Replacement ready to hide will get out there asap.

Checked on this one whilst driving past. Disappointed to see it has indeed gone missing, disabling until I can make another one.

After spending a couple of days around Rutherglen, BettyBoo3747 and I have headed across the border. A short loop through towns we don't usually frequent.A nice dry road in today, but our search was unsuccessful.Thanks, Robmc.

After a couple of busy days in Rutherglen Robmc and I headed over the border for some random caching. A loop through the dry countryside on many dusty roads and we managed to round up some of the further away from home caches.Mmmm. had a search in various places here but no luck for us today. A lot of tall grass, thistles, a fallen tree and many places to search. Oh well, another time perhaps.

All fixed up and good to go.

Need to replace seal and logbook will be back in play in a couple days.

Out and about today exploring the area with Geowife and Geodogs, watching out for snakes....Log is wet, missing sealing ring. Time for a cuppa then onto the next one for the day. TFTC

Lovely spot, watch out for snakes!

Back on my way to Corowa for work. Scoped this out before the mega but was too wet for me to access then. Proper vehicle and a quick diversion today though. Wet grass at GZ but quickly found and signed and on my way.
TFTC LLRPP - will get to the island one day

Came along with goingplaces2 to find this cache. Container was located, the log was signed and all was replaced as found. Job done! TFTC.

On a bit of a country tour today with ilook4geo before getting to Corowa and doing some more cache hunting in town as well as around that area. This one was no problem and after both names were added to the log all was put carefully back into place. Loved the decoration on the container. Thank you to LLRPP for placing this cache.

After speaking with CO we realised out GPS was way out. It led us to a recent land slip of fallen logs nearby.

We will head back another day to look in a more obvious spot!

In all our travels we would not have even thought to travel to this location.
(HaHa). In your dreams, these cachers do.

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

Devilish

Brilliant and Clever

I like it

Another one off the list

In Rutherglen for the MEGA. A lovely, little relaxed town. Caching was the same... relaxed & took each day as it came.

Today I cached with GoodLook, TheDame & feathertop and we stamped logs as the Fabulous Randoms to save space.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for the enjoyment of geocachers... like me ??

I was fortunate enough to be invited on a roadtrip from Adelaide to attend the Rutherglen mega. Across the week we cached with many different teams and signed the log various ways, but most often my own team name/ initials, or as Fabulous Randoms. I spent most of our time with GoodLook, LiB and feathertop, but also teamed up with AnyMules, Brisal, micaparamedic and others.

What a beautiful area of the world to explore via the lens of geocaching.

Thank you very much for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

A new day a new adventure, loving caching in the area! Sadly have to work tomorrow so making the most of today. Weather seems to hold and looking better than yesterday.

A real highlight of our day as we drove back to Corowa in NSW country.
Today was another FABULOUS RANDOM road trip. LiB, Goodlook
TheDame and myself joined forces and our logs have been stamped "Fabulous Randoms".
So well hidden that it could easily be missed. Great container and perfect location.
A favourite for all of the above..

A very clever hide which took a minute to find. Great camo. Fav point.

Today was another FABULOUSly RANDOM girls day out. LiB, feathertop, TheDame and myself joined forces and our logs have been stamped "Fabulous Randoms".

We also ran into a number of other teams today whilst out and about. A number of caches were on our hit list and yours was one of them.

Thanks so much for placing and maintaining this cache for us to find.

Will we see you at the Mega in Adelaide on 29 February 2024? Check out GCA1DNA to log your attendance and find out more.

Exploring around Rutherglen with Wicky. She's not great on road trips, so plenty of cache stops to break things up. Thanks for placing this cache!

Cheers

The Drovers, GT37 and I decided to make an assault on the Rutherglen area before we head up to the madness of the Mega. We had a great time caching with them.
This was a must for us as GT37 read the word pathtag. Not to be so we are guessing that there is a log still to come. This took longer to find than it should have but GT37 found it as soon as she fought her way through the chest high grass. Thanks for placing this cache for us to find.

In the Rutherglen area for a weekend of caching.

Caching with Geoturtle37 & Papi4506, picking up a few caches.
We had a fun day in great company.

Many thanks for placing this cache, LLRPP, for us and others to find.

Trying to catch up with some late logs, prior to the Mega, so some travel bugs can get dropped off. Sorry for the generic log.

Found this hide while staying around the area with Happy pants.

Took the easier take in along the river and thankfully it was an easy enough find once at GZ and no snakes were seen.

Thanks LLRPP for placing this cache and doing the maintenance, so we can enjoy finding it.

Plenty of places for snakes to hide out in this area! Glad we decided to come looking for this
cache in the daylight. Tramped down the very high paspalum grass and went searching, keeping our eyes peeled. SL at 12.05pm Left: deer pathtag It was quite an adventure, even in the daylight. The second lot of cachers to visit. The old river red gums are superb and the water way looks very peaceful. #9631 TFTC LLRPP

*FTF* with Mrs Wackyweedo.
Now this was definitely not in our evening plans, but why not as were were relatively close by…(19km as the crow flies…) A few back roads, pit holes and we’d arrived. The grass was taller than Mrs H (well close enough) and waist height for Mrs W!
When we arrived we had discussion of what we thought the cache may involve and we weren’t wrong. We both aren’t fans on snakes and have come across a few in our 12years of caching, all from a safe distance luckily!
Thanks for the cache - not much a view at night but another adventure under our belt to remember. Cheers

***FTF*** gone at 9:50pm with Mrs Haveanez.
This evenings last-minute plan was to head to Chiltern to grab the AdLab so Mrs H could finish the current signal challenge. We completed the AL but were interrupted by this ftf notification before getting to the bonus. Slight detour over the river. Wasn't far, as the Crow flies... but we weren't crows! Several dirt, eroded, flooded tracks later, we arrived near gz only to be greeted with really tall, wet grass! We found a better approach that almost got us bogged! Not ideal on a stormy from Friday evening.

I had very vivid flashbacks of another ftf run with MrsH up at Jingellic on a stormy Friday evening... but that involved a tent! Anyway, only one snake was seen, luckily, and the blank log sheet was signed. Tftc LLRPP. The photo I've attached is of the black snake seen early today completing the Yindyamarra sculpture walk.

We do enjoy a spur of the moment Friday evening adventure! Fav for adding a ftf to our evening.
