VB - One for the short people Eden, New South Wales, Australia
By dghoffy on 13-Sep-19. Waypoint GC8DHX2

Visited it during 28-days geotrip to Australia, N.Caledonia, Vanuatu, Fiji, Am.Samoa, Fr.Polynesia with Marci, Ch. Sometimes we logged as "MT" or "Jonea" or "MTCh". Thanks for showing nice caches and places. MT-Jonea from Brno city in Czechia EU.

Pity this has to go, but we can't replace it

Sadly a DNF here

Appears this one has gone missing. Not sure yet if an alternative can be sourced.

There is a suspicious cleared square at GZ were we think was probably the cache, owner attention required

No cache, just a suspicious square of "something-used-to-be-sitting-here" left marked on the ground....

Another stop by the road, to break up the driving. Spotted the cache from a distance, but don't think any muggles would get here.Enjoyed the cache container.

Another cool container, perfect for the vertically challenged. Dropped off TB TFTC JENPETEH, The H,s , South Africans living in Tassie GeoCaching our way around Australia and loving it

Loved the cache container. TFTC.

Found by Mary and David at 12:45. So excited to be back in Eden. Our thanks to dghoffy.

Being slightly vertically challenged I thought this cache was right up my alley.Stopped the van sprayed the bug spray choked myself out of the van .found the cache ..I wasn't amused.. okay maybe slightly.

Quickly found after dismissing it as it looked too obvious

Today was planned to find the majority of the VB series for the annual geocaching trip. Great start to the day with the most beautiful weather on the coast. TFTC!

We are having a break looking for some sun and to get away from the constant threat of flooding. TFTC

Down this way for a 2 week break from the big smoke, camping at Kiah.

We are having a short break in beautiful Merimbula to get away from the never ending rain and flooding. TFTC

**This Cache**

[@sebass19](http://coord.info/PRFV6FQ) must be really short, because he ducked under the tree cover and found this cache in seconds! well done to him and many thanks!

**All caches were signed *AB ! 11 / 9***
Adventure Boys! consisted of: Loci612, DARKSIDEDAN and sebass19 for this trip

**Day 2: VB Series**

Today our main focus was the VB series, plus a few extras along the coastline section of the loop! We started nice and early at 7am and had a jam packed day until we decided to leave the last 20 or so for the next morning! We didn't expect the series to take quite as long as it did, but with some tricky hides, tough bush bashing through thick regrowth and a couple of DNF's the time added up quickly! Thankfully we almost had the roads to ourselves, at one point we saw less than a handful of cars over several hours! We did see a big bikie group coming through the forest at one stage also!

Absolutely fantastic series, easily one of the best in NSW! I'm not a big fan of power trails but this was far from one! Just a cluster of awesome caches, on quiet roads with plenty of parking and lots of creativity and fun to be had!
Thanks dghoffy!

Find#3193

Found while on a Subaru shuffle from Tassie. Tftc!

Super quick and easy find. Signed and did a swap. TFTC. Time to carry on home.

Another great, creative cache!

When you are on holidays, what do you do first thing in the morning? For us we get up with the dawn and my my wife goes off for a 15km run, I go geocaching. This is the first time we have both been to Eden and its a lovely little town. Shame we have to head home now.

Quick find at 7.50 am, outer containers wet, but log fine.

Thanks for the cache dghoffy
Hunter

Was fill of water easy to find

Being a shorty I thought this one would be appropriate to find in between ordering and picking up fish and chips at the wharf for Good Friday.! A spider greeted me on the cache lid. tftc

Great

Easy find.

Out for a great adventure. away from home. having a break and caches. Great area. Interesting sites. Thanks for bring me out here.

Found with TeamPPSS as we clean up some caches in the region. A favourite point given by the short people in the team. TFTC

Pretty easy. Definitely for short people

Funny thing - my GPS took me to a place 50m from the GZ then decided to do the right thing. No explanation! Thanks for the cache.

We were on our way back to our campsite from Eden where we picked up some groceries and lunch when we decided to stop by some quick trads in this series.
Having done some Variety Bash caches on our last trip up to the area, I knew they'd be good, but it seems I'd forgotten just how good!
I was curious as to the theming of this cache, as the only attribute I could discern from the title was its elevation.
But, of course, this CO is far more clever than just that!
A quick walk in through a relatively well-defined trail brought me to a very likely hiding spot and the subsequent unveiling of the cache construction gave me a good laugh.
Very well-themed indeed!

Thanks to dghoffy for another excellent hide!

TFTC

Haha love it. All good with cache.
Visiting the coast for events and a few caches with barb2e and Kittykatch. Weather is fabulous.
Thanks For getting me out and about dghoffy

Found with Joolay and Kittykatch while in Eden on our second day on the coast collecting a few local caches. Tftc

Easy reach here. Found on a weekend trip to Merimbula with GrimRaider, Joolay and barb2e Capital Crunchers). Thanks for your hide here dghoffy

My first in this series. I was on a trig finding mission and stopped for a cache or two along the way. TFTC

Found on an early morning drive to drop a friend in Eden to catch a bus.

Cheers

Finally, enough restrictions have been lifted that we can get out for a nice day trip and find some caches. The VB series was the perfect choice. Slathered in hand sanitiser and masks donned when necessary, we got ourselves some smilies. Thanks dghoffy for a great day and a bunch of new finds.

Another very very cute hide. Love the creativity of the series. Found with k8tybee and Nibleteicecakes. TFTC

With our masks ?? and sanitizer we are out in the area for a couple of days, adventuring for my birthday ?? with nibletricecakes and GLISS! TFTC ??

Normally I’m good on the photos but today I was a little off my game so here is a photo of my pixie kitty instead. ??

Gotcha. Thank goodness for the “path” that helped us get into this one for a fast find.

Down at the coast with GLISS! to help K8TYBEE celebrate her birthday. Perfect time to grab some funky caches, check out some antique shops and stare at the beautiful beach. Been watching the news in case the dreaded Covid rears it’s head down this way. So far things are looking all clear. Thanks for the cache.

I couldn’t find a whippersnapper to find it for me so I went anyway. TFTC.

Just passing by enjoying the sunshine after all the rain. TFTC

Done

quick find cycling down to Towamba road. tftc in innovative seat.

Nice hide.

Mrs Ski who is shorter than some appreciated this one as she quickly spotted it!

Its been a while since we have made it up to the southern New South Wales coast but we are back for a week or so. Haven't chosen our time well with all the wind an rain that is about but it is still great to be away. But this has been of benefit to the local cafes as we have visited a few!

With a bit of a break in the weather we thought it was time to head out and look for a few local caches. There is quite a bit of new activity in the area since we were last here and with most of it by D G Hoffy, we knew there would be good and varied hides on the agenda. We weren't disappointed!

We managed to dodge most of the heavy showers during our time out and were treated to some magnificent scenery. All in all a great day.

The Canberra day long weekend falls on the first weekend in March so we usually take this time to head out of town. So this year, the caching troupe of us and Rapidlywild decided to head to the Merimbula to Eden coastline to collect a few smiley's.

Day 2 of the adventure and the weather was lovely and it was really nice to get some sea breeze on our faces and sand between our toes. Sorry for the generic logs

Another quick find at this one.
Thanks for the hide and series dghoffy

With the Canberra Day Long Weekend upon us, the FFLL ladies and I usually take off towards SA or the likes for some caching, however with the unpredictability of COVID on the borders, we decided we would try for something a little closer to home. We decided that we would come down and have a crack at the VB trail around Eden and Merimbula. It was a great weekend away with both the FFLL ladies and it was nice to see the ocean and get some sun on our faces.

Day 2 of our weekend away and time to collect some more smilies. A nice quick find here for us shorties

Thanks for the cache placement dghoffy and thanks for the wonderful weekend away FFLL ladies Always enjoyable and always something to look forward to.

Nice bit of bush close to the road. Tftc

Another moral, caching quandry here !! [:o]
I don't count meself as 'short'.
So do I have the right to find and claim this cache [?]

Short people ... er ... *height impaired* people,
may say NO !! [:o]
I, as a member of the *shortness impaired* population disagree !! [:o)]

So I'm claiming this cache in the name of people of all statures

Oh if only world peace was that easy

TFTC

Nice little find. TFTC

Today Pa and I were helping friends by translocating one of their cars down to Eden where they have bought their new home. As I was travelling in my car I was able to stop along the way and grab a couple of caches.

By now we have booked into our motel and Pa kindly agreed to drive me out to start this series. It was just as well he was driving as I must have been in la la land as I now think that I have dated my finds with all sorts of peculiar dates. Some were dated the 4th and I think some were even dated January, did 2020 appear in there too, instead of 3/2/2021.

What a fantastic series this is. You are to be congratulated on the incredible effort that has gone into the placement and making of these wonderful caches. Am I going to have enough FPs to award ? If not I will have to add them after I have earned more.

I love the way that the name often is the hint. When i first got out of the car I wasn't impressed but Monty, aka my GPSr, soon showed the way. TFTC dghoffy. TNLN SL

Found it!

The teenagers found it before I cougar make it to the GZ. TFTH
