Found it
Thanks

on the way to portland...thank you for show me....

We had another short rest on our tour to Adelaide. Thank you for hiding this cache!

After some Muggles have enternd their Car again we could easyly find and log. TftC!

Making way for new hides.

Great view. Log book full

Whne we arrived at GZ, there was a truckie making some adjustments to his B-double milk tanker. Initialy we thought he may be a muggle problem, but he was so engrossed in what he was doing that he at least ignored us and possibly didn't even know we were there. We started to head off to GZ but on the way saw something familiar. Closer inspection revealed the cache with our GPS units indicating that GZ was still 12-13m away. The cache and contents were in good condtion. Before driving into Portland, we took time to enjoys the view across the bay p very enoyable. Thanks for the cache jqc3.

Saw what I thought might be the possible hiding place but continued to follow the arrow around in a circle several times before returning & finding the cache. [:o)]

Found on our "Making Memories" Tour of mainland Australia.

Today we explored Portland and surrounds using geocaching as our guide.

We discovered many hidden gems and this was one of them. Thanks for bringing us here and for the cache.

Found! After our great stay in Portland, grabbed this one on the way home. Took a short while to locate the right spot.

TFTC. Nice views and easy find. Book needs replacing as there is no room for signatures

Visiting Mogni so it was a quick drive around for 9 early morning caches before breakfast. Now it was time to drop a car off at Casterton, so of course just had to stop and get 4 more caches on the way. After lunch at Casterton it was time to do some Vic caches.

I would rather be Earnest. Nice views as I sat down to sign the log after locating this cache. Thanks jgc3.

First find for me and my brother. Took nothing, left something, signed logbook.

Aha!

Another cache on our tour through Australia! TFTC

Sensational Portland view from behind the civic guide.

Awesome view. Quick find

Another easy find! Beautiful view!

Caching in the rain again
It never seems to stop! Quick find lovely view through the rain. Tftc

Nice view. As an ex-Customs Officer it's always good to see ships waiting at anchor...

Not such a nice view today but has to wait for muggles to move on. All is in order. TFTC

Hints were great

Found with Minnes on our Roadtrip Holiday!!

First find for the roadtrip tftc!!

Sorry jgc3 for the generic log but I'm trying to catch up on my logging, I currently have over 1000 to log before hitting some powertrails in the US after the block party next week. As always I enjoy the hunt whether I'm solo or with some of my caching or muggle friends. Thanks to those who have accompanied me to make the day more pleasurable and many thanks jgc3 for placing this cache.

Quick find..nice view!;)tftc!

Kids fought over this one! Easy find

Easy!

Very easy find!

quick find, tftc!

Too easy

Great lookout even on this windy day! Thanks

Easy one

#594 - what a great view! And so sad to see the 'for sale' signs - especially for the house on the other side of the road! Thanks for the cache, didn't take long!

I tried to find a number of caches today. But it really wasn't my lucky day. I missed 6 out of 11. But not this one. It was rather a quick find. TFTC.

Frank will be disappointed if this view is lost. Stoped here before to view a great panorama of the town and sea. Thanks JGC3 for your work here and the bananas hope that the view lasts. Great spot. Would have loved to have left something.

Quick find. TFTC

Cache lying on ground in the open
Put back under rocks what looked like the hide, but may not be original spot gps a bit off

A quick find after tea!

Quick easy find in our trip back to Portland to go shopping at aldi on our way to a party!

Stopped to check the view. Geo friends said they found a cache here some years ago, so quickly downloaded coordinates to iphone. Quick easy find. TFTC

Amazing view! What is IN those massive ships! Surely there is more than just wood chips? Cars? Amazing! How many people do they require to man them? We were fascinated by them! We actually got lunch and just sat down closer to the docks watching to see even a small bit of movement during loading / unloading! tftc! Such an interesting place!

Beautiful view..

nice view of Portland.

Great view of the bay and port

Myself and my girlfriend were on the way home from grocery shopping, being very new to geocaching I thought we'd have a look - found in a few mins, small container had one swap in it and a replacement pad to sign it inside - cheeky hiding spot
Had no pen in the car (something I will change shortly)
TFTC

Found it ! Great view. Left a present

Found with Tam.

Container was much smaller than listed.

Done

Nice quick stop & grab. That's if there is no muggles taking a break in carpark. SL tftc

??

Nice quick roadside cache, the hint was quite helpful. After the find, while setting a temporary log, I hit the check email button on my phone by accident. I received notification of a recently listed cache, hardly an hour old and only 6 Km away. Drove away hoping for an upcoming ftf. tnln sl tftc

Overcast day windy and raining... lucky GC not far from car. Quick find. TFTC

The views this morning were spoilt only by the big billboard put there by the developers.
Why anyone would want to build in this exposed, windswept place is beyond me [:o]
There is a nice view with a large cargo ship at anchor from Frank's place [^]
And while we are being Frank, the 400ml Sistema container seems to have shrunk a bit
TFTC and views

Found while enjoying a few days down Portland way before everyone heads back to work and school. We found this one on our return from Warrnambool for the day and ran into a new team who were looking for their first cache. I hope they find a few more.

TFTC

Found on our way from Portland to Peterborough. Quick find, but a few steps nearer the parking than expected. TFTC.

Found at 10:57 AM GAFF1 at a distance of 13 metres, but fortunately there are not many places to look for it. The sky was clearing and the sea was becoming a lovely light blue.
Thanks jgc3,

Found this cache on the way to the Big Little Event. A good excuse to stretch the legs after the long drive. TFTC jgc3

Find #1642 at 1350 Hrs & 9th of 37 today

On our way to the Big Little Event @ Nelson along with my brother (Happy Pant's) Stopped by and made a nice straight forward find... Muggle asleep in their car & never noticed we had been there... Great views of Portland... Next time I come through this might all be housing!!!

A great spot for a cache...

Thanks for the cache...

Took: Nothing Left: Nothing Signed Log

- Cache Condition - Fine

Quick find with friends J+J.au... Really enjoying the trip, company and the great locations the caching is showing us. SL..TFTC

Been past here many times but never stopped, what great views towards Portland. Muggle sleeping in his car nearby gave us no problems. TFTC SL @1:50

Drive by find with nearby interstate muggles more interested in working out where they are going. Not sure Frank would be happy with the views to soon be replaced by cliff top housing.

Found quick had to make out we were taking pictures to find this one.

Quick find, now we going to Nelson, for theEvent, Portland has had some great cacher, cheers

TFTC

Great views of Porto. Lucky no muggles were around.
