Archived because cache never replaced where it was hidden

May have been muggled. Disabled until I can treplace it. Byker

No luck today could have been rehidden too well by previous finder. Will watch for now.

Had a good look around but could not find the cache.
Probably just a case of geocaching blindness...

Found your cache Byker, thank you so much for placing it.

Found it with crank1 TFTC

Now that cafés are open and we can travel up to 25 km without a reason we decided to have lunch and buy a few plants at our favourite nursery/café in Montrose. After lunch we decided to find our first cache for a long time and this cache was near where we ate lunch.

There were no cars in the carpark or anybody on the nearby oval so we parked in the closest spot and walked the short distance to GZ. As we approached GZ we spotted the cache as it was partially exposed and glistening in the sunshine. There were plenty of spider webs but luckily there were none on the cache or we would have screamed. We signed the log at 3:25 pm and then rehid the cache as found. TNLN. We used hand sanitiser before and after finding the cache to stay safe.

Thanks Byker for the well hidden cache. On our way back to our car we did see plenty of coffee grounds. It's a shame they don't break it up a bit and water it down so it is absorbed into the soil.

First find for today. Ella and Jake 12/9/20

Thanks good hide! We added a lego person.

Again with the newbies! This one was in a great spot and has cemented the addiction to geo! TFTC

Very cleverly hidden! Tftc found with em, miles and james

Clever hide, found with Jadeski! Tftc

Second time trying to find this one. Don't know how we didn't find the first time. Thanks

Found it after a little search, I was looking for the wrong coloured eclipse mints container!

Gound it

found it spiders

Very sneaky!!

Found it

A sneaky one

Wow that was a very sneaky hiding spot indeed and the hints were on point.

quick and easy find

Had a good look around for this one. Found it but so many cob webs....I was to chicken to retrieve

TFTC !

After spending 20min last week, brought the littlen's today and found it in 15 seconds. This one was mint. Thanks Byker.

Thank you. My children enjoyed this hunt.

I visited 2 times and finally found it! The sneaky sucker! Thank yiu

Found

Amazing

Fun

Found with JKP and Byker on my birthday trip home. TFTC xx

Found with LawtonCat.
Also found a 3 cm Ant was quite surprised as the uk Ants are tiny.

What a find, looked their first didn't see it and eventually we found it in the first place we looked. Thanks

Out for a walk and to pick up some caches to fill another day on the caching calendar. While there was a twilight junior cricket match on the other oval they were nowhere near here. After doing the nearby "game set & maze" cache we headed to this one . It was Mrs Pooky who made a relatively quick easy find. TFTC and bringing us to this park.

Easy find

With no one around it was an easy find in the first place that Iooked.

I initially set out to find the game, set and maze cache, but figured it was too deep in the bush and didn't want to raise suspicion on such a hot morning. It ended up being just another short walk and a quick find for a cache closer to the road and car. tftc

While the cricketers went for a cuppa l snuck in and found this cache signed and replaced...TFTC

Last time a DNF but today happy to say its found and logged the find after a short hunt. Tftc

Nice walk around the ovals ! Easy finds

Tnln

Good one

Out for a drive, we stopped for a few caches in Montrose. This one was missing last time I passed by. Today it was a quick find. Thanks Byker.

Easy find
Well hidden

The kids enjoyed finding this cache while watching their Dad play cricket. A great way to break up the day, thanks!

Suscoe was heading homewards today after a delightful few days in the Dandenongs.
It was a pleasant day again with some cloudy skies and a few glimpses of sunshine here and there.
We headed out of the Dandenongs by the northward road and then spent our time caching around Montrose, Kilsyth and Croydon beforeheading home mid afternoon.
It certainly was interesting seeing the Dandenongs from this side and it closed off a wonderful couple of days in a fitting manner.

Thanks to Byker for this hide, the park was very quiet today.

Cool find

been past this park many times but the coffee van usually there so have never stiopped but was gone fro the day so a quick find.

Bit tricky, look higher

Nice day for a search Found this one but it wasn't per description TFTC

Lovely find with Fitzelfleas and geochild

Quick find on a soggy, muddy day! Log in great condition but hiding spot possibly a bit precarious. Thanks!

We are certainly starting to exhaust the easily accessible caches that are close to home. Hope they don't have a longer streak challenge as we will be in trouble. Thanks for the cache.

This was a nice quick find for day 3 of the 7 day streak challenge. The things we do for a virtual souvenir, lol. Thanks for the cache.

Last of 5 this morning as we near the end of the museum series. A couple of laps of the likely hides before eventually finding. Tftc

Have lived in the area for over 15 years and never stopped to look around this park before. Thank you for the experience.

The hide is not a particular robust. The cache may need to be relocated in the future.

TNLN, T4TC.

Cheers
Rick

Great hide, tftc

Quick easy find TFTC

Not to hard on a cold day

We found this cache today at 1:25pm as number 12 of 17 on our Montrose of Any Other Name Tour. Our fourth cache find in this park. Woof indeed. Thanks from D $ HA B-A.

Out for a Saturday morning cache and thought this reserve would be safe given its school holidays. Quick find here while the geodog has a run on the pitch. Tftc

Found it. Loved our three finds here this afternoon

Found it on the ground and put it back in the tree with a little bit of camouflage but I’m not sure if I’ve placed in the correct spot

Only saw it because the sun reflecting off of the container bit me in the eye. TFTC

Fixed. Replacement cache in play.

I think this has been muggled. I will double check and re-hide if necessary. Byker

Out and about with echidna44 in this lovely area. Thought we would check out the trio here. This was our last for the night and had to finish off on a no find. Phoned a friend and continued to look where we had been again. Still no joy. Love your area Byker

Out this afternoon collecting some caches along Swansea Road in the gloomy conditions. This was a quick find, TFTC

I had completed the Mother's Day Classic run up at Lilydale Lake and decided to do a spot of caching on the way back home. Having seen the area was not in use, I stopped for a look for the handful of caches in this reserve. This was the first one and thankfully an easy find though not quite where I was expecting it. TFTC

Found it

Yay

Found after a brief search. All in good condition. TFTC

Great find!!

After looking down we looked up haha good spot thanks

Barking mad indeed - our furry one loved the area

Fitting name for this one nice easy find TFTC

Nice easy find. Thanks for the cache, Byker.

Found on 31 Mar 2019 at 1:40 pm.
The weather was absolutely terrible yesterday and not much better today. Constant showers but I headed out anyway for a few hours. The good thing about the cold and showers ... no muggles made for pretty uninterrupted searches pretty much everywhere. That made up for the bad weather.

I parked in the main park and did all four caches in here today, only saw one dog walker the whole time.
After the last cache had replaced it I looked around for a couple of minutes and then eventually spotted it.
Thanks Byker for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

Found. Cache was just laying on the ground so guessing it wasn’t in its proper hiding spot. Have hidden again but not sure if it’s where it originally would’ve been hidden so you may want to check/rehide. TFTC.

We were close to giving UP

Found after a couple mins of looking! Tftc

2 out of 2 dnf for bykers caches today. Does not make for an enjoyable day caching. Thought would be a quick find before school pickup. Will keep an eye out as tried every (I thought) conceivable place but no luck today. Will keep an eye on this one see if any other people have any luck

Noted GPS very bouncy at this cache

Little adventures close to home. Have never stopped at this spot before. 12 magpielarks all feeding on the ground. Do not recall seeing such a gathering before.signed log thanks for the hide.

I didn't have to wonder around long to find this one thanks for great hide

Got it thanks

Found with OzHockeyChick while caching in the area. A quick wee find. Tftc

Parked in the shade on this scorching hot day. Wandered over to find the cache.
Cheers Byker

Found it straight away

Found with ginger Bill 101 and Joe Kidd lovely Park here will have to come back so the kids can have a run around

A nice one to start us off. Geogirl and I beat the boys so now the challenge is set...

Well hidden

Quick find. TFTC

Found

We ventured into this park for a few caches after enjoying a Christmas lunch not far away. I then did the other two traditional caches in this reserve before getting permission from the Driver to find this one before heading home. I found the cache on the ground with no camouflage or any covering. I placed more carefully hidden than I found it and was pleased to be able to record the find and bringing us to this lovely, bush surrounded location.

Nice find near home. tftc.
