The hunt for plastic was too much to bear, so a long trip to the east coast to grab a couple of caches was the order for today.

The only problem with the weather was a forecast of 23 degrees, so quite warm for longish walks.

Set the alarm for an early start, leaving home just after 6am.

Once again, as soon as my hat and boots were on,  Murder(the younger of the two canine family....4 yo) was getting pretty excited and ready to make a beeline for the door in readiness for any walks or geofourby trips that might be on offer.

My eldest canine...Sirius...is now too old(16y 10m) to leave the comfort of his bed in front of the wood heater...which has an electric blanket of course(which he just loves and is great for his arthritis), though with the current summer weather it is hardly needed.

Having walked 100's of km's with me geocaching over the years up numerous mountains, bush walking along many trails plus along vast stretches of beaches etc while geocaching, he has certainly earned his rest..an amazing companion who never gave up no matter how hard it got for him...a truly remarkeable and treasured companion.

The first GCA cache on our travels,  "The Royal George coach" was along the Old Coach Road running between Avoca and Apslawn on the east coast, which is a lovely drive.

Nearing gz a suitable parking spot was found and after a short search, a well hidden cache was found. The cache and contents are all good.Many thanks for the cache  nutwood33 and for placing and maintaining the cache for us all to enjoy. A nice drive through this neck of the woods and a road I haven't travelled for many years.

The next cache was a trig beacon...."Long Point ST203" up along the east coast near Seymour.The beacon is almost obscured by trees, but the vanes can be clearly seen from the road side. A nice drive in another place I've never been. After field checking the cache and much map perusal a FTF is claimed.Tftc...cheers ST.
