This one looks like it has been muggled. I have found this one earlier on in the year with a friend and I couldn't find it this time.
forgot to check this one while at prom will have to wait till I am down there again.
We couldn't find it today.
Searched really well around the ramp.
Seems to be 3 easy ones gone really close by. Hope no one is pinching them!

We managed to grab this before any muggles put in an appearance - there were a lot of people out today enjoying the good weather. The views from here were great. Thanks for the cache.
Spending Easter at Wilsons Prom and came here this morning to go a Parks activity at 8 am. Decided to do this cache and left a TB Wizard Koala #4. Will miss it. Please do not keep it
Couldn't find this one, but there were many muggles around hindering me, maybe next time!
Stopped off here after leaving "Squeaky" and enjoyed the watching the (red) sun setting from the lookout.
(Another cache which has been robbed of it's TB. Looks like an 'alibaba' cacher has been working the area! [:(!])

A special watch house...
Had to dodge a muggle who arrived by car just after us.

On our way back through the Prom we stopped for some caches along the road. Unfortunately it was very cloudy today and the views have been a bit limited. However all caches are placed at very nice locations.
Had to out wait a few muggles before we had a clear run at this one, but eventually it was a straightforward find.

Took a while to pounce on this one due the constant stream of muggles. Found quickly when we had a chance. TFTC
A lovely beach and we saw eels as we crossed the bridge. TFTC.

Flying Pig Squadron has landed! QEF on a research trip of the Commando Training on the Prom. TFTC&H Gonefishen1 No TB
Found after visiting Whisky bay and then taking the trail to Picnic bay. Great spots and views. Nice hide. tftc
Found this morning. Staying at Tidal River with the family. Went for a walk with the wife down the track to the beach. Lovely spot. Waves and current in the ocean have a bit of power. thanks for the cache. The Watch house wasn't what I expected.
One of our caches in the Prom - really nice area (only the camping spot is to busy - to much people)

On our stay in the Wilsons Promotory we found this cache.
Thanks for hidding.
Thanks for hidding.
2 of 9 found today on our overnight trip to Wilson's Prom. This was out first time to this unique area and we dfinitely think we will be back. Superb. The carpark was deserted today so this was an especially easy find. TFTC
Later in the day and there had been some light rain so thought this would be fairly easy to retrieve. Just enough people to make it difficult. Finally able to grab and quickly fill in the Log. TNLN. 7 of 12 for the day.

A nice quick grab while out exploring the Prom with my mate from Canada. I can see that this one could be a bit harder at some points of the year but today there was no one around (despite the weather being amazing!). We made the grab and then got a few more photos.
Thankfully noone was here this morning when we drove in, making cache finding a much, much easier prospect. Took the Luttertiger TB and left a USB charger.
Thanks for the cache Gonefishen07!
best wishes,
Wal

We saw an amazing sunset and logged this cache afterwards. I dropped the TB Luttertiger, that starts it's adventure back to Germany. Good luck!

The views from the road in are breath taking. Every turn has a great view - and cache. There was no TB/GC in this cache but a great spot none the less. TFTH
After utilising said watch-house, I then proceeded to make the quick grab. The sticker had come off the lid and was sitting in the open next to where the cache lies, which made it easy! Tidied things up before I left. TNLN TFTC
Although the signs warned that the GZ was a construction site I had a fair idea that there would be no one at work today being a public holiday. The cache was soon found without any risk.
I don't think we were supposed to come down here but we had no problems. Nice quick find. TFTC.
Easy find for the start of the day. But the TB Koala-Kulua was not in the cache - what a pity.
Had to walk in to access this cache as the area was being repaired after the floods, SL, TNLN, TFTC
Amazing beach - even bumped into a couple of wombats along the way. Stealth mode was activated as some muggles just wouldn't budge. TFTC
Our GPS was out by 5M here so we were scrambling about in the wrong place fortunately no muggles about, found it. TNLN TFTC
funny, init? - the place you'd most expect pesky march flies, entirely free of the blighters!
The car park was full but we found a way.
Yes lots of stealth needed but dropping my water bottle gave me an excuse to be there.
Thanks for placing this cache. For me, it's find number 1057.

This one was quite challenging to retrieve as backpackers had set them selves up in the carpark for lunch! Lucky a shower came and forced them into their hippie van. TFTC. Took Cow and left a few swaps.
I've never actually been tom Picnic Bay, and still haven't! Stopped here for a quick cache whilst making an early exit from camping at Tidal River during bad weather. TFTC
Another stop appreciated by the photographers in our group as well as the facilities. The Chief was left to his own devices as we went in all directions. TFTC

Found it together with dioo5. A lot of muggles around. Took us a while to find it. TFTC Insula from Germany
a bit tricky to get to with all the muggles around so waited and waited and waited some more but in the end a quick easy find tftc

I found this one with my husband. Now that I have my own account and I log this for me. TFTC
During my vacation in Australia I searched and found also this cache. Really a very nice area. I had here very much fun. TFTC
Great cache with lots of swaps so the boys were keen to some swapping. A toy car for a Dolphin, a key neck tag for a Lobster and a Leopard for an oval crystal. They loved this one. TFTC SL
We spent a few days at our favorite place to camp so we decided to add a few more caches to our drive-by series while we were there.
FTF 1310 0810. We stopped here to meet the ranger for a rock pools talk. Having lunch in the carpark then made use of the facility oh and finding the cache.
