THE HUNGRY EARTH Box Hill North, Victoria, Australia

Yep,
This one is long gone,
Thanks for the memories,
Happy caching

The dog and I had a good look around but could find no evidence of this cache. 4 DNFs and no find in the last 7 months, so I suggest that a cache owner check might be worthwhile. Thanks.

We returned to have another go. No luck again. This one might break our spirits. This one hasn’t been found since November last year so would be great if the owner could do a check as we are keen to come back and have another go but I concerned we might be wasting our time.

After a long search and PAF we couldn’t find the cache.

Lots of Muggles even one who thought we were looking for magic mushrooms. We wondered if this friendly chap might of been the owner of the cache. couldn’t find it today but we will be back. GPS Was acting crazy

Found while getting dinner with 'muggle bro'.
I had 2% battery left and didn't have a pen on me so I used blood and a stick to write the initials HB.
Thats dedication right there hey?

Thanks for the hunt.

Thanks. Leaky plastc bag needs to be sealed better or get a new bag. Tin not waterproof.

As this cache hadn't been found in several months, I had my doubts as to whether I would find it. But I had half an hour before my appointment and a date that needed filling for my calendar, so I figurex it was better to be out in the fresh air than in a stuffy waiting room. The find was made in about two minutes. Plenty of muggles with thier dogs - even in the middle of a weekday. The log book is a little soggy, but otherwise in good condition. TFTC.

Nice pick up, only a matter of time before this gets eaten,
thanks i love dr who.
( log a bit damp with a bit of mould a round the edges, but nothing a sonic screw driver can't fix)

Had a walk past there today,
It's still there [:x]

More clues would be appreciated

Could not find

Had to play the 'I'm a bird watcher' ploy as the place was riddled with muggles
Handy to have a lookout whilst the other does the searching!
Cache was found in good condition. Signed the log and returned as found before another muggle passing
Many thanx to i love dr who

This was my second attempt and I found it right away, don't know how I missed it last time thanks

TFTC, mosquito area

I had started my little bout of exercise with an attempt at finding the horror of fang rock nearby with little success. The school ids zooming past on their bikes didn't help, nor did the doggles with their attendants. Byt the time I had walked pretty much the length of the bike path and back I was in the nonchalant zone in which elusive caches can be found because the cacher doesn't really care.
Consequently, after reading the description thoroughly and taking into account the container is described as a nano I searched an area a little ways away from what my 'droid said was GZ. That was a mistake.
I then returned to GZ and searched a couple of logical spots more thoroughly. Nope, nothing. I then thought what if?... and then made the find.
I think the container is more aptly described as a micro rather than a nano. That ought to cut help cut down the possibilities for future finders.

TFTC ilovedrwho. Nice placement. Log a bit damp. Jimmytherat with Noelle04

I'm so glad that I found it and I'm young!!! I put a sticker in their

Find #86
2nd attempt here.

This track is quite popular, so the mandatory bit of muggle-dodge was not so unexpected. At least muggle numbers were down due to it being school holidays.
This time I am pleased to say that I found the cache quite quickly.
I'm sure I checked that spot last time... Maybe the "Hungry Earth" had devoured it, lol. Or more likely, I just didn't look well enough.


Thank you, ilovedrwho, for a tricky cache that beat me the first time. Well played!

Eventually after reading some logs I got it

Quick find. SL and replaced. Not quite what we expected and we were a little unsure if we had found the right one. TFTC

Came here after work for my 'daily fix'.
Had a good look for 15min but couldn't come up with the goods.
Then school finished and the track was soon flooded with Muggles. So it was time for me to go.

I will return!

Tftc nice little park

Took a bit of looming as gps was jumping about

Found without too much difficulty. Tftc!

No problem finding this one

Looking at night and missed it for a while but not too difficult in the end. Found with Ashlea13. Thanks for the cache.

Just about to give up and bang - there it was! Not sure how we missed it. Found with benr33. Tftc!

Suscoe was up very early today to make the most of our final hours in Melbourne.
We had quite a few places to visit and so we were keen as mustard to get going.
Again this morning the drizzle had set in but it was short lived and soon the sun started to pop through some scattered clouds.
The roads were pretty quiet today which we were pleased with.

A quick find here which was appreciated considering the passing parade.
Thanks to i love dr who for placing this cache.

Endured a hot school holiday afternoon to discover this cache. Lovely meander along Bushy Creek greatly enjoyed. Thanks.

All good, I replaced a plastic cover over the log book [:x]

We decided to knock over a few caches in the area between appointments today. This one was far too easy as it was lust sitting on the ground. We signed the log and found a logical place to put the cache Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.

Sneaky

Easy to find

No luck but could not spend long time.

Lady second find.

Found on a quiet, warm Wednesday, with no pedestrian or cycling traffic. Tftc

Quiet park....Tftc

Found the cache out in the open, but didn't know where it was supposed to be hidden :\
Hid it somewhere logical nearby and messaged the cache owner.

On my way through the area and couldn't resist stopping for a look to see if I could keep my streak up (and set a new personal record!). Took a bit of searching as it wasn't quite where I thought it would be (was actually about to give up when I struck it lucky). I was surprised by the lack of foot traffic through here which helped. Container was a little muddy but the log is fine. TFTC!

TFTC found it in between rain showers

Found cache exposed. Earth must be full. Tftc.

Good find after work!

Another wintery afternoon when I was supposed to be watching my husband play hockey at a nearby park. I wandered off, along the path and came across this cache. The log was dry and the container in good condition. I was also rewarded by finding $10 nearby. Thanks for providing somewhere for me to walk.

Found this one on my way home from work. TFTC

Hungry earth indeed. So many awesome bugs nearby. Petted a mulligrub. Scil, deck, PrincessB and #hoho

Had to pick up a package to return to a friend in Sydney and while 'babysitting' grandson we did a few caches. I've left this one off the ground but the next searcher must be thorough in their search or they may miss it.

Thanks ilovedrwho another muddy cache but dry!! Made it a little leaf bed hopefully this will keep it cleaner. Nice little walk through park I had not been to before.

Was passing through the area after a work meeting nearby. Stopped to grab this cache. Parked in a nearby street and enjoyed a leisurely stroll to GZ. Upon arrival began my search whilst dodging the occasional muggle jogger or dog walker.

Searched for around 10min without success. Stepped back and rethought potential hiding places. Ended up rechecking some hiding places and uncovered the container. I had assumed a different type of container based on the description page saying nano. Made it much harder than it should have been.

Whilst not a fan of Dr Who, having read the description of this cache has pricked my interest. Given the fact that I subscribed to Netflix, might sit down and watch a few episodes )

TFTC!

Not exactly where we would have thought to look according to the name. Lucky one of us was a bit more open minded than the other ☺

Good one.

note to cacher - please remove slugs prior to placing cache #notimpressed

easy find

Had to wait for some muggles to go past before grabbing this one. The container had water in it, but log was dry as it was in a ziplock bag. TFTC I love dr who.

Found it!! Tftc

Found it!! Tftc

Found . Easy. Thanks

I found it. It was medium hard.

Extremely wet logs need replacing

All logs extremely wet.

Quick find thanks.

I walked down this afternoon and replaced the log book, I also placed it in a plastic bag [:x]

Cache is all good [:x]

Was in the area so thought I'd tick some off my list. I'm thinking I'll start watching dr who, you've piqued my interest. TFTC.

Found it! Another visit to the nearby hospital provided an opportunity to find a couple of caches at lunchtime. De ja vu! I don't think I found it last time a looked. Today I found it straight away! Cache was very wet inside. Logs scrolls could do with a bit of plastic protection! TFTC SL

Another nice easy find while spending some time in the area. TFTC!

Tftc.

I thought that I would have a walk through the area. This was my first stop. A quick find. The log was soaked but I managed to dry out a corner so that I could sign it. TFTC.

found with our group,
log needs maintenance

First of all it's not a nano it's an eclipse tin .
And also the log is saturated it needs to be covered in a snap lock bag. Found it
Impossible to log it still see some of my name on there but replace log and maintain this cache

Another quick cache for me after being in Box Hill for the day at athletics.... well so I thought. With a few muggles to contend with and a poor search by me I finally found it after several minutes. Thanks I love Dr Who for this cache.

On the way home from work, time for a quick cache, almost a quick find, if I wasn't looking at the wrong object. Eventually zeroed in on the correct location.
Thanks for placing this cache i love dr who

Found with MegWilson. Relatively simple - TFTC!

Found it with user mcw4815. Cool bro

I found it and made User tech mates touch it. Easy find! Also easy to find: worms.

Got sprung by the same muggle twice today... I really think she must have thought I was stalking her. Had to wait a while for people to pass, and I was thrown a little by where I thought the cache would be, only to find it was a bit of a distance from the place I first anticipated. Glad to find it, thankyou for the walk along here. It was a lovely spot.

Found with carkisser.
TFTC ......

Quick easy find in the dark with Sando23468. TFTC

Cache is full and well hidden in an open park. TFTC.

A quick find. Thank you

Found at night, so many bits of logs and papers in here, needs a tidy up, prob a good job during the day TFTC

One of the closest caches to home... and finally found the time to ride my bike here. Thanks for making me head out this afternoon, after way too much food earlier today (African Foodies Tour in Footscray). TFTC

FINALLY MADE IT BACK TO THIS ONE. CAME HERE SOMETIME AGO TO FIND IT OFF LINE SO BEEN ON MY TO DO LIST. TFTC I LOVE DR WHO

Managed a quick find today as the gz was nice and quiet. Found in the 3rd place I looked, thanks i love dr who for the cache.

A quick find despite a nearby muggle who was trying to get "Archie" to come back to her. Fortunately she was more interested in finding her dog (who had run off in the opposite direction) than in what I was doing!!

Nice and easy!!! TFTC

Found easily after avoid them pesky juggles! TFTC

Quick find. Many dogs in the park. One dog picked me to throw sticks for her and did not take much about her masters walking away. I hope she found them eventually... Thx.

Found with Myntelka

Quick find, thanks for the vache

A relatively quick find on a lovely morning.

TFTC

Date: 24 February 2014
Time: 11:01am
Find # 3611
Streak: 308 days

After a doctors appointment quite near by, I decided before heading back to work, to make some time to continue the streak. This was the most convenient, so after a short walk along the path and checking a couple of spots, the cache was soon spied from a distance.

Thanks to ilovedrwho for the cache. TNLN


2014 Oxfam Trailwalker Team Granny Pants - https://trailwalker.oxfam.org.au/team/home/15767
ahomburg, day1976, PeteTheClown and º committed to walk 100km

After collecting my newly restrung badminton racquet, I was passing near here on the way home, so stopped and walked along the track to GZ, passing a couple of dog walkers and joggers along the way. At GZ there was no one around so the cache was found after a couple of minutes searching at 4:40pm.
thanks i_love_dr_who

Australia Day

~21:00 King and King with interstate relo,

After a few stressful days and with the geoprinces in bed I gave King Sr a call and off we went together with an interstate relative that is with dad and mum for a few days. Our target some more local caches we need to revisit that need to be found.

This was 2/3 caches attempted. Arriving at GZ my phone was all over the place - we took a look at the clue which drew us to a wrong decision conclusion. I then switched to the real GPS in the pocket and walked around a few times - then out of the corner of my eye I spotted a traditional cache container sitting in the open - King Sr opened it up and sure enough a full log book - signed the log with our stamp (over the top of others 8-( ) and placed the cache back in a typical caching spot - I hope it was where you intended.

Our thanks again to i love dr who for the stress relief - finally closing this one out which we DNFed in 2012
