Well gps was out but might be the weather today- hade a lovely chat with the neighbours as we searched
This one took us longer than it shouldve. The GPS was bouncing around a bit, and just broadening our search area we soon heard the cacher catch call of Here it is! SL TFTC
Full time Nomads, travelling around Australia since 2014. In Shepparton for a few days as we wend our way towards Canberra for the GeoBash. Today we decided to have a lazy day. With a late start, then back to the van for lunch before tootling off and tackling a few more. Mostly less traffic in the CBD due to Sunday but the Harvest festival was definitely drawing a crowd there.

TFTC Zinnia94 [^]TFTC Zinnia94 your cache Sir Ralph that we found today. A great day to do a caching run in and around Shepparton. A reasonable day 10 finds and 3 that we could not locate. A couple of of missteps with the multis but we worked it out. Find Count: 17457
Reperio 14:37Merry Christmas! Today the family and I headed into Shepparton to meet up with more of my family for a buffet style Christmas lunch. Once we had finished, we drove out towards Katandra, and stopped by this one along the way. Cache was found after a brief search.

Found by Mary and David at 12:55. Wonderful research about a UK notable.. Will look forward to more of these revelations. Met you at Cybergran's Event at the Brewery in Shepparton. Will see her in Longreach next week at QOGM. Our first day on the road north. Love Shepparton and the artistic cows. Our thanks to Zinnia94.
Some years ago we had looked for a cache along this road without success. Happy to report that today we were right on the money. SL at 11.48am Left: Christmas pathtag #10,084 TFTC Zinnia94

Cache found with dalerious 
on what turned out to be a wonderful day of caching.
Interesting story. Took tb on another journey.
Thank you Zinnia94 for providing this cache.
Out and about for a day of caching with dalerious and Cybergran V, trying to find enough smilies to earn a souvenir that was on offer
.
We decided that our place for hunting caches would be Echuca, and then off to Rochester
.
Somehow, all of us had just enough unfounds in the region to get us over the line; well, almost. dalerious and I figured out when we got back home that we were a couple short, so the mad dash was on to make the cut off. We ended up getting a huge bonus on a mystery ftf, so that topped off the day nicely.
All the caches we searched for today were found, and were in good condition.

.Last one for the day and a lot learned about Sir Ralph from the cache page. [^] I did often wonder who Verney Road was named after..... but not enough to look it up. 
With all of us chasing the latest souvenir on offer from Geocaching HQ, catnap777 and I took Cybergran V on a day trip to Moama, Echuca and Rochester picking up loose tricks here and there. When we got home, cat' and I realised we were still short of our target, so a quick trip Shapparton way was needed to pick up a couple more caches that we had left for just such an occasion. [^]
We also had the added incentive of a FTF opportunity just a little further down the road.

Waking up at 5am was not my plan for the day

[|)][|)][|)]
However I did start making phone calls at 6am and all up, I spent 3 hours today catching up with geocaching friends[:X][^]
After a Dr's appointment[^][^] in the morning, I had a tad of time to fill in before Rex' appointment to have his nails clipped[^][^] So I decided to find a cache but then led to just one more and just one more
That's 3 of the newcaches around Shepp found now[^]
Last cache for the day as it's almost time to head to Petstock for Rex' nail clipping[^][^]
It was fun here[:X], listening to the cows mooing[:X] and the horse snuffling and stamping[:X]
It was also fun watching Rex just sit down[?][|)] and wait for me to find this cache[?][|)][|)]
I looked here[?] and there[?] and there[?] and here[?] and there[?] and there[?] and finally found it
There!
Road names can be an interesting research project

Attempt #2 and found in only a minute. Left a TB behind to celebrate a frown becoming a smile. TFTC!
It got the better of me, I thought I better go and do another one. Nice quick easy parking grab
Had us actually stumped (no pun intended!). We will have to try again another day
{FTF} @9:23pm.
Did not expect to finish this day with a FTF, but this is where I am. Late start to Good Friday, saw a couple of new caches published….what a week it has been for new caches. After some deliberation, we decided to go for the new addition to the Brownlow Series in Merrigum. Being the experienced FTF hunters that we are sometimes, I decided we had plenty of time to grab a cappuccino for the trip at the best cafe in Rushy, Gus & Ollie’s. Well, in the end we didn’t have time, as about 7 minutes from GZ, the FTF was claimed by jo2022Aus (well done), he turn the rig around and leave that cache for a calendar filler, so we returned home with our tail between our legs. After regrouping at home, I jump in the ute and headed to Rutherglen to attend the Mega. After signing the log book and purchasing some PTs and geocoin, I knocked over a couple stages of various Ad Labs. After the flyby visit to the mega, it was onto Finley to watch my brother in law play football against the Deni Rams. The brother in law played well, kicked a couple of snags in a one point win. Not mucking around I headed for home once the game finished. As I was leaving Finley I checked my emails, and noticed a new cache just north of Shepp. I was hoping Locus Cache was still at the Mega, and jo2022Aus and TBS were out of town or working or preoccupied so I stood a chance. I kept a quiet eye on it as I drove the hour back, and once at GZ, I made a easy park and grab look hard. TFTC Zinnia94.
