While the cache may be missing, I cannot get there to check under current restrictions. If a previous finder could check that would be great.
In the meantime I am leaving it open.

Explorative Matty

A blast of a cache. Definitely my favourite for the day. Found fifty cents immediately upon entering. Score! A key too, but left that behind. We had a ball scoping out the old equipment. Cache was surprisingly difficult to find, even with photos. However, it seems I am not alone in admiring the retro container. Contents were fairly mediocre, but the container has much potential. This could do with an artistic revamp and some quality swag, but I am not up to that task. Thank you!

Tftc 80degrees. Bride is at the Austin for a brief checkup, I'm free to roam nearby.
History lives! A little bit of a hunt but once I read a few logs I knew I couldn't be too far from it. Arachnophobes beware!

The Famous Geo5

With all 5 of the family finally finished from Work and School we were up to stay in Melbourne with some family for the first time since March. We were keen on grabbing some caches and getting out for a bit of a walk, BINGO, this cheeky little place looked just the spot for both. This was the first cache for us to find on our loop around and it was a very interesting slice of history and a very unexpected spot for the find. We enjoyed the look around at the old machinery then signed the cache and began our venture to the next spot. Thanks for the hide Alansee

OHC, RH and ourselves set out for a day of caching. Celebrating OHC's birthday and also that we are allowed to go out as long as it is within 25km's of home.
This one had us looking for some time even with a previous finder amongst us.
Thanks for the cache.

Geoturtle37

Older caches are my favourite so happy to have found this one today. Even though it took some time to find with a previous finder amongst us. Thanks for placing this cache and maintaining it for so long.

RoamingHowie

Out for a birthday cache run to celebrate OHC’s birthday and within hopefully the last of our overlapping 25km zones (as there isn’t much left!). Great day for it!

Wasn’t sure if we do or don’t but in the end we did and had a find soon after. Some might not even know what this container once was.

Thanks Alansee for the cache.

With the relaxing of the 5 k to 24k let me again try to find this cache, I was able to ride down from Thomastown and bingo Thank you Alansee for your cache. Before handling the cache I gave it a squirt of white king and after handling, took nothing but left a couple of old coins.

This was the fourth cache of the afternoon out caching with the geokids. We enjoyed exploring this area and learning about its history. It was muggle central given it's the Queens Birthday holiday but we are getting much better with our stealth skills. TFTC Alansee.

08-Jun-20

SnowBeach93

Took me a solid 30 minutes to figure out where it could be and a further 15 for muggles to clear. Busy public holiday haha it was a good challange for my second find Smile

A couple of minutes to find, then a bunch more minutes waiting for muggles to clear. Interesting spot! TFTC Smile
