As there's been no cache to find or log to sign for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Given it's been two months in the disabled position, I suggest it needs to be archived.

Have been indisposed for a bit. Will check this and others ASAP. thanks s.g

I had a good look for this one. With a container of this size and a 2/2 rating and few spots to hide I'm of the opinion it's gone
pls check.

See log.

Found where I think this cache should have been, but it wasn't there. Perhaps with all the recent rain it has washed away?

Just wrote in logbook. Excellent hiding spot. Thanks.

Found at 1536. Had a great walk as the cool change came through. Great hide, lots of ants & thankfully NO spiders!! Left Land Shark TB took nothing. SL TFTC

Nice hide, got good excercise going for this one. The creek was running high too.

Be careful of dogwalkers and misery guts joggers. Sure are some down in the dumps joggers on this track. ((No smiles or hellos here, unlike 1000 stairs)) Must have been the muggy conditions. Or the Heathmont air ?

Cache good!! Full of good swaps and good dry logbook. Thanks Stuey Griffin !!!!

This would have to be one of my favourite spots so far - never knew this was here and what a great place for a jog !! Will wait till the weather gets better though.
Great cache - found with RB - TN LN !!

A very pleasant walk to this one. Took GC.

TFTC.

Noted drop off of d2au.com geocoin 2

TFTC, will add geocoin tomorrow

Nice secluded area for the scouting people

Out with my lovely assistant Anne again today we found this cache @ 14:42hrs.
Considering that it was supposed to be raining today it turned out to be quite a nice day for cache hunting. We enjoyed the walk to GZ and back even though I saw that I could have parked much closer and saved myself a bit of a walk.
TFTC TNLN SL

An easy find @ 17:20 in between muggles and their hounds - they certainly come at you from every direction here. A nice pleasant walk from my car parked at the nearby playground. I will have to return and take in this area properly.

Thanks to stuey.griffin for bringing me here and for the cache. TNLNSL

found it whilst a few muggles walking past. TFTC

Easy find down by the creek-side. Quite a few muggle hounds walking their owners so had to be careful. TFTC

Our first time Geocaching! A lot of fun! Took nothing, left football card. Good hide, thanks Stu.

TFTC. Took nothing, left teddy bear.
Cv.

@17.11 - After attempting this one in the dark I came back in daylight. A few muggles with dawgs but time enough inbetween to find and replace. SL TFTC

Lovely long walk to this one. Suprised there were not more on the way. I will have to do something about that! Its about time I left one. Left Koala, took bracelet. TFTC. Dogs now very wet and dirty but they always have fun here!

Our second for the day, out with caughtatwork. Nice easy find by Ms Mini on this very cold Melbourne day. So far it had only rained while we were in the car, so at least we were still dry! [^] Unlike the very full creek flowing by here. It's been a while since we've seen flows like this. The ducks must be loving it!
TNLN Thanks for the cache.

Found by caughtatwork at 11:24 on 26/06/2010
A nice easy find by The Mini Mob at this location today.
Very nice to see that the creek ins running almost full in the recent rains.
Took nothing, left nothing.

#366 Found at 11.00am. It had been raining most of the morning and the nearby drain was flowing with vigour - we looked on with interest as a couple of ducks were trying to paddle upstream through some rapids. After about 10 mins they thought enough was enough & flew over the obstacle but GeoPrincess had great fun encouraging them the whole way. Love discovering these locations we wouldn't have known otherwise.

Took: Earthbound Chiefs GC
Left: Thongs GC - perhaps it can make its way towards St Kilda beach or Geelong area

TFTC

Picked this one up whilst getting another in the area

TFTC

This is Earthbound Chief's 500th cache find!! YAY!! Left a Gem geocoin to start it's travels to celebrate his milestone!!

An easy find. Found @ 16:15, TNLN. A few muggle walkers, was glad I had a dog with me.

Our mission today...to get to our 100th cache. This was a nice quick start to the afternoon. An easy find. TNLN. TFTC. A few muggle walkers....but no issues.

Found while on a caching day out - tftc tnln

Nice little cache. Had to jump the creek to get to it, kids found that very exciting!

I was enjoying a nice long walk while my car was getting serviced. This is a good time to fit in a cache or two. Unfortunately, the rain clouds rolled in a down she came. I was soaked to the skin. All part of the adventure of geocaching.
TNLN, TFTC.
Cheers,
Ric

All quiet this evening while visiting! Everyone passing by was on the other side of the creek.
Grabbed the Racer TB, no other swaps. Thanks for the cache!
best wishes,
Wal

Found @ 5.10pm #103. After trying to work out the shortest way in, we went for a bit of a walk, after arriving at GZ soon had cache in hand.
Took : Aussie Traveller Geocoin.
Left : East Racer TB.
( Tried to log East racer TB but must have written down the wrong number so I can't log it yet. Will try to get back to get the correct number to log it if it is still there. )

Lots of ducks observing us. One of our groups first ever find, so took broach but left pixie bell. SL, TFTC.

Quick and easy find while waiting to pick up a desk near-by. Thanks

Find # 817 @ 13:47 & 12/26 finds for the day.
A nice and easy find.
TNLNSL Thanks for the cache stuey_griffin!

Good hide!

Found it with the boys, they loved the local critters! Tftc, took tb

#153 Very nice walk along the creek. I enjoy these ones with a nature bent. Took CITO coin, left Breast Cancer coin. Thanks a lot.

Found at 19:00.

After a bit of a bike ride along the wrong side of the river, I managed to find a bridge and get to the right spot.

I pretended to be fixing my bike a couple of times when muggles were walking past.

Thanks for the cache and thanks for showing me a new side of the river

TNLNSL

Found at 11.00 after a short walk down the hill. There were a few muggle dog walkers about, but not as many as I expected. I didn't even have to do the drunken bee dance for this one as my GPS took me right to the spot. After scribbling in the log book, swapping geocoins and re-hiding the cache, I headed off to another nearby cache.

Took coin left coin.

Beautiful spot that I didn't know was here, in spite of only living around the corner.

Thanks for the cache, and thanks for showing me this beautiful creek!

found it and replaced bear with coin. TFTC it was a good one ot find in the wee hours of the morning (torches becasue i twas soo dark out) enjoyed the duckies that we accidently woke up and realised we foudn this cache only a few hours after another crew ^^ made us feel awesome

Managed to find it ahead of The Unfamiliars... or should that be Prince Piney

TFTC

Out with Lockyer. Drove around for a while to get the right entry point for this one. Thought we might have to do some rock-hopping over the creek, but we were fine. The challenge was: the person who doesn't find it first stands on the large pile of pine trees and yells, "I am Prince Piney!" Lockyer had cache in hand and I awakened the neighbours with my royal bellowing! Took lion, left aeroplane and Best Friends #1 Track-a-bear

Found 13:15, a nice quick find in a piece of parkland I would not otherwise have visited.

TNLN, CSI=2, thanks stuey.griffin.

Ride along this track a couple of times a week.

I was one of many enjoying the lovely stretch of bushland here today. I saw quite a few dogs and a couple of bike riders while I was waiting and once the coast was clear I was able to sign and return the cache. I'm glad TomTom took me to the right side of the creek!

Cheers,

Out on this very miserable Sunday morning. Just had an unsuccessfull try at Future Champions due to muggles, thought I would try this one and then return. A nice little walk and easy find.
Thanks for bringing me here
TNLN

Our very first find - woohoo! The pencil was blunt so we sharpened it. We're nice like that.

7 of 9 for today. No the way to this cache M had a little spill from his bike. Only a few grazes and a bump on the ankle. The bike seat is a little distorted but can be repaired. After picking M up and dusting him off, I convinced him to push on to the cache. We rode on and stopped to check our position and guess what!, we had stopped right on top of the cache. Fetched, signed and returned, we then tried to fix the seat. No joy here so we pushed on to lunch. This was the bribe part to finish the cache. Found @ 12:30 am KeMs

A quick find on a Sunday morning with not a single muggle biker or walker in sight.
Thanks stuey.griffin for taking me to an area I have never been to before.
TNLN

Third of six cache finds for the day.
I had an enjoyable walk to GZ, I had just heard billy Joel's piano man on the radio, so I hummed it all the way to the cache. Thanks stuey.griffin for the cache

We'd been doing some cycling out this way this morning (all the way UP [xx(] the big bump to Sassafrass, on to Olinda, then all the way DOWN again). After a rejuvenating coffee, a couple of relaxing caches by bike were in order. My cycling partner (a caching newbie) was quite excited to take the GPSr and find this one!
TNLN

Thanks to stuey.griffin.

We enjoyed the pleasant walk in this lovely green, and very popular, area. I mentioned to the reluctant spouse that over there must surely be the spot, and as luck would have it, not only was I correct, but there was a break in the muggle traffic of cyclists on one side of the water and walkers on the other. Perfect.

Thanks for an enjoyable cache, stuey.griffin

found with Dolly2cv6, (10.25am) lovely day for a walk and luckily not too busy.
TFTC

A great Autumn day to be out caching. I walked this path a lot last year while geoTeen was netball training (see 'future champions' close by). TFTC.

I was following Tom Tom to this cache, but it seemed to want to take me to the wrong side of the creek. I ignored it, and eventually found the way in to the cache. Once at GZ, it was a fairly quick find. Thanks for the cache.

Found by Mary & David at 1205. You can see where the stormwater reached close to the top of the banks. Still a lot of water going down the creek today. Very large bullant guarding the cache. Our thanks once more to stuey.griffin.

I jumped over the creek to reach the cache. Just as well I wasn't here last Saturday when the creek would nearly have been up to the cache. I took a car and left a lion. Thanks stuey.griffin.

After a long walk, a quick drive and a few wrong turns we found this without too much trouble in a very neat and tidy little hide. A much happier Team Skeleton after this find. Thanks Stuey:)

A short stroll and this one was soon sorted out. As Robmc mentioned we rode the bike track a while back from Bayswater to Dandenong and back which was pretty tough as I remember. Today was a good deal easier.
Thanks stuey.griffin

We recognized the bike track on the otherside from a long ride we did for a couple of caches a little while ago. Nice to walk this side of the creek.
Thanks, Robmc.

Found with my 2-year old daughter Kira. I tried to encourage her to take the matchbox car but she wanted the mangy golf ball instead. Left 1950 Half-penny. Thanks for the cache.

The weather man said rain, but it was a beautiful day for cacheing. Get to the cache and find that someone else had already been there today.
TFTC

As happens every now and again, we take a strange route to the GZ following the GPS and wind up in a familiar spot. I used to cycle along here fairly regularly and it was fun to come upon familiar territory via an unknown route.

Thanks stuey.griffin - TNLN - Nice spot

Nice easy find. Plenty of muggle traffic along the other side of creek. Had to be quick with the pick up and replacement.
TFTC

Tom Tom wanted me to walk a fair distance but I managed to make it a shorter although quite enjoyable stroll. At gz the hide was found without any trouble betweeen walkers and cyclists. thanks stuey.griffin.

Enjoyed the walk to GZ. Past a dog walker on the way. We had met at a previous multi some km's down the track, and seeing as we departed in different directions, he was probably wondering at how we were at a this location before him. Easy find in an obvious place. Thanks for the cache stuey.griffen.

Found @ 4:00pm A nice easy find in area we had not seen before. NLN SL TFTC

Late log! Looking through some old paperwork we discovered we had neglected to log this one on part of our day out with the Coffee Clan. We stopped the car and were hoping the hand brake held as we headed off to GZ. Getting there was easy, even locating the cache was easy, but then we had the walk back to the car,
Thanks stuey.griffin for showing us an area we have not visited before.

Found @ 22:00 with davroy while out on an evening of caching. Quick find and last one for the night. TFTC TNLNSL
