#23185 @1830Day 7 of a 9 day trip: Drive from Canberra to Melbourne, then by air to Flinders Island, Launceston, King Island, and back to Melbourne, then drive back home to Canberra. For the King Island part of the trip, I joined Aquilus1 and sacada. We arrived on King Island in steady heavy rain. Today, we visited the northern and eastern caches. A short wander in the rain, then a quick find once at GZ. I signed our names, but they got smudged when rolling the log back up. A spot it would be good to visit in better weather and spend more time. TFTC.
Cunningly hidden, we managed to find it while admiring the hundred or so swan bobbing out in the river
A little wet, but made the walk down to the cache, easily spotted! Took refuse in the bird hide on the way back.It's been quite a journey, just to get to King, yes, but the many years of trips and travel in the quest to find every cachable LGA in Australia. So, here we are, on King, our last, all found and now sacada, Tikva and myself are spending our time exploring the island and its caches.The weather hasn't shown its gentle side. Instead, we have had wild wet and windy weather. Apt perhaps, that this journey ends memorable, and gives us a little taste of the roaring 40s and bass straight life. A reminder of the islands history, often tragic, so a little wind and rain as we explored, quite mild in the scheme of so much hardship of the past.So, we carried on, as you can only do and found amusement and fun in the craziness of it all. The second day was much more pleasant, a light drizzle later on, and the wind still but compared to the previous day. Quite nice! Scenic, rugged, and wild coastlines, grassy lush fields, and cows lined up in rows to protect from the weather. Wallabies in numbers so high, just lining the roads, it makes you wonder how many there are we can't see. Wild peacocks, turkeys, and pheasants are often seen as well. With our caching complete early on the second day, a little fun. King island dairy for tastings and a little shopping! Very yummy and great prices, too. The KI brewery was next on our list where we had some tastings and a cheese platter to enjoy too.We finished the last day with an event, a celebration to reflect on being the first two to have all cachable LGAs completed, great to share this with milestone with sacada , and great TikvaNZ was there with us. Now the question is, what next?Thanks for your cache!
Off to Tasmania to get Flinders Island LGA and finally the last LGA for AU at King Island. TFTC.Today is the day to get the last LGA in Australia that has a cache. It's been a long trip.A few caches around Launceston and then a flight to King Island, our last LGA.King Island is wet... very wet. It continued to rain and then the wind picked up. Heavy rain and strong winds drenched us for hours. Even managed to get bogged for a while. Still we cached on. What a great day. Now to dry off a bit.Nice quick find.
Thank you took us a while to find it and didn't have a pen lol our firstEver geo catch find yay

Went to the coordinates had a look at what the hint was had a poke around the area. No luck this time.
The weather is just turning really bad but it’s lovely to be in the spot I was really surprised to be the first person to write in the logbook thanks for finding lovely thank you
No luck with this one today. Had a really good look on the obvious spot and around the surrounding area. I'd say it's not here.
It was worth the trip though. A beautiful spot with a terrible history.
