Will be relocating this cache to a different area. Present site is not acceptable for safety reasons
There are a couple trees that fell into the river we think the tube went along with it
Disabling this cache as it is getting too dangerous to access because of the very high river
although no room to sign the logAmazing location for a cache!! Took us several minutes but found it in the end!
Hint- Look at the river for a pipe and it’s close in a tree!

Heading back home after visiting South Australia, mind you we are not going the direct route but exploring some of the towns that we hadn't been to before.
Stopped here for a break and while my wife went op shopping, I look for this cache.
Took a bit to find but eventually it was spotted

Well that was lucky! Muggle walking past pointed it out. Thanks mate! Beautiful spot here
This one was pretty straight forward to locate . Found while caching the area today

Hopping along the great River Murray heading east towards home base and intending to be at the MEGA in Wangaratta by Friday. Figured the cache wouldn’t be too far down the bank! TFTC and top views.
Took a bit to find, however got there eventually there were heaps of muggles around which also made it difficult
Lovely walk along the river beautiful afternoon staying in swan hill for a few days TFTC
Riverside find in a great public space. Thankyou for bringing us to the cache and the adventure. Squeezed this one in a few hours before covid lockdown 7.
Cheers

It was a chilly old day and I was sure I'd get wet, almost gave up but glad I didn't! TFTC
WHAT A CACHE! Almost gave up after 10 minutes of looking. Tho the log book is now full after us. TFTC!!
Found after an afternoon of wandering around town. With persistence, we were able to get the cache in a good spot to see the Murray meet the Little Murray again. TFTC!
The terrain rating threw me a little as I ventured towards the river as the kids played nearby. In the end, the correct perspective revealed the camo’d cache. Thanks for bringing us here and TFTC
After returning from a 3000km silo & water tower art trail I am now logging my cache finds we had a great trip
Find #4792. Found @ 17:54
With an extra week off work, I decided to go on a little 4 day caching trip, that I've dubbed the CMapLGAmer trip. Combining targeted finds for the Country Map challenge, LGA challenge, and AUSmer challenge finds in the Western Victoria region - for added bonus, I've also included some large caches in the mix as well for another challenge, but they weren't in the mix when I came up with the name.
I used cachetur.no to plan the trip and (after I worked out some kinks with how I was using it) it worked fine.
This was a bonus pre-dinner walk cache. I decided to take a walk along the river before grabbing some dinner, and was passing past this cache. I over committed to the hunt (and may have entered NSW) before realising that I'd gone too far. I spotted the cache shortly after.
Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables.

First day of the new year = first cache of the new year. Quick find, thank you for the hide!
An excellent cache along our beautiful Murray River. Lots of bird life. We are very lucky to have colorful, noisy birds in Australia.
Nice easy find today, unable to access this myself but figured by the clues where it was hiding, TFTC
Hi there Hercs&pinky.
We found your cache **"Birds of Australia - Black Swan"** today.
The plan today was to go supermarket shopping, but we just had to log a few geocaches first.
Thanks for placing this cache here. Over the years, Geocaching has taken us on many adventures and to lots of wonderful destinations all over Australia. Without 'caching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our nomadic wanderings. 'Caching has also introduced us to a diverse group of like-minded people, many of whom we now call friends.
**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found your cache exactly where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing
**Left:** Nothing.
Thank you Hercs&pinky for adding to our adventure.
Regards
Ian & Penny

Great cache! Took a while to find, but persistence is the key. Let the geocaching instincts take over and then there it was just hanging around! ??
Thoroughly enjoying weather here today. Warm and sunny great to be out Geocaching. Thank you
We think we found what's left of the cache. It looks like the cache itself has gone missing.
With frmen1. I had scrambled right past it and was looking elsewhere when frmen1 spotted the blighter. TFTC
What a great park to stop at gor lunch. Found quickly thanks to previous logs. Tftc
This one's co-ords had me more out in the drink [:o] so i just put the GPS away and let the caching instincts do the work.
I was looking for about 5 or so minutes before spotting the booty [^]
{so many places to hide one here}
