How on earth did I miss that the last time I was here? I guess I’ve had a few more months solo caching practice in between! Nice hide, thanks.
With the long weekend looming we decided to head NOR for a days caching adventures. We left the deep south nice and early to ensure we were able to target a decent amount of caches. We had fun driving from cache to cache around here! Cheers and TFTC.
G’day there Hiddo, I was in this area today and found your cache Switched GC5EZAX. I added my name to the log book at 1:07 pm on 26 January 2019. A huge thanks to you for placing this cache here for us (and others) to find!
This cache find brings our total find count to 10329. Woohoo!!

A not so quick one for us today. But we got there in the end when GPS finally did settle down.
TFTC Hiddo. We left a log behind which we signed and placed in the cache.

Found it but missing log. Only pen I found it. Sorry I don’t have any spare log paper
Thanks for the cache
Thanks for the cache
Found it but no log sheet only biro sorry i didnt have spare. Thanks for the cache and hunt.
This cache was found today and brings our overall cache find tally to 9933. We found this as part of our 2018 Round Australia trip.
This confused me for a while but I eventually made the find, just had to turn myself upside down.
Thanks Hiddo for the cache.

Found wet log and pen inside only. Thinking it may have gone for a swim with all this rain. Luckily my gel pen was able to sign. Could do with at least a snap log bag or another container to put log into inside this cache as water and this 'thing' should never mix.
Nice short walk. Beautiful park. Both TB's in inventory are gone - likely from the storm noted previously. Used new log from last finder to sign. TNLNSL. TFTC
Found the container but nothing inside. Left a gel pen and a piece of paper.
Very sneaky. I dismissed this on first look but after reading the logs it was clear. No logbook there though. TFTC

Found this cache fairly quickly! Looks like the storm didn't do any damage to the cache itself. The log was dry, but clearly had been soaked before and was no longer suitable to write on. I put in a new small piece of paper which might serve for the next eight logs (or so). Unfortunately didn't find the trackable that was supposed to be inside! The cache was hidden in a very nice, creative location. Thanks for hiding and maintaining this cache and showing me this part of the Herdsman area!

Found on the 28/12/17 but couldn't log due to phone issues. Also left TB but couldn't log that either
The second of two caches I found today in the park across the road from my head office 
Arriving at GZ, I was pleased to see no muggles around. The search ensued, and a nifty little container was retrieved
I added my name to the logbook, but upon returning the cache, I had trouble getting the lid to securely stay put. Im assuming that magnets used to do the job, but after the last finder found it in the water, i'm sadly assuming that this is where the cache will be headed again in the not-to-distant future.

Going for a nice morning bike ride around Herdsmen lake to find the rest of the geocaches around the lake.
A good hiding spot for this geocache. Cover had come off and fallen into the water from some time so extracted it and now back on
That brings us to 307 finds now!
Cheers,

Found the cache quickly. Log and container was completely wet. We took out everything and dried a bit. TFTC
Was a bit of a wet day. We eventually found it but the log was completely waterlogged (was found outside the container that would possibly keep it dry). We took it home and dried it out. Now back in place. Hopefully it will stay dry this time!
I think I found it - all the rains have flooded the structure it is hidden within. The container is certainly out of place and fits with the cache title - but the lid is off and gone and there are no contents. Maybe check on it Hiddo. Thankyou
My first find on my last day in Australia. Almost gave up, but read some logs and then spotted the clever hiding spot. Tftc!
Spotted it straight away cos I thought it looked out of place...and then I realised why! Haha. Great find. 
Gps had us miles away ( must have put it in wrongly) so used the phone and found it thanks to the subtle hint. Nice camo. A fave.
Found the cache. All we found was the plastic bag with the log paper inside, but nothing else.
Den See umwandert und diesen Cache schnell gefunden. Besten Dank fürs Verstecken, für die Runde geben wir gerne eine blaue Schleife und greetings from Switzerland.
Exploring the north and east sides of Herdsman today, with the goal of getting to my 100 finds.
A beautiful area, such an array of wildlife. Snakes were a concern but found the giant spider webs were a bigger threat
This is #99 for me
This was quite an easy find.
Opened container and signed log too

Tough to know how to log this. Found a thing with a thing inside that matches previous logs but couldn't open the thing to sign it. Seems to be another thing nearby as decoy. So logging it as found.
Primile and I enjoyed a beautiful walk here around the lake. Beautiful place Happy New Year ! TFTC and cheers from Austria
Happy New Year ! TFTC and cheers from AustriaThank you! Met up with sabs20 for a new year's day cycle around Herdsman Lake. There was no one about early in the morning, and sabs20 soon found the cache.
Spotted a decoy first but as we were leaving, Col spotted the actual cache and the dry log was signed. TFTC
