Rifle Butt Swamp Mildura, Victoria, Australia
By ww2_nut on 25-Oct-18. Waypoint GC7ZFMY

After having been replaced a few times it seems this location is just not muggle proof.
Thanks to all the visitors, but we'll archive this one now.

This ones tricky

Disabling until we can check on cache. There is obviously something a miss.

Hi there ww2_nut.

We found your cache **"Rifle Butt Swamp"** at 10:50:00 AM today. (This makes our find count 24639).

We're staying in Mildura to hunker down over the current Victorian lockdown. On our daily exercise stroll today we decided to attempt some caches around the local area. We found 4 caches & DNF'd 0.

Very suprised to see a couple of DNF's on this cache. Dunno how the newbies could have missed it.

Thanks for placing this cache here. Over the years, Geocaching has taken us on many adventures and to lots of wonderful destinations all over Australia. Without 'caching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our nomadic wanderings. 'Caching has also introduced us to a diverse group of like-minded people, many of whom we now call friends.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found your cache around 3m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing
**Left:** Smiley Badge.

Thank you ww2_nut for adding to our adventure.

Regards

Ian & Penny

Nice little find. Great to get back into caching after such a long time away from it. Found this one in the dark. Was a pleasant little find, the frogs at night sound so lovely.

Thanks.

One of our group originally missed it but was a nice spot!

Mildura, Day 3

This morning it was out to complete the turtle trail.
We continued out towards the bend in the river, we seemed to get confused with all the various tracks out here.
Today we found such a variety of caches, puzzles, multi & some clever gadget caches which we really enjoyed.

Thanks for placing this cache ww2_nut

Grabbed this one after an event here today

Took the MTB for a spin to the bridge and back this morning and then headed over to Merbein for a few caches. Clocked the outside temp at 32oC so it was a tough gig at times

Just had to see what a riflebutt swamp looks like Quite dry in here but some water in the pond for the ducks. Easy find at GZ.

Found it. Good hunt with the fam

Great find on a sunny day. Nice spot for a casual stroll. Geo daughter found it with ease. TFTC

We parked up top and I headed off for GZ. Found a likely spot and after a short search the cache was found. On the stroll back I did notice how dry it is up here. Two weeks ago in South East Melbourne we had 70mils overnight. I would have loved to be able to send it up here.
Thanks for the caching fun ww2_nut

1st geocache .
The Hunt starts now

Visited cache today. Cache as it should be with room in the logbook still.

Thanks

Yay 3 out of 3 today

Nice spot

I have been eyeing this one off since i arrived here in Mildura on Sat 1 Feb.
I don't know why but if i didn't get it this and the Eco Village one nearby these would be "glaring at me" green boxes that jast have to be turned into Smilies

I got 1 out of 2 this morning the other was a DNF [v]

Parked the Geo-Mobile where i originally though i couldn't and made the short journey to the cache on foot. Looking in a very likely spot, nothing presented itself [:o]

Widenend the search a wee bit to the next looking 'likely spot' and the booty was in hand immediately.... damn Smartphone GPS lol

Unscrewing it was a bit tight so post find and sign i made sure that the re-screw was smooth as to not cross-thread it [^] All sweet as bro

SL on Mon 3 Feb 2020, then made my way to the AroundAgain recycle shop for a browse [^]

Easy find once we used geo son's iPhone gps as my Samsung was driving me crazy with 10-15m errors whilst trying to zero in on caches.

Good quality cache. Well hidden.

Nice quick find at a location I have visited previously. Cache #3188.

Found by Roma and Max.
In Mildura for a family Xmas gathering and having only recently had the pleasure of meeting the owners of this cache we were looking forward to finding some of their hides in the somewhat limited time available for geo finding.
Good numbers made for a quick find.
Thank you K & K.
Cheers from Romax.

Day 106 of our trip. Caching along the way. In Mildura today. A total of 1 for the day and 2709 for the trip. TFTC

Sunday morning, first day of summer, with a sprinkling of rain out and about in the very good company of Suscoe, seeking some caches relatively close to the centre of town. A quick find by P=H in an interesting wetland.

Thanks 'ww2_nut' for adding this cache to the geo-gameboard.

Suscoe headed out today for another interesting wander around Mildura in the great company of Phetlern.
It was a very different day today with some rain overnight and during the day with much cooler temperatures.
We appreciated the cooler weather.

Thanks to ww2_nut for this hide.
All good here today.

The eldest 2 Geo boys ran off to find this one on their own. They returned triumphantly for the log to be signed. Nice spot for a hide, I enjoy walking around this place from time to time. Tftc

A small geowalk in the neighbourhood brought me to this swamp - rather dry at the moment. However, cache was eady to spot & log.

Great easy cache tftc. You forget these places are here.

Thanks

Nice day for a caching stroll

Interesting way to see place you normally don’t go.

Thanks

Quack Quack!

Travelling around Australia, camped on the mighty Murray. The 'house' is still where it was when it rained but we managed to get 'out' in the GeoCruiser to tackle a few more local caches today.

TFTC

Did not take long to find this well hidden cache. Only one duck seen on the water today.
More interesting notes to read.

Thanks

Easy find tftc

Granted, we're relatively new to this whole Geo Caching experience, but without a description of the actual cache/container, or its location, and sans any hints, we had no idea what we were looking for our where to find it. Came away empty handed. Disappointing.

Nice easy find. Found with georocks101. TFTC

Easy find with stray_dog. Very quiet at night time. Tftc

Navigating around Mildura with CPwanderer today after a smooth drive from SA. There were cars parked nearby, but saw no one as we didn't have far to walk. After a short struggle with the nearby trees, we found a nice sized cache. Thanks for bringing us here ww2_nut

Glad to find out that I am the first person to find it 3500
