There have been a few attempts to rescue this cache. Not sure whether the owner is still travelling past but cache needs some TLC. Still a great road and a solid reason to stop. GPS was way off, telling me I had to hop the fence. YMMV. TFTC

It was to be a 3 hour drive one way and 3 hour drive back to get my daughter to school camp as she had to miss the first couple of days. On the way back I had the peace and quiet to stop along the way and find a few caches.

This one was found easily and surprisingly dry. I saw the good work of the previous finder who supplied a new log sheet and protective plastic bag. Thank you.

The cache container could do with replacement as previously stated by numerous others.

Thank you for the cache here Nautilus7497

Found it soggy Put in new sheet and ziplock bag. Needs new container. Yes mozzie heaven. TFTC Greetings from Adelaide

Needs urgent attention. We had no container

Mozzies chase us away

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

This cache either needs to be archived or seriously replaced as it was totally saturated and there was evidence someone had tried to repair the container with gaffer tape.
Couldn't sign log so left calling card.

Cache saturated and unusable

On my way to cape Conran decided to follow your advice to stay off the hwy.

Rest and Relax. Find cache and continue. TFTC

Easy

Easy

Quick find on my drive back home

We've only moved to the Gippsland area this year and we'd call this the back way too. In fact, I did so today: "Shall we take the back way home from Bairnsdale today?"

Thanks for find #1792

Windy day for a cache TFTC. TNL- tag

Raemoz found it Not exactly the coordinates but the most logical place. Good parking beside and lots of mosquitoes
TFTC

Driving to Bairnsdale, we took the back roads, and passed by this cache. I found it on the ground, so replaced it where I thought it should be.
Thanks Nautilus7497

TFTC

TFTC. Easy one. The back way is best.

Day 6 and the last leg of my roadtrip. Bairnsdale back home.
36 caches today. I appreciated the safe parking at all the caches I stopped at today, makes a big difference!

Find #1

A bit soggy here, cache is not waterproof at all.
Signed and replaced.

Thanks

We've put in a temp. log for this one to keep it going for now. Owner might still want to swing by and check on it, as the old log was still a bit wet, but all looks good atm. TFTC, and thanks for making the drive a little more interesting!

This was a quick drive by to break up our long drive. Thanks for the cache and good parking. The log is full.

Nice easy park and grab

Grub62 and I were trying a different route between Lakes Enterence and Melbourne that was suggested by our friends. On our way we couldn't help but collect a couple more caches. I think we overthought this one before we went back to where I thought it was in the 1st place. TFTC.

Find 9 of 11 for today. Map 31 of the UBD Victorian challenge ticked off. On our way home from Mallacoota Bunadoorian and I found this cache. I had been told of this road which caravanners tend to use - so decided to drive this way and look at some different scenery. TFTC Nautilus7497

Trip from Bright in Victoria to Brisbane, Queensland can be rather boring, so we cache as we go. Today, we started at Pt Marlay and ended up at Pt Marlo.

What sort of cacher would leave live matches in a tinder box area? Removed said matches, signed log and continued on our way. thanks Nautilus 7497

Tftc...

Found with Nan and Pop TFTC

Easy find even though lots of muggles driving by. Log is quite old, a bit tattered and almost full. Cach has seen better days also.

Found

Found it easily once I looked at the right tree. I too love going “the back way” to places...there’s always interesting places to see

Cache-On!

We were on a trip to our holiday location of Raymond Island today.
TFTC Nautilus7497

Did not find it

Found. Thanks

Found it 8m from GZ.
Lovely old tree indeed

After yesterdays heat, we decided we'd have a sleep in and then go for a drive to pick up a few caches near Bairnsdale, so we took the back way and grabbed a few of what was on offer.

A nice easy find here - thanks Nautilus7497.

This one is getting a bit worn out!
Bit mouldy

A quick find, headed for Bairnsdale. TFTC Nautilus7497.

We also like to take the back roads to places and see different aspects of the counrtyside as we travel. This was an easy cache to find, but it really needs some attention as the cache container had water in it and the log sheet was wet. We did manage to sign it before putting everything back as it was found. Thank you Nautilus7497 for putting this cache into play.

We’re staying at Lake Wellington at our nephews place so using the back way to get to Bairnsdale for a bit of shopping.

Thanks for placing the cache.

A quick find today with hubby and the geokids as we continue our Gippsland holiday adventure. So many stunning places to visit! This was a quick find picked up on our way from Paynesville to Toora. Many thanks for the cache.

Found on the way home from Sale with muggle son

Easy drive by... Tftc

Another nice find on the long way to bairnsdale. Tftc

Found it was a little bit easy

A quick drive by. Wishing now we stopped for #1 in this series.The container a bit all over the place when we arrived but all put back together and in place.I hope tyftc

I enjoy traveling the back way as well, it is a much more relaxing drive. Easy drive by that added a nice diversion. TFTC

Thanks for the easy find and thanks for the lovely blue earrings left my little caravan mobile thingy ")

Found it

What a great cache took track able and will place somewhere over the rainbow

Found it pretty easily

Nice spot in the middle of nothing. TFTC!

As we were closing in on this one we spotted a car pulled over on the side of the road. Was it? Could it be? Yes, pulled up at the exact spot we needed to be. Slowing down we saw the guy pretending(?) to be on his phone. We stopped a bit further down, and we're getting ready to turn around when they drove off. Turns out we'd sprung FodderAus in action..! (We figured it out by their log at the next cache) Anyway we pulled up in the same spot and made the find. Soon on our way again. SL TNLN Thanks for another great cache on this fabulous stretch of road Nautilus.

First find for my wife

Found on a wet day. Driving to Melbourne from Ensay. Took the back road for a change and to pick up done caches tftc

A nice quick find was not covered. Signed and replaced with bark to cover. TFTC.

Great find

#70 for us. On the back way home from a weekend at Lakes caching. Thought we'd see what there was around to round up to 70, open up the app and there this cache was just 400 metres away! Destined to find it. We dropped 2 trackables in Lakes, opened up and said I hope there's not another trackable, lo and behold there it was another trackable that couldn't be left behind. Cache in good order!! Left a cancer necklace. TFTC SL!!

First cache of our mini break away, hopefully a good omen of many more to come. Quick find. Took th left tn. Tftc

Found it while out riding my motorcycle and decided to take a different way home
