The Car Park Cache Sebastopol, Victoria, Australia
By debbriamber on 02-Aug-12. Waypoint GC3RP1N

I have decided to archive this cashie due to not having the parts to construct a new container so someone else can use the spot in future if they liked

Tftf

The whole thing is gone camouflage and all hope to replace some time soon
If not we'll have to archive it

Not there been taken by someone so ok don't do this won

Done

Stanky

Found, easy

Done

This is the first cache we have ever looked for and found. I think my 11 year old son is hooked now!! Hopefully it will encourage him away from computer games for a bit. It’s like gaming treasure hunt but real life!!

Haven't been to Ballarat for quite a while and came in this side to take geowife to her favourite patchwork shop. Once finished we were looking for morning tea and some caches. An insignificant laneway and not many places to hide something, so the cache owner has excelled here. Hence a favourite point from us. Had to resort to the hint.

Took us a while but found it.... very very creative

Very clever forgot my pen

Tricky but great spot ! Kids find it!

Quick find after catching up with Lumpyjrb. Cool container. Catching as many caches as we can. Tftc

Quite creative

This is a well constructed cache and is in good condition for it's age. SL TFTC

Loved it

Tftc. Quick find on the way to work. Very innovative. A fav from me for being something different.

This 0ne drained our skills

Found it

catching up on some old TB logs!

I burnt myself so that left [@itsonlybarney](http://coord.info/PRJWE36) and I scouting for a Chemist at 16.30 on a Sunday. On the way back we quickly grabbed this cache.

**Total find count: 451**

@Crzymelly burnt herself, so a quick trip to find a chemist led us out and about late on a Sunday afternoon.

After the chemist, we wanted a few more while @HubbyandMrs were child minding for us. Pulled in to the carpark, and a quick scout around spotted something that didn't make any sense. Located the cache, and signed the log before returning as found.

On a cold wet and windy day in Melbourne, I headed to Ballarat for even more of the same. I came for the CITO, but met up early with Alansee to tackle a few caches beforehand. After the recent event, Micaparamedic, Earthbound Chief, LeafOTWind and I headed here for a quick find. By the time LeafOTWind arrived, we'd already signed the log and replaced it, so we made him search for it as well.



Thanks for the cache, debbriamber. Nice done camouflage.

Quick find once on site. Second item I examined.

I headed to Ballarat for a couple of events today. After the Afternoon Tea event nearby, muzza, alansee, earthbound chief, leafotwind and I headed down here for the quick find. Nicely camo'd.

Thanks for the cache debbriamber.

Genius!

Today we found this cache after the event at the nearby Golden Arches. A quick find with a few friends. Thanks for the cache.

Nice hide, we appreciated the effort. TFTC

This was our first find, keen to find more! TFTC

Sneaky Charlie, sneeeeaky

Amazing camo

Found it, what a clever hide.

Impressive! TFTC

No luck today! Must be hidden well!!!! Dominos was packed causing car park to be busy!!

Woohoo very clever

Found it!

Found it

First one found!

On the way to the CITO in Wendouree from Geelong and we were a little early (highly unusual for us), so we decided to stop here for a quick find. Suited our needs perfectly as the youngest GeoKid was asleep in the back seat and being able to pull up right at GZ was handy. No-one around which made for a fairly quick find. Nice camo, solid effort for a first hide (albeit some time ago now!). Thanks for placing it for us.

Good fun, well cached

Another Sunday and more dead premiers to visit with Spiffy- for a challenge cache. This time Ballarat was our target town. We fuelled up nearby and I saw this was 90m away. Nice construction. Fav give. Thanks to debbriamber for placing this cache.

Found on 20 May 2018 at 10:18 am.
Today we needed a shorter road trip for a project we are slowly working on and Ballarat was the place. We had to back fairly early so we started off bright and early so when we arrived a the first cache it was just getting light. A fun few hours was had and we found everything we looked for except one that was a bit too scary and dangerous with flimsy looking tree branches. Drizzly rain was with us for the first few caches but after that it cleared up and no more umbrellas were needed. We stopped off for a few large caches along the way to build up our count of those for yet another challenge we are working on as well.

I stopped for fuel nearby and Fleabag- notices a cache only 90m away so headed over while I filled up. After the fill I drove across and he was just finishing signing duties so we headed on our way. Nice cache, been there a long time too. A favourite from me.
Thanks debbriamber for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

Ingenious hide!!! However, the owners came out and said 'You'll never find it', before showing us where is was. So we didn't actually get to find it ourselves. Thanks for the cleverly concealed cache.

Great hide

Walked around for a bit then got really looking and found it

Stinky

Fantastic camo!

So clever!! The owners came out #muggles

Somehow in the car park I drove right through a dog whoopsie and managed to have the stink come straight in the vents of the car, please be a cache I can retrieve quickly... GZ had a couple of people come and go, but between visits, i managed a quick find, fantastic camo, nicely done. Yay... time to clean my wheels! TFTC

Out and about with the family MazzyMay and SciFiRulz TFTC

Found as Nicnax with PapaGrouch. Spotted this one fairly quickly once I stopped looking where the GPS wanted to send me. Nice hide. TFTC

Love this cache. Someone pulled up right at GZ and was there for a while loading up their car. Very clever hide. No log book but we had some spare notebook paper that we popped in there for you.

This has been the best find so far!! So well done

I won

There is no paper inside this very clever hide on which to sign my name so I took a photo instead. Unfortunately I had nothing with me to replace it. Thanks for this very clever cache!

First find found it !

Found it, needs new log

Good hide!

Looked around for a little while until we found something that led to nowhere. Awesome hide.

Made the trek up North with sims family and Neville Devil to grab some caches we were keen to find.
We searched high and low here under the watchful eye of the cameras. Touching and feeling around until a keen eye spotted something out a of place.
log signed and replaced as found.

Thanks for the cache debbbriamber

When I got a message from Ausfox; today to see if I wanted an evening caching I couldn't refuse. Where was the only question. We had a few solved mysteries in the Ballarat Area and one of them was one I needed for my next D/T loop so that is where we headed. Neville_devil who is always keen also joined us for the trip.
Time was getting on now so we started heading in the homeward direction. Neville_devil spotted something that did really fit which led to what we were after.
Thank you debbriamber for a really well done hide

Nice find

Taking my muggle uncle, auntie and uncle's brother in law on an "into to caching" muggle cache find trip. The hill closer to their house was a little to steep, so we decided that this one was more available.

We reached GZ and they started looking, but when I pulled the cache out from seemingly before their eyes, they were truly amazed.

Thanks for the fun debbriamber for this one - a favourite even since it was used to teach the muggles how it's done.

Clever hide. TFTC

Great hint

We found it!!

Found it

Thanks for the hide. Nice one.

Awesome hide!! Would never have found it without the hint. Had to dive in when the delivery driver went inside!

Oh my gosh this find was awesome! Excellent excellent hide! Took a little thinking but got there

Found it. TFTC

On a long weekend trip to Ballarat and Bendigo following hubby around for work. It is bitterly cold and damp so only doing limited caching. This was one of them. It is now back to the car to knit and wait for hubby.

Found it back of car park. Thanks for the effort that went into creating the cache. All in good order.

Didn't know this car park was there. We were careful not to be spotted by muggles. Very clever hide. Thank you debbriamber

Quick and easy. Park and grab always nice on a cold windy day
With Zedaycee and Angelique Anja.

A nice quick park and grab! A nice little hide! Now back to the car dir some heat!

In Ballarat for the Christmas in July event. Nice, quick park and grab. Beware of the decoy. TFTC.

Nice hide took us a while!

OH yeh We loved this cache it gets a FAV from us TFTC

Think this is my 3rd attempt lol ..... either people opening doors on me or cars pulling up. Anyway, with a little help from my caching partner in crime found. Very nice hide.

Wow, great construction. I was with a previous finder who was able to help me speed up the find. I am pretty sure there is no log at the moment so I signed a bit of paper. If I'm wrong, please let me know so I can edit the log. Thanks.

A fave point for this ingeniously constructed cache. Luckily noone around when I was there making for a discrete find TFTC debbriamber

**Found whilst House Sitting in Clunes**...

Today was one of those lovely spring days where the sun was shining and there was little breeze, a perfect day to get outside. Dropped around and picked up wozzle68 as I wanted to clear up some caches where he had a few remaining Ballarat ones left...

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment debbriamber...

Took: Nothing
Left: Nothing
Stamped log...

At the Lal Lal duck event today, so doing all the nearby caches too. Then, went to visit family in Delacombe, so had to do just one more! Clever cache here. I liked it very much. Would have taken some effort to create and put in place. Thanks debbriamber.

Very clever! With a little help from some new geocaching friends who pointed it out when we couldn't see it. TFTC!

Found it a very sneaky hide great job we nearly give up on it to tftc

Great little hide for our souvenir needs. The 10yo claims a joint find with Dad!

Another find by the McPhail Family. ...TFTC

Thanks. Good find

Haha dodgy place at night

Very clever 5th find.

Find #1036 for me. After poking around unsuccessfully for a few minutes I read the hint and found it straight away. A favorite point from me for this very creative hide! Thanks for the cache debbriamber!
