Its Cactus Koorlong, Victoria, Australia
By 4Moule on 07-Oct-18. Waypoint GC7YPFR

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.

Oh this one was crazy awesome!!! Well done creator! You are brilliant!!! We loved this so much!!! Thanks heaps

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 Its Cactus for the geocaching community.# # #15767 # #

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

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. Another one that has us laughing

With bogonghazy and littleboss2. A quick find. Great camo

Quick find with muggle husband. Number four of the four we left for when we came back this time. Please keep placing these interesting caches Moules. It gives us so much fun finding them when we come for a weeks holiday. TFTC TNLNSL A Favourite Point

Nice quick easy find.

Had us walking in circles for a while until we spotted the obvious. Gave us a laugh!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****

Found 31.3.24

Found this one on a walk with the dogs. Did not even know this park was here.TFTC

I came out to this bunch of caches lured by favourite points and I wasnt disappointed at all. It was early morning and the sun was bright but the temperature was still fairly mild. The cactus was very cool. I love caches in the middle of the bush/desert. I replaced the baggie with a new ziplock and took the old broken one with me. TFTC

Prickly!

This one was a bit more friendly today

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 (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: that is a cool cactus. Tftc!!!

I am glad this cache is no longer cactus lol...or is it??? I am loving this creativity of yours. I had lots of fun this morning finding and amusing myself with your caches. Thankyou

Bringing home to carry out some maintenance on this geocache.

Geocache back in place ready to be found again.

We have carried out some cosmetic maintenance on this geocache and it is ready to be found again. Happy Caching!

Great find cactus is broken and full of water

A fantastic cache even when its positioning is cactus due to rain collection. This could be really tricky in drier times. TFTC TheMoules.

It certainly is!

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. Flies could no longer annoy me as I bought a fly-net that fitted nicely around my hat.
This first cache gave me a taste of things to come!

TFTC.

Awesome cache, so cool, TFTC

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

Geohubby and I made a quick find at GZ while geokids refueled with snacks in the car.

TFTC!

Out this morning in Mildura picking up a few caches. This was one of them. This one was a cool design, wish I could have stayed longer and appreciated it but there were so many tiny ants around the place! Tftc!!

#16758 - 6:05:00 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 one

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 creative hide at gz. This one had fallen over so was easy to spot. After signing the log we did a bit of maintenance to make sure it back in its correct position. Thanks for the cache.

Awesome!! Kids loved it

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 19 of 31 for the day.

Another one down in the area slowly running out of hides.

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!

28,503. 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

TFTC!

Awesome hide

Things can definitely go cactus when caching. Today I have a cactus tyre I’m keeping an eye on and pumping air into. A fun cache in a god location. TFTC

Fun idea

Good one

Love “it’s Catus”

I’m having this week off as others at work had the Easter break off so it was my turn and another trip up North to Mildura was planned.
I was able to leave Melbourne nice and early to get a few caches in on the way up to Culgoa.
So after a great feed and a couple of beers and of course great accomodation at the Kaneira Hotel I headed up towards Mildura to see how many I could find in the Paddle Steamer series.
I managed to find 115 and 165 in the last couple days but the uni joint in my right knee has finally said enough is enough with all of the getting in and out of the Geocruiser so it is time to spend a casual day around Mildura.
I got up nice and early to attend the Dawn Service at the park and it was great to see so many people there paying their respects.
After a wander around town and then completing the Turtle series which was the second reason why I came back up to Mildura it was time to keep my wandering around.
So after crossing the mighty Murray river for a few and then crossing back again so now I’m back on home soil.
After locating Mr Dipoles house collecting a package I continued along the tracks around here to find a few more.
I didn’t know that these things grew around here and I hoped I wasn’t going to get a few prickles while signing the log for this one.

Thanks TheMoules TFTC.

Prick of a cache.

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

It certainly a very apt name. Cache found travelling back rds today . TFTC

Whoo hooo very easy though

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

Out caching today with Wollaston and SeasonedBird. Perfect day for caching thanks for arranging. Fav point alloc

Catching up on some very late logs

On our way to SA to visit Honeysucker we stopped to do a few in this series but the quality of the hides kept us going much longer than we planned.

As we approached we thought to ourselves you were a bit premature calling the big boy cactus. He was certainly not in his prime and was not looking well but there was still a chance for him. We searched around but had no luck until Diane noticed where the GPSr was pointing.
We headed there and have to say the cache page was right this one was cactus. A bit more of a search and we had the log in hand and were adding our name to it and another favourite point to the page.
Many thanks 4moule for another great hide you have excelled.

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.

Drove close to GZ then took off on foot. Spotted the hide on approach. It’s quite lifelike Loved this one so have a FAVE

Nice work on the hide here, it’s great to see more than a mint tin. Even though cactus are my least favourite plants.

Retrieved this one quickly., all in good shape .TFTCache.

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.

It certainly is! Managed to get a hand on this one without getting hurt, found while cleaning up a few caches out along this back road. Thanks again 4Moule for the fun 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.

Good to see, something a bit different.

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.

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

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.

No issues with this one.

Thanks for the placement and maintenance of this cache 4Moule
