Will get there and repair / replace as needed. Until then I will leave it for finds.
Second time looking for this one and, still no luck. Checked many nooks and crannies but no cigar as the saying goes. Rain ended play after all.
I will return

Thanks, we've found a great camp site for when we're passing thru again - and if anyone comes rooting around in the bush we'll know what they're after!!
#569! Great spot but the lid is broken and needs replacing ASAP! NicandPaul with Halloffame!
Cache found without any issues, the rain make things all nice and soggy but not too much of annissue. Thanks heaps for the hide, the lid is cracked but the camo should protrct it pretty well!
Quick find with Kellmik while in the area on an Easter caching trip. Discovered the TB while here.

Find No. 3203. Found at 4.48pm
A caching afternoon, in the van with Geodog Penny on board to find the two caches at Green Lake. We needed these two to complete a challenge back home.
Seeing how we were in the area we then found the caches along the way, back to Dadswells Bridge, turned off before Glenorchy and headed to Rupanyup to find three more before heading home.
Had to drive through some pretty long dry grass to get to this one. Parked at a flattened area then Mr Tyred n Cranky walked across and through more long grass to find the cache. Geodog Penny and Mrs Tyred n Cranky stayed in the van. Thought it would be safer in case there were any wriggly sticks about. Mr Tyred n Cranky bought cache back to van, we signed the log and then it was replaced.

A 5 day caching run, over the 2020/2021 New year period saw me leave on the Thursday the 31st of December and travel to the Brisbane Ranges, down to Warrnambool, Port Fairy, Portland, the up to Heywood, Dunkfield and Horsham, camping along the way. On the Saturday I met up with my caching partner, ilukaperi at the home of choocknchunk, where we spread the coronavirus around as much as we could. Enjoyed some 4wding around the Mt Cole area before making our way back home on the Monday.
Today I started the morning at Annya Camp and headed towards Dunkfield, then up to Horsham and finally over to Raglan to visit my friends chhocknchunk, and to catch up with my caching partner, ilukaperi, as well as Micaparamedic, Geoturtle37 and Papi4506. Found some lovely spots and some great caches along the way and it was nice to finish the day with a beer and some good friends.
Enjoyed some caching in Horsham towards the afternoon, and this was the first of those for the day. Nice to get off the bitumen and make the short drive over to the cache. Buy, was the grass long. I was worried about the hot exhaust pipe on the dry grass (30 degree day), but luckily I found a spot with flattened grass to park and made my way, tip toeing through the long grass to the cache location. After a short hunt around, the cache was finally discovered. TFTC,

Nice easy find after dropping at the Big Koala. Beautiful walk out to the cache on the lovely fresh morning. The lid was off the cache when we arrived. Logbook signed and lid returned as it should be. TFTC
TFTC found a nice message in the log book. We are a little surprised that it was dry.
Found. Tftc. Have ben meaning to find this cache for about 2 years and today conditions were right. Greetings from Adelaide
Se No Find! Whoo another find, GOS is out a little, but fun looking! Thanks for being in our adventure!
Our 4th find for the day. Another nice sized cache container, found nice and quickly. SL and replaced. TFTC
After walking around the Grampians for the last few hours I made my way to Stawell, I have driven past this many times but never stopped, today I managed to drive almost to the cache, no water here unfortunately.

Found at 3:10pm, Saturday July 13th 2019, very easy but awesome spot as there is so many great spots around the area TFTC
A nice stroll over to the Prom, thanks for sharing this interesting spot, great to see a bit of water in the water course.

Coming home from the couple of days in the grampians. I was wondering why this was called "the prom" because nothing looks like the Prom out here! But on arriving at the cache it all made sense.
We decided to have a little walk on the way to find the cache nicely hidden. TFTC
Headed west for a short break and decided to take the country roads rather than the hwy.
Day two of my break had me leaving Lexton and heading south west today.
Back on the black top after the trails around Beaufort I was making my way west.
The thing about Geocaching it tends to make you break up the journey without having to be reminded to have a rest.
Checked out the weir first then made my way to GZ which was an easy drive in.
Plenty of old trees around here as well.
Thanks Alansee TFTC

TFTC. We had dropped the Motorhome off at Kaniva as we would be back in a week. We took the car back to Maryborough. It is much simpler to cache with the car and we can more easily detour to the back streets. As we drove back to Maryborough we stopped often to find a cache or 8. Thanks to the COs for breaking up our journey.
Drive within 40 meters and there is a nice turn around spot. Magnificent old gums.

A few days away with Freddo, e.gregory1 and The White Dog Gang.
Fun was had by all. Not too many dnfs
Most logs signed as FETT.
Thanks for all the caches.

Found with Freddo, Team Waldron and thewhitedoggang on a short, post-Christmas sojourn to Victoria that involved plenty of driving, cycling, walking and even some boating and wading.
The weather was on our side (albeit a little warm at times), which made for some great caching. There were plenty of varied finds, with some excellent and often tricky hides and and just a few DNFs. We signed most logbooks ‘F.E.T.T.’
Thanks Alansee for the cache.

Today I ventured further out into the country surrounding Horsham or at least the eastern to north eastern areas. This find was the first for that run. A quick find after finding my way into the GZ. TFTC.
Found with Becca85, Neisha07 & Chan02 (plus muggle Dad) on our way to Dimboola for the weekend. Sorry for the late logging! TFTC

Found with boo09, neisha07 & chan02 (as well as Muggle husband/Dad) on our way to Dimboola for the weekend. We had found the one across the road years ago (as my 100th cache actually) but with a very low lying XR6 and generally limited time when passing by which eliminated walking in, we had never detoured for this one.
Now the proud owners of a Prado, I made sure to target this one today.
A quick find once at GZ. TFTC

On our way home from Hindmarsh Island SA after a 7 Day Fishing trip with my brothers. Sl thanks for the cache.
My fifth find of a big day, travelling from Horsham to the coast. Great cache TFTC
10:45
Final leg of an amazing trip to S.A.'s iconic Yorke Peninsula. With the wind behind us, we used less fuel and had more time for caching stops such as this along the way.
WOW a Golden Oldie 12 years on the geo gameboard and still in tip top condition.
Thanks to 'Alansee' for the hunt and cache placement

Took a little bit extra to get to The Prom. Galahs coming home to roost. Lots of noise. CIGC TNLN TFTC
We've driven past this one quite a few times, as usually busy to get in to, but not today. A nice quick easy find here.
Thanks Alansee for this placement.

Found by The Empire with Snap Happy
After being in South Australia for a little caching run, we left Keith in the early morning after a lovely breakfast. We were ready for the long road ahead. Snap only had about 2 caches in-between Melbourne and Adelaide to find, I had plenty more! I took the opportunity to find some of them and utilised his failing memory to my advantage... sort of. A quick find today. Thanks for the cache Alansee.

A quick find this morning as I headed to Horsham for work. Generally we have a camper on the back when driving through here so it was nice to easily be able to pull off and grab some quick caches. Many thanks.
Wow a nice old cache here - alas no water about though just very long grass!

Making our annual Xmas trip between Adelaide and Melbourne is always improved by finding a few caches along the way. We parked at the recommended spot then made a bee-line for GZ through some very tall grass and lots of spider webs. When returning to the car an easier track was apparent - which often seems to be the case when out caching! TFTC
Out today with the family exploring the area. We did a Bungils cave, Stawell, big Koala, Roses Gap lap back to Halls. Spotted Roos, Echidna, Blue tongues, and a small snake. Picked up double figures of cache and had a great day out. Thanks to all the co’s for the fun. TFTC this is where the snake was!
Heading back home after an awesome holiday in SA picking up a few strays along the way.
Had fun taking the bumpy track in but of coarse the Cruiser cruised it. Stopped within 30 metres of the cache and made the find while enjoying the area. Picked up a TB to continue its journey.
Thanks Alansee for showing us this little gem.

Found as we explore this great area as we stay in Halls Gap and Dadswell Bridge for 10 days.. Think the legs will be sore at the end of all this walking.. TFTC TNLN
I was interested in looking at the weir here, so I stopped to see this one.
Nice scenic area, some of those river red gums do indeed look very large.
Then I had a look a the weir, some interesting history behind it, it seems...

This cache has popped up on my GPSr screen many times before given the frequency of my trips to Victoria, but I have not been able to easily stop before today.
I found this cache on my way home to Adelaide from Ballarat. It was an interesting stop to break up the journey.
Well what an unexpected wonderful adventure this week turned out to be! I was meant to be in Alice Springs, but plans needed to change, so a relaxing trip to Victoria was the go.
Wozzle68 and I buddied up, and we ended up being great travel companions [^]....OMG, so much laughter , loud music [^], off-key singing and fun was had [:o)] [^]. We also teamed up with ChooknChunk and travelled in convoy to attend Mildura for '3 States in a Day' caching and events. What a great 4-some we made [^]....certainly brilliant dynamics [^], fabulous conversations [^] and loads of giggles [^]. I then stayed in Ballarat for a few days which was great fun.
Thanks for the cache Alansee!

With my phone at almost 0% battery and the GPS taking me further from anywhere obvious, I pulled out the trusty Garmin. Straight to GZ, where I made a fool of myself and Midnight Pony went straight for the cache. TFTC Alan, great location. Track was dry and firm.
