Bit windy to sit there for long. Love the repurposing of the old ski lift. Nice and easyTFTC
I was only on the Eagle Express this morning. Nice to read about the history of this chair lift
Beautiful morning in Mount Beauty for a walk! Couldn't help but stop to cache along the way. No pencil in the cache so couldn't sign. Found with a +1.TFTC! 
I reckon I rode on this very chair in 1979 ! But couldn't find my name carved on it (joke). Anyway brought back a memory or two when we stayed at Happy Valley Lodge. TFTC nordic ned.
At bright for family gatherings though we do a trip to mt beauty for the day amazing place beautiful day found this catche walking the track tftc
Three years after logging this cache I was getting a tour of the Mens Shed from Reg, when I asked him if he knew about the geocache here.He didnt, so I showed him and he was amazed!In the process I discovered an unlisted trackable that had disappeared a year ago overseas.I have grabbed it, and with this log am dropping it officially in this cache.
My partner found this.Im beginning to discover just how competitive she really is. Fun find in beautiful Mt Beauty.
After a wonderful weekend spent with family at Mt Beauty / Tawonga South we had the Tuesday to ourselves so it was time for a caching day, something we hadn't done for months. While working on The HUB multi we ran into the CO of this cache nordic ned who we had a great little chat with. He gave us the goss on a lot of the local caches. Great that they managed to snare a piece of history from up the mountain, a perfect place for a cache. Nice hide nordic ned TFTC
Nice to meet you Nordic Ned and thanks for telling us about the history of the chair. We took your advice and went for a stroll along the river. A favourite deserved hereTFTC

We were heading back to the car after walking around the lake grabbing the odd cache that was close by as was this one. It's been years since I've skied at Falls Creek with the last time being long before this chair lift was replaced by the quad that's in use now and I wonder how many others have been upgraded from poma's, t-bars, and doubles. Maybe one day I'll head back up there during snow season and find out.

Out exploring this area today. This was an easy find, as we found it on the ground. Replaced it in a more appropriate place.
Thanks for placing this cache and doing the maintenance, so we can enjoy finding it.

Visiting Mt Beauty for brunch whilst in the area, we took the opportunity to grab a cache along the way. Tftc
Found with LittleBoss2 on a day visit to my old stomping ground, Mt Beauty. Nice to see so many new caches here, this place deserves it. Thanks Nordic Ned
Away for the week exploring the Bright area with Bogonghazy. Thanks for bringing me here. Fabulous spot
In mount beauty for the day for some errands and had a break so went for a walk around the lake. Arrived at GZ and saw the geocache on the ground? Not sure why? Im not too sure where it’s meant to be so I placed it where it might be but this needs to be looked at, the geocache itself is looking okay but the logbook is full so didn’t have much to room to write. Beautiful spot TFTC
Nice easy find on our way to coMplete the clues for the multi nearby - appreciate the name of the cache too!

Quickly found with gwd.aussie after lunching nearby. We have set up camp at Omeo and have come over the mountain for the day to grab a few caches.
Thanks nordic ned
Thanks nordic ned
Very easy find today as sitting on the seat. Signed and put away in a better spot. Thanks Nordic Ned for a resting spot.
Found with PapaGrouch on a trip to Mt Beauty. We were collecting information for a multi and realised we were near this traditional so picked it up while we were here. TFTC
Wow Mt Beauty caters for every type of cyclist. From the really daring, extremely fit people who participate in the Peaks Challenge, the MTB daredevils, the BMX riders to the social casual older folk and the rip roaring youngsters who love tearing around the paths mostly on one wheel.
I guess with my nom de plume, you can guess which group I belong to, and today I targeted just one cache along a route to ensure that I completed my personal calendar challenge. As usual I couldn't go past one that was begging to be found on this beautiful sunny morning. So instead of one cache I managed to find and sign four logs which were all found to be in good condition. Thanks nordic ned for this cache that was an easy find.

Nice walk on the way for a drink. Found from hint not navigation. Good hide. Thanks for the cache
Quick grab walking past. But I really enjoyed my moment sitting here with the refreshing breeze, the rustle of leaves of the nearby poplars, and the view across the pondage and down the valley. It's the little things. TFTC.
TFTC Nordic Ned, I rode this chair in my 1st season skiing we found your cache sitting in the grass underneath- hope we have returned it to the correct spot. What a great place to take 5!!!

Have walked and rides along this path dozens of times over several years. Today decided to have a leisurely day tracking down some local caches. Enjoyed the sit on the seat while I contemplated. TFTC
Beautiful view, TFTC

Just completed a 52 km circuit on the bikes with 1033 m elevation gain up to Eskdale Gap cache what a great day out on the bike.
Finished of with with a couple of caches as a bonus during our roll back home.
After the long ride a seat to take in the views was appreciated. Lucky for me there were no muggles in attendance.

Make sure you smell the caching s, it is not just another number.
