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.I put a little piece of paper as logbook inside of this cache. Tftc! Greetings from Finland!
I found this cache after trying to not be seen by some Muggle families. The cache is where it was stated to be, but there was no log in the container.Great hide!
We found it and fixed it seeming it was just a lid thank you, we don't have paper to replace it
I found what I believe to be the cache, but the log was missing.Thanks for the hide!
Loved it, very sneaky, I thought it was hardware at first, the navigation was spot on
There is a burn off in the area so have taken offline until can get in and inspect.CJJAHC
After breaking a months slump, we went on a caching rampage.This was one of the caches we came to find.Another cache in the Crinigan bush reserve, we were blind on how to retrieve it. NO TOTT REQUIRED! We are going insane! TFTC Team Loesch#147
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 parkA nice quick find near the dam.Thanks, Robmc.
10:57Based 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! A great little waterhole too.**FEEDBACK TO CO:** We took the liberty of adding the GC ID details to the log, as it was bare.Thanks to Team Loesch for creating this fabulous series. 35762
Always a good day when out caching and finding them. Log very wet.

Found this one. Just letting you know. The Logging page, was very, very wet.. second last one before we lose the light. Enjoying this walk so much.
Happy to turn this one into a yellow smiley as yellow is the colour for me this year. Set of smothered with mozzie repellent as last time they were some of the most blood thirsty I have encountered.
Cannot believe I found this so quickly today after awkwardness of last time. I do know I was looking in completely the wrong spot though. Had read previous logs so took various supplies and was able to replace log. It appeared that it wasn’t placed back as it should be so hopefully I replaced it correctly but you might want to check.

So I actually found without difficulty - a rarity with micros (and small, regular, even large). But the log sheet was very wet. Managed to just scrawl my name and dry out a little. Tftc
Easy find. Log is absolutely saturated and I couldn’t sign it. Will need replacement. Tftc
Yay to completing this little series - thanks to the CO for replacing this cache. GPS spot on and remarkably my Geo senses are switched on today. Come visit this nice reserve.
Out and about with Au.fait with the aim to collect the Crinigan reserve caches this one was second DNF the others we happily located.
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. Our second cache and our second DNF. Very disappointing Hop things improve TFTC Team Loesch
This was the only cache I didn't manage to find today. Not saying it wasn't there as the GPS was not giving me a steady reading.
Well that was awkward! There I am the bush hunting around when two lovers decided to start getting amorous not realising I was there. I was about to burst out from the bushes in case they continued but thankfully they left. Hightailed it out of there and will be back but covered with mozzie spray. They were relentless
Cache in place and wet log replaced
Nice sunny winters day for a stroll and some cache maintenance

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.

Found it @ 11:28 with Sadds.
Another good spot along the trail.
Log paper is a little damp and we found a frog living in the cache location!

With restrictions in the regional areas lifted a little we were able to get out enjoy the sunshine and perform some well needed maintenance on our caches. Wet log replaced.

The log is also wet. Fall apart in my hands

We came up to Morwell for the Hawthorn/St Kilda match this afternoon and after eating our lunch at the picnic shelter, we headed off to find the caches in this park before the match.
GMelb went bush again for this one whilst JMelb had a look around, nice little dam. It took GMelb a little while to find this sneaky little one.
After this we headed back to the car, it was 3pm... do we have enough time to drive around to the other 2??

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.
It has stopped raining, but now the wind has picked up and the trees are now dripping on me. Nice quick find of this pointed geocache.
Thanks for the cache Team Loesch

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.

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.
Can't believe I walked straight to it. Quick find for a micro in the Bush. Cache was in good condition. Saw a kangaroo, fluffy and fat. Looks different from others I've seen. Has black and brown and is really dark. Very pretty. Moved too quickly to take a photo though. Tftc
Today we returned with better weather to finish of our bushland wander. Started with a picnic, which was interrupted by arrival of police who thought they smelt dope so came to investigate lol, no weed just a couple of chicken wraps and bottle of water. So after escaping the clutches of the men in blue, we made our way to the first of the caches today. No lion today but plenty of frogs. 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.
My first for the day, after walking past the one near the car park to many muggers there.
I looked around and found the spot where I would hide a cache, here it was.
Logbook was damp needed careful handling. Than off to the next one.

Second 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.
Sneaky little find out walking with my youngest! Will have to return to sign the log, though!
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.

Marshall’s Geelong found this cache today with LCASS on our Gippsland adventure!
Good cammo!

Well we sure looked around a lot before we found this one. Kids loved it even though there were no swaps. Only one more to go.
First for the day. A good little hide. GPS jumped around a lot but we found it after a bit of searching. TFTC.
