No they aren't, however this one isn't too bad. As a previous finder has mentioned though, the screws have seen better days.
*23/9/17, Found @ 3:49 pm, Find # 7054.*
The event was now over and it was time to slowly make my way to Newlands Arm for the night but there were still caches to be found along the way including this one.
I arrived at this one and the GPSr had me out in the middle of the road but I soon worked out where I needed to be, I then went back to the car for a particular tool but in the end I probably didn't need it as it is obvious that others had not come prepared, the cache was found and the log was signed.
**Thanks to kimmatmoo for placing this cache.**

Found by Mary & David, in company with Alansee, at 1635. Here for today's Event. Of course, the engineer had the necessary tools. Lovely water views, and we were glad of some shade on a very warm afternoon. Our thanks to kimmatmoo.

*This is one of the local caches, we had the opportunity to catch up with, having earned a leave pass after attending swimming lessons with the Grandkids this morning.*
Nano's may well be cool, sadly damage done by disrespectful cachers here, is not giving the geo game a very positive image with the community.
Satellites today had our GZ 10 metres NNW of where we found the cache.
Thanks kimmatmoo for placing caches for everyone's enjoyment.

Found this cache however due to some disrespectful geocachers (who don't carry the required tools) the container/ hide is looking worse for ware.
Very clever hide

I haven't been here for many years and it's certainly my first time doing any geocaching. Found with Tassie expat whilst re-exploring this great area. TFTC
frmen1 & I are exploring the countryside again. He remembers the old road. Gz was 7-8m out on my smartphone and gz has been damaged by those without the right TOTT. And, the fish aren't biting TFTC
On a bike ride along the riverside,
I found this muggle free spot
But where's the cache ??
The clue helped
And fortunately the pushbike comes equipped with a few TOTT's
One came in handy and in the second place I dismantled
I found the cache

I loved this cache . I usually HATE nanos, especially in the bush, but this one was so clever. I was using my phone so was having a bit of trouble finding GZ, but going through past logs proved useful. When I realised where the cache was I went back to the geomobile to grab a handy TOTT and we soon had the cache in hand. Very sneaky and the first of this type I've found, so a fave point for you. TFTC kimmatmoo
On the way home so thought that I should drop in and grab this one. After a look around, I realized where it must be, so selected the correct extraction device and had the blighter in hand. Signed log and replaced carefully. A bit late logging the find though.

Top little spot and we had it all to ourselves which we thought qe might need given the title, however, turned out to be a nice quick find. Tftc
Found this one quickly. Log needs replacing as it is rather full. Enjoyed the meander along the track.
Enjoyed our little detour down here. Lots of cars dotted all the way along the river with people fishing, but we had the actual cache area to ourselves to make the find. Spotted it after a short search, and glad we had the suggested tool in the car. SL and just replacing when a muggle on a 3 wheel bicycle came zooming across the bridge scaring the jeepers out of us! Whew that was close! Thanks kimmatmoo.
Loved this one!- muggles fishing but none the wiser. Found with Jaymie and two newbies one of which was my muggy hubby who located this clever cache... philips head was a bonus tftc
Excellent hiding place found on second try, great location brilliant for a stroll
After 3days of searching realisation 1 coordinates are out s reads 03753.276 E is 14740.026. Brilliant part of East Gippsland if into fishing take a rod too. Looking for this cache was difficult but very peaceful especially watching the Pelicans landing Thanks for the hide
For some unknown reason this cache slipped passed me. Well not today had to go find a cache for my souvenir so had a look at last night and found this one And into the bargin it is my 500th. So yippee thanks heaps Kim loved this one very clever. hope you and your family are well cheers Lisa
In Bairnsdale for the weekend visiting lagavullin3 and we had some time to hunt a few caches and this was next. Parked right at GZ and started the search and after a bit of a hunt the cache was in hand. Thanks to kimmatmoo for this one - and apologies for the late log.
A very nice stroll along the water's edge in an area we probab;y wouldn't have found ourselves.. Geocaching takes you to some beautiful spots. TFTC
Awesome spot came down to take some photos of the area and found this one while here, TFTC
Didn't even need a tool to access this one! Someone had pulled the cover back, reattached as best I could. Cache itself in good condition. Tftc!
Came back for this sneaky cache due to the first day being a nice fishing day with lots of muggles but worth the wait nice little find
Lucky we had our Geo-mobile with us or we would've never found it. Definitely one our favorites. Sneaky hide. TFTC
Nice walk on a hot day. Revisiting my childhood vacation spots. A lot has changed. T4TC
A lovely walk on this hot day at Eagle Point with Walkaboutlost. This area brings back many memories from my childhood in the 60's when my father brought the family here for our Xmas holidays. TFTC
So well hidden. No muggles in sight as it is a miserable rainy day (all the better filor caching it seems!).
Signed log and carefully returned to hiding spot. TFTC

Found with aburkitt whilst visiting family in Paynesville. A nice area I'd never seen before. tftc
Yewww this one had us looking for ages but once found old mate phillip helped us out and we logged our find then off for more geocaching. Tftc
Frustration. Two very slow muggles with bikes assembled a trailer - for their dog- and while they were messing about, fishing muggles arrived. Waited until the coast was clear to attack public property. Love unusual hides and this was very satisfying to find. Thanks for the experience.
Waited for numerous muggles with dogs and fishing lines, the coast was clear and we could find the cache. Very creative and interesting. Thank you.
Quick find with Justjessie and Debandian on a wet mornings caching around Bairnsdale.
Easily found but accessing was more challenging as we didn't bring the correct tool. Geocaching virgin Hillbilly8257 sprinted back to the car and the cache was soon in hand. TFTC
Quiet das along the river, but a muggle was just next to the cache.
Thanx anyways

This one took us a little while to find. GZ seemed to be in the middle of the car park and a nearby muggle didn't make life any easier. Eventual Mrs Jacko resorted to the clue while i struck up a conversation with the muggle. When i finished chatting to the muggle we retreated to the car where Mrs Jacko told me she had the log signed and explained the hide.

Decided it was time to find this one seeing we live just up the hill. Spotted it a week ago but didn't have the right tools, brought the right tools while out for a walk today and crossed it off.

Found a few days ago didnt log it but wow what a great cache had to take cover behind illytigs car as there were muggle fishing felt so dodgy but what a rush haha didnt get seen couldn't believe it had fun with this one tftc
Our first Nano. Lucky Poppy has more tools than you can poke a stick at!!!! Beautiful spot. Wish we could camp on other side of the bridge! TFTC
We found this cache but only because we'd been to HOHOHO and taken a present which turned out to be a 5-in-1 multi-tool that helped up find the cache. We nearly gave up but someone thought to open the present to see if it might be handy. Sure was!
No way we could've gotten at this cache without a tool we found at the previous cache!

I was in Bairnsdale for work so on my lunch break decided to grab a cache or two.
I used to come fishing here quite bit.
I liked the cache hide.

Very easy find because we have one over our way similar. It's a careful operation with this one not to bend it. There are already some marks showing that consideration has not been taken when retrieving the cache. May need maintaining soon. The log book is also almost full. TFTC
Easy find. Geocachers need to return the caches to their original condition and not damage them in their haste to retrieve the goal, it would have been easy for any muggle to find this cache. I fixed it up the best I could.

Found this morning. Cache hide is starting to get a little bent so it is now quite easy to see

Found while out for a ride on the m/c. It was extremely windy lots of branches and debris flying around probably not the smartest day to pick, might have been better in an armoured car.
There were a couple of muggles fishing close by but the trusty gps makes for a good prop I have made many phone calls on it but some how never seem to get through.
Great hide right in your face but well hidden.

2nd to find. Thanks Kimmatmoo for placing it here and to gwd aussie for leaving some paper to write on
We took the wrong road and finished up walking the 550m to the cache, not to worry, we enjoyed the walk in the rain. GPS devices aren't too happy about overcast skies and tree cover but the Colorado gave us an estimated position with many possible locations for GZ. The trusty SAK was brought into action and the log located and signed.

{*FTF*} at 5.30ish. pm.
I arrived just as the light was disappearing from the sky.
Then the GPS (phone) crashed and as it was restarting, i read he hint.
Found it, just need to go to the car for the special tool.
Open the cache to find no log paper, just a empty cache.
back to the car for some note paper and a head touch.
Sign log, Return cache to its hide.
