Holy Grail Westmeadows, Victoria, Australia

This one is now too well known to muggles to be replaced

In addition to this, after the headache of people not being able to read the description and were continually walking inside the grounds - it's simply not worth it.

Hi, I Was Walking Down The Path Today And Noticed 3 Kids Sitting Next To The Bus Stop With a Rock Container So I said To Them "You kids shouldn't have that geocache" so then they lLeft The Cache on The Ground And Sprinted Away. I Have The Cache At the Moment And Will Place it back Tomorrow Where I think It Should Go. Everything is fine with the cache except the cap to the bison tube inside.

So Just Be Alarmed Everyone That Kids In "Gladstone Park Seccondary College" Uniform Are Going On Some "Muggle Runs"

-Thanks For Your a understandment That I Have Saved The Cache Sorta...

Due to the recent muggling, this one is going to be offline while I consider how to reclaim the actual cache and if it's worth continuing with it at all.

We spent a short while looking for this well hidden cache but due to lots of traffic passing by and the closeness of windows overlooking the area as well as a car parked nearby we decided that perhaps it would be better to try again another day.
TFTC uberdruid that eluded us today!

I have removed the "needs maintenance" attribute for this log.

While I appreciate the feedback regarding people entering the front yard of the resident, the description does state that there is no need and will result in a no find. The cache is not there.

I have edited the description to ensure it's displayed prominently.

The owner will have my contact details and if fellow cachers can't follow a basic instructions I will archive and remove the cache.

As per my recent log I have communicated to the Cache Owner the concerns of the resident about people being in her front yard.

This is a serious issue and as yet there has been no response from the CO. If there is not one reasonably soon I will need to raise this matter with a Reviewer.

Eventually found this one. I walked up and down the road waiting for the bus to depart and finally found the hiding spot.
I thought it may have to be a D NF. Just got lucky I suppose. Happyb to sign the log.

Another DNF this time from me. I met the owner (the local religious representative) who was happy enough with the visitors but concerned about people being in her front yard, which is where the GPS sends you! I promised that I would contact the CO directly which I will do now.

Sighted just now intact.

Have been wanting to do this one for some time. Found it tucked in its space, retrieved and had to look like I was doing shoelace up to complete log as lots of muggle cars were going past. TFTC

Epic Fail [B)]

Perhaps the CO could confirm the status of this cache.

I was out there not a week ago and the cache was fine.

It is a tricky cache container and I realise some people can get stuck with it.

Some of the recent storm damage around the area has made a small tree fall quite close to GZ but it wasn't obscuring it.

Can see a spot exactly where a cache would sit but nothing there!

We stopped here with micaparamedic but despite quite a few minutes we left empty handed.
The GPSr kept pointing to a location we did not feel right about.
We will have to come back another day.
Thanks anyway uberdruid

Getting late in the evening and we wanted one more cache before heading home. We scanned up and down the garden edge for 15 minutes or so but couldn't come up with the cache find. We also referred to previous logs for inspiration but all to no avail. Too good for us today uberdruid.

DNF Could not find this one. GPS had me in a muggle yard & plenty of cars going past & young school muggles waiting for a bus

The weather felt like we were back in summer and it was a pleasant night out cachin, we headed North of the city today to clean some up. Thanks uberdruid for the cache.

A mild night for caching with only a few early drops of rain. Rebel Acts and I concentrated on the northern suburbs of Melbourne for a quick 28 - 29 finds. Co-ords had us a little off, but cache was found and signed. Thanks

Co ordinates led me into a birch yard but didn't want to go in their front yard.


-SSBDNF (so sorry but did not find)

I met up with Day1976 for an afternoon and evening of caching. We decided to start north east of the city and work our way west towards an event we were going to attend later that night at Point Cook. The weather had looked a bit ominous earlier on but held off for us and it was actually pretty mild all evening.
A tricky one to find at night and the coords seemed to point into the grounds but knew it wouldn't be on that side of the garden bed.With stealth we carefully made our way along the footpath, checking possible hiding spots in the garden bed and bingo. Found and log signed.
Thanks.

Took the afternoon off work to catch up with Quasar3671 for a bit fo a caching run through the northern suburbs. Not an easy find in the dark with a bit of muggle activity around, but ninja like we made the find!

Spent a bit of time here, and even after a PAF we DNF'd. Going to watch this one, but believe, it might have walked.

This was the final cache in a 21 cache streak where all the caches were at least 1km apart. This took a while to find but the log was signed.

Thanks for the cache uberdruid.

Had actually planned to avoid this one due to the recent DNF's but when my GPS showed me this was the next closest one I went up and looked for it. Once I got to about 3m away, I started looking for something that could blend in but also hide a cache inside it. As I'd seen one before (and had stumped me for several months) I knew exactly what they looked like. I found it in a matter of seconds. Sat down on the rocks to sign the log, then waited for the cars to clear before putting it back. Well hidden uberdruid. Had lots of fun.

Tried to find with the Geodog but no luck today. Lots of muggles at the church so couldn't hang around too long.

Found it after the woodlands trail with my friend Ckronos !

Wasn't able to find it today....maybe next time with a fresh set of eyes might give me more luck!!

First day in Australia, I'm a bit tired by 30h of travel in plane but i'm so excited to discover the country.

Cache found with Beenasse.

TFTC

Suscoe's 3rd find of 22 for today as we wandered about this area.
What a terrific old church nearby, and a great information board filled in the who when and why.
A quick find and sign.
Thanks to uberdruid for making us stop here in our quest for the holy grail.

High muggle zone!

Another awesome cache hide from uberdruid. A great hide and nice amount of difficulty to match. Due to its location, you can't help but look like your up to something dodgy - TFTC / TNLN

P.s Another favourite point for you.

Coordinates changed from:
S 37° 40.619 E 144° 53.603

Coordinates changed to:
S 37° 40.621 E 144° 53.598

Distance from original: 27 feet or 8.2 meters.
Checking on the cache since it's been submitted and noticed to coordinates appear out. Taking another reading and hopefully should be fixed.

Looked up and down for this one but with no luck. That is when the Priest from the Vicarage turned up and asked me what I was doing. I had to explain the geocache and why people might be tempted to stomp in her front yard. She was OK with it and fascinated by the whole concept. We both searched up and down but with no luck.
I think if too many go in her front yard she will want it removed. Why place it here rather than down near the church?

Yay found it took Chinese coin and will take another coin to replace

Thought I might have been an FTF chance here, but should have known nirgal would be out and about! Took a bit of searching before I found it for a 2TF at 12:30pm - about 45 min too late to take the honours.
TNLN
thanks uberdruid

I noticed this in the email notifications this morning, and thought FTF would be claimed for sure by now. No matter; today's a "must cache" day, and it so happened that I had a job close by, so I swung past for a look on the way back home.

Casually strolling from the church parking lot I read the description again and made note of the surroundings. Hmm... I know that you've made some quality cache purchases, uberdruid, so took a guess about what I was looking for. A bit of searching, carefully timed with the passage of vehicles along the street, and there it was. Now for the important question...

A blank log sheet?

Um...

Yes!

**FTF**

My 28th, and at least one in each month so far this year. How long can this continue?

Thanks, uberdruid. A well placed cache; good coordinates, and the terrain rating is accurate. The way I see it, I've had my good fortune today, so will leave the Chinese coin for the next lucky finder.

So excited for another ftf, but.it was not to be. My GPS has me in someone's front yard next to the church, but firmly far enough away to be unsure where to search in the dark. I'll be interested to see if anyone else comes up with very far out coords. Thanks anyway, uberdruid!
