Know I was probably looking at it without seeing it, but that's OK, I'll be back because I haven't been here before, thanks for taking me to new areas

Found It!
This was my second attempt at this one. Today I walked in while it was raining. Then spent a while searching through all the wet bushes before eventually looking in just the right spot and finding the cache. Then the rain got heavier as I was walking back to the car. Needless to say, I was quite wet by the time I got back to the car.

Out on the second day of the Mega with CPwanderer, Gizmo's Gang and JJ52.
After completing the Lobster and fish geoart, most teams ventured off to complete other caches.

Teaming up with mogni, sir-spectre, astro, fire safe and matty cat.
We completed quite a large area of forestry (while the weather was good)
and this cache was one of many completed today.
Thanks for the cache Beaker

After completing the crayfish a group of us continued on to the Finding a Fish series and some other nearby caches.
Travelling with CPwanderer, clare007 and JJ52, also mogni and sir_spectre and 2 other groups.. Logs were signed or stamped Mystery Randoms and Misfits.
TFTC -Beaker-

After doing the crayfish in the morning anf then moving along to do the geoart fish, it was time to finish what myself and mogni started last trip, the DRB series. Found this series with other cachers as well before parting ways with them. All caches in the series found plus a few stray others along the route.

Saturday the official start of the 2021 Millicent Mega event. today was filled with a few caches before meeting others up for some power trailing then heading out in to the forests for some more caches. The weather today was filled with rain off and on but that didn't stop me and Mogni. I was glad we had the 4x4 instead of Mogni car for the trip.

Today was the day planned to complete the crayfish and the fish pole caches along with others decided along the way with CPwanderer, Gizmo's Gang, clare007, mogni and sir_spectre. [^]
We met up with a few other teams at various times during the day and signed logs as misfits or mystery randoms.
A fun day was had with lots of caches found, lots of TOTTs used and very wet feet and legs, but Thanks for the cache pamir52.

Found with clare007 and Gizmos Gang as we headed around the area, We joined a "gaggle" of caches in this area ........................ great fun!!

A lovely cool morning for a stroll in the park. Took the walk and searched under a good dozen spots before finding this one.

Thanks for the cache -Beaker-.

Thanks

A lovey holiday stroll

Parked on the made road and made the nice walk out to this one. I arrived at GZ and the search began. So many possible hide locations and I put my hand in lots of odd locations. Finally I moved the right thing and the cache showed itself.

Today I made started with a bit of caching around the Millicent area before heading back to adelaide in the afternoon. The day was also separated by a early afternoon tea event. All up 46 finds for the day.

Thanks for the cache

Out with Sylken on this fine day picking off a few more unfound caches. Mr F and Sylken enjoyed the little stroll to GZ. Removed the toy with some surgery that was causing the difficulty here. all good for next finders.

We enjoyed a very pleasant morning caching with FelixII.
Many thanks to the CO’s for publishing and maintaining these caches for our benefit.

Mr FelixII did some maintenance on this one to allow others to access the log.

Many thanks for the hide

Found it on the second time looking first time was on dust and come back during the day and found it quite quickly nice hiding
And paper wet and container is jammed tight with stuff

Finally we can say we found it! Many times we have tried this cache and finally found it. In the same place we have looked many times. A lovely way to finish our Easter Sunday caching adventure. TFTC

Out with the family on a drizzly afternoon finding caches (treasure for the littlest member)
Found easily with GPSr & good co-ords.
Had a damp walk out but some much needed fresh air & exercise
TFTC pamir52

A lovely cool n damp day for a walk with the family.

Great walk to this one, found it just as it started to rain TFTC

Hard one to find

Whoo hoo eventually got back to this one. Hevwalker and I enjoyed a beautiful walk through a serine natural environment to find this one alot quicker than we thought it would take. TFTC

Out & about on this lovely afternoon with scramping collecting a few caches around the area...
It has been 2 & 1/2 years since this one has been found...we wondered if it might still be in place...we decided we would walk the 625m in to GZ...there was a well worn track around the gate but we chose not to disobey Authorised Vehicles Only sign...it was a very pleasant stroll...getting to GZ I noticed familiar vegetation and cringed...after such a long time this might require some searching...
Grabbed a stick & commenced the hunt...you never know what might be lurking in there...
I could not believe my luck...the black container was nicely tucked away in the first place I looked...very glad about that...
The logbook was signed & placed back exactly a found...
TFTC & the adventure -Beaker-
#7300

Weird how 3 experienced cachers can make an easy cache so hard. After DNF's and someone suggesting coords out we concentrated on spreading out. Wrong decision. Trusting the GPS, Mary looked at Monica who look backwards to find the cache container Mary was describing from older logs. Trust your GPS is our advise. TFTC Beaker.

Visiting mogni for the weekend with aussie M & M. The morning was taken up with exercise caching with a walk up to the centenary tower and a few higher terrain caches conquered. . After Lunch it was time for a drive in the countryside. As it was a bit of a drive to get here the cache description and previous logs were read. Somehow we got it in our head from this that GZ might be a little out. So starting there we spread out looking for the cache for 20 minutes. Then mogni went back to GZ and the logs were read again. She looked down and we heard that infamous giggle. It was right there. Carefully hidden but RIGHT THERE AT GZ. Thanks Beaker. A nice walk in too.

Out with brisal5 and Aussie M & M on a day of grabbing a few caches that we have missed on previous outings.
Do not believe everything you read. Having read previous logs we were looking away from GZ.... wrong Coords really good. Once i just looked for the the right colour container in the obvious spot... YAY!!!
Thanks

Worried about snakes, but instead got bitten by a bull ant.
Geohusband found fairly easy about 13m from GZ. Didn't think we'd find it after all the DNFs.
Found white container, looked around for the black one but no luck, are they both out here?

4 of us searching for 20 minutes, doing the DBD (really need to invest in a real GPS... Sometimes the phone doesnt cut it..!)
Its been a year since a find... wonder if its still there?
A beautiful place, TFTH!

Waited all summer for the water to dry up and can't find it

Well hidden Nice walk

TFTC caching day with Old Stratty what an awesome bush to look around very pretty out here took a bit to find sneaky hide thank goodness no snakes TNLN SL .

Four sets of eyes eventually found it. Nicely hidden, Beaker. Very pretty area. Tftc. Took small ball, left Ben 10 watch.

Urgh! 3Rd visit and we STILL can not find it! Will have to try again soon! The"obvious spot" isn't so obvious to us!

We searched for longer than I thought we would need to with 98 finds under our belts prior to this cache but just when I was starting to think it was missing there it was. Signed log and left a car, cache in great condition.TFTC

Catching up on on a few hundred missed logs
Found with bucketeer
Thanks for the hunt

A pleasant walk to GZ where we searched for quite while and then made the find in an obvious spot.
Thanks

Looked for ages. Couldn't find it wondering if it is still there as many people said this was an easy find. Maybe needs maintenance??

The Marshes was transferred from pamir52 to user Beakers Bunch

What a great spot for a walk in the bush & a cache.
TFTC

...YES...! our second go at this...and...bingo..! it was nearly dark so were lucky to spot it...how we never found it the first time....???? coz we sure looked everywhere then...enjoyed the walk in with geofamily....thanks pamir52

Had a easy drive in. from another access road look around for 10-15mins no luck so will wait and watch this cache to see if we are in fact blind

Had time to find after a interesting forest drive.
Thanks pamir52

Nice easy walk and find and NO SNAKES!! TFTC SL

Gates were locked today, so we walked to GZ and found a black cache container.
TNLN SL TFTC
Cheers

After a nice walk to GZ and a long frustrating search with Geo-daughter and Geo-grandaughter logging a DNF.
TFTC

quick ckeck after a couple of DNFs looks like Skippy must have taken this one so there is a bigger white container in its place now.

locked gates meant about a 500m walk to the location
searched everywhere, but with no luck even with Newbrezers helping
eventually gave up after a tiring search

Unfortunately with MoorhouseMob we searched and searched with no prize, we did find a snake on our long return to our vehicle, which just added to the pleasure of our nature walk.

Many eyes make for a quick search! And open gate makes for a quick walk [^]
Cheers, TFTC.

I feel for Parrot who walked the 500m. Luck for us that Trevor Fun noticed that the gate was unlocked. We had all but set of on the walk when he noticed it.

Clear skies from TeamAstro. (see pic).

Lovely section of bush. The cache just happened to be a drive by today as someone had left the gate unlocked. Thanks for an interesting cache. We enjoyed the experience.

No problem getting to this one today.
It was only a 500 odd metre walk and the water was no longer over the track.
My only problem was that my GZ was in the middle of the track.
Spent a bit searching the area and almost quitters luck as I was getting close to giving up.

Who put the gates up who who who.
Try to find another way in around the back way but there was a fairly good size swamp across the track will return when dryer
cheers for getting us this close

Not sure about the gates you should be able just to walk around these, I suspect they are only there so the forestry people can access this area for maintenace, otherwise you walk to the cache which is still covered by water.

Unfortunately, the track was flooded and not passable without either the desire to be calf deep in marsh water or a good pair of wellies! A beautiful spot, lots of bird life and a snake on the track on the way back - be careful!

Thanks for bringing us here - we'll come back and try again in the summer when there should be less water!

Thanks for the up date on this, yes it has been a wet year, but this area will soon dry out. The cache is water tight hopefully it will be safe and sound, I will check this out when it dries out, so in the meantime wellie are required to visit this site.

Took travel bug & will keep it moving with a new location next weekend.

Awesome place. Enjoyable walk to GZ

We saw an Echidna on the way in..

Some amazing bird life on the way up the path..

And the same or another echidna on way back..

Thanks for bringing us here.

Left "Woody" TB

Saw a couple of roos bouncing towards us when walking to GZ

Had a social gathering to attend out Glencoe way so decided to go for a FTF. Very disappointed to find I was second in line, and that the cache had been found two days previously but not logged. Them's the breaks!! It was very warm when I went to get this one, and now reading Shonkylogics entry, maybe I shouldn't have been diving my hand in so liberally. Thanks Pamir!
Cheers, Biggo.

A joint *FTF* with i, dax (who does still cache occasionally believe it or not!). Just a word of warning, we came across a tiger snake sitting in the middle of the path around 100m from the cache. It was reared up in the striking position by the time we saw it, and we quickly backed away.
