After 10 years neither of the original old and new letterboxes have survived. No point in a letterbox cache being here any more.
Enjoying our day trip today, nice easy find, I always enjoy these letter box caches.

Day Trip: Home-Yea-Benalla-Myrtleford-Bright-MtBeauty-Whitfield-Mansfield-Home.
We decided to head out today as "The Chief Cook & Bottle Wash" was keen to view the autumn colours on the trees around Mytleford, Bright & Mt Beauty and today weather wise appeared to be the best for the coming week. This cache was along our intended route and fortunately an easy find. Not sure where the modern mail box is now but it certainly isn't there anymore.

First day of our mini trip to the high country. Rick is with a group of motorbike friends and Connie and geodog in the car. This was an easy stop and an eventual find. The more modern mailbox has been changed, but they still look an unlikely pair.
Found It!
This one took a bit of searching but eventually I spotted it right there in front of me.

After searching several trees (my GPS was having problems settling) I thought this might be a DNF, but then there it was, in front of me. Cache and log are okay. TFTC BettyBoo3747.
Found with LittleBoss2 on our trip from Bright to Everton. Quick find here on the way home. Thanks Bettyboo
Found with Bogonghazy on our way back to Bright. Thanks Betty boo for placing the geocache
Out with the family caching today. Started the morning with picking up a few of the HSS series in Murmungee, then onto Nug Nug, lunch at Lake Buffalo then drove Goldies Spur track and took in the amazing views of the Vic high country. Finished off the loop around Mt Buffalo at Myrtleford.
Homebound now. Picking a few up along the way. Few little ducklings on the water nearby.

Great spot - I used to live in Bright and headed past this point most days. But now live in Melbourne. Found this cache nicely again, a great spot!
Completed previously as BlackOpal2005. My daughter I thought it was time to create our own accounts.
Find 11 for the day on the way back to Wangaratta. Nice little duck pond next to GZ. SL at 14.40.
Found by Mary and David at 10:50. We both prefer the rustic variety. The day is warming up, and an idyllic scene on the water. One pair of ducks were escorting 9 ducklings - a very big family. Our thanks to BettyBoo3747.
Amazing how I’ve never seen these mailboxes before! Thank you for making me stop! Cache was super quick - think the setting sun helped it catch my eye! TFTC!!
A few days away with Shumba7 working on BettyBoo’s A - Z around Myrtleford. We have had a great time seeing some of the sights the area has to offer. Even though I have been here many times, this series has me seeing parts that I never knew existed. TFTC although I’m beginning to think BettyBoo is a nasty lady with fresh breath.
Camping at Nug Nug for a few days, Mrs Varmint arranged to meet a friend in Bright, so Crusty K9 and I went caching around the area. It was lovely and sunny as we searched, and we found the cache in good condition.
Tftc BettyBoo.

Sadly couldn’t find this one. Searched all the trees and area around the market but no luck 
I have passed this spot many times and had not taken any notice of these two mailboxes. Very clever name TFTC
Our 3rd letter box cache, so much fun. Now driving through the country side looking at everyone’s letterboxes.TFTC
On the way back from Harrietville so stopped here to check it after a couple of DNFs. It is here and in good condition ready to be found again.
Couldn’t find looked near letterboxes and all trees looked everywhere comments said yet couldn’t find. Bit of a bummer way to end a 12km bike ride
Probably last free day before holidays so I begged a pass out to head to Myrtleford to collect a few more of the mosaic caches (and anything else I could lay my hands on). Also found a new butterfly spot and added a few species to my lists. Weather was perfect, people about but not too and all caches attempted found so a good day all up.
Been a while since I have done 4 multis and 2 puzzles before getting a traditional cache but that was today's route (plus 4 ALs). Most after this were the traditional type. GPS wanted me the other side of the swamp so I closed and cranked up again and it had a more reasonable location. Cache quickly located and returned as found.

After inspecting the bridge nearby, we were ready to stretch our legs with a walk to this cache. It was quickly located, log was signed and we were on our way. TFTC!
It’s definitely small but easy enough to find especially when a lady that lives near by give you a hint haha
Great to hear the frogs in the damn while searching for the cache.
Found with Jackez74 TFTC

Back in our beloved Punkah, the whole OSHFAM clan including geo dog Roxy drove out to Myrtleford for lunch and vanilla slices from our favourite bakery, and now on our way back to Punkah caching along the way.
We had been meaning to stop here on many occasions noticing the letterboxes as we drove past. Today our mission was to stop, and we did. I really like the rustic letterbox. The other is too modern and looks like it’s leaning like the tower of pisa.
A short stroll to GZ on my own where I found a cute little cache. Cleverly placed. I like it. Cache and log in good condition.
Thank you for the cache here BettyBoo3747

We are staying in Bright for a few days with the MX-5 Car Club... and this mornings activity was a drive up Mount Buffalo and then the rest of the day was free to do as we wanted. We decided to visit Yackandandah... via Tawonga Gap... mainly because every time we go over the Gap with the car club, we never stop. After a stroll of Yackandandah's main street and some afternoon tea, it was time to head back to Bright... and a stop for this cache when we were nearly back.
Thanks **BettyBoo3747** for this cache... love the series even though I haven't found many of them.

Found during a school holiday visit to the North East.
This was a nice spot for a cache and a good hide.
Fresh Logsheet too!
Thanks for placing it for us to find today.

Another letter box with a cache nearby but well removed. It's always uncomfortable if they're too close so we enjoyed the search. Thanks.
Spending a few hours with Xambo4u caching along a section of this road. Mrs 80 spotted this one after a few minutes. TFTC
Out and about with 80 degrees having enjoyed a birthday lunch. Log book nearly full. Nice easy find. Thanks for all your caches BettyBoo3747
On our two month travelling trip through Austrialia, we are enjoying all the wonderful places and scenery. We will stop on the way to visit some nice caches as well. This one we could find.
