Hey! Not sure if this one is still there, as we read the owners note only after reading the logs. Anyhoo, we couldnt spot it today, but it was a nice enough place to visit regardless. Cheers!

After visiting the kids Nan in a facility nearby, we came here to find a treasure before we started heading home. We had a little piece of paper we could change for the logbook, but no bags. all we had was a black disposable glove, which the logbook is in to keep it dry.

We were visiting friends in the area over the long weekend and decided to incorporate some geocaching during our visit. It was a rainy day, so we opted for some tenpin bowling. On our way there was a break in the rain and we decided to go in search of this one. It is located in a really beautiful area and the container was brilliant. Deserves a FP! TFTC!
 
07-Apr-23
Starting early in the morning we had the place to ourselves for finding this cache. The little bunnies walked right past it but Mum's eagle eye spotted something straight away. Nice job with the design. TFTC
 
06-Apr-23
Nice local park next to a small lake
 
06-Apr-23
Awesome plain-site hide. Sent photos to my 3d-printing son who will be very impressed. TFTC and another FP from me.

27-Mar-23

WoW - this was an awesome geocache for our last Victorian LGA, now we have all the Victorian LGAs.
When we found the geocache, there was only a scrap of paper in it, I hope it’s ok with the CO as we added a geocache log book to the container.
This is why we enjoy geocaching, as it takes us to so many amazing places around the country.
A favourite point from us for this creativity.
Ducks are happy to see the visitors Smile
TFTC
 
27-Mar-23
Clever hiding spot
 
02-Mar-23
It appears to be missing. Not on the pole anymore
 
27-Feb-23
A mild morning greeted us here in Traralgon.
Just perfect for caching with a good bit of cloud cover.
Thanks to Pauleigh for this hide.
A favourite from us for the special container, well done!!!!

Lots of ducks nearby hoping we had some food.

I had organised for a weekend in Gippsland... with Saturday allocated to caching... with Sale being the focal point for the day... to visit the grave of Allan McLean for the Victorian Premiers Wherigo... Having completed the "all important" Wherigo task, I was back to Traralgon for the night... and still looking for caches.

This cache attracted my attention because of the number of Favourite Points it has. Arriving at GZ I was a bit puzzled... the typical hides for this type of location weren't being used (and wouldn't normally attract large numbers of Favourite Points either). I stood there perplexed... and then I noticed the *point of difference* that was just here. Yes, it was the cache... a fabulous construction that is deserving of another Favourite Point.

Thanks **Pauleigh** for a fabulous cache.

What a very clever geocache. One of the best disguises I've seen in plain sight so far. I tip my hat to you. TFTC

Our first one ever!!
 
15-Nov-22
Out on a rather wet day to do some caches with Kbucky and Tiz13 in the Tyers Area. Having our plans slightly cut short due to a fallen tree across a track we wanted to take we decided to head back in to Traralgon to clean up a few unfound caches in town. Great work on this one, I had no trouble finding it. We checked out the three wise ducks close to GZ.

Thanks Pauleigh for the cache.
 
15-Nov-22
Cool cache worth a fave point. Out caching with Rebel Acts and Tiz. I was at gz when Rebel just walked up and plucked it right under my nose! Tftc Pauleigh. Nice work
 
15-Nov-22
The long belated wait to sign this log that was located a few months back. I was unable to sign the log previously because of a cache glitch. Today I returned with Kbucky and Rebel Acts who swiftly located the cache before kbucky was able to see it. Log was signed and correctly replaced and we all turned to admire the 3 nearby ducks. In true Tiz13 fashion I then proceeded to talk to the ducks asking them if one of their names was Peking..they were very friendly but I expect they thought we might have came bearing food.

Long awaited fav point finally given for cache creativity.
