GEGP #21 - Pushie under a greenie! Dandenong South, Victoria, Australia
By Echo & Spice on 16-Jul-08. Waypoint GC1E4HK

Done.

Looks like it needs a check up.

I believe this cache to be missing please check

convinced this is missing

I spent a fair bit of time searching but to no avail - I decided to refer to the recent logs only to find 3 DNF's ...... perhaps the CO could perform a status check on the cache.

Cheers

I have been eyeing off this series for quite a while now, but it was only a short time ago that I had the idea of doing all along the trail in one go, by bike. The weather looked good today, so we put the bikes on the car and started at #24 and collected 18 for the day, meaning we didn't end up making it to #1. I am sure we will pick up from where we left off eventually......... but I was quite pleased with the total. We ended up riding for 32.5km which was quite a lot considering the total. Oh well, it was very enjoyable

I think this one is definitely gone Please check ASAP Echo and Spice!

We looked around GZ for quite a time and the clue suggested it would be on a flat ledge that was just perfect for a cache! I wonder it this one has gone missing?

Could not find the container.

I sent rebel acts to do all the hard work

My first ever cache great spot

Found on an afternoon caching run with my local father-in-law one-eyed.
He spotted the cache and kept lookout - all with his one good eye! I did the physical bit to get the cache.
The old bloke is enjoying telling my wife and mother in-law about my clambering exploits !
Nice hide. TFTC

Found with Son in Law Iamapom, great find.
Drew on my knowledge whilst in NT Australia glasd it was a dry day.

Found with Irontoad today at 1615. This is an amazing place to visit though not very nice to park around here (we were being environmentally unfriendly today). Cache was found easily though climbing was a bit tricky.

found at coordinates. Log destroyed

11.17AM

Today, I set myself a challenge to find as many caches as possible without driving my car (Except the drive from home to here!). By the end of the time available to me, I had found that number was indeed 14 as well as reducing my caching impact on the enviroment.

I had seen this type of hide previously but I really liked the spot, I sat there for 5 minutes while at least half a dozen cyclists rode past me completely unaware I was watching them while logging my find. I have seen many types of Systema container, but this one was a first.

Thanks to Echo & Spice for the cache, Another GEGP crossed off the list. TNLN.

3:45pm Just doing a couple on the Eastlink trail. Took Marble Left toy stingray. SL TFTC

Found @1253 #496
Part of a mini cache run along the East Link freeway today this was find #3
A nice size cache this one, easily found. Actually I have never seen this type of sistema container before, nice. TFTC. Left blue stone, took nothing.

Found. TFTC. SL. Took TB.

The second of four caches today, find #203.
This one was our first stop on the eastlink trail today, we started here and then headed to the Holiday inn and Bird & Worm for a bike ride. A quick find in the obvious spot, the log is slightly damp and we swapped TBs.
Thanks for the cache Echo and Spice

I have been driving past many times.
Got my bike fixed and ride to grab this cache

Revisited this cache on a whim, while on a bike ride with Vicki. Found Rod's Travel Bug and decided to do a swap and move the TB along. TFTC

Knew where it was straight away. TFTC.

There is certainly lots of development occurring nearby. Thanks to the hint, the cache was retrieved without slipping or falling, although it was a hurried jog back to the car as the rain started to pour quite heavily! Thanks for the cache.

Found on a great day for a bike ride! T4TC, E&S!

just got a new travel bug and am using it to calculate distance

Good hiding spot, with a hearty climb to get to it!! Thanks for the cache

This one had us wondering a while, but LouiseAnn Came up with the goods after searching for a while. TFTC.

nice hide found on a round trip to dandenong south

All good!

Good place to hide the cache. Be careful if you are wearing cycling shoes.

Enjoyed walk along to the cache - took TB. SL. Thanks Echo & Spice

Found with draw four. thanks echo and spice. catching up with some I've missed.

Found it with Wild and Uno this afternoon. Parked the car and did the walk back to GZ with Uno holding the GPS and counting down the metres to go. Wild and Uno found easily and the first thing they said was if the Logs had said anything about ants. Only saw one muggle ride by during the 15 or so minutes we were there. Uno took the $5 note keyring and Wild took the small pencil top rubber. Left a small doll and a panda stamp.
Swapped TBs. Kids were impressed by size of cache, the climb and the location of spot.

Found by Morgan family @ 2040 TFTC SL TNLN nice quick find

6.15pm
Found by Roma and Max.
This one took much longer to find than it should have as we overlooked the obvious place at first.
We had to disturb the guardian ants to log our find!
Cheers Echo & Spice.
From Romax.

Wow, That was an effort and so many muggles on a beautiful day. Took the geocoin (will take it to a beautiful spot interstate next week), put in a aussie note keyring. Took geopal Elly with me - her first geo day out. TFTC

Found @ 3.50pm. It wasn't where I thought it might be at first, re thought the clue then found it ok. TNLN, TFTC.

good little drive by grab TFTC TNLN

Stopped for a quick cache on the way to the local drive-in. Left 2 TBs. TFTC.

Found this right where gerty the garmin said it would be. TNLN TFTC

2660. Finally coaxed McPhanKid out of the car and to walk with me to this cache. Parked at the street mentioned in the cache page and had a nice wander over and quick find. We walked back inside the barrier at the top which was fun to watch McPK in his thongs negotiate.

TFTC and the recycling.

Nice walk on trail with my geodaughter. TFTC

A great find. TFTC

Another nice easy find with the Walenators on our East link caching day TFTC

Found at 10.05am in the company of The Dehney's. Nice easy traditional cache. Took Speeding Element Skull TB. TFTC SL

While GeoMum did the Christmas shopping, the GeoKids and I headed out on Saturday morning to see what we could find.

Pushie under a Greenie was our first introduction to the Great Eastlink Geocache Project. What a great idea! I had no idea how good the bike track along Eastlink was.

The rock climb was an added bonus... the kids were all over it.

Cache In Trash Out works well here. The area looks a lot better for it.

Echo and Spice, thanks for the cache!

After parking in a very illegal spot this one was soon found and signed.

Found 12:55, after a brief search.

TNLN, CSI=1, thanks Echo & Spice.

Driving through, figured I might as well stop for one last cache for the day. Parked at Ordish Rd, and walked up. I perched on the rocks to fill in the log. I grabbed the Spirit of the Endless Knot GC, no other swaps.
Thanks for the cache Echo & Spice,
best wishes,
Wal

Parked up off the side of the road, and walked the rest of the way in. EB Nano & EB Max climbed up the structure to no avail. EB Chief, leapt, jumped and a little bit more and soon had the cache. Said hello to Speeding Skull TB which we dropped off in other cache on Halloween, took Walk a Mile TB and left Endless Knot Geocoin. Had to wait while first a group of cyggles (cycling muggles) and then an ambulatory muggle took in the view and passed us by. A quick movement by EB Max and the cache was returned to its hide awaiting future cachers. Thankyou for the cache.

EB Chief found it before we did so he got to claim the geocoin. I got to put it back. I think I'm better at climbing than him or maybe I'm just better at getting down. TFTC.

Dipping in my Gc

Gee i had to borrow a few item's to log this cache. The car was in the workshop, Gps was being repaired ,So i had borrowed dad's 4wd for the day and Rigger64 was glad to lend me his spare Gps...
Parking was bit of an issue but with that solved the cache was soon in hand!!
Enjoying the serie's...

2nd for the day at 0720 hrs during a bike ride along the fabulous East Link trail
Many thanx

Nice cache on the way home. Hadn't seen the Eastlink path yet but now the weather has turned I'll have to dust of the pushy. TN left an alien eraser. TFTC

Yay... the kids had so much fun finding this one...
found at 16.35 hrs
It was cool to see that "datruk" was there just a few days before us, as he got us hooked
It was lovely and quiet, no one around, which was great.

Short bike ride from the last cache and we quickly had this one in hand. Nice big cache. TNLN. Found @ 11:40 am. KeMs

Found easily, so far it's been a great tour of the Eastlink highway. Took nothing and left a dinkie toy. Many thanks for the time and effort.

Found by caughtatwork at 3:27
Where on earth do you park to get to this cache? We were probably a little bit naughty and two stayed in the car while GabGab and I checked for the cache.
A nice esy find too, especially as we checked the clue in order to be n and out before we were spotted.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks Echo & Spice for this caching experience. It was a nice sized cache too which made GabGab happy even though we didn't swap anything.

I found this cache with caughtatwork and the family today. K and J stayed in the car while daddy and I found the cache. It was nice to find one so large. Thank you.

dipping personal geocoin (Freddy's Shadow) to track my miles.

nice hide. There were probably lots of pushies trundling back and forth earlier in the day, but at dusk I had the place to myself to make like a mountain goat around GZ.

Nice quick find even with the dwindling light. TFTC. TNLN

Took swaggie - will need to work out what to do with it!

Made a dash for this one on this wet and cold afternoon. Parked in the recommended spot and walked the rest of the way. No-one around due to the weather. Found the cache no probs. Nice hide. TFTC.

Found on Victorian invasion trip with Big Matt and The Rats.

I made a steep climb up under the bridge but it wasn't there and The Rats beat me to it.

TFTC!

Here with Big Matt and Steeba as part of our Vic invasion weekend. After a short search the cache was in the last place I looked.
Thanks

Found this cache on our Victorian Invasion trip with Steeba and The Rats. I think we parked in the wrong spot but we got the find! I need to look at more of this series next time I'm in town.

Thanks Echo & Spice for the cache.

I had no idea there was this great bike track along here. I will ride it one day. Today it was just a quick park a grab. TFTC

This was my first Dandenong - Carrum ride since Eastlink was built, I used to do it a lot. Things have certainly changed...
I looked at the cache 3 times thinking "can't be there" before taking a closer look. TNLN, TFTC.

Found by Mary & David at 1150. Parked as suggested. A short brisk walk to GZ for a quick find. No pushies in sight today - they're probably all at home getting into the chocolate. Our thanks to Echo & Spice.

Stream Of Cacheousness #44
This was a stream of caching that was to take me along a ribbon of freeway from Williamstown to Frankston.

Parked nearby and spent quite a while trying to figure out this simple cache. People seemed very keen to beep me too...but no-one stopped.

After the 46 degree heat kept us inside yesterday, the cooler weather today inspired me to get out and attack the southern end of the GEGP group.
I found this one at 1:10pm, observed by some ducks on the slightly nasty smelling pond below. Haven't come across one of these long sistema boxes before.

As I was here nice and early in the morning I decided I would chance a creative car park. A quick sprint to the cache, sign, and sprint back again and got back on the road before I was asked any questions. Not a single car passed during that time, what are the odds?

A nice spot for a cache, a bike would be a much better way to see it.

Thanks,

The great Eastlink ride continues and the legs were getting tired by here - and we weren't to the turn around point yet! Cache in hand at 1:35pm

thanks echo & spice

This was the second cache after lunch with Alsume and friends. The old sandwich still hadn't settled before reaching for this one. This was where we found that EuDes might have had a puncture which did not seem to slow him down and we headed on south. However not before we picked up a purple cat kiwi type of TB. Thanks E&S

Today I escaped weekend duties and rode my bike 42km from Wantirna to Carum along the Eastlink path and Dandenong Creek trail. This was cache 5 - starting to get pretty tired now!

Climbed up to the cache to sign the log etc, and then down again only to find I'd left it visible, so up again I went and then found the easy way down. The grader operator on the other side of the creek probably thought I was mad, but somehow I don't think he was a muggle risk.

Left a GCA swaggie and a TB.

Thank Echo & Spice - interesting spot.

A short trek along the roadway allowed us to pick up a few of the caches today.

Neat cache. TNLeft an eraser.

Found with ggkof whilst on our usual Tuesday night caching adventure. No muggles meant I could scramble all over the structure, it was found in the second place I looked. TNLN.

Found @ 22:20 with davroy while out on our Tuesday night of caching. Davroy got this one. Only one to go to finish the series. TFTC TNLN

Nice quick find in a position used by a couple of other GEGP hiders. Thanks for the cache.

Found at 2015. Having spent the best part of the day along the Eastlink trail, it was nice to arrive at this one at night. No muggles around meant that I could pretty much crawl all over this structure until I had found. Fortunately for me it was in the first place I looked.

Thanks E & S.

Had to be a bit of a spiderman to get this one but soon enough the cache was in hand.

Found today with MR on-hand. Guess women just arent as good at this caching thing as the men. *ducks for cover*[xx(]
Thanks for the Cache.

Had a look at this one while passing through the area and i can say its still there.Keep looking.

The girls went out to find this one, and think they might have found where it "should" have been.
Can someone confirm that it is still there, so that MR can find it?
Women.... [B)] sheeesh

Found by Bob at 1645

On the way home after visiting family in the SE, I figured I could grab a couple of quick caches too . This one looked like it would be pretty easy, but I didn't fancy a longish walk in the cold wind from the nearest legit parking spot, so I ended up parking on the footpath and doing a quick run to GZ. A quick scramble toward a likely looking spot and I'd soon signed the log and was running back to the car .

TNLN

Thanks Echo & Spice - I think this one's pretty safe from muggles .

After walking in from Ordish Rd, I spotted a likely looking hiding spot - and was not dissappointed! Took TB Eddie de Eland, LN. SL at 1:10pm - while sheltering from the rain under some nearby trees! Thanks Echo & Spice for the cache. Regards, 38degsouth.

I did have to read the hint. Took a TB 'Brum' the truck and left something. Thanks Echo and Spice
