Reservoir Reserve Kew, Victoria, Australia
By brewcat31 on 15-Mar-14. Waypoint GC509W3

I cannot see any information that suggests to me that steps have been taken to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement - one or more of the following applies:

- Cache Owner unable to maintain cache
- No response from the cache owner.
- No cache to find or log to sign.
- It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.
- Cache has been abandoned by cache owner/cache in disrepair

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to also prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the next 28 days, just contact a reviewer (by email and include GC number in cache name) and, assuming it still meets the current guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

If there are components or remnants of the cache and you haven't already done so, please return to the GZ and collect the cache (or remnants). We don't want to litter our environment with Geotrash.

Should you wish to replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

It seems the council has been very efficient at the urban tree removal program

Tree removalists have been here.

Easy

Nice, sneaky cache. Tftc

I know the traffic school well but not this little park. I was scooting passed this morn when the sun came out and I knew it had to be a sign! Discovering the short cut through to Burke rd was also a bonus! The cache was v clever. I certainly had to extend myself! It was a bit tricky- although it was my fault- being in heels and a skirt didn't help! Tftc!

Nice camp. A fav from me.

We found it! Our first!

Very clever tftc

Best camo we have EVER seen!!!!! I like the brown colour of cache, thanks

Really liked this one! Lucky I was in runners

great camo took a little but found it thnx brewcat31

It was supposed to be a quick find with Geoson 3 between visit to the scout hall and shopping, but it took a wee longer. We looked in all the obvious spots (at least w thought so) and the hint didn't make much sense either. I was looking at the wrong thing too. Then we checked the GZ again and made the find. What a hid that is . TFTC, we had fun

Oh there it is after walking around and around TFTC

Found it

I've driven past the reservoir many times, but never knew this little reserve was behind.

Great camo, thanks brewcat31!

Argh. Why did I wear the bright pink shirt to work today!! Nothing like making this find more than a tad conspicuous....

Thankfully the area was quiet when I popped by after a nearby meeting, and I just hoped that the residents nearby weren't peering out the windows

TFTC brewcat31. A clever hide that had me chuckling when I spotted it.

Found it with reneesmith96

it was fairly quiet on a Wednesday morning so I didn't stick out too0 much even in my bike gear. Very nice build and hide! TFTC

Found the cache without too much trouble, but had to hide in the bushes afterward to avoid startling two older muggles who, by the way, took about 10 full minutes to walk by. Oh well! Tftc

@16:38. I was out caching with Hawley3 today and we couldn't find this one. Although we knew where we needed to look there were so many muggle dog walkers out that it was impossible to search without drawing unwanted attention. We'll be back!

Never knew there was a reservoir here. One of the reasons I love caching finding new places & interesting info. Luckily Jimmytherat was with me for this one as he is much better @ scurrying. Nice hide. TFTC

A quick find. TFTC

I came here with McWillid a few months ago but it turned out that the cache had been muggled. We came back today and found it within a few seconds. TFTC!

Had me scratching my head for a while before I realised I should be scratching for bananas.
Fav from me for the build effort

TFTC brewcat31. An interesting camo for this cache. Clever hide. Thanks for the hint. It helped. Jimmytherat.

Find #1513 logged at GZ at 4:19pm. I was here last year but my GPSr placed me quite far away from GZ. No problem today. However I should mention that I could not replace it in a way that camos it well. T4TC brewcat31!

With Water Monster at another water event I had time to kill so a quick run in the Hawthorn-Kew area was rewarded with some nice finds. TFTC

Saw that this one was back up so decided to take a small detour on the way home to have a look. The rain meant that the coast was clear. I probably should have read the attributes more closely - wearing my cycling cleats was not a good idea! Managed to retrieve the cache and sign, though it took a lot longer than it probably should. TFTC!

Easy find just look up

Out on the hunt once again with the geobuddy and misses tftc.

Back on deck! New improved design. Thanks for your patience.

Apologies for the delay in getting this one up and running again. Will endeavour to reinstate in the next couple of weeks

Perhaps the CO has forgotten to do something about this cache so this acts as a reminder. Else this starts the Archive process.

It appears that this one has been well and truly been muggled. No sign of it any where. Will reinstate soon.

Both Hugh McW and I had no luck finding this one ? With what we thought was an obvious clue, we still left not having found the cache ? Is it still there, has it been muggled, or do Hughmcw and I need to lift our game ?

forgot to log a while ago, very cool cache!

Off the beaten track, allows you to stay hidden from the muggles.

Good spot, well hidden.

Very few muggles in the park this afternoon so after a quick search the log was in my hand. Appreciate the effort gone into making the cammo.

TFTC.

Visiting my personal TB

Great hide.. It's a smart idea this one

I have visited this park two or three times before, but today was the first that it was empty and allowed me to search. I looked and looked at several trees without luck. Wandered back to the seat and read some logs...and then noticed the terrain rating. I returned and looked with a different perspective and soon made this find of this cleverly hidden cache.

As a child, I used the nearby traffic school, so it was nostalgic to return. Thanks for the cache, brewcat31.

Great hide! TFTC

Found this a while ago but forgot to log it.

TFTC

Riding home around 2am this morning and i decided to head in here to find the cache. I have seen another like this so even under darkness i was able to find and sign the cache. Still took a min to spot it. Cheers

There were some basketball players at the other end of the reserve, but apart from that I had the place to myself. The coords were spot on and kept putting me at a certain spot. Looking a little more closely and this nicely crafted stood out quite nicely.
Thanks to brewcat31 for placing this cache.

A quick find today in a lovely little park. Thanks for bringing us here and for the cache.

The sunny day meant the locals were making use of this park, but we were still able to search safely. It took a bit longer than it should have to find this terrific cache - it's a great hide.
Thanks for the cache, brewcat31!

Apart from a couple of dog walkers all was quiet here today. I was lucky to quickly spot the cache but I like the concept and it gets a vote. TFTC.

Stumbling around a bit and then literally stumbled on the cache. Thanks for showing us this wee park!

A nice quiet morning with just a couple of dog walkers meandering around until the rain started. We spent a lot of time scouring the trees for a sign. Nothing. We were just about to give up when my young one literally tripped over it on the ground. I've signed the log and returned it to the tree it was under.
TFTC.

Just a small window this afternoon to grab one cache and this is it.
Nice short walk in the park to a nicely hidden cache, spotted rather quickly though after many many previous caches. Nice hide.
Thanks for placing this cache brewcat31

Found Fri, 11 July 2014 @ 1:15 AM
Find #797

Found this cache on the way home from a trip to Officeworks. I was surprised to find this cache so quickly and happily grabbed it and signed the log.

Returned it so that it would sit a little more naturally. I feel that the attachment mechanism needs little adjustment perhaps.

Thanks to brewcat31 for the cache and the fun

Very Quick Climb

I arrived here at around 10am. Two sets of dog walkers were doing laps. I waited until they were well away before tackling your cache. This is not the first and it won't be the last time I climb a tree in a skirt but luckily no one spotted this rare sight
Lovely construction here brewcat31

Final cache on a week night's caching trip during the school holidays. A fairly quick find as quiet1_au spotted the cache nearly straight-away. TFTC

One last cache for the evening, lochb and I took no time to spot this one, despite it being a night search by torchlight (the hint helped a lot, but walking to the right GZ location was a bit of good luck too), a quick climb and the cache was soon in hand. A good way to round off a successful little caching outing - TFTC

With MMelb working all day and the weather looking reasonable in the morning we set off on our "How to turn 10km into 100km" adventure. We are wanting to clear our 10km zone & as most of the caches left are in the extremes there is quite a distance to cover lol (or tricky puzzles yet to be solved)
We were on the home run now having found all the caches on our list in our 10km zone and whilst this one is just outside of the 10km zone we decided that it would be a great last cache to do as it had a few fave points in a short time. We drove down the dead end road to find an auction due to be held at the last house in the street in about 20 mins so there were cars everywhere but luckily everyone was inside the property so weren't taking any notice of us as we headed over to GZ. The GPS bounced around a bit but GMelb spotted something just a little different and we soon had the cache in hand. Took photos of the Flowering Gum on the way back to the car (which was no mean feat considering how windy it was lol)
TFTC brewcat31 Lovely park, nice hide, great cache to finish our day on and another Fave Point from us - GJMMelb

Forgot to note last Sunday the 1st. We had a bit of a look around but no such luck. Will return when the weather is less glorious

Wanting a cache for the first of the month but didn't have a chance to get out during the day as trixie&toby wasn't feeling the best after some teeth work so had to wait until after I dropped her back at her mum's. Which meant hunting a cache in the rain so headed for this close to home one. Parked not too far from GZ at the end of the dead end street and thankfully the rain had stopped for a while. Walked over to GZ and thought about what sort of hide it could be and soon saw something not quite right. A quick ascent and the cache was in hand. Thanks heaps to brewcat31 for this one, nice hide (and apologies for the late log)

Found this cache today. I am attempting to find a cache a day for 50 days and am trying caches that I have previously attempted or have recorded a DNF on. This one I attempted at night and couldn't make head nor tail of the hint so decided to attempt this one today in the daylight. I found the cache reasonably quickly but didn't really have the right clothes on to retrieve it and sign the log. I eventually managed to do that but realised that returning the cache after signing the log might be tricky. So after avoiding dog walking/talking muggles and dogs I attempted the return. First attempt fail but second attempt was successful.

Thanks for the challenging cache brewcat31.

Out with au.fait, we parked close by, and with a look had the very clever cache in hand. A favourite point, thanks brewcat31

Did not take long to discover this well crafted cache a fav point from me TFTF. brewcat31

Found at 13:32
A quick stop and a quick find of this well camo'd cache once I waited for a couple of muggles to pass by. This is my kind of tree climb.
Thanks brewcat31 for the cache.

#436 TFTC... had to look inconspicuous for a while till the muggles using the area decided to was getting too dark and cold to stay... Once they left turned on the torch for a reasonably quick find. Wouldn't want to have stayed any longer because the mozzies were coming out, nice camo

We came across this neat little reserve and also a fellow cacher while searching for the same cache. (nice to meet you doughy) The cache was soon in hand after reading the hint and we were back on our way. A little too damp today to stay around too long. tftc brewcat31

Very nice camo. First time bumping into some fellow catchers! TFTC!

I certainly agree with Alansee that this shows all the good things about geocaching - interesting location, good camouflage and private GZ. A nearby building site was a bit of a worry especially when one needs to "lurk" in the bushes. Thanks and cheers.

I actually think that this is a very good cache! It encapsulates so much of what I like in caching - a good location (never knew that this park existed), and a very good hide - but more than that - it was a very findable hide - just hard enough though to make you work and think, but eminently findable if you worked and thought about it. And a very good hint too, one that helped you avoid many of the irrelevant possibilities, but didn't give too much away. And in the end an enjoyable find because of all those factors.

Well done brewcat31. And your first hide too!

Clever hide, seen one similar to this before. Waited til muggles cleared before attempting, waited and waited. Found instantly dispite its camo. Then had to wait a bit for muggles to move away to replace. Great cache idea, good hide. Well done co. tftc.

Amazing, so clever!

My GPS took me to the spot but didn't tell me where to look then. I eventually spotted it. Worth a favorite. Thanks brewcat31.

Really clever

Got to within 1 m of GZ but had to wait while 2 young muggles played with a camp fire (?) setting nearby. Studied previous logs and after they moved away made a quick assault and the cache was logged at 3pm. An interesting hide. TFTC

Another Monday had come around again, this time it was School Holidays and we had some extra time off, so that gave us more time to cache. Sfter picking up a few caches that had been on our Radar for some time we headed down to Geelong, to clean us several Puzzles that had been in our solved list for some time. Thanks brewcat31 for the cache.

Found with Rebel Acts. Nice first cache hide. Easy find for us though! Cheers

On my way home from work I managed this one in my high heels but I wouldn.t recommend it. Flat heels would make it a lot easier. Nice little park and very popular at 5.30 at night with people walking there dogs. Love looking at the houses here to.
Good piece of woodwork, original.
thanks for the cache brewcat31

Wonderful hide, a muggle and his dog appeared from nowhere, a quick retrieve and replace and off we go , TFTC

Find #1379. Found @ 18:25.

I was leaving work, on my way to my regular Thursday evening dinner plans, when I realised that I had a few minutes up my sleeve. Off to the nearest cache I go.

This is a nice big area for the geo-woofers to play, and there were a few around. Luckily none of them were anywhere near where I wanted to be.

It took me a minute or two to spot the camouflage. I had the container in hand shortly after.

Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables.
Thanks for the cache brewcat31.

Found 13:45, after a brief search. Nice hide

TNLN, thanks brewcat31.

Found this one at 12:25 while on the way back to the netball pick-up. The spot-on coordinates soon had me with the very nicely camoed stash in sight, then in hand not long after. Thankfully the park wasn't in use even though it was such a glorious day.

TNLNSL, although our BYO pen geocoin had a visit to mark the occasion. Thanks brewcat31.

It was such nice weather today and I had a few spare hours so decided to go and hopefully find a puzzle I had finally solved, grab a few traditional caches and pickup my 200th multi cache.
I was on my way home from my run today and since it would take way too long to get here during a work lunch break I thought I would try and find it now.
I wandered into the park and a woman was talking very loudly on her phone near GZ so I ducked around the back way and snuck up and quietly searched for about 10 minutes and finally found it. Excellent camouflage. After I left she was still on the phone at the top of her lungs which was actually good because with the noise she was making she wasn't going to hear me sneaking around in the bushes.
Thanks for the cache, the hunt and the fun. A favourite from me.

I don't normally enjoy this type of cache, but this one was very well made and the cameo was awesome and wasn't to hard to do, a fav point for you,

thanks brewcat31 [:x]

Favourable traffic gave me a few minutes to look for this one. This park has one of my boy's home cricket grounds. The season finished just before publication. All was fine with the cache.

I came here yesterday arvo and noticed the cleverly camo'd cache fairly quickly but not being very agile I needed a piece of equipment that I had at home to help me retrieve the cache.

I returned today with the said equipment and at a better time of day as yesterday there were several muggle dog walkers and parents with kids, not that anybody worries about we older women doing strange things in parks. I quickly retrieved the well-hidden cache and signed the log at 2:20 pm. TNLN.

Thanks brewcat31 for the ingenious hide and for bringing me to this off-lead park that is only a couple of km from home so I'll be back here with the geobeagles soon. A great first cache brewcat31, a lovely location and one of the better constructed caches that I've seen for a while so it gets a fave from me.

Had no idea about what I was looking for and too many options. And not the best time during footy practice adjacent. Shame because it was a 35 min walk here friom home. Maybe next time brewcat31.

Smart hide. TFTC.

First cache! TFTC!

We found this cache today at 5:00pm as number 13 of 13 or our Darebin Event Jaunt II. A cute hide and our 148th 3TF. Thanks from D & HA B-A.

Neat little hide.
Did some one lose a fluro green stylus on a bungee 'cos I found one on the ground at GZ.
TFTC

A number of muggle dog walkers here this morning with fancy ball-throwing sticks. One of them even had two balls for the dog to chase - chasing the second with the first still in its mouth. It really didn't know what to do when it got to the second ball! Fortunately they were far enough away not to bother me. Found the cache at 10:40am after a short search. Nice hide, worth a fave point from me.
TNLN
thanks brewcat31

20 meters away.
Just to the Northwest.
Was where my eccentric uncle used to live.
He liked go carts and employed professional drivers because his boys didn't like it.
He would fly to Hong Kong to get 50 rolls of film developed.
He gave up 40 years of medicine to frame pictures.
He had seven children just to have one more than my family.
He had an opinion on everything which could not be changed.
He was great conversation.
I miss him.
He passed on a few years back and only remnants of his huge block that used to have a small vineyard out the back can be made out.
Part of the huge house are still there but none of the spare land remains. The motel has extended.
Mark down another first to find for the bananas.

Published - Well done on your first cache placement
