I have moved further from the area and will find it hard to continue maintenance as physically it's a bit harder for me.

Like the CO ...Lysterfield Lake is also starting to hold a very special place in my heart. This place has a very good vibe, and is a pleasure to explore even though so far my exploration has been at night only. Following Pinkpiggy7 Xmas event and a multi with tim_amy and Ms F, TSB and I continued our walk back to the Geocar stopping to get this cache..as mentioned the log is damp, but we were still able to sign our names on a random page.

After many saying log is wet - it's now mouldy lol
Great spot, loved this cache!

TFTC. Log wet.
 
Out for a bit of a stretch of the legs this afternoon, along the way came across this nicely camouflaged cache that was quick and easy to locate once we had gone around in circles a few times due to GPS bouncing. Log was a little wet but did manage to log our find (might need some drying out or replacement log).

We enjoyed a wander along the Granite Peak trail. Found Bells and whistles at GZ- pity that the log was so very wet. May need a CO visit. (Could not see why it would get so wet, considering the cache design??.)
 
23-May-22
Found it! Continuing my afternoon walk I found a new / revitalized track to explore with a cache off the side. Had to wait for a couple of Muggles to walk by before I made a quick find. TFTC SL

Sick container, logbook was wet tho. Thanks!

Easy to find, it's damp and coords are pretty spot on
 
21-Jan-22
I have a little set of draft logs that are not huge in number (22) but date back eight months. I can't remember what I was doing eight days ago let alone eight months, so am going to be efficient or pragmatic or lazy or something and do generic logs. Sorry about that. I do appreciate the efforts of all COs though and can definitely say a big TFTC Smile
 
11-Jan-22
We grabbed the bicycles and started hunting and what a successful day ir was. It is always nice to get out, have fun, and then to put the icing on the cake by finding a cache or two.
P. S. I really like the description of this cashe.

It was lovely over this side of the lake today. Many people out enjoying the pleasant weather, and the local fauna. Along with Knight_shift, we were travelling around on our electric vehicles, picking up caches that I needed, although they had already signed the log previously.
Thanks for the fun 4 B Ninja's.

Thank you! I love lysterfield and used to run here all the time before moving to Colorado 11 years ago. Wonderful to be visiting old places
 
13-Oct-19
Out for a walk around the lake, this was my first find today. GPS had me in circles, but in the end an easy collection and a convenient place to rest. The park was packed with people this weekend.
 
04-Oct-19
Fantastic camp.

Thank you
 
02-Oct-19
Out for our walk on this warm sunny Melbourne day and to pick up a few caches as well. There was three traditional caches here that we were yet to do. The GPS had us a bit all over the place initially, but it was Mr Pooky who made the find in the obvious spot. While Mrs Pooky kept her eye on a couple of restless kangaroos Mr Pooky signed the log. A log that will take some time to fill. TFTC and bringing us to this spot.
 
04-Aug-19
Great find the kids loved how camo it looked

Easy to find. Thanks 4 B Ninja’s for placing this cache
 
23-Jun-19
Have never actually walked this side of the park before and with the thick fog, looked absolutely spectacular, and a little eerie. So glad we took your advice and left the bikes at home. After a quick search, cache found and the unique logbook signed.

Thank you 4 B Ninja’s for bringing us to this beautiful area. TB dropped.
 
25-Apr-19
TFTC, another good find for the kids

Find #3836. Found @ 18:19

With the rest of the family otherwise occupied, I decided to venture back to Lysterfield for a caching outing.

I felt a bit uncertain sticking my arm up there, but I did and was rewarded with a cache find.

Took nothing, left pathtag, signed log and visited some trackables.
Thanks for the cache 4 B Ninja's

Goed gevonden! TFTC! Greetings from Belgium!

Quick to spot this one, we were satisfied to be brought to this grove... Thanks for the cache!
 
03-Nov-18
Sinornithosaurus, AaronFilms and I spent the day walking and exploring around Lysterfield and completed several of the caches in the area. All in all, the day provided great weather and an amazing day out in the wilderness... we even managed to see some kangaroos and lizards which was a nice surprise too! We found some really awesome and creative caches, thanks to all the CO's for placing these caches Smile) #435

Nicely camoed container and a pretty easy find, I found the logbook very interesting, such a lengthy log and the decorations were cool also, thanks

Quick spot, last for the day. Will come back and finish another day.
 
28-Sep-18
After visiting the previous tram track cache we continued on.
The weather was fine after the earlier rain and it wad lovely strolling through the bush.
We stopped just before veering of the track to gz and a muggle snuck up on us, and he commended us on being out in nature.
A quick visit to gz and we were on our way again.
Thanks for the cache.

Apart from the fact that I swallowed a bug whilst looking for this one, I enjoyed it thoroughly. This had the best camo I've seen. I popped the canister on the ground whilest I write in the log and then had to double take around me to find it!
Sitting down a little away from gz, it's a serene, peaceful place.

This was next on today's bushwalk around the lake and it had us going for a few moments before a squiz at the hint Red Face honed our senses and we were finally logging the find at 14:00.

TNLNSL. Thanks 4 B Ninja's.

It’s awhile since I’ve been here for MTB so out to explore, find a few caches and see what has changed - more management for starters. Great time of day and plenty of resident Roos for company. TFTC

Found on a walk with my mum and sister
 
20-May-18
Took longer than planned to find, but great hide!
 
05-May-18
Lots of young eucalypts here, but no butterflies today, they must all be caterpillars waiting for spring to come Smile
 
29-Apr-18
Found on 29 Apr 2018 at 3:41 pm.
After doing a nearby whereIgo series we completed it and decided to skip the hill riding and do a much easier around the lake cache collection run.
It was much less hilly than where we had just been so it was a nice relaxing ride.

I arrived here and noticed the hide for a few metres away, when I retrieved it a huge swarm of giant flying ant like insects came out everywhere. Luckily I had mouth closed.
Thanks 4 B Ninja's for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.
