Looked and looked with no luck. Guy one the property across the creek was curious after his dog barked at us constantly.
Looked around for quite a while, but only found a suspicious item that could well have been used to hold the cache in place. Obvious old flood debris in the trees above the height of this item. May have to come back and check again sometime.
Was driving around a bit in the very strong winds, and didn’t realize I was almost right on top of where I needed to start this adventure. I didn’t even know such a place existed. Walked a fair bit, and had a bit of an “up and downâ€. Just as well I brought my gumboots - could almost surf in those waves. Again, almost about to give up, when I spotted something very interesting. Very clever spot piglet* . Thanks for this interesting cache location. Left nothing, took nothing (except a few photos), signed logbook.

Found it nice and easily - thanks.
I couldn't help myself and let out a "Moooooo" and instantly had an audience.

Found this one - last for the day. The log is still damp but we were able to write on it carefully. It is getting close to needing another log.

Very inspired to visit this location again after reading the sign in front. Log note was a little wet, so please be careful.
Thank you

I like a brazen hide (if you can call it a hide as such)! My GPSr led me straight to it for an easy find. I enjoyed having to climb over the fence with that ladder to get to it.
I love caches hidden in plain view, and I'm normally accustomed to trying to spot the elaborate camo! This one though takes the cake! Talk about bold!
Thanks piglet for an interesting cache on this very hot day.

Upon seeing the trees I despaired at finding our 4th cache of the day, but careful approaching meant the GPS kept up with us and headed us the right direction right off the bat for an easy find.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks piglet* for this cache today. A number of younger kids were just down the creek sliding down the muddied embankment before sliding into the water. It looked like such a great idea on this hot day.

Enjoyed the short walk and pleased for another muggle free cache considering our experience at the Sale Clocktower. Easy find, despite being in plain sight, it's quite well hidden!

1305h. Not so creepy. Just as well the rain hasn't been as bad as the MET said. Don't know about stocking the place with fish.
Found @1420 Hrs after doing some work on a telco instalation nearby.
Log was still damp but was able to sign only just.

On a caching run with KI Bug, as they had already found it they left it to Marian and I. Followed the GPSr right to GZ when Marian said is that it and sure enough cache was in hand, thanks again Piglet*.
The dog over the creek kept barking at me while I signed the log. Then the dog's owner came out and asked if I was fishing. "No", I said. Then he wandered off.. TFTC.
Great hiding spot! My second cache for the day!
Lots of muggles swimming upstream! Be very careful!

Not too hard to find but I was wet and the inside damp! Really needs to be dried out but not while we were there! Interesting location but not creepy. Thanks piglet
Lovely little walk! Loved it. However the log sheet is very damp, and needs replacing...
Cool hide!!!!
Log book VERY wet and really no opportunity to dry it out.
Still trying to work out why there are bags of mandarins lying around near GZ!

Grabbed this today on return from a funeral in town. Then the long journey back to Canberra. Farewell Noel, Farewell Traralgon - will come back to see you both again one day. TNLN, TFTC
Found 200807160837 . Down in Traralgon for work I took the opportunity to climb a stile and have a walk by the not so creepy creek
The mild tree cover had me checking a few spots before the surprisingly obvious cache was spotted

Cheers piglet*

This is a creepy looking spot.
These micro ones are always hard to find, this time by sheer accident someone was looking up from the creek edge
Thanks Piggy

This one took me a while to find - but really it shouldn't have! I was a bit disappointed with myself for not spotting this one sooner. This cache has recently been underwater, as the nearby debris clearly indicates - but because today was so hot, I had no trouble at all drying out the cache and logsheet! SL at 2pm. TFTC and the hunt.
Found this one on our holiday trip on the way to Melbourne.
The weather was fine and caching down under was great fun for us.

Stopped by to find on the way down to Melbourne for Xmas. Easy to find, log book is very sodden especially after recent heavy rain.
a quick cache on the way home from a weekend in Sale. found this one while again utilising my unique Ninja Caching skills and nabbed the cache under the nose of a couple of young muggles fishing. Log was a tad soggy, but ok if handled with care. The next finder might be able to put in a silca pouch to help dry it out a bit better.
15th find with Geojess Sandar10 and Oenze rambling we will go.
thanks to piglet for a quick dash to ground zero

Found @13:55
Judging by the detritus in the tree, this cache has survived being underwater during the recent flooding. I can't believe it hasn't washed away. Log damp and needs some TLC.

Found at 14:00. An easy find following a well worn track. The cobwebs are more creepy then the creek. Thanks
Members of Morwell State emergency service found this cache while on a GPS training exercise. Thanks for your assistance in training the members of this vital service.
An easy find in a not so creepy place. Walking track was easily found due to trampled down grass. Got to GZ quickly.
Thanks for the cache piglet*

After a brief walk along creepy creek we soon found the secluded area and the cache spot.Thanks to piglet.
I liked this one...it could keep you guessing for a while but it gave up its secret without too much resistance
not so creepy, however the long grass on the walking track helped with locating this cache. Previous cachers had trampled the unmown grass, making tracking a breeze.
Nice spot.. Found today at 11am Got to GZ and had the cache withing a minute....
This was our fifth find for the day while on a caching extravaganza with the Coffees. As the Coffee Clan had previously found this one, Mr Coffee remained with the cars while we headed off with Mystery Inc and Mini Cacher 1. The GPSr gods were very kind to us today as we walked straight to it and the clever little cache was in our hands eventually once CrackerDad's nubile fingers rose to the task. The container was slightly damp so we dried it out as much as possible before replacing it.
Thanks for the cache piglet*.

Was on my way to Miner's View and noticed it as I passed. Stopped on way back for a nice little walk and a sneaky hide. GPS up the creek (and it was tempting to put it there). Thank you.
Quick find on a nice little stretch of creek. Co-ords are spot on as they had me straight onto GZ. Thanks PIGLET* for a good cache.
Short but plesant walk along creek. Grass starting to grow.A bit surprised at hide not quite where we expected it to be.
Found myself on the correct side of the creek, and then the good coordinates had me at the clever little hide, guarded by an ex-cicada. Thanks piglet* for another good one.
Enjoyed the walk along the creek. Good hide
An easy find at 7:45pm. On my way up to the Gold Coast, then over to Mt Isa. Signed log. Thanks for the hunt Piglet.

Was heading back for dinner and noticed this wasn't too far out of the way. Nice easy find. TFTC
Was down in Gippsland chasing fires this week but had a day off so what better way to spend a day than caching.
A quick easy find and of course no swaps in a little cache like this.
Many thanks.

I was expecting more of a battle here with gps readings but the coords were spot on and I had your unusual hide in hands straight aaway. thanks piglet.
Found at 12:00. This one was way too hard, we wee sear5ching for almost an hour before we found the Cache.
A nice access for walking path in the recreational creek. Thanks for the little gem in the area and the cache.
Bit tricky this one, but after a little lateral thinking it was soon in hand.
Many thanks.

Found by Joe Possum and visitors. The creek had crept up a bit after the rain. But still a pleasant spot. Should come back for a spot of trout fishing some day. Thanks Piglet.
Dear Piglet,
We found your cache today at 1:50pm as the tenth of fifteen on our Gippsland Power Play Day. We thought that this one might be a tough find, but luckily we located it in the third place checked. Thanks for the cache.
Kind Regards,
D,H & A B-A

Not sure why this is "unavailable". Visiting friends in Carrajong Sth, we couldn't miss the opportunity, and easily it found right on the GPS button. Seemed secure enough although as noted earlier the log is a bit damp (and getting full). A nice one Piglet, compared to another one of yours later in the day.
Nice quick find. Location spot on. Log OK now although it has obviously been wet in the past. Thanks Piglet
Found by edmil & maddie. After staying over in Yarragon after a wedding we decided to nip down to Taralgon before meeting the rest of the group for brunch & pick this one up (and anymore in the area). Find was quick & easy. Thanks for the micro.
I am temporarily disabling this cache as I can't get there to fix it in the near future. If there are any caches in the area in the mean time that could lend a had i would appreciate it. sorry for the inconvenience. Piglet
Found 16:40, a nice easy find as we returned home from a long weekend away.
TNLN, thanks piglet*.

The fixing device has deteriorated and the cache is no longer able to be securely attached to where it was originally placed.
Found at 1.50pm GAFF1. This area is not creepy at all! A pleasant walk and a quick find, however it was not where it was supposed to be. We looked around and then found where the cache should have been placed and noticed that the weather has deteriorated the fastening device. This cache needs some maintenance. Thanks piglet*
I have been driving this town for ages but have never been to this part before,so stopped on my way through to the Caravan and camping expo this afternoon. An easy find. You chose an interesting way to secure the cache. Thanks Piglet
