Our last find for our day of caching on Sunday. Thankfully the cache was in the first place I looked and all in good order. What a beautiful view Thanks for bringing us here and TFTC!

Stunning view and worth the drive up unfortunately no find for us today, I wonder if it was supposedly to be held on by a magnet? If so, the reflector stick is bent and looks like it was hit by a car.

The name says it all. [^]
Christine and I enjoyed the Spectacular Views and also found the well hidden cache, in the first place I looked. Although it was found by feel not sight.
Thanks for bringing us here Bounty Trackers. Smile

The Sun had come out and living in Baw Baw shire we were not locked down so i decided to head out for a day out of the house and what better way than a drive around your own area picking up caches, Gippsland has some great locations to visit and lots of caches that have not been found in awhile, so with my new caching gear gloves and sanitizer I had a great time touring around the area finding caches and exploring new places. Loved the view from here, everything looking so green at the moment.

Thanks Bounty Trackers for the cache.

Tftc Bounty Trackers. Failed this one quite a while back and today thought to come up and check out how widespread the bushfire smoke was: it's everywhere, including to the south.
Spent more than my usual 15 min max trying to find it, checked a misleading previous log, and got into the jalopy to leave.
Engine on, fold up the phone, then "I wonder if it's not a usual hide" and sure enough hopped out and found it straight away!
Headed down the hill to Yarragon and back to Moe.

A little tricky. Great views
 
19-Oct-19
Broken tree, nothing hanging over paddock as logs suggest... no luck today!
 
19-Oct-19
Shaimarelle and I headed to the farmers market today and decided to go do some caching on the way home. This was the one of the ones we found. Cold windy day on top of the mountain but still a beautiful site. TFTC and bringing us here.

Whilst still parking the car, OHC had jumped out and found the cache. Problem was, it was so cold that it slipped out of her fingers and into the cow paddock. Luckily there was a gate nearby, so she quickly retrieved the cache and after we had signed it, put it back where it should have been. Thanks for the cache and the views. They would be magnificent on a clearer day.

A relatively quick find. But just as I reached to pick it up, it tumbled from its hidey spot and rolled down to the paddock below.
I snuck over the gate and tip-toed over to retrieve the runaway, before signing the log and carefully replacing it back in position.
Cheers Bounty Trackers

Gippsland and especially the Latrobe Valley is one of the nicest areas in the world. I’m a bit biased because I grew up around this area and went to high school in Traf. There is the green lushness and the snow on the Baw Baws in winter and the different colours of harvesting during summer. A nice easy find for the drive to get here.
 
22-Dec-18
Well!!!!! It was a challenge navigating here . And the challenge now is - how do I get home????????? TFTC
 
15-Dec-18
This morning I opened the coffee tin to find a alarmingly low coffee supply.. oh no! So this afternoon we decided to take a family trip to Yarragon to buy a new supply from our favourite supplier. Then we took a detour on the way home to get this one on a high recommendation from mummy short legs. As we rose higher miss 5 announced "I'll definitely be able to see the whole world!" And she was not far wrong! Amazing. TFTC!

After a Christmas present hunting trip to Yarragon, and with a calendar gap sitting over today like the nasty clouds over my car, the youngest spiderling and I decided to head into the hills. The detour we chose took us winding up these gorgeous, somewhat familiar roads and into the spectacular hills - the drive alone is worth a favourite point. The cache, well, it's not the focus of this area so meh, a happy little quick find, but the view is Instagram-worthy and already had two 'likes' and a comment of "AMAZING" by the time we'd descended to near Trafalgar. TFTC Bounty Trackers.

Took the wrong road and still got there in the end

This was our second find today at a cache location that offered great views reaching across the valley to the Baw Baws in the north. Great day, great views and a successful hunt for the cache. Time to go home while we're ahead!

Thanks to CO "Bounty Trackers" for taking the time to place these couple of caches!

Fantastic views. TFTC!

With a bit of help from the CO and a bit of maintenance while I was at it, this cache was found, logged and returned. Thanks for bringing me here Bounty Trackers, they surely are Spectacular Views.
 
17-Feb-18
Sorry no find. Scrabbled and scraped, crawled and climbed, hacked and hauled, rolled the cut branches around (twice), peered here, scratched me skin there but no cache in a limited searh area. Fantastic views though. Worked on a nearby landslip 25 years ago.
 
14-Nov-17
We had as much a search as you’d expect on a 34* day with long grass around. Looks we’ll have to come and admire the view again some time.
 
01-Sep-17
Spectacular views alright...so worth the drive up here Thanks Bounty Trackers
 
22-Jul-17
Second time up here. This time had more success. The scenery is absolutely fantastic and as today was a beautiful day it was even better.

I was heading to Traralgon for a days training tomorrow, with a detour to visit a friend in Mirboo North, so I took the opportunity to grab a couple of caches along the way. This was my second for the day, and once again, there were some spectacular views. (Of course, this should have been expected given the cache name). I found the cache in the first place I looked. Unfortunately, I didn't look hard enough the first time, and after looking everywhere else, I came back and checked it better before finally locating it.

My thanks again to Bounty Trackers for the cache and for the views.

TFTC. Deklan feels on top of Yarragon. What an amazing view.

After being told about the views up here and having a rare spare 15mins, I had to go and see for myself.
Well I wasn't disappointed with the views. (well maybe a tad as there was a far bit of smoke haze about across the valley on the Great Divide.)
I pricked the end of my finger on the barbed wire whilst searching for the cache, I soon had the cache in hand and I carefully signed the log as not drip any blood on the log book.

[Scrat visited your cache whilst on his Great Aussie Adventure.](https://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?id=4376822)

Favourite point given for the view.

TFTC and for brining me here Ash aka BountyTrackers

What a spectacular place. Even though after searching for 1 and 1/2 hours I could not find this little devil. The owner of the neighbouring property saw my car and decided that he had better see what I was up to - no good, I'll bet!!! Anyway, I explained what I was doing in the middle of a thorny bush and so he started to assist by looking also. He even climbed a tree. But, I looked at the terrain rating and explained to him that it would/should not be up the tree. I was invited to drive down to the end of his driveway and see just how fantastic the view is from where he is building their house. 180' views.
Thank you, Bounty Trackers, for bringing me to a place that I would never have seen but for your cache.
