Geocaching on the cheap! Oakleigh, Victoria, Australia
By dosy on 23-Apr-15. Waypoint GC5T5YF

As there has been no response by the cache owner to the previous note, I am forced to archive this listing.

Came through here this morning thinking the public holiday was an ideal time to have a good search. Unfortunately, no luck.....

Could the CO check to see the cache remains in place? It appears a number of us haven't been able to find it in almost a month...

So it seems the cache has gone missing. I will replace it as soon as possible!

☹☹☹

Not that easy

I think it was stolen

Had to come over to Bentleigh today to drop something off and so I decided to combine it with some geocaching in the sand belt.
Couldn't find it today but I did find 2 empty mint tins in the garden beds so maybe I might be putting out some of my own cheap caches.
Thanks for placing this cache dosy

Found it! TFTC.

Had an appointment nearby and had some time up my sleeve so visited this park to grab a cache. I had to use my geosenses as my GPS had me on the lawn. Lots of muggles around so slowly ambled around, enjoying the spring flowers whilst searching. Spotted the cache amongst the plants.
Amazing how cheap you can make geocaches these days! Thanks for sharing. Unfortunately there is no trackable. However looking at the page, it appears to be a vehicle trackable, so it's no wonder it ain't here.
TFTC! Great way to use time whilst waiting.

TFTC. First one. Took about 5 mins.

Sorry for the dalay in logging but have not been well. had a great time grabbing a few caches with Trailrunning on a nice Public holiday. Thanks for the cache.

Found while out and about on a wonderful Friday public holiday with the usual crew. Thanks

Whilst on the way home from work I decided to stop by this park. I've never been here before or realised there were tomb stones here as well. Great little spot and a great little cache. Quick find. TFTC dosy.

Caching with PantherX and thought we would knock this area off the list. Nice weather today allot of muggles around, making this one a difficult find. After consulting with a past cache finder we were able to grab this one. Thanks!

I was out caching with Hawley3 today and we were picking up caches around Chadstone and Brandon Park, although we probably would have got a couple more had it not been for muggles. This one had us perplexed for a little while. We searched in all the obvious spots but we just couldn't make the find. There were muggles everywhere but we still had one trick up our sleeves... PAF! That was the nudge we needed (although it still seemed to elude us for a few more miuntes) and we eventually had the log book in hand. That seemed like hard work for a D1 but thanks for the hide, dosy!

Lots of places it could have been. Only had about 15 mins to look for it but no luck today. Hopefully be back in the area sometime.

Ooooh I hate it when we live this close and it's a DNF!! We'll be back!

Took us ten min, the navigator is like twenty metres wrong still fun and a great cache

Wasn't able to find this one. To be fair this was my first attempt at a Geocache and in the evening.

Gave up as I was feeling somewhat conspicuous

Loved this one. Did it after dinner with kids.

A quick cache after dinner and a show just up the road.
Well, turns out is wasnt so quick. The GPD wouldn't settle had us bouncing around all over the park!

Finally we had it in hand and signed the log..

Thanks Dosy for placing this cache :)

I love the story of how this cache came to be. Made it all the more special to find it! Delighted to find a couple of trackables too! We took one and left one for another lucky cacher. We found ourselves in the area to attend a show at the Caravan Music Club. Bonus to find a cache too. Thanks for the impressive hide!

Few muggles walking to the station, and a muggle working closeby. Grab the cache with A quick stealth.
Tftc. Now I have another reason to hide my first cache. It's cheap!

Finally a cache i can drop The knight TB. He has been following me a while now. I picked up another TB ☺

Due to personal issues, I have not been able to go out geocaching for many, many months. Tonight I came home from work and saw that there was a new cache not far from home. I could see in the picture that I could also drop off all the trackables that have been patiently sitting on my desk waiting for me to send them on their way. So tonight was the night! Off I went to an area that I had previously checked out for a new cache just before all the issues arose. It was like it was meant to be. I seriously had spent an hour around that area looking for a good place to hid a new cache and here it was! Dropped off three trackables and a couple of items, Signed the log and walked away smiling, having seriously missed caching......... TFTC and thank you to the patient owners of the trackables

Found 2:52 pm Joint FTF
Full log to follow


Thanks dosy

I was sitting at home wondering whether to go out for a while and then this popped up. Pretty rare for a cache only 4km from home so after a couple of minutes I left home and had a reasonable run to get there and managed to park right nearby.
As I alighted from the warm seats of the geo vehicle I couple of familiar faces who live a lot closer than my 4km were standing chatting and had just returned the cache to its hiding spot.
Good to see you again gmj3191 & Sirj-Oz and good to meet you Big Blank.
Damn, my 2nd 2TF this week by about 2 minutes.
Oh well thanks dosy for the cache, the hunt and the fun.

I was over in Nth Balwyn when this was published so I thought we'd have a look on the way home down Warrigal Rd.

I knew the hunt would be hot but not as quick as it turned out to be. Gee gmj can cover a lot of ground, very quickly. His new geo vehicle must have excellent wind resistance.

I really like your idea behind this cache, its name and contents. I was particularly impressed with your colouring in skills. Who says the stuff we learn at school doesn't help us in everyday situations.

Thanks dosy for the caching fun and another reason to get out of the car

Find #2102. Found @ 14:38 with gmj3191 and Big Blank.

I was pottering around the house assembling a new kitchen PC and entertainment hub when the alert for this cache came through. Ooh, less than 1.5 kms from home... I'd better get cracking.

I jumped into the geomobile and promptly got stuck at the train line, but it wasn't long before I was arriving at GZ to spy two other parties converging on the same location. Good to see you again gmj3191 and nice to meet you Big Blank.

It was only moments before Big Blank laid hands to container. I had the find location about 5m west of where my GPSr wanted me to be. The log was opened to find it empty of finders so the three of us were entered in *FTF* position.

With the cache returned as found, we stood around talking and spiffy showed up about 2 minutes later. We all had other places to be so departed after a bit of a chat.

Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables including my FTF tracker.
Thanks for the cache dosy.

With a cache appearing less than 2km from home the lure of a FTF was just too strong. Upon arrival it was obvious I had company and so with three sets of eyes it was not long before we had achieved our goal. A three way FTF with both GMJ3191 and SirJ-Oz was followed by the usual swapping of caching tales then off to get on with the more menial weekend tasks. TFTC
