Keenes family C 19/10/24 could not write log because it was waterlogged

Today was finally the day that we explored these tracks by bike. We have previously driven the beginning of the track by car but wisely reversed out at the first big pothole. It was fairly muddy today and there werent many campers along the river but many might have left due to the extreme weather forecast for this afternoon. There were some great river views and some fascinating campsites.We found the cache safely tucked away in place.Thanks Jacks crew for an enjoyable cache.

Log is wet so we returned it good hunt with the kiddos

The mega is over but wait there’s more caches to be found!

Out on another adventure with fleabag- and spiffy-

Log signed as SFK to save space

thanks for the placement and fun time

Good opportunity to check out the local camp scene. Tftc

Off to the Mega with Spiffy- and many others. All caches have been presolved in the 14 month lead up and other interesting caches flagged for collection to assist with various challenges or just because they looked fun!

Today was random caching and this was on my to do list as we liked the location.

Thanks to Jacks crew for the fun and the adventure.

Very happy to be heading to another Mega and this year we took leave the day before and after Easter to make it much more relaxing and enjoyable. Have to do that next Mega as well.
Today we were doing the bike trail on the scooters and lastly beginner challenges. All were found safe and sound with no DNFs. Much fun was teaching Kristy to ride the scooter and she did well going through the bush for the challenge caches on it!
Thanks Jacks crew for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

We stopped at the end of the dirt road. Given the current condition of the road we are not going to drive the car through all those pot holes in the rain. Those holes look deep in parts on a 4x4.

My poor RAV4 needed to do a little 4WD to make it to this cache. We actually found the original cache, full of water and not in great condition. Managed to get our signature on the saturated logbook, then it was back to dodging huge potholes and puddles to the road.

Thanks for bringing us here today Jacks crew.

Well it is finally time for The Rutherglen Mega and I was able to take a couple of extra days off work and come up early so I could get the most out of the Easter break.
After 4 big days and evenings the Mega is semi over as it has all been pack up.
A couple of events today as well as a few randoms and also chasing the clues for the FTF series so I can do them after lunch.
I have lost my caching buddy GemmaSistema as she had to head back home so I’m riding solo in this morning.
Day 5 and I’m heading off in all directions but I’m also heading back to Corowa to call in at the Whiskey factory to pay it a visit.
After crossing the bridge back into Victoria I turned down into here to look for this one.
Plenty of water lying around after Fridays rain and I’m guessing this area would have been under water during the floods.
Plenty of people in here camping but the cache is far enough away from them all.
Thanks to the McLookers for replacing it as well.

Thanks Jacks crew TFTC.

In the area attending the Rutherglen Mega event catching up with gwd.aussie, Sharon14 and Mezza74. After spending the morning caching the BBP series cherry picking caches this afternoon to achieve as many types in the day as I can and any other caches that may pop up in between.

A very popular camping location but luckily the cache was far enough away from them all.

Log sheets, if not signed with d@geo signed with the team name gds+m.

Thanks Jacks crew

In the area for the Rutherglen Mega. Teamed up with GWD.aussie, D@geo and Mezza74 to find some caches. Log sheets, if not signed with Sharon14 signed with the team name gds+m , S14. Thanks jack crew

Lots of campers caching on the way to the cache.
After the rain, there was a few muddy parts of the road, to drive though (fun)

To save time and to not take up room on the logs we sometimes signed as GDS+M
Gwd.aussie = G , D@geo = D , Sharon14 = S , and Mezza74 = M
And other times with sign with our normal or shorted caching names.

Thank you for the hide Jacks crew

Found the new cache by McLookers this morning. Nice place. Quite the tent city around here at Easter. Tftc.

On a trip out from the Mega base to find our 1st NSW cache. This area is heaving today - not my idea of RR but obviously is for many. Many thanks for placing & McLookers for re-placing

Saw this cache may not have survived the floods late last year so I was armed with a replacement in case. Sent a message to the CO with maintenance offer. There is no doubt the whole area would have been completely underwater. Left a new container (recently acquired at Rutherglen Mega) and covered it with some natural camo. Message to CO: pls delete my log if you see fit.
Thanks for placing the cache Jacks crew.

No luck today either.

Unfortunately I had no luck finding this one today. Maybe next time

Might have been taken by floods?

Out and about on this Beautiful sunny day catching up on a few caches on the other side. Now onto the next one for the day. TFTC

Yep, it's not hard to dig a hole... beautiful place spoilt by inconsiderate people. Now onto the next one for the day. TFTC

We were able to access this area easier than we thought on a great foggy morning.
Unfortunately the bushmen down here were very unfriendly thinking that they owned the place and that wasn’t the worst of it.
They obviously don’t bring a Porta loo either. They are having a disgusting impact… not even digging a hole! We can not describe the mess we found very close to the cache.
We hid it very well back in its hidey hole so that one of these so called bushmen may not accidentally find it.
The contents were dry. The double container system working well.
We did love this location. It’s just a shame about some idiots.
TFTC

Found with Maccamob.
Unfortunately some nearby muggles decided to use GZ as the facilities !!

While staying at Rutherglen on our fifth day the rain slowed down allowing us to tackle the BBP series. While we were doing this trail we picked up a few caches along the way and this was one of them.

A nice place to visit, some muggles camping by the fast flowing Murry river. Cache and contents were in good condition.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

On my way home from the Victoria Orienteering Champs, I took a detour to grab a few caches with particular attributes to qualify for a challenge cache. Cache easily found. TFTC.

After a little bit of searching we had the cache in hand. Found with Jackez74 and Bucrog52 signed the log as Geo Trio, TFTC

What a great future camping spot we’ve found thanks to Geocaching.
Last nights rain has made a lot of puddles so we parked the car and had a short 100m walk to GZ.
A quick and easy find. TFTC

Quick find with Jackez74 & matho64 signed geotrio TFTC

Out and about with LittleBoss2 around Corowa. Great drive in, wish we were camping. Thanks jacks crew

Visiting Corowa for a couple of days with Bogonghazy. Lovely spot along the river. Thanks Jacks crew for placing the geocache

Found with Diablo1234, A great cache I had a lot of fun with this one. Thanks

Out for a Camping and to have a break. Great area. Out with LucifersLanLord teaching the art of caching. Thanks to the CO for placing the caches.

Corowa - Rutherglen
Today will be our last day caching in Victoria.
We have made our base at Ball Caravan Park Corowa for a few days
Lots of history & wineries in this area. Geocaching has been a wonderful way for us to explore this region.
I was surprised the number of campers enjoying their time along the river bank
Quick find once we reached GZ
Thankyou Jacks crew for placing this cache.

This sure is a nice spot along the river. We passed a few folk fishing as we made our way to GZ.
We’d read the previous finder’s comments and brought along some spares. We tipped the water out of the cache and dried everything out except the logbook is sodden. We left it in place in its open bag (perhaps it’ll dry out eventually) and dropped in a replacement log inside a small sistema.

Thanks for the cache and sharing this spot with us Jacks crew.

A beautiful quiet place to ride. The cache has collected water and the logbook was saturated. Tried to sign but it was more of an indentation than ink. TFTC Jacks crew.

Spending a few days in Corowa , Rutherglen and area catching up on some caches
Beautiful weather for caching
Thanks for the cache Jacks crew

What a awesome camping spot, was not aware of it. Unfortunately log is completely soaked didn't have a replacement on me sorry. Tftc

Suscoe headed out today for a caching trip to the Wahgunyah and Rutherglen area.
It was a brilliant day with delightful sunshine and a mild breeze. We think the highest temperature in the car was 27 degrees during the afternoon.
How good can it get for a May day.
We enjoyed the travels, the variety of locations and the caches.

Thanks to JAcks crew for showing us this area, we enjoyed the quiet wander along the river track. A few campers along the way.

Fltf

Third time coming here and taking this off my list. All my other journeys always had campers within easy viewing distance to the GZ so i wasnt gonna risk getting this one spoilt!!. Thanks for the hide!

Quick park and grab, thanks

Quick grab between showers and hail! Dropped a TB.

Nice bush walk in between rain showers. Tftc

Nice little find!

TFTC very well hidden! Keep looking under.

TFTC out camping near Corowa for a few nights with TonCin. Great area

Quick look today while waiting in the area. Will be back for a better look!

We circled the POI interest here many times, expanding our search and coming back... All 5 of us looked where hubby eventually found it. I even used a torch and still didn't spot it! Tftc in an area I have seen but never ventured off the bridge before.

Spent a couple of minutes looking and then double checked the first place I looked to find it! No pen with me so wasn't able to sign log.

TFTC.

Out caching with geokid#3. Great area that I've never been to before.
Signed log and removed the femine hygiene contents of the cache a placed log in new snaplock bag.

Very happy to drive up from Wangaratta today to find this old timer. Caught a break in the rain and didn’t slip and slide to much in the mud on the drive in. Cache was found quickly and I made my mark on the newish log sheet. Dropped a few TBs off here to continue their travels from.

Great spot here! TFTC

Thanks for a cache whilst in Corowa. SL

TFTC lovely spot on the river. Quick find

Quick find on Father’s Day - fresh log - not certain about the swap with it though- TFTC

Heading off on our long annual holiday, we stopped and found this cache. Liked the area so much we camped the night close by. tftc.

As per previous logs. Needs new log after a more waterproof container. Tfc Lost n co.

A quick and easy find before we headed into town for a look around. Nice part of the river here.

Extremely wet and soggy cache...replaced bag around notepad

Found whilst camping at Granthams bend, cache very soggy and need attention tftc with midaho

Very wet find. Great spot

Found on a lovely warm day. Not too many campers around today. tftc

Camping eith family snd frie

Camping with family friends, Dusty Tribe 24/9/2017

Easy find due to cache being moved by floods. Cache needs to be dried out. All contents very soggy! If I lived closer I'd take it home and do it but it would be ages before I came back this way to return it. TFTC.

Just a quick visit

Found it
Not bad for a non- 4wd!!! Small car front wheel drive, normally gets called "the pregnant rollerskate!!"
A bit muddy and slippery, but we made it!!!
Five out of five finds, now we need to get out before it rains!!!
AnsMisty

Had a few visitors for this one!! AnsMisty

Came for a Visit. AnsMisty

1st for the day.....and its my birthday. What a beautiful day it is out on my morning walk. I have seen a few fauna species and a few majestic old trees. Tyftc.

PU Lonesome Pinecone TB. TFTC

Great Camping Savage. Lots of muggles left TB Larry the Lonesome Pinecone.

River is very low and the tracks are quite rutted. Lucky I was walking. Some insects came out as I disturbed the cache...possibly native bees.

Lovely first find for the day. Quick find and enjoyable view. Tftc.

Nach etwas längeren such aktion doch noch gefunden TFTC

A tag along in this one with Teamthommo. TFTC

I haven't been down here for years, I remember when this track went for miles and miles towards Goramadda. A great location I love seeing all the Red Gums and their contorted ways of growing
Thumbs up to the CO for the location.
TFTC SL took some memories left some footprints TBV *we left Louie (?) out to stretch his legs from the cache and realised he was holding a blunderbuss so now it looks like he is hunting! Oh and we thought the satellite image for the cache area was cool with the speedboats captured on the river

We did enjoy our drive to find this well hidden cache - had short stroll to GZ. Lovely forest on this beautiful still morning with the sun out and plenty of birds enjoying the day too. Parked the geomobile and enjoyed a lovely walk along the river - so many amazingly huge gum trees!
TFTC Jacks crew and for bringing us here as is did give us a lot of pleasure.

Found on good friday, there were allot of campers in the area but none too close to GZ. Tftc.

A lot of stealth was required on the long weekend but we eventually retrieved and log duties were completed with geofriends

TFTC!
Found with Shellumbus and RedLeader&Fox2.

Still well hidden, great spot, very tempting for a dip to cool down on a hot day. TFTC

Nice easy find on our favorite river we can even see our caravan park across the Murray thank you

#1195 17th of 25 found today as we enjoyed a relaxing day driving around the countryside north of home. We spotted a few muggles dispersed through the bush either camping, fishing or swimming but gz was all clear. After a short search we came up with the well hidden cache - thanks Jacks crew for bringing us here.

Quick easy find with the little cachers. Beautiful by bike.

[:(!] Went for a drive with the geowife for a couple hours, picking up a few caches along the way and this was one of them, parked the geoKa as close as possible to GZ and walked in from there, on arrival at GZ the cache was located and it was in hand in a matter of minutes.

I like it

Another one of the list

Came out of this one with bike tyres three times as wide as when I went in. TFTC

Found with baby&Mrs gopher on our long weekend in Corowa.
What a delightful spot.
Lots of campers on the riverbank this weekend
Locations like this are 'the icing on the cake' of Geocaching with the locals hosting us anonymously to their favourite spots.

Enjoyed a play on the rope swing on the track in. A lovely camp spot. Tftc

Had a great drive in here down all the little tracks! Excellent spot, even the cows thought so! Cache sitting in the open, hid a little better where the hint says. Thanks.

Out in the area enjoying a nice Sunday drive and grabbing a few caches with visiting Geo family. The geo kids enjoyed this area and we will have to return to camp sometime. Thanks for bringing us here Jacks crew & TFTC.

My humble apologies for the late log...
Travelling from Coffs Harbour to Melbourne with a few night stopover in Wodonga along the way... After living away from home for 6 months, I have managed to find all my caching associated paperwork / notes & photo's so I can (finally) log all my finds...

My sincerest thanks to all the cache owners for their hides & all the effort gone into them & I'm sorry for the generic log... I have seen many beautiful area's that I would not of seen or experience if not for your hides...
Managed to find this one with my geo-family (Happy Feet) on the way around Corowa today...
- P

Only a couple of large groups camped here today. Fortunately they were both far enough away that we could make the find without being disturbed. An excellent spot that we haven't been but we have added to our list of places to camp in the future.
TFTC.

In the area working today so i thought i better go get a couple of caches !! Geez the rivers low hopefully the fish are biting!!
