A Chill Breeze blowing out here today.
Sometimes it looks as though a cache hasn't been found for a couple of years...
until you read the log book...
Thanks for the multicache.

After finding GA6694 it was off to the creative arts end of Research to hopefully find the second GA multi. We pulled up infront of the theatre building next to the library and not the impressive number of performances listed for the latter half of the year. Then it was time to collect the data needed to locate the end point for this cache.
We had noticed the sculpture as we arrived yesterday and enjoyed finding out about its origins. The data collected and calculations made and it was a quick trip to GZ where the cache was soon found. Contents and container were in good condition.
Thanks for this cache TeamGeoPlesk. We enjoyed finding out about this sculpture.

We are currently touring Victoria with our geovan in tow, using geocaching as a guide. We have visited many amazing locations through geocaching and your cache - The Breeze - was one we found along the way. Gathered the required info and soon had cords for GZ.
Many thanks TeamGeoPlesk for publishing this cache for our enjoyment and adding to our geocaching experience. A quick find at GZ - cache and contents in good condition.

As part of May-ntenance Month I visited this cache today. The cache was in good condition and the log is dry.
After my awful day of not finding many caches yesterday, I was pleased to have this one be a straight forward find first thing this afternoon, at 12.29pm
For the past 2 year I have set myself a challenge of completing Multi March, or a multi cache for every day of March. This year I haven't prepared at all and feel like it might be a bit of a tough battle. I had the idea of finding a heap of caches yesterday, since it was meant to be cooler than today, but that turned out to be a disaster. Today, even though it was a little warmer, I was able to find more caches.

I have been saving up this cache so that I could find it today (Leap Day). A much easier find than I first thought. It's always hard to know what people class as a 'short walk'. Thanks TeamGeoPlesk

Picked this cache as my GA cache for this very auspicious date. Took note of the information needed off the plaque. After coming up with the needed coordinates took the short walk for an easy find.

Out for an afternoon of caching with lochb (a non-GCAer) and G' of GJMMelb, gathering information at the start of a Wherigo through Eltham, I could see a multi close by - but they couldn't... It soon became clear that it was a GCA cache - but I'm happy with either "brand" and as it turned out almost two years of unlovedness too. Despite this, that cache was in good condition and a bonus find for me to start the day.
A day off and a bit of free time so I'm off to earn some dragonzone points. A nice multi with easy info and maths and a nice quick find at gz.
Thanks for the cache. I always love public art.

Three days cooped up at home with a sick child and torrential downpours last night (67mm at Essendon Airport) stopped even the suggestion of any caching. I was going to go stir crazy if I didn't get out today.
A quick multi on the way through to Warrandyte... the only delay was waiting for the drivers who'd decided to meet outside the theatre at exactly the time I was reading the plaque to clear off. After that, the cache was where I'd expected. A neat hide, and a fun stop at an interesting sculpture.
Thanks, again, TeamGeoPlesk.

Popped out at lunchtime for a look for this one and it ended up being a nice quick find at 13:20 from the second or third place I looked.
I remember stopping here on a bike ride around the area several years ago. We even took a group pickie from the sculpture . Gosh !!
TNLNSL. Thanks TeamGeoPlesk.

08/08/2011 22:18 Found: #593 The description says this a quick multi. It was indeed, the quickest I have ever done! There was a fair bit of passing traffic but not enough to bother me. The co-ords seemed a little off, but that was probably the bad weather. There was only a couple of places it could have been and a quick look at the first place showed that it had to be at the next location. Put my hand in one place, then the 2nd and 'aha' there it was! This one went back to the car with me for signing and luckily I had the light off inside as some local traffic went by. An easy cache to find and access, even on this cold damp evening!

Thanks for that; it was good to stop at a feature I pass almost on a daily basis and have a close look.

Found this cache today, with Almost_there. Clever little cache. It's funny i've been driving past this sculpture everyday to go to school and never noticed it!
Rated: for Overall Experience
Found with Been_there. Also introduced the brother to geo-caching. He is going home to Broken Hill to find what is available there. This was our second attempt on this one - last time we had to give up because of a muggle sitting at his desk looking out at us from the building opposite. Work days are probably not the best day for this one.

Gee I was almost on top of this cache while I worked out the coords for GZ. In the spirit of "but is it art" I had often wondered about this sculpture as I drove past. Thanks again TeamGeoPlesk.

I've driven past here many times and my god! Has it changed since I was a kid.
A quick, easy find as advertised. Just the thing with the young daughter in tow. We then had a toddle around the small reserve then off to lunch.
Cheers, TeamGeoPlesk. May you continue to put more caches around here.

It was nice and quiet here this afternoon, and I had no trouble getting the info from the plaque and calculating a likely-looking GZ. The cache was a quick find soon after, although I had to wait for suitable breaks in traffic to retrieve and replace the container.
Thanks again Team GeoPlesk - it's a really lovely area for caching, with lots of interesting artefacts and heaps of obscure little roads and tracks heading into hidden places.

We parked in the ELT car park and the location of the clue was readily apparent, so Geoson took off to get the details. I found a place to do the computations, but Geoson took off to investigate a suspicious pile of stick. I found the cache!
Thanks TeamGeoPlex - Nicely done.

Grabbed FTF on this one at 11:30. I have been to ELT a few times when I used to live in Greensborough. Great to have a GCA FTF and also it was my first find of GCA caches. Gave up on the other FTF nearby. Will revisit soon to hopefully get to log another GCA find.
Thanks heaps for the Cache!

Hey, I've been here before. Not for a cache, but my wife occassionally directs at ELT and so I've parked in this carpark quite a few times over the years.
The clues were easy (thank goodness) and the cache was revealed in very short time.
Beaten to the FTF though. Hey, I didn't know other people found GCA caches. I thought it was just me.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks TeamGeoPlesk for this cache experience today. Beaten to FTF by about an hour, but happy to put another GCA cache on my found list.
