Found the small throw away. Definitely needs maintenance. Great spot though. TFTC
 
01-Jun-16
Another one that is often muggled, so it's time to archive and free up the location for others to hide a cache near here.
 
29-May-16
Found what looked to be a throw down replacement to be honest - but read back through logs and seems that everyone else has logged as a find so I will too I'm going to put a NM on this though
 
29-May-16
An old herb pot with a broken lid, and an old leaflet seems to be in place of a real cache, this need to be replaced with a proper container and log.
 
24-May-16
Found a small plastic container with log paper. Magnetic container gone. No tracker in sight. There were instructions but to faded to read.
 
10-May-16
Unfortunately the lid for this cache is cracked and the log is full and damp.
 
09-May-16
This is a great little area. There's still so much work being carried out. I can't wait until it's finished to see how it will all turn out. Thanks for bringing me here.
TFTC!!! Smile
 
24-Apr-16
TFTC. Not in container as discribed and just looks like a piece of rubbish. Cache needs fixing and new log.
 
10-Apr-16
Piece of kaka lol found by anon and geocatcherz
 
04-Apr-16
Yeah... Look I found the container that geocachers have been writing their names in but damn sure this isn't the cache, it's rubbish. It doesn't match the description or the log, and there's no official log, just a piece of paper that a few have written on...
 
30-Mar-16
Sort of looks like junk
 
26-Mar-16
Needs care! Or replacement
 
26-Mar-16
Needs fixing.
 
26-Mar-16
Don't think this was the original container
 
24-Mar-16
Found it as per previous log. Owner please check!
 
23-Mar-16
Found as per previous log.. Container did not match original description???
 
14-Mar-16
Suspected this cache has been mugged, found a small plastic container with notes in it neer cache location but the container did not match the cache description
 
13-Mar-16
Found it but needs updating small plastic container with notes only - no treasure
 
10-Mar-16
Searched high and low without success, suspect this one may have been muggled
 
25-Feb-16
Whoop
 
25-Feb-16
Nice walk though..
 
18-Feb-16
I think I saw it.. but couldnt reach it.. and too many tradies around..
 
13-Feb-16
Found what looks to be a replacement "throw down". Was broken, open and exposed. Originally ignored as thought it possibly couldn't be the cache. Would be worth a health check here.
Thanks for bringing me to this special location Smile
 
13-Feb-16
Suggest CO comes to check this out. Looks to be a "throw down" container that was in fact broken and log damaged. Pieces around. Definitely not in line with hint. Thanks

Looks like something might have happened to the original container. Worth the owner having a look.
 
16-Nov-15
Found with Genyo while doing the nearby earth cache. The cache we found wasn't what the hint suggested. It looks like the cache disappeared and someone has placed a new 'container'.
Tftc!
 
16-Nov-15
Cache looks like it has gone missing and someone has thrown another container around.

25-Jul-15
We are regretting looking at the hint, which was a bit of a giveaway! Great hide!! And great spot too. We took a penny, left a party animal. No sign of the trackable. We were visited by some friendly ducks hoping for a feed. Geo kids loved the echoes... And recreated the jeep commercial! I imagine lovely in summer, but grey with a cold wind today, so we'll quickly move on the next one.

Went for a walk for mothers day around this new estate and to take a look at the lake. After a little bit of searching cache was soon in hand. We too noticed the apparent artwork, adults had to sign this log .......... suggest the log be renewed.
 
28-Apr-15
Anna, Tania and baby Ava found it, thanks for the cache!
 
28-Apr-15
I think this has been found by some immature muggles that have decorated the log page with some decorative male appendage drawings!... still managed to find a spot to log it! It was sitting up quite high, so I've hidden it a little better! TFTC

I came here to avoid the heat. There seems to be a good amount of cloud cover here and a breeze that's not exactly cool but a damn sight cooler than in part of suburbia. A quick find in a deserted area. Tftc

Found this one today. Once I realised what level this one was and followed the "firetack boardwalk" - this one was an easy find. I approached this cache as it was really getting dark and found that there were solar fibre optic lights throughout the slade and/or basalt used to make the walls alongside the boardwalk hence I called this the "firetack boardwalk". It was an amazing place to be as it got dark. I walked along to a chorus of toads bonking away though the mossies did get me as well! Signed log and returned cache to its hide.

Thanks for the cache pwags.
 
22-Oct-14
Nice hide

Description updated to reflect new smaller container and hiding method.

Because it was earth caching day we decided to go the nearest earth cache. What an interesting area! Im not fan of new suburbs but i did like the creative site of it. They so should make a lil cafe of that building close to the water! Even if it was a pretty warm day...the wind was cold up there. Cache was an easy find..but like others have mentioned...not an 1.2 liter container. Took out ...leaves?....left a yoyo. Thanks for the cache!
 
Nicely hidden. Cheers for the cache catch.

Find 1275 at 19:29. I was out caching with Burge today and we were out to pick up some new caches all over Melbourne. All in all, I collected 17 on this run and this was find number 12.

The lake here is quite pleasant and it's good to see the old quarry put to good use. Thanks for the cache, pwags!
