A quick find today after a beautiful outing to the Ruby CFA open day. The kids had an absolute blast. Sausage sizzle, dress ups, cakes and slices, pressing all the buttons in the fire truck, the highlight was getting to squirt the firehose!! Super exciting!!!

Great views of two of the four reservoirs - Reservoir #1 known as the Western Reservoir (to the south west) and Reservoir #2 Hyland Reservoir (to the south) with reservoirs 3 & 4 out of site beyond # 2. Apparently access is restricted to members of the Leongatha Angling Club only, or so the information posted by the Victorian Fisheries Authority says.

Great hide Beautiful spot for a picnic lunch

Co-ords spot on. Great hide. Not much of a view today with the dismal drizzle. Sad that not all those that visit take care of it judging by the amount of rubbish, clothing, car parts and toilet paper left behind

Today we explored Korumburra and surrounds using Geocaching as a guide and picking up a few caches on the way and this was one of them. An easy find. Had lunch here, great views of both dams.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Just as well the paper is waterproof because it was wet but not sodden and was easy to write on. Fantastic views of both dams. Perfect weather for late autumn.

When we turned up
A traveler using a two wheeled motor type of transport
was resting and looking over the great view near the cache.

We talked for a while and then the bike rider moved on.

Back in the area to find some more cache.
Out caching with D@geo and sqau

Thank you for the hide know-mads

Out on a caching day with gwd.aussie and sqau.
There was a motorbike rider at gz taking in the views so we had a bit of a wait but the view was worth taking a break from caching. That is what I love about caching it takes to you beautiful location such as this that you would never normally get to.

Thanks know-mads

I just love it when I get to explore new and wonderful places while on a geocaching journey. I had not been out to this cache because whenever I was in the area, it was just too far out of my range so had left it. Finally today I had some time up my sleeve after dropping geoson off at a party in Poowong so thought I would get this one and another along the way. I never new these dans existed and I also never knew what a beautiful piece of the world this is. The views are amazing, and even more surprisingly, the roads are in great condition and tar not dirt, which always makes the drive more pleasant. Thanks so much for giving me an excuse to come to this beautiful part of the world.

On a run through the hills with ceebee2013. Some very prickly thistles have taken up residence in the vicinity. There was water in the container and the log was wet, with rusted staples. I dried things, replaced staples and added a zip-top bag for log. TFTC.

23/01/2015 - 4.45pm - Cache No. 323 - 6th for the day - with dgfb33. Prickles pestered my ankles till I changed to long legged outer wear. Dgfb33 eventually found cache but I didn't hear him mention it so kept looking till I decided to see what he was up to at the nearby table... he was drying things out a bit.. Oh well, I managed to gave the greenery a bit of a squashery as punishment for prickling me Wink View had changed a little since I was at this location last on a trip back from Warragul with my son before I was a Geocacher, quite a lot of trees had been felled round one of the water features in the valley. I ignored that where possible & enjoyed the views again. TFTC

We're on our regular Wednesday caching outing and this is our third find of the day. Our travels are gradually getting further afield with more driving and less walking. With geocaching leading to views like this though there is no doubt its a great hobby. TFTC.

A beautiful view of this small but picturesque dam. Great camo, but unfortunately with all the heavy rain lately some has still managed to seep in. It looks waterproof, but still it must have struggled lately. TNLN TFTC!
