Burnt Hollow Traralgon, Victoria, Australia

Another 'muggled' mystery. Another 'creative' cache missing - that's x4 caches in a couple of months that have 'dis-appeared' in spots that wouldn't be frequented by your average person - I wont be replacing this cache or making up any more 'creative' caches. I might just make plain old boring and un-exciting caches, might have more luck keeping them going.

Muggle's ruin it for the owners and future cacher's.

as per logs..

Our twentieth day of our honeymoon to New Zealand and Australia.
Yesterday evening we had some big scary moths in our camper van. After having a nice night of sleep we had breakfast. *Ba tried to build a bun healthy (in Dutch called broodje gezond). After doing the dishes we were ready to drive to Buchan, a very long drive of about 400 kilometers. [url=http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?LUID=6c4f5e5c-e96e-4be4-933f-995f3a839f35]The first cache of the day[/url] was a remembrance moment. As the hint was so clear Jo went along to the very very big tree. While being on the point to go inside (so big was the tree), she discovered a very big living animal and she screamed and start running back. Arriving back at the camper van she took the photo camera with her and Ba and had again a look to the Wombat. As he was being on the cache, we did not log that cache. The Co Pilot navigation system took us through the hills and wanted that we followed a gravel road. We tried but after several hundred of meters we turned around and followed the much longer way on asphalt. During our drive we were called by Apollo in the person of Heith if all problems were solved now. Now the heating problem is gone by itself but we still had no TV. So we were asked to drive to a shop in Sale to let it fix. After that we decided to look for a powered camper site which we found at number 33 Lake View Caravan Park at the Holland Landing close to Sale (50 km) and not to drive to Buchan. After a short walk along the lake we went back to the camper van to test the tv. Yes, finally it works. As a diner we will have tandoori wraps with chicken, Greek yogurt, cucumber and lettuce.

We DID NOT found this cache today.
On our way to Sale Jo became a bit tired of driving and therefore we decided to make a stop on this rest area. While Jo was staying in the camper van for some other activities, Ba went out to look for the cache. After a quite time of searching he still did not found the cache, so we drove further without a smiley on this place.

Today was the second day of our excursion out of Tasmania touring from Melbourne to Canberra and return via Gippsland. We visited a number of towns today between Melbourne and Sale and were lucky enough to find some caches along the way. Despite being overcast at times and some very infrequent drizzle, we have had an excellent day. This cache was a quick find. The cache container was quite interesting - haven't seen one of these used as a cache container before. The guardian spider was on duty but we came to an understanding. TFTC Nautilus7497

Driving from Lakes Entrance to Morwell we enjoyed a few caches en route.
This is becoming a very busy road. Quick find in anticipated place.
Thanks Jacqueline and Peter #6999

Had driven past this one several times recently as the rest area was full of resting travellers but tonight on my way down to Bairnsdale, the area was deserted! Hastily pulled in, parked and went for a hunt. Found the cache fairly quickly, did the signing thing and headed on my way. Thanks to Nautilus7497 for this one.

Like the Cache home ! tftc

New log? First to sign, lots of treasure within, took none but left some cards for any holiday makers who need to entertain the youngsters! TFTC

Quick find by Mama on our trip to Lakes Entrance. Salamat!

I think some folks are selling chickens by the road here!!

An interesting area, luckily there weren't many people around today, or vans. Found without too much trouble. Cache was wet but log was dry. Found with WyldMan92.

Quick find with a quick pee stop =)

Nice little container, it's abit banged up and worse for wear, but the log and swaps were still dry.

Found with PhoebeIrene

Quick find gave me excuse to stretch my legs TFTC T1L1 no tb in cache

Found this one after waiting for a very suspicious looking muggle to leave. TFTC

Quick find on arvo cache run.
Signed log tftc.

Our first 'cache and pee' stop on our way down to Paynesille... This was a nice quick one (both the cache and the pee ) with the cache quickly located and signed to the soundtrack of highway traffic....

Always nice to see a new form of cache container! TFTC

Found on a Geo outing with my caching buddy Dunko TFTC SL

Caching with my buddy Slink1 and roaming the suburbs. A quick find, TFTC SL

Wow first cache for 2012. On route to Bairnsdale so we stopped for a fast grab. One Muggle in distance thought I was using the tree for other reasons ! TFTC SL

5190. [font=Century Gothic][green]Pit stop and a cache - yep know about those. Walked over to the cache from the convenient spot and saw the truth in advertising. Van was there but we'd only just had a cuppa.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Visiting over xmas weekend so we diverted for some caching on the trip back home. No donut van today...bugger!! SL TFTH

long grass is gone, found this very quickly. tftc

A short stop found this cache on the way through.
I like the container! The long grass playing havoc with the hayfever - it doesn't look like the picnic area is well maintained.

Found at 12:29:04 PM GAFF1. We decided to have lunch here and while it was being prepared, p-pprass went off into the wet "jungle" and made a hash of the route. Tripping over hidden logs and dips, the cache location was eventually found to be quite simple. However it still required a bit of perseverance to dig it out as it was in there quite deep.

Thanks Nautilus7497

Feedback: The container lets in water.

Have driven past this roadside stop thousands and thousands of times, but this is the first time we have stopped here!!
Quick easy find once we had navigated the long grass. The picnic tables will soon be hidden if the grass keeps growing!
TFTC

thank u

The grass was wet and above the knees, time for mowing. There was water in the cache, but the log was dry. Water emptied and log signed

We spent a few days staying in a cabin in a nearby caravan park and exploring the area. This was an easy find almost within walking distance of where we were staying. TFTC

Some Grey Teal feeding on a nearby water hole had no interest in what we were doing. TNLN TFTC.

Another quick find when out and about for no particular reason.......

Great little hide, lits of passing by muggles in a hurry. Tnln. Tftc.

Found by Mary & David at 1000. More long wet grass after so much rain last night. There was an Ibis sitting atop a tall dead tree to escape the boggy conditions. Only donuts and coffee on offer as we arrived, but a bus and numerous vehicles stopped to take advantage. Thankfully, GZ was away from prying eyes. Our thanks once again to Nautilus Soni+Dayns.

Nice quick find on my way to Bairnsdale for a couple of days work. Thanks for the break in the journey, and the cache.

Called in on our way home. Another find to Mrs E who was still a bit nervous. Left TB TFTH

On my way home from town today and i just had to squeeze in one more. Quiet at the rest stop at his time of day so I had no trouble with the search. A little different container used on this one. I liked it. Signed the log and took my pic. Thanks Nautilus Soni+Dayns for the hide.

On way to Traralgon to meet muggle friends at Red Annex cafe.
Nice hide
TFTC

Found it!

*FTF* Took a night run out with Kellyhaunts to grab some new ones. The name of the cache made it easy to find the cache without the need for the GPS. I stop at this stop a lot when I travel past when the food van is here. I always thought there should be a cache here. TFTC

*FTF*
Nite out with C@H & Nice quick drive by.
I know I shouldn't rely on the iPhone but I did and in this instance it nailed GZ within a few feet.
Thx for the cache NS+D
