Looked for 10 mins and could not find. Searched thoroughly where the clue suggested.
I'm out on my Ebike along the trail today finding these great caches someone's been scratching around here today but I didn't find anything here maybe next time I'll be back
Did some caching along this great trail during our australia holidays. Thanks for maintaining. TFTC

Due to unforeseen circumstances Mr Smokey Bear will no longer be a part of Team Smokey Bear and will continue his adventures as "SmokeyBearOG".
So I'm relogging all previous finds under my new account.
Unfortunately this log will not show the original logging date.
**Thanks to BorisB&Natasha for this adventure, looking forward to many more.**

A blue tongue lizard lives directly underneath this cache. Be careful not to step on him!

Found the old log pages over the ground. Found the cache is great condition and returned the logs.
Didn’t quite understand the name of the cache apart from the railway connection
This is a pretty popular trail with plenty of walkers, puppy dogs and horses too enjoying these beautiful surroundings.
The boys once again handled finding this creative hide, while I stayed on the track chatting with muggle Matt.
Excellent series BorisB&Natasha & Nut bear. Thank you.

With so many caches in this series, I don’t remember each of them individually, so please accept this generic log.
Juzzmagic, Knight_shift and I met up at Engine House, before travelling downhill, to make pedalling easier. We only encountered one hill that needed to be climbed as we progressed, enjoying some lovely views of the properties we were passing.
A couple of fresh log sheets were left, where the existing ones were full.
We were lucky with the weather, as showers had been forecast, but it was ideal for our ride.
Thanks for this series, BorisB&Natasha & Nut bear.

Out for a walk this morning enjoying the nice weather, little chilly but perfect for walking. Out to complete the whole trail, thanks for placing all these caches!
This one took a little longer than I’d have hoped but a nice well hidden cache that was fun to find, very creative!

Out on my own today enjoying this walk along with many others whilst looking for some clues. This one was a little different. Nice easy find here. Thanks for the cache BorisB&Nastasha
Wow this one took the longest to find of the seven so far today. Good hiding spot. Little man loved this one.
Out on a beautiful day with wifey wife and Geo baby. Quick little find quite different to the others in this series so far. Cache is in perfect condition and well located for a secure future.

Stood there looking for far longer than we should have had to great hide, log is damp and will need replacing soon
Great camo.... was glad the laughing kookaburras were not a sign of me not finding it
We are on a holiday with extended family. They talked about doing the Red Hill trail for a walk. I thought I’d check to see if there were any geocaches. Oh! Just a few! This one was very interesting. I love how they’re all a bit different from each other. Two more to get on the way back to the car.
Really wasn't expecting this to be where it was and I must have overlooked it completely when first arriving at GZ. My buddy seemed to be getting enjoyment out of making fun of me as people passed by as I was where one wasn't necessarily supposed to be and for some reason I decided to hide behind the nearest tree, which turned out to be right next to the cache once I emerged. Signed and replaced.
Thank you to the CO's for the fun!

Started this series and took a few days to complete the whole thing. Really enjoyed searching for some really clever caches and must say none of them were disappointing at all, such great ideas. Collected all the clues and found The Pines and was able to unlock the cache. Thanks to all the CO’s for placing and maintaining this series

Last one for us in this series today - we will be back tomorrow, cos we are spending the whole weekend on the Peninsula. It has been a big day of travelling from Wangaratta, so our steps are getting a little slower now. SL at 6.02pm and have to give this one a favourite for sneakiness and cleverly named. Love it. #7303 TFTC BorisB&Natasha & Nut bear
Funny how after so many thousand caches you just make assumptions.
Ah, fenceline!
Bison on a fence...not here...or here...or here...or here...
Pacman - found it! Not hanging on the fence. Facepalm.

Today we headed south on a warm Autumn day caching from Hasting to Somers, we found your cache along the way.
We revisited this trail to change our previous DNFs to smilies. Cache and contents were in good condition.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

#3988 We are down from NE Vic for the long weekend for a bit of caching fun on the Peninsula. Today we targeted the Red Hill series which has been on our wish list for a long time. We started from the Merricks end at 9:45am and finished up in Red Hill for lunch. A bewt walk on a bewt day completing a bewt GC series 
. A few muggles enjoying the trail today but it didn't interfere too much with completing the well hidden caches.
Nothing "Standard" about this series, this has been a fun series of creative caches along this beautiful trail. Mrs BGF spied this hide before too long. TFTC!

Timely to escape the smoke and fire threats in the NE and catch up with some buddies in Somers AND get out on the MTB to explore the trail since it’s not really beach weather. A great series and so much care and thought has gone into creating lots of fun hides. TFTC series
This cache alluded me on our eastward journey but on our westward return I was prepared and quickly found the cache while my sons provided a distraction to the passing muggles and their dogs.
Thank you BorisB&Natasha and Nut Bear for this cache and the series.

Found at 11:18 AM GAFF3.
Oh just great! As I was looking here and there, a donkey came up to me to see what I was doing, which then meant that a group of muggles came rushing over to see the donkey! I had to be very skillful to grab the cache, sign it and return it while the muggles were fawning over the donkey.
Thanks BorisB&Natasha

Trekking along the red hill rail trail for the first time with a local mazzystar. Approached from the right angle and spotted GZ. TFTC
I saw this series once I was up Arthur’s dear, thought I would have a go at a few via my bike, most of the caches were easily found although the logs are quite damp or drenched and need fixing up.
Today was a good day out, made my way down to safety beach/Mornington Peninsula area for a CITO and event. Then headed back via some bike caches. All finished off with an experience with the police.

In search of the missing jewels to solve the mystery at the museum. This was also a great opportunity to complete the Red Hill trail. Found the third and last of the stolen Topaz at this cache. TFTC
