Found by Mary and David at 16:45. Found after a short search. Loved the statues. Our thanks to ducky_legs.
Passing through Boolarra so don't have time to do the trail but this one was still a nice find ) Nice little park as well with a cool array of trees, my family enjoyed the Indian bean tree! My aunt really enjoyed the little duck, but we couldn't find anything to swap so TNLN TFTC!
Thanks! Have been on the rail trail a lot over the years, but haven't checked out the sale yards before.
Out for a day Rail Trail on bike riding with GWD.aussie and D@geo. Rode from Mirboo North to Boolarra collecting caches along the way. Thanks ducky_legs
Found with gwd.aussie and Sharon14. Having been on my radar to do the caches along the Grand Ridge Rail Trail it was time. Last of the series for the day enjoying a cool can of Pepsi Max as we made the find.Thanks ducky_legs
Nice and easy, another park and grab for us. Found some old soggy Shapes in the cache and got them out with brute force. Our second cache along the GRRT, the first one being at the other end of it, the first culvert one. TFTC Ducky_legs
This was my first find in a while, and the first one for Boolara (gonna have to take the rail trail sometime). I got a little confused about the right location, but it was an easy find in the end. TFTC
Having done some caching in Churchill came with Sussex Wanderer and TrudyJane to the local store for a coffee and a look at a different part of the area, and then found this cache.
TFTC quick find, camped at the Pub for a few days, thought we’d head off & grab some caches this morning.
I had organised for a weekend in Gippsland... with Sunday allocated to a run with the MX-5 Club from Drouin to Mirboo North for lunch... yeah, right into the middle of the *Italian Festa!* After lunch was "free time" to make your way home... so I went caching instead.
Following a nice and twisty drive to Boolarra, I pulled up for an ice cream... and this cache. An easy enough find using the Hint... as the coordinates seemed to be a bit out.
Thanks **ducky_legs & giraffe_legs** for this cache.

My 8 year old was so excited to find her first geocache.
We didn't have a pen to log though.

Out for a days Rail Trail eBike riding with gmj3191 and both our better halves, MuggleWifeDoes and PamJ. Rode from Mirboo North to Boolarra collecting caches along the way. We stopped at the Boolarra Store for lunch before returning uphill to our cars at Mirboo North.
'Twas a glorious day for a ride in the country and this location totally lived up to all our expectations.
After a nice bacon pie for lunch a short walk had this one quickly in hand.

**Find#7,571**
Doing the Grand Ridge Rail Trail today with PamJ, BernieH, and Mugglewife. This is one of the caches we did along the way.
Last one on the trail for us, but we stopped and had lunch first, then picked it up. Now for the ride back.
Oh and a fav point for the series, we've had a great morning.
**Thanks for the fun ducky_legs**

Checked this one today after a few concerning logs. All good and in position. Changed the ziploc ready for winter.
This find finished up my awesome day -- I have only the 3 hour walk back to the car to go..rested for a bit at the final cache admired the art work before heading back.
Found the log for this one out in the open, then we found the container with the money. Replaced it all where the container was hiding

Log book missing but signed the money.

YAY I discovered the old Boolarra Saleyards today. Thank you ducky_legs for setting up this cache, I've enjoyed my history lesson. The cache was easy to find, it was quickly signed and replaced. AND - the hint for Saleyards was also very helpful .
PS: The Troll Dolls [TN6TR0] were with me on my great caching adventure today.

Our first for the day. Always good to start with a quick find. Cache in good order.
Beautiful cool sunny day, out for a drive and a geo or 2. Beautiful quiet spot. Tftc
Out for a family walk and, it being mothers day, my choice for destination! Obviously a trail with caches. The dog was very concerned by the nearby pooch, then very confused. A nice quick find. Peaceful morning in Boolarra so far. TFTC
Found my first cache. Forgot pen, so took photo instead. TFTC. Had lunch nearby...
Oooh...we were wondering if we’d have to go away without the find, pretty excited when we did find it. Love this.
I got a Message from Skipair with a suggestion of heading to the Mirboo North and Boolarra area to tackle the GRT trail, I had been looking at those for some time but My driving is very limited at the moment so its great to have friends to drive you around and chat with. We also did several other caches in the area, most of the trail was walked as I am unable to ride a bike after being hit by a truck. This is a beautiful area to visit with several great view locations and we certainly took a few roads that are less traveled today.
This is one of the caches we found on our travels.

In Boolarra for a massage and I'm 30 minutes early....oh what to do? This beautiful park was occupied but the sale yards were not so I was able to make a quick find. Tftc!
After visiting family we had our picnic lunch then made a quick find here in this lovely park. Great location for a cache.
What a great little town. We’ve heard good about the pub, but didn’t know much else. Only time for a quick drive around today, but we’ll be back for sure. This was a nice little hide, thanks for bringing us here and TFTC
An easy find once I was alerted to the hint. GPS was putting me consistantly on the road area about 20 mtrs from the GZ. Cache OK
The second time I was here today, the first time the nighbour was mowing his lawns and watching. Today he was mowing again but after a short while he finished so I felt a bit more comfortable to look arround. GPS was a little off, pointed me last time to the same spot as today. Had to sit down and think a bit before I was able to sign the log.

First caching adventure since lockdown started. Thrilled to be out and about today with Nyochi, and about to tackle the boolara to mirboo north trail.
Out and about for a day of trekking with merkinofloki. Looking forward to a good old fashion hike along the rail trail with many finds to be had and a bloody glorious day to be doing so :3
Phone GPS put us totally in the wrong spot and we had to use the hint. Then cache easily found. TFTC.
Geez this thing can pass as real from the corner of your eye. Really cool. Took a minute to sit an look while I signed the log. Tftc
Looked for a little bit couldn't find it. Checked hint. Thank you for the easy hint.
Well what a cracker of a day! Travelled to Boolara for our exercise, after parking the car we rode to Mirboo North for lunch (picked up a couple of caches along the way). Then we stopped to find the rest of the caches along the way.
Saw that a fellow geocacher that I had met previous was signing some of the logs with today's date so when we spotted him looking for a cache we had a good catchup.
This cache was the last for the day and I was glad I had been given a tip as the Coords were out a bit

I have only just discovered geocache and am loving it even though I haven’t found anything yet. Went down and had a look this morning but couldn’t find it maybe next time.
First one of the day, found it straight away, very excited, such a beautiful beautiful morning thank you
A nice one to start off today’s geocaching adventures aiming to go to mirboo north and back on foot and find as many as we can.
Found this with my baby girl Mango Mermaid

Yes we felt like we were being watched we were the guy across the rd watched us the whole time
It's certainly nice and peaceful here but l still had that feeling of being watched as l was searching TFTC
Today is nice and sunny, so I decided to visit this great playground with Mr8 and Miss3. They always enjoy a play on the equipment, but I think they have much more fun climbing on the drover and his dog. There was a bit of a fuss though when they realised that someone had stood on the drovers hat wearing muddy shoes and it ended up all over their hands!
Just about to log this when the kids came over with a post box key they had found on one of the picnic tables. A quick dash across the road to drop it off at the post office, and then a detour to grab a coffee before heading back to the playground to watch the kids burn off a bit more of their energy.
I’m sure we had looked for a cache in this spot more than once with no luck. Nice to see this new one pop up. A straight forward find with the geo kids pleased to find a new treasure!

On our way to Sale to visit a dead Premier for a Wherigo cache this happened to be on route. Had I realised where the location I would have walked over from the toilets rather driven around the corner! I’m sure there used to be another cache near here once upon a time. Glad to see another has come to fill the gap. We did as advised and had a rest to sign the log.
