Sadly this cache is gone, it had a good run I guess. Whoever decided they needed the ammo can more than the players did I hope your chickens turn into emus and kick your dunny door down

Will be out on the 31st to check its status

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Around GZ had been very recently cleared and slashed by tractors leaving the posted coordinates completely exposed and after a lot of time searching the surrounding area we had to call it quits. We did throughly enjoy our hike and afternoon in this beautiful park and we will be back.

Found it with rex46

Sad that this lovely spot has been ignored by cachers since 2021. Upgraded swag supplies

24 December 2021

Out on this fine Sunday day to grab some caches out around the peninsula before heading to a Christmas Eve Dinner with my family. Crossing off some new ones that had popped up since I had moved away from Rosebud and collecting some old ones I could never make it out to in the past. All in all I had a great day out and only got a little bit sunburnt, thanks for the cache and the adventure.

First one we have found 2 very happy girls who put something in and took someting

Thank you for bringing us here. Nice to learn something new about our local area.

Great find! Unfortunately pen wasn’t working so we couldn’t sign the log!

Nice walk

Cool little hide and a nice walk through greens bush.
TFTC

Easy fun find

Nice easy find thanks!!

Cool

Found it , we were in the area and decided to grab this one. Another nice location and good sturdy cache. Thanks for bringing us here.

Great hiding spot!

Went and checked it this morning, cache is in great condition, dropped some paracord products in for you good folk to enjoy and also a nice big geocoin

Finally, our Greens Bush tale comes to a close (aside from the Double Calendar Challenge and Black Ops, but those are quests for another time - we're talking about traditionals here).
This was an area that we'd "do at some point" and, eventually, we did.
Day by day, trip by trip, journey by journey, we made it.
This beautiful area now smattered in smileys.
And this, one last cache to finish it all.
An interesting route took us from the last cache to the main track, but a simple walk from there past the millipedes and skinks that appeared from time to time was all that was necessary to make it to gz.
A quick find was made in the obvious spot with the coordinates bang on.
All in good condition (as the CO would know, having been here earlier today) and we took the geocoin to move along.
We trekked our way back to the car with a few kangaroos hopping past us on their own journeys in this wonderful bushland.
Thanks to making tracks for the cache and adventure.

*Found on the 22 Feb 2020 @ 2:45 pm.*
*Cache find # 10739.*

After a couple of events in Flinders, it was now time to make the most of my trip to the peninsula and find a few caches that I had not yet found.
There was a little pocket of caches in this area that needed to be found and this one was next on the list.
My main target for this area was now found so I then continued onto this one along the trails until I eventually made it to GZ.
Now the search began but I was looking for a cache that was more hidden than this one actually was so I was overlooking the obvious, eventually I found it after it almost jumped out in front of me and tried to trip me over.

**Thanks to making tracks for placing this cache.**

Lucky to get this one running out of battery. Thanks for the find

Sunday morning stroll found me in Greens Bush. Picked up this nice easy cache. TFTC

I have wanted to get to this cache for a long time. My fear has always stopped me though. Not a fear of caches ha, but agoraphobia and venturing into the bush alone. The worst thing about geocaching and agoraphobia is getting 3/4's of the way there and then opting to turn back due to rumination. That happened on the first go.

But I emphasize that often the cache doesn't even matter. What's important is to enjoy the experience, the surroundings, the natural environment and to learn something about yourself. And that I did.

Second go, I stopped at the exact same spot I did first time and mulled over whether to keep going. I did so. Although my muggle mate thought it was a good time to bring up the threat of snakes. Such a tranquil area of land. I could get used to this.

Found the cache very quickly. I thought I may have great difficulty in opening it, but that wasn't the case. You don't see this size very often! Signed log and returned. I think I enjoyed the walk on the way out more than the walk in.

Thanks for bringing me to such a beautiful part of the Peninsula.

Found exactly where it was supposed to be.
This is just a great place to visit.
Thanks making tracks for getting me here.
Chiefton!!!

I was wondering were to go this morning and I eventually decided to come down here to Cape Schanck and this lovely national park that I have been into once near the main road for one other cache once.
Last year the Double Calendar Challenge was published so I set about filling in about 80 or so days that I didn't have for the second round of my calendar and finished it a couple of months ago so I thought I should make this trip and finally gather the challenge and the other caches in this park so I finally made a decision and headed down here.
I had no problem finding every one of the 15 that I looked for which I was pretty happy about. On my route around a lot of the park I only spotted one jogger and 2 bush walkers.
Thanks making tracks for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

Fantastic walk today tftc

Out showing Mrs Womble the area after a night cache excursion a few weeks back. Now tidying up a couple of trads we ignored.
Great sunny Winter's arvo. Grabbed a TB (first we've found on ages).
Couldn't resist the hiking wristband as I'm currently setting up & training for an overnight trek across Wilson's Prom, so a special tanks to the CO's generosity.

A lovely walk to gz. Such a beautiful area. We saw a lovely big Kangaroo and heard lots of birds singing, a wonderful experience.
Thank you very much for placing a cache here.

Second find of my walk and very cool an ammo container, a proper cache, nice and big room for swaps and trackables. So I left big bird for the next cacher to help him on his way. Thanks for the cache

Nice walk!

Awesome!!! Love it!! Thanks for the amazing gift!!! Out in the wind having fun with nyochi sun peaking it's sunny head out!! Thanks for the find!!

Man i love a good bushwalk and the goodies in this geocache ill treasure mine forever THANKS!

Gorgeous walk, spotted heaps of Roos and just enjoyed the bush. Took the travel bugs to move them on! TFTC

This was the 3rd of 4 caches found today whilst on a 3 hour walk from Baldry's Road to Roger's Road Break and return. All caches were found in excellent condition. Many thanx to all CO's for bringing me back to this magnificent national park
In the early morning there were plenty of feeding wallabies and a variety of birds and frogs to be heard and seen
The wild flowers have generally gone for this season but there are great specimens of grass plants, ferns and gums. Main creek was in full flow. Picked up 2 TB's to help them on their way

Great walk! TFTC

I stopped at this cache while I was picking up a few in the national park, while Geoturtle37 was doing the Red Hill power trail with the "Sunday Group". This area is a really delightful piece of bush land and well worth a visit. This cache is well worth a visit too, it is well stocked with trackables (yes, the listed ones are really there for once) and swag. The cache is a quick and easy find, and I spotted several 'roos and a very fat and healthy looking blue tongue lizard lazing in the sun. (see photo). We will definitely be back for another look one day. Thanks for bringing me here Rick, and thanks for the cache.
Trackables:- Retrieved 3, dropped off 2, discovered 3. Left swag.

Cache is in great condition, I've dropped in some travelers and some Paracord products

Oh, forgot to mention..there is a Deutschland TB that I was given that hasn't been activated, I attempted to make contact with the cacher who I presume owns it and seems to have sent it on its way without activating it, but with no joy..so I guess there's a unactivated TB with someones name on it if they want it...

Found on a quiet walk through the park on an overcast day.

Found @13:48 #4334
On a run with Ahomburg this afternoon thru different areas of the peninsula. This one is in a great spot a quick find of my favourite container type too. Thanks for bringing me here today.

After we had finished at the WWFMXII event in Berwick, sedgwickDave and I decided since we were here and the weather was so nice, to head back to the peninsula to find some of the random caches around followed by some more of the Bay Trail Unleashed.

This cache was the next in our zig zag tour or the peninsula. A little bit of extra walking for this one, but it was not too long before we were at GZ and uncovering the cache. A great little spot and fantastic (My Favourite) container.

Thanks to making tracks for the cache. TNLN

Big things are happening! Are you joining the fun?

14th / 15th November 2015 - GC5HCJ8 - Casey Fields - Melbourne Victoria

Out walking today and dropped off a Geocoin in this beautiful place.

I decided to drive down the Peninsula to visit friends whose large property is literally surrounded by the National Park. They have rehabilitated it from grazing, de-weeded the Main Creek gully, and facilitate their property as a wildlife corridor between the creek (part of the NP) and Green's Bush proper. The property is listed in Trust for Nature. See http://boonoorong.blogspot.com.au/

Before arriving, I drove in to the top of Green's Bush. From here I did a walking circuit to find the rest that were relatively nearby. This cache was dead easy to find, in a pleasant spot to take a break. It was covered in ants though!

This park is under-appreciated by the Melbourne caching community. Because it is visited so rarely, I decided take ALL of the TBs that were in it, even though I only had a small trinket to leave in reply.

Thanks for this cache!

It's very rarely you find these type of REAL geocaches. By real I mean it's not there to be hidden, it's there to be found. Good large size filled with a variety of good quality goodies and trackables. Very happy to find this one on a spur of the moment decision on the way home from work. Thanks heaps

Maintenance check and dropped some travellers off

I never new that lightwood creek starts here but at GZ there was water everywhere and i can see how it does start here it is summer and there is puddles 50 mm deep and it had only been raining for 45 min thanks for this one love this park thanks for the cache

Did a nice little circuit to pickup the three new caches in the area. This is a very special place, that very few people living on the peninsula know about, and I don't mind that. This is my old stomping ground and I know it very well. Ttftc, bwbandit

Found it.
A nice spot close to a pond where we did some tadpole watching,
didn't see any frogs. The cache was easy to find and well guarded
by a large colony of black ants on the tree. SL TFTC.

Found a while ago while out placing the Forking Tree cache with Sikma but it's taken me a while to log this one. TFTC!

On my usual Thursday caching run with BorisB&Natasha. Love the scenery around here, absolutely magic. Found the cache in what would have to be my favourite type of container. Took TB to move along. Favourite awarded. Thanks making tracks for the cache and for bringing me here.

Had been saving a couple of local caches up for a rainy day and it certainly was a rainy day today. Nut bear and I headed to this one from Hyslops road end and thoroughly enjoyed the walk in the rain to this cache. I used to ride horses out here a long time ago and it is great to see it still as untouched as it was back then. Found the nice sized cache and loved it.
Thanks making tracks for the cache and bringing us out here.

2013-10-31 14:05 I love this part of Greensbush. Been out here plenty of times before and even put a cache out here but it was knocked back in the approval process so I removed it. Very happy to see someone else has put one out here. My thanks to making tracks.

[white]{*FTF*}......[/white] @6:31 am Cache # 1066

[green] It's raining caches [/green]

After a slight knee injury on the weekend this was just the thing I needed. An early Morning walk before work, to get the joints moving. Lots of roo about today and the bush smelt wonderful this early hour
The nice sized cache was found very quickly, signed log and it was time head back and get to work. Should get motivated and do this every morning. a most pleasant way to start the day.

Thx for the cache placement and the pleasant walk

[green]Merci beaucoup

Cheers
