Lemnos Area Shepparton, Victoria, Australia
By Geocaching Australia on 01-Sep-09. Waypoint TP3303

I've been skirting around this town on all of my road trips. I made sure this time to stop and get this tower...and a coffee!

Rated: for Overall Experience

Now how can you miss that one! Right in the middle of town.
We stopped in a 15 minute zone, had a quick walk around the block, grabbed some happy snaps and we were back on our way in no time at all.
A nice TP in the middle of town.

Had to head to Shepparton for the day.

Just my luck today thwe coffee shop was a good spot to photo GZ.

I took a quick snap and moved on.

We've been at the Rutherglen mega, and headed this afternoon to Bendigo, we didn't have alot of time, so prioritised trigs and virtuals, and maybe any *really* cool DTs for the trip. That one was easy to find!

another easy trig

So many road works going on it took numerous detours to get here. TFTT

On my way already to the Parkville event in melbourne. Long drive today with a few detours. Weather is fine, low twenties, dry and not too sunny, almost ideal for driving and caching! Most caches were driveby's to break up the boredom and stretch the legs. Thanks to all the cache owners for putting them out there.

Found while in Shepparton this morning.

We left Wangaratta for Bendigo and picked up a few caches on the way and this was one of them. Luckily we found six parks in a row with the van in tow. Mrs W jumped out and grabbed the shot. TFTT

This is my nearest G A cache and I realised today I’d been saving it for a special occasion, well during the GeosportZ 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games Challenge it would be perfect for the Shooting - Bullseye, nearest Unfound.
Our lofty tower nearly had its head in the clouds today on our very overcast day.
And, if you climb up to the lookout tower, you not only get a view for miles, because the surrounding countryside is so flat, you can also gain te coordinates for a nearby clever GC Multi cache
Thanks for the Trig Point, the name of which is very misleading.

We celebrated my sister's birthday milestone with family and friends at a pub in Wang, and are now off for a much needed Easter break. How better to navigate to the olds' place than caches?

Most of my waypoints were virtual; this was the second before we made the final run to Echuca.

On our way south on our way to Alexandra via Moree, Dubbo, Shepparton, Bendigo, Canberra and then finally Alexandra. Doing as many as we can as I have to drive for three hours from Nannango to find GA hides away from home. As I am literally just cruising past GA hides on the way south taking the opportunity to be choosy for a change. Trying to get close to this tower is very hard as it is in the middle of a lot of buildings and infrastructure. Next one for the trip. TFTC GCA

#GA1982 - 12:15; Day six of a caching mission around western Victoria with Sol de lune and we were now headed for home. The plan for today was to head north through Central Goldfields and on to Castlemaine, Bendigo, Shepparton, Cobram and Yarrawonga before crossing the border into Mulwala and then on to Rand, Lockhart then home. After collecting a few caches around Bendigo, we were on our way north again and took a round about way to Shepparton, where the first stop was for me to snap this rather imposing trig. There was no missing this one, that's for sure! TFTT Geocaching Australia

The communications tower certainly dominates the skyline of Shepparton and is an ideal trip point for the area. Because of its height, the tower is very difficult to photograph and have someone in the image. The photo added to the Gallery shows the tower and Mrs y'stassie at ground level next to two rubbish bins. Thanks for the cache.

Since my new job seems to bring me up this way occasionally I figured that at least one cache each visit is in order.
Today's drop around the corner so a short walk down the main street and here I am.
Not really having the time to climb the dizzying heights, I will leave that adventure for another time.
Quite an impressive structure to be located in the middle of town.
Took a swag of photos and headed back home.

Thanks for the trig.

A long time between trigs. Up here looking at accomodation for my daughter. She spotted it before me.

Found on a wet afternoon in Shepparton, stands out from way back

This one certainly dominates the landscape. Took a bit to juggle the tablet, the GPS and press the camera button. Thanks.

Found on our 2015 footy trip to Melbourne with Sol de Lune. On our way through the main street in the car, I quickly took a photo of this tower. Very nice area. TFTC GCA!

spotted it thanks ☺☺☺

Spotted while passing through on our way home from the Oz Mega event.

Well this trig point is at least easy to see
But to reach the heady heights where it is located at 145.2 metres is only possible if your work for the company next door
I still managed to get half way up the tower though
No safety harness required, thank you
I reckon that is close enough to claim this cache
The view out over town from the dizzying heights half way up the tower are .... of endless rusty rooftops and trees

Visited this one on the way out of town

Managed to get the tower and GPSr in the same shot.

Grabbed this one on the way through town.

Easy find while travelling through town.

Found by PR&F on 10/1/11 @ 1.10pm.
#4 of 5 GC and GCA finds today.
After searching for a GC cache in this immediate area without success, I said to harry_stamper "this must be a trig point" and sure enough it was!
Not a great picture, but it shows I was there all the same.

Photo to come.

Our first trig point and I didn't read the rules, didn't take a photo. Will have to log find later. Silly me ...

It's not very often I get to Shepp but did have a chance this morning after a quick trip to pick up some new shelving for work.
The street was quiet as this time of day so I could wander around with the camera without being looking too out of place.

On our annual pilgrimage to the Snow - an opportunity to grab some new caches.

Bit hard not to miss that one.

Quick visit and took some photos. Thanks.

Found by The Empire, Sunday 25th April, 2010 @ 10am with tackle_head.
tackle_head is 'not playing this game' so he took the pic of me infront of the cool tower - little does he know that this looks like another FTF for The Empire!
