The Lone Pine of Grassmere Victoria, Australia

Ive finally made it back to search for this one after I dnfd it last time which turned out to be missing. After a short search I saw something a little off and referencing the hint I quickly had! Glad to turn this into a smiley!! TFTC!

Thanks for history of the war

Of course I completely misinterpreted the hint and after checking a couple of places turned around thinking "what?" only to spot the real hide. TFTC

FlyingPigSquadron has landed! Nice bit of history. TFTC

Travelling with richlink on our Annual Caravan Geocaching road trip, using geocaching as our guide. Thanks for placing this cache. LNCU.

Travelling with iluvtrekking from our home state of WA on a SA caching foray. Spending a few days in Warrnambool to grab some local finds. Thanks for the hideLNCU

Out for a day drive with hubby, passing through grassmere and thought we would grab this multi.Tftc

Thanks for the challenge and bringing me to this location. Lest we forget.

I had packed up A'Tuin the geomobile, the geodogs, Gypsy Girl, Teeny Treek, and Mini Michi on board, and we had set off for Warrnambool, where Mrs Dromaniax would meet us later in the day.We had a list of caches we wanted to find today, and having just completed a First to Find, we were back in Colac to find the Multicaches hidden around town. We had completed the data collection task on previous visits, and now was the day to find them all and see if we could finally have a day with six Multicache finds.After a couple of days in Warrnambool, we were on our way back home, but before we left Warrnambool, we wanted to see if we could find another six multicaches in a day.This was the fourth one for the day.What a fantastic history lesson. Mr Dromaniax had a great Uncle who lost his life in the Battle of Lone Pine, so this was quite a poignant cache. RIP, James Campbell Rule. Thank you, ozishbob, for this Multicache.

Feathertop and I made this find this morning. Good to see it replaced in time for our visit..

Outnabout for some solo caching while in town for a couple of days. Special thanks to the CO for a quick replacement. A favourite point for the CO efforts. Its always a great day for caching. TFTC ozishbob

These are always nice places to visit and see these pines becoming established to honour the memories. Found with Featherdown..Thanks for replacing so fast...

Cache has been replaced and is good to go.

No luck for me today. Searched for 10 minutes and then searched a little more. My GZ certainly matched the check sum, but as the previous log advised there has been some very recent landscaping completed. I think a check by the CO is in order. Thanks for bringing me here regardless.

Will check and replace as necessary by the end of the week

Not for me today. I feel I got the coordinates correct however there was nothing at GZ that I could find. If I was in the correct spot, there seemed to be a lot of fairly fresh mulch which indicates work has been done in that area and it may have gone missing. Ill keep an eye on this to see if it was just me!!
