The area had been modified and no longer suitable to hide the cache so it is time to put this one to bed.

No luck . Looks like the area has beeñ cleaned up
 
12-Aug-17
No luck on this one today. The area seems recently cleared and there are fresh cut branches in piles at the GZ. Perhaps a CO check might be required.

Admittedly, I had 4 children with me... but we struggled to find it even off the beaten path! Will definitely come back and try again.
 
02-Aug-17
Had 15min before an appointment around the corner. Hmm I started walking, hoping the path sent me roughly the right area and I could put a smiley on this one.
Never been to this reserve before.
Quick nice find. Will have to come back for the other here. TFTC TNLN

Our second day in the area. After our 14km walk yesterday, we were looking for something less energetic. A quick find once we braved Mother Nature. Removed some broken rubbish from cache and left a new log strip. Sorry, didn't have anything bigger. TFTC (We ended up walking quite a bit of the park as it was so beautiful...so much for a slower day lol)

What a great cache! I've lived in Morwell for most of my life and never knew this reserve was even here. It had just rained and I looked where the GPS was pointing me and was hoping it was wrong... but alas. A bit wet I signed the log and enjoyed the call of the birds. Thanks for bringing me here Smile

This morning I awoke after staying the night around the corner at a friends place and before driving home to Lara I though I would find our a cache for the day. Last night I had completed the cache that is also in the same woodlands park. It seemed like a great place to come for a walk while I was here last night even in the dark.
This morning I parked in the official car park and started up the track in the direction of the cache. The paths are very well done and it was a lovely walk on this very fresh morning. Once I arrived at the dam I was starting to play close attention to where the GPS was taking me. I got a spot where I left the track the GPS was doing a little bit of a dance but finally lock in a position and the prize was found almost immediately.
Thank you Crisp image for bringing me out to this beautiful spot and a lovely walk on this fresh morning. Thank you also for the cache placement and another smiley for our map

I know that we all 'play' this Geocaching 'game' differently, and I was having fun; with the GPSr routing me a different way to most people I would think. There is a large firebreak 'track' behind the Reserve, and BOY is it potholed! It looks like one car got stuck in a pothole full of water, and had an electrical fire - it is all burnt out! Then I came to a WALL of vegetation! Definitely Terrain 2½, if not T3 trying to get through THAT! And fell out the other side into a clearing, and another 'pothole' for catching and slowing down rainwater. More bush, another clearing, and when I looked UP I noticed something that could be the basis for a hide, and sure enough, when I navigated in that direction I found the cache.
As I see mentioned by others, needing a new log; but I was able to cram my name in there @ 2100, GAFF1
So I will add a bookmark for the Night Caching elective #6.

Sorry for the super late log. January is the month for catching up Smile

We found the pot holes and sadly a lot of rubbish. We did not follow instructions on the easiest way to get there as we didn't know where the golf course was.
Tftc

A nice walk.
Thanks for bringing us here.
Out caching with m&d? and gwd.aussie .

09-Apr-16
As we are not local, we didn't know where the golf course was.
So we found some pot holes and rubbish on the way to the cache.

Out caching with SQAU and M&D? (-D)

Super old cache, good for beginners. TFTC
 
11-Apr-15
Thought we were going to get bogged on this one going to the cache. Then we thought we were not going to get across the lake. The compass was pointing to a big tree. In the end after a few minutes searching we found it. Nice camo. Log was soggy. Just managed to write on it, TFTC
 
08-Apr-15
That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.
 
08-Apr-15
Found on WACKY WEDNESDAYS with Wittay13!
This one is awesome! A little walk off the beaten track, make sure you have your bug spray and hiking boots on. (Both of us had inappropriate footwear on.)
Great little hide. Keep looking, its in there.
Gotta cache 'em all!
 
19-Jan-15

26-Dec-14

24-Dec-14
Got chased off by mossies today. Will have to try again another day when we're armed with aeroguard.
 
03-Nov-14
I took the most obvious looking path in from the car park which turned out to be the one the description warns about - the garbage is a bit awful. So I managed to clamber my way down to a likely looking path, then found a dam in my way. Circumnavigation later, I successfully made a quick find and dropped off a geocoin heading to the ski fields from Melbourne. TFTC Crisp image! I really enjoyed exploring this park.
 
09-Oct-14
Ha ha, upstaging the kids

Was pretty muddy when we uncovered it. Loved walking around here. Had the place to ourselves(except for the birdlife) TFTC.
 
27-Sep-14
Once at the GZ the cache was quickly found all in good order.
 
05-Sep-14
Thanks for bringing me to this lovely park which I had no idea existed . Nearly ready to give up when I decided to do one more enlarged sweep of the area and there it was. GPS had me a good 15m away. Some weed eradication going on in the area - pity they didn't pull up the young weeds growing, but the they would be out of a job next year! TFTC
 
23-Aug-14
This poor cache is in need of some TLC, the log is saturated. Apologies for not having replacements available. At time of visit.
 
23-Aug-14
It was getting to the end of a beautiful sunshiny day and we took a much needed walk in the mini wilderness. After winding our way back from a nearby cache we picked a likely looking path and soon had the cache in hand. Tftc
 
06-Aug-14
Lovely stroll Smile log book is soaked but a fun find nonetheless
 
11-Jul-14
Who knew this place existed? Nearly drowned in a few puddles (or rather small lakes) as we drove in.
 
11-Jul-14
GREAT WALK! With Fellow cacher Dorts! Who knew this was here!
 
23-May-14
Easy find due to cache being tipped out of its place. Notebook is drenched wet. Did our best to dry the inside of cache and returned to its spot. It will need replacement for notebook. We signed in the driest spots left with alkita85. TFTC

19-Jan-14
Found it without too much trouble. Was a nice walk for the sidekick and me. Only wildlife we encountered was mosquitoes. Tnln. Thanks!
 
15-Oct-13
This is a lovely little reserve to walk through, beware of swooping birds this time of year though! Haha
 
16-Sep-13
First ever find so very exciting for us. Took strawberry eraser and put in dragonfly pendant.
We very regularly walk this bush as we live in this area.
Toilet has been burnt down and needs a new pen as there wasn't one.

A guy & a girl - 13 Towns - 500 kms - 60 caches

September Stroll was born earlier in the week with an idea hatched to head in a loop towards Sale starting from Moe. Heading north up to Heyfield, across to Stratford then down to Sale before arriving home late, it was a magnificent spring day to enjoy East Gippsland.

We drove along golf links trail, glad we had the GeoRanger, sad people would dump stuff out here!! Parking on the side of the trail we made our way to GZ with a short 60m walk where Katy made the find.

Thanks for the cache Crisp image!!!
 
01-Sep-13
Never knew this place existed. Def going to bring friends up here. Just missed the travel bug by a few hrs lol. TNLNSL
 
01-Sep-13
Lovely bushwalking area, want one at home, thanks for bringing us here. We were going round in circles but the geohund knew which way to go.
Teaser needed toilet but it must have been hidden behind the BIGGEST travel bug we have even seen.

Very camouflaged find! Nice area! Second attempt and found! First time was our first cache so came back with 50+ experience!
Pen doesn't work in cache Smile
 
29-Jul-12
So happy to find this one! Went for a lovely bush walk and decided we needed to have another crack at this one, was our first cache we went to ever but had no luck/ no experience. This time felt like pros when we found it. Great hide. TFTC!!
 
26-Feb-12
Found for a second time. This time found the car park and walked the tracks. Came here before with my geoson and we approached from a different direction and did a bit of bush bashing to find gz. So much extra growth since 2010. Enjoyed the walk much more this time. SL TFTC
