We had an adventure and found our first Cache it was very exciting, thank you. We left a little something i appreciation.
Another lovely Gippsland afternoon and I stopped by this one on my way home. Found it in a couple of minutes.
Thank-you for the cache.

Another lovely spot in this area. I cleaned out the rubbish from the cache, matches, a battery, cigarette filter, who needs this kind of crap in caches? Left some proper swag.
On my way to Rokeby to do the walk there and saw this on the gps on the way so pulled in for a quick find.
Thanks for the cache

Since moving from New Zealand I have been enjoying the area, exploring and finding caches.
So far I’ve knocked off 4 of the states. VIC, SA, NSW and A.C.T
No two areas are the same here and almost every place I go is stunning. The beauty of caching is that it takes you to so many places you would never usually find.
Thank you to all the cachers out there for hiding and maintaining their caches. Especially to those who put so much effort into creating unique and fun hides.
The caches I’ve found in Australia so far have for the most part all been in great condition. Keep up the good work.

Had to wait for workmen having heir lunch under a tree at the location before I could gather the cache. finally they left so a quick grab, signed the log and away. TFTC Trickytracey
#370. Not too hard. Logged cache at 3:40pm while the dog & I had a wee little break, and we downed a sandwich for lunch. Thanks trickytracey for our break from the drive back to central Victoria, while we headed this way to continue with our weeding planning.
After spending the morning at the Jindivick Market I found that I had some time to spare before meeting a friend for lunch in Warragul so, what do I do - go caching, of course. This one popped up on my phone and looked like a nice easy drive by (at a cemetery, which I love visiting). It took a little longer than it should have but, I blame my unsuitable attire for that.

Nice and quiet here in the dark 19.53 with possum64 maggiewb1 collected a TB possum64 in control
Brought a couple of newbies here today to show them a few easy caches. Unfortunately the cache is missing and there are cans and bottles under the tree implying maybe a bit of a drinking session occurred here. Will remove rubbish and replace again soon
We found this cache today at 11:40am as number 7 of 32 on our Longwarry to Moe Trail. It took about 3 minutes to spot which is a lot considering that there is only one spot to look. Thanks from D & HA B-A.
Peaceful area with little traffic travelling by. The sound of Bellbirds peeping. TFTC

Nice hide out spending time with crank1. Thanks for the cache and greetings from Glenhaven N.S.W
A glance at my chosen GPS device on the way home from work had me taking a quick detour off the freeway, heading to this cache. I must admit, I haven't been through this area much in the last few years.
I remember the area well from Black Saturday, having spent weeks, both as a volunteer firefighter and council worker, responding to fires and helping the local residents recover. Thank you trickytracey for allowing me the chance to stop and reflect.
The stand of native vegetation west of the GZ is a great example of nature doing what it does. There's a few old, burnt, trees and they are being supported by an abundance of young eucalypts, for whom Black Saturday was the beginning of life, rather than the end.

Doug had done this one also but we stopped whilst I found it. Nice quick and easy drive by. Thank for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.
We were starting to experience car problems by the time we got here and after this stop decided to head for home via Warragul, but only got 2km from town and had to call for a tow.
This was a quick easy stop and we logged it and left.
Thanks trickytracey for this cache and placement.

A nice quick find. Love caching at these places, but didn't stop to have a look this time. Dropped a TB. Thanks for the hide.
06/12/2015 - 3.55pm - No. 545 - 7th for the day - with dgfb33. The will to find had pretty well deserted me by this stage after the cooking sun at our dnf so a nice easy find was a good bonus. The wind was quite strong but the clouds had come over so the hot had turned to nearly ok & allowed me to take a stroll through the grounds. The weary travellers were ready to head so this was the last find for the day for us. Nice hide. Thanks for the cache.
On a cache hunting/work avoiding trip accompanied by ceebee2013. TFTC.
I picked up a battery box cover off a device, in this area. If it belongs to a cacher, contact me to arrange for its return.

We stopped by here after visiting the nearby reserve. I have never been totally comfortable around cemeteries but thankful that I didn't need to walk into the place today. Quickly spotted the cache as we approached. TFTC tricktracey.

Yay! Our 2nd cache ever! Took a bit to find as we're still honing our skills but we got there. 
thanks! Now to take the dogs exploring the bush
thanks! Now to take the dogs exploring the bushA quick find while out this way for work. I needed a cache to fill a blank spot on my calendar and this one suited the task. I had to park the truck across the road but the cache was found without any trouble TFTC
I rode to Delegate, nsw, for an Adventure Riders pub night over the weekend, and picked up some caches along the way. This was one of them. Thanks for taking the time to hide this and increase our enjoyment of our hobby.
Crusty.

Found whilst travelling this way back to melbourne from Powelltown. Good hide tftc
Found today whilst on drive to Warragul. I have never veered off the highway here before, and this cache brought me to an area I wouldn't have detoured to, great views of the hills, lovely quiet cemetary. TFTC.
