* Log protector bag had split so we replaced it as log was quite damp but still signable today.
* Not many spaces left on log & it's getting fragile so CO might need to give it a new log sooner. There may be space for a few more people but not many more than that.

Another sunny winters day had us out & about enjoying the weather & a bit of geocaching, luckily the fog was only in the hills between home & here. We had looked at this one on a previous occasion but were at the wrong spot to achieve success. Today we attacked this from a much better place & even though there was a bit of water in places we made a nice easy find. Log protector bag had split so we replaced it as log was quite damp but still signable. Not many spaces left on log & it's getting fragile so CO might need to give it a new log sooner. There may be space for a few more people but not many more than that. Managed to get some nice photos of birds on the water with cloud reflections near by, lovely. Not a Bellbird to be heard today though. The couple of muggles were waaaay over the other side where they couldn't see what we were up to, we liked that! Thanks for the cache.

On a Saturday arvo trip with ceebee2013 to Drouin area to hopefully find eleven caches we had not previously logged. No. 3. TFTC.
"The Bellbirds are calling..... Reminding me of my childhood along the Diamond Creek at Diamond Creek me of Melbourne. Relying on the GPS is better than relying on the map. Lovely spot and no big wrigglers. TFTC
This was a fun cache to find! I took the hubby and doggy down here for us to check out the off-leash area, and show hubby what I've been getting up to with caching! Wandered around in a circle for a while in the right area, and finally found this cache on the way out of the brush...as hubby grins and mentions he'd seen it earlier. Ah well! Didn't have a pen, so I took a pic! TFTC!
I found this cache today at 4:50pm as number 47 of 53 on my Australia Day Northern South Gippsland Loop. What are these gumboots that I hear other finders espousing? Did they walk through yonder lake?. Thanks from D B-A.
another great walk in the park on a sunny day
never been down here before very wet underfoot but second track gave us the cache

Of course we went the long, hard way to get to this cache! I think the bellbirds were laughing at us. TFTC
Had a quick look and nothing to be found, although the path was closed off due to the Pony's Club using it. May have to go back and search it further
Tftc Trickytracey, enjoyed the view! Only problem was that I got distracted while finding the cache, those damn Bellbirds! Musical Muggels are very pleasant!!
Bit muddy but a nice easy find. Thanks Tricky Tracey! the kids are big fans of yours.
Found with my cousin and her most beautiful baby on her second ever cache. We found the stashnote on the ground, out of the container, then found the cache. I cleaned out a bottle-top that had been shoved into the container which had made a split in it and the CO might want to replace the container as it isn't waterproof anymore. Really nice park with beautiful birds. Thanks trickytracey.
I found it quickly but it took my little helpers a little longer!
Great spot to hear the bellbirds

Took the long way to this one but really glad we did as the little track was very pretty.
Cache was found in the first place we looked.
Thanks trickytracey for the cache.

Steph & Steve, Steph & Steve, decided to come down and cache out Drouin and explore this Lovely area and maybe take a photo or two, Thx for brining us here )
Its not covered in barbed wire!! Took ages to find until we realised it was film canister sized. It hides inside! Steph and Steve, Steve and steph <3
Sorry!! Replaced the cache and moved it to higher ground a little while ago, but forgot to edit the description. The description is now accurate.
Out for a quick cache with the family... great hide and first find for a new goecacher...
A quick find while taking my sister out for her first hunt... Even better she was the one to actually find it
Great to have this one back it is now a small film canister and the GPS lead us right to it great job

GPS directing us to a soggy bog! No obvious features close so we decided to pass on this one today. TFTC anyway.
I have disabled this listing temporarily as the current hide is too wet and access means trudging through very marshy ground and knee high grass. The log book was also very wet so I am going to replace it and find a new nearby location for this cache.
Out for the day to do a spot of geocaching with good caching buddies Earthbound Chief. This one took a little while to locate and turned out to be around 20m nw of GZ. TFTC.
Out on a caching day with the Walenators. Having made our way to where our collective GPS' were suggesting GZ was we decided there was nowhere here a 200ml container could be hidden. Casting our eyes around the vicinity and resorting to the hint some of us made our way across the bog towards an object that looked promising. Yay! Success! According to those chickens that stayed on safe ground I ended up about 20m NW of GZ surrounded by big muddy holes created by goodness knows what! We resorted to our stamp as the log is so saturated the paper has gone slimy. Maybe this one needs to be off the ground? Thanks for the fun.
Got to GZ and began to scratch my head as there wasn't much here. So I consulted the hint and soon knew where to look. Cache and old totally drowned so signing was very difficult. Left some sort of impression in the log. TNLNSL. TFTC. KeMS
A very peaceful spot in Drouin I wouldn't have otherwise visited - as per previous entry the log book is very wet! Tftc
Was saturated and could not sign. May still be usable if given time to dry out. ^^;
In the area with Dunko and newbie TNTJO on a short arvo run, a quick find here TFTC SL
Down this way introducing a new member to the joys of caching with Slink1. TNTJO makes his mark and enters the world of caching today. Thanks to the CO's TNLN SL
