Enjoying this trail so far. Never been out along these roads before. Nice quick find, 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.
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.Not so quick find TFTC
We thought wed explore a few caches on foot, from the campground. Big roos were coming out of their daytime resting places when we got near here. Quick find, now lets attempt another one.
Heading back to my second home in the US on saturday getting some last-minute geocaches in before my 6 week visit is over. Seems like we are finding every second one. Lol. Found and signed
It is a damp area here and showers of rain fell as I worked my way around the circuit.
Many thanks
Many thanks
A quick find but we hung around for a little
Longer with a kangaroo giving us a bit of a welcome and a show. Tftc!

*Found on the 16 Jul 2023 @ 4:31 pm.*
*Cache find # 14856.*
With my day now coming to an end, it was time to head for home but not before finding a few more caches along the way.
I had 2 more from this series to find so I thought I may as well finish off the series, after a little bit of a look around, this one was found.
**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
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.
Another in this trail.
On a roll here.
No DNF's so far.
Some good hides completed.
Signed the log and moved on!

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.
Thanks Lachlan, Sully and Finn for the series cache placements.

*Last Date Day Of February Adventure #10*
SueHut and I are out prowling for caches!
Again, not necessarily hard, but tricky if you're looking in the wrong places. We spent many a fine minute staring at places that were... well... wrong.
Thanks heaps for the cache, Lachlan, Sully and Finn!

This one also took us a bit longer than it should have. Added some trades again for you

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.

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.

hehe these are fun!!!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
After pulling up near the sign and having a quick look around I found the cache. It was good to see that this one was covered over, making it a bit harder to find. The cache and contents are in great condition. My favourite thing here was the old moss covered shed across the road. I love finding places like that. If only I had a camera with me and not just my iPhone. 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.
I have wondered why the family have used this area, my bet is they have family down here!!!
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 receive 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 checked the obvious then a quick search around produced the cache for a Joont [FTF]
Log signed and replaced as found.
Thanks for the Traditional Cache Patogenic
