Due to cache constantly disappearing, the area being strewn with rubbish, used syringes, and empty alcohol containers, I am now going to permanently put this cache out of order.
Thank you.
 
18-May-11
Will either archive this or find a better hiding place where they don't chop down the trees!
 
16-May-11
Tree where cache was hidden has been chopped down so box was in the open. We badly hid one meter away under a rock but contents soaked and possibly needs relocation and maintaining.

First find for the day on another caching day out with our friends vicbrady bunch and corza1993. Inside the cache was wet because the lid had popped off due to the cache being overloaded. Managed to rearange the contents so that the lid went back on more securely. TNLN, TFTC.

We searched for a good 15 minutes everywhere the clue suggested but with no luck. Hope it's still there.

No-one here either. It must be our lucky day. I guess being a Wednesday does have some bearing on the lack of muggles in the area. SL. TNLN. TFTC

A nice hide for the kids to find, we thought it was rubbish at first but were rewarded by the cache!

Nothing difficult about this cache.

This was a nice quick easy find but the pen doesn't work so had run back to the car and grab it without anyone seeing what I was up to

This was our teams 1st find new to geocaching

Found by - H - and The Empire
24th of September, 2009
New to the official world of caching but have been involved since 17th of April 2009 (my first cache find). But have only just gotten a log name. Time to log all the wonderful caches that I have been finding since I have been caching with The Empire. My name in the log book is H.
This was my third big caching day with The Empire. By this point, I had sort of developed an eye for spotting caching.
Found by me! Very happy face Very Happy

Interesting to learn about the ashes history and its link to Sunbury - we're from north so always enjoy history lessons of this nature. Fortunately there were no muggles amongst the bushes today, Dad knelt on GZ but the Queen made the find. TNLNSL. TFTC
 
18-Jul-09
Found quickly by D who had gone into competitive mode. We wondered what all the racket was nearby, and saw hundreds of cockatoos take to the skies in their noisy way. It was quite a sight. TFTC.
 
05-Jul-09
Yay! Our 800th find. We didn’t know which cache this was going to be, as we were being selecting caches at random from our GPS. As it so happened, “A ‘Googly’ search†turned out to be our milestone cache! After the find, we posed with the cache, taking a group photo to mark this special occasion. Thank you Blatherskite for setting up this cache and for helping us make this milestone find.
 
04-Jul-09
Found at 2.25pm GAFF1 on our "Catch up with Sunbury and Melton" weekend in the company of Ian&Penny.
A quick find as we were passing by. There was no way that we were going to play any form of cricket today with the wind and drizzling rain - we thought we were tougher than those cricketers that pull up stumps at the first sign of rain and here we were battling through all of today's elements to find plastic boxes!

Thanks Team Blatherskite.

Find # 120 @ 14:30 on a very bleak and wet arvo. Missed this one at first but a thorough search made good. TNLNSL TFTC

Found this cache on our Victorian Invasion trip with Steeba and The Rats. This was a find that had us scratching around in the torchlight for a while until we found the cache. I hadn't realised thee relevance of the cache name until just now as well.

Thanks Blatherskite for the cache.

Located at 15:40hrs by 5 yr old geodaughter who is getting hard to beat when it comes to finding the treasure!! TNLNSL. Thanks for the find.
 
17-May-09
The geopups enjoyed looking for this one, Contents quite damp.
 
13-May-09
This one took quite a bit of time to locate. It was around sunset, and while there was still light in the sky, it was starting to get dim. After a bit of prodding it was finally found. No exchange was made. Thanks for the cache.
 
10-May-09
3.38pm Finished a very successful caching day with Lumeah with 13 out of 13 finds!!! A nice easy drive by to finish with ( log book was a bit wet) Thanks TNLN

Found by Bob at 1225

It's always nice to have a quick driveby when you're doing you first caching visit to an area and have lots on the itinerary. Today, I was able to leave the engine running while I quickly found and logged this one - kind of made up for another Blatherskite cache which I couldn't get to because of muggles.

TNLN

Thanks Blatherskite - too bad you didn't identify yourself when you spotted me later in the day - it's always great fun to run into another cacher!

Found this one today. It was quite hot so it was nice so find shelter in the shade.
Still a little damp inside cache. Took: N. Left: N
Thanks for the cache!

I began looking for this one today but noticed someone watching me and had to abort.
Will try again soon.

Took about 10 mins, but got there in the end.

Found with Landsergruppe & Darkvala.
Mrs J & Landsergruppe sprinted out of the car to this cache and with heads down and bums up, I couldn't get the camera working quick enough!
Cache was in hand soon enough.. Mrs says she got it first.
No golf balls here.
Thanks Blatherskite for the hunt.

We found our 3rd Blathershite cache at 3:40pm as the 24th of 40 on our Sunbury and Beyond Tour IV. Luckily for me, the cache was slightly exposed as these types of hides can be tricky. Not too many times we can pull 4 cache finds in 20 minutes. You would have to keep that rate up for 24 hours straight to nab 288 in a day. Thanks for the cache from D,H,H & A B-A.
 
01-Jan-09
Your googly certainly had us thinking down the wrong line, but the gps ensured no slips and we bounced straight to GZ. Hooked the cache at 5:35pm a spun off to look for some more.
TNLN
thanks blatherskite
 
01-Jan-09
We missed this one once before when we attempted it in the dark, but no problem this time. Monch Jr The Elder is very impressed that he's been to the town that gave birth to The Ashes, and I think he was imagining himself thundering in off the long run to bounce a few around Pommy ears while we searched. I keep telling him we need spinners right now, but I don't think the message is getting through...

Had a bit of a long run up for this one, since it wasn't on the side that I expected it to be on. It was found after a short search. Too wet for any sort of sport today. TNLN. (#476/495) Thanks, Blatherskite.
