OSS - Saturn Heidelberg, Victoria, Australia
By kangadrew72 on 19-Jan-16. Waypoint GC69Z0H

Because of the pandemic, many caches became
unmanageable in the time
needed to race out to them and I have not been able to
justify the time to keep this cache going.
I know you may be sad that this cache,
like many of it’s partners is going, but
sometimes it is an old cache that makes way for a new one.
Until next we meet on the caching trail, have an
extra special time caching. KD.

3rd cache 17/9/21

.

2nd one down good location

thanks, but small though

Nice and easy find, but not quite a pine cone in disguise.

An enjoyable wander on Father’s Day 2021 amongst the pines.

Easy fine

Easy find

Nice quick find, TFTC!

Very cool. My first ever Geocache!

Not much of a challenge this one

Watch out for needles!

Nice and easy! Stay safe friends

Quick find while getting a walk in
TFTC

All good at GZ. View to the hospital nearby. Enough concrete there to have some gravitational influence!

Josh D! Nice little spot.

??

Found a little key chain

I needed to fill in a day on the grid today, so headed out for a night cache. I was glad (lucky?) To locate this one quite quickly. Tftc!

We found our first cache!!!!

Nice stretch of legs while at hospital. Nice easy find for kids. 3yo found it and shouted, “yay, I found the geocache”

Nice easy find here after initially searching the wrong “area”.
Fortunately, I didn’t have too much more time to hunt for the cache as it was soon discovered as suggested in the description.
The cache, container and log are in excellent condition.
I visited 4 TB.
TFTC here.

After visiting family at the hospital I had a few spare minutes to attempt this cache. It was found in good condition. Thanks Kangadrew72 for OSS Saturn.

Easy with clue

Very long story and drive short (not short drive) I had to drop my car off here to a friend who is taking it to my parents place for storage while we are travelling around Australia- he was late and I had to wait this filled in the time! TFTC

Finally had the chance to seek this one. I'm house/dog sitting in Ivanhoe for my son. The lockdown has limited me a little.
Had no trouble here thanks to the clue.

We are getting the hang of it!!

Found, easy though!

My first find for 2021 l hope to find more this year than last (shouldn't be to hard considering) thanx for the hide so close to the hospital it was a good distraction

First of hopefully many finds for 2021.

Best time of year to park in this area, spots everywhere! Easy find, TFTC.

A nice Christmas smelling patch of parkland, and a very easy find for Saturn. TFTC!

What a great day to find this one. Today Saturn and Jupiter are having a "great conjunction" where they line up in the sky and make and extra big point of light. Unfortunately it is set to rain in Melbourne tonight. Fortunately we had a look through the telescope on the previous two nights, so while we may have missed the big day we certainly got a good look at the lead up. Like many people Saturn is my favourite - but seeing five moons of Jupiter last night was pretty special too. Thanks for the cache!

Third one of the day

First geocache found ever

Foun! Thanks

We arrived early for my appointment at the Austin Hospital so thought we would grab this cache whilst we wait. Very easy find but we didn't bring a pen with us so photo is attached for owners reference looking forward to find the others in this series

A nice find in a little slice of nature.

Easy sweet tiny find. Remember to open and sign it

Tiny but easy. Signed.

Second find for the day

??

TFTC

Brilliant idea for a geocache hunt. Can't wait until we're out of COVID-19 restrictions so we can visit the rest!

Quick find after work. TFTC ️

This cache could be visited during a short break in Heidelberg. Nice place!!

Find number 8397 at 1:56:25 pm
Had to come over to Heidelberg this afternoon to borrow some tools from my Brother and this DNF has been bugging me for ages.
Not quite sure what my problem was last time because this was an easy find. Maybe I got spooked by the cranky lady that lives here.
Another DNF redressed
Cache logged with sanitised hands.
**Thanks for placing this cache kangadrew72**

TFTC, a quick find not so easy hill climb on the bike to start the day off with!

First attempt & find

Took allybombally on there first geocache, this was a fun one to find hidden well

Quick park and grab on the way home from the Donaldson Creek Trail. It felt like Christmas with all these pine trees. TFTC

not too hard

Nice

Dhcj

Great concept to remind us of how small we are relative to the universe. Target is right at GZ but choose the big stake.

Found but didn't sign, no pen.

Forgot my pen but great cache

Found

Found

Some outdoor exercise in the midst of lockdown. Thank you.

Arrived here to add another county to the list. Getting towards 20 percent of Australian counties. Strange to land on another one of these series by luck.

Awesome!!!!! Found this with my grandkids. Introducing them to the fun of geocaching

TFTC! It was a amazing and quickly to get.

7 Feb 2020: Streak Day #344/366 (1 March 2019 - 29 February 2020). Neat hide, thanks kangadrew72 for placing the cache and a quick stop and grab.

GeoSon and my last one for the day. We've had a lovely day out caching which is usually spent with my GeoDaughter but this time we changed it up.
Also showing GeoSon where his Dad grew up as this is practically out the front.
TFTC
I haven't looked at this series but will now go look the rest up.

Collecting OSS series, tftc!

Found on 9/1/20 with my caching partner Marion133, but forgot to log on the day.

We’re slowly trying to work our way through OSS series, but haven’t made much progress yet. We’d had our eye on Saturn for a while now, so it’s great to have finally marked it off. TFTC

Was a lovely area thank you

Get ready for spikes

TFTC. We had left Maryborough heading to Wheelers Hill to keep an eye on daughter’s house while they were away. If truth be know we just wanted to cache the other side of Melbourne. While we were on the way we decide to try to find the last two required LGA’s. This was the first required. Easy cache to find. Parking is a bit on the hard side.

Easy find. Nice location. Thanks for bringing me here & TFTC

Love learning about the planets Easy little cache
TFTC
Found with __KVN

Cache #49
Traditional Cache #40

Fun idea. TFTC

Forgot to bring a pen to log this, and didn't want to make the trek back and forth to the car to get it on this very hot day with geokids. Nice easy find. TFTC.

Great! I found it. It was hard at first because we were looking at wooden stakes and then we found some metal stakes and got exited but could not find anything on it then one of my friends spotted a metal stake hiding in a tree and boom we found it. Awesome geocache I am also glad that you are adding a bit of education into the mix of fun. This is a great geocache you should try it out some time soon. Thanks.

Found It!
After finding somewhere to park, I walked back to GZ and quickly found the cache!

Cache all in place and good to go

Muggled cache replaced

###**CACHE OWNER ACTION REQUIRED PLEASE**###

----------

Hi there Cache Owner,

This cache has come to my notice as there is a 'Needs Maintenance' log that that indicates there is some sort of issue with the placement and it needs your attention please.

Check out the Guidelines here: [**cache owners responsibilities.**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines#listingmaintenance) If you can't attend to the issue promptly, then you need to [**Disable the cache**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=235) - I have Disabled it for you this time.

**Can you please respond to this situation (or indicated your intention) within 14 days,** so others know exactly what is happening with this cache?

You have lots of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:

- Check on the cache, repair and/or replace the cache or do whatever else is needed, post an [**Owner Maintenance log**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) indicating the cache has been checked and [**ENABLE your cache.**](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ) Then sit back and wait for the praises.

- If you really hope to get it fixed but there is some unusual reason why you can't do it soon, then at least post a Write Note log (within 14 days). Be sure to indicate the actual date that you expect to have it fixed so that everyone knows you are on top of it. For ongoing issues (where you don't have an actual date) please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 28 days so as to keep everyone up to speed.

- If you don't plan on fixing it then you could consider passing it on to another geocacher by asking them to [**Adopt it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=54) or alternatively, you need to [**Archive it,**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=56) so it is removed from searches and someone else can have the spot. Don't forget to remove any remnants of your previously enjoyed cache too.

You might wonder what happens if you don't pick one of those. Well, if nothing happens, then a few weeks from today, when I next look at the cache page, it is likely that I will unfortunately have to de-list (Archive) it on the basis that it has been abandoned.

Honestly, I'd rather you decide so please do something before then. Please don't send me an email but instead follow the information/advice posted above.

Dropped my brother off at work and grabbed this on the way home. I found the logstrip on the grass and hid it under a brick next to the metal stake. Cheers.

Yes, the log just lying in the open, no container seen here. And it’s a cedar, not a pine! Tftc

No container, log lying in the open. Maintenance needed.

Log out in the open, no sign of container.

Found it really quickly. But the log to sign was out in the open not inside a tube at all. Needs some attention.

Done

When Jetstar tells you your flight has been delayed for three hours, you make the most if that three hours. And by this point I was quite spent and looking forward to that hot beverage. It is also this point that I noticed there’s no sharper caching eyes than Raindoctor’s tired eyes! I’m told that this is a very special series - very creative indeed! A special cache to end the day on. Thank you so much for such a great weekend of caching! Thank you Jetstar for delaying my flight

Hey it's that series I am trying to do! How fortunate! Misspalot kindly agreed to make this our last cache of our epic caching walk - 30,000 steps! It was time for coffee and a drive to the airport. Waaaaaah!

No idea why this is not logged as I came here last time in Melbs. Can’t forget a pining! TFTC

Thanks for this nice little cache

Got it! Now to find the rest of the solar system...

Great spot, love the surrounding greenery!!

My GPS was spinning like Saturn. I found the cache easily eventually. TFTC kangadrew72

PM Tumut NSW

Found with Kapybeara this Easter Saturday. Only had time for two caches this afternoon. This one was found easily. TFTC

Nice easy find once at the right angle. At a family get together a decided on a nice little walk while waiting for the meat to cook.

Pen rudely decided to stop working but love he location. As first I was worried about muggles looking on the map. But didn’t need to worry about them as much as I thought

after a few wrong area searches, found and signed TFTC

Spotted this one while out today.
TFTC

Added new waterproof log
All ok
Thanks
