Hi, With a few recent DNF we're disabling the cache until we can check on it. Thanks, Team Bradey
With one tree roped off we had no success. Our first time in Edenhope a bigger town than we expected. Pretty by the lake.
Beadling around the Wimmera region in the general direction of SA. Stopped along the way for lab cache art trails and a few stray caches. Sure is a hot day

On the road early this morning. Leaving Halls Gap and a wonderful week of walking and eating behind us, we decided to drive out to Edenhope to secure one of our last 'Victoria Country Road Atlas Challenge' maps. This is it! The map we need! There's not much water here 'down by the lake'! Thanks for the cache TeamBradey.

scramping & I began our journey towards the Wangaratta Mega event this weekend. This was the first cache of our trip. The weather was warm but the clouds seem to be rolling in. We got the cache and placed it back just before the rain came. We waited in the amenity shelter until it settled. The lake is a bit low at the moment.

Found with hevwalker on our way to the Wangaratta mego. We dropped in here for a leg stretch and to find this cache that I had been after for some time but due to Covid couldn't get here. Here is where we had the rain start which continued to follow us all the way to St Arnaud for our over night stay.
So I went down to the lake and found the cache.
Thanks to TeamBradey and **clear skies** from TeamAstro. [^] Cache the planet! [^]
Out for the day, came down to enjoy some good company and food at the lake, so thought I’d check if I could leave a smiley, quick find but definitely needed my tall fella to help this shorty out, great hide TFTC bit of a low tide today
I arrived in this caching eden full of hope of a couple of finds
There's water in the lake !!
But thankfully not enough for the noisy boats to make an appearance [^]
Just the wildlife to watch
Looking the other way,
I soon tracked down this cache.
You do need a bit of stature to easily reach it

Drove from Adelaide to Dunkeld today and this was one of a few caches found during a break from driving.
Container is rather full with several logs, could do with some CO maintenance.
Thanks to TeamBradey for putting out this cache for me to find.

Day #11 of the Birthday Bush Bonanza. Sadly it was time to leave the crew and Wyperfeld National Park and head off exploring on my own. A couple of caches on the way back to Hopetoun followed by a loop of the Wimmera area.
What an excellent set of facilities this area has. The lights even turned on as I drove in. Toilets, showers, bbqs, you name it. Great work from this local town and the Apex association. The cache was found soon after arriving.
Thanks TeamBradey for the cache and for contributing to the game.

We are enjoying exploring unfamiliar towns and rural areas and stopping to enjoy some caches too. This cache was a very short walk from our campsite.
Thank you for your cache and adding to our memorable road trip in regional Victoria.

Not easy for me being short...... awkward to retrieve, but with the assistance of a stool, I got it. Thanks.
Quick find with Kellmik while in the area on an Easter caching trip.

My GPS led me straight to the right tree, but initially I couldn’t see a place where it could be. After a while I finally spotted a likely spot, but not knowing what might be in there I didn’t want to put my hand in. So I put my phone in with the camera on and the screen showed me a nice little cache, tucked away. Signed log and replaced. TFTC.
TFTC Team Bradley. Weather closing in and rain forecast. Thanks for maintaining it for us to find. TNLN
Find #4779. Found @ 17:11
With an extra week off work, I decided to go on a little 4 day caching trip, that I've dubbed the CMapLGAmer trip. Combining targeted finds for the Country Map challenge, LGA challenge, and AUSmer challenge finds in the Western Victoria region - for added bonus, I've also included some large caches in the mix as well for another challenge, but they weren't in the mix when I came up with the name.
I used cachetur.no to plan the trip and (after I worked out some kinks with how I was using it) it worked fine.
On arriving in town, I was ahead of my schedule, so decided to find this (and the other cache in town) before checking in to my motel. I used the facilities, the went to view the lake, as I was viewing the lake I sized up where I thought the cache would be. It was in the first place I expected, but my GPSr didn't seem to agree with me - however, instinct and cache presence wins the day.
This fell under both the LGA and Country Map cache categories.
Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables.

Found with CH83 while around Edenhope for the day, after a quick search we rechecked the description and soon had the right idea, and the cache was quickly in hand.
All in in good condition, thanks!

Happy New Year, let's hope it is better than last year.
Our 2nd cache for the year, after an 8month slump inspired by Covid. Even when we were allowed to cache, we just didn't get to it.
On a roadtrip from Melbourne to Adelaide, our first break for over 1 year and on our way to Naracoorte for the night.
A nice pleasant spot to stop.

Christmas Day find. Checked a few times. Bit of a stick poke and found eventually found it. Tftc
Had a job in Edenhope today and thought I'd have a look for this before leaving. Tftc
Suscoe headed out today for a trip to Hamilton via a wide arc heading out to near the SA border with our good friends, Phetlern.
It was a hot and windy day, with a top of 36 degrees on the car dashboard.
We saw some stunning countryside in places that we have never been to before.
Mt Arapiles was a stand out spot with amazing rocks, stunning views and remarkable countryside.
We were amazed at the green grasslands out here and the trees that were a feature of the whole drive.
Thanks to TeamBradey for this hide, this was our lunch stop today, great to find a cache so close to the picnic spot.

Leaving Horsham early we made our way to Hamilton, via an arc which took us close to the SA border (which we are not allowed to cross at the moment) Together with Suscoe, we found a variety of caches in some interesting locations, a nice spot for our lunch.
Our thanks to 'TeamBradey' for adding this cache to the geo-gameboard.

As mentioned in a previous log the co-ords take you close to the nearby building (toilets) but the hint does tell you where to look. I needed hubby to do the looking for us as I found nothing low and where hubby found the cache was above my reach.

A beautiful area and a good find, thanks. We looked in the wrong tree first because it looked so right.

The long weekend planned to cache around Millicent with sharkiefan.
I had left early and got a 1 night stay at Coonawarra. This gave me a few more hours to relax before hitting the main trails.
Caching is a good way to break up the long drives. And in need of a break and a good leg stretch when this one showed up on the GPSr I headed for it.
Once the area was clear of a single walking muggle I managed a quick find.
Now time to head for the boarder crossing.

We stopped in town to grab some more supplies for our roadtrip, and took a short walk to stretch our legs. BeatsWorkin took the opportunity to call family, and then we got back on the road after finding the cache. TFTC.
On a road trip with The Crazy Cacher, and we stopped in Edenhope to grab some supplies (and cache, of course!). Enjoyed a nice walk in town to stretch our legs, make some phone calls while we had service, and grab this cache by the lake. All good here! Thanks for the fun!
Find #157@ 12:25pm on 15/12/19 took awhile saw an obvious spot but couldn't see anything then read description and instantly went back to look struggled to get it but was eventually in hand TFTC Team Bradley
Off on a road trip to the Silo Art tour Vic, Mildura, Goolwa SA, Port Victoria SA and then home via Murray Bridge, Naracoorte, and the Grampians, picking up some caches along the way as we see the sights. After staying in Naracoorte we were now heading home and stopped here for a break and to stretch our legs. Despite being vertically challenged it was Mr Pooky who still made the find. What a great little place to stop although it was very very very windy and cold today and will have to return when the weather is better. TFTC and bringing us to this spot,
Well the Mega was over, my geobuddies headed back home and now I was off to SA to continue my geotrip solo
Found the cache after a short search. Could just feel it with my fingertips. Took the opportunity to use the facilities nearby before continuing on to reach my campsite at Millicent.
Thanks for the hide, TeamBradey

Replacement of paper with waterproof geocacheing paper has been undertaken. Happy geocaching!
After a long drive from Portland we were happy to stop in the shade by the lake. After a short break we sauntered down to the cache area where the cache was found after a short search. The log was pretty stuffed but we managed to find a place to sign.

Found it. Hard work. Needs higher difficulty and terrain rating. Logbook is buggered. Needs replacing.
We drove into this area during our stay at a nearby lakeside camp spot. After a couple of "I'm not putting my hand in there" moments, the prize was grabbed, log signed and cache returned to its spot. TFTC
Belated log but back here again and the lake a lot lower now. Nice diversion on way to Adelaide.
Initially we couldn’t find the cache but reading other logs we realised it was actually higher than the 1.5 T would suggest.
Thanks TeamBradey for the placement.

Our son helped out with this one. Thanks for the cache in such a beautiful location. I have a picture of it if required as didn’t have my pen on me.
A beautiful surprise as we turned the corner and drove down to the lake.
Australia is full of surprises, nature at its best.
We found your cache tucked away nicely and with signing duties done and dusted we replaced the cache as found.

Another lovely location that we could take our van close to GZ and use the facilities. c-pprass thought she knew where the cache was located, but just couldn't reach in. So p-pprass had to save the day [^]
Thanks TeamBradey
Feedback: This cache is not accessible by all cachers which is what a T of 1.5 implies. This is more of a 2.0 or even 2.5.

Well it took me awhile because of the size but it was found in the end by me and my friend
Stopped by on a road trip from Adelaide to the Victorian surf coast. First Victorian cache of the day.
Thanks for showing me the impressive lake today. There were some workmen near GZ, but they were too busy working to notice what was happening at GZ! Thanks so much for placing this cache TeamBradey

My last find of a 4 day trip to Big Desert taking in events at each end of the Border Track.
This was a nice quick find and was almost fenced in by work taking place on the lake edge.
Thanks TeamBradley for placing and maintaining this cache.

Nice easy find- while traveling from Millicent to Colleambly. Beautiful spot and facilities. Cache nice and dry and in reasonable condition.
Having lost my GPS (and got it back again) forgot to log some caches... including this one - Oct '18. How could I... having failed to find the earlier one at the end of the jetty.
