Logs
Some time ago we solved this puzzle after some Google research. As we were passing by today we left the main road and took to the byways to find this cache. Our 2WD Kia Cerato handled the unsealed roads without missing a beat.
When we reached the hide site we again found ourselves with a great view of the country around and yes we did see the reservoir and two herds of cows. The cows were not close by so we could search without being muggled by curious beasts.
We were a little over cautious while removing the cover as a week ago we uncovered a large tiger snake while lifting a concrete block near a cache. No snake was found in the vicinity of this cache hide.
As we removed the cache we noticed that there were several centimetres of water in the cache container. the log was safe and dry in its plastic bag. We dried the container and contents before we replaced everything as found. We could not see how the water got into the container.
Thanks J_&_J for another cache with a great view and for a puzzle that taught us something we didn't know about cows.

A little research was required to solve this one. I had no idea what I was looking for when I started but fortunately the web turned up some info that pointed me in the correct direction and soon I had all the numbers I required to go searching 
GZ rewarded me with others some great views but none of them surprisingly included a cow! There were however lots of black faced sheep in residence
Cheers and thanks for the hunt J & J

Found It!
I came across some odd things while solving this puzzle including some ideas I might use for a puzzle of my own one day. But once I'd found the right thing I soon had a set of coords. Today I was in the area so stopped past GZ for a quick find. Nice views to!
TFTC and Moooo!

This cache was checked today and all was well inside the container. Picked up a pathtag that we weren't expecting to find.
