Cache has been there for 12 years with nearly 800 logged finds.
I have moved from the area now and live overseas a lot of the year.
I checked the cache yesterday and found it muggled and container with contents gone.
I do not want the cache to be listed from this date as it is in a busy location and I cannot take care of it thank you.

Great hiding spot!

Love that hiding place
 
03-Jul-19
Wow what a lot of fun my GZ was out but looking around taking the hint into consideration found it pretty easy thank you very much
 
24-Jun-19
As we approached, we thought of several possibilities.
Using the hint, we got it on our first check.
Thanks sarian for this bold hide.
Chiefton!!!

This is brilliant. Simple but very effective.
 
24-Apr-19
Out with BoabTree, we stopped near GZ. A short search at the end of a long day, made us very happy when we discovered the ingenious hide. A favourite point, thanks sarian
 
21-Apr-19
Nice quick find, barely had to get out of the car.
Great camouflage.
TFTC
 
20-Apr-19
We come here again to Handyman Heaven after a DNF previously. This time we were determined not to go home empty-handed. The whole gang got out of the car this time to search. I ignored the co-ords and what the GPS is trying to tell me and used my gut instinct and soon-enough the cache was in our hands. Elder geokid wanted to take the TB and I signed the log.

14-Apr-19
As suggested I drove up to the GZ, but I had to wait for all the visitors to the hardware shop who had parked in the shade to disperse before I could grab and sign the cache.
TFTC
 
13-Apr-19
Nice to be able to drive right up to GZ and with very few muggles around this area, made the find of this very clever camouflaged cache.

TFTC sarian.
 
07-Apr-19
Dropped off a tb
 
06-Apr-19
Thanks. It was great.
 
05-Apr-19
Had me thrown for a few minutes, but soon had cache in hand. Clever hide! Favourite from me!
 
28-Mar-19
It was pretty quiet in this corner of the carpark this afternoon when we were here. Unfortunately, there was a dead Grey Butcherbird within 2 metres of cache but it wasn’t too smelly yet. The cache was easily found and I swapped two TBs to keep them circulating. It’s great having a cache where you can park so close it and all the caching business can be done in your car away from the scrutiny of Muggles.
 
24-Mar-19
Found it with non-caching nephew on a caching adventure.
My Oldest Geokid found this one and ‘pretended’ he hadn’t- dropping hints so his cousin could ‘find’ it.
Collected TB. Left a badge

24-Mar-19
Excellent hiding spot!!
 
17-Mar-19
Dropped off three Tb

What a great hiding spot. Don’t overthink it
 
15-Mar-19
The third of 6 caches on a night run driven by Miss Learner getting her hours up.

Hunted around and soon discovered the well-hidden treasure. Nice one! Took the 3 TBs.

Dropped 3 TBs to continue their journey.

Nice one!

Mmmm, out and about, shopping at the cache supply shop. What do we need today, some timber, some nails, maybe a screw or to, a latch and a bit of this and that. Don't give to much away. What next, time to go find at cache then head on home and build something to call a cache and find a place to hide it for someone to find.

What a cleaver little hide, had me going for a little bit, then I caught on. The cache was good condition, all is fine.. We have found it, we put in our stamp, we replaced it where it was , and now we have logged it. We did take the little cut Trackable that was in here, thanks guys.

Thanks for the cache sarian, Lil Donna & co

Dropped off a Tb
 
09-Mar-19
Well this one took way longer than it should have, we all looked at each other a bit sheepishly once the Find was made (thank goodness for LouJean70)
This is a very clever cache.

09-Mar-19
What a cheeky hide! After hunting for a while in all the wrong places we were starting to despair. I spotted something that looked a little odd and bingo! Definitely a fave from me. Took the TB. Thank you
 
04-Mar-19
Quick and easy
 
04-Mar-19
Dropped off one Tb
 
03-Mar-19

Find 1965
Out with geowife grabbing a few caches after dog agility class. Busy Sunday but not in this location. A quick scan and the cache was quickly discovered. The ants have made home here. Log signed and back safe again.
Thanks for putting this out there.
 
03-Feb-19
This was a bit concerning as the phone was directing me to the neighbouring yard. The garden was full of rubbish which looks like someone dumped their cabinets and my search was not looking good. As I was ready to give it up I had one of those “ I wonder if?” Moments. And there it was. Nice little hide

Thanks sarian for the cache.
Find # 1230
 
24-Jan-19
Tftc Fun spot
 
05-Jan-19
On the way to dinner with relatives so thought I drop in for a quick cache find. But unfortunately found what appears to be the remains of the cache. You can even see the blue Lego piece that was shown in a previous geocacher's post

Also unfortunate to see this place become a muggle's dumping ground. Correct me if I'm wrong but I highly doubt all this rubbish here is part of CO props to throw us off.
 
03-Jan-19
Had to find it with the help of the hint, great hide
 
02-Jan-19
Hard one but adventuly found it

Today was to be a day of caching around the Knox area. Why is that you ask, well I was to have lunch with my girlfriend, so what else is there for me to do other than to grab a couple of caches before and after lunch. Anyways thanks for the cache and the find.
 
27-Nov-18
This one was a nice surprise great hiding spot. We cleaned it up and fixed the lid and placed logbook in plastic bag.

An absolutely amazing hiding spot, I’d probably make it 2 difficulty but I was left amazed as this was my first geocache find. Thank you - Jack Lindberg

On the way home I had to stop off and find some caches before it got too dark to see. I've driven past this area many times and it's a great spot for a quick find TFTC

Thanks for a quick and easy cache after a bite to eat at Maccas across the road. Would never have expected to find the cache where it was hidden. Found it with prmarks1391.
 
14-Jul-18
Shaynemarks and I were sitting at McDonalds across the road and Isuddenly thought, “Let’s find a Geocache.” Well, we found it. Nice quick find after being at another Geolocation event.

21-Jun-18

Gotcha!
 
08-Apr-18
Headed out with nyochi for a bit of a scenic drive with a couple of caches thrown in for good measure! It was a beautiful sunny day and perfect caching weather. Very busy here today with all the DIY muggles stopping in but none of them seemed to care what we were doing so the find was made before we even got out of the car since we’ve seen enough hidden like this to know what to do. Took nothing but added a couple of trinkets. TFTC!
 
08-Apr-18
1st cache for a sunny day :3 lets go find some more

Little bit wet to geocache this wild weekend of summer in Melbourne. Family humoured me on a trip to the hardware shop and sat in the car while I fulfilled my caching need for the day. Lol. TFTC. It was a clever hide
