Sorry to say it's time for this cache to go as I'm unable to preform any maintenance due to work commitments.
Given recent activity in the area near Gz and the removal of the pine tree this cache is in need of a visit from the CO.
Not a happy cache for us today. À lot of clearing and felling has occurred in this area recently. There are no trees consistant with the hint within 30m of GZ only a pine stump about knee high. Even after an extensive hunt and widening our area of interest out to 25m we found nothing. Another dnf for us.
Nothing in cooee of GZ that matches the hint but the remnants of what we thought that it may refer to. Did not fancy spending a lot of time on this one, especially with the other string of DNFs.
I have placed a small container in lieu of the orginal.
I will arrange for a larger one soon.

Together with Spade52 I traveled for almost 6 weeks through Down Under Australia. We made our trip, using a Spaceship rental car, visiting the 5 most southern states of Australia, New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia and Australia Capital Territory. I was the driver and Spade52 the navigator. We mostly avoided the motorways and mainly used the coastal roads that led us through many small nice and rustic villages and sleeping towns. We stayed in motels, backpacker hostels and occasionally a campsite. Luckily the weather was very agreeable during our trip with nice temperatures and little rain. We especially enjoyed the nature, the (for us) extraordinary flora and Australia's wildlife. On our trip we visited many geocaches. All CO's thanks for showing us many interesting and special spots.
On our way from Sydney to Melbourne, using the Princess Highway, we stopped in Moe to spend the night in a hotel. In the morning we went out to find some geocaches. We quickly found this cache. Very nice hide.

Sunny light breeze perfect day .. went to move container to open.. ooops not happening lol... good one... Took nothing left erasers...
Find #6 of the day whilst down in Moe. The cache was quickly found after the GPS settled eventually. TFTC!
Before leaving home I decided that I would throw my bike in the van so I could tackle the MTY Trail after finishing the 2 jobs I had in Moe toady. Yes This cache did make me Happy.sl Thanks Poiter.h for the cache
This cache had a number of ingredients that made us happy. Firstly, we found it and secondly it was a nice sized one that was easy to find. We had some trouble early on and that always knocks the confidence. This one was a ride up, quick dismount and then an almost instant find.

The call of the Rail Trail got to us, so BettyBoo3747 and I loaded up the deadly treadlies and set off for Moe and the MTY trail.
Very happy to see an ammo can! Always pleased to find one, far too few of them around.
Thanks, Robmc.

# 7470. The forecast for Moe was a hot summer's day so we decided to leave Melbourne early and head for the MTY. Robmc and I also hoped to log a Challenge we had recently noticed, once I fulfilled a couple more requirements today. We hit thick fog not far out of Melbourne which was not in the plan. Wet feet and a fraying temper to start the day.
This was where we sighted the last of the muggles - 3 returning bike riders - now we have the trail to ourselves for the rest of the ride. Soon found this big one nestled comfortably. Quite a few nice swaps inside but we left them and unfortunately I didn't bring the large TB I need to drop off. Rehid and again back to continue this enjoyable ride.
Thanks Poiter.h

A happy cache - a happy Cacher. Should be more of them. Thanks for this hide. I like them.
I'm happy 'cos it's a big cache container. TFTC Poiter.hGreat swaps! The geokids would love this one, took Winnie the Pooh, left happy meal toy.
A fairly quick find, after nearly being bowled over by a dirt biker who obviously thought the trail was his own personal dirt race track!
Great cache, left something but took nothing 
we're lovin' it 
TFTC found with Roland Views

Very happy to return to this cache without a baby on my back and make the quick find. Very satisfying cache too even if it was raining. Tftc
Our first ammo can in over 100 caches (yay, I hit that target today). Great swag but as we had no children with us, TNLN. May have to do a return visit with our great-niece one day.
We should be head home, maybe a couple more caches.
I liked the cache name and contents TNLN SL
thank you the cache Poiter.h

A really quick find on a great sized cache full of goodies though I had no swaps on me nor a child who wanted to take something. I came away very McHappy though, TFTC Poiter.h!
A quick find at 10.30am on our way back to Melbourne from Walhalla.
The kids that find this will be very happy!!

Was nice to find a nice sized cache, actually had to sort through the swaps to find the log. Despite its size the cache was still hidden well. Thanks for this one and the others in the series.
A nice walk after a detour because of fires in the area the first find of the day left a tb tfth
A phone call from Slink1 asking ‘what’s on for the weekend?’ found us down in Morwell for other reasons and it was a case of well we’re here now and so the hunt began Many thanks to Poiter.h for the time and effort of looking after this cache. TNLN SL
Off on a weekend sweep in the Morwell area with many good caches found many thanks to Poiter.h for the effort and placement of this cache TNLN SL
The day was warming up so this was our last cache for the day. As we approached this one we could hear nearby frogs enjoying the cool water. This was a cool hiding spot. Thanks Poiter.h
This could make some kids very happy, 12•05 am on a nice warm morning it was still worth the walk for a STF. Well done fraggle_rock. THanks poiter.h FTC.
*FTF* with Fraggles. 
We were updating the GPS before bed, ready for an early trip back home, when three brand new caches were noticed on the map. We weren't sure how long they'd been published for, but we thought we'd try our luck. The kids were fast asleep, but as we were staying at their grandparent's house, we could duck out for a quick find (or three). It's always exciting opening up that log book on these FTF runs, and it's been a very long time since we've had the opportunity to have a go in these races. Thanks for more caches in this series - and this should make a fun power trail to complete next time we're down in Moe. Thanks for the caches!!
