Eucy drive 29 St Arnaud, Victoria, Australia
By TeamStArnaud on 04-May-23. Waypoint GCA86VE

In St Arnaud for a couple of days, out this morning for some caches on the travel to Eucy drive and others along the way. TFTC

On our last full day in St Arnaud the roads have dried out a bit after the rain a couple of days ago so out into the bush we go to try to clean up some more of this trail. We found 30 and missed one, the rest will have to wait until the next time we're in the area. We really enjoy caching the bush so thank you for all the work that's gone into setting up and maintaining these caches

On the trail of chasing Eucy caches we started at #1 in a familiar bush land to work our way through the series until it was time to head home.The weather has been kind to us so far as we weave our way around the tracks which are in good condition, enjoying our bush experience. Unfortunately we didnt smell the eucalyptus on this occasion.Nice and close to the track.Thanks TeamStArnaud for the placement.

Finished of the Eucy drive trail this morning starting at "The Last 1" and finishing at No 70, all were found reasonably quicklyTFTPT

Another nice cache in good condition and a quick find. My phone coverage got pretty patchy here so i waited till i got to the end of the series to log this one, Im sorry for the generic log. I have had a terrific morning finding the whole Eucy Drive series with no DNFs. I walked some sections and drove others so the geopooch and i are both satisfied with our morning workout. Often i cache midweek and it is a little unusual for me to cache for a whole weekend so I decided to head off this weekend for two days of caching fun. As it turned out i was able to get away latish on Friday afternoon so it will be more like two and a half days, yippee! I have been itching to get back over to St Arnaud and to do more of the fantastic series laid out around town and in the surrounding areas. Friday saw me pick up a couple of newish caches near Kooyoora, (Melville Caves), then get started on some cache series to the north east of town. After setting up camp and logging my finds i was early to bed and had a terrific sleep. This morning i set off early to finish the Eucy Drive series and now i am enjoying lunch and logging my mornings work. Eucy drive 29 is find number 3,874 for me. A fun small sized traditional cache I enjoyed finding as one of my caching adventures in Northern Grampians Shire. I am logging this one on Saturday 7 Sept 2024 at 1:02 pm and the weather is Clear Sky 16C 45% 5 m/s . Thanks for placing this cache for the rest of us to enjoy TeamStArnaud.*Found with [Geooh GO](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobiltal.geoohGO)*

Our last day in St Arnaud so we headed out to do a few more trails and collect any extras in between. This trail is basically on the 'back doorstep' of the place we are staying at so we had to see if we could collect it all. tftc#9593

St. Arnaud Day 2Today was the day we decided to complete the Eucy drive.Completed half in the morning, then returned after lunch to complete the seriesSome were easy to find & others took a littlw longer. Avoided the bees.This was a great way to visit the area.Thanks TeamStArnaud for hiding this cache.

Full time Nomads, travelling around Australia since 2014. This is the first time we have been back to St Arnaud since June 2015. Lots of new caches since we were last here. Today the plan was to tackle the Eucy series but with a late start we were pushing to get it all done. Success! Only 4 beestings and a handful of DNF Happy to complete it today before the 37degrees of tomorrow. Such a fun series, loved the drive!TFTC TeamStArnaud [^]

Spending a few days in St Arnaud after caches on my way to the Adelaide Mega on 29th today was the day I allocated to make a start on the Eucy Drive Trail. A pleasant muggle free drive and all caches attempted found except one which will be mentioned. Thank you TeamStArnaud for placing and maintaining these caches which have led to such an enjoyable day.

TFTC TeamStArnaud your cache Eucy drive 29 that we found today as we made our way south for Christmas. Running a little early to arrive in Point Cook, we decided to stop over for a few nights in St Arnaud. Lots of new caches here since our last visit. Thanks to team St Arnaud for adding to our entertainment.Find Count: 17352 .

When we returned home from our 2022 yearly trip away we saw that that the number of caches available to be found in the St Arnaud area had grown substantially. We had planned to come to town many times through the year but there was always something that had us changing our minds. This trip was another of those change of plans trip, if it had gone according to our original plan we would have been in Bendigo.We had the area to ourselves except for one lone South Australian geocacher, it was interesting to see Connor bound out of the bushes 50 odd meters in front of us. The weather was spot on for us, not to hot and not to cold, all the caches are in good condition with co-ords that have done the CO proud. The variety and styles of cache hide was many and kept us guessing where the next one would be. SL TFTC

This series was in of my main targets for this trip to Victoria, a lovely morning in St arnaud with the smell of fresh eucy in the air, I managed to find all the caches 2&7 are quite damp and the rest are fine. Great works on all the effort that has gone into this. I also managed to run into Muff1 who were out on course today as well 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

Many thanks

TFTC! 30 September 2023 2:24:22 pm 6085 A weekend of caching in St Arnaud. A trip back to the camp site, and decided to tackle Eucy drive today, with all found today. Not another car insight or seen all day, no any other people. Enjoyed the cache hides, managed to complete the whole track. We had a lovely lunch Picnic in the afternoon, and completed the ad lab along the way! We took a detour to complete the Australian invention series. We completed on dusk with a lovely sunset!Thanks for the fantastic series! Beautiful blue skies and great landscapes! Sorry for the generic log on this series!

The geomobile was parked at the crossroads,not far from the Eucy distillery,so I could enjoy a stroll in the fresh air to collect 10 caches Easy strollin' through the miniature trees,which rarely exceeded the height of me knees TFTC

This will be a generic log with added notes at the end where appropriate. Out with sorceysal to complete this series in St Arnaud. This was our main aim here. We spent two fukll days having fun driving through the all terrain ucalyptus forests.Really pleased that my car managed all those rocky wash-aways without mishap and that the mosquitoes were not busy or interested in us.We managed to find all of these hides. Some did take a little search but once we knew what to look for it was quickerAll good and thank you for your effort out here TeamStArnaud

On our way to St Arnaud for a couple of days with 6hinemoa2. This was our main reason for coming to St Arnaud and to get a few other smileys as well. Sorry for the generic log but there is way too many for my to do individual. Thanks TeamStArnaud for all your efforts in placing and maintaining these caches for us to turn into smileys.

I enjoyed this series, finding all but one of them.



Thanks to TeamStArnaud for the cache.

Eucy drive! Is it a term in golf or cricket? No a little research told us that most of the 800 described species of eucalypt plants ranging from shrubs to tall trees are native only to Australia. Today, together with Suscoe we had the most amazing drive among the eucalypts. Unless stated otherwise, we found ALL the caches, hidden securely in neatly made containers & in good condition.

Thanks to TeamStArnaud for creating this fabulous series.

Suscoe and Phetlern had arrived St Arnaud early today for a couple of days of caching.
The weather was fine and we enjoyed wandering the area caching and in particular the Eucy Drive.
We were amazed at the rock fill repairs on the washed out sections of the track.
Lots of interesting hides.
Lots of Eucy plants as we travelled about.
Thanks to TeamStArnaud for placing this trail for us to enjoy.
All good at this cache today.

I had been meaning to come back to St Arnaud to ride the Bush Cruse AdLab, and when Suscoe listed an event here is seemed a good opportunity. Having a few extra caches along the way made a day of it.
I had ridden parts of the Eucy drive before, just not all these trails.
An excellent collection of caches, good containers and hides.
A few I walked in circles for, I would like to think ever decreasing circles, but more like random.
Found them all in the end.
A great bike ride on a mild day.
Thanks for the series, Robmc.

We returned to the Eucy Drive series today and in a shorter time than anticipated, we were able to find all 60 remaining caches. This is despite an early hiccup when our low clearance Cerato would not have had sufficient clearance to go across one of the many beds of rocks that have been placed in erosion ruts across some of the roads. We had to find an alternative way to get to the other side to continue the trail.

Unless stated otherwise, the caches were found reasonably quickly and the contents were in good condition.

Thanks TeamStArnaud for this cache and the series set in a very relaxing and historically important area.

An early start to finish off this wonderful trail in the forest before a long drive home I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my few days here taking my time to savour the experience A huge thanks to TeamStArnaud

And so the road meanders northward. The cache hides are becoming more familiar and I am getting better at looking up or down depending on the terrain.
Still only 1 vehicle but constant hum of industry somewhere in the eucalyptus forests.
Many thanks Team St Arnaud

Simple and ground around here.

Today was day 14 of 28 for us.

Another day another cache. This morning we went out in the ute with Geodog Penny on board and found this one. Out Charlton Road then into the bush area where this one was. So many different ways to get to these caches when you know the area and know where you are going.

Geodog Penny is enjoying these daily trips out to the bush areas as she gets to walk around in the bush which she loves doing, sniffing all the different smells there are. Today it was an early morning walk for her in this area.

Spending a couple of days in town to clean up the caches and labs. TFTC

Another run out through the area on what a good a day out. Caches were found ok and once again I enjoyed being in the area, and the neat holding containers.

Thanks TeamStArnaud. A fun series in an interesting location. Look forward to coming back again...

That’s close

Having 4 days off from work so my wife suggested to go geocaching so took her advice and came to St Arnaud for 4 days of cache searching.
Thanks to all the cache owners for placing them.

Completed the Eucy drive series today. Thanks for these caches

**Found whilst in St Arnaud for the day** Out and about with The Crew (The Empire, Rebel Acts and Omegaman). The thing I love about caching is the interesting stories, the extra interest and attention you take when traveling, the sight-seeing, the history, the interests of the individual COs, *the fantastic photo opportunities* and sometimes finding places that even some locals dont know about. I, like most cachers, look for more that a mint tin or a container under a bush. I appreciate the time that most COs take to construct a cache and write up a comprehensive listing and to create an interesting cache. **I love traveling this big land of ours.** I love taking the roads less traveled. I love the diversity of the land, the different scenes in the different seasons, the fresh air, the open plains, the lofty vistas and the magnificent waters. I even enjoy the longer scenic walks although I'm not as young and as fit as I used to be. I love the different coffee shops I find. I enjoy the times I cache with others but I usually cache on my own. Thank you TeamStArnaud for highlighting this area and for adding this cache to my real-life treasure hunt. Appreciate your efforts. Look forward to coming back to the area for the Easter Mega @ Rutherglen in a few weeks.- P*Took*: Nothing*Left*: Nothing**Warning**, this hobby can be addictive. It can lead to learning new things and finding interesting places you might not have known existed otherwise. Cache on! **#18605**(Apologies for the late log

Found by The Empire + H with Snap Happy, omegaman1971 and Rebel Acts.
Teaming up with members of our group on Saturday morning, in St Arnaud - a familiar locale, we were in search of the Eucy Series today... and my 18,000th find... As each cache was discovered and logged, my heart beat with anticipation, eagerly inching closer to the monumental number that lay ahead. The hides in this series were cleverly placed, demanding both keen observation and a touch of ingenuity to uncover their hidden treasures.

Amidst the dust kicked up by our vehicles, we maneuvered through winding trails, traversing the tamed terrain. The scent of eucalyptus permeated the air, while the symphony of wildlife embraced us as if to guide our way. Each cache discovered on this remarkable series added to the tapestry of memories we were weaving together.

And then, amidst the awe-inspiring landscape, it happened—a true geocaching milestone! I unearthed my 18,000th find. A mixture of elation and gratitude flooded my soul, and I couldn't help but share the joy with my geocaching comrades. Their cheers and applause echoed through the bush, marking this special moment in our shared geocaching journey.

The Eucy series had gifted us with a sense of wonder, a reminder of the boundless beauty that awaits us in the Australian bush. The spirit of exploration shall guide us to countless more caches, weaving stories that will continue to ignite our passion for adventure. Thanks for the cache, and the series TeamStArnaud.

Today, our crew embarked on an exciting geocaching adventure in the beautiful town of St Arnaud. Despite the slightly chilling weather, our spirits were high, and we were ready to conquer the caches hidden throughout the area.

Our journey took us through picturesque landscapes and winding trails. Each cache presented its own unique challenge, but we tackled them with enthusiasm and determination. The camaraderie among our crew made the experience even more enjoyable, as laughter echoed through the forest.

With each successful find, our excitement grew. The thrill of discovery, the satisfaction of cracking clever hints, and the joy of signing the logbooks were moments to treasure. We marveled at the ingenuity of cache placements and appreciated the effort put in by the geocaching community.

As the day went on, we couldn't help but be amazed by the hidden gems of St Arnaud. The caches not only led us to stunning viewpoints and secret spots but also provided us with insights into the local history and culture.

Our geocaching journey in St Arnaud came to an end, but the memories we created will last a lifetime. We left the town with a sense of accomplishment and a renewed love for the adventure that geocaching brings.

Until the next expedition, happy caching!

Thanks TeamStArnaud for the cache.

Today, the crew embarked on an exciting geocaching adventure in the beautiful town of St. Arnaud. Despite the slightly chilling weather, our spirits were high, and we were eager to explore and find hidden caches.

The journey began with a quick team meeting at a local café, where we gathered our GPS devices, notepads, and a healthy dose of enthusiasm. Armed with our geocaching skills and a hint of competitive spirit, we set off to uncover the caches scattered throughout the town.

As we continued our quest, we encountered a variety of caches hidden in creative and unexpected locations. Some were tucked away in trees, while others required a bit of a scramble to reach. The diverse terrain of St. Arnaud added an extra layer of adventure to the search.

Throughout the day, laughter echoed through the streets as we navigated the twists and turns of the town, supporting and teasing each other along the way. We shared stories, jokes, and even some friendly banter about who had the sharpest eyes or the quickest reflexes when it came to finding caches. It was truly a joyous experience, creating memories that will last a lifetime.

As the day drew to a close, we gathered at the town's pub for a Parma and sticky date pudding, washed down with a few drinks.

Reflecting on our time in St. Arnaud, we realized that geocaching was more than just finding hidden caches. It was about coming together as a crew, sharing laughter, and creating lasting bonds. We were grateful for the opportunity to explore this charming town and immerse ourselves in the thrill of the hunt.

With tired but content smiles, we marked our names in the logbook, packed up our gear, and bid farewell to St. Arnaud, promising to return for more geocaching adventures in the future. As we drove away, memories of the day's laughter and camaraderie warmed our hearts, reminding us that the real treasure lies not in the physical caches but in the experiences we shared.

Until the next geocaching adventure!


Thanks TeamStArnaud for the cache.

Smell the gum trees.

Is that's why there is no big trees around here.

The eucalyptus oil was valuable, but not so valuable that would replace any trees.

Looked like they cleared all the trees without a care in the world..

Lucky we have State and National Parks.
