Had to move this one to lots of work being done in the area.

Now live about 2 hours away, but will attempt to get there soon and replace log and container if necessary.
Thanks for your patience.

Needs new log as it is full. Good spot though tftc

Nice walk. TFTC. Log is full and container has a crack in it.

Quiet little spot and some nice new picnic benches nearby. Log Damp.

Cache split, I will find a replacement in the next couple of days. TFTC.

Found at 2:39 PM GAFF1. After leaving St. Leonards and on our way to Feiglins Camp for the night, we decided to have lunch here. We pulled in with our van and then realised that it was going to be tough to turn around (we eventually had to back out). Was heading to where I thought the cache was going to be hidden, but suddenly when I looked at the GPSr, I had to do a 90° turn and head to the real GZ. The cache was found quite exposed and it was a surprise that it was still there.
Thanks Wal-len.
Feedback: The cache container is cracked and the hint doesn't tell you anything about how to find the cache as we already know it is a micro from the cache size given.

Lovely area. That's what it's all about. T4tc

Found it! Lots of poo and mud...

nice cache tftc

Nice little shady park. TFTC

My second cache in Australia. During a trip with some locals I passed this cache. TFTC and showing the location.

They have improved this park since I was here last.
Thanks for the cache.

Nice spot.

Nice spot for a break and maybe a picnic but a bit too wet under foot.
Beautiful sunny day in the Yarrow Valley.

Easy find

Required a bit of digging! But found #4 for today! TFTC!

After a bit of searching realised there had been a bit of garden renovating at the sight.

Groonga! Cool little park

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

TFTC Wal-len. We haven't been here for many years. We had a lovely walk on the track by the river.

woohoo

Nice easy cache on day trip.

Nice easy - lovely park.
Thanks

Quick and easy find on a beautiful day after visiting Healseville Sanctuary this morning

Such a cute find, lived in healesville for ever and never knew of this tree!

Another nice place to visit in the valley.

Out for a Sunday drive and this was the first find for the day TFTC

Quick and easy find , TFTC

Quick easy find tftc

I had an offer that I couldn't refuse from kmace to come with her today and find some caches in and around Healesville, in particular an unloved cache and some of various cache types for an NZ challenge she was doing. This was the first of 9 cache finds for me (and 8 for k) today.

We parked in the nearby carpark and wandered over to GZ. Being familiar with the CO's MO and also by approaching GZ from the right direction, kmace spotted the well-hidden cache quickly and then retrieved it so we could both sign the log (not the tree ) at 12:40 pm. TNLN.

Thanks Wal-len for the nice hide and for bringing us to this lovely spot by the Yarra. We didn't see any familiar names on the tree and thought better of etching our names on it - anyway, "ladioactive" is far too long to fit on this specimen. [8)]

Found this one today. I was out caching with ladioactive and this one was the first one we found. I went one way around the object and ladioactive went the other way - I choose the right way and found the cache. Signed log today but didn't swap anything today.

Thanks for the cache Wal-len.

Found on fun day out getting a few caches.
Signed log thanks Wal-len.

On way to Healesville.
Enjoy walk toward the cache.
TFTC

Made the quick find and sat down at the lovely nearby tables to relax and sign the log. TFTC

Walked straight to it. Was slightly uncovered but changed that.

found this one on our trip at the lovely zoo nearby. Thanks and greetings from Germany

Quick find, thanks for the cache!

Found it! Lovely spot on a lovely day. We looked for quite sometime. Realised it was at a place that one of our members had already looked but missed it. Great Hiding spot!
TFTC!

Nice quick and easy find

Found this cache at 11am while in the area for a vintage car rallya for the weekend. After going to the markets we decided to do some more caching.
Why do people have to dump rubbish in such otherwise pleasant places.
Thanks Wal-Len for the hide
The Bushies NSW

I've driven past here so many times and never stopped. Good chance to see what's about. Found the cache, slaters seem to have found themselves a home there

Watch out for the woodlice! Found with TJ

Found on a hunt with Onkel D. TFTC

Found on a two-day cache-hunt with gredor. TNLNSL, TFTC

We found this cache today at 1:50pm as the 12th of 26 on our Donna Buang bound Saturday. Many names indeed. Thanks from D, HA & A B-A

Campers down on the lower level but not close enough to stop us making a quick search and a find.

Heading home and I was passing this one in a traffic queue so decided to have a hunt in the dark. Parked in the rest area and followed the GPSr and the cache was found quickly. Thanks to wal-len for this one.

Great spot for a rest and a search. No one around to interrupt. Tftc.

Interesting tree. Makes one wonder about all the people that have been there. Tftc

Nice tree thanks

found while having lunch then off to work.

Fun playing in the leaves. TFTC.

... Thank you for the cash.. Geo kid number 3 found this one... He is only 5..

Found by Mary & David at 1508. Ages since we've been out this way. Thoroughly enjoying the watery sunshine, the blue hills and wonderful trees. Makes you realise how far the Yarra travels. Oh, and the cache name makes sense now. Our thanks to Wal-len.

New container in place. All good to go.

As noted in the log, we are really sorry but one of our geokids (they are fighting over who did it!) dropped the lid amongst the Autumn leaves. After much searching we couldn't find it. We have wrapped it in the plastic bag so hopefully it will keep dry.

Big apologies.

Second of five for Mother's Day. It was lovely enjoying the beautiful Autumn leaves until one of the geokids dropped the cache lid amongst them!!! Twenty minutes of searching couldn't locate the lid. We are so sorry and will log a maintenance report.

TFTC Sorry again about the lid.

Headed for this with TurnerFamilyFTG and Spiffy-. Map directed us towards the water.. but it was Spiffy that made the discovery... Pretty cool tree... TFTC

Geobuddies wandered off down near the river, not sure why, something about their map looked like it was right near the water. Anyway I made the find and had it signed before they came back towards me. I left the tree alone and didn't bother carving my name into it. TFTC.

Thnks for a quick find tpday I needed it. SL

Found this cache as part of a caching run with with Spiffy-, E10107 and the geowife and child. Nice tree. TFTC

Good find

Good clue.

this is such a nice part of the world, it's a shame people use it as a dump. TFTC

Found it! A lovely tree but it seems locals or passer-by's use this park as a rubbish dump. There were car tyers, clothes and even a pile of rotting bones! YUCK!! There really bad stench in the air! Anyway TFTC SL [xx(]

The Demolition Crew was together again on our regular Monday night caching run. The night was full of caches finds, laughs and a fair distance traveled tonight with our route taking us right out to Warburton then back into the city. We had a great night finding quite a few multis and even managed a FTF as well. Thanks to all the CO's for placing the caches that we found tonight.

Found while out on another legendary Demolition Crew run starting in the Melbourne area, making a big loop out Warburton way then back to the CBD. A great night caching with lots of laughs as usual, and great company of course. Lots of multi and a few mystery cache finds, and even a FTF. Thanks to all the CO's who put out the caches we found on the night.

Nice quick find here while on our way to a FTF attempt in the hills. TFTC.

The Demolition Crew meet once again to cache in Melbourne tonight. Tonight we had not really prepared a run, so it was a matter of "going with the flow" and looking for caches of opportunitiy in the eastern and outer eastern areas of Melbourne. A quick find. Thanks.

Found it!

Very hot day today. Nice to cache in the shade.

Found 11:15, our first find for a very lazy Sunday of caching

TNLN, CSI=2, thanks Wal-len.

Faound fairly easily TFTC

No one around today on a rather gray and chilly day, especially surprising since yesterday was about 35 C. Quite a tree here, and a nice straightforward find for us. TFTC!

Quick find today, and happy for the cooler weather. TFTC!

Find No.. 23 for the work trip to the Howqua Valley and back. Only one DNF for the day. Thanks Wal-len for another cache hide.

Found it. Used to swim here when I was a kid, dont think I could go in now. Thanks for bringing me back.

Found it for the last for tonight(morning) lol now time for sleep

Tftc

Replaced log sheet.

Easily found. TFTC

After a visit to the Sanctuary to aid in school holiday boredom we swung by here as we headed for home. Certainly an impressive specimen! Cache was quickly located & we were on our way. TFTC

TFTC, just updating my previous finds.

Nice quick find after a day out with the family. Thanks for this one.

16:17 King Jr and family in the car

After just visiting the sanctuary we stopped off here for the quick find.

Our thanks

Quick grab on the way into Healesville. 3rd of 36 finds for the day. What a great old tree, and a very run down little reserve! Thanks for the cache.

After Marysville with sister in law with her husband.
On way back to home.
Stopped and found it.
Thanks Wal-len

Find # 2443

Today I was out caching solo on a trip up to Nagambie via Lake Eildon so I could stay with my sister in law's parents as my brother and sister in law were already there. I packed the geo yak on the roof, a few of the necessities in the car and off I went. When I left Home, it was raining and looking quite bleak, but once I passed Healsville, the sun came out, the birds started to sing and it was a glorious day, perfect for caching.

This was my first find for the day, after a DNF earlier on I was quite hopeful for this one. I arrived in the car park, checked out the river which had a couple of kayakers paddling their way upstream, then headed for what was an obvious GZ. It didnt take too long and the cache was in hand.

Thanks to Wal-len for the cache.

A fairly easy find on our way back from a day at Healesville... Pulled into the carpark to find ourselves the only ones here (yay) and for some reason I anticipated this 'tree' to be a native one, so didn't even twig (ha!) to the huge oak sitting right in the open.... Kicked myself when I finally realised. Would love to know the history of how this tree came to be here...

Nice bit of shade on this warm day too. TFTC.

Nice spot on a hot day. Quick find on the way to Eildon.

River was little up today and dirty great location for a balmy night swim

Great big tree to stand under. Thanks for bringing me here ??

A big day of caching, it started last night at about 10pm with Stemicmitsar and SirJ-Oz, we found about 24 and I arrived home at 6.30am. Once back home and after 90mins sleep I was rudely awaken by some FTFs which were too close to ignore.. Now after another 45mins sleep I picked up Delicate for a trip up north to the Strathbogies.. We were due there for tea, however there was still ample time to smash out another 12 or soo enroute.. Thanks Wal len for the cache and the stretch of the legs... Find # 3187

we got held up here with 5odd km of bumper to bumper traffic all headed to a music festival at a local winery..

# 2208. Caching with Robmc today on our way further out to find me a Q name for an Alphabet Challenge. I love trees and so when we pulled up and walked under this one I was IMPRESSED. So big, so wide-spreading. Lovely. We made the quick find and then he pointed out the names. We had been thinking Oak, Quercus etc. but no, not those names at all. TNLN. TFTC.

Dropped the geo-mobile in for a service and went looking for a Q cache with Bettyboo3747.
We were thinking that the many names were for the tree - we found out what it really meant when we arrived.
Great tree, and a quick find.
Thanks, Robmc.
