No luck finding this one.HunterPS. The electric fence is turned on. 999HK didn't want to double check.
Couldn't locate, but the area was fairly overgrown with grass, I'll return at a different time of year to search again!
Thanks for this cache, great spot on the rail trail.By the way thats a great name for the cache.Kind regards,Nate.
We found a suitable place to park and then walked back for this one. Good to get an orphan off the map.
Our grandchildren have all gone back home and we have completed a number of appointments and tasks we had to do so it was time to do some caching.
We contacted our good mate Rebel Acts and it was decided we should journey to Sale and tackle the caches we have not yet found there. Sadly there were 4 still offline after the recent floods, but there were still plenty to keep us occupied. A Virtual, some multis and a range of traditionals with some bike riding thrown in.
The weather was great and there was the usual banter and fun to make a day well spent.
Thank you for your efforts in creating and maintaining the cache Jimmymaff.

found it, great spot and not where i thought it would be! replaced container working well
Took a stroll from Glengarry to this cache along the rail trail. it was a pleasant 2.5km walk each way. Wasn't sure what to expect at GZ as I know how sneaky jimmymaff can be. After the GPS settled down I was able to confirm GZ I wasn't sure what appropriate TOTT to use at this cache it appeared jammed- so I went for an unconventional log sign with no need to replace the cache. FYI Glengarry has some nice facilities set up. I can recommend eating at the pub bistro, you can even stay at the back they have 2 cabins or your welcome to park your self-contained van there just give them a call in advance. Likewise the park across the Rd also looks like a great place to set up for an overnight stay .lots of parking.
Late logging this find last Sunday 7/8. Pulled over and walked 1km to the cache to take advantage of a lovely day after watching some friends ride in the Toongabbie gymkhana. Once found, began cursing my lack of extraction tools but made use of what Mother Nature had to offer and soon had the log signed! Tftc!
Found at the first place we looked and had return to 25 minutes later.It was very difficult to retrieve and needed us to go back to the car to get a tott. As it's a 1.5 difficulty we have returned it to a position that does not need a tott.

Enroute to the NE the long way round but feel like a trip 'over the top' and seeing new country. Bit of a late log. TFTC and the FUN!
We are spending three days riding along the Gippsland Plains Rail Trail. We managed from Glengarry to Stratford. Having only one vehicle we had to do it all twice. A few caches added interest along the way. Thanks Jimmymaff for the series.
The lid's missing and the log is a pulp - time for a visit. Comment: a lolly tin was never a good idea here.

Found, looked past this as first as it didn’t look out of place but came back to it again
Found this cache fairly easily but requires maintenance.
Unfortunately the lid has rusted and has broken off and fell into an inaccessible place when extracting the cache. Without a lid the cache is open to the weather, and both the plastic bag and paper logs sheet are already in very poor condition and without a lid this cache will be totally waterlogged soon. When trying to replace the cache back on an angle that the rain won't go in, the cache fell downwards. Can still be just accessed though for replacement of the cache which is definitely required.

We spent a great weekend camping with the geokids on the Macalister River and finding geocaches around Glenmaggie, Heyfield and surrounds. Caches were signed/stamped between 25-27th, September. We found some really beautiful little spots around here! Thanks so much for placing and maintaining these caches this was a nice quick find next to a very Snazzy bridge.
Found with buffalo Briggzie, was so funny watching him trying to get the cache zap zap ️
So paranoid about grabbing this one, girlfriend was watching me and recording as well lol
Thank you for the cache, like the new bridge.
Love you mangomermaid

Bridge is being rebuilt there was 1 worker but he was to busy said hi and went back to work
We were in the neighbourhood to find a few caches. As we approached GZ we finally understood the name of the cache. I was wondering what AFL teams had to do with this cache - nothing. Anyway, cache was quickly found. TFTC Jimmymaff.

Out for a few early evening caches and saw this one. Didnt have courage to drive across that little bridge. Cool one though. Really a reminder of yesteryear isnt it? Cache was found in good condition. Tftc
Found it this time nine years after my first attempt, not nearly as much water around as then

Had a bike puncture on the rail trail 1Km from here, fixed it and now found the cache, one good, one bad.
Thanks for the cache.
Thanks for the cache.
Out and about enjoying some sight seeing and finding some caches too. This was a welcome walk to gz on a cooler day after our recent spell of hot days. Thanks for the cache.
Hi, the wood on this bridge has been replaced. It is quite possible the cache was taken with the original wood. Thanks.
We've passed by here a lot lately, today being the decider, so we got off the road as best we could,walking the 180 m to this cache.
A nice easy find here a we were soon walking back to the Geopatrol for the journey home.
Thanks for the placement here Jimmymaff.

Two old blokes on a ride found this easy (thank goodness) cache.
Thanks for making us ride the extra 3km from Glen we need the exercise.

Found by Peter and Paul on our huffing and puffing bike ride along the rail trail, beautiful day and location for a bit of a rest and a hunt.
On a week cycling trip with Geehi bushwalking club and Cool Riding group to East Gippsland rail trail. Day Two of the ride. Car Shuffle out of the way it was time for a coffee at Heyfield and then on our bikes to Traralgon.
Nearly missed this cache until someone said that it would be a good spot for a cache. And it was.
Thanks for the Cache.

*After a couple of nights in Traralgon, it was time to move further east, to be with family in Bairnsdale.*
We had to pull over to the side of the road and wait for a heavy shower to pass before we made our way to this one. Waited for a rain shower to pass before a nice quick find and we were on our way again.
Thanks Jimmymaff for placing caches for everyone's enjoyment.

Found with NoonaB, our 9th cache for the day, NoonaB had previously found this one, so she left me to search. A quick find and great spot, i really love the use of old pieces of the railway history along this trail. Thanks for the hide
Pretty easy find , little confusing on how to get down there but in the end a good cache
Belladekka found quickly, nice little spot with a very wave pool like bridge!! Thanks for the cache
Found at 11:28. Third of three finds today. Our short stay away from home finished and we were on our way back to Melbourne when we made a couple of stops along the way. We stopped the car just before the bridge on the main road and made our way to the GZ on foot. The cache was found easily. However, there was a sign nearby saying the the fence is electrified. If you have geokids with you, please keep them safe and away from the fence. I think the cache is in a bit of a dangerous location as it is too near the fence.
Whittlesea BUG is riding the Gippsland Plain RT over nighting in Maffra than returning.
A good excuse for picking up same caches.
Thanks for the cache

Found while trail riding on a wet day. The trail grit clags up the bike running gear.
A quick find today once we found a way in and crossed the wonky bridge. Thanks for the hide.
