Got to this one and signed the log just in time before the rain poured down. The inside of the cache is a bit soggy but i managed to sign my name. 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 park and grab.Only one of us had phone coverage Mr Riddell had 3G and that was sufficient on this Occasion. 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.A lot of this series have very wet logs could do with some owner maintenance TFTC
Heading back to my second home in the US on saturday getting some last-minute geocaches in before my 6 week visit is over. Quick find.
The second of the 8 caches that I found on this circuit. Some caches a tad wet but this one dry.
Thanks Lachlan, Sully and Finn
Thanks Lachlan, Sully and Finn
Last one for the day and a wave from a local to boot! Thank you for your efforts in this series!
*Found on the 16 Jul 2023 @ 9:33 am.*
*Cache find # 14835.*
Log is a bit damp.
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.**

Picked up on our way through checking out the backroads of Cape Otway Road. Log was very wet. TFTC
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.
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. Of course the phone signal was pretty much non-existant, so this required a mixture of blind luck, waving phones in the air, and verbal exhortation to whatever supernatural powers might be listening. Of course, on top of this, was the usual "Signal Dance" - "over here" "I got 2 bars over there." "Try on top of that gravel heap." "Look, look, the sign says crest! Stop."

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.
Boy these roads are badly corrugated.
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 #3 for the day

SueHut and I are out prowling for caches!
This one may have been an example of that special breed - the "drive through" cache. We suspected this wasn't its original position, and endeavoured to return it to a spot not visible from the road.
Thanks heaps for the cache, Lachlan, Sully and Finn!

Hid this one a little better for you as it was sitting rather exposed. Added some trades.

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 - at each stop.
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 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 the search started and soon after the cache was located. So with the log signed we continued our journey. Thanks Lachlan, Sully and Finn for the caches
With an idea of what to expect, I made my way to the second cache and found it quite easily. I was glad I didn’t have to stick my hand down the nearby hole in the tree trunk which is what I’d usually be doing! The log book is dry and the cache is in great condition. I am really enjoying the tree theme with these hides. As I was signing the log the truck that had passed me at the bus stop was heading back to wherever it came from. Geez, those trucks fly past! 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.
Simple hides but some will require an adjustment shortly as the hide is not well thought out but that will come with experience.
The cache owners must enjoy takeaways!! Good to see all logs are protected by a plastic bag please reseal after signing log and then write something about your experience.
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.

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.
With spot on coords we were able to make a quick find for a Joint [FTF]
Log signed and replaced as found.
