thank you for your efforts in creating and maintaining the cache Lumpyjrb.**SKI Pair****
Very creative. Many thanks Lumpyjrb for providing this game piece for our enjoyment. And thanks for sharing the highlights of your region.
PCNBT Team on our trip to join our other caching friends at the Adelaide for the Event. This was an easy find pleased it wasn't real it deserves a favorite thanks Lumpyjrb
Another one for the smiles! ....../ ).....' /---' (_____.TFTC . ((__)..... _ ((___)....... -'((__)--.___((_)
The beetle is on good order sheltered somewhat from the summer storm.Not many people out and about Christmas afternoon. Thanks for this easy accessible series lumpyjrb
A nice quick and easy find on a pleasant morning stroll along the trail. Beware of the ants at GZ. Thanks for the cache
Got it. We like the series so far. I got it out with Wisewarrior and Littlehawk. TFTC
Found it ! Away on extended family holiday. Normally have mini cachers but flying solo this morning before we leave
Unfortunately the last one out your series as I have to continue on the road. Thank you for the fun.
Last one in Apollo Bay as we continue our tour along the Great Ocean Drive. Another quick easy find. Thank you.
I really liked the effort put into the design of the cache, but I wish it would have posed more of a challenge!
We are visiting from Brisbane with muggle grandma, driving along a big section of The Great Ocean Road. Before everyone else was awake, I snuck out at daybreak to finish off some caches in Anglesea before we all headed off to Apollo Bay. So many beautiful places to see along the way. Many of those places are pointed out to me through caching.I was ably to point out a SPOS to n grandma.
Spontaneous trip down the coast, destination - Apollo Bay, for icecream!!!
Stopped to grab a few caches along the way. Did part of this series as a park and drive, but it would be wonderful to do it as a walking trail and be able to take in the beautiful surroundings a bit more!
Must be getting tired, as this one ended up being made harder than it needed to be!!
Took the wrong path, stopped to check, cache was exactly where is was standing! Face palm!
Log signed and replaced as found. TFTC

Found by Aussie Train Driver 30/06/2023, find number 1692.
Second find on the trail today and we were again fortunate to have the area to ourselves. I made this one a little harder than it needed to be to find and after a few minutes I spotted the cache in a nice easy location. TFTC!

A quick stop on our way out of town this morning on this stunning morning. A nice quick find of a well themed cache container.
Thanks for placing the cache Lumpyjrb.

This one was a little trickier than the others, but my daughter was soon onto it. A little muddy, but that's to be expected after all the recent rain. I cleaned him up a littler and replaced him under the camo. Thanks!
