The Travel Bug Capsule Hotel Langwarrin, Victoria, Australia
By the Monkey King on 16-Jun-14. Waypoint GC54PCG

The area this has been hidden was cleared by people doing work on the power lines, so there isn't anywhere for it to hide anymore.

Needs maintenance. May take a few weeks as I am away with work.

This cache is in disrepair. Nothing but a vamp note pad inside, dirty and smelly. No wonder no TBs will stay there.

Got it

Squeezed the geo-loppy in behind the shrubs before making my way to the actual cache location. Cache was laying in the open but it was closed up tight so I logged my visit and placed it back a bit with some cover. No bugs to be found in this hotel. TNLNSL. TFTC. Kkams

Just visiting with my own travel bug to log it back in Australia. Please don't look for this travel bug, as it is only a visit.

Found with Loci612. More later...

Cankid needed to log some TB's for a Project GC badge, and this one had the right type of TB in it so we decided to swing past and log it!

Had to be quick for parking, helps to have a navigator, it comes up very quick.

Found the cache quickly, logged the TB, and went on to the next

Thanks!

Found with monica_is_evil and mrx2. left TB. TFTC

Came East for some work and a small geo gathering.
Drove around, walked a bit... Found your cache.
No bugs today but a nice quick cache smiley!

TFTC! Quick find with mrx2 and Diablo1234 on an afternoon out caching!

Found with monica_is_evil, diablo1234

Instead of saying this is a lie, I would ask that you read the cache inventory to the side that actually shows there are no travel bugs in this hotel at the moment.

It appears you are fairly new to geocaching, so I am happy to mentor your developement in the hobby if you like.

It's a lie there are no travel bugs in there.

I agree beckgiz as I went out yesterday and should have found 6 TB but again none.... I have 2 on me and want to place them in a good cache but yet to find one

All travel bugs have been marked as missing.

Please don't judge the quality of the geocache by the lack of quality from fellow geocachers who take travel bugs and keep them.

Hopefully someone will remember they have taken some trackables and log them.

Been meaning to stop and get this one for a while now and today was the day unfortunately it's really not much of a TB hotel, in fact theres absolutely nothing in it whatsoever as it seems has been the case for quite sometime now although apparently the last finder placed a TB in not too long ago but sadly that has also disappeared into the black hole that seems to have swallowed all the other TBs I do wish people would remember to log TBs when they take them it must be very disappointing for people to send these TBs out into the world only to have them disappear because of such a simple issue. Well anyway I did sign the very lonely (and slightly damp) log and placed back where it belongs, I did plan to put one of my TBs in but changed my mind under the circumstances. TFTC I really hope there might one day be some more guests at this hotel!

Found easily. Cache empty except for log book.
SL. Left travel bug. TFTC!

Another cache and another spot filled on the calendar. After just parking the car I was approached by the nearby home owner. He was concerned I had broken down. I assured him my car was in working order and that I was here on other business. He mentioned that he often has weird people stopping here. He was relieved when I told him of the real reason for my visit. He left and I went and found the cache.

Thanks to the Monkey King for placing this cache

Nice easy find. Were new to this so not sure if we're missing something. The app said there were 5 travel bugs here, but when we opened the cache there were none?

Tftc first find for 2018

We were due for a nice easy find and this one delivered.
Took nothing, Left nothing.
Thanks Monkey King for the cache.
Chiefton!!!

No bugs at home today. TFTC

Dropped off two Travel Bugs into the hotel this afternoon, was down in this area for a birthday party so moved the bugs on. Thanks and Cheers and good travelling.

A girls day out with sharkiefan, OzHockeyChick and Ms Papillon4506 caching in the Cranbourne area.
The sun was now shining between the breaks in the clouds and the trees were steaming in the warm sun. A short stroll to GZ and we soon had the cache in hand.........unfortunately the hotel was full of vacancies and there was not a TB to be seen and none to drop in. TFTC

Found on a day out with the girls. A quick stop but no trackables inside. Tftc

10:15 am #3620
Another girls day out with Mrs Papillon4506, Mrs Mark&Kelly & Ms sharkiefan. Today we hit Cranny!
Unfortunately, no tbs here today.
Thanks for placing this cache here for us to find. Cheers

Dropped off a tb here the other day, just loging it now

visited to drop off some travel bugs as part of the Mary Hyde treasure hunt.

We stopped by today after attending a Canada Day event. We found the cache lying upside down, and empty except for the logbook and one piece of swag. There were no Trackables. We have just visited our two, TNLN. Thanks!

Passing by today to collect the TBs, but only found 2, Gloria and Cache Strapped.

Could all cachers taking and dropping off travel bugs please log the travel bugs in a timely fashion, otherwise they will be marked as 'gone missing'

After playing darts. I need to find to get the souvenir.
Found it
All good condition
Thanks The Monkey King.

Thankyou for the hide here, I get paranoid in public places so this was great! Left a TB

Found this on a rainy ANZAC Day. There was only 1 TB present which is not listed on the cache page.
It's a wooden coin but the tracking code isn't readable, I have had this coin before and have messaged the CO to try to get it back on track.

Dropped off a TB.

Thanks the Monkey King

Since moving from New Zealand I have been enjoying the area, exploring and finding caches. I have got a nice streak going and hoping to let it run for as long as possible. This may or may not become easier now that I have found a job but I’m still currently staying with my brother (stinky tom) and his family which includes my nephew (stinky bob).

A big thanks goes out to all the cachers and cache owners without whom this lifestyle would not be possible.
The caches I’ve found in Australia so far have for the most part all been in great condition. Keep up the good work. Everyone likes finding a well maintained cache with a dry logbook.

A beautiful little cache! This is a cache that I've wanted to have a go at for a long time and finally today was the day that we could attempt it. Upbeat
Upon arrival of gz, we found a pretty big blue tongue lizard acting as the guardian of the cache. From there it wasn't too hard to navigate to the cache. We looked in the box and - wow! A trackable that I actually released! I was wondering where it had ended up and I had no idea it was here! We were going to take the other trackable in the box, but we decided to leave that one as someone else can decipher the trackable code! A very nice cache indeed!

Found this one today after driving home from university, after missing the parking spot I had to go around and have a re run at the telstra parking spot. Making a quick driving maneuver into the parking spot I hoped out of the car to begin the hunt. After a quick walk and a little look around the cache was soon in hand and seemed to be lacking trackables to which I then put the one in the glove box of my car into for the next person to move along. Anyways thanks for the cache and the little walk.
**Buhfuhguh #810**

Thanks for the cache
Was nice finding on a nice afternoon

Looking for the listed car park, the car in front turned on it's indicator and I thought it was also pulling into the same spot. Drove past and watched the car change its mind and pull into the next driveway instead.
Did a legal u turn up the road and pulled into the parking bay. Realised afterwards, when noticing every fast car breaking quickly as they got to my car, they must have thought I was an unmarked police car hiding behind the bushes.
Cache found easily after I walked south instead of north.
Grabbed the only TB on location, with 4 listed caches not seen.
Thanks for the cache The Monkey King

A quick and easy find as we cache our way through the area today. Do watch out for the skip jack ant nest near gz, Geoturtle37 didn't notice it and paid the painful price. Ouch! We dropped off a TB while we were there. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.

Love these hidden little nature walks. TFTC

Find #2432

Was passing by this one today and had enough time to stop by and take a look. I actually missed the parking spot on the first pass and so had to circle around (legally) and have another go. once parked up it was a short walk down to GZ. I searched a few spots as my GPS was a little off at first. I was over-complicating it really and after moving along a bit more I spotted it. Discovered the trackables that were in the cache, grabbed a couple to move on locally and visited a few of my own. I only spotted 5 of the 7 listed TBs in the cache but I guess I could have missed some smaller ones. Thanks for the cache the Monkey King.

Dropped off three TBs. Found in the company of quiet1_au and GJMMelb. TFTC

A quick find after parking in the only spot that seemed reasonably safe and sensible and walking to GZ, I was just ahead and noticed a side "trail" where the cache was spotted immediately. Devoid of trackables, we had some to drop off so managed to get a half dozen or so fitted in before rehiding it again TFTC

Dropping off 3 TBs

Found with Lochb and Quiet1_au. We were keen to find this one a off load some TBs. After a short walk along the road Q soon spotted this. After logging we restocked and left. Thanks the Monkey King
GJMMelb

Dropping off Quackers the duck TB in the eve of the AFL Grand Final. As always Tftc.

I found it!

Despite I have known about this cache for a long time, it has taken me this long to find it.

I found it!

Conducted owner maintenance on the cache today - marked all TBs as missing, as they have been takenby someone and not logged or moved on. Hopefully they will turn up again.

Also placed the cache back where it actually was hidden in the first place, as some cache creep had occurred, and generally tidied the hotel.

With luck some new customers will arrive soon.

Quick and easy drive by for our drive home, nice secluded little spot

Found it however no tbs were in it.

?

Had an hour or two to spare today so collected 4 caches in the general area before heading over to Cranbourne for a late lunch. Cache found quite exposed (due to lack of foliage) and unfortunately bereft of TB's. Signed log and returned as found. Many thanx to the Monkey King

Quick easy find, but no TB to help on there travels. TFTC

Quick drive by on our way home. Unfortunately no TB's to swap. TFTC Find# 185 29 June 2016 3:00 pm

We stopped by to start our visit

My parent must have only started using this road after the bitumen was laid as I remember travelling the length of this road many times from about the mid 70's onwards but don't recall it as a dirt road. Very different today. Stopped to check in a couple of TB's and found this hotel to be surprisingly private despite the noisy multi- lane nearby. I'm sure they will enjoy their visit but hopefully don't choose to linger to long before moving on. TFTC the Monkey King.

Found this one TFTC

Find 125

Find#165

Nice sized cache. but we found this way too easy, could see this from the path. didnt leave a TB this time.

Quick drop by for Macca the Lamb (TB)

Easy find onley 1 tb here Zedaycee took it

With Zedaycee

Quick and easy find. Only one of the listed TBs was here so not really happy leaving any TBs here.

Came here during my lunch break today specifically to drop off a travel bug (Travel Bug Grand Chelem) who wants to go the French Open, Wimbledon and the US Open. The travel bug arrived in Victoria in time for the Australian Open and was fortunate to attend. Now it is time to try and get to the next one. Good luck in your travels and hope you get there. So anyone going to Europe come and get this. And thanks Monkey King for placing this cache here.

Quick stop again... TFTC

Stopped by to drop off a travel bug picked up from Queensland. Best of luck and wishing you many great footsteps.

Returned to hotel with 2 more TBs.
Everything in fine order, but no sign of said residents ??
Thought it safer to keep travelling with them - shame as it's a useful drop off point.
Seasons Greetings & thanks again MK.

Dropping off the London Key Ring so that it can continue its merry adventures.
Re-camoflaged as was a little bit exposed.

Geoing with sister, scored big, 6 travel bugs on new adventures, tftc!

OMG TFTC great place will keep it in mind for Trackables I come across!

Thanks! TFTC!

Dropping this guy off closer the the ocean! Safe travels!

Dropping two off after a trip from Warragul. Safe travels.

just a short walk from Duck Tales3. nice hide. Tftc

I can't really drive at the moment, so I'm back to visiting caches I can reach on foot again, as when I first signed up. Though, as in this instance, unfamiliar caches now frequently mean a 10+km hike! This hot Xmas was arguably a poor choice of day for such a thing. Lucky for me the cache was readily found. The contents are some of very few trackables I've seen in the last couple of months. Picked up a coin [Breast Cancer Travel Tag Geocoin]. Thanks the Monkey King!

We were in the area when we decided to do a check on any caches, this hotel showed itself to us and we found a lot of wiery travellers staying for a short or long time


We grabbed a from the hotel tiger TB

Just dropped off four TB's into the hotel. Thanks to The Monkey King for checking them in to the Hotel. I hope they have a very Merry Christmas & have great travels in the New Year. Cheers & good luck travelling.

Great spot, loved this one. Visiting from SA and was showing the geopartner where I used to live in Langwarrin, stopped and exchanged some TBs. TFTC

A quick stop buy the travel bug capsual hotel to drop of a friendly travel bug picked up in Sydney on a mission.

Great idea, easy find, tftc!

Very noisy here. Now know why its cheap to stay. Lots of customers though. One less now. Checked out with us for a while.

Very cool concept which exited the Geokids greatly.

Love this Cache. A fave for the Geokids.

Over for the Melbourne Mega and collecting a few caches while in the area.
Thanks for adding to the enjoyment of this trip.

TFTC

In Casey Fields to attend Melbourne's first ever Mega.. I camped with Tassie Trekkers at nearby Akoonah Park and headed off after attending the event to locate this cache. TFTC

Today we explored Casey Fields and surrounds with Whitewebbs while at the the Mega using geocaching as a guide.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

On the way to the Mega with 6hinemoa2. A great two days of caching and catching up with friends. A great event that was very well organised and so much effort put in by the organisers. A great variety of caches and placements. Apologies for the generic logs as I couldn't remember each and every one.

Found it after a busy weekend at the Melbourne Mega event. Heading home now.
TFTC the Monkey King.

4:46:00 PM: (35 of 44) Find#10028
Traveled down to the Melbourne Mega from Canberra, along with Tankengine and flossy63
Caching around the area during the event days.

thanks the Monkey King

Called in here on our way back from the Mega Event and dropped off four travel tags that we had brought from northern vic. Happy travels to you all. Cheers. Sparra0907.

Found with Mtrax and Flossy63. We came down from Canberra (Flossy from NZ) to attend the Melbourne mega Event! And of course, find a few extra caches while we were down here! It was a nice drive, with plenty of caches found along the way. The only issue was - I had loaded 6000 caches into my GPS (just to cover me for the trip ) using a ggz file, but it seems the GPS wasn't happy about that! Luckily Mtrax had a smaller ggz file, so I copied that one, and all was good. We found 162 caches all up over the long weekend, can't complain about that.

Thanks for the cache MK

Dropped off a few travel bugs during the mega weekend

Full log to come

Parked and headed in to gz, then the cache owner popped up, gday you have gone to far, without prompt the cache was soon in hand, thanx for the cache, cheers

Found after a short search - probably a bit harder in the dmark than in daytime but we did find it. No travel bug or coins in the cache.
TFTC

Another find tonight. Thanks for the parking coordinates it was a short stroll to GZ.
No sign of coins or bugs.
Thanks

Found this good little hide. Took the lizard travel bug to keep him moving. Thanks for the cache

Just dropped off a new travel bug into the hotel. He was the only guest. Happy travels.
