Nice spot at the top of the grade. Found on a beautiful sunny day walking the Fish Creek - Foster section of the GSRT. Walked on a bit further and found the lookout. Thanks for the cache
Found by Facitman at 14:10
Heading to Gippsland for a long weekend out of Melbourne Mrs Facit and I stopped for a short walk along the rail trail after enjoying a lunch in Fish Creek. The walk was straight and flat and after returning to the car I continued a short distance to pick up this cache. As with most rural caches I followed the arrow to the regulation cache location for a quick find.
Thanks de ja vu for the well located cache.

#17382. A glorious sunny Saturday and we are set to ride the Trail from Fish Creek to Foster and return with the dog trailer attached and 2 doggies on board. The most scenic Rail Trail I have ever ridden. The surface was fantastic and the gradient nice and easy. The two doglets thought they were greyhounds and wanted to run and run for a good part of the journey. Both tiny tots with legs about 4 inches long.
The only disappointment was that our PQ's were a few days out of date so we didn't realise that most of the caches we aimed for were either disabled or archived. Bad timing on our part. A week too late. Fortunately we did find a few though.
The first find on the trail, after we had stopped at all the ones I still had in my GPS , but that are no longer in play. This is a really nice place for a rest and we in fact had our morning tea here, right on noon. Nice carvings/painitngs on the table and benches, but the weather is starting to take its toll on them. Now to continue and see what else we can find.

Staying at Fish Creek with awphoto.
Today with BettyBoo3747 and the geo-dogs, we rode from Fish Creek to Foster.
Collected a few odd caches and some great views.
Unfortunately, there seems to have been a lot of archiving in this section that we were not up with.
My first cache for the day after a lot of disabled/archived ones on BB's GPS.
A lovely spot with interesting designs on the picnic table.
We stopped for morning tea here.
Thanks, Robmc.

My wife was looking for a 30 kilometer plus track for a training run and I suggested the Great Southern Rail Trail as there was a number of geocaches on it that I hadn't found. We started at Meeniyan and she ran to Foster while we drove, walked and geocached our way there.
Wasn't expecting to find this here. 999HK and myself picked different trees to search and I picked the right one. Lovely carvings on the table at this location.
Thanks for the cache de ja vu

Stopped to enjoy the amazing carved artwork on the nearby picnic table. Very cool. Tftc
Day 4 of riding the GSRT and Bass rail Trail. The ride up was not that difficult and the picnic ground a good spot to rest before heading on and the lookout to Wilson's Prom. TFTC
A nice quick and easy find on a beautiful afternoon stroll around the area.
Spotted the edge of the container from a distance.
Rehid a bit better than I found it.

Catching up with some very late logs
We had set aside a few days to explore Gippsland with alansee endeavoring to aid him reaching 30,000 finds before the Queanbeyan mega event at Easter.
We visited rail trails, parks, mountains seeing beautiful scenery along the way as well as enjoying some lovely walks as well as some easy drive by's. The weather was mostly kind to us enabling us to search for the caches in comfort.
With time constraints today we only looked for those that were less than 500 metre walks from the nearest entry point but we did very much enjoy our strolls along this old railway line. Another trip is required to finish the series

We had a great day out riding and caching on the trail and if I was really fit we would have gone on longer. We will be back to enjoy a more of this great series. Tyftc

Pretty easy find even with the muggle on the lawn mower right in front of GZ Sat at the very pretty decorative table and inspected the small box. We both added some more swaps and I took the trackable to hopefully move it along a bit. TFTC!
It was funny to find a travel bug that I have had previously, in this cache. It was like finding an old friend! I left it there as I had already taken it on lots of adventures!

Easy find in a lovely picnic area along the Railtrail. Perfect weather after school holidays had finished so less Muggles around.
Found on a lovely day out on the GRST! After crossing the countless puddles at the picnic ground, it was a pretty quick find at GZ. Nice little spot. Took TB. TFTC de ja vu!
found "please find Matty" at Torra Wetland Bridge cache and moved it here to Picnic ground cache...
Working for the Dutch railways, I always have a special interest in caches that have to do anything with the railways. Unfortunately I didn't bring a bike (even though we cycle a lot in the Netherlands) and I'm only here for 1.5 day, so I wont be able to do the whole trail, but with my car I can always visit some of them. As with this one; parked the car a little further down the trail and walked a bit. Thanks for hiding!
During our Holiday in Ausralia we Found a lot of caches.This one was one of them. Found on a Trip around in Wilson Promodory .Thank you for the Cache and greetings from German geocacher

Feeling like a bike ride and some caching we decided that this would be a great place to accomplish both. And we weren't disappointed. Great Caches on a terrific trail on a beautiful day, it doesn't get better. Thanks de ja vu.
Unfortunately I lost my pen while doing the ride but a photo of the cache was taken as proof of the find. This can be forwarded if necessary. TFTC
Found quickly with frmen1 who had to delay putting it back due to horse riders. The contents were wet; the log damp. Dried it as best as we could. Took TB. TFTC
Quick find with tassie expat. Good coords. See tassie expat log re trackable. Nice spot, tftc
Wonderful picnic spot and great space to settle down for the next cache. 3rd find from Master glish as he must have keen eyes! What are the chances of a council worker mowing the lawns on a Sunday long weekend? We weren't muggled though. Left the sock puppet trackable.
A nice quick find in a secluded picnic ground along the GSRT. Discovered a TB too. Cache is in good condition. TFTC
Our second day, on the rail trail. The day started quite cool but ended up nice and warm by lunch time.
This is a great part of the trail, very enjoyable for bike riders.
Thanks to all the owners, for the effort that you put into the hides.
Many thanks for placing this cache, de ja vu, for us and others to find.
