Thank you for hosting this geocaching Event! The date of the Event has passed. We automatically archive Events after 30 days (60 days for Mega- and Giga-Events). Attendees can still log archived Events, log trackables, and share their experiences.

I came along with the CO and helped with the event as well as doing some cleaning up.Thanks

Thanks for all that attended. The wetlands looked clean up as soon as you walked around the edge of the wetlands or under the bridges you found rubbish. Many bags were picked up and now that rubbish won't make it in to the waterways.Found with Mogni. The plan this October Long Weekend was to head over to Victoria and host 3 CITO's plus host my first geocaching event, also increase my finds to 20 in at least 5 victorian LGA's. Given that we were caching in the country alot of km's were travelled. The weather was raining on and off all saturday including the night time but by luck all 3 events that day were dry. The first CITO ( and the cache of the trip ) was in Kaniva at the wetlands, the next in CITO was in Dimboola at one of the rest areas, and placing a future challenage cache then slowly making our way to wycheproof canavan park which was our accomadation for the weekend and then up to Mount Wycheproof ( the smallest registered mountain in Australia - at 43metres tall ) for my coffee and sunset event. Sunday started off with a early 630 am CITO in the Mount Wycheproof wetlands reserve ( sorry i did forget about daylight savings when i made the time for the event but it was a dawn and light still ). Now off to swan hill ( which is my least favorite LGA to cache in ) and then a few more LGA's and back to the tent in the dark well past dinner. Then it was slowly heading home via the silo arts works along the way and walpuep and then over the border to pinaroo and home. We went through over a milk crate of spare containers and got 2 and 1/4 garage bags of cans and bottles. Any caches that were found broken/cracked/etc were replaced and any full log books were replaced.

First CITO of a long day. Found some interesting trash. Why do people do that. The place looks much tidier now.I will apologize right now, because everything from here on is here solely for the purpose of padding the word count and winning that one hundred word diamond badge again. Somebody moved the goal posts. So many events to visit. So many events to log. We find them, sign them and replace them.This particular geocache event was found using one of the following GPS enabled devices, Garmin GPSr, Montana 680t, Oregon 650 or Dakota 20 and an Apple iPhone 11 using the marvelous Cachly app. Waypoints and paperless geocaching were downloaded via GSAK 9. Log prepared, checked and submitted using GSAK publish logs macro.Warning, this hobby can be addictive. It can lead to exercise, meeting new people and finding interesting places you might not have known existed otherwise. Beware: you may have fun. Apologies for the generic part of the cache log. We do apologise for the generic logs. Thanks to all the cache owners for placing this cache here for our enjoyment.Freddo would like to show my respect and acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the Land, and their continuing connection to it. I wish to pay my respects to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures; and to Elders past, present and emerging.I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Thanks for the event.

5 October 2024 Last here but last to leave. Staying in Nhill overnight, catnap777 and I woke with a plan to clean out town of caches before heading to this event to clean out the park of rubbish. We didnt. [8)] We changed our minds and headed back into the little desert where we had so much fun the day before to chase one more DGS cache in the sand. We were a bit late getting to the CITO, but we made it in time to do our bit. [^]TFTEvent sir_spectre.

We picked up rubbish and we met the tritonz. Freddo sir spectre.. delirious and catnap

We got to pick up a bit of rubbish at the end of the wetlands , it seems a habitual person stops here daily and throws there lunch container out the window grrrrr. Thanks sir_spectre for organising the CITO

5 October 2024 10:46 Thank you sir_spectre for providing these events for us to attend way out West.Surprising how much rubbish was collected from the 2 sites.

Both catnap777 and I will see you all there. We have our accomodation booked and looking forward to an "event" full day.

We hope to make it.

Will be there to attend my first CITO. Looking forward to it.

Me and my geo family will attend.

Hi from GZ. WITH 19 finds in West Wimmera, you can imagine how badly I want to attend this event. Sadly I dont think I can make it. Have fun.
