Since the owner of the cache hasn't contacted me, I'm reluctantly archiving this cache. If the owner wants to reinstate this cache, they should contact the reviewer that first published the cache.

Hi guys,

Any updates on this one?

Cheers,

Rob

Log is soaked and fell apart when retrieving it. Container is broken as well. Things will be renewed and replaced over holiday break.

I have made many visits thus far. It always seemed that the local residents where in the front yard working out walking out to go who knows where or the local kids were playing in the drain. After a bit of discusion at a resent event I came again with a few clues in mind.
Well I finally located the cache container. It was partly in bits on the ground. I had tools on hand so reasembled what I could. It looks as if persons have been trying to remove it in not the intended way as I also did at first. I found the lid and removed it and partly removed the logbook useing more force than I think ideal. The log book started to disintergrate. I returned it to its container at that point rather than totaly wrecking it. It looks as if water may have entered the container and helped jam it in. I think a maintanace visit is in order. I will return when the cache is in order and log a find then.

Found at 1840. Found this log after a 5-10 mins in a nice niche. Only problem was the cache is pushed up and completely wedged. Could not remove it with the tools I had, so maybe the next cacher can.

TFTC.

Pickupfamily Dad searched for 15 mins finishing at 1615hrs. The schoolkids coming home from school were starting to annoy me. Thanks anyway Scooters Mob.

Passing by thought i would have a quick look but didn't have a close enough one. Now i a pretty sure where it it i will go back some day.

We pulled up here where Diane spotted the cache location straight away but unfortunately we didn't search there well enough. After a bit more of a search of the area we returned to the original location and bingo there was the cache.
Thanks Scooters Mob for a well done first cache

Found by edmil & maddie. Neat hide. GPS had us right at the spot. Powers of observation in top shape today and located the cache position in record time. Extraction was another matter. However after purchasing some lunch we returned and extracted, completed and returned log to cache. Thanks for the cache. Interestingly I used to rent a house just around the corner from the cache.

Found by the Swaggies @ 0900 hrs this morning. Swaggie2 was alert enough to divert our attention to where we should be looking. And we came prepared.

This is a great cache, found it pretty easily as I had done a similar one yesterday, Then had to go back to the car to find something to remove the log. Eventually completed.

Thanks

Found today with Oenze on our way to Warburton. I found this one after 5 mins of scanning mostly the wrong private property. After that it was up to Oenze and his bootload of tricks to do the rest. Love your work Scooters Mob!

Find # 1554 and the 7th of the day at 8:46am . Accompanied by Feathertop to Warburton and beyond. We found the cache OK but it was hard to open and retrieve the log sheet, lucky I always bring my tools in the car wich made things a bit easier, clever hide. TNLN, Signed Log, Thanx Scooters Mob....

WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING muggle alert!
Whilst trying to get this cache today I was confronted by a not so happy drunken muggle.
Who told me that he was sick of People with their GPS hanging around his house.

I might leave this one for a while!

After failing last week to extract the log, I had more success this time. Thanks for a well hidden cache.

Found your well hidden cache today well placed in an area of many probable hide spots for a micro.Lots of houses around but the good thing is there are none facing the cache area.Thanks to Scooters Mob.

Well, I found it, eventually, but couldn't extract the log, so I am writing this as a note until I can return and write in the log.

I looked around, and found what I thought must be the cache, but was unable to budge it. I continued looking but later, when I failed to find anything else, I called DAK to confirm whether it WAS the cache. This he did, and after a trip back to my car for some basic equipment, I was able open the cache.

Unfortunately, this is as far as I was able to go, so I will need to return with some more specialized equipment. Thanks for the log and, I shall return.

Found @ 7:30am as trying to boost my cache finds.
Got to GZ and remembered a clue that a friend gave me.
Cache was a little tight to extract but my fat fingers finally proved they were up for the challenge.
Thanks Scooters Mob. Excellent hide.

Found 15:00, CSI=1, TNLN, thanks Scooters Mob.

Took several minutes of wandering around, looking, looking... and then something caught my eye. A well done hide this one - full marks. I did need a little something for extraction and fortunately had same in the car. Future seekers will do well to be equipped. Thanks Scooters Mob for a great hide.

Found at 13:20 by Peter, Marian & Lorna (Geo Ma-inlaw) a beautiful hide this was my second visit, did not spend enough time on the first visit to focus on the task. TFTC.

Looks like I need to get a more accurate GPS before I plant any more caches [B)]

Finally, finally! Found this on my 4th attempt. I brought my brother-in-law (Skyfox) along, and his eagle eye spotted the concealed device. I don't think I ever would have found it on my own. It's a good bike ride through here though so I didn't mind doing it 3 times. Thanks Scooters Mob, but I'm very glad I can cross this off my list - it's been bugging me as my closest unfound cache for a few weeks.

G'day to the Scooters Mob,

Our 4th Scooters Mob cache was the 1st of 17 on our Northern Suburbs Sortee. Finding the cache took a few minutes but getting into it took twice as long thanks to Muscles McPrass work a couple of weeks ago . Luckily, an item from the car assisted greatly. Nice work in setting this one up. Thanks for the cache.

Kind Regards,

D,H & A B-A

Found at 7.05pm GAFF4. Could have been a GAFF1, but I just didn't try hard enough if you know what I mean. A great hide. Thanks Scooters.

Found by Mary & David at 1210. Very clever indeed. Glad we are familiar with this hiding technique. Once at GZ, we ignored the coordinates and began looking around. Quickly spotted the thing that was 'not needed'. The scroll was hard to reach, but we had a suitable tool to aid in extraction. Our thanks to Scooters Mob.

Fourth of five finds on a quiet day in the East. I'm glad I'm not an FTF fiend--it means that others do the beta testing before I get there. I found this clever cache at 1315--nice hide, in fact, very well done, but in a nothing location, unfortunately. I agree with Geodes, the advertised coordinates had me about five metres South of where I found the cache. I used Acts2YG's coordinates to find it. I made no exchange. Thanks to Scooters Mob for the cache.

Excellent hide - the coords seemed spot on. Agree with Geodes, experienced cachers should be ok finding this one if you are having a good day Thanks Scooters, and well done on your ingenuity.

Found by Bob at 1415

I managed to get to this one today while on a quick trip to the shops. I found it quite quickly, and I'd guess most of the more experienced cachers won't have too much trouble - but that's not to take anything away from what is a most excellent and skilfully designed, constructed and executed hide . The only minor quibble I'd have is that such a great piece of work is a bit wasted on a spot that really doesn't have much else to recommend it. I was using the posted (updated) coords, and my GPSr was showing GZ to be 5-6m south, so I'd say a2yg's coords are probably pretty accurate.

Thnaks again Scooter's Mob - it's nice to see a cache with a difference .

Rated: for Overall Experience

Beta Tested the Cache and helped Scooters Mob with co-ords. Seems night readings aren't as accurate for some reason! I did sign log but left a space for the first time finder - well done Acts2YouthGroup, you were indeed the first time find.

Looks like another cache Beta tested, I also got bailed up by the guy in the house and had to explain geocaching to him. I left and came back five hours later after a phone call to the owner. The cache was a nice easy find once I was at the correct GZ. I was not the first to log this but I sure am claiming the FTF. The coordinates were 32m off. I have taken a reading and have attached it to my log.

Thanks for the cache

Something wrong here. GZ is on private property. You can get to within about 10m, but it's a junkyard on a private lot to be developed for units. The guy in the property up the back isn't too pleased with all the geocachers searching around his front yard. I think the co-ords must be wrong.

I checked these coordinats three times before I registered the cache and they appeared to be correct. I even had someone else check them for me and he agreed with me, BUT when I look on Google earth and on the "Land Victoria" WEB site they are indeed a little of and point to the front yard of the place next door. OOPS
