As there has been no response by the cache owner to the previous note, I am forced to archive this listing.

Will need to recheck the coords on this one.

Pretty sure where I found where it should be, however that area is badly damaged

Some recent work on the poles, might have been disturbed

Unfortunately dnf thought we had got it but wasnt there i reckon muggles have got it.

Thought it was here could team coxy please inspect!

Needs checking good spot to hide thanks anyway will check back later

I suspect that I know where it was and if it is, there has been a car kissing it slightly which may have affected tge removal of said hidey place. Might have to see if others are successful

Not sure if we were looking in the right place, but we did see chevrons and poles within metres of the coordinates that have been badly damaged.

This one is a good reminder to go with your first instincts and trust the hint. After nearly walking away, had one last look at all the possible options and came away with the find after a bit of wriggling. TFTC, liking the Team Coxy theme. TNLNSL.

Found it after a bit of wriggling.

Standard, needs a new log sheet

Nice quick find. No niggles on a Sunday arvo.

Nice and quick. No muggles on a Sunday arvo

Hmm, what were we missing here? Searched all obvious spots (I think) and still came up short. Spent too long trying to figure out what "chevron" meant in the scheme of things, got too cold in the end and had to retreat. Any tips for this one, do message me! Would love to return & find.

Took me a while to work out what the hint was referring to. But once I deciphered the word, the rest was easy, since I could just wait next to it looking like I was waiting to be picked up until the muggles cleared. TFTC!

We spent the rest of the afternoon at a concert in Brighton and then adjourned to cafe in Bentleigh. As we parked the car we looked further along the strip and spotted a familiar dome where we had failed to find a cache several months earlier. Checking logs it looked as if the cache had been restored and a quick dash revealed the cache at 16:00. Returned to the cafe for a celebratory espresso. TFTC

We pulled up near gz and I went to see what I could find. I went around and around following the gps and the hint advice but finding nothing. What didn't help was the young lady perched on one of the rotunda column platforms, right where my gps was pointing. I headed back to the car prepared to surrender on this one, but just as we pulled out the girl moved away, so we decided to give it another shot. This time Geoturtle37 came too which was just as well, as she made the find. When I saw where it was I couldn't believe I had missed the obvious. Log signed and replaced, we moved on to our next target. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.

Nice cache tftc

Cool hide

Suscoe's 5th find of the day.
Cloudy and lots of cars but no folks about.
Had a look and thought twice.
Then resorted to one of the tools and found that with a bit of gentle persuasion the cache was found in place and in good condition.
A clever hide.
Thanks to team coxy for this placement, nice work.

Went back to check on the cache and it seems that the chevron pole has had work completed on it now making the cache not accessible. OP please rehide

We were able to get within 1 metre of GZ and the possible location seemed obvious. However the "chevron" appears damaged with some temporary repairs and we were unable to verify our suspicions. May need CO's inspection and maintenance.

Some maintenance works have been done to the GZ. It is now unaccessible. You may need to rehide.

??

My first find. Was midnight. I'm now hooked!

Haven't been back for a while as this eluded us last time. Reread the clue and put it all together for a quick find today. Although had to wait for muggle clearance to replace. Lots of ways to have to lookout. Great spot

It took a while, with a coffee break to read the logs for clues but we found it. Great spot. Great clue.

Ok I know where it is but the catbo is close by. What to do. Wait him out.. tftc

Awesome spot, thanks for the great hiding spot! Initially a little difficult to access but then tried pull instead of twist and all good

Nice local find. Great location. TFTC

Nice hiding spot. Spent some time looking in the wrong place to start with

Had a lucky break in muggles and managed a quick grab, sat slightly away to sign and a quick return.

Found with danr1289 sometime after midnight - so much easier without the muggle factor! Solid hide! Cache is in good condition - TFTC!

Found with Georocks101, TFTC!

Tftc

TFTC Team_Coxy! Brilliant hide, great clues, took a bit of thinking, worked it out eventually. This one is number 100 for us!!!

Out on a Sunday evening bike ride exploring and hitting a fresh area of caches. Perfect temp tonight. Tftc

This morning was out for a cache run after a early meeting and very unhealthy maccas breakfast. Needed to burn the calories and what better way to do this than by caching.

Came by and parked near Coles & target at 11.40am on a Saturday morning. The place was crawling with muggles and seriously wondered whether it was worth attempting this cache, especially since the cache description explicitly said it was in a busy shopping precinct.

Nevertheless, if caching as taught me anything, it is to be ninja! So I headed to GZ. Initially I assumed a hiding place and searched in the wrong area. After a fruitless search, sat down, read the hint, read some logs and allowed my GPS to settle. It all pointed to search elsewhere. So widened my search area and identified the hiding spot. The hint was very helpful but only because I played Logoquiz. Knew straight away what Chevron meant But that was just step one. The next was to wait for the right time to grab the cache as it was muggle central. Positioned my body to be a shield and retrieved the cache, moved away to sign and replaced. Done! Ninja

Enjoyed this cache. Very clever use of surroundings and logbook and container are all in good condition. SL & replaced. Thanks team_coxy!

Been here 3 times and just was able to find it by the help of my boyfriend CjHuddo x

Got it

Hard one but got there in the end! Awesome cache spot! Thanks

Wiked hiding spot! Best one so far

We pulled up and there was a muggle standing 1m from GZ waiting for her lift. So we sat and waited, when you're determined enough you can out-wait any muggle. Finally her ride came and we jumped out and straight to GZ. Thanks for the hide and showing us this area!

Took me a couple of go's but finally found it with fursst

GPS coordinates a bit off, but we still got it. Found with katels!

All confused with this one, search here with no luck. Looked for 20.

Very hard but we got there in the end

Cache has been repaired again. This time it should last. Please be careful when replacing the cover so as not to make it hard for the next finder. Removed TB to move on as this hide is not really big enough for trackbles.

Thanks team_coxy for replacing this as I had it on my wish list so TFTC, another creative, well thought out hide and it deserves a favourite point... This favourite point I am giving you is for all your caches combined, pubs made a lot of great caches that I would definitely recommend!! #98 for me

I didn't find this cache however after reading the logs and seeing others had had trouble removing the 'cover', I'm pretty sure that was what happened to me and I didn't persist due to persistent muggles. A nice place to be when not surrounded by people with their cancer sticks. Yukkkk!

Found the cache I think - it's visible in its hiding place, but not physically accessible, so we couldn't sign the log. Needs maintenance.

I think the cache has dropped down...

TIL what a chevron was. One of the best things I've ever stumbled across. McKinnon students <3

Lovely afternoon, but no one near GZ so it was a quick extraction, a retreat to sign the log, and then a fast replacement. TFTC

Found tonight while out caching with ladioactive. I have been here at least 3 times - the first time the cache was MIA, the second time I was unable to access where the cache was and tonight while I had major difficulty in accessing the cache and it required ladioactive's help and causing her to break a nail - the cache was found and the log signed. It is nice to have this one off my to do list finally.

Thanks for the cache team_coxy.

Hey TeamCoxy, just to let you know that I brought my fellow geocacher Lyonzy to this cache and we couldn't get it out of it's hiding place! I have found it before so I know where it is (no spoilers). Either I replaced it with super human strength or someone has done something.
Just thought I would let you know!

Was late at night and I was scared haha

Awesome hiding place! I felt like a secret agent finding it.

TFTC

Find #336

I certainly picked the right time to come and look for this one as there was nobody around on a weekday evening at 9pm at this location. Having checked on Google maps earlier in the day I started to search in the wrong area. I thought about it a little more and the spot became readily apparent. The TB is nicely wedged in there but I left him for another traveller to nab. TNLNSL and quickly back in the car on this chilly evening. Thanks for the cache team coxy.

This little bugger has had me stumped for 2 weeks as I work nearby. Muggle central during the day. After a recent find here I thought id pop up again for a look at dusk on a wintry evening. Wasnt where I thought and found it straight up! Left the trackable as not going anywhere soon! My favourite so far-pt awarded. Tftc coxy! Tftc

Great hide place

In the dark. Nice but a little difficult to remove the cover! Was wedged tight.

Couldn't find it looked for 10 or so minutes

Found it! The very first one for us! Plenty more to come! How much fun!

I love these spots! Such a clever use of this space. TFTC

Second time lucky, I had previously been here a year or two ago but found the hiding place damaged and cache missing. When it came back online I had kept it in reserve for a daily-find candidate for my P366 challenge, but in the end didn't use it. As G' of GJMMelb and I was on our way home with only a handful finds for several hours caching, I was keen to get a just one more for the day, thinking it would be an even ten (it turned out not to be the case... This was #9) The previous cache attempt had been muggled so spotting this one I headed here where we waiting for a long time for a muggle to get in their car, then turn their lights on, and eventually reverse and drive off (the longest I've ever seen someone faff about and get their act together - argh!...) With the coast finally clear we quickly headed over to GZ where despite the GPS insisting it was the one side, the hint was spot on and the cache was in hand in seconds for a quick log and replace. TFTC

Found with Quiet1_au at the end of day out caching. We both knew were this would be but we had to wait for a muggle to drive off. After that a quick find and then home. Thanks team coxy
GJMMelb

couldn't find it, it was a bit dark look at night. couldn't get the correct gz. I will be back during the day

On my way home from work I decided to stop by this cache after buying some noodles from the nearby deli. I've been meaning to get to this cache for a while now but never quite got here yet. The days now are too short for riding the bike before or after work.

After a 10 minute search with no luck I had to check the clue. That didn't help either as there were no oil companies near GZ. A quick Google of the word brought the true meaning to light. After that it was a quick find. It's great when you learn something new every day. Oh and what a surprise this is another team_coxy cache. That's 3/3 caches today. You guys must have caches all over Melbourne. Thanks for all the fun and caches today.

Another found with COG DAWG! Very well hidden

Yay

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Tricky- chevron?? Who knew.....

Ah nice. Hit this one at 5pm so plenty of muggle activity. Was quite a game playing sneak and find, but cach was soon discovered and in hand. Had to wait out some school kids to replace, eventually replaced while checking my bag for nothing in particular. Great little giddy hole

Bumped into Gerry83 whilst he was buying supplies for a quick little cache run. He'd just come from here and told me to check it out, time would have been around 6 or so, a couple of muggles walking around had to try and not look too suspicious. After a bit of a snoop around the hint finally clicked, I hadn't thought of these spots as caches, will definitely keep them in mind for future searches. Thanks team coxy!

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

This was a quickie "target of opportunity"when passing through this evening. Once at GZ homed straight in on the hide, and thanks to a lack of muggles quickly had the container in hand.

Moved off to a nearby bench to sign the log, but then had to wait about ten minutes before being able to return the cache to its hide unseen, as the passers-by population suddenly increased and for a while showed no signs of stopping.

Thanks for the nice little hide, team_coxy.

Find #530

Thanks for putting this one back into play TeamCoxy! One of my closest to home and glad to tick it off the list. I got here even earlier than I thought it was as daylight savings finished overnight. But that meant I could sign and return without drawing anyone's attention.

First to Find! ... Since it was reenabled.
I was in the city on Friday when I got an email about this cache being enabled. I was about to head home anyway and since I'm also on the frankston line I thought I would get this one on the way home. However a few stops after I got on the train I fell asleep, by the time I woke up it was already at moorabbin. I didn't really want to go through the trouble of going back to get the cache as the trains were coming twenty minutes apart so I decided to leave this one for another day.
Today was the day, once again I was on the train this time coming back from school when I remembered about the cache. I got off at bentleigh and went to GZ and found the cache quite easily. The last time I was here I spent almost half an hour trying to get the thing off the pole without any success. However this time it came off in a flash (how did you do that!). Nice brand new log and cache to sign, TFTC

All good to go

Cache hide has been repaired and cache replaced. Thanks for you patience. All good to go.

For some reason the cache holder is still there but the cache container has gone. Will replace asap and get back online

Found where the geo should be according to the clue, but looks like there has been some council works around the area? Owner maintenance needed!

Found it but no cache, needs to be fixed!

I finally had a chance to drop by here with a tool to help extract the cache. However it appears to be missing, only the cradle remains. Hopefully CO can check on this soon and replace.

Couldn't find - recent council work?

Attempted this one in early hours of the morning. I suspect this cache is either gone or weather affected so it can't be gotten to.

Attempted during the day and night, still no luck... Could you please provide a further clue. Ty

Looked and looked where it is hidden.? More clue please

Yeah

Very clever

Tricky spot!! Tftc!!!

Homeless guy pissing near cache - might try again some other time!

Very hard

40min find, trust the hint not the photos!

Happy 3rd Anniversary! Simple yet effective hide! TFTC
