Thanks Fredd01. Very windy here today! No fishermen about. We saw quite a few seals swimming in the wild water. I didnt see any dolphins or pelicans. There were 100s of seagulls sitting flat on the toad ( possibly avoiding the wind).

A great spot. Lots of seals (30+), dolphins (20+) and pelicans (50+). Photos included.Mandatory photo also taken. TFTVC SmileBrad and Janet are on another epic trip. This time across South Australia to Broken Hill. Then through central and Northern NSW and up into Qld where we will be picking up a new hybrid house-on-wheels. Then we will head south down through more of NSW via Sydney to catch up with B2. Then further south until we get into Victoria from where we will head back into South Australia. Along the way we will grab caches of opportunity.

Today is our last day in Lakes Entrance and it is extremely windy and freezing cold. Perhaps even below freezing!! We have been privileged to see lots of wildlife on our visit here and there are five pelicans on the water edge, one pelican in the water and about 18 dolphins playing in the channel (no seals) and 2 crazy people fishing. Its way too cold to get out of the car, .so taking a photo from the car hehe. It is a little warmer inside and looking out here rather than walking to the end of the sandbank like we did yesterday! thanks for the Amazing views.
 
08-Jul-24
This was our last stop for the day.It was getting late in the afternoon and a good time to pause and enjoy the views.While we were here we spotted 6 fisher folk, 1 pelican, 1 fishing boat and 0 seals.There were flat seas, no breeze and it was overcast.Thanks to Fredd01 for this virtual.

Stopped at Lakes Entrance today for lunch and a walk around. Weather was a bit chilly at about 10C, 30kph winds, and light rain off and on. No one out fishing today but we did see 6 or 7 seals and 3 pelicans. No dolphins today. Water was a bit choppy. Great spot for a virtual and thanks for placing it here!

Lovely spot to visit on this glorious May day. While I didnt see any dolphins here I had seen some earlier. 1 seal5 swans3 pelicans5 people fishingTftc Freddo1Regards, kbucky
 
20-May-24
We arrived here at 5pm and the weather wasnt the best. It was 13 degrees, cold, drizzly, windy but not gale force, perhaps strong breeze - but strong enough to move my hair! No dolphins, swans, pelicans or even fishing people were there when we got there. One fisher did turn up while we were there. The tide was pretty high, so the rocks were covered, but you could see them under the water and the dredge was in dock. We passed it on our way in. Well come back another day, hopefully to give a different report.
 
20-May-24
It was a beautiful day, sunny with a slight breeze perfect for walking. The tide was going out creating a few ripples on the water. We spotted two lots of froth, one fisherman, over 50 seagulls and inanimate animals as listed.3 dolphin sets x22 pelicans +12 kissing fish x22 stingrays X21 swan However later Tagalong spotted several seals playing at the entrance along with a dredge at work.I didn't realise that the entrance was man made and needed to be dredged regularly. Thanks for that info and the fun here Fredd01
 
19-May-24
Went for a wonderful fish and chip dinner.Just love a scummy tea, while watching the evening getting darker...As its heading into winter, the nights get colder quicker, so only two fishermen. Who as we finished our dinner stated they was going off to do the same thing as they hadn't been very lucky.We saw a beautiful pelican fly over but only one.
 
12-May-24
We're heading east to spend time on the South East New South Wales coast with a mate but decided to detour into Lakes Entrance for lunch. This virtual was published after our last visit to the area so it was a must do. The weather was glorious today although a little cool at 15 degrees at around lunchtime.We only saw 1 pelican and no seals or dolphins unfortunately and dodged 4 fishermen.Thanks for find #6144TNLN
 
04-May-24
Staying in Lakes Entrance for a few days, and with lovely weather, we are enjoying visiting some of the caches. We saw swans and pelicans here today, but yesterday, at the entrance, we watched seals frolicking in the waves, leaping out of the water and through the air to dive back again. It was a great sight, and we stayed for quite a while.Thanks for all your work here, Fredd01, you've done a great service for your fellow geocachers.

Cache # 11244 on 25 Apr 2024Decided to take advantage of the ANZAC day holiday and make a long weekend of it - added a road trip with Bobl27 to the mix and all is set for a fun few days. We are travelling from home in the ACT to Victoria via Cooma and then doing a relaxed loop to Melbourne picking up a few caches and counties along the way. And then straight up the Hume home! No tricky DTs or long walks this trip. This cache: a late afternoon visit to Lakes Entrance for a bite to eat and a cache! Surprised at the number of fishing vessels tied up at the docks. Photo attached. Report follows: Seals: none sightedDolphins: none sightedPelicans: 2 sighted near posted coordinates but a dozen more around the corner. Weather: breezy and cool! The water at the entrance was very rough! Thank you Fredd01 for the cache and the fun!

It started bucketing down as we pulled up, hard to see anything out the windscreen but amazingly, there was one kid fixing his fishing rod in the rain. I did see a whole squadron of pelicans in the point across from us and I did spot a seal playing over near the entrance. Caching around on the road trip that encompasses Barrington Tops, Sydney, the Easter Geobash Mega in Canberra then the return via who knows where to homeThanks Fredd01 for contributing to this great game for myself and others to enjoy.

Bit of a chilly one today with a breeze blowing so kids complaining of cold. The jetty we passed was covered with fisherman but between car and here just one fisherman. As we stand here... one drone, but no other wildlife to be immediately seen. We did however see a seal kill and eat a fish just around the corner. Thanks
 
22-Mar-24
On a road trip to attend Capital Geobash Mega and see many different sights along the way. Today we had a big day walking and taking in some lovely areas. We visited GZ and spent some time just watching. This morning, there were 5 fishermen, lots of pelicans across the shore, and it was 18 degrees. We watched one fisherman who had a unique casting and retrieving style. It was fun to watch. Later in the day we got to see the virtual from the other side of the entrance. Fredd01 for creating for us all to enjoy. ...................................................Are you ready to nominate in the **2023 Victorian Cache of the Year Awards**?

Found by The Empire + HThe sun hung high in the sky, casting a warm glow over the asphalt as we embarked on another road trip, this time setting our compass towards the coastal gem of Merimbula, NSW. Summer was the perfect companion for our journey, promising sun-kissed landscapes and a wealth of new discoveries along the way.Our first pitstop on this adventure was Lakes Entrance, a tranquil coastal town nestled at the entrance of the Gippsland Lakes. The scent of brine hung in the air as we stepped onto the jetty, a bustling hub where fishermen cast their lines and the rhythmic clatter of crab nets echoed in harmony with the lapping waves. The Entrance, where the lakes met the Southern Ocean, was a convergence of worldsa place where nature and human activity danced in a delicate choreography.Weather: Sunny but a little windyPelicans: 2Dolphins: 0Seals: 0Crabs: 1,000How many people fishing did you have to pass through to get to GZ? 20ish!Thanks for the virtual cache Fredd01, favourite point added!-MVirtual #221

Day 2. A last minute plan had been hatched to make my way to QOGM. Very little planning had been done but a very rough outline was in place and it was going to be a day by day trip.

Staying in Bairnsdale overnight it was time to explore nearby before heading over the border.

Blue sky, great weather, 5 pelicans, zero dolphins and a handful of people fishing with no obvious signs of any catches.

Thanks Fredd01 for adding this cache to the worldwide collection for us all to enjoy.

We have now finished our Father's Day weekend away and starting to head home. However cache leave without finishing and collecting the last of the Lakes Entrance geocaches. Only these 2 left.

Great views of the Entrance, however much better sitting at the entrance watching the seals playing in the water.

Only 2 fishermen settin up on this lovely day, sunny, windless day. No seals, dolphins and pelicans but about a dozen black swans.

Thanks for the cache Fredd 01 and for what seems like maintenance ALL the geocaches in Lakes Entrance

We are heading to Canberra to catch up with friends for a couple of days caching and we decided to leave early and take the more scenic route and grab a few caches along the way.

We are mainly concentrating on Ad Labs, virtual's and earth caches as they don't give us muggle problems.

We pulled up here and could see extensive works going on, both onshore and offshore and no sign of a picnic table but we happily spotted the large sign and knew we were in the right place.
Although the sun was out today it was very windy and we only saw 6 fishermen all huddled in the one corner and unfortunately no pelicans or seals. This may have been because of the two barges working not far from gz or they just didn't like the rough seas.

Many thanks for placing this virtual in a very scenic location made better by the rough waters today.
 
22-Jul-23
Nice easy virtual cache with lots of fishermen & crab hunters about.
Also counted about 8 pelicans & a couple of swans watching and waiting.
The sun was out and beautiful afternoon to find another cache. TFTVC

It appears that the roadworks around Bullock Island are nearly complete and that GZ is now accessable. Thanks to OzHockeyChick and Geoturtle37 for the recent messages about the Vera Mill's information plaque. It has been removed during the recent works. I've updated the logging requirements and am hoping these are only a temporaty change. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Vera's plaque make a return.

Please note: logs will be deleted if the logging requirements are not followed.

Happy Caching
 
15-Jul-23
Headed out east this weekend to visit some friends. So obviously a bit of caching to be done before and after.

Even though this was disabled, Geoturtle37 and I decided to swing past and check it out. The works are now completed in this section, so we were able to get our photos. Message sent to CO regarding the other requirement.

Thanks for bringing us here by placing this virtual cache, Fredd01

OHC and I were pleased to be able to access where we needed to be. The works here are not yet completed but access was available.
Although it was a little chilly, it was a lovely winters day with beautiful clear waters. Thanks for bringing us to this location.

I'm disabling this one for a few weeks. There are roadworks going on around the area and the main road in is closed. Will enable it as soon as the roads are open.

CaptainVimes and I are on a driving holiday from Melbourne to Canberra this week. It was just started to rain when we arrived so we quickly grabbed what we needed and retreated to the car. Thanks for the fun Fredd01

Filigree Street follows the river one block up the bank from the Patrician's Palace and Widdershins Broad Way at the foot of the Brass Bridge rimward to Cheapside at the foot of the Contract Bridge.
It is best known as the location of The Mended Drum. It is also the location of the Assassins' Guild and School. God Street runs parallel to it, and this leads you round to the forbidding front door and official entrance of the Guild of Fools, Joculators and Mime Artists. Using the direct route via the thin party wall separating the two Guilds is frowned upon and ends in tears, so it is best to take the long walk round

A short detour on the way further along the coast. Plenty of people out here today trying their luck. We managed a snapshot with a nice boat. Answers messaged to the CO. TFTC

It's been many moons since I visited Lakes Entrance, so headed down this way for a look... Actually, it looks just as nice as ever.

Poor old Vera! Responses sent to the CO. Any relation to Freddo?

Took a pic of my keys and Tibby pathtag at the picnic table, showing the large sign. Soaked up the sea breeze. Balmy weather but expect it will cool off well before I need to leave the south-east coast.

I had a few choices on what to do and where to go for this long weekend so after a fair bit of deliberation I chose Eastern Victoria.
I headed this way so I could finally finish off the UBD challenge that I started a while ago so I was heading towards Cann River for the night.
Lakes Entrance was very busy this morning and the Main Street was packed with people.
I was lucky to part right near this as the carpark had quite a few cars in it so I took the required pic then went in search of the plaque.
I soon found Vera and I hope she had a wonderful life down in this beautiful part of Victoria.
I also called in at the fish co-op to grab some prawns and Oysters for tea on the way out.

Thanks Fredd01 TFTVC.
