Spice's secret Mornington, Victoria, Australia

Cache would appear to have been abandoned - taking the next step and de-listing - sorry.

If there are components or remnants of the cache and you haven't already done so, please return to the GZ and collect the cache (or remnants). We don't want to litter our environment with Georubbish.

Beautiful scenery on a pretty ordinary day weather-wise. Searched but to no avai. Brought a geokid with and kept one eye on them the whole time.

Unarchiving cache at CO request.

I'm really sorry, but as there has been no response to previous request to attend to this cache, this listing is being archived to stop it showing up on search lists. The cache owner is either unwilling or unable to maintain the cache - the cache has effectively been abandoned.

Cache ownership requires attendance to maintenance matters which, apart from physically looking after a cache, can include updating any changes to the text, updating coordinates, responding to Reviewer enquiries, removing Needs Maintenance attributes and Enabling the listing.

If there are components or remnants of the cache and you haven't already done so, please return to the GZ and collect the cache (or remnants). We don't want to litter our environment with Georubbish.

If you wish to contact me please send your email via my profile - [Bunjil,](https://coord.info/PR9GZ0K) and quote both the cache name and GC number please..

Another DNF for me. Just some jocks & NYE party stuff.

Maintenance has been performed and a new container is in place.

Will be looked at in a couple of weeks.

### **OWNER MAINTENANCE REQUIRED?** ###
This cache has been flagged by Geocaching HQ as one that may need attention. Perhaps it is time for the CO to check on this one please.

I am temporarily disabling it so as to stop it showing up on search lists and to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

Your prompt attention to logs that indicates things could be amiss will be greatly appreciated by all geocachers. It is generally accepted that 3 consecutive DNF's is reason enough to check, see here: [Owner is responsible for visits to the physical location,](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance )

Please respond to this situation by **28th October** to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness. If you require more time, please be sure to post a "Write Note" log (not an email) explaining the situation and indicating a date when you believe the situation will be resolved.

**And don't forget,** once you have addressed the issue, post both an "Owner Maintenance" log, see here; [Removing the Needs Maintenance Icon](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) and an "Enable Listing" log, see here; [Temporarily Disable and Enable](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ) to get your cache up and running again.

Couldn't find this one last night, had a good look around. Think the CO should check this one out.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

A DNF unfortunately but we found a pencil & bits of a plastic clip top... I wonder if that was it?
Maintenance check may be required.
Nice view though.

Beautiful spot, but we couldn't find it!

What an amazing view! Our search was hampered by a local muggle who was up for a chat, and we must have looked super sus coming out of the bushes together. We will back to explore this gorgeous spot further another day

First find for the weekend away l think l left my gold caching pen at the hide. Container needs a little attention l think the weather has taken ots toll.

Found in good order but someone (a muggle?) found it a couple of days ago and made a note "found by accident". Thanks for placing the cache in such a lovely spot.

Found and fixed up as spread everywhere. Enjoy the star

Missed us today. But maybe was to distracted by the amazing view. Will be back

Found it today, couldn't write in the book so will come back soon again and put a small notepad in it for future. Amazing view and great little adventure!!

Magnificent cache! Strangely took a while before finding. Log may require some maintenance as it is quite damp. The views, I'll give you a tick for. A fave point for the views and experience. TFTC, Brainiac03

For its location this one needs a Fav. TFTC

Great view

Find #2286

After a nearby find I headed to have a look at this one. A lovely hidden spot to check out here that I am so pleased that caching was able to take me to. I rolled the parking dice and then apparently flouted some other rule to follow the obvious path down towards the bay. I was close to GZ but at first didn't see where I needed to head next. I was already enjoying the view and the bay which was as calm as a mill pond on this pleasant day. I only got an improved vista as I proceeded and even remembered to find the cache. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables. Thanks for the multi cache and for taking me to this great location Echo & Spice. This one earns a favourite point from me for the super location.

Pre work caching. Tftc. Its only a bay, but wow, it makes you feel small in a good way

Nice quick find with a great view. Tftc

Raemoz found it after a bit of a search. TFTC
No TB in cache.

Been geocaching all day and this was the best one yet! Amazing view!!

Wow! I did not know this look out even existed!!! Took much longer than it should have but I think I was a bit distracted by the view. :p Thanks so much for the find

Took us far longer than it should have after misinterpretation of the hint. We then enjoyed the view of the sunset and the paraglide cutting laps overhead.

Found this one with my little sister. Off the paved track but we went past it at first. Saw some Dolphins aswell which was a bit of a bonus!

I've been meaning to visit this hitherto neglected dot on the map for ages. Actually got close once, but was dissuaded by the warning sign I've since come to realise is rarely heeded by the rest of humanity. A fine location for a cache, but I took a surprisingly long time to detect it given its size and position. Also found paraphernalia associated with other recreational pursuits. Thanks Echo & Spice for taking me somewhere I suspect I'd otherwise never have found myself in this lifetime!

Moved up the path due to brush cover thinning out.

After a surprising phone call from a local bush walker who found the cache container & contents strewn everywhere from the seat at the top all the way to the bottom of the cliff.
The cache has been returned to it's slightly altered location.

A big thank you to Marty for his time collecting the pieces, contacting us & allowing us to pick it up from him.

Congratulations to Spice for choosing this spot for a cache. The view is awesome, the water was crystal clear today. A muggle couple were enjoying an evening picnic in anticipation of the sunset, so we signed the log and headed off again.

Feedback to CO[/u]: The lid is all that remains of a container (certainly not round as the cache page suggests), a new container would ensure the longevity of the hide.

Our thanks to Echo & Spice for bringing us here.

Forgot to bring a pen aaarrrggghhh what a beautiful day to hunt caches. Sent the merkin nyochi scrambling for this one. Left a pony and grabbed the little fluro yellow monster thing.

What a beautiful spot :3, perfect find for international cache day! Forgot a pen but i was there and left some booty behind at this little treasure

2015-08-02 14:39 Been meaning to get this one for ages and have been rewarded for making the effort today. I love caches like this. My thanks to Echo & Spice for bringing me here.

found. Full log to follow

A stunning view at gz while picking up this cache. The cache itself is an easy find, there is a path closed sign but an easy detour slightly to the left will get you there. Be aware that gz is close to a quite dangerous drop off, so as in the attributes this is definitely not a place for kids or pets or those unsteady on their feet. There was no sign of the trackable when we visited. Thanks for the great view and thanks for the cache.

One of my faves so far! What a magical spot! Please take care though, not suitable for small children. Found with AlizaSkulls.

Gotch ya good find pls be careful people

And thankyou for the tissue really needed it

Awesome cache. A little bit scary for my 8 year old but worth it.

Container updated with a grey 200ml sistema.

Lid inside has cracked and fallen apart. I placed the plastic sandwich bag over the container and screwed the outside of the lid over to try and save the contents. Will need replacing

Temporary fix for broken lid

0850hrs. Collected a trackable and deposited another.

Could the CO check the access route to GZ. The path I attempted to used is closed.

Easy find once we found the right place

We found it finally on the. 2nd attempt fantastic spot.

Beautiful day, great walk , I let smilingbob do the climb while I collected abalone shells

You can climb from the ground ... If you are monkey man ..great views cheers

We thought we would approach this one when we were going for a walk along the beach. Wrong! So right on dusk we walked back to Sunnyside, jumped in the car and drove around and approached along the cliff top. Eventually found an old path and made our way to GZ. Great views that improved when we had the cache in hand. TFTC

We took a stroll down past the footpath closed sign. Arrived at GZ and spent ages scratching around until finally spotted the rather exposed cache. Geodog Rosie enjoyed the short walk but wasn't to fond of the steep drops near Gz.

TFTC

Great spot for lunch while exploring the area with Jamin. I was borderline hysterical about pooch Rosie slipping over the edge while we both searched. Thanks for the cache Echo & Spice.

Doing some crane work locally thought I'd do a quik cache TFTC it was a great spot

Found it after having passed it on the way down the cliff. Don't go down the cleft in the rock. Didn't sign the log 'cos I didn't have a pen. The seals gone ; for now. I live in area. It's a great walk.

Crampons & a pen needed for this one ! TFTC E & S

Called back to this one this evening and thankfully nobody was at the cache site. There were a couple of boats not far from the shoreline but not close enough to be able to see what I was doing. Spotted the cache almost immediately as it wasn't really covered or hidden - not sure if some of the non-caching visitors had found it and left it this visible. Anyhoo, I signed the log and tried to make the container a little less obvious.

I have looked at doing this cache a few times in the past but have given it a miss due to the path being closed. I then noticed quite a few people had logged finds since my last visit so assumed the path was open again. I cycled down with the dog in tow and on arrival found the path was still closed. I thought that being as I was here I may as well take a look down the path so left the bike at the top and headed down the hill. As we walked down the path, the cache site came into view but unfortunately it seems the site isn't quite secret enough. I was somewhat taken aback to see a couple of kids from the nearby secondary school having what I shall politely refer to as a midday romantic interlude. As I felt it would be rude to interrupt, we went for a bit more of a ride and called back about 2 hours later. Imagine my utter disbelief when I arrive to find another different couple once again taking a mid afternoon romance break. Looks like I may need to wait for a rainy day before I revisit this one!

Path closed by council. No access to gz.

I did this 4 days ago I've always love this walk thanks for bring me back here TFTC

Nice short walk after work with sheppythekid. Great views, ever though the weather was abit nasty. Tftc. Cheers, bwbandit

Thanks- found this a few days ago - what a beautiful spot

Oi oi awesome

Took a few minutes to find. Beautiful view TFTC

When arriving at the nearby track entrance we where a little concerned and wondered should we go or leave, we decided to be rebels and ignore the signs !! Headed down to GZ and within minutes had the cache in hand.
Beautiful views all around and it's a shame this track is closed off. SL TNLN TFTC !!!!

Easy find

Took a a few minutes to find as we decided to climb down the side of the cliff but awesome cache

Couldn't find it. Came up via the cliff. This is very difficult and defo not advised. Off to get a drink and will try again a different day.

Beautiful day so a road trip to the beach. Track technically closed but found our way. Found with Jimmytherat who is much more intrepid than me! Don't like track that I can't see. Great view in the end so Thanks

Found with Noelle04 after a
Thorough search. TFTC. A bit of a tricky one this because if track closure due to land slippage further along the track. None evident anywhere near the cache I
If approached from the end away from Mills Beach.

I used to come here a lot when I was growing up. It is one of my favourite places.
Thanks for getting me back here Echo and Spice.
Chiefton.

Good spot

Interesting spot to go when it's blowing a gale. TFTC SL

Do not try this one at night or if you are tripping over all the time Lucky I made it out alive the way I've been falling over lately eh Tony? Took a few minutes to enjoy the view TFTC SL

Found[Time to Find: 20 min] A quick after school caching run for Emily and I. We walked down the track and found a team there taking a census of dolphin population in the bay. Aparently there is a healthy population in this region. Soon after Emily had the cache in hand. Thanks to Echo and Spice for this one.

Nice cache last for the day

Last cache found on a nice day helping Cononon with some caches I've previously found. This well located cache was unfortunately followed by searching for the unknowingly to me, temporarily disabled 'Nanas Cache', and then a long ride home in the rain to Mount Martha. TFTC, great views in a place I never knew existed.

Found today with new cacher AmenRa1. I had originally found this cache in 2010, but still took a while to find.
It's in excellent condition.

Thanks Echo and Spice.

Foiled by The Dolphin Research Centre - came at 3:30 on good Friday only to find some dolphin hugging hippie muggles blocking the path...grrr...long walk back up the hill! Another day!

Having a breather from working on my sons house. Bit tricky with a parking here but soon on the path. The view is worth doing this cache. Boats drifty around, took time to enjoy it as much as they did. Thanks so much for bringing me here.
Nice easy fnd, cache is in good condition
Thanks for the cache Echo & Spice

Amazing views. Not exactly safe, so adults only. Found a trackable and will relocate it soon.

As a new premium member I am giving out overdue favorite points. Of all the locations caching has taken me this hidden spot is the best and deserves a favorite.

Oh, wow, what an incredible view!

We drove very slowly through the estate behind it, admiring (and laughing at) the incredibly massive and ostentatious houses around, as well as the very beautiful ones. It was fairly quiet this evening, with only a couple of dog walkers around.

Wandered down the path, and caught a glimpse of GZ: "Yep, I'd bet that's where we've gotta go!" Sure enough, when we got to the seat, had a bit of a hunt around for a trail, spotted it, and squeezed our way down to the lookout.

Absolutely flabbergasted! Easily the best view in Morno. I almost don't want to give it a favourite point, because I want to keep it a secret! No, definitely worthy of a FP. Also, dropped in a pretty lil coin, who will enjoy the view.

Great location for a cache! Awesome views and set a short distance from the paved path and bench, should keep the muggles away.

This cache was found as part of a minor cache run with my fellow TDC member Rebel Acts and puzzlemaster Danozz. What a great spot for the cache. The houses here look nice too. What a view. Thanks heaps.

Run Summary
----------------------
Given the Australia Day holiday fell on a Monday this year, a few of TDC had an opportunity to have a little cache run down to Frankston and beyond. Although it started out nice and sunny, by 1 am the rain was pretty persistant. It wasn't a huge numbers night, as many of the caches were quite lengthy walks, lengthy searches (Found it 7), and many of the caches were not there, but we still had a great night and can't wait to get back down there and clear out the area.

After 3 attempts with a baby,I finally came with grandma so I could go a huntin in my own...found it! Thanks!

Blustery windy day! But converted Sydney muggles

What an amazing spot. It took a bit of searching but I was in no hurry to leave this beautiful location so it was fine. Tftc

What a beautiful place with amazing views. Had to watch my footing on way to GZ but once there cache quickly found. SL with Pea bear then just sat & admired the view for a bit. TFTC

Awesome views, was searching nearby when I hear Natasha say 'found it' thanks for bringing us here. TFTC

Lovely area and view! Some great houses! Thanks got the cache. Signed the log

Found it on cache mission with Fat_Jox84 on a night caching mission (geowifeys & geomates) TFTC SL

Found on a night mission with me and mrs Krazy k. TFTC SL TNLN

TFTC

visiting this neck of the woods is such a pleasure.

only one muggle of no concern really was over the next beach in a hang glider.

so my main concern.....as l am unco, was staying steadfast on the cliff as at 1445 hrs it was blustery but fabulous

thanks Echo & Spice SL
