It's now been 5 months since this was taken offline, it's been missing a lot longer than that. Nice spot for a cache, it should be freed up.
No cache, and also the sign in question has snapped off.
Not looking good!
Great spot though, glad I came here.
Thanks, Robmc.

Searched high and low for this one but couldn't find it. It appears to have been muggled!
Unfortunatly a scratch around under the birds and nearby bush didn't revealthe treasure , I will try again thanks any way - chaspereli
I'd never been on this side of the river before and we pleasantly surprised with what we found. A great little spot hidden away from the town and road. Took TB Bean Counter.
Thanks for the find.

A quick detour took me into some lovely sand dunes and opend up a great view of Port Fairy. No birds around today. Thanks chasperli.
I thought that I was in for a walk until I saw the access. I was the third to find this one today, and did I see another cache driving in as I left? Thanks chasperli for putting a cache here.
Found this one at 14:10 after Day 3 of the Great Victorian Bike Ride. Some welcome nice weather made for some very fine views back towards Port Fairy.
TNLNSL, although our BYO pen geocoin had a visit to mark the occasion. Thanks chasperli.

Had to come back to look for this one as there was a man relaxing on the back of a caravan pointing right at GZ. Did eight more caches and came back to find the cache without any muggles around!!! Took rock left dime. TFTC!!!
Found quite easily after I parked at the golf course and walked through the entire course not knowing that there was another enterenace to get this cache!
But enjoyed this one. TFTC

I was rather glad that the coords had been updated as this meant it was a really quick find on a cold blustery morning here.
A nice diversion off the main route into Port Fairy.

Distance From Old: 97.5 feet
thanks o cholio for getting back to me with the right coords. hopefully the hunt will be easier from now on.
As per the other logs, the coords are about 30m out. We took new ones, try these: S38 21.748, E142 16.260.
Found today with Dugcholi. So many muggles! So much water! It was very difficult to get the cache back, but once the muggles had dispersed it was fine. I'm adding a 'Needs Maintenance' log for the coords - which were 30m out, although the hint actually made it possible to find the cache. TFTC chasperli.
We came here today with Super Pop. As we pulled into the car park area we found most of it underwater from the recent rains. We managed to park high and dry and headed off to gz. While searching around we kept our eyes open for whales but there was nothing obvious today. After looking around where the GPSr had us for a little while in the drizzling rain we decided to decode the clue and the cache was found a short time after quite a distance from where the GPSr was telling us to search.
Thanks chasperli for the cache, the views and a good clue

This cache relies heavily on the encrypted clue, as we also found that GZ was about 30 m away from posted coordinates. TFTC though...always good to have a challenge!
Fuzzy found it with friends Melbermans. It was a terrible day caching. We looked for 5 and this was the only one that we found. It was freezing, rainy and windy, but nice when we found the cache. TNLN TFTC
Melbermans & friend (soon to be keen geocacher) Max had a sad day of caching today. It was freezing, wild, rainy, windy weather & after being unsuccessful with another 3 today we found this one. TNLN GOYA

thanks maccamob for noting the coordinates you find are right. we will check them and update accordingly. meanwhile i am sure you will find the cache, also using the hint.
Found by Mary & David at 0905. Only another week of autumn left, but here the wind is blowing from Antarctica. Great view of one of our favourite towns. Ages ago we had contemplated retiring here, but the prices have since gone through the roof. We also found the coordinates to be about 30m off, so plotted our own for comparison. Our thanks to chasperli.
2009-05-23 12:03 An easy find, but only after reading the hint (I've been here before).
Like the previous finders my GPS was pointing to a spot about 30m away.

Found after an extensive search.
Enjoyed the find as this was my first FTF cache with friend carrots3.
Not sure about the coordinates, as two of us found GZ to be at least 30Meters away.
