TFTC:). As soon as I got to GZ, noticed something stand out. Sure enough my it was indeed the cache and the find was made.C.C
Had a fabulous day caching around this reserve with Jascat. Enjoyed the little series you have going here. No clue in this cache however we found it was not needed for the bonus cache. TFTC

All in place and good, first find on our fruit and veg trail. (No fruit or veg clue though?)
----------### **OWNER MAINTENANCE REQUESTED PLEASE** ###----------Hi there Cache Owner,This cache has been flagged by Geocaching HQ as a cache that **possibly** needs some attention. You may recall having received an automated email from Geocaching HQ which explained what you needed to do.

This spot was a bit muggly, but at least you can hear them coming on the gravel. A stunning view of the sunlight reflecting off the lake.Tftc!
One of the challenges that I am working on is finding 20 geocaches in every Victorian LGA. Over 3 different visits to the Hobson Bay LGA, I am now up to 16 finds. Today was the day to finish off this LGA and I seemed to have done it in style. 19 finds and no DNFs in this LGA. Most of them by Rob MC, so big thanks to this CO. The main target for today was the Newport Lakes Reserve, and it was a lovely day for a stroll around this beautiful reserve. Minimal people in the area and most caches found in good condition. Most log books do 'appear' full, but only because everyone seems to write on a new page. First find in the area at 2 pm.Thanks for the cache, Rob MC.Hunter
All this caching is getting my steps up. These fruit and veg will only help me get even healthier. TFTC
Thanks for a great walk. We really enjoyed this series. Did it backwards and realised we could solve the bonus early on. TFTC
Epic mosaic! Found very quickly after getting to the posted coordinates. Spent a bit of time mucking about in the bush above, feeling truly confused. Thank god some sense got in me after seeing that its only a 1.5 terrain.TFTC
A lovely day out with my birdwatching son, and grandson. Love making memories. Tftc
Searched for 20 minutes without any luck. I wonder if many of these DNFs are caused by caching at night as I often cache as a "graveyard shift." I'll definitely come back during the day.
Had our lunch round about now and were happy to find some lovely shaded picnic tables. There was a big group of people off in the other shelter, but we had ours all to ourselves. It was getting quite hot so we were glad to have some water and thermos coffee. TFTC.
Thanks for the cache, found recently without issues...except for the turtles in the lake spying on me; lucky that they can not talk to humans, else I would have been muggled while getting this cache.
Back today to get the rest in this beautiful reserve. Sl thanks for the cache.
Thanks for bringing us to this nice area! Cache is in good condition. Grabbed the trackable that was here to move on.
On secondment to Melbourne, Australia, combined with short holidays here and there. Day 26/74, Friday. Today, I first worked some hours in the morning. Then I headed to Newport and made a long walk around the LOVELY Newport Lakes Reserve, enjoying the views, nice weather and, of course, many geocaches in the area. I had the best day! After all that fun I returned to my place of accommodation and continued working, fitting to the schedules of my Finnish colleagues who just started their day. All the Fruit & Veg caches were quick finds in exact coordinates. They were in good condition. I liked the series a lot! Thank you for the cache and greetings from Vaasa, Finland!
