Found it but sadly was on the ground out in the open with the logs out and ripped up.
Found out in the open a few metres from gz. Log book had been muggled, torn apart and scattered so unfortunately couldn't sign.
Have placed back where I assume it was intended but will require maintenance

Will need to be reviewed, lid is gone, log destroyed and it was completely out in the open. Has been re hidden as best we could
TFTC! This was one of the best hiding spots I've found so far. Super creative, and a medium difficulty rating. Be sure to being something to sign with.
I was in the area so I dropped by this cache for my daily cache and walk. I parked near the Highvale Rd entrance to the park and walked across the park to GZ. The park was very quiet today. As I approached GZ I spotted the obvious hiding spot. I retrieved the cache but as the last finder said it didn't have a lid so there were a lot of creepy crawlies inside and the log had been shredded. I tore a piece of paper from my notebook to use as a log and signed it at 5:00 pm. TNLN. I put the piece of paper and the shredded log in a snap-lock bag that I had with me. I looked around for the lid but couldn't find it but I did find a smaller water bottle lid that I put on the top to keep the insects and dirt out but it probably needs a properly fitting lid. I then rehid the cache as found. I used hand sanitiser before and after finding the cache.
Thanks Team ZACAATT for the cache. I have only done a temporary repair so it is definitely in need of some TLC and a check as to whether it is in the right spot, as the previous finder mentioned in their Needs Maintenance log. After finding the cache I went for a walk around the park and enjoyed the awesome view from up on the ridge.

What a terrific park - fabulous views (as you might expect)!
This was a very easy find - too easy. The container was lying in the open with the log a couple of metres away. As it had just rained the log was soaked so I couldn't sign (I have photos though). As others have noted, the container no longer has a lid.
Given the container was out in the open, I didn't really know where it was meant to be hidden. I put it back just nearby, hidden as well as possible in the circumstances. I don't know if this is right - my GPS was showing GZ as 6 or 7 metres away. It could very much do with a visit from the CO with a new container and a return to its proper home (if I got it wrong).

This cache has lost its lid and the log is bedraggled but I was able to sign my name. Fabulous view from this spot.
Found while out for a ride getting some exercise. What a great park! I'm surprised a place like this still exists in the suburbs with safely fences destroying the view, and what a view it is! I started out on the wrong side of the cliff, but soon found the cache when I switched to the other side. The cache has lost its lid, and the log was sitting next to it, but still dry, so I put it back in the container. TNLNSL, TFTC.
Found @10:45 #7463
Never been here before and didn't expect the rock features. Took a few moments to locate the cache after nearly slipping over twice which would of been quite a show to muggles near by. Cache log is dry but as reported needs a lid. It was a good lot of exercise today perfect for the training. When will lockdown end? Running low on caches now in the 5k.
Day 100 of 366 completed.

Beautiful! We are new seekers and have been coming to the cliff for years so thought it would be a perfect search. Looked high and low and was almost about to give up then had one more look and as others have said it was almost right infront of me in a place you wouldn't first think! Thanks for a great find!
An easy find in a nice park. Rock face is fun to climb up, just be careful. Happy geocaching! \(-w-)/
Awesome park. Paper is a bit damp, might be in need of replacing. Great views
Pro tip: Don’t go when it’s been raining!
It was a bit slippery when looking for the cache but nothing could stop me from finding it! So with a hazardous look around, I found it! Tftc!
Left an eraser.

DNF unfortunately... lovely park, but lots of broken glass and unsuitable footwear deterred me from a thorough search, I’ll be back later on though!
*Found on the 14 Mar 2020 @ 7:11 pm.*
*Cache find # 10831.*
While I was heading for home, I was passing by this one so I stopped for a look.
It was only a short walk over to GZ where I started to look around, now where could it be, oh there it is , not really what I was expecting but that’s it.

Spent ages trying to find it on the rocks. Eventually started getting tired so decided to do some stretches on the rocks... finally saw it right in front of me!! Bit creepy items inside though
Had a bit of a climb, even after reading the hint. Hint was right, I found it while the two muggles taking photos were looking away.
Never visited this park before, despite living over the road from it for a few years. Never even knew it existed. It is sort of hidden away up high.
Cosy place with top views.

Lovely park. Cache has developed mould on the inside, needs to be left in the sun for a bit. TFTC
Out for a walk and to pick up some localish caches on this glorious sunny Melbourne day. As we approached GZ we thought that it was going to take some time to find this cache but as soon as we arrived at GZ Mr Pooky found it in the second place he looked. TFTC and bringing us to this park which we wouldn't have found had it not been for caching. Another localish park we had never visited before. TNLN.
This was an interesting place that the creator chose. From the car park I thought I might need my rock climbing ropes etc. you need good eye sight for this one. Thanks Geonelson51
Fun cache! Made me feel like bear grylls. On our second attempt we found it by looking in places we didn't look before.
Beautiful view. The weather is prefect for me to take a photo. Found your cache today. Team ZACAATT, thank you so much for placing it.
A very quick caching trip with lochb this afternoon, this was a cache location I had visited before but gave up due to muggles. Today we approached from a different direction and I realised I had missed out on the significant topographical feature last time. This took us longer than it should have to locate, we looked high and low (enjoying the short rock scrambling) and eventually I spotted the hiding place - how we didn't spot it earlier I don't know!... TFTC
A nice spot and well worth the visit.
Today the daisies were blooming magnificent and we had a daisy chain necklace challenge.
Geokid proved the winner once again.
Thanks ZACAATT for the placement and the old school fun. fav added

Yep, we went to the wrong level. As soon as we worked out where we should be, the cache was found quickly as it was sitting our for all to see. We tried to conceal it a little after signing. Quite incredible how good the view is. Thanks for the cache.

A quick find once we figured out the right level. Great views.
Cheers Team ZACAATT

Easy find, nice small black cylinder. Great weather and beautiful view of Dandenongs
We found it thanks to the hint! Love the Ken head. No pen inside though so we couldn’t sign it.
What a surprising park with beautiful views on a sunny morning with clearing fog. Quick find of a nice hide. Thanks for the cache and for bringing us to this pretty spot.
Approached from the higher point and the view was magnificent. Spent a while taking it all in and then changed by GPS to compass and was immediately shown a path that I wasn't going to take. Movement around the area was slip sliding along in the wet mud and uncomfortable at times. Would suggest anyone with young children use the Springvale Service Road.

After watching my granddaughter play soccer at Mahoneys Reserve. Very quiet park with no muggles around. Perfect timing to find this cache. Nice view thanks Team ZACAATT for placing the cache

Very well hidden! What a treasure hunt. Don't forget your pen ! Creepy trackable
A quick drive/stroll by this afternoon, while the kids were at maths class.
Hoping to make this a fast find as the day's on again/off again rain was threatening to return, and happily once I reached GZ the cache was found in quite literally the first place I checked.
Signed the log, visited a trackable, thanks for the cache, Team ZACAATT.

Entered from the high side, read the clue and then made my way down. Was getting dark, but the view from the top was great! Once at GZ, looked around for a while before finding this well hidden cache. Log signed, and made the trek back to the top for one more look before returning to the car. TFTC
I'm in Melbourne for a couple of days work this week so this morning I got up early to try to find a few caches before I had to get going. This was the cache I found. Nice spot for it. Interpreted the hint correctly and found the cache after a short search. TFTC, Biggles.
YAPIDKA! Indeed a fab view. Another little gem preserved in the burbs although when I was a kid it was all bush land orchards! TFTC
Didn't have a pen with me tho here's a photo of the log to prove I found it. Left the traceable. TFTC
Quick and easy grab on a Tuesday evening trip. Dropped a bug to continue its journey. Tftc

Found after a great night out with the boys. Escape room followed by a good meal, then a Scotch and a chat.
Physics Teacher and I decided to go grab a sneaky cache on the way home. Thankfully this little cache revealed itself without to much hassle.

Great find! Saw some spiders and a redback but still went on! Got lucky and spotted it straight away. Pretty easy to find and a beautiful place.
What a great place! So happy to have found this one, great views. Cache a little hidden but luck was on our side. TFTC.
Thanks. I walk the dog here most days and today was a little more fun than most. I needed the hint
Coming home after a fine Christmas lunch at a friend's house, I called in and grabbed this one. tftc.
After grabbing some others tonight headed home but not before grabbing this one on the way home. Thanks for bringing us here.
A quick find on the way through tonight. Remember coming to this park many years ago to find a cache. Thanks for bringing me back. TFTC
Took Geopuppy and Geohubby with me to grab this cache. We looked high,we looked low, we looked lost and nearly gave up. Had to take a break as a flock of mini muggles came upon us. This was the best thing to happen as I had the aha moment while they rolled around fuzz ball. Once they left I soon had the log signed and the cache safely back in place. Geopuppy was glad of the extra pats and new little friends.
It was a beautiful day for geocaching. After an Alpha meeting, we decided to go geocaching. Found in the company of David Nessie and first time geocaching Mighty Chris. TFTC.
The Dandenong Creek valley and the Dandenong Ranges are certainly all in view. Thanks Team ZACAATT.
A chilly morning, with clear blue skies. A few muggles in the park but they had disappeared by the time we arrived at GZ. We managed to approach from the wrong direction but soon were able to start a search. GPS was a little vague initially and it took a few minutes to locate the container. TFTC
