A morning walk with the oldest geokid and dog had us here on a new section of he Goldfields Track. It was a quick find and a pleasant walk. Thanks for the fun and adventure.

Lovely puddle to drive through. Lucky we had the 4wd. Quick find by little miss and we did giggle at the panini.

Thanks for the cache. We left a ping pong ball

Been to this spot a few times mushroom picking bet never realised there was a geochache here. TFTC, found with the yandoit boys

Found with Sunsong1 TFTC

We went through the big puddle haha quick find,Thanks for the cache

Day 10 of my interstate trip. Today I left Mount Franklin Reserve making my way north as far as Greens Lake Reserve near Stanhope. I managed to find 11 caches today and 2 DNF's.A slight detour off the main drag for this one.TFTC lorigus74

Nice big puddle

After a bit of a walk around, junior found it, thanks for the cache

Made the short walk into GZ and after a very quick look I spotted the geocamo and had the cache in hand! TFTC!!

Walked around the same spot a number of times before finding it. TFTC!

The tree cover does not help with location! Lovely cache. Thank you.

Quick find. Cache all good. Tftc

They don't all jump out and say here I am and this one certainly didn't.The ETrek hated this one and couldn't cope with the tree cover. After going round and round in circles for a lengthy time I gave up and was heading back to the van when I noticed the one thing I hadn't walked past a zillion times.And there was the cache.Pleased that we finally got a smiley here.Thanks.

On my way towards Ballarat. Not aiming on getting there in a day. Lot's of caches to get.

Wonderful piny smells. CIGC TNLN TFTC StA

After having a great time at the Lucas event in Ballarat this morning we decided to travel home on the road less traveled and try and grab a few caches and ad labs along the way.We are looking forward to one day doing this whole trail but today we had to satisfy ourselves with just doing one as that is all time allows us today.We stopped and wandered off to gz and caching with the phone we had a little bit of trouble with the tree canopy. When the GPS did finally settle the cache was right where it was pointing.We added our name to the log book and then returned everything as it was. Sadly the cache had no gold in it so we didn't find any of that but happily we didn't find any wiggly sticks either so we will call that a win.Thanks again longus74 for the hide.

Quick stop and a short walk before driving into Daylesford.

Good fun

Way too many spiders.TFTC TNLN

TFTC!!

TFTC.

Tftc lorigus74. The wedding last night over and done with, and rest under the belt. Off to Mt Franklin for some early morning solitude but what a surprise when I got there!Nevertheless the hundred or so campers were still snoozing so at least my tramp up and around the old volcano was quiet. Dropped by to pick up this one.Showing 9 m from gz so quite a bit of time wandering around. log in good condition.

Misty rain had just started to fall as we found the cache and hide both doing well thank you

Great spot!

Satisfying find!

Quick find on the way past. Log was signed and I was on my way.

Thanks lorigus74...cache all good.

Nice, quick easy find very interesting Centre mailboxes just a little note please be careful when wrapping up logbook as there is a hole in the bag and place it carefully so it doesn’t get wet

Out and about with Mrs trouble exploring the area. We decided to venture of the highway to make the find. After putting the new caching mobil thru the mud puddle we quickly had the cache in hand. The navigation was slightly out thou my keen eye quickly had the cache in hand despite my phone saying I was 17m off.

love the panini

A stop on my way through Daylesford. TFTC. Crafted letter boxes not far away.

Found on a drizzly day. I was relieved I didn't have to drive through the big puddle west of GZ. Cache is in pretty good condition considering the wet weather. Container had some water in it but I got most of it out. SL. TN. L a pencil. Took some photos of nearby fungi. Thanks for the cache lorigus74. I appreciate your hiding this cache for us to find.

Beautiful mushrooms TFTF

Find # 12470

A Sautrday Caching trip. After other plans were cancelled.

Last cache for my day as darkness has decended and torch is at home.

Using the phone torch ( about as good as 2 candles) I managed to locate this one neatly tucked away in its hide.

That it for today.... I'll have to make another trip this way as there is still more on my map to find.

Find No. 4095. Found at 6.00pm.

Today we had footy at Trentham, so we left early to grab a few caches on the way. Geodog Penny came with us for an outing.

First up we went into a reserve to grab the four caches in there. Made a detour at Franklinford to grab the two caches in that area.

Mrs Tyred n Cranky dropped Mr Tyred n Cranky off at the footy ground in Trentham, then her and Geodog Penny went for a look around the township. After that we drove out to Springhill way to grab two out there. Back into Trentham and done the Adventure Lab before returning to the footy ground to collect Mr. Tyred n Cranky. Then on our way home we made a short detour to grab this cache - our final one for the day as it was now getting dark and the rain had settled in.

Off track find but a quick and great find on our way to Ballarat while on holidays.

Found by Aussie Train Driver 29/12/2022, find number 1641.
Catching up on some really belated logging today. Found this one with the geo-toddler on our way to visit the Chocolate Mill. Quick find on a beautiful summer's day. TFTC!

Yay!! The rain has stopped for a bit which made this a cruisey find. This is the first find of the series for me. I look forward to finding the rest

Thank you

This is our first find! Was really excited to go on a treasure hunt

Plenty of mozzies kept us company on the way to this cache. So many hiding options but we eventually zeroed in on the goods. A fun theme. TFTC

First cache of the day, having done a few in this series now. Nice quick grab after using photo hint from previous finder. Thanks!

We forgot our pen so photo is proof

Your right you do find all sorts of things here. Unfortunately people's discarded rubbish is one of them

Found on way to Daylesford for appointment. Many thanks

Funny how I walk to find a panini in the bush and write my name in it! Funny cache..

Very well hidden. Walked past it a few times

Fun find

Great find, the panini on top of the cache container is very funny! TFTC

Heading to Newstead for some cache maintenance this morning, we took the opportunity to seek this cache out to earn our “International Geocaching Day2022” souvenir.
Once at GZ the obvious signs were spotted so we were able to make a quick find. Signed the log or was it a loaf ? A nicely themed cache.
Thanks lorigus74 for the placement.

Marshall’s Geelong found this cache today,
Quick easy find whilst in Daylesford. Lovely find after visiting the chocolate place up the road. No muggles about.

TFTC Lorigus74 See you soon

Nice easy find in amongst the toadstools. But don’t pick and eat them.

Yes

Another for Jinky and John on our tour of the north (the way back actually!). Honours went to Jinky. Left a geonickel, but declined the local food produce which was all over the place -- see pic TFTC!

Another slice of nourishment in this fun series TFTC lorigus74

Took a while to find but not far from the road

Quick find in a quiet spot. Saw a few autumn fungi in the area too. Mushroom panini anyone?

Loved the bread bin. Travelling from Daylesford to Yandoit and stopped to pick up this one. tftc

Heading home from a drive to escape Melbourne for a few hours.
Took a few minutes - gps jumped around a bit. Read a couple of logs & found it.
TNLN. TFTC

Found it eventually lol 10m off

Just one more on the way home, its hard to drive by a tempting cache, so i added this one to my tally.

Decided to take my 2 girls camping for 4 days and Mt Franklin was the destination and what a great spot it is.
Quick grab on my way home thanks for the cache.

Perfect day for geocaching. We searched the area as I couldn't get the gps any closer than 4m before wavering. Good hide. Nice pines. Thanks

First find testing out my new Garmin. Lovely bush walk after visiting the chocolate factory near by! A nice hide. TFTC!

Found with McAdies and Jelly_Bean14.
I had a great time out here finding these geocaches.
Thanks for hiding this geocache for us to find today.

Found with McAdies and Geo_Eddie.
It was nice to be out finding this geocache today.
Thank You for hiding it for me to find.

Found today while on the way passed. Took a little bit of back and forth as the GPS counted down then back up under the trees but after a bit of looking we spotted a likely hiding spot.
Thanks for the hide here.

Nice spot of bushland

GPS was a little affected by the environment

Nice little hide, found after the GPSr mucked a bit around under the tree cover.
Nice to be out caching on a public holiday!

On the way out we spotted a large white bucket which looked suspiciously like another geocache, but to our disappointment it was just full of water…..too close any rate. What were our geocaching brains thinking!!!!

TFTC which is another themed container, just in time for a late morning tea.

Find #2591 for me. Found at 9:15am with my dog Bonnie while on our way to Ballarat to visit Mum. Well I didn't find any gold here but good coordinates led me straight to the well-stocked cache! Thanks for another very creative cache in this fun series lorigus74!

17:19
A pretzel, biscuits, bread rolls, cake, panini and lastly a Toast! We gathered all the Bread Crumbs on our homeward journey from the Goulburn Valley to the Bellarine. What an amazing series, so well set up and presented, the back roads were familiar to us, it gave the drive a very special flavour.

PS Is there a special treat for being first to complete the series?
Thanks lorigus74 for creating this tasty series.

On my way from Bendigo to Ballarat this afternoon and noticed this one was on our way. I convinced the part time cacher husband to pull over and we made the find. Thanks for placing.

Out and about this morning with Motndarg, we noticed that there was a newly published cache. The rain had stopped so we were on our way. We pulled up near GZ and began our search. Before long we found the well themed cache and we were pleased to find a blank log. {FTF} at 9.15am. Thanks lorigus74, we are really looking forward to finding more in this series. A favourite from me.

Early start today with McLookers hoping for a FTF. A bit foggy but fortunately no rain. Arrived at GZ and soon found the cache which had a blank log - wowee a joint FTF. Thanks lorigus74 for placing, this one has been given a favourite .
