Hi all, Sorry for not getting to this sooner but have been very sick last few months. Will have it checked out in the next few days and hopefully it will be up and running in a short time.
Thanks to all and once again Sorry that some have not found this.

With DNF logs going back to April and no response from the CO to the Needs Maintenance log from July, I think it's time to bring this one to the attention of the Reviewer.
Lots of sawdust but no cache. Maybe the CO should check this one out to make sure it still exists. Kutgw
As a previous finder I was sure I could find it but there had been some maintenance in the area and I am not sure it it there anymore.

On a Truckie mission from Dandenong to Bega and back and got accomodation here for the night. With a few free hours left I decided to go on a much loved adventure 
) TFTF
) TFTFThe Quest for the Golden Dragon Easter tour from Sydney continues onto Day 4. Cruised into Eden form the night and came out to the Lookout to check out our surroundings. No luck for us but it looks there's been some maintenance around what we thought was GZ. Never mind. We enjoyed the view. Cheers... Gaztek
The signs around here are a requirement for #2 of this cache. Which is over 30mins drive away. Didn't realise that till we got to the second one...
nearly muggle free !!!!!!!!!
This was a beautiful, sunny and hot day. I strolled over to ground zero and searched for a short time and found the container. The coords are right on the mark.
The cache is in good condition and the log paper is nice and dry. I took nothing, left nothing, and signed the log paper.
I carefully replaced the cache right back where we found it. Then, I headed towards the next cache - direction Sydney.....
*thanks to The Looney's for your cache*

Greetings from the UK
We have had great fun Geocaching in Australia and New Zealand as the caches take us to so many fascinating places and teach us about the areas. TFTC.

Two weeks in Australia for holidays with Kirdec.
Day 11. Time to come back to Melbourne. Last day, we drived from Sydney to Narooma, and today from Narooma to Lakes Entrance.
Of course, we do some caches on the way.
Mostly, the caches were found without difficulty, thanks to all the owners for their work.

Today's caching drive was from Bega to Eden then returning to Tathra. What a wonderful countryside with caches taking us to many interesting places. Thanks to the COs for providing us with a different aspect to this area of the south coast of NSW.
We came here yesterday, but so many muggle picnickers for Australia Day we didn't even stop. This morning it was much better, with no-one around. By the time the gps said we were 20m away, another car pulled up, so we walked out to get the info for the nearby earthcache. Once they had gone we went back for a quick retrieve. We wrote up the log at a nearby picnic table and another car pulled up. Once they went to the lookout I replaced the cache and we headed off for brekkie at a nearby cafe. TFTC, TheLoooney's.
Australia Day, ‘Straya Day, a day off work before my normal 2 day weekend called for a 3 day road trip. End of day one and I’m logging my finds from my motel room with some cold beers, true Aussie style? Dunno, I’m a Kiwi.
First trip to NSW, 8.5 hour drive to reach my motel in Eden, but got a good number of caches on the way.
My 14th stop. Grabbed after doing the EC, no worries here.

Since moving from New Zealand I have been enjoying the area, exploring and finding caches. I have got a nice streak going and hoping to let it run for as long as possible. This may or may not become easier now that I have found a job but I’m still currently staying with my brother (stinky tom) and his family which includes my nephew (stinky bob).
A big thanks goes out to all the cachers and cache owners without whom this lifestyle would not be possible.
The caches I’ve found in Australia so far have for the most part all been in great condition. Keep up the good work. Everyone likes finding a well maintained cache with a dry logbook.

Found today on our trip from Sarsfield to Tilba Tilba. A lovely spot to stop for a look and to pick up a cache as well!! Took the only TB in the cache for a further adventure. TFTC
Found while out adventuring with my boys. In a heap of visits I have always wanted to come to this spot but never quite made.
Came down late and on a v.windy day but still had heaps of muggles in the area.
Met two other cachers and told them about a couple of good caches in the area so hopefully they go find them and have a good time doing so.

After getting out of the geo vehicle our GPS led us straight to the hiding place we were looking for. Such a beautiful place for a cache to hide. There were plenty of muggles around but they were more interested in absorbing the view than what we were doing. Log was signed, took nothing, left nothing. Thank you to The
Looney's for drawing attention to such a spectacular place.

Today the coast went south. Pass Tilba Tilba, Bega, Wallagoot Lake, Merimbula and the Sapphire Coast to Victoria.
There we got to the country point and drove back over many beautiful bays and landscapes again. On the way we could find the one or the other cache and thank all owners for laying and holding the containers.

Amazing lookout and def high muggle rating. Geokid found this one before I made it out of the car! Tftc
First cache during our way back to Sydney. The overnight in this city gave us the chance to visit the killer whale museum and more (big smile).
Thanks for showing us this nice area,

I found with NaokObin. This was 50th cache for me. This lookout was very nice. Thanks!
Stopped in to Eden while camped nearby in Ben Boys National park. Lovely spot and nice quick find - not many muggles on Christmas Eve. Took one TB and left another. TFTC
After a visit to the Killer Whale Museum we continued towards this lookout. The cache was easily found and I was able to drop 2 TB's of which I had taken with me from home. At the lookout we saw a Dutch cruise ship: the Maasdam!
On a day trip to Merimbula, while on holiday in Mallacoota. My muggle fisher hubby is letting me do a few caches. TFTC
Nice hide. Lucky geohubby was stealthy since there was a birthday part going on. Here with HennyGeo from Canada on holidays in beautiful Australia . TFTC
Actually took longer to find than it should of - wanted geokid to take Bathurst sticker but he found a rubber cake that he loved

#273. Managed to avoid muggles, possibly most are heading home after a long weekend for Melbourne Cup day. Cache is in good condition but lacks a writing tool - BYO. TNLNSL, TFTC!
Found with IFoundDan. The satellite image was way off, which w tried to find this via quickly, but coords good. TFTC
In town for the whale festival, and found this on the way down to the lookout to see whales. Didn't see any here, but did go down to Green Cape and saw heaps from the lighthouse there afterwards. Thanks for the cache.
We had a whale of a time with all the muggles about. Kept the cache out of view. TFTC
On arrival we went to the lookout - what a view. On our way back to search for the cache a mass of muggles appeared,luckily they all headed to the lookout so we could search with ease. Cache found quickly by geo junior 3. Signed log and replaced unseen. Geo kids were impressed by the termite mound nearby. TFTC.
An easy find but we were observed by some muggles so hopefully it stays safe! TFTC
Found with my Mum, Boeing737. Although we were careful at GZ, a couple of muggles saw us when we put the cache back in place. Hopefully it stays safe. TFTC
Lots of muggles about today, few sitting at the nearby picnic tables. Nice to be out of the wind. Retrieval and replacement a bit tricky but managed ok. Quick find on day 3 of our road trip.
Found the cache fairly readily after waiting for some muggles to pass by. Was fortunate to still be able to access the cache as a tree has recently fallen on gz! Nice views from the nearby lookout. TFTC
It's lovely sunny weather and the water is very flat, a good day to spot some whales! But unfortunately we didn't spot any whale or the cache. The coord brought us to the picnic table, but I suspect that isn’t right. Without a good coord it’s hard to find the right hiding place. Thanks anyway for bringing us to this viewpoint.
In the dark tonight we trusted to coordinates and found it still there. Thanks for the adventure.
Found with TheQuantumQuark and geokid

This took us longer than it should have with recent tree cuttings throwing us off! Tftc. Nice spot. Coords are out a bit.
