Not able to find.

DNF

Nope. Looked all over and around the new fence post at GZ with no luck.

fence replaced

Looks like this one has gone. Spread out my search area as per the previous finders direction however no luck.

Tried to look for it, but couldn’t find it unfortunately.

Thanks for the find. Fence has been replaced but the cache is still there

TFTC
Unfortunately the post has been replaced with a new fence, they left cache in open near by.

A bit more tricky

Log book damp hard to write on might need a better sealed log book holder

We found It

Travelling back to Mt Beauty after a day out we thought we’d grab this cache. A nice easy find. Couldn’t sign the logbook, it was too damp. Will need to be replaced. TFTC

A quick find whilst heading to Cooma.

Many thanks Gnarcrew for providing and maintaining this game piece for our enjoyment.

Logbook is a little wet. Amazing to be standing underneath this power and to be able to hear it as well.

Great stop and go, unfortunately the log was wet and unable to be written on. I didn’t have anything on my to replace the log sorry.

Found 27-10-2021

Easy find, some interesting stuff in be careful it’s really gross. Wash your hands after!!!

Great part of the world tftc

It took us some time but we found it

Found with daughter

Yeah nice easy one for the kids

Fabulous! Unique noise listening to electricity. Unfortunately it’s getting a little wet and might need a little maintenance.

Needs a book. Easy find. In a purple container.

Nice easy find

This would have been very peaceful except for the rather loud humming of the overhead power lines. Thanks for the cache.

Day five of Beechworth camping road trip with Papi4506, Geoturtle37 & RoamingHowie, working our way through various must-dos.
Very much a buzzing sound overhead as we find and sign the cache.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache, Gnarcrew

Day #3 for me of the cache adventure with OzHockeyChick, GeoTurtle37 and Papi4506. Today we are off to hopefully complete the 4X4 wherigo.

A quick stop on the side of the road. Park and grab and we were on our way

Thanks Gnarcrew for the cache.

As a member of TeamOZCAT logged in this cache, I am now logging as an individual predominantly to avoid any mistaken/unnecessary revisitation.
Under groundspeak guidelines, this logging is acceptable as I was indeed at Cache GZ in person in recent times. However, all cache owners have the right to delete logs as they see fit. Usually done to "Armchair loggers" or inappropriate texting.

If any cache Owner/s have questions regarding this matter, please feel free to contact.

TeamOZCAT logged finds when both Karen and Reg logged as individuals. This logging is exactly the same, only in reverse. Again, groundspeak acceptable.
For an unspecified period of time TeamOZCAT are no longer cache searching but remain active in our cache management and maintenance.

I sincerely thank all CO's and wish you all the best in your endeavours. Cheers Karen

Please excuse Generic log. Covid has placed many a restriction/s on many of us. Given a now larger border bubble, we noticed many new caches in Mt Beauty and as we had not been to the town as a team before, we took the opportunity to leave Albury/Wodonga and grab what we could at a leisurely pace on a beautiful day. Thank you CO for cache placement.

Beautiful part of the country cache log needs to be replaced as it’s a bit wet

tftc

Wow, strange sight in such a beautiful rural area. Wet in the container and log. TFTC Gnarcrew

Found on our way back to Mt Beauty after a great day paddling down part of the Mighty Murray. We are on our annual camp with friends but drove up to Albury to meet Canberra friends to tackle some of the caches on the river. It was a much harder day than expected due to the low and slow river but we were successful in only having one DNF of tjose that we attempted. This cache was a quick find and cache is in good condition though the log has been slightly damp at some stage. SL TFTC Gnarcrew

Quick grab passing through! Log book needs attention - mouldy and damp!

Tftc. Bit hard to write on paper.

#3780 Lots of cyclists along this stretch of road from Myrtleford this morning! Annoying and hazardous for all concerned with so many crests and curves and limited bitumen width along this section… On arrival to the zappy buzzy yards the cache search was not as annoying with it being spotted in the first place we looked . TFTC Gnarcrew.

Finally convinced the kids to leave the house - the promise of a pie from a town starting with B in Yackandandah was enough to get them moving. After a quick walk along the creek we then headed home via a different route to pick up a few caches that I had had my eye on for a while.
Continued on this road I had never been down and stopped at the buzzing switching yards - some serious power coming through here. Parked safely and walked to the obvious structure and found nothing. Looked at the hint and looked fine and there the cache was (though not as described). Log was damp but signable.

Heading to Chiltern to visit friends so why not knock off a few geocaches? This is the first for the day.

The lid was off the container and the log was a bit damp. Just managed to record our visit.

As luck would have it a lady just happened to be doing some fence maintenance right at GZ when we pulled up. Went off to another cache and came back. Log a bit damp but managed to put our name down. Tftc

Caching from Beechworth to Mt Beauty before hitting the slopes of Falls Creek TFTC



*Found with [Geooh GO](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobiltal.geoohGO)*

On our way to Falls creek and we thought we would do it a bit of Geocaching!

Needed to check on map to find it.

On our way to our Easter hike with Lochie and Roo

A quick pause on our journey eastward(ish); we are heading to Jindabyne for the night then an attempt on Mt Kosciusko tomorrow.

thanks Gnarcrew

One more cache found rapidly with TaurusSix

A quick find on my way home from climbing Mt Bogong and grabbing a couple of caches up on top of Victotia

Tftc. Its bussing.

Amazing

Found while talking to sheep. The log is slightly damp

Sub-stations! Best time to visit is when the air is moist (fog, mist/light-rain) or if there smoke around and then just listen to that HV crackle and transformers hum! Might even be able to light up a fluro tube, or yourself, if you're daft enough to wave it around under the HV lines!

Yet another easy find whilst taking in the scenery around here.

Also pretty easy

Time on my hands again. Decided on a loop Wodonga/Kiewa Valley/Yack Lovely days drive with some newly discovered roads. Thanks kindly CO for cache placement.

With the power lines buzzing overhead we set about looking for this one. Beware of Maggie!!! Fortunately I heard the flapping and had time to shelter behind the fence post before maggie struck. Quick grab, SL and made a hasty exit back to the car with all eyes on Maggie!! Tftc.

A day of caching with wackyweedos.. Our third cache for the day in the Dederang area. If I looked harder the first time we would've been out of there quicker and may of avoided the swooping magpie.. cache found, and log signed..

Nice easy find

Heading towards the alpine area for the weekend I thought I’d take the opportunity to stop and pick up this cache along the way.
I don’t know how many times I’ve attempted this cache over the years but every time I’ve come by there was always someone parked along the gravel, preventing me making the find unless it was in full view.
Today there was no one around and I was finally able to make the find.

Log damp.

After a fun 4WD through the local forest it was time to do some more sedate caches in the area with beckNmonts and McLookers on this lovely sunny afternoon.
A quick find exactly where the hint said it would be.
Thanks Gnarcrew for the placement here for us to enjoy.

No muggles today. The Tritonz made the find quickly and we were on our way. Thanks Gnarcrew.

As my graduate job was working at an electricity provider over west, I was very interested in the switch yards here. Thank you for forcing me to stop (of course we were forced to stop, there was a cache here!) ThE Tritonz made a quick find here. TFTC Gnarcrew

As I was returning from a motorcycle rally in Bethanga , I found and logged this cache. tftc.

Quick and easy find on the way back home after a week long conference at Howman's Gap, though the buzz from the lines overhead was a little disconcerting. Thanks for the cache Gnarcrew

Super aesy

Buzz buzzzzzzzz . Tftc

Thanks for cache

All buzzing. Good quick find.

So glad there was a cache here as I was hanging out for a smoko. A short walk to GZ and with spot on co ords and the cache was soon in hand . The countryside is looking very lush after all the rain. TFTH

Thanks for bring us to this interesting location, with the hum and buzz of electricity.

The cache was in good repair.

Travelling around Australia, today was moving day.

We took the back roads to Huon from Porepunkah which brought us right by your cache. Some great views today.

we located the cache but sadly it was broken. So we jumped into the back of the geocruiser and dug out a replacement. Cache as good as new now.
