We are on a caravanning trip around Australia seeing the sights and finding a few caches along the way. Today we called through town and looked at the murals and artwork on display and getting this cache. I worked out the coordinates we went there and I thought this is not right double checked the coordinates a d found I had miss typed the coordinates so headed to GZ. This place made more sense per the description a bit of a search nothing. Another search and the cache was in hand.Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache
On our travels we found ourselves in yarram and took the opportunity to grab this cache, after a nice quick calculation we strolled through this beautiful park full of history to grab the cache, thanks for placing it
Had GZ solved ages ago but twice when I went to find there were huge muggle groups at GZ. Today very quite and able to make the find. Thanks to greynomads for constructing this cache and to Poiter.H for keeping it going.regardskbucky
Out with the "Girls", wandering around after dinner. Found it with no Muggle presence. TFTC. Beautiful full moon.
Got it. Thanks! I had trouble with the coordinate maths, but I knew I had seen the plaque around so hunted around until I found it. Thanks.
After a nice meal fish and chips I was just be able to finish the math and get to the right spot. Thanks.
While attending a square dancing weekend at Yarram, we took time to out to check some caches around the area. Picked up the first lot of clues and then took a drive to next area. Took time out for lunch and then set of. What a lovely walking path this is. Got to the next stop and had not read all info. PAF and they steered us right. Picked up the clue here and then moved on. Nice easy find. Cache in great condition. Thanks for our journey.
Grabbing a few while traveling though this area. Grabbed the info needed to be able to come up with some likely co-ords. Approached GZ and came up with a nice little log book appropriate for the location. Given fav for something different.Thanks Poiter.h for placing the cache and doing the maintenance needed, so we can find this cache.
Found on a road trip along the Coast Road from Melbourne to Sydney with a few detours along the way. Thanks for the cache Poirter.h!
Down in Yarram for the weekend, camping nearby with friends. Thank you for the quick multi - what a great amount of street art here! TFTC
Found with icw. I admit to solving the GZ co-ordinates online. Finding the cache was a little more challenging, but we soon found it.
Coords are bang on. Everything is good at GZ. Watch out for that water deluge..lolTFTC TFTHSL * dronnord * ...\*""*.,,.*"",..,*"",..\
Made the trip down to this beautiful neck of the woods for a great event put on by Gippsland Pride Initiative, sadly pouring rain but that didn't dampen enthusiasm took a few moments out to wander the park and pick up this prize
Its anniversary time and this year its GMelbs turn to choose the secret destination which is Port Albert (in the hope there may be an Aurora) After lunch we headed into Yarram to have a look at all the amazing Murals whilst also doing this multi. Info gathered, we set off to GZ and after a bit of a hunt and a sneaky peek at the hint, the cache was found in this pretty little spot. TFTC greynomads - GJMMelb
Now the sheer quantity of text was a little alarming at first but then noticed that the multi sums seemed right up my alley. Heading to gz as cairns are also up our alley!! Beautiful spot on a beautiful day!Now trolls and bridges go hand in hand so three we found of these. LuckyBest bridge find yet. All good hereOff to the next one TFTC
I’m staying in Yarram for a couple of days while on Birdlife Melbourne photographic weekend. A late afternoon find. The container wasn’t quite where I expected to find it but all good. Thanks to greynimads for the cache.
It’s road trip time. With plenty of places out east that have yet to be explored, OzHockeyChick and I set off to see some sights in Gippsland.
What a great park with an awesome sized gazebo area. Relatively quiet today so it didn’t take long to find.
Thanks Poiter.h for adding this cache to the worldwide collection for us all to enjoy.

A lovely town to explore today while completing this multi. The murals are brilliant setting off Yarram a treat, they are even in the progress of painting the water tower. There were a few people passing gz so we had to wait a little before going in for the find.
Thanks Poiter.h for the multi placement in such a lovely location.

Finally rectifying this previous sad face.. An early morning search amonst the trolls while no one was about. Still took me a few minutes but eventually ca he was located, signed and replaced.
Thanks for the catch and the puzzle. Found it quick in the late afternoon. Just like where it was found, I overcome many difficult situations by ‘overcoming’ them with rigidity. Sorry no pen. Thought about using my laser eyes, but it would have destroyed the cache.
Sometimes there are just too many muggles. Today seemed to be the day that everyone in Yarram was either walking their dogs here or playing on the playground. Another time perhaps.
Gathered info required found rock - followed hint had a systematic thorough search with gloves by feel and with phone camera search both sides even took a partial dip...but could not locate...went off to have a sulk in the mushroom garden.
Had a good look for 5-10 minutes at the specified coordinates but no luck. Will try again another time
Out caching with Adventure's of Tillie
After a silly mistake with the co-ords we renavigated to the correct area and found it quiet quickly

No trouble finding the spot but many muggles prevented a really good look. 5 mins of looking came up empty handed. Thanks anyway
Worked out and found after a short search with tassie expat while exploring this nice area.
Geocache-sanitise-repeat. frmen1 and I decided that a drive to Yarram was today's outing. We checked this geocache out after looking at the nearby street art honouring emergency workers. That second person has been suspected of taking credit for many discoveries. Even declared himself a Count! A gorgeous garden. TFTC
A few days of caching and golf in South Gippsland had me meandering along this way.
The last one today as it is starting to get dark and I need to get to the motel for something to eat. Got the required numbers and off to GZ. A quick find in this lovely park. Thanks greynomads.

quick on ground in nice garden with all facilities including bbq. I msy suggest an additional magnet is in order. the existing sticky is weak.
This is a nice quick multi which I did when staying in the nearby caravan park. Good spot for a cache.
While staying in town and this being the only cache we set out to find. Co ords done and we ended up in a place that matched the hint however there was no sign of the cache even after Mr80 checked both sides etc. The surrounding garden has had a very recent upgrade with all new mulch included also a bit hesitant as a sign states snakes had been seen in the garden.
A great stop to eat some lunch and let the kids run around for a bit. Quickly got the coords and went search. We were a bit thrown as the container is not what was mentioned in the hint. No matter though, the logbook was soon in hand. As were kids shoes since they were having a little splash about.
I don't leave Melbourne nearly enough but it's always nice to explore new towns, and they always have pretty gardens - Yarram is no exception.
Once I worked out GZ, I made my way there where it was a quick find - it's rather deserted here today. Thanks!

Replaced with permission from the CO. Although we have replaced it is now not magnetic so it is sitting next to the metal right at GZ. Thanks for allowing us to claim the find and do some maintenance for you.
Staying in the area for the weekend and this was another on the list to find. Thanks to cathylmorgan for contacting the CO allowing us to rehide another container as the original container was nowhere to be seen. Find 1400 for me
On my return leg from the beach home. I used the camera for this one but came up with nothing. Took a long time for the GPS to settle. Tftc
Last time I was here the cache was missing but today was a quick find thankfully signed and replaced...TFTC
Found after getting the runaround from the phone navigation. I knew I had the coordinates right, so waiting for the phone to settle, the cache was in hand. SL TFTC
Another nice multi in a lovely setting, even though it was trying very hard to rain. Hubby did the honors of getting down low and found the cache. SL TFTC
In the area for a work appointment that ended nice and early so I went a-geocaching! After finding a nearby traditional I figured i had time for this multi. Heading for WP1 though and i started to feel like my personal safety might be at risk with a roudy bunch of teens claiming the area so wandered off course to kill time. Happily the course picked led to gz! Nice quick find and off I went without rousing teenage attention. TfTC greynomads!

Another early morning, we were on the road and keen to explore the towns along the South Gippsland Highway. After stopping in Yarram for lunch we were able to gab this little multi quickly. Thanks for the cache greynomads.

During the International Geocaching Day event at this park, M of Maccamob and I decided to hunt for this lovely and informative Multi Cache. The required information was found at the sadly defaced cairn with almost half the letters missing. Luckily it was still easy to work out what I needed. Then the maths section where numerals replaced the letters till I had a likely set of coordinates. A short walk through the delightful park with many points of interest brought us to GZ and the cleverly hidden was discovered. Another Angus McMillan cache completed.
Hurrah can finally get rid of the blue sad face. Quick find while waiting for our burgers to cook. Tftc
New cache container relocated to a new location quite close to original spot.

Cache had gone missing. A new cache container and log book has been placed near to where the previous cache had been. All to to go again. Difficulty rating increased and Hint changed.

We shall temporarily disable this cache until we are able to get down there and verify what is happening.

Cache needs checking as i do not believe it is still there. Would love to make this a smiley face but have had no luck on numerous occasions.
Worked out the final coordinates easy enough and found the second memorial. Had a look around and tried the hint but there are only a few places that the hint applies to. I checked these areas and extended the search a bit to no avail. Sadly I’ll have to come back for this one another day.
Found gz. Searched and searched while trying to not raise suspicions from swimmers. No luck.... hope it hasn't gone. Will look again another day
#1350 Day 3 of the 2017 Great Vic Bike Ride from Wilson's Prom to Trafalgar. (still catching up on my logs and it is almost Christmas!) After watching Charlie Chaplin in "The Kid" with live piano accompaniment at the Regent Theatre in Yarram we decided to try this multi before returning to our tent. The final cache location was easy to work out but finding it was not as easy. After waiting for a bus to depart we scouted the area for some time with our bike lights pausing to let a few muggles pass by. Almost ready to give up when we tried one last spot. Finally success! TNLNSL. TFTC greynomads.
We found this one whilst waiting for our fish and chips on the way back home. What a beautiful little park. Thanks for bringing us here. TFTC
A quick find today with hubby and the geokids as we continue our Gippsland holiday adventure. So many stunning places to visit! This was a quick find picked up on our way from Paynesville to Toora. We stopped for lunch and the kids had a play too so they were happy. Love a nice way multi. Many thanks for the cache.
