Setting out for a day of caching along the border between Victoria and NSW. This was the first find for the trip,. Unfortunately the lid is cracked and has a damp log .

Thank u!

Well hidden, knee height. Thanks. Damp but writeable.

Found out in the open. Container is very wet and log damp. Drained water and replaced with a bit of cover over the blue clips. Thanks for placing.

Quick find TFTC

Found and in fairly good condition. Thank you

This one was fun to find

Found it! Lid on the cache was cracked so it was full of water - I emptied it out. Log was dry inside the plastic bag.

New and last of the Victorian LGAs to discover..a small detour on my destination to pick up this cache. Very pretty looking place..I shall endeavour to return to explore some more when time permits.

With Featherwaite we're on our way home from Canberra after the GeoBash Mega over Easter.On our way we set our route to take in LGAs that I have no finds in. Day 1 we made it to Wodonga and Day 2 we arrived in Terrick Terrick NP and Day 3 we were home.Unless stated this cache is in good condition.Apologies for the generic log.TFTC

Found with Team Waldron on our way back to Adelaide after attending the Capital GeoBash mega event in Canberra over the Easter weekend. Stayed in Wodonga overnight then headed westward to Mt Terrick Terrick campsite near Mitiamo, searching for caches along the way. Thanks for the cache Thewins5!

On our way to Canberra Mega, decided to spend a few days in Albury as we cache our way to 4000 caches.Today was the day we wanted to explore Lake Hume. A Willie wagtail showed us the way to the cache. Tftc.

Found it, TFTC

Easy find TFTC

Careful of snakes

Found before travelling from Albury to Canberra (home) after having been in Ballarat to complete the GeoTour. Quick find at GZ, awesome views from up here. TNLNSL. TFTC Thewins5!

A special pre-Christmas weekend in Albury/Wadonga with my partner catnap777 visiting family and a whole heap of solved mystery caches. This was one trad' I really wanted to add to the list simply because it was close to the border of a county I hadn't yet cached in. What I wasn't expecting was to be introduced to such an amazing location. This was the first time I laid eyes on the bridge or the quarry and... WOW!! Awesome. Actually, I think it was my first visit to lake hume too. TFTC Thewins5..... and the views.

I was in the north-east to spend a few days in the Snowy high country with the MX-5 Club... starting tomorrow morning in Beechworth... so I had driven up from Melbourne today for an easy start in the morning... and to find enough caches in the Towong Shire to be able to cross that LGA off for the **WCW - The 80/20 Rule Challenge**... something the beginning of the **Border Loop** series was perfect for.Now back across into Victoria, time to start my cruise along the *River Road*... which, unlike my previous trip, would be quite slow as I would be stopping regularly along the way for caches. First stop in Victoria was an easy find... if you didn't mind getting your socks and shoes full spiky seeds. Thanks to **Thewins5** for this cache... and the series.

very lovely view

Thank you good spot!!

Bit more difficult but good find

Day 128 of our greynomad trip up north from Vic which started in June, and day 127 of a streak.With QOGM done and dusted for it's final year we are heading the caravan towards home, well sort off. Goal is to tick off LGA's and missing sectors in 360 degrees from home. With that goal in mind, we are heading across the border today to tick off Toowong LGA, gathering smilies as we travel, and our first in this LGATFTC TB's visited

First one for our afternoon drive. Cache OK

Found it saw an echidna while there great spot

Echidna

A bit harder to find but a great little cache to find

Nice view from the cache tftc

Coordinates changed to:
S 36° 5.527 E 147° 3.907

Distance from original: 164.5 feet or 50.1 meters.

Last hide has been compromised. Same container type moved slightly. Hint will be updated

Cache relocated to new coordinates. Hopefully it lasts here.
Will need to walk a little to enjoy the view

Cache is ready to go - just need to get out to place (in a new location I suspect). Hopefully will get a chance over the Easter weekend.

This one has had problems recently - container is now smashed but I have the log (those ticks were a fair way from the original hide). I will replace in a new location nearby over the next few weeks

We found it damaged by an animal left log book at base of rocks

Found GZ based on GPS coordinates and likely hiding spot, however based on previous cachers post, it appears that the log is gone. Maintenance required

Maintenance required. Appears log is missing

*Found on the 15 Jan 2023 @ 2:01 pm.*
*Cache find # 14037.*

After completing one LGA, it was now time to move onto the next one.

I headed out on a road trip to concentrate on 3 particular LGA’s finding enough caches in each so that I will finally qualify for a particular challenge cache.
I was passing by this one so I stopped, it wasn’t long before the cache was found and the log was stamped.

**Thanks to Thewins5 for placing this cache.**

Good spot for a cache and thanks for the information on the dam.
TFTC TNLN

The background to this cache location was quite interesting especially since how the dam was constructed is often ignored when traveling around Lake Hume. In fact how dams are constructed often vary from location to location to it was good to read about aspects of the evolution of this dams construction.

Albury. Day2
Camped at the SSA club
In the afternoon we took a run out to the Hume Weir to view the water comming over the spill way.
Naturally we stopped to locate caches as we went.
This was a really interesting way to visit this area
Thanks for placing your cache.

A trip from Canberra, ACT to Whittlesea, Vic with a few side quests for LGAs. TFTC.
Quick find with a great view.

Found on the trip home after another awesome, annual QOGM event. On the hunting trail again with SeasonedBird (aka Mrs Geo, Salty Chook, the Old Boiler, Old Chook, Dirty Bird, Angry Bird & occasionally even Love Bird). It’s a great day for caching.

While in the area and with a bit of free time, we picked up a few caches.
Very enjoyable traveling this road, with some great scenery.
Caches found in good condition. Signed and replaced.
Many thanks for placing this cache, Thewins5, for us and others to find.

Found with McAdies and Geo_Eddie.
We are on school holidays and enjoyed a few days away exploring the area.
Thank you for placing the geocache for us to find today.

Found with McAdies and jelly_bean14.
I had a great time exploring this area with my family.
Thanks for the hide.

Quick find.
Cache in good condition.
Thanks for the hide.

Nice find. Didn’t sign book too many bugs

Cache was back in its spot - I suspect someone knows the hide as I removed the offensive note left in the cache (hopefully not any more further along the road).
Will keep an eye on this one and move if it is going to be problematic- the hint will move with it.
Tb is also missing

Cashe was not hidden, wind could have disturbed it

Had no pen ;(

Cool little spot

Had been worried this had been moved - it should not take 20 minutes to find.
Finally visited today and cache is gone. Contacted last finder to see if I can track it down but will be back soon to replace.

Jumped too early. Hunted a bit more and found the cache about 8 metres from original spot. Returned to where it should be.
There is a bit of disturbance around here so I will keep an eye out

No luck today. Will have to try again.

We found it it was a little hard to find but we did find it fun

Very interesting took 20 mins to found but very thrilling need to look around

A nice quick find.
TFTC

Great simple start on this caching road

I made a short detour up to Toowong LGA from Wadonga to fill a missing LGA on my map.

The cache was found without problems in a logical place. All good here.

Thanks for the cache Thewins5.

TFTC. We are stuck in Albury for a few days while waiting for part for our Motorhome. so many decisions as to which way to cache. We tossed a coin and decided to make a start on the Border Loop series. We went out as far as Tarrangatta creek. A lovely trail and great views everywhere.
Cache find no:13517

Crossed the bridge back into Victoria for a great little find closer to sunset. Thanks.

A nice quick and easy find.
Lovely cool breeze coming off the water.
TFTC

Just catching up with some late logging on caches found with ilook4geo. This was one of the caches we found and the log was duly stamped with both names. Thanks go to Thewins5 for placing this cache.

Went out on the caching hunt with goingplaces2 and found this cache. No problem with the find and signing duties were soon done. TFTC.

TFTF

Getting closer to the end we continued our adventure with Papi4506 and Geoturtle37 along the Murray taking in the magnificent vistas of the tree clad hills one way and calm waters the other.
We watched a couple of jet skis from up here, very envious of them.
Thanks Thewins5 for the placement.

A slow meander after a busy weekend at the Wangaratta Mega. Collecting a cache in Towong Shire helps fill in a gap in my LGA challenge.

Came here as the closest doable cache to Albury... lolA quick find with an awesome view.TNLNSL Thanks

Found it! Watch for spiders*

Great spot! It was covered in red backs so didn’t write on it

It was an amazing find it was super easy to find I liked this one it was fun to find it

Another quick Xmas eve cache. Thanks

Out for a day geocaching with piDay20! A quick find then back in the car. TFTC!!

Out caching with JOELISA on this fine December day. Pretty cool driving over that bridge, I always think it’s way too narrow but it just gets the job done. Simple cache, confident start to the border loop series. Thankyou!

So many trees good hiding spot container is wet in side

A lot of rock taken out of that hillside. Thanks Thewins5.

An Ooshi for a smiley face rubber.

Found it. Top view !!

Nice easy one for the kids. Cheers

Easy going

Another quick find on the side of the Lake Hume thanks for the hide

Great fun racing to find this cache with the family. Beautiful views in nature.

To celebrate my birthday, Mrs. Dozzie and I drove down from Sydney to Albury to spent a few days exploring the area, including Rutherglenn, Beechworth and Yackandandah. Of course a few caches had to be added to the program, including a few along the Hume highway.

The surrounds of Lake Hume and Bellbird are quite depressing. No trees, a boring lake and where do people do their shopping? Not a place I would like to spend my vacation.
Luckily there were a number of caches in the area which made it still worthwhile to drive up here.

TFTC Thewins5.
