Tftc. We have an oak in our front yard but going on the girth of this beauty it's still got a lot of aging to do, even if ours is 45 years old. What a wonderful granddaddy this oak is!
We arrived near GZ at about 3:30 pm and decided that it was a little busy to look especially with a crossing attendant not far away. We returned about an hour later and all was quiet. A quick search found the container. TFTC
Looking forward to seeing this one come back online. A lovely peaceful park with simply beautiful examples of and old oak tree. Thanks for placing the cache here. 
4 or 5 clearly suitable spots. Extensively examined each. No cache to be found. Two Caching teams with a total of 6 people looking.
We searched around the area for about 20 mins and could not find the cache anywhere
I found it and i forgot a pen i had to bring it home and write in it and will return it the next day
In town for a funeral the day before we decided to grab some caches on the way back home. Lovely place to stop and admire this big old tree. TFTC
Found the cache easily enough but no log, so luckily enough I had a spare in the car I could use. What a magnificent example of an oak tree it is! Remarkably the ground wasn't soggy at all despite everywhere else being at least like a soggy sponge after all the recent rain.
Team BigNoonaBV were out for an afternoon of caching in the sun and found this one. That certainly is a large tree! The cache was found in a likely spot, we signed quickly as it was approaching the busy school pickup time. Thanks for the hide
Found whilst caching with NoonaB. Team BigNoonaBV was out for an after noon of caching and trying to soak up sunshine.
A nice area with some great Oak trees, the caches hidey hole was quickly found, what a great place for a cache, a nice little area. Thanks for the hide.

Found it rather easily! May need something to help get it out. Beautiful day... but we didn't have a pen! Ugh. Rookie mistake. TFTC.
We had looked for this cache during two previous visits but, subsequently, we learnt that the cache was missing during both these visits. We were passing through again today and noticed that the cache had been replaced and was being found consistently. So we headed back to GZ where we were finally able to make a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks tb142 for the cache.
Replaced the cache today. Hopefully it will not get juggled again. Placed in deep so you will need an extraction

TFTC! Easy find!
Interesting there are now 2 caches there not just one!
Some people leave strange things in caches I know, this is pretty strange item to leave!!

Found cache a few meters away from the tree, log book gone. Messaged CO. How sad they need to fix up yet again. Beautiful old tree though. Thanks for the cache
Yay first to sign the new log dodging people playing in the park and trying hard not to look suss was a whole other issue
Went to check this today but too many muggles

Great first find to our GeoCache location. 2y/o and 5 y/o enjoyed finding this 'Treasure'
We picked this cache up at 4:48pm. We both walked around the tree a few times before I made the find
Sharkiefan and I headed out east (and north a bit) to go to day1976's birthday in Wallhalla. We picked up a few caches on the way home. it was a long but great day out. We had the great idea that since it is impossible to clear out Melbourne of every cache, we should clear out Trafalgar, just because we could.
Thanks for the cache tb142.

We found this cache today at 4:10pm as number 25 of 32 on our Longwarry to Moe Trail. we had to bypass this one on our first pass due to people playing with their dog at GZ. Second pass we had the place to ourselves. Thanks from D & HA B-A.
Cache was on ground near tree so I have put back in a position I thought it would be in tftc
A quick and easy drive by in a pleasant park area as we cache our way around the area today with mcsee&petal. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.
In town in company of Papillon4506 as we attempt to find some of the local town caches.
A nice find here , thanks kezza1211 for the cache and placement.

Wow, we were sitting in bed at 9:30 at night checking the app for the first time and went looking for this geocache, found it one down one million to go. Haha funny.
What a stunning tree! We were out for an Easter Sunday drive after having lunch with family in Warragul. Took our time at this spot as we couldn't help but keep looking up. Geokids and I thought about Enid Blyton's magic faraway tree and what worlds would be up there. Once we began looking cache was quickly found and extracted by Geokid#2. TFTC.
Took a bit of courage to put my hand in there. But got it. Nice spot to break the drive back from Bairnsdale.
Arrived at a deserted GZ. Found in the first place i looked. What great trees these are! Thanks for bringing me here.
Unusually quiet here today also found the cache and log outside it's home... Tftc
Found this cache whilst touring the area with misschief18 and Bentley TB. All Good with the cache

Stopped in Trafalgar on our way home to visit an old friend and saw this was just around the corner so as we left stopped to make the quick find before continuing on homeward. Tftc
Quick find for the day what a lovely park to find hidden away with grannygeo64 tftc

What a splendid oak tree. It was reminiscent of another wonderful day when my niece was married under a similarly large example TFTC tb142
This is a nice park with a couple of beautiful old trees. Found an extraction tool close by to remove cache.
