Might be gone and I am not driving 3 hours to come and find it in place like the last 2 times people couldn’t find it.
I had a good look then read previous logs. Went back for another go but no cache. I know where I think it should be but there is nothing there. I will watch this one
Heading into NSW on a relaxing few days away sightseeing and caching, not trying big note ourselves on what caches we get or don’t get while here, but to enjoy each others company.
Thanks to the CO for the placement here.

During our two-week holiday in Australia, we had a nice road trip driving from Sydney to Melbourne. These three days were super cool, as we had the opportunity to experience a little bit of the world-famous Australian "outback", and made encounters with many animals of different kinds, including a face-to-face encounter with a hungry kangaroo
On the road, there was not so much time to stop for geocaches unfortunately, given the long hours we had to drive, but in any case we managed to find a few.
This was one of them. We stopped in Orbost just for a couple of hours to have lunch and have a rest in the park, although everything was made much more difficult by the infinite number of flies.. How do people stand that here?? It drives you insane! Anyway, after lunch I went on a short walk to look for this cache. It was not super easy at first to find the correct way to the cache, but it worked at the end. The actual container was then found very quickly. Thanks a lot for this hide!

After dinner at the RSL Club I wandered down to the main street then along to this cache. Thanks Bounty Trackers
I sought out some geocaches while on a six-day trip with others from Pedal Power in Canberra to East Gippsland to ride the East Gippsland Railtrail. I found 32 caches plus I collected two travel bugs to share the journey. The weather was fine and mild, the scenery delightful and the company pleasant, making for a great trip.
This cache was a reasonably straightforward find, being right on the coordinates. What an interesting piece of history! Thank you Bounty Trackers for installing and maintaining this cache.

The long weekend was here and it was time for fitzy_1965 and I to head down to Vic in the geo-unit for an epic geomission 
We had a great time camping, cruising around admiring the beautiful scenery and nabbing LOTS of caches! A great weekend of quality caching all round! 
Parked up the geo unit then made the short stroll to GZ, passing quite a good collection of some kids Tonka trucks
We searched high and low for this one for ages until I spotted it in the grass. Looks like someone, perhaps a muggle, had found it and then tossed it away. Signed then replaced back to the logical spot.
Thanks for the hide, Bounty Trackers

14707. Found during a long weekend caching run down through the Bombala / Genoa / Mallacoota / Cann River / Orbost / Lakes Entrance / Bairnsdale regions with specimenX.
A long weekend caching plan was hatched with specimenX to head down to Victoria for 4 days of caching and camping. Had a fantastic time driving around enjoying the scenery, camping at various locations, plus the huge number of caches to be found. Day Two dawned and we had survived the rain. Packed up and hit the road. Next find of the day. Looked for a few minutes in some 'obvious' spots, then it was found just lying in the grass ! Signed the log, replaced the cache where we think it should be, and headed off to the next one.
Thanks to all the COs for placing their caches !!
TNLN - TFTC !!

Quick find with the family after spending a few days in Marlo and Mallacoota. Fascinating history. Many thanks for the cache.
A quick and easy find in the dark as we wind our way from Melbourne to Canberra the long way around picking up some stray map zones for a challenge cache as we go. Being dedicated caches we never take the shortest direct route to anywhere, except the next cache of course . We were shadowed all the way from the car to GZ by 2 local youngsters, Jimmy and Molly. I thought that was going to be a major problem from a stealth point of view until Jimmy piped up"I wonder where the geocache is?" LOL I don't think we are the first cachers they have seen. Log signed and cached returned to it's hide we left the 2 next gen cachers to their games while they wait for the next visitors. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.

Thanks.
Thanks.
Found on a one month road trip around Australia. Sorry for the generic log. TNLNSL TFTC
Nice flooded history.
When we were heree last time, I was concerned that access to the pump house itself may be needed, but I trusted the coordinates a little more today and ended up with the cache in hand.
Thank you for the fun.

After trying to find this cache on the 20th august, which turned into a proposal and not being able to find the cache. We have both returned and are happy to say we Found it. This will always be a special cache for us thank you. For your information she did say yes
Actually we just stopped here in this town to grab something to eat.
And while munching our pizza piece, we walked to the pump.
Box was laying below in the grass...

Found by Mary & David at 1450. A wonderful old structure that tells such a story. Amazing to think of so much water here in 1971. Our thanks to Bounty Trackers.
Picked up on a warm spring day on our way back to Melbourne. Had spent the night in Orbost & this morning we drove to Marlo to see the mouth of the Snowy river. Now making our way back through Orbost to get back on the highway this one popped up on the radar & we couldn't resist. TFTC
After not looking at the compass and deciding to jump the fence, I soon learned that I didn't need to get so close to the water marker. Great view.
Nice quick find on our way home from our day trip to Orbost.
Thanks Bounty Trackers

T & S & LittleDragonFoot & PinkPrincess found. Very convenient concrete pad for kneeling. Took seahorse. Left bear. TFTC.
We did a caching run from Lakes Enrance to Marlo and this was one of 27 caches we found. Amazing to see how high the flood waters have been over the years. TFTC
Took us a bit of hunting around - nice hide. In Marlo for Easter, enjoying the caches while we're here. TFTC.
Auf unserer heutigen Strecke zwischen Sale und Orbost schnell gefunden. TFTC and regards from two swiss cachehunters
The business close by was busy so we parked down the road and walked up to GZ. Funny i thought it was somewhere else but i decided to obey the needle and soon found the cache.
Thanks for the another historic cache.

Our 4th cache for the day. This was another Tricky one! Interesting bit of flood history on Orbost as well
After spending the night in Orbost we were spending the time to find a few caches as we are only going as far as Lakes Entrance today. We parked at the nearby facilities and walked around to this one. A quick find to geoD before we spent some time admiring the area.

Found on our trip to Mallacoota. After parking near the old building, we walked over to GZ for a pretty quick find. Awesome view of the pump house - I love the high flood markers on the house! Great view of the river as well. TFTC Bounty Trackers!
