Wood Duck Morwell, Victoria, Australia
By Team Loesch on 10-May-18. Waypoint GC7PF82

On our way from Sydney to Melbourne we stopped also here in Morwell. Though it was such a rainy day, we made a little tour in this park. And got some caches as well. Tftc! Greetings from Finland!

Had no problem with this cache and it was quickly found. All is in good order. TFTC.

Had a mixture of cache types on the target list today while out caching with iloook4geo. This was a quick and easy find with good co-ords. Thanks for this cache placement go to Team Loesch.

Woos duck became one of my favourites thank you

Time for an afternoon walk with a purpose. I managed to find a collection of caches in the area. Thank you for creating a great set of hides. This cache was in good condition.

Dry, comfy and well maintained cache, good work, we took a little time to find it so well done and thank you

A new cache in place 2m away from original. No longer hanging about in a tree. No attributes have been changed.

Good to go.

There is a burn off in the area so have taken offline until can get in and inspect.CJJAHC

I dont think that the cache is in place anymore, I think its been mulched

I think that the cache has been mulched

Seems the muncher machine has cleared this area.Afraid the cache may have not survived.

TFTC. Found on a lovely day out with muggle family. I found this one. In good condition.

Grabbing some caches on a the trip to High country.An early morning walk through Crinigan Bushland ReserveThanks Team Loesch

Day two of a short trip into Gippsland with the deadly treadly for some caches.This morning I started in Morwell at the Crinigan Bushland Reserve.I seemed to have most of the park to myself. A nice ride around the parkI parked at the top corner of the Reserve and this was my fist cache.A bugger to get through the entrance as the gap for people was very small for the bike.A nice gap to get to the cache though.Thanks, Robmc.

11:08Based in Traralgon for a couple of days gave us the opportunity to explore the local area instead of just driving past heading for Bairnsdale. Crinigan Bushland Reserve was a great opportunity for walking and caching.The detailed cache notes gave us the feeling of being in an aviary with the birds - magic!Thanks to Team Loesch for creating this fabulous series. 35764

All good here and lots of swag for swapping

Out finding caches on a beautiful sunny winters day.
Sl thanks for the cache

Easy find

Found it with a small help from mushmoose

Tftc found with spakkles, felt like a duck

Nice spot. Good cache

Grand D2 again. Sharp eyes. We discovered we had lost 2 of our signing pens. Unfortunately... we were going to resort to signing with blood, when we found a spare pen and your pencil. We were "Saved" Found a treasure, left some treasures. Running out of daylight and bellies are grumbling.

Find by the schoolies of Mid Valley Early Education!

Absolutely no one here today but the humidity! Phew! Tyftc!

Quack it, the quacking quacked is quacked! Brute forces my way through the undergrowth so surely I deserve the smiley and trackable. Tftc

All good. Some fellow cachers around today.

Quick find. Love this idea. Tftc. Dropped trackable while here

Back again starting at another ends. I love this! TFTC

Tftf

Love it! So clever

Great cache and great walk

Yay finnaly found one ha. Took a lego and put in a dice.

Found with the Burge Boys. Great container and fun track to find.

Out and about with Au.fait with the aim to collect the Crinigan reserve caches we made this one a T3 epic fail in finding the trail in ...about 5 minutes ok may 10-15min eventually had us at GZ.

Having a wonderful day caching in the delightful company of Tiz13. We targeted the caches in the Crinigan Reserve and a few others as we do. I really enjoyed walking in this lovely resurrected bushland area and so pleased there is a friends group caring for it. Made this one waaay harder by bush bashing through very thick undergrowth but got ther in the end TFTC Team Loesch

Interesting access to this one & a nice secluded hide. Thanks

Out for a new year caching session, despite the heat it was a good day. Good day to be out as there was no else here , but being off track a bit that didn't matter with this cache
TFTC

Found after a bit of exploration

Had to bring my bike to Morwell to get fixed and thought it would be nice to do a little geocaching while I wait. What a gorgeous spot this is. A lovely walk. Thank you for bringing me here.
An unexpected cache that reminded me I should have brought water with me as it was getting hot and I had only just started this walk. A favourite for this great walking spot in a town

cache bigger than expected...

nice one, left a diamond

A veeerryyy late log! I remember having found this years ago but couldn’t recall signing it, but today’s venture confirmed that I had in fact signed it in May of 2019! Better late than never.

Cache in place and log dry

Nice sunny winters day for a stroll and some cache maintenance

CJJAHC

Tftc Team Loesch.
4 picked, 4 sought, 4 found. So a good 45 mins of hunting. Most ti.e spent was moving on between each. Only needed my phone (it's the only device I ever need) and pen, and a trusty little geohound came for the stroll. Fortunately I've experienced hours of bashing through Tasmanian scrub so the little required here was a doddle.

Struggled a bit for a way through the bush to this one but eventually found the narrow opening. Thanks.

In the kids versus adults scheme of things.....the adults may as well have stayed home
Tftc

Found it with margaretforr1987

If I didn't turn around I wouldn't have spotted this one TFTC

Another well hidden spot. A little trick to get to but find and logged tftc

Found with gf 24/9

Found it on the 24-9-20 loves a good bush walk with the boyfriend

Out for some exercise today and thougt I'd grab a couple of Cache's along the way. TFTC
Cache is nice and dry

Tftc. Found with tb142, kezza1211 and naturegirl.

Found with geowife kezza1211 naturegirl and rogerz1956 tftc

Found with GeoHubby TB142 and GeoFriend RogerZ1956 and Nature Girl. TFTC

Bush bashin

Another find by my bushbashing mate. Left pathtag. TFTC

Great find

Easy find, kids enjoyed wondering through bush

After finishing our circuit on the other side of the park, we determined we had just enough time before the footy match to drive around here and find the last 2 caches.
We parked outside the entrance and walked in to the Traditional first, GMelb did the last part as my knee had had enough uneven walking for the day lol
GMelb found the cache easily and we headed to the challenge

Yea, after standing around for over 30 minutes hiding under the small shelter of an information stand, the rain finally stopped. Now to continue caching this area.

With 15 meters pushing thru the wet tee-tree, it didn't seem like much with how wet I already am.

Thanks for the cache Team Loesch
Hunter

Headed to Morwell today for an enjoyable walk around this reserve finding caches, I saw quiet a few birds in the area. I was a little puzzled as to what the photo location points were.

Thanks Team Loesch for the cache.

1st Morwell Geocaching night

TFTC. We had had lunch in Morwell as we explored some of the area. While having coffee we spied this series of caches in the park. We parked at the entrance and then walked around the park, collecting caches as we went. Some bush bashing but not no bad. Found them all without too much difficulty. Thanks for putting these out and maintaining them to enhance our experiences in the area.

Got to love a good bush bash through the t trees. Make like a wood duck....and smile tftc

Found amongst thick trees. Now this is the kind of Bush that scares me. There is no line of sight and I have no directional sense. My GPS locks then I'm lost. Just glad there are so many tracks. Cache found in good condition. Tftc

Today with nice spring weather is time to go out and about, geocaching is just the right incentive.
I was not in this park for a long time at least 10 years ago we planted trees with the Strzelecki dustrict Cubs and Scouts.

This Wood Duck was found in the woods. Good cache. Water was in the container but logbook was dry, The smal lid was open, I closed it hopefully this will keep the water out.
TFTC

I’m so blind I didn’t even see but I found it

Took a while, tftc

Tftc.

Third one at the start of a walk. We have previously collected all the ones in the reserve but now we are back to get the new ones.

Bit of ducking and weaving to find this one!

GPS was jumping all over the place but eventually spotted it. Tftc

Easy find.
TFTC

Found today 9:40

Found with crushie 74.and 570RMR

Tftc

Great find thank you

I saw these caches in town last night, knowing we'd be in town today, so not knowing the area at all well, we found a park at the hospital and off we went.

What a great series these turned out to be, as parking where we did, we had no hill to contend with and enjoyed our walk around the park.

Thanks Team Loesch for the placement.

Found today with Marshall’s Geelong

Marshall’s Geelong found this cache today with LCASS on our Gippsland adventure,
Loved this one! Very creative.
TFTC

2nd find for the day with my four year old.

I was reading through the logs to get a heads up on this one and my geodaughter spotted it. No more hanging around here. Only 2 more to go in this series.

after no success froghunting
we at least found the duck
small compensation

A bit more off the beaten track but a nice easy find once we were close. The sun lighting up the tree sap created a nice effect. TFTC.

Nice walk. Tftc

I gorgeous day for a bit of a bushwalk. Happy to have collected all of the caches in this bush setting TFTC

Fun!

We decided to cache the Crinigan Road Bushland Reserve today - we are so glad we did as during our 4.7 kilometre walk we found all the caches searched for and we also got to see 17 different species of birds and a possum, but sadly no Koala. We soon found this one once at Ground Zero, having taken our time to arrive as we had stopped off to photograph a Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoo. We signed the log book and then replaced as found. Thanks so much for the cache and for having bought us to this lovely Nature Reserve. Greetings from Zimbabwe

I’d searched for and found the 200 finds in Gippsland challenge cache nearby and this was virtually on the way back to the car, so of course I had to look for this one too. Following the finding device I was led from a wide track, or road, to a grassy track to a narrower track and so on into the bush, pushing shrubs aside until I got somewhere near GZ according to the device. Then I was on my own. I gave up on the device because it was leading me all over the place. Within two minutes I was eyeballing it. The cache had been found. It was in good condition and replaced as found. I’m looking forward to doing the rest of caches in this series here.

Found with gwd.aussie and d@geo. Nice walk in the reserve. Thanks Team Loesch

Out caching with gwd.aussie and Sharon14. After a short bush bash we can claim other find on our walk around this reserve.

Thanks Team Loesch

D@geo spotted it, I would of been searching for a while longer.

Caching with D@geo and Sharon14.
Thank you for the hide Team Loesch

TFTC
We didn't hang around that much!

Found by the GeoBro once again

You should add swaps to this

A nice quick find with the grandies on a lovely warm night. TFTC.

Recently we have been trying to fill the gaps in our calendar grid for finds, and what better way to do this than by looking for local caches. We live in Churchill, so unfounded caches in Morwell are always on the radar. Add into this the fact that since Feb 1991 (before it even opened!), Mrs SKI has worked on and off at Maryvale Private Hospital, the Crinigan Rd Reserve becomes even easier to drop by and grab a cache from.
As we have now cleaned up October (1 missing cache) and November (4 missing caches), we have our work cut out for us as December has heaps of days missing from the grid. Oh well, no point grumbling, we just have to get off our butts and get out caching!
TFTC and the rest of the caches you have put out in this pretty little reserve Team Loesch, a lovely series to wander around and grab
