4 of us looked for ages in lots of different places and found what we thought was the hide. sadly no log so can't confirm. messaged the CO but no response Lots of guardians hanging around including numerous goannas, dragons & ANTS!!Awesome spot and would fave it even without finding the hide if I could.

Heading back home after our holiday exploring the East Gippsland forests. Thought I'd grab this as we left. A bit tight towing the caravan, but managed to get in and turn around. Found a handy twig to help with the retrieval of the log sheet, signed and clawed our way out of there. A pleasant spot. tftc.

An easy drive to GZ as we were in a high clearance vehicle. Started the search on the wrong side of the road but after reading some logs made a fairly quick find.
FP from us.

I had tried to get to the Pump House track a fortnight ago, but Coulsons Rd was closed for logging Operations and wasn't reopening till August.
This time I went via South Boundary Rd.
Made my way down to the Pump House and started searching. I ran out of time so headed back out. When I got back to Coulsons Rd. I turned left to have a look to see if it was still closed, and it wasn't. I was soon back at the Hwy.
I PAF and got a hint to where I should be looking. It seemed that my GPSR had me on the wrong side of the track.
After I had finished the job I was in the area for, I headed back out to the Pump House.
With the new information that I had received, I had soon located the well camoed cache and added my name to the log.

Heading into NSW on a relaxing few days away sightseeing and caching, not trying big note ourselves on what caches we get or don’t get while here, but to enjoy each others company.

A nice drive in here and a relatively easy find.

Thanks to the CO for the placement here.

Another one done. Woo Hoo! I love the challenge of the geocache hunt - read the notes, decipher the cache requirements, and go searching for the hide. This is an amazing world-wide game of hide and seek. I love it! I also enjoy caching with my family, and meeting fellow cachers. It really is a small world when I read over cache logs. **Thanks go to JedWilko** for placing this cache and maintaining it. It's a great contribution to the Geocaching community and much appreciated.

I enjoyed finding this one at 3:43:01 PM.
TFTC! Cheers. *Jump Pilot* Cool

Found as we wind our way from Melbourne to Canberra the long way around picking up some stray map zones for a challenge cache as we go. Being dedicated caches we never take the shortest direct route to anywhere, except the next cache of course Smile. After a wrong turn down someone's driveway we found the right track in to gz and got to work sniffing out the cache.This tricky little customer kept us busy for several minutes and plenty of dead ends before I spotted something not quite right. A tricky little hide that gets a favourite point from us. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.

Absolutely loved the drive down to this one. Sometimes I am not game enough to explore these places, especially if I don't know if they are going to just keep going. It is great to find someone has done the hard part for me. Thanks so much for the cache and bringing us here.

I went to find this cache as it was one I was missing in the D/T matrix but knew it wouldn't be straight forward. Started out with not finding the right track and finished about 1km away, decided just to head straight for it on foot. Finally got to the pump and started looking. Couldn't find anything so I widen my search then saw something that didn't look quite right, bingo and I finally got to sign the log. TFTC and a fav from me

Was about to call a DNF here, then saw something that should be there, but this was different, even had the TOTT to enable me to stamp my sign, Thanks JedWilko, a very tricky hide, and even trickier road in and out

Today we explored Orbost and surrounds using geocaching as a guide and picking up a few caches on the way and this was one of them. Had fun getting to GZ as we started to head to the wrong side of the river. After looking on the Hema we navigated our way to GZ. Had to widen our search to find this one but soon had it in hand.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment

Yey an easy unloved cache. Well not quite it did take 20 minutes to find. Searched the obvious spots then was reassessing when I noticed something a little bit more shinny then everything else. A quick kick and the cache was discovered and stamped. The roads in have sadly been upgraded due to the wood chipping occurring. So it's all a lot simpler to do this difficult cache. Tftc favourite awarded lovely bit of the brodribb river as well. Sadly noisy from the pumps running.

Not a good start, went down two wrong tracks.
Drove the 2WD places some would not.

Took a long time searching the wrong area, because of GPS.
A Poor Tradesman Always Blames His Tools, in this case it was the GPS fault.

Started thinking about calling a friend for help.
When I had a 'why is that there' moment
that's not the normal looking _____ ___ ___.

Thank you for the hide JedWilko

We are staying at the Orbost caravan park and we headed off to find a few caches. This one lead us on a merry chase. We took the wrong track first, we took the Knock Up track had to open a couple of gates to get within two hundred metres of the cache but ofcourse on the wrong side of the water. OK so nothing is achieved with little enthusiasm. Back we went retraced our steps and found another trail, this time after an interesting downhill drive to got to within metres of gz. Then the search started. We looked high and low. We let the gps settle down and it lead us in a different direction which then took a few minutes to find the cache. We loved it - the whole adventure and we enjoyed meeting with you today. Fav point alloc. Thanks to JedWilko.

We headed off a few days ago to do this cache, and our GPSr had us on the wrong side of the river. After the storms yesterday we headed off in bright sunshine to get this one: there were plenty of branches down, but we squeezed by. We did have a fright when a branch fell where the car had been only moments before. A very good and unusual hide Jed.
