Needed to bring back hubby to help look in all the hidey spots for this one after the kids and I had no luck and he found it! My advice for this one is don't be shy get in there and fossic!
On our way to Jokers Flat for a camping week with Biggles of Oz and Mrs Biggles and we stopped by here for lunch and of course to pick up the cache. After eating our picnic lunch we headed over to find the cache. After searching high and low without success we did have to get some help from Biggles of Oz who had previously made the find. TFTC.
Trust your geosenses! Last night in the gathering twilight I tried to be clever and look at the Gallery images for clues. It appears now that all photos before 2017 refer to a different cache container - as a result we were “tuned” into an object that is no more, and were unsuccessful.
Returning the next day, after a bit of rummaging, something popped out of the shadows and indeed it was the cache! I’d been so close the night before, had picked up a similar object and missed the real deal nearby!

The Richos and I looked for this but some info in the cache listing is no longer correct and it lead us astray. Found the cache in the end.
After a bit of searching between the rain the xache was eventually found and logged.
Our thanks to Bogonghazy for another great cache in an area for a photo.

Great excuse to revisit Mount Beauty and take in the lake view. Great hide, took us a while to get it!
Tftc - certainly didn't come easy...
With Hawkeye and Lonewolf not with us had to get help from "Driving Mrs P" - he found it eventually and it wasn't exactly in plain view but coords were pretty accurate
This certainly is a gorgeous spot

I've been coming up here for over 30 years but never really coming "here" - meaning the Mt Beauty township (rather than picking up alpine diesel mix or watching the snow bunnies - now nannies - at the local pub, that is!) so it was a nice change to actually look around the town. The Kiewa Valley with the views of the mountains has got to be one of my favourite places to visit/be in. And a cache is here too!! (Be still my beating heart . . !)
Sneaky hide.

Could not find this one. Looks like an empty hole where the gps indicates it should be.
Happy after several visits - new cache is a new one for me and I love it! Thanx Bogonghazy
No luck today. There has been some work done around here lately. My be it has been moved?
There's a lot of work going on in Mt. Beauty isn't there?
I have to lie. I didn't go straight to this cache. I got sidetracked by the Mt. Beauty Fire Station. I hear their truck is a beauty.....
OK, so the humour is crud. However I did get diverted and had a good look at their running track. How long since Mt. Beauty ran in the championships? Looks like a while from the state of the track.
Perhaps the workers doing up near the lake could lend a hand and do it up for them? Then, maybe not.
I pulled up here and the place was a hive of activity. Alas, the activity was happening away from me which is good as a cacher!
I soon spied a location I suspected that was the cache. A quick reconnaissance mission confirmed that this was indeed out of place. Between the young mother walking along texting and the old bloke in pajamas who looked like he had just gone to get the paper there was just enough time to grab the cache and log it.
No worries.

Found by Team Ladava on a day trip to the delightful town of Mt Beauty during our Bright R&R break.
Wonderful view from this location. Probably the best of the day and the facilities nearby are first class.
We had been muggled out of this one earlier in the day so returned a little later and the better half of Team Ladava made the find.
A favourite from Team Ladava

Fifth find for the day and first one that we might have had to dnf'ed. But luck was on our side, we had to keep waiting for a couple of backpacking muggles who sat around for a while. I had to get the kids out of the car to give me a bit of muggle cover but the bushes did most of the covering for us as we found this sneaky hide.
Thanks Bogonghazy for a good little hide.

This is our second time finding this cache. The kids wanted to check that it was still here and we loved this one so much the first time. Thanks again.
Found during a one-week roadtrip, caching around Mt Buffalo and surrounds (very wide surrounds ).
Again I missed the lake views, so a return trip in daylight will be sooner rather than later.
I was thinking this was going to be a lengthy search in the dark, but fortunately I soon spotted something out of place. Log signed, and the cache was then rehid properly in the intended fashion.
Thanks, bogonghazy.

Loved the holder, my favorite by far, it took me a little and restful time to locate it. Well done
A great hide. This was the first find of my friends geo kids. They were very pleased! As new locals of Mount Beauty it's great to see the Geocaching going on TFTC
In Mount Beauty visiting a friend, so time to find a couple of caches, This was a quick find on a quiet day in the park. TFTC
Introduced friends to geocaching in the dead of night. Wasted a bit of time until bumped into it. TFTC
#2202 - found by B on early morning walk. Looked last week and did not find but this morning there it is. Could not believe we missed it last week, must not had had the geogoggles on.
Staying in Tawonga for a couple of days , we searched around for some quick grabs - this was one of them. TN, Left a sticker and a badge, SL. Thanks! (no TBs in the cache)
Second try at this one and found this time... Such a great place to spend a day
Found it after previously dismissing it as something else. I didn't have a pen though. Thanks.
15:45 Relatively quick find of a container which was quite in context with other items hereabouts. TFTC
Had a quick search but no luck today. Quite a lot of muggles out enjoying the weather on this beautiful Good Friday. Thanks anyway
On a long weekend caching around albury and district.
Found with Megs_q
Great views
Thanks bogonghazy

Easy find , replaced a toy with another . No trackers inside yet 2 are shown to be in log , please log any that taken to new destination in future .
There was a bit of time difference from the last log. So happy to put or name on the log. Few people down at the poundage but them didn't seem to worry the. Geohubby and I are planning to cache while we can on our holiday TFTC
#1177 Popped over the gap with our muggle friends and the geohounds for lunch by the pondage. Lucky for us the cache was found by The Moli's when we turned up to gz so it was a very easy find TFTC Bogonghazy
TFTC Bogonghazy & Forrest Boys- seriously clever hide- loved it xxx thanks Eloise @ The Plaza.
No trackables here though

Yep. Very clever! We couldn't find the old one last time we were here so thanks for replacing it.
[:(!] When you have nothing to do, what better way of filling in the day is to going caching, and this was one of them, parked the geoKa as close as possible to GZ and walked in from there, on arrival at GZ the cache was located and in a matter of minutes it was in hand.
I like it
Another one of the list

#1238 - Nice little find, expecting the worst when we turned up on our trusty steeds. But did not start looking in the obvious and when considering a nearby infrastructure M thought we should check something else that did not make sense. Whoa, - well done M-haven't seen one of these for a long time. Worthy of a favourite point for the CO effort on the cache. Dropped off some small TBs from Scotland early next morning.

I really liked the concept of this cache. Great hide and one of my favourites tftc
Found this one a while ago but forgot to log it! Love Mount Beauty and only a short walk from the airfield where I spent the day:) tftc
very smart hide. I was checking the bolts for the cache but no good. very happy when found.
Third one for the day on a brief escape from camp with friends. Masses of mugglers down around the play area and the waters edge, but no-one paying attention to me. One of the very clever camos I have seen so will award a fav. Soon had cache in hand, signed and returned. Thanks for the cache bogonghazy - another of your caches I have found this trip.
This was my Welcome to Mount Beauty cache today
I parked nearby and strolled over to the lakeview.
In a peaceful spot, in a peaceful place, I found no signs of a cache in any obvious place [:o]
I checked the clue, and sat down to think about it's cryptic meaning.
An idea popped into me head
And a few minutes later I spied the cache as promised !!
Excellent hide, these always fool me
TFTC and the views.
Now ... back to the geomobile to unload the pushbike

Many thanks to the generosity and time taken by Alansee for getting these up and going again
All was quiet here when I arrived. Seeing the logs I had contacted the CO and knew what to look for. It wasn't there allright! I had come prepared and just happened to have the right thing to put out. Almost forgot to sign the log too!.
Cache is now available again.
