I was enjoying an afternoon drive along the River Track, looking for a campsite
This cache cropped up a short walk away from the main road.
A short stroll brought me to GZ and an area without a sign, and not many bushes to look at !! [:o]

I poked around for 15 minutes, but found not a trace of a cache

Maybe it has become buried, or maybe its remains were scooped up and put in a rubbish bag by someone ??

Nice place to visit though

Needs Maintenance

.

the cache is still in poor condition. there was no sign to be seen around gz and the container is open, leaving its contents unprotected. unfortunately i didn't have anything with me to fix it. TFTC!

Certainly a different swap inside this one. As it had no lid it was open for anything to make a home. Under the log book was a very unhappy wolf spider. After a bit of coaxing he was evicted. We put some plastic over the top of the cache which may hold for a while but certainly needs fixing.

On an expedition down thru the Hattah Kulkyne National Park for the day to tramp over our old stamping grounds. Its great to have some caches thru the National Park so others can see this magnificent National Park. Thanks for the cache McMillan Mob

Found with Malleegirl3585 while out exploring the Hattah area. Cache needs a lid and replacing properly, preferably before the next rain. Apologies that we didn't have anything on us to make a replacement cache. Great view of the river!

I found this cache out in the open and it seems to have gone under the slasher. The lid was broken and quite away from the cache which was out in the open among the grass on its own. I placed it near the sign but there was nothing to cover it with. Im sorry I had nothing on me to replace this cache or fix it up.

Found this while camping at Hattah. This cache needs attention as it looks like its been under a slasher. It has no lid which was lying in the grass but broken. I'm sorry I had nothing to make a replacement with.

found cache took rubber left torch nice spot

Good news the work down here is finished and the park is open again. We have been watching since May this year when we went there to find it closed off. We found the cache today and enjoyed the drive through the park, a lot of campers already settled in. The cache is still in place and all fine. We took 2 things and left 2 things. tftc

Went down again today to check this one out ,but the gate is still locked will keep my eye on it

went to find this one today parks fenced off due to works being done could be awhile

We had decided that this was a bit out of our way while in the Hattah-Kulkyne NP. But, after we checked out the two camping spots we decided to search out a better one on the banks of the Murray. We had a good lol when we actually came cross country down the off shoot road that this cache was on! Thanks McMillan Mob.

We were camped in the NP and I went for an morning drive with some muggle friends so this was an easy find for them.
Found and signed.

Great drive along the tracks. Good to see first hand how high the water has been.
Emus watching over this site. TNLN

found this one while camped near by. It is good to see the river so high.

Found after some fruitless digging
Easily found in the end.

Found @ 1200.

Found whilst camping at Lake Hattah for the Queen's Birthday weekend with my wife and a Canadian friend. Cache was easily found as it was exposed. TNLN.

Out caching with Zak Power Team.

Found in the company of Mooshell. TFTC.

Found on way home from Oz Mega Event With Zak Power Team. Could not believe how it was so exposed. TFTC. TNLN. SL.

Another country cache that was great to visit

TNLN SL TFTC

Came here to the park to check it out with water in the lakes - what a difference to our last visit five years ago! Found cache easily, baking in the sun. The bush from the description is no longer. We added a bit more camo to keep the content from reaching boiling point in the coming hot season.

Had camped at the National Park campground. Found this one quite easily.

Found whilst Raiding the Fruit Bowl, made Postie run a few times after closing the gates - sorry about the late log - TFTC

The hint got me confused, I must have been half asleep,
but we found it
Thanks McMillan Mob

Nice views

Cheers and thanks for the cache

PG was in charge of the gates ~ The others were in charge of logging the cache ~ Loved the drive through here especially spilling the red wine TNLNSL TFTC

Initially misled by the hint, but soon found the cache nearby.

Thanks McMillan Mob & Reverb!

Headed for this one and had lunch along the way.
Lots of birds came and joined us

Find #18 for the day in the Mildura cache Raid event [^]
TNLNSL, Cheers

Day 1 for GC1TJ3B - Let's Raid the Food Bowl with travels and caching through the Murray Sunset National Park, Hattah Kulkyne National Park and Mildura environs.

The weather was a little better today but there were still some very heavy rain showers at times.

There was some fun 4WDing to get into this one and the road out was interesting as well. TFTC.

Lost my mojo. I was looking for the cache over there when the container was found by another in our party. How many cachers does it take to find a cache. Nice views.

Found it good hide take me 15 mins looking everywhere harder find but got it as last.T.F.T.C

Well hidden

Good easy find. The small bush has dead and not much cover. I have wonted to do whis one for a while.

Love this conservation area. TFTC

In the current road condition I would dispute that the cache is 'easily' accessible by 2WD - we found it to be a somewhat tortuous drive in and back out again. Nevertheless we kept going and found the cache no problem in this interesting area.

Took: elephant, dog puppet
Left: lizard head, wombat

interestig area great roads nice to see water in the river not much though.

Found By Austin R. at 4.10pm 9th july.T; golfball. L; Elephant Thingy. Cache is a bit full.

Found 08.06.08 1135hrs. By turps2 on Bendigo 4x4 club trip.

took No Smoking badge.
left Robinhood.

waypoint spot on.

Found it without too much trouble. We took the 4x4 track which provided some challenges for the Aurion to say the least TNLN

Found @ 13:15 whilst travelling around in the company of CityWest4WD Club on our Easter trip.

The cache is now located in the middle of a very dead bush, the drought has had it's toll here too.

T: Coloured Pencils
L: Screwdriver, Party Hooter, Mondo & Soft Flower.

Removed Lollies

found 1400, 5th and last for day. Nice drive through the park, would have been easier and quicker to take the river track.

The road in from the north was mostly OK in my 2WD Magna, the road to the south needs a good grade. Its useable but rough. Cache was found easily right on GZ. TN L spoon. Thanks McMillans and Reverb.

0357 re-logging due to name change

You would shake a 2WD apart getting here on the main track due to the corrugations but the many camp sites along the river would be great to stop at. I continued along the track and enjoyed it immensely. TFTC

Found in the company of a muggle friend while on a bushwalking stay in the area. Camp was only about 2km from the cache! Didn't see the previous posters so no idea how close we were. Thaks McMillan's Mob and reverb for the cache.

Found at 1:20pm another good spot that i have never been to. TNLN

Found on anzac day late afternoon great spot on the river

I could not resist the urge to get the Scotland Geocoin & it was still there, now its time to move it north. Great spot pity about the condition of the road, a bit rough.

L Brown & White dog finger puppet

Ventured further into the park for this one. Road was ok...
TNLNSL
Thanks for the views and scenery!
(logging this late, as it was overlooked before)

Nice place, but very dry, wide open river. Left Sevabo Scotland Geocoin took Lock

Easy find after a pleasant drive along the river. We will come back here in the future.
Took the knife and left a golf ball. Sevabo Canada Geocoin visited.

Thanks for a pleasant day spent in the park.

Walked to the cache from our campsite at Retail Bend. If you love sand, water and the bush this is a great spot to get away to. Logged visit only. No swaps.

Nice easy cache.
Approaching the cache from the west via Cantala Track was a bit of 4WD fun.

Thanks.

Took: Pedometer
Left: LED flashlight.

Easy find at 10.30am with a party from Adelaide.

Driving through on a very warm morning after doing the fireworks last night for the Southern 80 ski race, we made a worthwhile detour on the way to Mildura. We really enjoyed the river views, the GPSr took us straight to the cache and was actually reading no metres at gz resulting in a very easy find at 11.30
Took Reflector
Left Conditioner
Thank's mcMillam mob for bringing us to this great park

Found by Bwpbwin on 19/2/2006. Great drive from Hattah view through the park, bit sandy in parts.
Took 2 headed dragon
Left Small reflected hand

first cache found virgins no more

12.00pm
Found by Roma and Max.
Today was beautiful summer weather to be enjoyed beside our mighty river, which is running at a good level presently.
We also took the opportunity to detox’, (an in joke that will only be understood by the owners and previous finders!).
We took a Manufacturing Hall of Fame Pin and left a Mondo Figurine.
Thanks McMillan Mob & reverb,
from Romax.

Found by Mary & David at 1855 - not much light left, but it was a great time of day to be here. The sky was streaked with pink, and highlighted the trees in the last light. Kangaroos, rabbits and birds everywhere. An amazing experience. Took can opener, left compass. Our thanks to McMillan Mob (and reverb).

Thought i'd check this one out while in the area for work. Located at 17:30 hrs nr a perfect bend in the river. Wonderful area - even saw a couple of roo's and emu on the way in. Co-ordinates spot on. Now i know where to go if/when it needs maintaining. Checked out my dominoes too!! Thanks for the Cache guys -
