Skate Ramp Wantirna South, Victoria, Australia
By laurenda on 24-Feb-10. Waypoint GC246E3

Time for this one to go I'm afraid

Found in plain view.

Thanks to Jacimarble & Ali J for alerting me to something amiss at GZ. I've just checked it out and unfortunately the cache hiding spot has been removed. I'll disable the cache while I ponder it's future.

Bizarre! First words out of my mouth in finding this one was 'what the!?!'...seriously in plain view. Not sure if this is where it is meant to be or whether works have occurred in the area that have changed its 'hiding' spot. TFTC

Found at 1810 hrs, took a while, Mr Sunrise should have looked more carefully and it would have been a lot quicker. TFTC

Nice spot. I'm starting to understand how laurenda thinks.

TFTC

Adding favourite point for the experience this cache brought us. One of my friends has now made a geocaching account! Thanks, laurenda!

8 of 21 for the day, on a cycling run around Glen Waverly, Vermont South, Burwood East and Mt Waverly. I was searching around under cover in an ugly area full of rubbish, when i decided to step back and try again. Found quickly after a bit of a re-think. Dipped 6 TBs. TFTC.

After a quick find at "The New Tip" I hoped this one would prove similar. I also hoped GZ was skat8rmugg13 free as one had snaked down the road towards GZ when I was going after "Fore". Thankfully, both proved true and after spotting the obvious GZ and easy extraction, log and replace was made. TFTC

When you put your mind into geo caching mode you'll find it easily
We didn't bring a pen, so couldn't put us on the list.

Went on a bike ride with two friends and showed them a couple of caches along the way including The Old Tip, Wetlands and my own cache! They were so impressed that when I asked them if they wanted to look for one I hadn't found and they jumped on the chance!

This is the second one we found together. I had been here before by myself with no luck. Today, I thought we would have the same luck as we searched high and low (mostly low) for the cache. Reading some logs led us to search in the wrong location for most of the time.

Finally, I looked at a place which I've looked at before when I came here by myself! It gave us an "oh...my..god..no way!" moment! I must have tugged on the wrong thing last time!

Now time to bike to Bunnings to borrow a pen!

TFTC! An awesome hide as always, laurenda!

Reasonably easy find on the way home from work.
Obviously too hot for muggles on the skate ramp.
TFTC

Biologial Exuberence
As we approached the site a car with sun screens blocked the way. As we went round I realised there were people inside. Dont know what they where doing on a 35 day sitting in a car. We left them too it, and found the cache
Found at second attempt with Kamce who had found it on her own. Easy once I stopped crawling around like an ant. I was mocked by several birds as I found the cache.

Went straight to the spot but somehow missed cache, so searched around for 10 minutes before restarting with the more thorough search. Bit of a yuk spot for me but nice hide. TFTC

Mmmm second time to this cache, finally found it interesting hide

In the area and 2nd try at this one, found in 5mins. Great hide laurenda, TFTC

Found this sneaky cache today. I had been here previously with Irontoad and had not find it then. Today it was a relatively quick find. Took nothing and left nothing but signed log.

Thanks for the cache laurenda.

Waited for muggles to move on before I searched the area. Sneaky hide, loved it!

I have been eyeing off this series for quite a while now, but it was only a short time ago that I had the idea of doing all along the trail in one go, by bike. The weather looked good today, so we put the bikes on the car and started at #24 and collected 18 for the day, meaning we didn't end up making it to #1. I am sure we will pick up from where we left off eventually......... but I was quite pleased with the total. We ended up riding for 32.5km which was quite a lot considering the total. Oh well, it was very enjoyable

This one was a nice easy find as we waited for a ride back to home. Thanks Laurenda, I hoped that this wasn't going to be the last of the day but sadly, it was Nice hide BTW .

Went looking for this one after Bunnings cache for Sapphire. We hit ground GZ hunted around for a good 10mins but were unable to find this cache. Lots of rubbish area this area too.

With Cracka1. Had a good hunt around to no avail. Always a next time.

Neat little hide, love the natural camo.....does it justice. I reckon this is the only time the GPS didn't go hay wire
TFTC

Found at 3.30pm - out and about on our own today as we build numbers to reach our 1000. Pulled up here thinking this would be another not to attempt as the ramp was being used. Returned a phone call to a fellow cacher and as we finished the conversation the skater left leaving us free to wander across the road and due to accurate co-ords made a quick find TFTC

Muggles!!!

Great little hide. (Meet owner laurenda there , so a few helpful hints got us a find!)
TFTC

Found 17 September 2011 @ 11:01pm

Find #204 - Fourth find of ten for the night

Found on a quick caching dash and sign with PKK... and Physics after another poker night

As per with previous cachers, a fairly quick find but a pig to extract the log book, return and sign.

I like four wheel drives... allow you to drive almost the entire way to the cache!

Thanks for the cache laurenda

It was just hanging around.

Neat cache. Thought hunt might be dreadful but it wasn't.

A clever hide.

Liked the hide, took a while but got there in the end.

Thanks for the hide

OMG!

After finding the cache, we climbed up the stairs to the top.

Dad now has a lot more respect for those skaters now.

Thanks laurenda for the cache.

now i know how your mind works. i found this one very quickly. it actually took me longer to get the log out of the eclipse tin. signed it and place it back. thanks laurenda .[:x]

# 2264 @ 15:50 SL

Now where would I hide it? Seems we are on a similar wave length. Nice hide.

Thanks laurenda

A great day out. Found with GayleSueandLily. Great find Clare.

Found with LCJ on a lovely day of caching.
I thought this was a clever hide. Clare nabbed this one.
TFTC
SG&L:)

Quick find of the clever hide, no muggles at all about on a Saturday evening. Thanks to Laurenda for another cache

Found with smrff78 20/7/11 @ 16:05 found it nice and quick (5 seconds) tftc

Found with Tilla83, another quick & easy find. SL, TFTC.

A group of 12 of us were doing a walk from Jells Park to Kooma Park and return.
We picked this one up on the return journey just as the batteries died in the GPSr and I had to resort to the iPhone.
We managed to find the cache using our combined efforts and a bit of logic.
Nice hide.

Found this one at 15:40 after a short search. Thankfully no-one was on the skate ramp so I had the clever hide in hand reasonably quickly .

TNLNSL, although our BYO pen geocoin had a visit to mark the occasion. Thanks laurenda.

Geokids were now quite restless so I did not think I was going to find this one. Every find with such distraction is always the more rewarding!! Having met you one day in Box Hill it was great to find one of your Caches. Thanks for not burying it! True true to your word it was well hidden but not buried. Cheers and I will return for the others when the kids are refreshed. TFTC SL.

Got lucky at GZ and retrieved
the sneeky cache quite quickly.
Another good hide laurenda, TFTC,SL.

Found it just as the rain came pouring down!
This was our second try at this one - had to read the logs for some hints.
PKK + Geokids

Fun hide and pretty quick to find. Slight dampness to log. TFTC.

#5 of 6 found this afternoon with RollaB. TFTC.

Quick easy find. TFTC Found with jackam.

A beautiful day to geocache. TFTC

Found with Expom. TFTC.

Having had no luck at the nearby 'Bunnings' cache and two other laurenda caches, I was glad to be able to log this one. NIce hide. Thanks laurenda.

Found it on my second trip through here. A bit more cache finding experience certainly helps one find these tricky ones. Thanks, laurenda.

Revisited today and retrieved TB.

At last !!! Found one of Laurenda's without needing help. Must be improving. Great hide. SL. Travel bug RDVD2X left in situ. Thanks.

TB drop

First geocache find.
No pen couldn't sign log.

10:30am

Finally found it!! When I first started caching a little over a year ago I spent hours looking for this one to no avail and had pretty much written it off until this week when a whole new set of Laurenda caches went online and I was talking to Meerkat about this one. He gave me a hint and I returned today to include this in my 16 finds for the day. A great hide and thanks to Meerkat for the hint.

Found this on a little cachehunt with Thundering_Su in this area today.
That was a rather long search but finally we found it.

T4TC & Greetings from Switzerland

Smurfy_CH

No Trade

Felt around but didnt find it straight away

Thundering_Su

Found this within a minute of GZ. Could frustrate some. TFTC SL

Searched the area for a few minutes and was getting frustrated as the GPS said I was right on top of it. Then my wife yelled out "Found IT". Good hide. TFTC SL

Good coordinates so was able to find it quickly. TFTC.

Found at 1115. Such a clever hide - its not always obvious but you so need to think outside the box. SL. TFTC

Fiendishly clever hide. I couldn't get this one even with a clue from a previous cacher. Think outside the box, could be a square peg in a round hole......

Found by Mary & David at 1205, on the way to Rabbitto's 50th. Surprised to find the skate ramp deserted, but that made the task of finding the cache much easier. Checked both sides of the fence before spotting something unusual. Further investigation produced the nicely-concealed cache. Our thanks to laurenda.

Great hide! Took a little while to find but had lots of time as the skateboarding muggles weren't out today.

TNLN but forgot my pen so couldn't sign the log

TFTC

Found @ 1904. Clever hide. Enjoyed this one. SL TFTC

I had the cache in hand quite quickly. Clever hide. I love caches hidden in this style.
TFTC, The Lone Random

Found by The Empire @ 10:50am with The Lone Random
Find number 5 of 14 today! After finding my 1,400th cache we continued up the highway to make some more finds today. This was a quick find by The Lone Random, thanks laurenda.

Clever hide. Took a bit of hunting but found it in the end. TFTC )

IPhone just wouldn't sit still

Found this cache while on my way to work. I thought it would be good to do 2 caches on the 20 10 2010, almost as good at the date 10days ago.
Parked at the car park and went to have a look. There were no muggles at the skate park, but there was one in a truck waiting for the neighbouring shop to open to make his delivery. Thank goodness this cache is out of sight from both the skate ramp and the road sign. Finding the cache was easy when at GZ.
Nice hide
TFTC

Nice find by crank1.
I wouldnt go on the skate ramp....no way!
TFTC

No muggles there today.
Found it with Alchemy2
TFTC

A determined G found this very quickly after a disappointing >1/2hr search at a nearby cache! neat hiding place

TFTC! Great hiding spot!

Found, very nice hide I like It.

Located today, although not logged until 29/11/2011.
Many thanks for the cache.

21.20pm. i was on my hols caching around melbourne with lochb who navigated us to here where it was soft walking on the safety mat area,we soon had this found as it was easy being all alone here.thank you for this cache and greetings from a very very cold england.sltn.patandjeff=bones1.

Great hide - I was worried that the cache might be hidden beyond the fence but that was not the case. Quick find in the company of Bones1 tonight. TFTC

A cool hiding spot... very nice

Found with The Unfamiliars and DetectiveWadesInc

TNLN

Really enjoyed this clever hide. I'd found a few others that were similar so it didn't take too long. TFTC.

This is very well hidden... extremely clever hide. Well done!

A cold evening hunting together with Pathfinder24. Clever hide! Thanks.

Quick caching trip with Ostara74. Clever hide had us looking for a bit before I noticed the tell tail. Thanks.

Found after my experience with astronomy domine that things hide well if u use extra things lol tftc tnln sl bag is broken btw

Found at 12.10pm GAFF1. So glad that the cache wasn't hidden where we thought it may have been! Especially when suddenly 5 kids turned up to have some fun on the ramp.
Went over to GZ and found the cache straight away as we are onto these type of tricky hides.
Thanks laurenda.

Clever hide, but didn't fool us for too long! Cache in hand after a bit of a search. TFTC

No lunch time muggles today, so I could look for the cache. It was the kind of hide I had anticipated, very clever.
Thanks, p-boro
#1125

Found on Farther's Day with son, scotttiew

First cache I've had with the extra attachment. Found it, out with dad on Fathers Day.

Not really a DNF. Walked around a bit to see if the cache would jump at me, but couldn’t search as a muggle parked <5m from gz and spent his entire lunch break there. Grrrh.

Nice tricky one to finish our days caching adventures. Had 4 mini HillTribers' searching all over for 15 minutes until Geodad spotted the obvious and pointed them in the right direction, from the warm confines of the car no less, LOL. Thank Laurenda, very much enjoyed by all! TNLN.

Found in the early hours of the morning. After a bit of searching around the area with no luck I had nearly given up and stood back trying to think a bit laterally. Just then my geo-trained eye spotted something and sure enough there it was! A well hidden cache. Like the way you think Laurenda. TFTC

This one took a while to find with cathylmorgan, luckily no one uses the skate ramp at 1:30am! Great hiding place. I like the way you think Laurenda. Then went on to do another of yours. SL. TNLN. TFTC

Skate ramp was not in use which was very lucky! We poked around a bit here and there before Snake came up trumps - a most excellent hide - we really enjoyed this one - thanks for a great cache.

In Melbourne for 2 days from Auckland (NZ) and had to do some caching. Clever hiding spot. Was on to it quickly though. TFTC

Took my 5yo out caching this afternoon. #14 of 16 finds for the day. Clever hide. TFTC.

Yet another day caching in area with Hazey1 as co-pilot.
Nice easy find. TFTC

TFTC, Nice and easy; quick find. Joint with Saulman1010, on our caching blitz.

The skate ramp wasn't in use as there was just enough moisture around today to keep most people indoors.
Parked nearby and this was the first of a few caches done in this area.
Thanks Laurenda
