By Patogenic on 28-Aug-22. Waypoint GC9Z40Q

Have finally been able to come do this trail. Had some wooly onlookers wondering what we were doing but that didn't distract too much from our goal. Tftc

What a neat little part of the country this is. A great trail here. Found as I meandered through. Thanks for highlighting an unknown area to me.

A quick find on this quick trail

Thanks

Easy find. Good cache. Tftc

Trail complete! Couldnt find one . A couple might need new log sheets. Thanks for the trail it was a good adventure, might need to come back another time to get the last one.

^-^

Quick stop and grab on this one, thank you for the cachepika 22/1/24

A quick, in your face park and grab.TFTC

Today we headed out from Winchelsea to do our second day on the GOR. We made our way down through Wensleydale and picked up a few trads in tiny little none weatherproof pots. Nice little series.Then on to Anglesea which seemed to be very hipster/surfer vibes and we enjoyed a nice walk around The Wetlands, more caches and ate our packed lunch at one of the murals. Onwards to Aireys Inlet to visit the lighthouse and more caching. Lorne was our last stop on GOC seemed to be a bit more exy here and lots of posh Melbs people here . Back to Winchelsea via Erskine Falls, surprised no cache there and via Bambra area to collect some super cool woodland caches. Ran out of time to do everything we wanted but you can never get them all .Thanks to all the CO for some really great hides and especially to Bushfire we were sad to read of ill health.This was our first find of the day TFTC

Yah!

Another nice, quick find to get us on the road.

No need to search here I could see it without getting out of the geouteTFTC

Quick stop and find.

Heading back to my second home in the US on saturday getting some last-minute geocaches in before my 6 week visit is over. Well we missed 2 in the series but managed to get the rest. Very nice series only 1 made us nervous with so many houses around.

I completed 8 caches on this circuit. Nice to find all caches quickly thanks to good hints and coords. First find here near the button.
Thanks

Second last for the day and a quick find. Has been such a beautiful little tour.

*Found on the 16 Jul 2023 @ 9:29 am.*
*Cache find # 14834.*

Today I headed out to the Otway Forest Park and Paddy's Swamp area for a bit of a tour around on my bike and finding caches as I went.
I was on my way into Tanners Camp Ground and as I was passing by this one, I had to stop for a look, before long, the log was signed and I was on my way.

**Thanks to Patogenic for keeping the game going by placing this cache.**

Day out with sassieold55, picked up on our way through checking out the backroads of Cape Otway Road TFTC

Out and about with Annabella02, and a good day for it ,tftc

Clue is a bit to goof but good find

I have fallen into the “just one more” trap on my day trip and thought that I would give this series a go. Cache and log found in good condition. TFTC.

I was heading back to Lorne from the Mega.

I was meaning to do this trail for some time.

Never got round to it over summer.

Today was the day though.

This was the first and a nice quick find.

Found!

Found it

Sunday, and the calendar is empty ...

After travelling half way to Queenscliff for a Ket Baker croissante and coffee, logic says that heading to Birregurra, more than double the distance in the other direction seems logical.

And Birregurra had a market on, but we made it into the RMH for lunch.

On the way back we worked our way through the Wensleydale Power Trail

SL, TFTC

Sticking closer to home for our caching adventure today we made our way as far as Birregurra, then worked our way towards Torquay seeking out all the unfound caches along the way with only one DNF for the day.
The Wensleydale power trail was next on our agenda, especially as we have been meaning to complete the series for some time. A pleasant hour or so saw us locating each and every cache all in good condition and just as the hints suggested.
The first one on the trail as we work clockwise around Wensleydale. The cache is a little bit exposed so we hope it lasts from some prying muggle.
Thanks Lachlan, Sully and Finn for the series cache placements.

Another quick find, today these are my desired kind. Just some relaxing adventures to clear my frazzled Mind #4 for the day!

Thanks heaps for the cache, Lachlan, Sully and Finn!

Can’t believe this one hasn’t been muffled by people at the bus stop. It’s just sitting there in plain site!!!

After checking the various weather forecasts and commitments for a few days ahead, we decided on a day of caching to the west!
We worked our way around the power trail at a leisurely pace, 4 wheels, not two! - keeping a watch for snakes - the bus stop, a neat place to start.

Thanks to Patogenic for adding this Wensleydale trail to the gameboard.

Got out at these three caches along the road on the way down to Anglesea for the day of caching. A nice walk along the track, but not so good driving, so many corrugations. We found all of the cache with ease and they were all in good condition.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks for placing this geocache here for us to find today, for without those who like to hide geocaches, there would be nothing around for those who like to find geocaches.

What do you do on your birthday? You head out and grab a few caches. When you are nine power trail caches off a Challenge and spot eight caches in a power trail, they become particularly attractive.

So into the Geomobile Joey, we popped Gypsy Girl the Geodog and went off for an early morning cache or nine.

We had a great run to the area, and we downloaded the caches to ensure we would have the coordinates we needed to make the find.

We found all caches in good condition.

Thank you, Lachlan, Sully and Finn, for a neat power trail of Traditional caches.

Found!

Found it easy find

This is the first of the 8 in this series that my grandson and I are attempting to find today. What a beautiful area. TFTC

Found with thomo31. TFTC

Found while caching with teamashy. Signed log and returned as found. TFTC

Last one for the day before heading to my campsite for the night. Found 18 caches today the most amount I've ever found on the same day! Nice day for it.

TFTC Laclan Sally and Finn. Located on the ground. So placed back where we think it should be. TNLN

Found It...........With an afternoon free from work duties, Mrs H_3 decided that we should head out to grab some caches. We elected to grab this series as it was the closest to home with the limited time before dark. After pulling up Mr H_3 spotted something that looked like it needed investigating a bit more and sure enough bingo. So with the log signed we continued our journey. Thanks Lachlan, Sully and Finn for the caches

I was out this way caching yesterday and noticed this power trail nearby but didn’t have enough time to start it. I made my way back here today and started at the bus stop. I had read the cache description about the possible muddy areas and sketchy mobile reception and after having a lot of experience with this in the Otways, downloaded the caches offline, just in case. As luck would have it for once Optus came through with the goods and I had mobile coverage through the whole series.
It didn’t take long to find the cache, it wasn’t in the first place I looked but then I turned around and you couldn’t miss it. It does blend in well. The log book was dry but it might be a good idea to keep an eye on these containers for water logging after a decent rain.
Thanks for putting a power trail down this way, it’s a beautiful area and not too busy. Asides from a truck driving past when I was at the bus stop the road was pretty quiet. TFTC

My very good caching mates the suscoe’s offered me a lift down to this area that even after caching from 2005 I have never driven along some of these roads.
The weather was kind to us by only starting to be light rain on our way back to Winchelsea for a coffee.
Saw these pop up a few days ago but Eddy and Jason were too quick so no rush to come down to check these guys out.
The first thing that I noticed was that they all look the same on a GPS or a phone so I would suggest that the owner place a number at the start of each cache.
Simple hides but some will require an adjustment shortly as the hide is not well thought out but that will come with experience.
The hanging one for instance had fallen out of its holder and was on the ground very close to the large pool.
I don’t know why some folks don’t write something to give the hider an idea if or how they found the cache, maybe just inexperience or plain lazy.
Cache log was dry so all good.

Suscoe decided to head out here (early this afternoon_ to Wensleydale to see what these Power Trail caches were like.
We invited our great mate Bushfire along for the trip. It has been quite a while since we have been able to get out together and we had a delightful time together finding these caches.
The roads were reasonably quite, a tractor with firewood and a couple of cars early on were the only traffic that we encountered. The rain held off until we were heading home, thank goodness.
The caches were found quite quickly with good co-ordinates to guide us.
Bus Stop was found quickly.
Thanks to Lachlan, Sully and Finn for this trail.

I received a message from SimsFamily that there was a few new caches to be found. I couldn’t go until later in the evening.
So we made a time to meet up and head out.
We arrived at GZ and after a quick search the cache was located with a surprising blank log for a joint [FTF]
Log signed and replaced as found.

Thanks for the Traditional Cache Patogenic
