I won't be replacing this cache, might place another close by in the coming weeks.
Had lunch at the boat ramp hoping to watch a boat or two. Unfortunately, a large amount of mud and the lack of water due to something called a 'low tide' meant that no boats (rowboats or otherwise) would be entering the vista.
Found this after a careful search - it was not where we thought it might be.

Out and about around Tooradin, amongst the coastal villages and vast seas of vegetables.
The GPS'r gave us a number of options, we were somewhat surprised by the DR and the TR after we found the cache.
**FEEDBACK TO CO:** Just wondering if the TR is really reflective of where the cache is currently located?
Thanks to 'The van Abel crew' for placing this cache on the geo-gameboard.

Found at 1725 on a caching run with SirJ-Oz - he still needed a number of finds to achieve his goal of 1000 finds this year, I needed to walk off Christmas!
My GPSr was being a bit iffy, but the cache was pretty quickly found once I ignored the compass and went with instinct.
Thanks The van Abel crew.

Find #4054. Found @ 17:26 with AmethystPig
My self-appointed challenge for the year is to get 1000 finds for the year, and I've fallen behind in that, but I'm catching up. To get me closer, AmethystPig and I went to walk with nature in Warneet. 19 to go.
This was the first find of the outing. On approach to GZ in the car, we thought that the cache might be inaccessible behind some fencing, but as we got really close that was not going to be the case. AmethystPig made the find of the cache container.
Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables.

Got close to GZ but found nothing will try again next week.... If owners could just check to make sure it's there thanks
Getting very close to my destination of searching for the walk with nature series now. We stopped and had our lunch here, walked around the lake, then finally located the cache. tftc.
All good to go again, cache was found on ground under some leaves. Back in place and ready to be found.
Just back from checking on cache, cache was actually on the ground in plain sight, now back in its hiding spot.

Your prompt attention to logs that indicates things could be amiss will be greatly appreciated by all geocachers.

Please respond to this situation by **17th July** to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness. If you require more time, please be sure to post a "Write Note" log (not an email) explaining the situation and indicating a date when you believe the situation will be resolved.
**And don't forget,** once you have addressed the issue, post both an "Owner Maintenance" log, see here; [Removing the Needs Maintenance Icon](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) and an "Enable Listing" log, see here; [Temporarily Disable and Enable](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ) to get your cache up and running again.

Even with PAF we didn’t make a find here today. Can the co please check on this one? TFTH The van Abel crew
We searched in all the obvious spots with out any success and even after a PAF we still didn’t find it . We searched all the ground with a stick after reading a previous log stating they nearly ran over it!
We think this one needs the CO’s attention.

Geo-sister CGBH and I looked for a fair while here but sadly no luck for us today
Could not find yon sneaky cache...but i did find this awesome manna gum that was supporting native bees and a plethora of funky wasps....like this pic! I'll be back!
Struggling on this one. Can you confirm chache is still in position?? No luck on my 3rd attempt
I have come past here several times before not being able to find this cache. Well today was the day and I was determined to make this cache change from blue to yellow. So upon rocking up I had a phone call but after that i was on the hunt. Up, down, left and right but no where to be seen. But then I had an idea...... what if, then Upon looking at that spot I saw where I went wrong and saw the well hidden cache. Anyways thanks for the cache and the frustrating hide.

Last cache of the day after visited Inverloch/Wonthaggi for the caching day. I came here for my 2nd attempt to find after my DNF few months ago so finally found it. The sunset was about to go down. Logged in. Thanks The van Abel crew for the cache
Co-ordinates led me to the same spot no matter which direction I approached from but alas dnf
Thanks to a previous finder I finally found it! OMG I cant believe I missed it so many times! My Geo senses did not work here. So many great hiding places. But the mozzies had no trouble finding me, I had the car window down for 1 minute then I counted at least a dozen in with me! I took off with all windows down and eventually they all left (without my blood). Thankyou for the fun.
Found it! I almost parked on top of it! A quick find before setting off to walk with Muggle Janette and Heather to Warneet! Nice bold hide! TFTC SL
Such a lovely spot have to come back and have a picnic. Found the cache fairly easily but it was a bit trickier getting it with a bit of walkers and traffic going past. Think I managed it pretty covertly LOL Many thanks
Parked next to GZ and thought I gave it a thorough inspection. I even tried other places around the area but no luck.
Blind Bight is just beautiful. Can't wait to come back in summer. With friends geofriends.
Just did a quick check on the cache, still in place and waiting to be found
Found after a long look around in the sand and scrub. Great area to go fishing and kyacking. Thanks for bringing us to this spot. SL. TFTC. . Cheers.
I was out and about caching today with Kiwideb down Tooradin way. This one took quite a while to find. Kiwideb was looking about twenty metres away from where I was looking. Eventually, we checked the logs and realised that it had been moved, and Deb had the old co-ordinates. After an extensive search, she finally came up with the find.
My thanks to The van Abel crew for the cache.

Another DNF for me today. My GPSr went flat just as I got out to start looking and I haven't quite conquered the phone app. so I had a look at the obvious places, but will come back with batteries for another search.
A beautiful cache to start off an otherwise bleak day. With showers of rain all over, it was nice to find this one! TFTC, Brainiac03

Sorry guys, place looked like last time I was here.
Obvious hiding place empty and beer bottles laying around.
Thanks anyway

Edit - After speaking to the Van Abel Crew, who were just down the road, they discovered that the cache is missing again. They have replaced the cache again, and kindly entered our name on the log file. Changing this log file to a "Found It".
Thanks greatly guys for fixing this geocache again

Arrived to Australia for two days ago, Me and Gandor will take some caches in Australia.
Today did we drive east before a meeting at noon to find some caches. We found this one quit easy in the morning.
Thanks for the cache and greetings from Sweden.

That will teach me to read logs before I go hunting. Seems I must have been just a tad too early. Another time.
Like others found the trail and the obvious spot for a hidden cache, however no cache there.
There is a few beer bottles laying around however.
Perhaps next time

Sadly we were unable to find this one, the obvious spot seemed to be vacant, may require some looking into.

No cache in the obvious place to be found, just a stick of lip gloss??? Possibly a victim of muggling
We all searched for a few minutes until mr9 found a geotrail in the ferns and found it straight away. Tftc
Well we were chiming about 20m from this. Had to read some logs for a hint. They steered us in the right direction and geoboy 9 found it.
Find #2402
An early morning caching run out this way to look for a few caches before work. I had been down here once before on another caching mission but didn't think to stop for this one at that time. All quiet this morning and I was able to park close by. No problems spotting this one and I had it in hand, signed and replaced in no time. Took nothing., left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables. Thanks for the cache The van Abel crew. I'm certain I wouldn't have come down this way if it wasn't for geocaching.
We could see it from the road so attempted to re hide it better. Lovely spot. Would never have come here if it werent for geocaching. Tftc.
I was in the area chasing down a zone for the Casey wherigo and couldn't resist.
Nice quick find. Cheers.

#128. A day out caching with the geograndson which is always fun, and discovering new areas. An easy find but oh so many mosquitoes to fight off!
We were flabbergasted having lived reasonably locally for a number of years now that we had never been to this little town. We have ticked that box now, thanks for making us divert here today.

Out with Jascat completing the caches in Warneet. Couldn't possibly go home without finding the ones in Blind Bight. A welcomed toilet stop and a quick cache. TFTC
After a morning and afternoon walk with nature without a pit stop mazza-g and I found ourselves taking a break here. Priorities out of the way now off to find a cache. Before you say Jack Robinson mazza-g had made the find with just enough time for us to sign the log and off to get some coffee. TFTC
We made the most of the toilet stop and a managed a quick find after a short search, thanks casey.cachers for the hide.
Thanks casey.cachers. I must admit I was in the nearby toilet when the guys made the find and when I came out could hardly see them in the bushes as the ferns were so tall. TFTC

My coordinates seemed to be a little out, but Happy pants had the coords spot on.
Cheers for the cache

We got much more than we bargained for as we approached gz for this cache. As we turned into the parking lot we wondered why a car towing a trailer and boat out of the carpark had stopped right in the middle of the road. The true nature of the event soon became obvious. The trailer was still attached to the car, but the boat was no longer attached to the trailer. Apparently the owner had just swapped trailers, and as this one didn't have a winch attached he had simply tied the boat on. Obviously the man had not been a boy scout, as the boat was now at an acute angle with the motor resting firmly on the bitumen. Luckily, he was able to PAF who brought a winch, and the boat was soon back on the trailer. Slightly cockeyed and a bit worse for wear, but at least it was on the trailer. Oh, yeah. I nearly forgot about the cache. Despite having quite a few muggles about, much too close to gz for comfort, they were much too interested in the mishap to notice us as we made the find and took care of business. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.
This was the first cache for me and my brother and have to say it was an awesome experience , TFTC guys
Drove past this one, whilst doing the Casey Wherigo and contemplated getting it then but it was a busy summers day and I was on a mission to get the whereigo done. So with this being day 1 of our school holidays I thought it best to bring the boys back here/ Much quitter today and a change to have a toilet break too. It amazes me, that there aren't more caches in this area, as it is such a pretty spot. Thanks for placing this cache, edging closer to 400 finds for us
First visit to Blind Bight, hope it isn't the last! Great bbq area, fishing and walking trails. Cache was easily located, found in good condition, signed the log and returned as found. Many thanx to casey.cachers for introducing me to the area
