SideTracked find 339A quick find, and cache and log are good. Neat hide. A heads up (you might know already); there is a fenced off area for John Holland next to this, and some barricading around this area, likely for vehicles. There was only one parked vehicle here today, and the cache is still assessable. TFTC TreeTrio.
It took a systemmatic search before we located this cache - the longish grass slowed us down. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks TreeTrio for the cache,
Found with PapaGrouch after spending the night nearby. Before leaving the area we targeted three of the SideTracked series, this was the last we found. I quickly spotted the cache, and PapaGrouch distracted the nearby muggle workman by tripping over some wire. TFTC
Found by The Empire + HAs we left Kilmore and continued our journey, we passed through the small town of Broadford. The town had a relaxed, rural charm, with its wide streets and a backdrop of rolling hills. Though we didnt stop for long, Broadfords tranquil atmosphere made the drive enjoyable. We admired the surrounding countryside, dotted with farms and grazing livestock, before continuing on the road towards our destination in Bright. Thanks for the cache TreeTrio, another SideTracked cache off the list.-M
Super quick find while finishing off the last of the Broadford caches. TFTC!
Lovely old wooden structure. We managed to park up just as a train was going by. *The generic bit*We took our new geo-vehicle on an overnight trip and did some caching on the way home. Although the weather was a bit cold and miserable to start with, once the sun cam out it was a pleasant day for a drive. We found a good assortment of caches, completed a few adventure labs and learnt a thing or two along the way. Thanks to all the COs for placing and maintaining the caches.
This was our first stop at Broadford and it was pretty easy to see where the hide would be as soon as we pulled up and after a bit of a hunt around GZ the cache was soon found! I like a good sized cache that I can add a few swaps to which is just what I did! TFTC!!
With dot558 on a pleasant geocache tour of Broadford with clouds threatening over headBeen a great dayThanks for the caches
Another sidetrack cache got! Wasnt here last time I was in broadford. Thank you for placing this one
Well after my two weeks away to Tasmania, then to SA for the Leap Year Mega then a couple of weeks at home then off to Canberra for the OZ Mega. It's back to streak time again.Im now back at home so it is back to suburban or rural caches after work to try and beat my last streak of 67.It is just a personal challenge that Im working on.So it is now decision time to either take a small detour on the way home or a larger detour on the way home to find a cache to keep this going.So todays detour is up the Hume to this one.With a bit of rain then showers on the way up it was not too bad.Found somewhere to park and I soon found, signed and returned the cache.Thanks TreeTrio TFTC.
Found at 1:47 PM GAFF1.I found out at the Canberra Event that "SideTracked" was a thing, however I thought it had to be a siding?Found the cache pretty much straight away as the D/T suggested.Thanks for the history of the rail system around here. Interesting that the railway went through here about the time that the Glenrowan siege took place.Thanks to TreeTrio
Quick park and grab . Signed as Alis for Alansee and myself.Thanks for the cache TreeTrio
Found by Mary and David at 15:00. We'll have to stop finding soon or we'll never get to our Motel tonight. You have given us so much entertainment today. Our thanks to TreeTrio.

Just chasing SideTracked's, oh, and some windmill clues for my Canberra Mega trip so I finished up going Croydon, Montmorency, Epping, Wallan and on and on and Tallarook and Euroa and home again

This trip has shown us so many new and interesting places as weve chased LGAs, oldies, challenges, interesting D/T combinations, rarer cache types and favourites.Meeting up with friends old and new along the way, we sometimes cached together and sometimes alone but always had a great time. Today we made our way across from Avoca to Broadford, stopping at anything that caught our eye along the way. These turned out to be all wonderful caches. After setting up camp in Broadford, we walked through town collecting any caches we passed along the way.Thanks to the CO for placing and maintaining this cache and adding to our enjoyment.
On my way back from Kilmore, I got sidetracked here. The almost muggle free opportunity was too good not to pass up, so I quickly found the prize signed it and returned it to is resting place as quickly as I could. TFTC TreeTrio
This was our third sidetracked cache for the day, which was found with ilook4geo. It was a quick find at a quiet time of the day. Thanks for this cache as well go to TreeTrio.
This was the last sidetracked cache for the day, found together with goingplaces2. Signed the log and replaced all as found. TFTC.
A stop to break up our journey home. Lunch at the pub across the road and of course a cache to find!!Not a soul about today, so this was a quick and easy grab, sign and replace.
Love finding these random SideTracked caches at country railway Stations. All very quiet on this Friday afternoon, so searching was easy. SL at 2.08pm A good sized cache container but no sign of the pathtag. TNLN. #10,714 TFTC TreeTrio

Parking couldn't have been much closer. And another quick find by yours truly.Thanks, TreeTrio.SideTracked #97#8145
A SideTracked day along the Hume Highway with nirgalagrin. We drove out almost to Seymour and cached our way back into the city.Managed to snap a pic of the outbound train near this one.

That was a nice and easy find.Quiet around here on a Friday night on the longest day in the year. In fact its a glorious evening. The sun is still shining and now we are headed for Tallarook and there is hardly any traffic on the road . 3 days to Christmas.TFTC
