Canopus Circuit 1 Merrimu, Victoria, Australia
By Crack'n'LeeLee on 24-Oct-17. Waypoint GC7E1HE

Easy find, approached from the wrong angle and spotted it easily tnln sl tftc

Nice easy find at the start of what should be a good walk. Tftc.

Nice walk in the afternoon. Walked the circuit clockwise, which turned out to be less steep than I expected. All caches found with ease. Sighted a few walkers but it was quiet most of the time.

Out caching for today. Quick find. Interesting info at the sign about the park.

*Out With SueHut Adventure #5*We're all lunched up and ready for the second half of the day. And we've come out punching with a generous small... with trades. Did SueHut cheer? Oh yeah!Thanks heaps for the cache, Crack'n'LeeLee!

Headed down this way to have a go at one more of the walks in the area. Hadn't been down the road this far before so it was a new area to me. First stop as I set out along the trail and once at GZ, the cache was soon spotted and the log signed. Then I was back to trail where I was soon to learn why it was called Long Steep trail.Thanks for this one Crack'n'LeeLee...cache all good.

A little bit more energy left after refuling on water and food. So I came out to meander in this next section. Again, I very much enjoyed the walk, and the caches found.

With sunshine and a heatwave of 18° forecast for the day it was off the couch and into the the bush for us.

First search first find.

After a mornings work doing a bit of tree planting, I decided to head a little further North and target a couple of new mutlis as well as the Canopus Circuit.
Its a great little walk around this area with differing tracks with some steep up and down hill as well as the fairly flat along the creek walk.
All caches were found without any trouble and all are in good condition.

**Thanks to Crack'n'LeeLee for placing this cache.**

Decided to come and do this circuit today, nice easy start. Tftc

Nice quick find

Out for a walk around Longforest and then a drive a little further today with LittleBoss2.
This was a quick find, despite the crazy signals our GPS's were giving us.
Previous finder was a muggle, looking at their note, thanks Crack'n'LeeLee

Out for a Sunday walk with Bogonghazy. Lovely spot. Thanks for the geocache

Lovely part of the world and a great walk. Water in the creek is nice to see. Thank you for bringing me here

Beautiful walk! TFTC

Found 26/9/21 Local spiders are enjoying their home!

Short stroll from the fence and car parking spot to get to here

Best treasure yet!!!

Ryder Spider was here 28/05/2020
Actual spider jumped out at me from the cache's hiding place.

Such a great day to get out and about . After a slow walk to start off enjoying the fresh air i found my self at gz. After looking in a few spot i soon found the cache. Cache is in great condition . Tftc

I remember back in the day there was only 1 or 2 out here, then a couple of keen cachers come and put some nice circuits out. I have been saving these for a while.

Bag packed, cold drink and directions sorted. A nice easy tucked away cache to start the day.

Quick find for the kids, getting late will return to finish the remainder another day. TFTC

Cache in good order, Tftc.

I finished off the circuit with this one as I'd gone straight past it at the start. Nice little way to finish off a stint of getting outside in nature.

Thanks for the cache.

Hi there Crack'n'LeeLee.

Today was a caching day for our grand-daughter Eden. She's been looking forward to a day out with us for some time soGrandpa Ian wore her (and Penny) out over the course of the morning. Our find count was 5 caches, with 0 DNF's today.

All up we found 5 caches & DNF'd 0 in this cache run. Thanks for placing the caches. Without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places while we meander around Australia.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Small trinket.
**Left:** Smiley Badge & a Coles Mini Thingy

Regards

Ian & Penny.

Found with 2 beez nice hide

Out with 2A's for the day to complete the circuit. Perfect weather for bush walking. Saw quite a few birds today and many wombat holes.
TFTC Crack n Lee Lee. Cache in perfect order with many swaps.

This was the first of the series for me. An easy find with birds twittering away!

Tftc quick find. Couldn't continue to the other caches today ad phones was dying. Will be back so I can get the others.

Nice sunny morning to get around here, thinking that I might have bitten off a bigger bite of the trail than I can handle, so I only did some of it, Thanks Crack'n'LeeLee, this area will see me back

Great place thanks got it

Our with OC on our first caching adventure, what an amazing first experience sharing it with wonderful people who were sharing their love for caching

Checked on this one today while out with MushroomMagic for their first geo day.
All OK.

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

I like it

Another one of the list

It's been a short while since I've been able to get out for an early morning walk so I planned to get up before the sun this morning and head out to Long Forest again after I enjoyed the first circuit. I packed my hiking bag and off I went. I left the car park with a tiny bit of daylight in front of me. I needed my flashlight for the first one and wandered a little before finding the hiding spot. Signed and replaced as found

**Thanks to Crack'n'LeeLee for placing this geocache for us to find and enjoy**

I had done the other nearby circuit and really enjoyed it, so decided to do this one too while the weather is so great.
Great cache notes and accurate co-ords meant an enjoyable hassle-free stroll to the first find.
Thanks, Crack'n'LeeLee.

Detoured on our way to Geelong to find a few caches for the New Year. We enjoyed the lovely walk in the bush and found that the birds were enjoying the day too. Had no trouble finding this well hidden cache.

I thought it would be a good morning to do this walk which I completed anti clockwise.
No one about and still conditions with a mid 20's day forecast.
This was the first cache in the series and a short walk only from my car.
Thanks

A nice. Quick find that was the first of this little series we enjoyed yesterday, 9/12.
We were happy that we did it anti clockwise as more suited to the terrain on a cooler day which looked innocent enough until you needed to step out of the shade.

With nothing planned for today, it was a quick look around to see what "walks" we could do. This one wasn't too far from home, and the plan was to walk Long Forest Loop and Canopus Circuit in one go. Parking at the Long Forest car park, the total walk was just over 13.5km, taking about 3hrs. Nothing too hard, and some nice scenery and some wildlife to be seen.

Finally at the first cache for this loop, oops, wrong order... Nice quick find with the gps doing it's job well.

A nice day out for a stroll so this was the target for the early afternoon. Not to hot, not to cold. Just right and an easy find at GZ.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks for this geocache here today.

We came home from the long weekend and I found that this promised circuit had been published. It was a 'must do' circuit for me. The other nearby series Lerderderg Loop was excellent and this proved just as good.
Tag along walked this one with me and we both enjoyed it. We followed the suggested clockwise direction and had no difficulty following the loop. Tag along was impressed by the clean containers and all the goodies provided. He hadn't found a cache that was so new and fresh before.
Thanks for the new series Crack'n'LeeLee

Teamed up with **Neville Devil, Sims_family and Ausfox;** for this series tonight. Great company and a nice bush-walk. We headed out just before sunset. An easy find.

Thanks **Crack'n'LeeLee**

Heading home from Romsey as these were published, being a small detour I was able to join up with Simsfamily, Neville Devil and UltimateGeoCacheTeam (UGCT) on this great walk around the Canopus Circuit with great company.
With so many eyes searching, the cache was soon found for a Joint [FTF]

After a tired lethargic day at home I saw these pop up and thought what better way to bed the tired lethargic feel than a evening walk in the bush. Plus I was keen for a first to find to continue our consecutive months of FTF streak. Now at 22 months.
A quick call to Neville_devil and he was on his way to my place keen as mustard. Some txt's to Ausfox as well meant that he was meeting us at the parking Coordinates.
Whilst waiting for Ausfox; UltimateGeoCacheTeam pull in. Some quick introductions and we were set for the evening hike.

It wasn't long before we were at GZ for #1 with a quick find and happiness all round for the blank log book, [:d] especially from me for the monthly streak. I did the log book signing, with all put away as found it was of to #2

Thank you Crack'nLeeLee for the smiley
