Logs
Initially we parked off the road but found we could have driven up the drive and parked near the gate - safely away from the fast moving traffic.This was another cache we used the clue and our geocaching instinct to locate. After finding it, signing the log and replacing the container we checked our GPS and it indicated we were 18m north of the published coordinates.
Thanks for this cache Bob Tomkins. It is a nice place for a cache hide. Up dating the published coordinates would be useful.

A quick find at GZ albeit 15m from the posted co-ordinates, the hint gives you the gooods to get to the location.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks for this geocache here today.

Found on an excellent footy trip to Melbourne with Sol de lune and LuckyL10n. After a bit of searching around GZ, the cache was found in a good hiding place. TNLNSL. TFTC LKR!
A weekend trip to Melbourne to attend a few AFL games with LuckyL10n and Toy Hunters gave us he opportunity to head off the main road and try these new Geocaching Australia caches.
The weather was certainly not with as the started to pour just as we arrived at the first cache. We found this ok and were pleased with the updated co-ords by Team Ladava. With those co-ords in hand we had the cache in hand quickly.
Thanks LKR....a neat little series of caches showing off a few interesting areas...even with the rain preventing us have a good look around

#GA3048 - 15:20; Headed south for a weekend of football with Sol de lune and toy hunters and now in Kilmore on the hunt for caches in the Historical Society series (Probably more aptly named the Lancefield to Kilmore Railway series). The rain was still well and truly with us and while the coords were still a bit off, the explicit hint led us to our target. TFTC Bob Tomkins/lkr

Found by Sunbury based Team Ladava on a rare day out caching but this series appeared on our notifications.
We loved the concept of the series; the informative cache notes, the large containers appropriate to the rural location and the comprehensive hints.
We were not so keen on the inaccurate coordinates and the containers hidden under the leaf litter which at this time of year, with so much covering the entire area, made for difficult finds or DNF’s and experience tells me minimal cover and cache security during summer.
First to Find.
Locations like this are 'the icing on the cake' of Geocaching with the locals hosting us anonymously to their favourite spots.

Our thanks to Bob Tomkins for the cache and bringing us to this location.
