By Jamin Appleford on 01-May-23. Waypoint GCA81F7

Heading to an event in Wangaratta. On the road early, so can make a few finds along the way. A nice quick find. I love discovering the sculpturesLog signed and returned as found

Found on a detour to an event in Wangaratta. Thanks for the hide.

The plan for today was to attend the CITO and then get some caches around Wang. But I got things wrong and the event is tomorrow. So instead I headed to the Warbys for a walk and to collect a few Challenge caches. 13 of the 15 qualified found plus a few other Trads on the loop. Until the end a successful day.Last one on the way home. Enjoyed the sculptures - cache took longer than it should have. For some reason I ignored the GPS and looked too far south. Eventually headed along the structure and found on the way back.TFTC Jamin Appleford

A wet and miserable winter's day, and a certain PE teacher getting bored on school holidays, so let's attempt some park and grabs out Wang way today...Some new caches placed we missed last year on our BIG Lap of OZ, what a fantastic sculpture trail !!!TTFTC Jamin

Another nice quick and easy find while taking a bit of a break on our way to Albury for our overnight stay with our favourite airbnb lady before proceeding to Canberra for the Mega.Its great to see so many more caches around here. Its also good to see that some of the sculptures are using recycled materials too.Its been a lovely still and warm Autumnal day and this time of day is superb!TFTC giving us this lovely experience

After an event in Rutherglen, we decided to make the most of the nice weather and head over to Wang to collect a few a few more kid friendly caches in town. First one for the day nice easy one. TFTC!

This was a quick and easy find at GZ. Took a couple of pics of the lovely sculptures. TFTC Jamin Appleford

Another trip up to the Familly property at Bonnie Doon gave Me a few hours to head over to Wang and find a few caches.This is one of the caches found today. Thanks Jamin Appleford for the cache.

Found on a typical Summer day with MrsRoosta. On our way south with a few days stopover.Thanks for the cache Jamin Appleford, ***Roostaman***

Found on a short Vic trip with Roostaman. Thanks for placing and maintaining all the caches for all of us to find, Jamin Appleford, ***MrsRoosta***

Some impressive sculptures.On our numerous current trips backwards and forwards to Tumut we decided that short breaks in Wangaratta to search for a few caches would be a good way to break the journey.There were some new ones as well as a number we did not have time to look for at the Mega.Always a great place to visit.Thank you for your efforts in creating and maintaining the cache Jamin Appleford.**SKI Pair****

Another cache found on this great day weather wise for caching. Love the detail in the work of both sculptures. TFTC Jamin Appleford

Final cache on my north-west jaunt. Struggled a little to find, but it was pretty darned obvious once I looked in the right place. TFTC.

Found It!A quick find. So many fallen trees around here. Looks like a tornado went through the area...TFTC

#5374 Our final find for 2023 and located after a short search. Another cleverly constructed bit of art along this trail. It is evident the wind roared through here during a recent storm judging by all the tree debris laying about. Happy to report cache and art both survived. TFTC JA.

Almost a dnf here... took 3 sets of eyes & finally found it on the 2nd sweep! No idea why it took soo long . Almost missed the stockman too! Lucky we did a u-turn right in front of it! Big day. Time to head home tftc JA. Ripper sculptures!

Having lived in Wangaratta many years back, it is always great to return for a caching adventure with fellow Victorians Suscoe. What incredible birds.Thanks to Jamin Appleford for hiding caches with interesting themes. 36120

Suscoe had arrived in Wangaratta this afternoon and we decided to head out with our good friends Phetlern to find a few caches.It was a warm afternoon.We enjoyed finding a variety of caches along the roads to the north west of Wangaratta. We were enjoying the sculptures too.Thanks to Jamin Aplleford for this hide.

Nice hide

Nice little find with the kids today. TFTC

Found by Mary and David at 15:55. What a great initiative by the locals. Something to be admired, and it will bring tourists and cachers to the area. Gets a FP. Our thanks to Jamin Appleford.

Out and about with geohusband and geodogs on a lovely sunny day.TFTC

We needed a few things in Wang, so we decided to detour via Detour Road and grab a few caches.
BettyBoo3747 the geodoggies and I checked out the new sculpture trail. Great to see artworks like this.

I was busy looking at the cormorant, and nearly missed the stockman across the road!
Pity you couldn't place the cache in his billy.
Thanks, Robmc.

#20909. A beautiful autumn day and we needed to head to town for a few things so decided to collect some caches whilst we were out and about.

Another great display of the wonderful cormorant and the stockman over the road. Took a little time to track the hide down but our names are now on the log and we continued on our way.

Thanks Jamin Appleford

On my way home from work I thought I would pick this one up. What beautiful statues and art work. A credit to the makers. All good here. TFTC
