Nice easy find!! TFTC!!

Great spot. TFTC

Nice easy one. TFTC

Taking a short break from the Ballarat GeoTour to fill in a blank LGA. Nice track leading to this larger than life cache. Such interesting swaps available, but we TNLN.
Thanks for placing this cache Gemmasistema for our fun.

Out for a country drive today with the added bonus of picking up a few caches along the way. A nice quick detour in here. Apeaceful area.

Thanks GemmaSistema. Added some swaps. All good here.

I stopped by this out of the way reserve.
Looks to have fallen on hard times this place with a broken sign.
However the cache is in tip top condition and was a lot bigger than i expected.
Thanks Gemma for this one..

We had to go to Maryborough today, so we stopped by to find this cache on the way back home. We have driven past so many times, but figured it was about time we stopped for it. TFTC GemmaSistema.

Found with Sorceysal on a cool Sunday arvo. This was another quick find on the long drive home. Thanks again Gemma, nice to see such a large container

Out on a chilly Sunday with bogonghazy to grab a few caches between Creswick and Talbot. Heading home but still a few caches to get along the way. A nice big container for us to find. Thanks Gemma

Yes

Find #2760 for me. Found at 7:09 am while on my way from Bendigo to Smythesdale for the event and CITO. This was a quick find for me as the low sun was slowly revealing itself, glistening behind the trees and heralding the start of a wonderful new day! Thanks for bringing me here today Gemma, and thanks for the cache!

Another big quick cache, i am having a fun day, thanks

Traveling between the Heathcote Dark Sky Site and Beaufort for the last event of the year.
Grabbed a few caches and AdLabs on the way.

Can't say I have ever been to this park before.
Might be worth a return visit when I have some more time (and the deadly treadly)
Thanks, Robmc.

Thanks

Thanks for hiding this geocache for me to find.

On a caching and camping trip with day1976, he put together the list of caches, and I worked out we could camp near Mt Beckworth.
After camping and caching around Beckworth, we headed up to Talbot, but realised there was a very busy market on, so headed bush again to do more caches.

Found on a fantastic day out in the area.
Great weather at this time of year for some geocaching.
Thanks for the hide.
Took a bit to see the right road in as we drove past it first time around, certainly a hidden spot!

Found with McAdies and Jelly_bean14.
I had a great time today finding this geocache.
Thanks for placing it for us to find.

Found with McAdies and Geo_Eddie.
It was a really nice day to be out and about finding geocaches.
Thanks for placing this cache for us to find.

Tftc and taking us there

Travelled out to Avoca to join in the celebration events and explore an area I’ve not been to before.

A beautiful conservation area tucked in behind some farms and properties. A quick find and all good at GZ.

Thanks GemmaSistema for the cache.

Who would have known this was even here? Thanks GemmaSistema for the nice size cache and bringing us here.

Well this was an interesting little area. After making the find we took the opportunity to have our picnic lunch in the area. Thanks for placing.

Another find while out with Glanville Girls and Wozzles68. Tanks for the hide.

Love the conservation area and the large cache. Thanks for bring us to this beautiful spot!

WOW! Wasn’t expecting one that big. TFTC

Found it!

After attending the Talbot Market and not having the geodaughter complaining about going home straight away, Mr and Mrs P were able to take a slightly different route home and pick up some more caches. This one was found without too much searching, but I did have a careful check that there wasn't anything scaley also living in the GZ. Thx GemmaS for hiding this nice sized cache. Cheers

The kids loved this cache

??????

Great!

Quick find out on our way to Beaufort. Once we got to there, the GPS bounced around a heap so just used our nose and made our way to GZ. Cache was found easily and retrieved without some metal detecting muggles seeing. TFTC

QUIET! yes it is and yes we LOVED it!!!!!
Southern_4x4 on facebook says TFTC!!!!

Cool wee spot

Found

Locals bored during isolation for covid-19

Nice spot

Thanks for the cache! Found after the GPS had a fit but found all the same

Found it! Bit of back tracking

Great find on a family day out

Tftc nice drive from dunolly

TFTC. Another hot one forecast and in need of a cache to keep up our streak we did a quick morning run to our furtherest close cache. What a lovely peaceful bit of bush land, that we did not know existed. thanks for bringing us out here Gemma. Now back home to the air con.

Found with Becca85 & Neisha07. Sorry for the late logging. TFTC!

Quick find with Becca85 & Boo09. TFTC

A calendar day required today but a busy day so we resorted to this one close to home.
A quick find and another day filled. So close! TFTC

This was a nice place well worth a cache. Many thanks GemmaSistemma.

Sitting at my computer during these Covid lockdowns, I am trying to catch up on a few logs that I haven't sent in yet.

Over the years, geocaching has taken me on many adventures, including interesting destinations all over my home continent of Australia and many overseas as well. It has also introduced me to a diverse group of like-minded caching tragics, many of whom I now call close friends.

Today, I was lucky enough to be out and about searching for caches, something I do on almost a daily basis. This was one cache that was targeted and found.

Sorry for the late log, something I am notorious for. Thank you for adding to the adventure that is geocaching.

Thanks GemmaSistema (F=6439 H=161) for the cache.

A couple of days in and around Ballarat gave us the perfect opportunity to seek out a variety of caches such as this one which seem to be dominating our geo-map at present.
Great cache to reward the kids for their treasure seeking skills.

Thanks 'GemmaSistema' for adding this cache to the gameboard.

Find # 8446

Found with Tyred n Cranky and Geodog Penny

Another day spent down Creswick way, After getting a heap Nth of Town we ventured in for a look at a couple more.

Heading home I asked if we could Detour for this one, seeing as Tyred n Cranky had already found it.
Thankfully they were happy to let me.
A quick find a GZ and i gotta say the Magna did make it down here from the black top

Day 89

We travelled over to Beaufort for just a day trip to attend the event and collect the wherigoes we had all been busy solving.
Now on our way home and we collected some of the new offerings along the way.
Thanks for contributing to a fun day GemmaSistema

Another new area for us , it was so pleasant here in the sun, so decided to have lunch. A short walk and the cache was located. Thanks Gemma.

Find No. 2694. Found at 11.24am

A drive around the countryside to find a few caches. We went in the car with Geodog Penny on board. Going down to Lexton then zigzagging our way to Talbot, out to Majorca for the final find for the day before heading for home.

It was great to find such a large container, with plenty of swaps, in a big hole and not a not just a nano. It is caches like this that brings the enjoyment back to caching. For this we are giving it a fav point.

Suscoe stopped by here today and we found the cache and had a cuppa as well.
A little damp underfoot.
All good here today and lovely and quiet.
Thanks to GemmaSistema for this hide.

TFTC nice part of the world Talbot

Headed out to the Conservation Reserve for 'just one more cache', enjoying our surroundings as bush caching is always our favourite way to gain virtual smilies. Brendan loved the swag in this one , he grabbed the CD's which we listened to all the way back to Maryborough, jiving in the car Replaced with a handful of our swaps to make up for the trade.
Thanks GemmaSistema for the placement out here, Im sure plenty more caches could fit in this reserve.

Decided to go for a drive and log a couple of caches. Soon found GZ but had to have a masters degree in Tetris to get it out. Wedged in quite well. Finally had it free so I could sign the log and managed to get it back in fairly easily. Thanks for the cache.

Interesting little area to visit.
The cache has enough sticks on it, no need to add any more.
A nice quick and easy find on the way home from an event in Maryborough.

1.56pm

We had a great day's caching today with ilook4geo. We had a program worked out which we followed until lunch time.This worked out well and all listed caches were found, with each having another couple of names added to the finders' log. At lunch time the program was abandoned with the discovery of some newly published caches around the Maryborough district, which is where we were still on the hunt.
This cache here was a nice straight forward find with good co-ords and thanks go to GemmaSistema for placing this cache.

The hunt with goingplaces2 was on today with some surprises, which was really good. This was a cache that was quickly found. Log signed and were on to the next target. TFTC.

FTF with PapaGrouch and MazzyMay. Our fourth FTF today, very happy about that. We made sure not to blink and found the road in to the cache. Nice large container that I dropped a TB into. TFTC

Found it with ScuFiRulz and MazzyMay, it was a great first to find with the girls TFTC

Logged as Nicnax with PapaGrouch and SciFiRulz. We headed out today to enjoy the adventure at Mount Beckworth, we were on our way home when the new cache rang out on my phone and we just had to turn around and make our way to Talbot to try our luck. We did the FTF dance and came away happy campers. TFTC Gemma
