I definitely wasnt wearing the right shoes for this cache, but I looked all around the tree and into the shrubbery. I wasnt game enough to reach into the bushes, but it didnt look like anything was in there anyway. Is highly possible the cache is there and I just couldnt find it c:

Thanks to Phetlern for placing a new cache for this location. The previous hide was a victim of the recent floods. The new cache is a few metres from the previous hide and should now be floodproof. Checked on it today and all is good.

Distance from original: 69.8 feet or 21.3 meters.

Previous cache has been lost to the recent flood. New location should be future floodproof.

Geoturtle37 and I had a great time travelling with The Drovers, Suscoe and Phetlern, around Swan Hill and its surrounds searching for smileys. We were lucky to find many with only a few DNF's. We arrived to find that the area was still wet from the recent floods and weren't sure we would find the cache. We all spent quite some time looking around the area but no luck. Phetlern replaced the cache with the CO's permission which was great as we now have another smiley.
Thank for placing this cache for us to find.

With the memory of the Rutherglen Mega still utmost in our minds, we set a course for Swan Hill, to spend a few days caching around the border area with Suscoe, Geoturtle, Papi and The Drovers. It was fascinating to learn about the importance of the lakes in this area.

Cache appears to have disappeared. After sorting out who the CO was, we place an emergencny log and container at S37 59.051 E143 47.753. CO gave us the OK to place a fresh log and container.

To maximise the space on cache logs for future cachers, we logged our visit as "B Team"

Thanks to the Owner for adding this cache to the gameboard.

Hi Team Megradel, I found Lake Leaghur today. I found this container a little bit of a way away from the GZ. Just out in the open. Almost as if it had been carried away by water. Put it back where I believe it should be.

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

This is one of those spots that I would never have seen if it wasn’t for Geocaching! Thanks!

Water down a bit but the wildlife were noisy at the disturbance of us. Quick find by Geoson. TFTC

Thanks

Thanks for the hide and bringing us to this lake, we would probably never have ventured here otherwise. A peaceful place this morning.

Making our way from Boort to Swan Hill along the Boort - Kerang road and grabbing a few caches along the way.
A quick find was had here today
SL TNLN Thanks for the cache

Nice easy find. TNLN. SL.

Suscoe was heading home today after a terrific caching trip around the Kerang region.
We were making our way back down south to our home base.
It was a warm day with sunshine and some cloud. there was a bit of wind too.
The roads were pretty quiet.

Thanks to Team Megradel for this placement, we really had no idea of the extent of the lakes around this region.
We were glad that we took this direction to get to our home.

Lake Leaghur was transferred from The Morris to user Team Megradel

Found with Tassydevil. A quick find although we got to it from an unconventional direction. Thanks

Nice easy find. TFTC

Deniliquin to Boort.
From here we stopped for caches along the road where it was suitable to stop with the caravan on.
After setting up camp at the showgrounds we did a tour of the country side hunting down caches.
Thankyou for placing this cache The Morris

In the District for the grain harvest. Only fauna here today are currawongs.

The lake is very dry at the moment, can’t see any water from GZ.
TFTC

Did a little walk along the track, not many birds to be seen. The cache was found quickly, good co ords, thanks.

A nice quick and easy find on our tour of the countryside.
TFTC

Camping in Boort with the family and this morning we decided to head out of town a little and explore. So many lakes around these parts. A nice quick find here. Many thanks for the cache.

Found it and took some time for birdwatching. Thanks for the cache placement all good at GZ.

What a find this spot is! Lots of lovely birds. Bird of the cache- Beautiful Firetail. TFTC

Found on our way home from our trip to Lake Boga, where we saw the Catalina airshow and display, went fishing, and of course cached our way around as well.

We detoured off the road to check out this Lake, as we had just come from Lake Meran which was truly picturesque with a full body of water. Chunk commented that he could see some campers ahead in amongst the trees, but Chook couldn't see them so she just assumed they were a bit further away than her eyesight allowed. Chook continued chatting merrily away as they walked to towards GZ (really? Chook continually chatting?). Finally Chunk turned around with an urgent 'shhhhh' and then the penny dropped. The campers were camoflaged duck shooters on the opening weekend of the hunting season, and they weren't impressed with us invaders. We quickly and quietly signed the log and hoofed it out of there and didn't go any further to get better views of the lake.

TFTC The Morris. We will have to check the lake out properly on our next trip up through Kerang.

Great area for kids to explore. Thanks for this one

Apologies for the late log. TFTC

Found it! Nice and easy one!

Like the easy ones. Tfth and cache.

A short detour from the road to Kerang got me to the shores of Lake Leaghur.
Like many lakes in this area, there is a seeming lack of water [:o]
Plenty of birdlife to be heard amongst the reeds though

And a cache !!

Nicely sized container which was well stocked. quick easy find. TFTC

Still driving around on a pleasant day out with the wife and dog we soon had this one in hand, signed and replaced

TFTC

Kids did a swap. We've had a successful afternoon. Thanks

Nice spot for the Cache Hounds to stretch their legs, and we spent a lovely couple of minutes watching a Hawk flying around. An interesting spot - bet it was beautiful with water in there. TFTC.

No water here today but I suppose it comes and goes. Nice bit of remnant bush among the paddocks though. SL TFTC

Tdtc easy find no lake to be seen today very dry

Quick find #111 for our trip. tftc no sign of a lake today....

Bogonghazy and I had the Caravan in tow today, and I was driving. Got into here and back, and all on a sealed road, Bonus, was expecting gravel and mud. The cache was a quick find, we logged and headed back out to the Highway. Thanks to The Morris, we seem to be cleaning up a few or your hides this trip. Cheers, Leese.

Another quick detour for Sully and I on our way North. Couldn't see the lake for the trees, or is that the forest?? Thanks for another cache showing us this out of the way location The Morris

Find #1541 @ 1509H

Seeing that the skys were kinda clear I decided to head off on a small cache hunt (small in number not in distance) A total of 9 cache grabs but with a distance of 250ks round trip for the day.

A decent sized cache hidden in an interesting location. I have never been up to this area before little lone to these lakes. After finding the cache I went for a short stroll to check out the area.

TFTC The Morris and thanks for showing me this area

Visiting friends in the area. Passed this many times. Never knew it was here. Thanks
TNLN.

Found at 11.50am, An out of the way spot, but good to see it wasn't drained for agriculture.
TNLN
Thanks
K&M

TFTC. Yeah Leaghur. For the sake of the lake.

Heading home from Broken Hill with Dr Who after doing the fireworks for their annual show. We spent the night at lake Meran and had no idea this lake was even here.
It is good that it is not being developed and being left natural.
We pulled up and Dr Who 2 had the cache in hand before the GPSr had a chance to settle.
After adding our name to the log we replaced the cache and commented on how long since this cache had been found.
Many thanks The Morris

A quick find... Great place for water birds as Cat got some photo's of ones that she had never seen before (Red-necked Avocet) TFTC

Journeying back to Bendigo following a successful Cohuna Matata event, I took my usual round about way which was definitely not the most direct route to add to the numbers. A quick find then it was off to find some more before eventually arriving home late in the evening. Many thanks The Morris for placing this cache.

Thought we'd get eaten by a snake when we found this one... Brilliant!

I have driven past the signs for this lake for a long time, but never pulled in there. Here was my chance to use geocaching as an excuse to scope out a potential new fishing spot. A quick and easy find and I will be back probably with rods and bait. TFTC

Thanks 'The Morris'. There have been a couple of muggle finds lately. Took astronaut, left poppy.

Nice short detour on our trip to Boort. TFTC

I am lead to believe that this Lake is the fullest it has been in 15 years following the recent floods. It looks a treat now. The cache is in fine condition in its well placed hide. Thank you again to 'The Morris' for the cache and location. Another pleasant surprise. In the company of 'The Comrades' TNLN.

Thank you to 'The Morris' for the cache and location. Great cache in company of the Quiet plodder

Found by Roma and Max.
We are on a roll now and searching in an area where Max's cousin farmed for many years.
Good numbers again made for an easy find.
It is good to see so much water here again after so many dry years.
We signed the log and made no exchange.
Thanks again The Morris for bringing us back here.
Cheers,
from Romax.
