Found it today with the family, added a new piece of paper as a temp log book, but requires Maintenance TFTC
Cache was out in the open and upside down, log book is totally soaked, tucked back under but wouldn't stay as designed.
Found with Nanton34 after a failed attempt at a nearby cache. Nice quick park and grab before a quick explore around town and a beer at the boat club.TFTC
Thanks for the welcome. Has a look a people surf fishing at the 90 mile beach. Plenty being caught today. TFTC
Thank you so much! What a fun little cache, this has now become a hobby of the Henzen family.
Find 4440 on December 27, 2023 11:37AMFound on our Gippsland holiday. We stayed at Sale for 2 nights and explored the area via the geocaching trail. Oh dear. Found this one in pieces but assembled the remains back into a functional cache and put in a new log sheet. Good to go again.TFTC Poiter.h
Looked for a while followed another hint from someone who found it but I had no luck this time
A quick park and grab. Mr 7 insisted on leaving as many things as possible as swaps in the container, and his Dad even came along too for this one. TFTC

Found while travelling with sharkiefan, on an extended long weekend.
Today we headed south to Loch Sport, back along the Shoreline Drive, adjacent to 90mile beach. Had a quick visit to Seaspray then back to Sale for the Arvo. After dinner we headed out multi hunting, and got a couple of trads too . This put us up in Maffra and we finally got back to the Motel just after midnight.
Used the mobi phone as a looking device, yep works well for these hides. Interesting little town here. So glad we detoured from our plans to have a look aroud it.

Found with FUF009.
Not too many finds today but it was all about the discovering.
A long boring drive into Loch Sport but it was really interesting from then on. Needs WAY more caches! I really liked it here. Tftc

Glad we didn't spend too long on this as the moszies were crazy. Great little town, tftc
We came down to Sale for the weekend to visit the Archibald Prize 2021 at the Gippsland Art Gallery. Grabbed this cache on a very wet weekend exploring the local area. TFTC
So lockdown is finally over in melbourne.
So me and the geo wife decide to head down to gipssland to a much needed get away and to do some caching.
Caching more on my part than hers.
So we started by heading down to a small place called The Honeysuckles stopping at a few caches on route.
Arriving we discovery, no electricity or water.. can't even flush toilets as water on electric pump...and of course no phone signal..
How am I going to find caches now?
So we have to pack up and head back up the road and ended in a motel in sale for a couple of nights.
A few days later power is restored and we are back in this beautiful beachside community.
After a few days we head towards Walkerville just across from Wilson prom. Was incredibly happy to find a cache directly behind the house we are staying in.
Anyway lots of caches found and TB's collected and some left.
Thanks for the hide and the cache
Log book signed and returned

Nice quick find on the way home from a day trip with the HallBags fam. Spotted heaps of Roos on the golf course while we were at it
Fortunately a quick find so the mozzies didn't have time to drink all of my blood, leaving me a shriveled husk.
Some welcome, that was.

A LOT OF MOSQUITOES.
We found it pretty quick but we forgot our pen to write on e sheet. there were spiders, bull ants and mosquitoes everywhere, I wouldn’t recommend going if you’re allergic to mosquitoes

After seeing a few spiders here I wasn't too keen on looking much more!! Luckily we found it pretty quick. tftc
After finding the multi, exploring the area and trying to find the trad on the causeway (but we did see what remains of the monster) we found this on our way out of town. I’m not a fan of spiders but we found the cache pretty easily (thankfully) tftc
We're out for an afternoon drive to check out the area and grab some caches. This was a nice, easy find - I must be getting better at this!
Thanks for find #1767

A cobwebby little hide on our way into Loch Sport - visiting here for the first time. TFTC
After not having much luck with the fishing at a nearby beach, we thought at least we might be able to get some caches.
This was a quick drive by on our way.

We had a weekend break in Loch Sport and after a morning of enjoying the sun and some paddling on the SUP we decided to take the 4WD track though to Point Wilson. I made the find there but after a fun family arvo I had no time for caching. Luckily I was tasked with heading out to pick up fish 'n' chips for dinner and was able to take a circuitous route and pick up another four caches. This was my third stop and I had a hunch where it would be on approach. I was able to park close by and my hunch proved correct as I quickly spotted and grabbed the cache. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables. Thanks for the cache Poiter.h.
Camping at Seaspray and filling in a rainy day with some geocaching with the family. Happy days! TFTC ️
Found this today on our holiday in Loch Sport. Had to kill time while my friend was getting his boat prepped so we decided to do some caches. TFTC.
Doghorse fish and bird sitting at Longford no chooks at the moment foxy needing Xmas dinner. While here will try to get a cache or two. This being one of them. Thanks Poiter.h FTC. NO MOZZIES at the moment.
Well the frog sized mozzies were in force today but they didn’t stop me losing this little cache, no they did not! TFTCpoiter!

Easy cache to find, great one for the kids. Got swarmed by mosquitos though so take some repellent with you when looking for this one.
We are spending five days in Stratford to explore the area. After a gunfire breakfast at the ANZAC Day dawn service and with no particular place to go we followed our nose south.
This was the first cache for the day and was found in no time at all.

Found after a couple of days working here. Loch Sport is a great place and the stay brought back memories of when I used to come here with my wife before we married. Tftc - took the pathtag
A nice quick find here today but it wouldn't have mattered as there wasn't another soul around..! SL TFTC
