A Hidden Treasure Koorlong, Victoria, Australia
By 4Moule on 01-Jul-18. Waypoint GC7RZW2

Our last day in the area before we head home tomorrow. A beautiful day to find some more caches here. Found with Earthlight and Shandyk, and signed the log EGS. TFTC.

Out caching around Mildura with friends. Logged as EGS. We loved the caches we found and the backroads we travelled along the way. TFTC

This was so great, my 4 year old is loving geocaching and these kind of caches make him so excited!!! Thanks for the find and making it so fun for all ages

Taking a few days off work so I can get away to Mildura for a long weekend. My first time in Mildura so lots of geocaches to tackle to keep me entertained. Perfect conditions to be outside and geocaching. This short trail of caches with high favourite points was high on my to do list. I was not disappointed. Every one unique and well crafted. Certainly put a big smile on my face. A favourite point from me. Thank you 4Moule, for placing A Hidden Treasure for the geocaching community.# # #15770 # #

Found with Bogonghazy, sorceysal, geo dog whilst caching in Mildura. Great cache to introduce some friends who spent the morning with us. Thanks for placing the geocache

Wow what a toy box of treasures. Woth BH and LB2

Up in Mildura with LittleBoss2, Geo the puppy for a week of caching and golf. Today was a quieter day than yesterday where we managed to almost complete the Paddle Steamer series. Today we introduced a couple of Octogenarian friends to our game who completely outdid us in their ingenuity to solve various clever caches in this town with more than its share. This was thankfully a quick find with the accurate coords and a well placed container. Great treasure too

Thanks ltf

Quick easy find with muggle husband. Everything good. TFTC TNLNSL

Ooops. Obviously hit the wrong button. Will have to delete previous log. This was an easy find and cache all good. TFTC TNLNSL

Big cache with lots of goodies to be swapped. Jnr wombat took a couple items and put a few more in. Cheers for the hunt.

Our first full day in Mildura and after a quite cool night some beautiful Autumn weather has been really turned on. Blue skies and warm sunshine.We are staying a bit out of town but with quite a number of well-favourited caches nearby in the bushland and a variety of types we thought we would head out amongst them and try our luck. They were located along a range of bush tracks amongst the scrub so while dusty, fun to drive. Sadly no emus of kangaroos were spotted today to add to the fun.It truly was a great day caching with a fun range of gadget caches added into the mix. We awarded quite a few favourites to celebrate them, especially as we managed to solve them all.Thank you for your efforts in creating and maintaining the cache TheMoules.**SKI Pair****

Find#5917Nice hiding place What a epic road trip through Victoria and NSW on our way to Whyalla South Australia Thanks for the cache

Found it

Well my trip up to QOGM started a couple of weeks ago and I took the very indirect route up to outback QLD to get there.So after cruising up the Hume to Sydney then the M1 and A1 up to Byron Bay with a few other roads in between as I have been cris crossing a bit so after heading west and making it to Longreach time for a break from the travelling.So after a couple big days out to Stonehenge, Isisford and Ilfracombe, The Tritonz and Roaming Howie finally joined me and we did the puzzle trail.Then a fun first muster day to Muttaburra and back then a great tea event and a few more caches.A trip to Stonehenge and back again for them.The second muster day and boy what a busy day as there was a lot going on in the car with everything we had to do.Collect trads, look at photos, find some forks and then some property numbers as well.The Mexicans as we were called teamed up with a couple of other cars The Morris and Pool Pool to have a lot of fun over the radio.Well all the caches have been found and after another great dinner event QOGM has officially finished.This was my first QOGM and I had a great time, but all good things must come to end and today I must start heading towards home but Im also taking the very long way around back to Victoria.So this was state # 4 for me on this trip.Roaming Howie is joined me on part of the Strzelecki track and left me at Camerons Corner.I continued on down the track and and eventually reached the black stuff again and stayed at Copley then Wentworth.The question for the day is will I reach Melbourne or make my holiday last one more night.After realising that there was a few more of this great series to do the decision was made I wont be home tonight.Continuing along the tracks picking off green dots as I go.A very big hidden treasure that had a lot of swaps in it.Thanks 4Moule TFTC.

This whole area is a hidden treasure. With limited time today, we targeted large size caches and will definitely be back to complete the rest one day.Lots of treasures here that kids and adults would love.Another fun cache from TheMoules. You guys certainly put out great caches for our enjoyment. Cheers.

Wow so much treasure. Tyftc.

We stopped at Mildura for four nights while on our journey to North QLD. 

Here's one to find today. Thank you for placing the cache   TheMoules.

Thanks for the hide TheMoules

Found while on a fabulous weekend away to Mildura to complete the Paddlesteamer & Turtle geoarts, and various trads, multis + gadget caches. The Canberra crew included Nibletricecakes, joolay, kittykatch, youban, dty73, tankengine, barb2e, Klsarc & albida33. We signed as Mildura May Adventures 23 (MMA or MMA23). Unless otherwise mentioned, all caches were quickly found. TFTC.

Today was our second day adventuring together in the district. Out to tackle the Paddlesteamer and as many other amazing caches as we can with a lovely bunch of Canberra friends! Always fantastic to be able to get away for a long weekend of caching together. Loved the red dust and the crazy caching trails. Thanks for all the hard work from COs make and maintain these caches. Called our trip the Mildura May Adventure so signed as MMA or MMA23 today. Great to be caching with you KLSARC, GLISS! Albida33, Kittykatch, Barb2e, Joolay, Tankengine, DTY73 and youban. Thanks for a great weekend everyone. Thanks for the cache.

Southern Autumn adventure Day 54. Mildura Paddle Steamer Trip Day 3. After a huge day, the MAA team (Mildura Autumn Attack and we consisted of Nibletricecakes, Gliss!, Joolay, Kitty Katch, Barb2e, Tankengine, dty73, Youban and Albida33) headed back to the Paddle Steamer to finish the last bit. It did not take too long, and the whole series has been a joy of accurate and present caches. The next goal was the various Gadget caches rear Red Cliffs and then by the Gliding field. The day was completed with an all out effort to get to all the Turtle caches. Plenty of drive bys, but a few fun walks on muddy flats. This was another great series. A few of us gathered for take away dinner and retired for what rest could be achieved before tomorrows activities.

The various themed and gadget style caches we did today were all great and enjoyable after the series caching we have mostly done.

Thanks for the cache TheMoules

Tankengine, Youban and I came to Mildura for the weekend for a bit of caching with a bunch of other Canberrans (signed caches we did together as - MMA. Which I think stood for Mildura May Adventurers. It’s so hard coming up with group names).

We had an awesome time and ate at some really nice places, met a whole bunch of lovely people and found some great caches. Thanks to all the COs for their placements and my caching friends for their help and great company.

This cache: wow that is a lot of treasure! Tftc!!!

Geo kids heaven so many treasures.

Good find

Enjoying the quality and size of the caches here. And when it's called A Hidden Treasure you better believe it.... Holey swag bonanza! that's a lot of treasure. TFTC TheMoules.

Together with my son, I am on a camping trip from Sydney to Broken Hill and back. On our 3000 km journey over 11 days we have seen some wonderful little towns, beautiful landscapes and many interesting geocaches.

Noticing the large number of favourite points awarded. I drove to caches around the Mildura glider airfield. It turned out to be a great afternoon driving across the sand tracks to some very creative caches. This was another good find that I enjoyed.

TFTC.

TFTC nice easy find

Out for a Sunday arvo of local geocaching in the sunshine and fresh air.

Great choice of GZ for this one!

TFTC!

Out this morning in Mildura picking up a few caches. This was one of them. Nice large cache. Tftc!!

#16761 - 6:15:00 PM; After spending the night in Mildura on the way home from South Australia after collecting the geomobile with Sol de lune, today we set out to collect some of the caches in the area we didn't pick up on previous visits. We managed a good variety of caches and cache types as we made our way around the city and then further afield in our quest. All caches were found in good order considering the recent weather conditions and were returned as found once we had signed the log. Enjoyed the many gadgets and field puzzles as we made our way around the bush tracks. Added to the favourite points as we went! TFTC TheMoules

Out this way with LuckyL10n before heading back to Canberra and we hit up this line of caches before heading back to our accomm.

No issues with this one and our names were soon in the log.

Thanks for another one 4Moule....

Good spot

Out and about caching in the bush near Mildura targeting this series, all with high favourite points, and found they really lived up to it! Thank you for your imagination and the work you've put into the construction

Another enjoyable hide along this trail, always nice to find a large cache container and a nice secluded spot for it. Thanks for the cache 4Moule.

Found

Another great hide.

Another cache find on our 2022 South Australian Adventure, yes I know we have wandered over the border. Never mind, it is a wonderful day and we have joined forces with FelixII so we are off to see what we can find. Thanks to all the COs for taking us on this geo-guided tour.

Day 4 of my 5 day Geocaching long weekend away. This would be Find Number 21 of 31 for the day.

Great area for Geocaching recommended to any person visiting the area.

TFTC TheMoules

fitzy_1965 and I decided to head away for an extra long weekend so that we could attend the Tri-State Community Celebration Events along with the other events that have popped up.

A fantastic time was had and a nice number of caches found. Thanks to all the CO's for holding the events and/or placing the caches.

We spent the night at the Euston Club Hotel: an amazing room for only $90 and thanks to Service NSW for pitching in the other $50. Up early to make the trek back to Mildura for breakfast at a local cafe. A tad noisy but not complaining about the company! Whilst at breakfast we made plans to Yushaun & Laighside Legends to do the Lock Island wherigo and a couple more along the way then the new virtual before heading back to NSW for the morning CITO. Next was a couple of multis before tackling more of the Turtle series. Looking for something to do before heading to the last event for the weekend, we stumbled this fantastic area dotted with 4Moule/TheMoules gadget caches. Just fantastic with lots of favourite points given out!

It was wonderful to see cachers we hadn't seen for a while and to meet several new ones. There ended up being cachers from SA, Vic, NSW, Tas & QLD! Amazing!

28,500. Found with minniek while visiting the region for the Tri-State Community Events/International Geocaching Day weekend.

When minniek and I heard about the huge 8 event weekend (4 Community Celebration Events, 3 'normal' events and 1 CITO) to be held in Berri/Wentworth/Mildura/Euston celebrating International Geocaching Day, we knew that we wanted to be there. After two very busy days, we enjoyed the hour sitting enjoying a coffee and a nice breakfast to get the energy for the day ahead. We then headed out for more caches. This was the next one. We started to head down to the Camping CCE location when we discovered this group of amazing caches. Each and every one a great cache. Quick find at GZ. Stamped the log, replaced the cache as found, then continued on to the next one.

Thanks TheMoules !! Fav Point. I quite enjoyed the drive around here in our quasi-4WD

Awesome hide

??

Found this hidden treasure today. TFTC

Awesome find

Good one!

Took a while.

The cache was found in the last place we looked, which as usual was not the first place we looked. Thanks for placing a fun cache guys. We do love your work. We signed the logbook. Of course we did that is way we play this game. Cache in pretty good condition for the cache age.

I will apologize right now, because everything from here on is here solely for the purpose of padding the word count.

This particular geocache was found using one of the following GPS enabled devices, Garmin GPSr, Montana 680t, Oregon 650 or Dakota 20 and a Samsung S8. Waypoints and paperless geocaching were downloaded via GSAK 9. Log prepared, checked and submitted using GSAK publish logs...

Warning, this hobby can be addictive. It can lead to exercise, meeting new people and finding interesting places you might not have known existed otherwise. Beware: you may have fun.

Thanks for the cache. Merci la cache. Danke für den Cache. Gracias por el caché. Bedankt voor de cache. Kiitos kätköstä. Zikomo posungira. Terima kasih untuk cache. Hvala cache. Köszönöm a cache. Nga mihi mo te keteroki. Dankie vir die kas.

This was a nicely constructed cache and something with a difference. Cache is all good

A trip to Victoria with Freddo for 3 days to complete the paddle steamer and find a few caches in Mildura and along the way to and from, all the caches were signed respective of the day FG23, FG24, FG25 or our own caching names.
Total of 468 finds for the trip

Thanks for a great series

Yay

Yay - nice one too - no chance of muggles causing grief today either! I did approach these “FIELD PUZZLES” with trepidation as I did not have anyone to bounce brainy ideas off. Got there though with patience and admiration for great construction. Looks like a perfect spot to hide all sorts of goodies or even unsavoury thingos whatever that might be. Headed out on the MTB despite the rising temp gauge and in psychological need of a destination AND the lure of a few large caches for a wee mission. TFTC and the fun of exploring new territory. Pretty different to home base in the mountains! A fave for the whole kaboodle

On the hunting trail again with SeasonedBird, Honeysucker, Liz & Bruce. Another great day for caching. TFTC TheMoules

Catching up with late logs

We were in Mildura to do the fireworks for the New Years Eve festivities and then we have plans to head over to SA to catch up with Honeysucker, Liz & Bruce & Chrispy and we thought that we would try and get three caches in the each of three states in one day.

Once we got here and saw the quality of the hides we decided to make time for a few more of these.

We continued following the GPSr until we got close to gz and went for a short walk and were rewarded with areal treasure. It's not very often that you find large caches these days especially so well stocked. We happily added our name to the log book and replaced everything securely as it was before heading off to the next one.

Thanks again 4moule for the cache.

Started the day over coffee ️ with Mrs 4Moule and her mini-me I have decided that any day it’s not blowing a gale is a good day in these parts to do outdoorsy stuff. So toddled over here to sort out the go-go gadget caches and explore the landscape. This trail and was great value Ended the day hosing down Star the geocar A few smileys = a happy geocacher.

If you’d asked me a week ago if I was staying, I would have said no, going to chuff off for warmer climes. But, well, things eased and although the weather is still unpredictably iffy there are caches and places still to explore. A quick find here in among the gumtrees. Lots of space in this cache

That was impressive. I'm enjoying getting out for a walk too. Tftc

Another quick find and great cache from CO. Track is a bit bumpy in places, but thankfully dry. TFTC

We had heard there are some really cool caches out near the airport, so we made our way to check them out. We had the pleasure of meeting the Cache owners yesterday, it is always fun to do the caches of other Geocachers you have met. With the sparse vegetation, you can find your way to the cache quite easily. Large caches are all too rare so it was great to see a large cache out here. The selection of caches near the airport makes this a must-do area for Geocachers. The container is a nice big one and had plenty of swag. The cache is in excellent condition. Thank you for this cache 4Moule.

Nice to find a massive container out in the bush! Thanks for the hide.

Thanks

Drive by and on to the next find. Tftc.

Today I was targeting large container caches and this one tempted me to this beautiful area. I really enjoyed my trip here so thanks for placing it in such a peaceful are tftc 4Moule A favourite point for the location

Found by Rebel Acts

In Mildura for a few days with Snap Happy, omegaman1971, Happy Feet, Happy Pants and The Empire.
After finishing off the GOT series it was time for Me to do the turtle series, it was a little challenging getting to some locations but I managed to get them all done.

The highlight for the day were the fantastic gadget caches in the area.

Thanks 4Moule for the cache.

Had a chance to come out this side of town and discover a wide variety of different types of caches. Another quick find with one and just picking up the last few hides as we make our way along the trail. Thanks 4Moule for the well made hide.

This was a great opportunity to get away with some caching friends in Mildura. The plan was to hit some of the local trails and geo art. There was many other hides discovered, with some really great containers and hides in the area.

Love finding large containers out in the wide.

Thanks 4Moule for placing the cache and doing the maintenance, so we can enjoy the find.

Found by The Empire
Here in Mildura for a few days with Snap Happy, omegaman1971, Happy Feet and Happy Pants.
Once we'd finished finding the nearby turtle series geoart, we were keen to keep on caching into the late afternoon, then on and into the night. "There's another one over here" was the saying heard most today. We found a plethora of different cache types, hide styles and were happily perplexed at some GZs! I was also able to dish out many favourite points. Thanks for the cache 4Moule.

This one is perfect for the geokids TFTC

After finding all the caches in the Paddle steamer and Turtle Series over the past few days there was still time to cache around Mildura and Red Cliffs.

Thanks for placing this fun cache ????

TFTC 4Moule

Woo hoo

FurfacesLL, Rapidlywild, LíB and myself found a number of caches outside of the Paddle steamer and Turtle Series whilst in the area.

Most of the caches are stamped as The Mob (consisting of The Drovers, LíB, FurfacesLL, Rapidlywild, and myself), however a handful contain our own caching names or initials.

2020 was not a great year, and the beginnings of 2021 have also been tricky - so when it looked like the various borders would be open again (without quarantine restrictions), a trip was spontaneously planned and I was able to pull together a number of my caching friends who hadn't cached together before to form "The Mob".

LíB and I started in SA, drove to Victoria and ended our trip in SA; FurfacesLL and Rapidlywild came from Canberra and The Drovers began their journey from NSW; and then a few days later, feathertop from Victoria, joined us to complete the On Your Bike Series and other caches in SA.

We filled our days with piling in cars, hard core caching, Adventure Labs, crazy funny CB radio chatter, some laughter, some tense moments (OMG some of the ladder and tree climbs on this trip were crazy!), lots of lovely meals and even live music from a band called "Kung Fu Jesus" - nope, that is no joke.

We had hot weather each day (well into 30s), so I am thrilled that I now own a car fridge to keep the drinks icy cold (loving them at about 1 degree celcius).

A sincere thanks to 4Moule for placing this cache.

A plan was hatched with Rapidlywild to attack some of the caching trails down in VIC/SA.
With the boarders slowly staying open we thought Easter might be a safe time to try since the QLD boarder was still too fragile to attempt going to the MEGA and it also looked like it could be rather wet there.

After completing the PS series we split up as The Drovers had already done the ones we were about to do.
We still signed the logs as either The Mob or put our initials in the logs.

There were a lot of different kinds of hides here which really good. Nice to have something a little different.

Expected something different at this one but still a quick find and we were on our way.

Thanks for the placement and maintenance of this cache 4Moule

For the first time in a long time, it was road trip time. With COVID-19 keeping everyone at home for so long, the borders were finally opening and the feet were itchy for a decent caching trip. Plans were made with FurfacesLL to do a 10 day road trip across to Mildura and Loxton to do a heap of caching and we were excited. Across the 10 days we racked up over 4,300km in driving, multiple hotels/motels, brought home enough red dust to create our own sand pit in the back yard and collected over 1800 finds between us. It was a massive trip and lots of fun was had.

We teamed up with GoodLook, FeatherTop, The Drovers and LiB and signed most logs as "The Mob". There were a few caches which were signed as individual team names as some teams had already completed said caches, those will be noted individually.

Our target caches were the Turtle Series, the Paddle Steamer Series and the On Ya Bike wherigo Series, heaps of other caches were also collected along the way but our primary target caches were completed which made us all very happy and very tired geocachers.

Was day 3 of our trip away and today we were back out to finish off the PS Series with "The Mob" consisting of GoodLook, The Drovers, FurfacesLL, LiB and myself. We managed to get heaps done yesterday so only needed a couple hours out on these today then The Drovers went off to do some caches they had left unfound whilst the rest of us went to do some around Mildura/Red Cliffs that they had already found.

THe treasure was found, was half expecting something different based on the name, log located and replaced as found.

Thanks for the hides 4Moule And thanks to "The Mob" for a trip to remember [^].
