Easy find with yummty az eats- again thank you for bringing us to this gorgeous place Tftc
I think I took the hard way up to this cache, but I figured my legs could do with the workout and small bush bash.. hopefully, I've found the gentler path out.left I ..great little place to explore
A beautiful spot and walk up on a cold and wet but sunny morning with wallabies all around..thanks for the cache.
Tftc helsinski. Out for a road trip in Sth Gippy with 3 geohounds and house guest. Mild summer weather made for great views, easy hunting.We took a needless short cut going up, easy trip back done. A few downed logs to choose from. Finally got the right one.
After wandering around clockwise I finally discovered the track leading up, and spot on coordinates resulted in a quick find.
On the way back to the car now after buying cupcakes at the Sunday market.
Yum yum!

Our final day among the iconic rolling hills of South Gippsland. Having spent the first part of the day in the terrific company of the Suscoe team, now we headed off for a few caches that we wanted to find. Green & lush at the moment, fantastic for the Angus, Guernseys, Holsteins, Illawarras & Ayshires who claim the hills as home.
Our final cache for the day, a delightful place to be just past 30k.
Thanks helsinski for placing interesting caches for everyone's enjoyment.

Heading to Korumburra for a look around as it was still raining in Inverloch today, I took a detour through this little town as there were 3 caches to look for. No worries making my way to this cache and finding it, however didn't take enough notice of my bearings on the way down and missed the track and soon after I was back at the top again! Mild panic moment before retracing my steps and finding the right way down. Thank heavens for the foresight of that Councillor back in the 70's to preserve areas like this for us to enjoy today. Thx helsinki for the cache here too.

The weather was looking good and I needed to get out of the house, with restrictions lifted in regional Vic I headed out to explore more of Gippsland, armed with My mask and Sanitizer, I had a great day exploring the region, this is one of the caches I found today. No trouble with the walk or with the find, nice location to visit.
Thanks helsinski for the cache.

Love that geocaching gets you walking. Nice hill! Love the vegetation type signs tftc
#17401. Out and about touring with Robmc and awphoto and here we are at the Kongwak Market. A busy day.
A bit of a steep walk for a non-walker but a smilie added today.
Thanks helsinski

Staying at Fish Creek with awphoto.
Today with BettyBoo3747, we visited the market at Kongwak, and we could not leave without doing the local caches.
A nice walk up the trail today, and a good sized cache at the top.
Not a lot of a view from the lookout, but a lovely forest all the same.
Thanks, Robmc.

Our last find for the day in a peaceful location.
Ascended the hill and enjoyed reading the information boards as we went.
Near gz, an obvious trail was spotted which led right to the cache.
Signed the log and returned back to its spot.
Thanks to helsinski for this cache!

A very quick find here. Thanks for the cache steep hill, cache was uncovered so hid a bit better
Driving past this town on the way to Inverloch, it was raining. However on the way back, the rain stopped just before the turn off and I thought I would risk it.
With the rain threatening to start again, I didn't waste any time here. It was too slippery to run up, but on way down once I started slipping all I could do was continue running. Did the whole loop and found both caches in under 15 minutes.
Almost went bush too early for this one, but stayed on the path until the last moment and found this nice sized container in the obvious place in good condition.
Thanks for the cache helsinski

Out & about with non-geo-son & granddaughters instead of being cooped up in the house. Heh heh heh elder gd was a bit cranky & didn't want to get out of the car & go for a walk but settled down after the first few minutes A nice walk up one side & down the steep side. Knees didn't really appreciate the steep-steep down but I managed [:o] Cache was found, admired, signed & returned as found. [8)] NGS was happy to get the Pokestops & Ingress bits on the downhill side so both adults were happy Thanks for the cache.
Total walk for the day was over 7km

After a nice hike up the hill and reading the sign about green cobra orchids we found a little cluster of them growing in the middle of the path! Geokids took the phone and found the cache in no time. What a fantastic little spot.
Just goes to show that you should trust the coordinates. The gps was taking me away from where I thought the cache would be but sure enough within 5 metres and there it was. Lovely view and my heart got a workout.
What foresight on the part of Councillor Miles in saving this lovely area. I really enjoyed the opportunity to wander around and read the informative signs, as well as finding a couple of caches Thanks Helsinki
Beautiful walk. Found with Granny Davis. Left some light reading material. Enjoy!
Find 1609
We took the steep track and soon we were on top.
Cache found without too much of a problem. Log signed and all back again.

After a nice walk up here & looking out for snakeys the gps led me to the prize... Tftc
After finding the cache down the hill on the way up the hill, this one was a nice quick find. However, I was almost muggled while signing the log, as a lovely lady came along taking photos.
I had no choice but to spend the remaining time in the park having a yak about all think conservation and land management related. It turns out she is studying the same diploma I studied years ago, and we spent a good 10 minutes talking about fires and their effect on the landscape (it was a hot day!).
Anyway... thanks for the cache... I enjoyed the hike
P.S. replaced pen as it wasn't inking.

I am sure that I have been here for a cache before. An enjoyable stroll after lunch and an easy find too, thanks helsinki.
Just a little walk up the hill from the last cache I just visited. After finding found the track actually continued to the coords. Thanks for the wonderful cache helsinski.
Found this cache with Geobears and Allanb. We took the long way to get to this cache, thank goodness for the seats at the top.
We took the long way around but eventually got to the top and found it.Found it with The GeoBears
Completely nearly died walking to the top for this one. And here i was thinking i was fit wont be tricking myself again. We did see a couple animals on our way up the hill. Perfect spot for a cache tftc with geodude#74
Good to have a rest from driving and stretch the legs. Nice walk to the top and saw a wallaby on the way. Good spot for a cache. Found with Lilmissgeo. TFTC!
Cool day for a short climb. Cache all good. Left 2 TBs in this reasonably sized cache.
Great view after steep climb. I've been leaving these two for cooler weather a time to take it slowly. Glad I did. Lots of rests on way up got me here. Took TB left golf ball picked up the other day. Thanks for bringing me to another hidden gem of South Gippsland Shire.
It's a long way up the hill for the geo kids (ok for the geomums.). Found as soon as we arrived in geozone. First for the day with the culverts.
Suscoe had a bit of exploration work today trying to find a good number of caches that we missed this week as we were wandering the countryside of this area.
We are enjoying wandering the country roads and taking in the farmland scenes around here, Some fine looking cattle too.
A cloudy start to the day with drizzle keeping things cool, a strong wind at times and later on some delightful sunshine too.
19th find of the day.
Well what a terrific walk to GZ, had the cardio rate working pretty well and then the find was made.
The walk back down was interrupted by a huge branch across the track, glad Suscoe wasn't underneath when it landed, within the last few days by the look of it.
Thanks to helsinski for bringing suscoe to this great spot.
A favourite.

What better way to spend you Australia day, with an afternoon of geocaching. Geo hubby and I went for a drive south to find caches, have a nice lunch and then grab a few more caches before heading home. I'm not a big fan of up hills, but thankfully the walk back to the car was quick and downhill! TFTC
Found at 3:22 PM GAFF1.
After a wonderful lunch at the Coal Mine Cafe with Gonefishen07, we then headed off north to do some of the closest caches that we haven't found around here. Got to the bottom of the hill and thought that it was going to be a quick run up, but boy is that hill deceptively steep [xx(] Stilb it was a nice walk, but we didn't really see much around due to the growth of the trees. Wish we could have driven up actually
Thanks helsinski.
Feedback: Container was pretty much in full view when we found it. Covered it up with some leaf litter to disguise it a bit.

Nice little spot. Cache seemed to be about 5m from my gps coords, but it was in a nice, obvious spot. Took the candle. Left a girl (toy, not real) tftc.
After picking up the cache at the bottom of the hill, I was volunteered to hike up and get this one as her back was starting to play up. Once at gz the cache was a quick and easy find, and was soon tucked back in it's hide. There was no view from around gz, and I didn't have time to explore the other paths with Geoturtle37 waiting below. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.
frmen1 got this the other day and said I'll take you up the least steep way. Yeah, right! My poor creaky knees. Found quickly without frmen1's help (used hint). My gps was 9m out. TNLN TFTC
Quick find using the accurate coords. Very nice walk and wonderful to walk through all the bird life. Thanks for placing this cache.
After a not so flat walk to locate the cache signed and replaced it
I decided to take another track back which of course was the right
way. Thanks helsinski FTC.

Found @ 1500 pm. Nice views from top. Final climb was fairly steep but nice to sit on seats and recover. TFTC SL.
