I had organised for a weekend in Gippsland... with Sunday allocated to a run with the MX-5 Club from Drouin to Mirboo North for lunch... yeah, right into the middle of the *Italian Festa!* After lunch was "free time" to make your way home... so I went caching instead.

Following a nice and twisty drive to Boolarra, I pulled up for an ice cream... and this cache. An easy enough find using the Hint... as the coordinates seemed to be a bit out.

Thanks **ducky_legs & giraffe_legs** for this cache.

Find number 10440 at 12:33:50 pm on Monday the 2 May 2022
Out for a days Rail Trail eBike riding with gmj3191 and both our better halves, MuggleWifeDoes and PamJ. Rode from Mirboo North to Boolarra collecting caches along the way. We stopped at the Boolarra Store for lunch before returning uphill to our cars at Mirboo North.
'Twas a glorious day for a ride in the country and this location totally lived up to all our expectations.
After a nice bacon pie for lunch a short walk had this one quickly in hand.

Great day out the park . Good find
 
02-Feb-21
I got a Message from Skipair with a suggestion of heading to the Mirboo North and Boolarra area to tackle the GRT trail, I had been looking at those for some time but My driving is very limited at the moment so its great to have friends to drive you around and chat with. We also did several other caches in the area, most of the trail was walked as I am unable to ride a bike after being hit by a truck. This is a beautiful area to visit with several great view locations and we certainly took a few roads that are less traveled today.

This is one of the caches we found on our travels.

Logs signed as RASP

Thanks ducky_legs for the cache.

01-Jan-21
An easy find once I was alerted to the hint. GPS was putting me consistantly on the road area about 20 mtrs from the GZ. Cache OK
 
31-Dec-20
The second time I was here today, the first time the nighbour was mowing his lawns and watching. Today he was mowing again but after a short while he finished so I felt a bit more comfortable to look arround. GPS was a little off, pointed me last time to the same spot as today. Had to sit down and think a bit before I was able to sign the log.

Well what a cracker of a day! Travelled to Boolara for our exercise, after parking the car we rode to Mirboo North for lunch (picked up a couple of caches along the way). Then we stopped to find the rest of the caches along the way.
Saw that a fellow geocacher that I had met previous was signing some of the logs with today's date so when we spotted him looking for a cache we had a good catchup.
This cache was the last for the day and I was glad I had been given a tip as the Coords were out a bit

Today is nice and sunny, so I decided to visit this great playground with Mr8 and Miss3. They always enjoy a play on the equipment, but I think they have much more fun climbing on the drover and his dog. There was a bit of a fuss though when they realised that someone had stood on the drovers hat wearing muddy shoes and it ended up all over their hands!
Just about to log this when the kids came over with a post box key they had found on one of the picnic tables. A quick dash across the road to drop it off at the post office, and then a detour to grab a coffee before heading back to the playground to watch the kids burn off a bit more of their energy.
I’m sure we had looked for a cache in this spot more than once with no luck. Nice to see this new one pop up. A straight forward find with the geo kids pleased to find a new treasure!

On our way to Sale to visit a dead Premier for a Wherigo cache this happened to be on route. Had I realised where the location I would have walked over from the toilets rather driven around the corner! I’m sure there used to be another cache near here once upon a time. Glad to see another has come to fill the gap. We did as advised and had a rest to sign the log.

Another great spot, TFTC
