Lovely rest stop with all essentials for the weary traveller including this cache. Thanks ChooknChunk

Melbourne weather! Hot one day, raining the next. A quick change of route avoided the worst of the rain and put me on track for a FTF later in the day.You take the low road, I'll take the high road, either way the cache will be reached.Thanks for the cache chooknchunk.

Find 596 on 22 November 2024Great and quick find. The building people were doing work but not around so I got a sneaky photo of me in the scooper thingyTFTC chooknchunk

Find 5346 on November 22, 2024 Found on our way to Portland. Found an odd creature in a bucket nearby. All is well with the cache. TFTC chooknchunk

Took the time to walk the path and watch the swans in the lake. Pretty area and nice facilities. TFTC

Nice little areaTFTC

Find No. 4816. Found with FUF009 at 10.45am.A day spent down Skipton, Linton and Smythesdale way finding the caches and doing the three Ad Labs as we went.We also aimed to find the ones on the Rail Trail that were not there last time we done it on our pushbikes. Only difference is - today we are walking them as we left the bikes at home.Went in the van and FUF009 came with us.Finished the Ad Lab, then it was out to Jubilee Lake to find us a cache and have a well earned cuppa and eats in the sheltered area. TFTC chooknchunk

Cute little spot

Travelling through Skipton today caching in the Western part of the state. Lovely area by the lake. TFTC

Tftc Found

All was quiet when we arrived at this location as we made our way from Geelong to Adelaide via a rambling route. Accurate coordinates and a familiar style of hide led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks chookchunk for the cache.

Tftcspent night here van rocked like crazy- weather wild!

A nice quick find on a cold blustery day. Tftc

Geo dog found it lol thanks guys

Found it on the way home from Balmoral

Last for the day. TNLS TFTC

Another quick log as we marauded around town. The three dogs close by must have been lonely, judging by the racket they made when we turned up. TFTC

I found this geocache during a recent trip, however, for sme reason my log didn't automatically upload from my GPS as it is programmed to.Thanks for your cache hide and the effort that you put into maintaining it,

Tftc, quick find

Found this one while stopped over for a break on our way to Hall's Gap. A quick find, sign and return was made. Love seeing caches in small towns like these!Find #269TFTC chooknchunk

We finally got off the ferry late and after refuelling at the cheapest station in Geelong we started heading for Ararat. We stopped here for a leg stretch, lunch and a cache as we decided that the main drag to SA was too close to the bushfires. I was wandering around in circles whilst VK7HCH found the cache. Thanks for the find

Quick stop for lunch on our way west for the mega event in Adelaide. Thanks for playing the game.

I remember being a young person playing Tennis an against Skipton a long time ago! Another nice easy find! TFTC!

Geoturtle37 and I weren't aware that there were so many caches that we needed to still find in this area. We have managed to add a smiley to all those that exist at the time of visiting but that doesn't usually last for long. Thanks for placing the cache for all to enjoy.

12/01/2024 3:12:00 PMSkipton was the start of a week long caching trip to get a few that have been on the must do list for way too long and to complete the Ballarat GeoTour before it finishes shortly.Found this one after effecting some emergency roadside repairs to my van nearbyThanks cook and chuck for adding to the game.Find recorded using GCDroid and logged using GSAK

Found It............After finishing lunch it was decided to head up here to tidy up the unfound caches. After pulling up a quick search soon had the cache in hand and with the log signed we continued our journey. Thank chooknchunk for the cache

TFTC! 27 December 2023 6:28:39pm 6609A quick detour to skipton for a cache challenge and made a quick find here!

Although a Dad was nearby instructing his progeny in the finer art of skateboarding, the tennis courts were clear and we could search for this cache unhindered. Checked one spot and then moved over to the other to make the find. TFTC

A few spare days to fill before Christmas so I made the decision to hit the road and go on a road trip from Adelaide to Ballarat. The main purpose of the trip is to tackle the Ballarat Geo Tour before they get archived in February 2024. Day four was spent in the heart of Ballarat tackling some caches and Adventure Labs on the main drag. Then to onto the Eastern side of the lake. In the afternoon I went for an excursion out to Skipton to bag a new LGA. Quick find here. Thanks for the cache chooknchunk.# # #13849 # #

No one was playing here today so was able to find the cache nicely tucked away This week I decided to head to Victoria for a few days to target finishing off the Ballarat Geotour and also find the new series in St Arnaud, anything else was a bonus. I ended up finding a little over 300 caches plus a tonne of ad labs along the way. Thanks for the series

A quick drive by as we head home after a weekend of dancing in Mount Gambier TFTC

Neat area but no time to wander today TFTC

Oops we've done a Gary! Found on our way to the penultimate dental appointment, one of the few times we didn't have the van and weren't in a hurry so we could collect the newies in town.Thanks for the tour and apologies for the late log

Out for a run from Ballarat to Skipton,Beaufort and home again on what was a great day to be out and about.

Next stop and first in Skipton and after parking at the suggested area, it was a quick walk to GZ where the cache was found without issue. Log signed and the I was for another.

Thanks for this one chooknchunk…cache all good.

16:38
Interesting ....... we have never seen the lake so agitated!
Perhaps it was a whisper that not so far away in Ararat a special pre-cache-crawl, gathering of geocachers was planned for the evening.
Fortunately the cache was quietly awaiting visitors.

Thanks to chooknchunk for adding this cache to the gameboard.

Glad to grab a smile before Ballarat thank you

Find # 12931

Headed down Skipton way for some caching, was only planning on a quick trip, but got distracted with a couple of opp shops n a Market, so they chewed onto a fair chunk of time.

Driving around doing the ad lab this was a short detour for the grab. Man it be a hard time finding when tennis is on.


TFTC chooknchunk

Found it! Visiting Hamilton for the weekend and stopped here to stretch our legs. This was a quick find. Cache is in excellent condition. TFTC SL

Found by team Rav TNLN 12:31 19/7/23

Out and about doing what I love. New ones out this way again…… nice I better come back and clean up again tftc

Out for a bit of a road trip, as luck would have it there was a quick cache to find while using the nearby amenities. The lake is pretty this time of year, well it’s pretty at any time of year. Tftc

Great spot
TFTH

Suscoe left home early this morning for a trip to the Western District.
It was a cool day with plenty of cloud and some drizzle at times.
We were amazed by the water sitting in paddocks and along the roadsides.
We enjoyed the countryside and the caching which changed as we headed west with plains, mountains, rivers and green fields.

Thanks to chooknchunk for this hide. a nice break along our journey today.
All quiet on the courts but the local large dogs were giving their vocal chords a huge workout.

We dropped in here this morning, South Australia bound.
Wet overnight but sunny morning.
Cache found scattered and open but all dry.
Replaced as per the hint and lightly covered.
Thanks chooknchunk

I do like a nice easy find TFTC

Great lake, and it was fantastic being led hear by a cache.

Nice and quick find. TFTC

Well, never knew there was a lake here! Raining a little to much to stop and check it out. Thanks for the cache! Would like to do the walk one day.

Found it with hevwalker on our way home from a great longweekend in Ballarat getting the final GeoTour caches and my #5000 find. Also did 10 different cache types in a day, such a satisfying weekend of caching with great caches to find. What a surprise we had when we turned down the road and pulled up to jump out to find the cache. An amazing view was in front of us as we walked around the corner. After alot of scratching about we found the cache. Thanks for bringing us to this beautiful spot and contributing to my caching adventures this weekend. TFTC

scramping & I made our way to Ballarat for the long weekend on a mission to complete the GeoTour, which we accomplished. Today was home time, we collected a few caches along the way.

What a lovely area. I would not have known it was here if not for geocaching. I have driven through Skipton several times but never really stopped to look at the back streets (only Stewart Park really). Though, in October last year we had to make a detour because the Skipton main street was flooded so I may have been past here without realising
The cache was found quickly, but as we were putting it back a family pulled up nearby. I bet they were wondering what we were doing as we emerged from the trees...LOL
Thanks for placing the cache, chooknchuck, for our enjoyment and thanks for catching up with us on Saturday. It was great

December 31, 2022 7:10 PM

Easiest (FTF) I've ever found, being part of the lucky group at this afternoon's event! Thx Chooknchunk ft hide.

Found by Mary and David at 18:05. The 1800 hours notification was received, and the cache was brought back so everyone would be \*FTF \* Can't argue with the majority. Another great release to celebrate the end of 2022. So much fun with the group.. Our thanks to chooknchunk.

Our last find for the afternoon with micaparamdedic before rejoining the event. Thanks chooknchunk, lovely area.

Joint [FTF] part of a group of wonderful friends at an event kindly hosted by the CO's of this cache .

Attending the CO's very nearby event with catnap777, we made the Joint {FTF} as part of the crowd there when this sneaky number was published.
TFTC chooknchunk. This one proved to be our first cache signed in the county of Corangamite. [^]
Looking forward to seeing you all at the CITO next year. [:o)]

Part of the collective FTF for which I did absolutely SFA! In fact I didn't even get out of my chair to sign the log! Appreciate the generosity of the finders. Happy New Year to everyone.

Traveled to Skipton with BettyBoo3747 and the geodoggies for some New Year's Caching,
Collected several multis on the way, and several new caches in town (not to mention a few events).

A very nice thought, a joint [FTF| for the whole event. Goodbye 2022.
Thanks, Robmc.

Found with several dozen other cachers while attending the barbeque.

RoamingHowie and OzHockeyChick’s Epic Road Trip - Day Six: Skipton and Ballarat.

A new cache published while at the event. So we all dashed over to sign the log as joint FTF.

{FTF} Joint with everybody that was there at the event.

Head up this way to help bring in the New Year And after camping in Skipton for the night with Roaming Howie and OzHockeyChick we got up nice and early and headed in to Ballarat to attend an event and a CITO.
Then a bit of fun back in Skipton and of course it would not be New Years Eve if I did not attend a chooknchunk event.
While siting around the event a new cache notification came through about a new cache that has just been published right near us.
Off we went and we soon had all of our names in the logbook.

#20688. On the way to Skipton with Robmc and the geodoggies. Stopped for just a few caches along the way. Weather is warming up again for the New Year I see.

Sitting near the pretty lake when ping , people's phones starting going off. Mass exodus for a mass FTF effort. Amusing. (FTF)

Thanks chooknchunk

{FTF} joint with everyone ??

Christmas is over and Hot Cross Buns are now on sale! It must mean it’s time for a holiday. A little late to the planning for this one as we had been busy working on other things. The concept of a caching trip with OzHockeyChick was born and so here we are on Day 6 of the Epic Road Trip - NYE festivities.

The alert went out as we were all sitting down to enjoy the festivities. Congratulations to everyone!

Thanks chooknchunk for adding this cache to the worldwide collection for us all to enjoy.
