The Ashes Doncaster East, Victoria, Australia

As there has been no response to my note I am archiving this listing.

If you eventually decide to replace or repair it, let me know and, if it meets the guidelines, I'll unarchive it.

Cache maintenance is an essential part of owning a geocache, this one has an unactioned "Needs maintenance" log for 12 months, and multiple DNF logs.

Please decide what you're planning to do with it and post an appropriate note within a week.

i should have read the notes before attempting this one, it is missing so dont bother until you have read otherwise.

Someone will need to replace if they want to continue with this as active.

Please archive.

Definitely missing.

Agh, I should check the logs before doing these.

Came, hunted and left. Looks like this cache has gone missing...

went out for a try at some cache in melbourne. A recent cleanup was evident and no cache in sight.

Pretty sure this one is now non existent.... Found 10 of Diamonds, 8 of clubs and 5 of spades cards with owners details along with a few other items from the cache; including J-G cache card and blue whale... It appears the container has been looted and destroyed.....
A replacement or archiving is required here..... TFTC!!!!!

Arrived early on New Years day only to find muggles have been around. Found container lying about and log book some metres away. Will need to be replaced.

Arrived at park, while 3yo does his usual "are we going to the park?"..."yes, we are, just for a minute, and then we're going to a BETTER park!"
Grabbed cache and signed log. Mr had a go at the slide.
Thanks for the cache.

Nice and quiet little spot. Saw some lovely big friendly cockatoos. Enjoyed the clue.

Came here after lunch at one of the nearby establishments to let the kids stretch their legs.... Mrs Happy Chappy actually lived less than 100m from here while I was courting her, so nice to find a cache here.

All quiet today, something must be on! quick grab and I was on my way. Thanks for the cache. ZZ7

Nice easy find today with caughtatwork.
One of the neighbours was pruning his trees alongside the boundary fence here, but we managed to keep our activities hidden behind some thick foilage. Cache was nice and dry.
No swaps today. Thanks for the cache.

Found by caughtatwork at 12.16
Another nice easy cache today find by The Yenorom Rangers. This one was spotted by The Mini Mob in the most obvious place.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks again for this cache experience today.

Found on a very warm sunday afternoon without much trouble. Thanks Yenorom Rangers

Found @ 0925.

Nice easy find, it was peeking out. TNLN.

Finally found this one after my second attempt. I am sure that I looked here last time.

Was a little off being straight down the wicket, but pretty easy to find.

[nice cache tnln]

more like to the left shoulder of a an offspinner

GPS was playing up a bit here. After eliminating all the spots where the cache would be washed away, it didn't take much searching to find it.

TFTC

Very easy bit of finding, a friend spotted it! Love it!

12.20pm. Quick find with nobody in the park.
We also covered the cache again a little better.

Cheers M+S [:O)] (958)

Fifth find on my afternoon's round.

A nice easy find, I think the cover was a bit scarce. Logged the find and returned the cache with slightly more cover than before. TFTC

First find on the start of a weekend of caching in the northeast. Not exactly where it looks like it should be. A muggle has logged it and returned it, so it may need some camo. TNLNSL.
Thanks The Yenorom Rangers,
Roostaman.

Found at 0730. A nice easy find in the rain.

TNLN. TFTC.

Found the obvious location but the container is missing

could not find cache but think is missing

easy find tftc

We approached this one from a small street behind the park. A short walk up and around the corner was a cricket pitch - how did they fit that in here?
The cache was hidden in a good position for us not to be seen.
Thanks, Robmc.

Perfect day for caching.

10th of 15 for the day.

The last of the Yenorom Rangers caches for us today, and another quick find.
Thanks for the cache,
Regards Mr.Coffee and the "Go Aussies" Clan.

Well bowled one down the pitch and went to long off to retrieve the cache. Nice little park. Thanks.

9.30am
Another pretty, although hilly playground. We don’t mind these so much when the hide is well away from the equipment.
In: Mondo Figurine.
Out: Line Level.
Thanks once more The Yenorom Rangers.
Romax.

A nice cache and hide set in a great little park. The kids enjoyed the equipment whilst i found the cache. I just hope England did pratice here so we will be better next time we play you

Out - TB

Excellent place and we had a play but didn't find The Ashes. We did however find the cache and took out the slinky, replacing it with a Kangaroo Isle teaspoon, ideal for an overseas traveller. Loved the spot and the geo-kids had a great play on the local playground equipment. TFTC.

Count #0208 found at 1350hrs.

Easy find and it was one streneous one too. Good thing the muggles nearby were leaving when I got there.

TNLNSL, TFTC

Found by edmil & maddie. This was our first of 14 for the day. Had no problem locating the cache and the Area was muggle free. Took nothing but dropped of Quebec TB. Thanks for the cache.

I went for 6, got 4 but the umpie felt sorry for me and gave me the extra points! Woohoo!Cool cache

Found @ 11:15 With No1 Son TNLNSL

Found pretty quickly. No cricket today.
Thanks Yenorom Rangers. TNLNSL

Geoson found this one before I had even decided that we were at GZ. He is getting an eye for the sorts of hiding places to look for.

There were two soccer-playing muggles but using the available cover we were able to retrieve and replace the cache undetected.

Took: keyring, coins
Left: cyclometer, different keyring

'6!!!' Run Run!!! Grab! Write! Hide quick! No run out this time.

After waiting for a muggle with his muggle hound to get out of sight i soon retreived the cache & signed the log before you could bat an eye lid never mind bat a six

A quick find by Red1 had us on our way out of this cosy neighbourhood.

6th of 7 finds for the day, and the most problematic. Found the cache no worries but a mother with about 10 children had decided to have a picnic about 5m from the cache site so some stealth was required. TNLN. Thanks.

Found @ 16:20. 2nd of 4 in the area found on the way home from work. Another quick one. Thanks. TNLNSL

Found @ 2:20pm Another nice little park we didn't know was there, it took us for six (about six minutes to find)
TNLNSL TFTC

The last of 4 Templestowe area finds on a sunny Sunday morning. Stealth was required to retrieve and replace the cache due to the kids at the playground, but they were too busy having fun riding their skateboard down the slide to really notice what we were doing.
T: Headphones, bubble mix
L: 2 mechanical pencils, 2 coloured pens.
Thanks to the Yenorom Rangers.

Found this at 12:50 on the way home from a bike fixing exercise. It took a little while but once I trusted Geko, I had the well hidden cache in hand.

TNLNSL. Thanks The Yenorom Rangers.

Found by Mary & David at 1555. Yes, the Ashes series was incredibly exciting and enjoyable. Let's not mention the One Day series though. Took Euro 20c coin, left AFL Football coin. Also dropped off "Chililabombwe, Zambia" Unite for Diabetes TB. Our thanks again to The Yenorom Rangers.

Found with the help of a first-time cacher. Took the nose and left a new headphone+microphone headset that I didn't need. Thanks for the cache

I think you over-estimated the length of the hit over the bowler's head. I took a French Lady and left a Nose.

12:36 was found with geo-wife. T: US$1M note + €10 cents L: 2 x Golfballs SL TFTC

Found 200702141230 . Maybe the Poms trained here to rekindle their one-day form [?]. Whatever, I found the cache easily.

TNLN

Cheers Yenorom Rangers

Looks like the pom's took your advice and did a bit of extra training here, we may have won the ashes but we would like to forget the one day series. No one around in this interesting little park on a warm but drizzly afternoon and the cache was soon found
Left mondo figurine
Took car
Thanks the Yenoram Rangers

This was the last for the morning but were slowed down when we found that one of the trusty two wheelers had sprung a leak. It seemed to be quite a slow leak so some pumping got us underway again and we reached the sporting arena without mishap. The cache was recovered at 12:10am after we figured where the grandstand had to be. This was LinearZZ's 200th find [^]. Took Tennis Ball (for midgets) keyring and left a Geelong FC keyring (Carn the Cats). Thanks Yenorom Rangers for a memorable occasion. Back to the car park, approx 12 km round trip in 2.5 hours.

Found by Bob at 1015

After doing the nearby Duck'n Dive, it was only a short ride to this one. The park was deserted this morning, so I had no trouble locating the cache (the Poms are scheduled to be beaten by NZ at the WACA today). Another nice little park in a nice suburb .

TNLN

Thanks again Yenorom Rangers

A lovely little park and a well hidden and well stocked cache.

Thanks,

R - B

Greetings from 10 000km away in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan CANADA! We hope that the next perosn who moves our TB _ FroggerBW could add a photo or 2. His Australian travels have been great, but continue to go undocumented. Thanks so much.

I think Tom Tom took me to this park via a less popular route. As I walked up the path, I spotted a likely spot and, sure enough, it was there. Thanks for the cache.

Could have been a problem if the ashes were in progress but they wern't so an easy find. The wicket keeper was still there and a bit wooden though.
Dropped off a TB here that I brought back from Canberra
Many thanks

15th find at 3:18pm for the Australia day out caching accompanied by Feathertop and Chewinprickles. There was no one about which made the search for this cache a bit easyer. TNLN, Signed Log. Thanx to The Yenorom Rangers....

A nice little community park. Found the cache in its nice hideaway without much trouble and T golfball, left car. Thanks again the Yenorom Rangers.

Found 12.15pm GAFF1. A quick find and then a look around the park revealed no english cricketers practicing! Thanks The Yenorom Rangers Took: Lizard, Left: White love band.

Found 15:45, a nice easy find in a great little park.

TNLN, thanks to The Yenorom Rangers.

G'day Yenorom Rangers,

I found your cache today at 5:30pm as the tenth of twelve on my "Cirque de Suburbs" Tour. Another eay pick up. Very nice at this time of the day, as it has been a long day at the coal face. Thanks for our 1st Yenorom Rangers cache.

Regards,

D B-A

Found at about 11am right where expected. Not a soul around anywhere!
Left Commando pin, took soldier.
Thanks.

Fifteenth of sixteen finds in company with acts2youthgroup. We made our way to GZ, and fortunately, there were no mini-muggles at the playground. We had a quick find at 1715. Thanks to Yenorom Rangers for the cache. Cheers, dak.

IN: Toy car
OUT: Bouncy ball

Sixteenth of nineteen cache finds for the day, I did this one in company with Dak. Dak had been to Mt Gambier and I had been to Canberra so it seems like along time between caches for us as a team so it was good to be out caching together once again. No one around, must have been the heat. A nice quick find at 17:15. Thanks for the cache.
In:Several Geocoins.

Another find for The Rebel Alliance. L.L.T.R.A

Found your cache today well hidden in the appointed position.There was no cricket activity today on the pitch,but really you could play a full game with 3 or 4 players.No "gilly" wicketkeeper needed as the built-in one is automatic and wouldnt take much of a hit for a four ,in fact anything past the bowler would be an easy 4.There must have been a few brken roof tiles here over the years.Nice place and good positioning of the cache.Thanks to The Yenorom Rangers.TNLN.

A nice little pitch that was all deserted at 7am on a smoky morning. Easy find too which helps TNLN
Thanks Yenorom rangers

Found at lunchtime at 1:20pm after a quick walk in the park. Lucky Adam Gilchrist doesn't play here or there would be a few lost balls and some grumpy neighbours!

Took 2 Hong Kong coins & TB TTTTB
Left several Eurocent coins
thanks Yenorom Rangers

Last find for the day, and find number 40!! Reluctant spouse is very impressed by the views around this area.

TNLN.

Thanks, Yenorom Rangers!

Swaped TB Donkey Kong for TB TTTTB because needed to trade ASAP

10:10pm Hello, Yenorom Rangers thanks for organising the Event Cache this evening. *FTF* Solomonfamily a minute or 2 in front of the Pickupfamily followed a couple of minutes later by LuckDogsCrew - all of us arriving from different directions. Congratulations Pickupfamily on your anniversary and I am sure your other milestone will be yours very soon now. It was great having a chat with you all on this very pleasant evening. An easy find TNLN. Thanks.

Found by Pickupfamily Dad 2020hrs, 5 minutes behind the King of the Solomonfamily who was signing the log when I arrived. I was hoping to bag my 50th FTF, but in fact it was much more fun meeting up with King Solomon, joined shortly by LuckDogsCrew. Nice to meet you! And keep up the work, it's great to have the competition.

Well done on your first cache Yenorom Rangers, and thank you. TNLN.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Yes it was quite a caching event that we had - I wonder if the neighbours were a little suspicious of 4 people in a park at 10:30 on a Friday night, under the light of torches... As we're new to this game, it was nice to meet some fellow cachers.

Well went with the Yenorom Rangers to help them set up their first caches. So logged the cache as we placed it. In Happy Bubbles. TFTC
