I moved to Foster about a week an a half ago. Absolutely love it here. Decided to go out and find some caches to get to know the region a little better. This is my first stop. Just before the cache there is a sign; "Windy Ridge." Today this is incredibly, accurately named. It's positively cyclonic. The countryside is magnificent and the view here amazing. I will definitely get back up here for photos when the weather is better. Thanks for placing the cache. Easy park and grab. I'll look out for more caches from you in the area. Hey, do they have any events in the area? Nice way to meet local geocachers.TNLN ----- TFTC

26-Apr-23
Day Trip: Home/Drouin/Poowong/Korumburra/Leongatha/FishCreek/Waratah/SandyPoint/Foster . . . Warragul/Home.

Great views that's for sure! We'll have to come back on a clearer day as it was a bit hazy today and probably take in Mt Nicholl as well. Last cache find for the day and now it's time to head into Fish Creek for a pub meal before setting off for home.

Unfortunately until lock down to regional areas is lifted we cannot undertake maintenance as we no longer live in the area. We will check the cache as soon as it is reasonable to do so

I driven past here so many times but always someone here. Today I came by twice and 2nd time lucky. Had to stop anyway As I had a stone in some part of brake drum. Went to try to pull it out and burnt end of finger. A lovely lady stopped to see if I was ok and with her scissors and knitting needle we managed to remove the stone. Then on to find container, made me wish to be taller like happens so often with geocaching. container and contents gross with black slime sorry had nothing to clean with. I did put log in another bag though. I have grown up with this gorgeous view and glad to find a gc here on this glorious day. Tftc FlyingPigSquadron

Classy View indeed. It was slightly hazy as we arrived at the layby in which this cache is to be found. The view out towards Wilsons Promontory is quite spectacular. When we arrived, a plumber was walking around on the phone; we assume because the phone reception is quite good in this spot. Mrs Dromaniax took the opportunity to get the camera out and take some photos for her current assignment until the plumber left the area. Once the coast was clear, we quickly found the cache and signed the log. We were somewhat surprised that this cache hasn't been found since last year as this is not a difficult cache to find. The cache had some water in, but we dried it out as best as possible; the log was dry as a bone. Thank you for this cache FlyingPigSquadron.

With the relaxed Covid restrictions in regional Victoria, we are enjoying being out and about in Gippsland. We have been frustrated with our finds this year, we had planned to travel and explore central NSW and Queensland using the geo map as our tour guide, but Covid messed that up.
Once again we have teamed up with Rebel Acts (and are signing small caches as RASP)and today we are down South Gippsland way on the look out for as many caches as we can find. At the moment it is a mild overcast day which makes for very comfortable caching.
Mrs SKI jumped out to look for this one with no luck. It wasn’t until the much taller Rebel Acts helped that the cache was found. The cache was well named, it is a great view

The weather was looking good , with restrictions lifted in regional Vic I once again teamed up with SKI Pair armed with My mask and Sanitizer, We had a great day exploring the South Gippsland region. There were quite a few challenging and novel hides in the area. this is one of the caches we found today.

Thanks FlyingPigSquadron for the cache.

Great views. Awesome conifer. Though I must admit that the huge hanger made me get in and out as quickly as I could. Grabbed 2 trackables and we were on our way.

My wife was looking for a 30 kilometer plus track for a training run and I suggested the Great Southern Rail Trail as there was a number of geocaches on it that I hadn't found. We started at Meeniyan and she ran to Foster while we drove, walked and geocached our way there.

Quick find as we were able to park within 2 meters of the geocache. 999HK wanted to do this one herself but just wasn't able to reach it.

We swapped tbs

Thanks for the cache Flying Pig Squadron

Travelling around Australia in our Caravan with our cat, we are currently based in Foster.

Headed out today with a list of caches to attempt. We had only a 50/50 [:(!] success ratio then added in some puzzles so still trying to calculate what that means. Surprised

Awesome view and great cache as we have come to expect from FlyingPigSquadron. Swapped over TB's and greetings from Perth WA.
