Logs
The cache container was found after a lot of wandering round. We replaced the log with a temporary one.We headed out in the car today to cache in the areas surrounding Swan Hill. It was an interesting journey as we traveled through varied farming country, some fruit, crops and scrubby areas. The caching was mixed with straightforward finds and a number of DNFs as we battled the GPSr on some, and others spot on. Many D/T ratings were spot on, but others definitely misleading.A successful if at times frustrating day nonetheless.Thank you for your efforts in creating and maintaining the cache Hercs&pinky.**SKI Pair****
Somehow I have found myself on this road. It's wet wet wet but quite happy to stop for fun themed caches! I'm enroute to home base which is at higher altitudes after a mammoth marathon multi mission into SA with a few geobuddies. Also have a personal project that means finding 20 caches in each LGA...thats something. TFTC and the FUn.
Mosquitos aplenty despite dousing myself in aerogard. Soon made the find and put my name on the log, now back to the protection of my car. TFTC
We were in Swan Hill to assist with the fireworks for the show tonight and as we had off loaded everything at the storage facility we had a free day to do what we wanted before starting to set up so obviously caching it was.
Graziers would not be looking for a soaking this time of year with everything so green and growing so well but in times gone by imagine how important it would have been have something like that in the middle of a vastly dry area. The traditional owners know how to find these things and making them work to their advantage long before we came along and basically before we made a mess of things. We had a little bit of trouble locating this one as the GPS are refused to settle down. Once it did we located the cache quickly but still took us a little while before we could actually get our name into the log before we returned everything as found.
Thanks again Hercs&pinky for the cache.

Lucky there were plenty of options to help us get this one. Not a sound at all. TFTC
The three of us were heading back to Adelaide from northeast Victoria, and we stopped here for a rest break and a cache. Mr Tardis found the cache in the first place he looked - don't you just love it when that happens?
Signed the log. Thanks for the cache Hercs&pinky.

Hi there Hercs&pinky.
We found your cache **"Harvey's Tank"** today.
The plan today was to a "Next closest" run, because we could and up anywhere. We managed to find 11 before some raindrops splattered on the windscreen & we headed for home.
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

Found during our COVID 2020 Murray River trip.
While Melbourne was in a state of turmoil rural Victoria was still okay, and with 4 weeks leave, and all the borders closed we decided the only warmish place in Vic was going to be as north as we could get. After a decade or so travelling north and west we started on the trips we'd left til later - the Murray River. Starting from East Gippsland we got to Wemen out of Robinvale before they announced Victoria was going back into Stage 3. Now we're working our way back home and avoiding Melbourne. Found this along the way. TFTC. DJ

A relatively quick find here. Retrieved log with a bit of trouble. Signed and returned. TFTC
After attending the St Arnaud Mega Event , now in Swan Hill and district for a couple of days. Travelling through the countryside and finding caches along the way. Thank you to all CO's for placement of the caches. TFTC.
While in Swan Hill for a few days, taking a day trip out to Sea Lake for some caches and silo art and doing it before the weather heats up in a day or two. Thanks to all the COs for placing and maintaining the caches we visited.
Nice to pause on the outskirts of towne and visit the tank 
A short stroll away GZ was reached,
and the cache was soon found
TANKS for the Cache !!

In contrast to yesterday, which was quite warm, this morning we battled a cold wind and some heavy rain squalls; weather improved after lunch. We found a variety of hides such as this and read some interesting cache notes.
Thanks 'Hercs&pinky' for adding this cache to the game board.

Suscoe and Phetlern headed out this afternoon after the rain had passed to find a few caches to the north west of Swan Hill.
It was a cloudy and cool afternoon.
Another fun outing with our good friends.
Nice to see some country side that we haven't travelled through before.
Thanks to Hercs&pinky for another cache to find.
We have enjoyed finding these caches as we have gone along these last few days.

A nice quick find here. Signed log and replaced.
There is a hole in plastic bag where the pen was pushed through
Sorry we never had one with us. All dry though.
A good hide TFTC.

You Little Ripper. A First to Find for us on this warm winters afternoon. Found at 2.40pm. TFTC. SL. Nice quick easy find. Left nothing but a few footprints. We thought that we had found a cache out at Harvey's Tank a few years ago, but it must have been muggled, we think it was near a bee hive....but not this one. Thanks for putting another cache out at this interesting hole. Cheers.
