This was a nice easy find and the log was dry. I loved the uniqueness of the letterbox being such a large pig.

I thought the log and plastic bag looked pristine and now I see that I am the FTF after it was replaced. I didn't see the owner but I did see his fantastic pig letterbox.

Staying in Albury for a couple months and a chance today to check out this area. Started here at roughly dawn and was very cold, but thoughts of bacon kept me strong as I scratched around until I came up wit the goods. A great way to start my day.
Thanks BettyBoo3747 for entertaining me at this location.

We loved the pig (? A lovely big boar with tusks too) appears that he was created out of an old sea mine.
Always something nice to look at and a reason to stop.

Left Adelaide heading for the V8's at Winton, what a better way to seek a few Yellow faces along our route.
Some have been interesting as others not so, but without having a go we wouldn't have been brought to those special places in the Geocaching World.

Thank to the CO for maintaining these hides and getting us out of the car.

We found this cache while making a quick trip to the area in search of caches to help meet the requirements for the Victorian Country Road Atlas Challenge!
This rotund little porker may well go to the top of the list, of our BB's letterboxes - he is absolutely gorgeous - wins a FP!

Thanks BettyBoo3747 for placing caches on the geo game board..

We enjoyed a few days off visiting family in the North East of Victoria.
The fantastic weather meant we got to go out exploring in our little 2WD.
Thanks for hiding the cache for us to find.
The cache took us a while to find but in the end the cache not in thongs made the find LOL
The mailbox is amazing too!

Managed a quick find this morning while making our way through to Beechworth to grab a few caches, this was a reasonably quick find while searching with omegaman1971, thanks also to the neighbour on his ride on mower who recently cut the tall grass around the gz. Thanks BettyBoo3747 for the hide and for highlighting the handy work of the letterbox. TNLN.

First day of my holidays, from home to Albury, picking up a few caches along the way to break my journey. Last time I was in the area I did a number of these Letterbox Art caches, and really enjoyed the effort and originality that went into the letterboxes. I saw this one was near to where I was heading, so I deviated, and it was well worth it. When I saw the name of the cache, I thought that the series had blown out to at least 338 caches, which was amazing. Then I realized it was just the house number.

My thanks to BettyBoo3747 for the cache and showing me another work of art.
 
14-Mar-16
Made a slight detour this way as we left Wodonga. Enjoyed the art but almost missed the cache. Mr80 made the find. Tftc
 
22-Jan-16
Best DNF ever. Got busted looking for the cache by the owner of the house next door. Fessed up about geocaching and then had a great old chat about life and the world. Turns out the pig is an old bomb/mine - there's an original version in his garden. He sells socks (bull road socks - check em out) and is happy to sell you a pair direct. Life is grand! Tftc, even though I didn't get it this time BB!!

Looking up some old cache finds to see if I qualify for a challenge cache I am working on and found a few I have failed to log on line. I clearly found and signed them as they were logged (in a much more timely manner) by Cybergran V who I was traveling and caching with on that day. Red Face
I understand that with the lateness of this submission the log sheet I signed with my mother that day may be well lost, and that as such my log not be accepted or counted but just for the record.......
I love all your letterbox caches and.......
TFTC BettyBoo3747 [^]

Sorry for the late log. It looks like I have a few more late ones to submit from that weekend and a few more appologies to make. Sad

After staying the night at Indigo Falls following the event at Wodonga, we travelled this road on our way home (after the detour to the Homestead and Church caches nearby).
I love your letterbox caches and this is another great one. Thanks for placing the cache nearby for Muggle Hubby to find while I was busy taking photos of this unusual letterbox.

Headed down from Canberra to attend this event and do some geocaching in the region with Coruze. Arrived on the Friday evening and headed home Sunday night, had a blast of a weekend and looking forward to the next trip down there.

After finishing up at the event, it was time to head off on a caching adventure with Coruze around her local region. As the day continued, so did the caches Big Grin this was a nice easy find with an interesting looking letterbox nearby, the imagination of some people amuses me lol.

Thanks for the cache placement BettyBoo3747 Big Grin off to the next one.

Good cache hide and we certainly did enjoy seeing the letterbox art nearby. Lots of work has gone into this Letterbox Art and the person who did it has made an excellent job of it. Thank you for finding it and adding it to your Letterbox Art Series.

OMG! What a giant PIG! Can’t miss this landmark letterbox. While the homeowners may be expecting a lot of mail, the actual cache was a bit small for the TB squeezed in so took it to move on elsewhere (LBA 21/26)
