Found with Team Waldron on our way back to Adelaide after attending the Capital GeoBash mega event in Canberra over the Easter weekend. After an early morning start from Canberra we made our way to Wodonga for the night, finding caches along the way. Thanks for the cache baby&MrsGopher!

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

We are on our way home from the Canberra geo bash, where we had a fantastic time, now it is time to return to normality.We are picking up the odd cache as we wander down the road and need to stretch our legs.SL TFTC

A mega Easter caching holiday to Canberra and back, with +Wife and EveTheStaffy. Tonight, we are going to the local pub for dinner before heading to Lavington for the night.But first, just one more cache.Christine recognised the container for what it once was. We have hidden a couple of these.Added to our list of favorites.

A night spent at Holbrook as we make our way north to the mega festivities we decided we must do the remaining 3 finds for us here before continuing our journey. Waited for a workman to leave the site nearby before making the search, since and return.Thanks baby&Mrs gopher for the placement.

A quick find here on my way to the Canberra Mega. More like be aware of those bush spiders they are everywhere at the moment. Cache retrieved and log signed. TFTV

A lovely quick and easy find bigger than anticipated and blended in nicely.TFTC

We are on our way to Canberra for the Geobash and had stopped in Holbrook for lunch. This was one of a few caches we found after lunch. My initial scan of the area missed the cache but I was soon able to sign the log. Thanks to baby&Mrs gopher for the cache.

Simple cache and a quick find on the way home. Nobody about to disturb the hunt.... except, perhaps, for the residents.

Nice

Reperio 13:55The family and I were headed down to Melbourne today for a couple of days, and had a little bit of time spare to stop by a few caches along the way. Managed to pull up right next to GZ where the cache was quickly spotted, but retrieved slowly.

Easy find in a nice little spot.

On our way back from a caching weekend in Albury, barb2e and I were eying off a good cemetery cache and were not disappointed. TFTC. The Noisy Friarbirds had a field day in the Callistemons. Also think I just saw some Superb Parrots.*Found with [Geooh GO](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobiltal.geoohGO)*

Found with tassie expat while exploring this interesting area. Accurate coords and in good condition. Thanks for putting a cache here.

A quick find with frmen1 after a visit to the submarine. If we weren't pressed for time, we would have loved to have a walk around. TFTC

After an extremely busy two-ish months, I was finally able to get out with my new geo-mobile and go Geocaching. I decided it was time to clean up the area between Wagga and Holbrook. This trip was via Mangoplah. I found most of the caches I planned to find. Most were quick finds and others I needed to PAF option. The others I wanted to find, the reasons why I didnt were either, too many muggles around or I ran out of time. So, I will at some point return to find these caches. As for the day, I enjoyed day out and visiting places I have never been to or has been a long time since my last visit. TB visit. I would like to thank all COs of the caches I found and for allowing them to bring the Geocaching enjoyment. TFTCs! I'm finally in Holbrook and I spent a few hours caching around the area as well as having lunch. This was one of the caches I found here. This one was a quick find at GZ and then I was off to the next cache. TFTC

Nice easy one to finish off the visit to this wonderful town.

On my way home from a fishing trip with some mates, thought I would pop into Holbrook and have a look around. Here I am at the dead centre. All good here. Now onto the next one for the day. TFTC

Found with Geo hubby after staying for a night at Holbrook. baby&Mrs gopher, thank you so much for placing it for everyone to enjoy and highlighting this area. ??

This was a quick find after doing the multi in the nearby cemetery.

Quiet and stony. Many memories here, and some graves had current flowers.
Thanks for the cache

A lovely, sunny spring morning in Holbrook saw us visiting the dead centre of town. Found, signed, returned and then suffered a minor barbed-wire scratch, despite the warning. Thanks baby&Mrs gopher.

#21122. Robmc and I and the geodoggies decided to escape Victoria's grey and drizzly weather and head for NSW's grey and drizzly weather. Today is Day 1 and we found a few caches in Holbrook before making our way to Wagga Wagga for the night.

This one was very obviousl on arrival. We approached from outside the cemetery but yes it is strange the way some graves are so isolated from the main parts of the cemetery. A good sized container and I added my name to the log sheet before we continued on our way.

Thanks baby&Mrs gopher

Quick find by Mrs A while I looked for the other. TFTC Baby andMrsGopher.

Hidden well

A lovely town to visit whilst travelling down the highway. A very quiet area for a cache. Good. TFTC baby&Mrs gopher

A quick find as I was on my way out of the cemetery today whilst doing other caching stuff
Thanks for the cache

Departed southward bound at a reasonable hour on a cool sunny Wednesday morning for a 3 day geocaching adventure. With no hurry to get anywhere and the final destination a 5 or so hour drive away, there was plenty of time to pick off a few convenient caches along the way. Stopped for a quick bite to eat in Gundagai before continuing through to Holbrook, collecting a number of well overdue partially solved hides. On approaching Rutherglen I diverted to some of the surrounding dirt roads for as many previously solved mysteries as I could find. Continued with these until after a glowing sunset sunk below the horizon, when I turned towards town and meandered into the oval campground. Having quickly set up camp I wandered around the site on foot for a few more nearby finds. Dining later under the stars I soon slipped into a comfortable sleeping bag, chatted online with the kids back home then shut my eyes for what turned out to be a decent night's sleep.

Up sooooo early for a dazzling sunrise display and preparation for the day ahead. First up was the Mega Opening Ceremony, mingled with a quick sighting of 'Signal' and a few fellow Canberrans who had also travelled down from the nation's capital. Today was GeoArt Wherigo day, along with a few other randoms caches here and there. It was a marathon effort in the end, 108 Wherigos found and signed, a lunch time event attended, a few surprisingly difficult recently published caches in Cowra, and a whaling virtual from a bridge. Finished off the evening with a crunchy chicken burger at a semi local food establishment. Driving back to Rutherglen I pulled over to chat again with the family, before continuing quickly to the campground and straight to bed.

Woke Friday morning pleasantly surprised to find everything hadn't been washed away. Don't recall the rain stopping at all overnight, but always relaxing when listening and falling asleep to the pitter-pattering of the rain from above. Headed straight out for a quick letterbox circuit and then to hopefully complete the Wherigo Easter series. Plodded away slowly but surely through wind and rain and occasionally sunshine. Passed by the odd cacher and recklessly speeding local here and there, but again the roads were for the most pretty much empty. Noticed the three Wherigo DNFs from yesterday had promptly been replaced by the CO, so happily I diverted back to pick up all three, finishing off the full 154 'Easter 2023' Wherigo series. With a grin of satisfaction and sigh of relief I returned to town to attend the GPS Adventure Maze. Impressive as always, appreciated the hard work in setting this up. Three from fours Australian mazes now successfully negotiated, how far I wonder will they continue to go? Poked around the Gadget Adventure Labs for an hour or so, again catching up with a number familiar faces from home. As the afternoon continued time was starting to press, so said my goodbyes to anyone who listened and after a few more selected caches on the edge of town started my journey home.

Thanks to Geocaching Victoria, cache owners near and far, fellow geocachers, volunteers everywhere and to everyone else involved in this great activity, for without their help none of the above would have been possible.

Any specific details related to this geocache listed at the end of log, whether relative, interesting or not. TNLNSL TFTC

Great cache container. A quick find from the outer today.
Thanks for placing the cache baby&Mrs gopher.

I diverted from the Hume Highway to have a look at the submarine, and grab 2 trads afterwards. Both quickly discovered and logged. TFTC.

'Tis always pleasant strolling through the stones on the way to finding a cache
There are always a few stones that stand out from the rest and delay me stroll
This particular stone didn't stand out due to its remoteness,
and without the nearby cache, I wouldn't have noticed it [:o]

Find # 8319

Replaced where the container should be. All good to go.

TFTC. Quick easy find.

A quick detour to pick up a couple of caches .. had to laugh when I saw this one .. was expecting a more usual type of container and a long search .. good one baby&Mrs gopher.. a favourite point from me

Heading from Geelong and Dandenong, on a return trip to Sydney after spending some QT with my daughter and Granddaughter. But as I was travelling back on my own, I decided that I would need plenty of opportunities to stop and take a breather. I set up a list containing over 50 hides, but fully understanding that unless I was to do this trip over 2 or 3 days, that was never going to happen!
It was time to deviate from the highway to a place I often call in to in my Melbourne trips. So I moved out to the last trad that was in the town. Driving up to the GZ I realised there was once a good hide in a massive stump near here that I almost had to swim to at the time. It’s a shame it’s gone, it was pretty cool. Made my way to the GZ and was surprised at what I saw. Not sure if that was the intention but signed and replaced.

Our last Holbrook find. Since we were in the cemetery doing the multi it made sense to do this trad.
Nice simple find.
Thanks babyandmrsgopher..

Last one on our way into Holbrook from Yass, to have some lunch.
Thanks baby&Mrs gopher.
feathertop and I were later arriving here than originally intended when we left Yass but, were distracted by some innovative Sui_001 caches near Bookham.

Thanks for the cache

On our way to Yea to ride the rail trail. Over Night stop in Holbrook and the home town of my late Grandmother.
It has been many years since I have been to Holbrook, as a child we visited regularly to see the family so this cache was an opportunity to visit the cemetery and find my Aunty's grave.
After some time searching we found her grave and the graves of other relatives.
And eventually the Cache. Thanks For the Cache
