Had a really good look first this, but unable to find, still appreciate the cache as the view is impressive. Maintenance may be required after the fires

Searched for a while but had no luck. Wondering if the fire that went through here may be responsible or just my blindness

Previous comments about mozzies are true. You NEED repellant as the mozzies are BAD. Couldn’t find today and needed to hide from mozzies so we ran away!

This morning I was chatting to the CO about a nearby puzzle as googling motorbikes was during me nuts Needed a stretch after ️ up the road and drove to within 220m of this cache.

Driving on sand is not fun. Nor is walking on it Lovely spot here! And a little bit of history.

It took me a few minutes of searching in the obvious places to spot the cleverly camouflaged container It blends in oh so well! Log is all good. Got me wondering if you made two visits up this track, or just happened to have the perfect container in your pocket?

We decided to head back to camp on the road less traveled. This path took us very close to the hide. I looked at Mrs trouble and she looked at me... time to go make our 200 find. As often is the case this cache took us to a beautiful view point we would never otherwise of been too.

Looked all over but not for us today. TFTC.

We're out for an afternoon drive to check out the area and grab some caches. This was the last one on our list before we headed home. We missed the correct turn-off but decided to follow the track until we reached the mudflats anyway and then turned back. All I can say is I'm glad we practiced our sand driving back in February when we were on the other side of Victoria in Little Desert!

Thanks for find #1771

After not having much luck with the fishing at a nearby beach, we thought at least we might be able to get some caches.
Nice view although the water in the lakes is pretty dirty after the recent rains, the mozzies were swarming the car even before I got out. Had the Bushmans in my hand as I dashed to GZ, fortunately the wind was giving the mozzies a hard time so I quickly grabbed the cache container and dashed back to the car to fill it in.
TFTC and bringing me here to a place I have passed many times before.

Gave up after 10 minutes of being eaten alive by mozzies! Could not find it anywhere.

Got chased out by the swarm of mosquito's. Looked like a pair of dancing monkeys.

Itching our way to the next one.
Good luck guys

We were able to drive to within 170 meters then the walk (up hill), his in the usual way meant two things. One looked up one looked down. One was successful! Cache in good condition SL

We had a weekend break in Loch Sport and I was up and about early on a grey Sunday morning to get out and find a few caches before the rest of the family were up. After a few finds further west I was on my way back towards where we were staying in Loch Sport. I still had enough time to divert up here and enjoyed the 4WD tracks to get up to GZ. I must admit it took me a while at this one to pin down my fifth and final find of the morning. Eventually I checked in the right spot and there it was. How did I not notice that earlier? Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables. Thanks for the cache greynomads.

Doghorse fish and bird sitting at Longford no chooks at the moment foxy needing Xmas dinner. While here will try to get a cache or two. This being one of them. Thanks Poiter.h FTC. Not the best track for the motor home what was in its place was out of place when arriving back at the black stuff.

A nice day out with aqau in our new 4x4. Its a long time since I have been to Loch Sport. Its has changed a lot. The sand is for 4WD only but you can walk the last 200 metres.
Thanks Greynomads & Poiter.h

Not sure why the unloved, as access to this cache isn't all that difficult, but as stated previously, the last 200m are very sandy and you'll need to walk it.

A quick find in a familiar type placement, logbook in a few pieces, but OK for now.

Thanks Greynomads & Poiter for the cache placement here.

We seek 'em here ........ was transferred from greynomads to user Poiter.h

The sand is for 4WD only. Walk the last 200metres or so if you are in a 2WD vehicle.

TFTC we were a bit rusty finding this 1

Wow, this one was a bit of an adventure! Upon driving down Trig track the ground started getting sandier and sandier....after getting bogged on a track like this previously I floored it through some suspect patches and pulled far off onto the side of the road and parked the car to complete the cache on foot. I had about 900m to walk so set off, past the bees and through the boggy sand. The walk seemed to take a while then the track split at one point and I went straight when I should have gone right. Never mind, I bush bashed along an old looking walking track for a bit and came out where I was supposed to. Kept walking up hill a bit further and the cache was found in the likely place. Now for the long walk back, and then the most difficult part of this cache....getting back out!
I managed to reverse for a way getting plenty of new scratches from shrubs on my car, perform a 5 point turn, NOT GET BOGGED and find my way back to sweet sweet bitumen. Thank you for the adventure and nice find

Found, drive in very scarey for me. Geo-son with me.

We were out for a lazy, cruisy drive, caching as we went. We heads down the Trig track and got to within 200 meters of gz after following the Apiary track. I got out and surveyed the deeper sand on the corner and although confident the car could handle it, without recovery gear, being on our own and most importantly, no phone coverage, decided to walk the last bit up the hill.
At gz, I discounted the obvious as it was a hot day and I didn't want to search there in case of a resting joey blake. I search all around and went and admir d the Trig point, before returning to the obvious, lifting and dropping it a number of times (to wake up any snakes and let them know I was caching) and found the cache.
On my return to the car and completing a 9 point turn, we went back down the track to the oil and gas line and followed the track up to the top of the hill, whereby we discovered another track that went along the ridge line all the way to gz with minimal sand. So I showed EB99 and EB Nano where the cache was. It was a much easier drive in and out.
Thanks the greynomads for placing this cache so that we could come and find it.

Had some fun driving suzi along this track to GZ no mozzies here today I think all the flies ate them nice hide too... Tftc now off to the other tracks for more fun yippee

Wow what an adventure went down that track with my nan driving her brand new Hyundai I30 stopped at 350 metres and I ran the rest of the way then when I got back the car was literally covered in mozzies

Soo many mosquitos!!! Haha

Found after a fun bumpy 4WD out to GZ. There is a road closure as the previous poster stated but that is not the road used to get to GZ. TFTC:)

Road closed due to a planned burn so did not attemp.

Easy find. Very good description!

2WD? Nope! I don't think so because the sand is nice and soft and deep. We managed to get the 'cruiser up to the GZ without deflating the tyres but I couldn't see a normal 2WD getting up there. Good luck if you want to try (and bring a shovel, sand-mats, etc!). Anyway it's not to far to walk to anyway so using "Shanks' Pony" wouldn't be much of a hardship!

TFTC

Not too difficult to find.

Out with gwd.aussie enjoying the day off with a bit of caching.
Did not chance driving all the way to the GZ walking the last hundred or so metres. After finding cache how could you not take the time to enjoy the view.

Thanks greynomads

Out caching with D@geo on Sunday.

We drove almost to ground zero, but didn't like the look of a sandy corner in the 2wd car.
Lucky we didn't have to walk too far.

This is the 1st cache of the day.
This is my 1296th cache all up.

Thank you for the hide greynomads

A couple of days on the south coast and a few smilies to snare. The Tojo made light work of getting to this one. Thankfully there was enough breeze today to keep the mossies at bay.
Thanks greynomads

Took a few wrong tracks and gave the 4 WD a work out but got there in the end. Nice views and not so nice mossies, quick find and sign and rapid return to car. Tftc

Rusty cache. Parked and walked in with geodog and reneeeccles.

Out with heatherton hunters. Make sure you take the right track. It's no fun walking through the bush in thongs!

Found the cache after tracking through bush with shorts and thongs on. Then found the other car track leading to the cache bollox!!
You live and learn

Off road adventure for the first day of the year. Tftc

Found on our "Making Memories" Tour of Mainland Australia.

Today we made our way to Paradiiise Beach using geocaching as our guide.

We found 11 caches and this was one of them. Drove to GZ. Thanks to all cache owners for placing and maintaining these caches for our enjoyment.

Cache checked today, all is well. The track in has become a little more difficult for soft roaders. A fair bit of ground clearance is needed.

TFTC. Beautiful views. I drive a hatch so it was a steep walk for me! Enjoyed!

Found with a little help of some Geo friends.
The views from here are quite good on a fine weather day.
TFTC

Great views, TFTC!
Agree that people with 2wd to walk last part

Not much trouble for cruiser to get here. Great view off beaten track.

Who knew there was such a good view just off the road? Thanks for bringing us out here, tftc sl

Went for a drive today to do a bit of a kayak fishing trip recce at the Straits up the road at Seacombe....prior to going there a quick detour up to the trigg point. I think Mrs E was trying to bump me off - she gave me the GPS as it was jumping all over the place - had me running in ever increasing circles in the hot bush. When I turned off 'on-road' navigation the little read arrow pointed straight at the cache. The log was signed and the cache replaced. Some interesting fauna in the area - a small lizard who didn't mind being picked up and held for a photo; and a variety of a 'cross' spider.

Thanks for the cache Grey Nomads, TNLN.

Ripper spot bit of fun in a 4WD.
TFTC

Would suggest geocachers with a 2WD walk from the clearing at the pipeline. The track requires some driving through deep sand at times. This place is remote if you get stuck. Cheers

We tried our luck going up this track to find the cache.
The name of the track gave us a clue to where GZ may have been.
Luckly we picked the correct way first time.

What a fantastic view from GZ
Once there it was quickly in hand, TFTC SL


Hint!!! Once you reach the sand pit, turn right up the hill.

Out riding a few trails today I found myself not far from this cache. A little detour had me at GZ. I hadn't been up to this trig point before. Have ridden up lake Reeve back in the early 80s when it was very dry. Wouldn't try it now sure to get bogged. Thanks greynomads for the hunt.

TB "Scrat" visited your cache whilst on his Great Aussie Adventure.

Found it.
I found myself in Lochs Sport for work today so decide I couldn't let a cache go by.
I drove to within 230 metres of GZ and the sand looked to soft for me. So after a short stroll on a beut day I arrived at GZ, It was a quick find, and sign the log.
The mozzies wern't about today, so I didn't need the repellent after all.

TFTC Bill & Diana

Stoped on this one, on my way to Loch Sport. I was surprised how good my work van is on sandy trakes!! How did you find this place graynomads?? fantastc view
Tftc

Yay my FTF. Easy find but didnt stay long as i was getting attacked by a swam of mozzies. Tftc sl
