This was a nice easy find and the log was dry. I loved the uniqueness of the letterbox being such a large pig.
That is one cool letterbox. Thanks for the hint or I might have been there for a while. SL at 9:45am on this cool but sunny Saturday morning.
So after having to leave Rutherglen mega early for an emergency operation I am out and about recovering as well as collecting some numbers to make up to my early exit thank you for the placement at this beautiful letterbox art
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.
Called past today and swapped containers and left new log book. All good to be found.
Cache buried with much leaf litter and log a little soggy, bag holey so added new bag
gorgeous piggy mailbox but no owner in sight to discuss all things about socks.
thanks for the cache BettyBoo3747

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.

Dark by the time i got here, had a good look but phone about to go flat, one for another day.
Wanted to grab just 2 specific caches today to finish off all the traditionals close to home... quck and easy find for geomum after geoteen went round and round at GZ obviously having forgotten to bring the geogoggles
Pretty sweet cache location. Imagine if pigs were really that fat. Haha, thanks for the cache all looks to be in good order.

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.

Found at 2:10pm as we made our roundabout way towards Cobram. A very spectacular pig!

Not sure what our GPS was doing but it was not playing at all here.
Had to scratch around for quite a while until I heard the familiar sound of the the plastic container.
Impressive mail box!
Thanks for the hide.

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.

Oink Oink great letter box! Another surprise! Enroute to Yack after an orienteering event in Chiltern National Park courtesy of AWOC - Albury Wodonga Orienteering Club. Going ok until the dreaded checkpoint 13. Just like geocaching Try to avoid tenaciously a DNF TFTC
Tricky one. Have passed this pig often and admired his fun quirkiness. Thanks for this cache.
Some people go to so much trouble with their letterbox. Think I was a bit lucky with this find almost missed it. Tftc
Love this series and this is one of the better ones - took a bit of scratching but found in good time - TFTC
#2782 Our last find for the day as we head home and wowsers what huge letterbox! You could get a small car delivered to this box . One of the best we have seen in this series. Mr BGF soon uncovered the cache hide. TFTC BB.

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!

Found at 0912. We went on a circuit of Wodonga, Chiltern, Beechworth, and Yack today picking up some caches as we went. Like the local art with an easy find. TFTC.
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.

Wow! What an amazing peice of letterbox art! A quick find by geo kid 2 in the long grass. Tftc
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.

Made a slight detour this way as we left Wodonga. Enjoyed the art but almost missed the cache. Mr80 made the find. Tftc
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!!
Out with Nacspaceman for Earth Cache day and on our way to Eldorado and Mine d'etain. Amazing mail box, well worth a look.
Doing a caching trip with Geo-Pop, and this was #1 on the list. Mail box pig, very well done. TFTC BettyBoo3747
That is one impressive pig. Replaced the baggie that was more holes than baggie. TFTC
Stayed at Cookinburra Host Farm for a couple of days as our nine week road trip comes to an end in two days. So just had to get the local caches. Easy find SL TFTC
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.
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.......

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.

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 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 off to the next one.

Spotted this mailbox on the way up to Mt Pilot NP to grab a T5 for our road trip souvenir & decided we'd stop & grab the cache on the way back if it wasn't dark. What an awesome mail box! Kids loved this one! SL & returned as found. Tftc
Found this today in the company of Mrs Iamapom and Woody the Geodog during our short visit to the Rutherglen area. Nice straight forward find. Thanks for it.
Found on our 2015 Melbourne footy trip with Sol de Lune. A short drive off the highway for yet another letterbox themed cache - very nicely found! A quick find at GZ, before heading straight off again. TNLNSL. TFTC!
Found with Toy Hunters as we made our way to Melbourne of a weekend of footy.....
Another in the Letterbox Art series....getting a few of these ticked....and another great example. Cache was found, log signed and we were on our way again.
Thanks again BB3747.....

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.
TFTC BettyBoo3747 and for bringing us here - much appreciated.

We went over to the Chiltern National Park today for birding and caching and the weather was perfect. On our way home now and getting a few along the roadside, loved the fat letterbox... TFTC
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)
