Since the removal of tree cover we believe this location is no longer suitable.
 
01-Jul-18
Needs maintenance. Muggles are aware of its location and are continually damaging contents.

Very Very easy
 
18-Feb-18
My last find of the day before heading home. I had actually decided to go home when I saw my route took me past here. It would be rude not to stop! I managed to miss the cache on my first pass as I wasn't looking as carefully as I could have. TFTC!
 
16-Feb-18
Nice quick find in the most likely spot - TFTC!
 
11-Feb-18
Today we started geocaching and this was our 4th find. It was well hidden in a logical position.

04-Jan-18
I found this cache today at 5:40pm as number 5 of 5 on my Foothills Five on a divert on the way home. A quick in and out here and just in time too. Thanks from D B-A.

#1315 - 10.35pm
What a day!!
I finally got a moment for myself after 10pm. It was a welcome chance to chill and sift through the ashes of the day.
This cache was a surprisingly ballsy hide. I like that!
All was quiet on the street.
But the ants were running amok made the return rather tricky.
Thanks to Theleefamily99.

As I'm now 3 months behind in my logging I am desperately trying to catch up and am mass logging to do so. Red Face

In the Melbourne CBD for almost 2 weeks for training for work and naturally I grabbed some caches Cool
Some were lunch time walks and some were night time drives.
It took me quite a while to get used to the behaviour of the GPSr in this city SurprisedTwisted
Took me even longer to get used to those 'hook turns' Surprised[?]Surprised

Tonight I headed out to give a hand to kmace as she needed a role player and I'm up for that! RazzWink
Afterwards we set out for a caching run and I made 8 Smile finds and had 1 Sad DNF, so all in all a good night Cool
My thanks to all the CO's who showed me some great spots around Melbourne and for the fun caches [^]Cool[:X]

Found this one with locus cache after doing some role plays. This one had us both looking and looking but eventually locus cache located this sneakily hidden cache. Signed the log and returned this one to its hide. This become the final cache for the night for me.

Thanks for the cache and the challenge.

TFTC. Friendly neighbourhood boy wanted to show us where the box was as soon as we got out of the car and headed towards GZ. (I asked him not too and found it before he could show me). Lol. Guess he can spot geocachers from a mile away.
 
09-Nov-17
Found it
 
07-Nov-17
Great spot. Some muggle had thrown the pad and info every where.
 
03-Oct-17
After realising that there was a glitch in the Matrix yesterday while I logged this one, I have now returned today and filled it in.
 
02-Oct-17
Not sure what happened to the log yesterday while out in the field, so I've come today to fill it in.

It's nice to see these little pockets of native parks springing up around houses - even in such a leafy suburb as The Basin. We were on our way up to the National Park off of Foster Rd and saw this little green dot blinking at us. An easy Park n Grab the log was signed fairly quickly, although getting the youngest back in the car after he went on a lizard hunt proved to lengthen our time here. TFTC!

With 3 million geocaches on the planet, we've chosen yours to find. You should be thanking us!

During the deathly cold chill of winter, this geocacher tends to hibernate much like a bear. However with the onset of spring and the air perfumed with floral scents, this cacher has emerged from his cave and renewed the hunt for geocaches once again.

Teaming up with 4evatinks, we proceeded to find a few caches in the area and this was find #3 for the night after dinner at Boronia. We parked and under our headlamps surveyed GZ. A large tree had been removed and there was a fence running along the path. My GPS was playing up and it had me pointing in completely the wrong area. Fortunately 4evatinks GPS was much better behaved and we soon were searching in the correct spot and the container was quickly found. We SL & replaced as found. An interesting monument and park. TFTC Theleefamily99.

Such a great hide, loved it! I'm glad that level crossing was removed. Tftc
 
04-Sep-16
Thought it was fenced off but on another look found i could walk through this quaint little reserve. Was interesting to read the plaque and info as I am a Cub Scout leader so any info about scouting is interesting to me. Looked around before searching and thought ah ha thats where it will be and it was although didn't put my hand on it straight away. Being a sunday morning not many people around. TFTC and history lesson.
 
03-Sep-16

As Bend Sinister and I approached, I realised we were really close to my son's house.
We also realised that we were in plain sight of the neighbours across the road. However, a conveniently placed tree hid us from the gazes, and after taking turns trying to grasp the cache from the clutches of its holder, we were eventually successful and put our names in the book.
TFTC Theleefamily99 Smile

Found this one with OzHockeyChick. It's very much within her 10-kilometres-from-home zone, but for me this is largely unfamiliar and intriguing territory. I recall being concerned that the neighbours might be taking more interest than is ideal, so was thankful that OHC was onto this one within seconds. It did, however, take substantially longer to actually get the log signed. Thanks for alerting me to the existence of this rather striking little reserve, Theleefamily99!
