Park & play Moorleigh, Victoria, Australia
By Echo & Spice on 10-Jan-09. Waypoint GC1H2RP

See my log for details.

Found @1424 #1524
Upon arriving at GZ saw that the playground was occuiped by 2 muggles so stopped the car to plan where to to do the next cache as this one was a no go. Once locking onto my next target I looked up to see that the park was now empty. Yes! So a quick stroll and was at GZ for a quick find. The Log and contents of the cache were found on the ground but no cache container! The log was somehow dry which I was a surprise due to the the recent weather. This cache needs maintance as the log will not last without a container. TFTC Echo & Spice.

Muggled - only the now soggy log scroll and a calling card(?) found. Needs replacing, temporary disabling - perhaps relocating?...

Well... I found the log of it at least, wet and barely writable, and a calling card of sorts. In the dark after another frustrating evening of fruitless caching in the dark and wet, I eventually ended up in this park to hopefully get an easy find. Not so lucky I'm afraid, after searching GZ by guarded torchlight and not finding any cache I spotted something white and unfortunately it was the log scroll... I signed it as best I could but tucking it back to close by where I presumed it should have been. :-\

Found at 3.05pm With Mrs80 now able to put on a pair of shoes today was a great opportunity to head out for some serious caching with xambo4u. A quick easy find. TFTC

3.05 Out and about with 80 degrees (glad to have you back on board) today. We were worried about the weather allowing us to get out but we are enjoying a break from the rain now. Mrs 80 did our list as we wanted to polish of a couple of puzzles we had solved in the area and suss out some others. Parked close by and Mr 80 and Mrs X ventured into the park. Muggler from a nearby bus stop kept and eye on us. While I took pains to divert her, Mr 80 did the retrievial. Muggler even took photos of us. No one in the park today it being so miserable.
TNLN Thanks for the cache Echo & Spice

i cant believe how i missed this one last time.
it was a straight walk up.

thanks echo&spice [:x]

Nice one!

TFTC easy pick up

easy drive by had fo wait 10 for school bus to go fhanks

Great fun to find this cache! It was an easy find for the family

Our first Geocache and we found it. Very proud of ourselves. Forgot to bring something to swap, so didn't take anything. Want to do more now

I was busted searching for this by a lady and her daughters, so i explained caching to them and they decided to help me search. It was found by her daughter, near where the clue described, but buried with pine needles. I probably wouldn't have found it without their help, and i think i inspired some future cachers in the process. TNLN, TFTC.

Found at 1350. Quick easy find with The Fiddlers on our caching run. TNLNSL TFTC

7th find for the day. TFTC

no good with this one, this morning.
iii be back.[:x]

A great little park, near some old stomping ground. Had to make use of the park bench to wait for a muggle to finish his chin ups. After that it was an easy find. Tftc, tn l: pathtag

A few teenagers in the playground today, but they seemed more intent on whatever they were doing than watching me. Cache was grabbed quickly and signed.
Thanks Echo & Spice

Found at 2.45am with Burge on a very humid night caching run. The hint made this one too easy and we found the cache in about 10 seconds! TFTC.

Nice easy grab on a late night caching run with pantherx. Tftc tnln sl

Quick find again in this great parkland.
Gee you guys in the Eastern subs are spoiled....
Thanks echo and spice for bringing me here

Easy find nice park. TFTC.

Found on an early morning - before work

I was caching in Bentleigh today after going to Alfred Hospital for some research. Many long walks oh what a tiring day. 11 finds and 1 DNF but a good day all the same. The weather was lovely, not a drop of rain which was good cause the rain would've cut short my run.

This was one of the caches that I found today. Cache was exposed, only covered by few chirps of bark. TFTC anyway

Cache not buried but completely exposed. Agree it might benefit from a new hide.

Last log suggests that it's BURIED - I wasn't looking for an illegal cache hide!

Thanks for the cache and a quick find but it was buried! Thanks to past logs for the heads up but it would be great to relocate this one where it abides by all the rules. TFTC SL

Found it together with nadya. Quick and easy find. Local muggles know about the cache

Cache was buried, found with the help of local geokids playing here.

No wonder I couldn't find it, I followed the rules of caching only to find it was buried!! Serious owner intervention is needed, a new spot and new coords should be found. Well, just don't bury it! Thanks

Found by Shimachic @ 17:10 after some searching amongst the barb wire in the wrong location. Not too difficult after all. TNLN.

Found @ 1105. Nice area. SL TNLN TFTC
# 237

Still cannot find it I would say it needs owner intervention as:
1) The coords point to the middle of the playground
2) The cache obviously is in the wrong spot
and 3) there is barbed wire around the trees that fit the hint, definitely not family friendly

A nice easy find on a cold but sunny winter's Sunday. As we sat on the park bench & signed the log we heard a monster next door that was chomping at the grass. We dared not peek over the fence! TFTC.

Out on another legendary night caching run with my good mate Marty (Quasar3671). Marty had already found this one, and it was now my second attempt. I did not disappoint, finding it quickly this time under torch light. Great to get another one off the "Nemesis List". TFTC.

Kids loved the playground. Left it to the newcomers to find this cache. Took Thomas figurine and dropped off a few trinkets. Cache was a bit out in the open so have covered it over better. Thanks.

Had to use the hint to find cache. The nominated GZ is
a bit too far out in the middle of the lawn..

[font=Comic Sans MS][green]I needed to use the hint but in the end I looked oruvaq not orgjrra

I found this one close to the posted co-ords. TFTC.

#457 3rd of 23 found today in Sth-East Melb. Nice little park. Found it just before I gave up as I was starting to think it was no longer there. Maybe it had been moved but the hint was a little misleading to where it actually was. Thanks Echo & Spice.

Found on a night caching run through the area. On my own tonight. I won't put a DNF here as i think the cache is gone and there is nothing to find. The most likely spot is empty, and after a 15 min search, failed to locate anything. If i am wrong after the cache is checked, i will gladly change my log to a DNF, and go and get my eyes tested.... Cheers.

with crank1 quick found it

Caching day
Luck for us, as no muggles kid there today
Found it
TFTC

Coords took me to a spot 8 metres from closest tree. check all likely spots according to the hint but found nothing.

Forgot to log this one after find this cache.

great cache but the coords were out found with thing no1 TFTC SL TNLN

Found with Thing no2 our fifth and last cache on our evening drive. GPS was out a bit but the hint helped us find it. SL TNLN TFTC

Got our second one ever yay!

Bought an etrex from Anaconda on Wednesday and found out about geocaching yesterday. This was strike 3 out of 4. Can't you paint these things fluro?

Walked straight past it,
Scott found it straight away

Muggled or bad luck?

Had a good look but couldn't find it.

Found with SirJ-Oz @ 1115, with the drizzle keeping the muggles at bay. Glad to find this one after the 'excitement' of the last attempt. TNLNSL-TFTC.

Found @ 11:15 with AmethystPig. The drizzle meant no muggles to make us nervous (this time), however much passing traffic. The trees seemed to interfere with GPS lock, bit the pig found it in the end. TNLNSL TFTC.

Didn't find @ 23:00 with AmethystPig. The story goes something like this... 2 moustachioed males performing questionable actions (as far as muggles are concerned) while secreted in shadow, freak out the trio of reckless youths having a lark in the park after dark. The trio make off with great haste but then regroup on the outskirts of the park. Our heroes, the moustachioed males, decide that discretion is the better part of valor and skulk off in the shadows back to the geomobile.

... or if you prefer in haiku form ...

Three youths in the park,
freaked out by man silhouette,
cache could not be found.

Perhaps another attempt in daylight hours is called for.

Found with Gonefishen07 my eighth and last for the day searched a little harder this time and ha presto we found it TNLN TFTH

found with Hearse068 went back for a second look. This time we found it think GPS was leading us up the path the first time. Had to wait till muggle caught the bus before we could do much. TNL1 thanks for the challenge.

Had a good look around but no luck with this one GPSr wouldnt settle down tonight couldnt get a good fix on GZ will have to come back with the wifes GPSr as it heaps more accurate than mine, Found someones sign stash though looks like they are collecting them there

On day out with Gonefishen07 searched and searched GZ no cache to be found maybe muggles have found it for us.

on day out with Hearse068 couldnt find this one maybe it has been muggled.

TFTC a little hard to find, dark conditions are not the ideal time to find
this cache. SL

Good fun for everyone

10.15am. on this glorious sunny day i arrived in the hire car,to find the place deserted and remembered being here before on 18.3.09 during my first visit to melbourne,getting a dnf! well this time thankfully i had a bit of a search then found this prize very nicely hidden thank you, sltn.patandjeff=bones1.

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

After dropping our friends geowoofer back home after the previous 2 caches and collecting our lunch we drove to this cache intending to eat lunch here and grab the cache however there were some kids on the playground and some much bigger kids playing soccer so there was no way we were going to attempt it so we drove to the next cache for lunch.
We then drove back here to find the playground empty for a very quick find.
Our GPS had the cache 10m out today which may explain why the previous finder couldnt find it ... I think its the satellites the last few days - a lot of our GZ's have been out 8-10m ............. or maybe it's time for a new GPS????? lol
The kids had a ball playing here - I'll upload some photos soon

Found at 1.22pm
No 10 of 21 for my Fathers Day out Caching with our Son
TNLN thanks Echo & Spice for the Cache

Sent from my mobile device.

1:17 pm. Would have been an easier find if the muggles across the way weren't kicking the footy for so long. Had to pick my moment between kicks to grab the cache. Nice hide. TNLNSL. TFTC. Kems

Found this afternoon. Nice easy find. TNLN tftc. Rehid well.

What a great hide - the cammo on the box was really effective, once in place it was invisible. Thanks for the cool cache.

Ankle Bitters everywhere... I located this cache @ 15:41hrs today, but I couldn't do much until the bus came and took the junior muggles away.
Finally got it...

Thanks

Set out for some night caching. #6 of 9 for the night. Quick night tiime driveby. TFTC.

Just around the corner with the beta female, picking up some ebay purchases, so made a quick grab here, followed by a short play on the equipment

Funny little park, and yes, great fencework!

Thanks from the Happy Chappies...

again, cant remember what we took and left but a busy day exploring the benefits of paperless caching.

Logging personal trackable.

Found at 1630. Had to dodge muggle footy kids and muggle dogs with muggle owners All fun though! Nice easy find on the way home from work. TNLN. Thanks for the cache.

Tristan the Travel Turtle Tag (TTQWTC) has come for a flying visit back in time.

Last of 7 tonight, had a nice diner nearby at an RSL.. TFTC SL Find #231

Found it , then had to wait for dog walkers AGAIN, third time this-afternoon. Took nothing left compass TFTC.

Found @ 2.05pm, #242.
We arrived at the park and hopped out of the car and walked to GZ but the coords were a bit out for me today, I was in the middle of the grass area with no cache at my feet, so we had a look at the clue and soon worked out where we should have been and soon had cache in hand.
TFTC.

Found it at midnight with arrcathlass (just as her birthday ended), arrjimlad, Lyn & Ross. The cache was a bit wet inside, but we dried it out. TNLN. Thanks, Echo & Spice.

On the knock of midnight we found it with polecats, arrcathlass and friends

The last thing I did on my birthday, just at midnight, left a tube of handcream.

New log book & bag.

Easy find after a quick play in the playground. Thanks.

Another quick find. There were muggles across the road but they were more interested in their remote control cars then us. Jackam

For some reason container was wet even though the lid was shut tight. Log book too wet to be signed.

Found By The Lone Random,
W The Empire.
@ 4.50pm.
TFTC, The Lone Random

Kids had a play. Middle Geodaughter, who had been the finder of the day, took a play break to help Dad with the search. Log very wet and couldn't be signed.
TNLN TFTC

The log is wet after the recent rain and needs to be changed. Another plastic bag is essential also.
