A nice quick find. A shame the camping spot is now closed off.

Out and about today with Rebel Acts on a loop that took us out through South Gippsland and down to the coast before returning home via Yarram.
We traveled through some undulating farmland with some great views before hitting the coast with some walks along the beach.
Some roads we had never traveled before and others not for quite some time.
There were a variety of hides and cache sizes, it being a tough and long day with a number of DNFs before getting home well after tea time.

Thank you for your efforts in creating and maintaining the cache FlyingPigSquadron.

Found by Rebel Acts

Out and about with Ski Pair traveling the roads less traveled on another tour of South Gippsland, We saw some great locations from the hills to the beach, we had a great day out.

This is one of the caches found today. A nice spot to stop, pity the local council wont let you camp here.

Logs Signed as RASP Rebel Acts and Ski Pair

Thanks FlyingPigSquadron for the cache.

We decided to go for a day trip drive to Port Welshpool/Port Albert with the kidlets from home in Melb.

It's been a while since we have done much caching so we thought we would do a few today to help break up the long drive.

This was our first for the day.

A lovely little spot. With the heavy rain we have had of late the ground was a little damp, and I ended up slipping and landing heavily on my posterior - lucky I have a reasonable amount of padding. The rest of plowfive that had stayed in the car thought it was very very funny..

Thanks for the cache FlyingPigSquadron.
 
29-Jan-22
A quick find as we headed back to camp.
Arriving at gz I had deja vu sure I had already found this cache. I then realized I had been there with a fellow cacher years ago when I was just a muggle. Great to see cache still in play and I can now find it as a cacher.

Thanks FlyingPigSquadron

30/09/2018 - 11.44am - Find No. 969 - 2nd of 3 finds - with Non-geo-son & non-geo-grand daughters.
NGS decided it was a good day to take the girls for a trip to Port Albert after he'd visited there for work earlier in the week to do some new areas for his Pokemon/Ingress bits while I did some finding.
The weather was cloudy with a bit of a breeze that was a bit chillier off the water while we were at Port Albert. No rain though - so all good for us.
We'd managed to find a little strip of beach at Port Albert so that pleased the girls. We did lots of wandering & looking, the girls were very taken with the white stones in the plant pots outside the restaurant entrance .... I think they all stayed in the pot, with none wandering into pockets. Big Grin The biggest girls nodded off a fair bit earlier than the smaller one on our trip home but they were both still awake for our last 'hunting/finding' for the day.
Our second stop had us had us at information boards that attracted bigger nggd attention & then littler one too. There were also Pokemon/Ingress opportunities as well as some more exploring & of course the chance to find a cache Smile ... wins for everyone again! While NGS & girls did their thing I wandered off to do my finding bit & was pleasantly surprised to find a vehicles & tents nearby parking were unattended or occupants not visible & this again allowed hunting without fear of being seen. Cache was spotted, retrieved, log signed, sealed, photographed & admired by nggd's from closer or further away before being returned as found. A bit more of the 'When are we going to get to the beach?' 'The sooner you get into the car the sooner we'll be at the beach!' Thanks for the hunt Smile Sorry for the late log.

We were surprised how many people were camping here and of course there were a couple directly in full view of the tree the cache was hidden in. I just braved it and did my business there hidden by the huge, magnificent, bedraggled trunk. Thanks for bringing us to this spot we usually don’t stop at because it’s barely an hour drive from home.
 
Over from nz travelling from Sydney to Melbourne grabbing a few along the way with HKBrom94 and crew.
Parked up for the night 30m from gz but phone then led me a merry dance until I finally found spotted IG on may second sweep tftc

We had decided to spend the night at this lovely rest spot and were one of quite a few vehicles staying for the night. In the morning it was a good start for the day to be able to find a cache in the area and even with so many other campers around it was no problem. Many thanks to FlyingPigSquadron for placing this cache and giving us another smiley on our caching map.

This was beautiful, sunny morning. 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. We 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 FlyingPigSquadron for your cache*
