Eastern Beach Lakes Entrance, Victoria, Australia
By greynomads on 28-Jun-09. Waypoint GC1V843

I cannot see any information that suggests to me that steps have been taken to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement - one or more of the following applies:

- Cache Owner unable to maintain cache
- No response from the cache owner.
- No cache to find or log to sign.
- It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.
- Cache has been abandoned by cache owner/cache in disrepair

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to also prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the next 28 days, just contact a reviewer (by email and include GC number in cache name) and, assuming it still meets the current guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

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 Geotrash.

Should you wish to replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

Searched but no luck

The cache has gone !!!! The structure to which the cache was attached has been removed during an upgrade of the equipment. We will find a new location in the next couple of weeks. Sorry for the recent inconvenience.

Regards...... Greynomads

It seemed obvious where this one should be but in spite of a good look around in multiple places, we didn't find the cache. Worth the stop though as the smaller team members had a great time on the playground. At this time of year it was very quiet but I can imagine this area would get very busy in the coming months. Great area, a shame we didn't find the cache, but worth the stop anyway.

No muggles around so made it easier to find
TFTC

Not in favour of this type of placement but found easily with no kids about. SL TFTC

Great hide was very cold today so we were the only ones there kids had a play and we were on our way tftc

Very sandy!! Gave us a good chance to play on the new playground equipment

On an early morning winter visit there were not many muggles around so I had a good chance to look around. Definitely would be difficult on a summer's day! TFTC

Cold winters night found with ease no muggles around

2nd go at this one as last time muggles wouldn't go away. Thanks to my geo kid who happened to make me look at the right time, had a quick feel. Found with jody1470 tftc love it

Out with outnabout86 and geokid, our second attempt. Loved the clue, geokid showed the way. TFTC

Found this cache after a nice morning walk from our holiday house.
There was one muggle at the park. We then found the hint and the cache.
TFTC

There were a few muggles wandering about, some walking dogs and others studying the new structure that is being built for those who become desperate while geocaching! A quick find after wandering ourselves so as not to look too suspicious - a clever location. TNLN Thanks for the cache greynomads.

Quick find, no-one around
TFTC

Neat hide, clue was handy

We decided to head down to Gippsland for the Easter long weekend: a great excuse to go caching a little further away from home.

Found this cache on our leisurely Sunday in Lakes Entrance.
TFTC

Found it. No swaps so I put in a plastic pirate coin

Kids are enjoying a play while we hunt. TFTC

Couldn't sign the log, no pen.

Found gfresh

We drove past GZ to find a few muggle families here, so we went to the car park at the end of the road and walked over to the beach. Coming back past GZ and most of the muggles had gone, so after a little time waiting we went in and found the cache well hidden on the obvious spot.
TFTC.

luckily no muggle in the evening.
TftC

Decided to come for a little geo weekend and check out this lovely little spot. TFTC

Tftc

came to lakes for the weekend from paynesville. rained all day Saturday but managed to grab s few caches. Easy when no one around. Easy grab.

Nice easy find at this deserted park this morning

Grandchildren enjoyed the park too

It took Us 2 trys to find. Very well hidden TFTC! when we found ,there Were a few muggles SO we had towait to open it . It was empty when it was foundbut it has some it-bits inside now . again, TFTC!

Great hide

The boys found the play equipment far more interesting than looking for the cache. So I was on my own. Casually able to sit down and feel around making the discovery. No one paid any attention to me so it was easy to sign and replace before heading over to the beach to dip our feet in.

Found ok, TFTC

Lovely quick find once the muggles left! Tftc

Tftc - muggles all on the beach today, thankfully! Son found it immediately!!!

Kids had fun flying on the fox while we found this one !!!

The first part of our 6-week-journey in Australia took us from Sydney to Melbourne and also led us to this hiding place.

Thanks for hiding it
globus from Germany

We have returned from Canada to discover a few more Australian caches! What a great way to explore the Land Down Under" ...
It was quiet here this morning so were able to find it in no time!
Thanks for the fun greynomads!

Finally got it!!

Found in under 30 seconds but I was under pressure as muggle children were bearing down quickly.

Found on a beautiful sunny day while staying in area for short break. Not to many muggles around and those that were came and went quickly. TFTC!

Well we thought this one was going to have to be DNF ... Lol ... You might call us determined tho!!!!
Attempt 1 Sat arvo - arrived and there were 2 families here, didn't get out of car.
Attempt 2 Sun before tea - arrived and there were some teenagers at the playground, didn't park the car
Attempt 3 Sun after tea - arrived and there were some people with a campfire going not far from GZ, didn't even stop the car!
Attempt 4 Mon morn 9.30am - No-one at playground but Muggle Couple s l o w w w w l y walking their dogs through it. They finally left so we started hunting - yey. We decided to look at the hint straight away so that we could hopefully find before next lot of Muggles arrived lol.
TFTC greynomads & for all the caches you have placed and also others you maintain in the area. After looking at the shops we left this lovely town & started heading home - GJMMelb

Miraculous find on my 70th birthday, just as a muggle birthday party was getting underway!

First geocache in over a year for me i think, found with friends while on a day trip from mount hotham (beach cravings) no pen in cache and failed to find one in the car so couldnt sign, thanks for placing it!

found whilst staying at nearby caravan park

This hide took us a little while but our two young boys were very happy to be held up here for a while. In fact we stayed for a good half hour to burn off some energy. A nice simple cache in a place that is great for families. Our thanks to Greynomads.

Tricky find with all the muggles around but found it using the hints and clues.

No one here early morning

From Tauranga, NZ. Careful hunt with miniature muggles to dodge. TFTC

It took a few miracles, but finally found this one. Thanks Nomads.

Took awhile but found it. TFTC greynamads

Nice easy find and no muggers around TFTC

TFTC...didn't have a pen so photographed the log

I got a MIRACLE - early morning & raining - quick grab & I was gone.
TFTC

Found in the rain. We put on our wet weather gear and braved the elements to find this cache, which was perfect as there was no one around. Loved the clue!

After arriving today, I immediately checked GC area and found a lot of caches nearby.

This was the easiest one to start with because it is not a mystery.
One unsuccessful attempt was necessary to get more motivation for the search .

The target area was clear but too many opportunities. Tried out here and there and suddenly was successful.

A lot of mother, father and kids muggels today .

TFTC / 5:15pm

We were sitting in the car deciding whether we'd attempt this with so many muggles around, when we see someone doing the 'caching shuffle'. Deciding to wait and see if he turned it up, we stayed in the car. He gave up, and walked off. We thought we knew where it was, so I went and checked, but no, no cache. Having another look, we found GZ and under the guise of taking a photo found our mark. A busy area on a sunny day!

Had to use the hint as sooo many muggles around & wanted 2 get in & out quickly. Very good hint!

After meeting Greynomads at an earlier cache find and teaming up again with friends Liz and Bruce we set off to find some local caches of which this one proved to be a good find. Tftc Greynomads.

We arrived at Lakes Entrance today and were keen to get out caching. In particular Bruce wanted to get the puzzle caches done that he had been working on. The area is a lovely area to cache in, so scenic. This was one we targetted and found. We were happy to meet by chance on the pedestrian bridge local geocachers Grey Nomads, always great to meet with like-minded people. It was also our arranged meeting place with LazzaL who we are friends with from the Sunshine Coast Queensland, good to be out caching with them again. Thanks to greynomads.

Found with boys today.

Find 01 of 07 for the day and #1633 in total.

With the backpackers using the site as a camp ground we decided to crack the hint early but still managed to search all the wrong spots first...

We were here at 20:00h with no muggles around and had a long search. But couldn’t find.
Greetings from the Netherlands

TFTC! Did it at night, nice Hint but even with that I touched the cache 5 times before realising it is the cache

Nice hide, thx for the fun on the playground

Found this one early before any muggles were about

We checked every platform as good as it was possible with the muggles around ...

14:36. Logged it with Cachebox!

After a good weekend in Lakes officiating at a rally it was time to head home, with some caching thrown in! This was the first I went for today and I found a deserted area as expected at 10:00am on a Monday not in holidays! Got to GZ where I had a look in a few spots before the cache was in hand. Thanks to the greynomads for this one.

Checked this one this evening, and all was well
cheers
greynomads

Tried yesterday but too many mini muggles nearby so got here very early today for a better look. Nicely hidden, need to have this place to yourself to have s thorough search. Now back north to Home. TFTC

Found with Shimachic - easy find on an overcast day. No muggles about.

The hint was very clever and gave us both a smile. We did this one at night so thankfully had the place to ourselves. Discovered this little area when we were up here 2yrs ago but we didn't start caching until 18mths ago, so it was lovely to come back here, even if it was in the dark! SL, thanks greynomads

Beautiful day
Found it with megs_q

Quick find today
Found with SQAU

Haven't been to this area for a few years. The playground has certainly changed in that time. Geoteen used to love this area when not a teen. However was very interested in the new larger equipment.
Today, the playground was very busy at 15:00 or thereabouts. found GZ but just too busy to search, so went for a walk on the beach and chased another nearby cache. Returned considerably later, and very quiet now. Teen and mum engaged the gran and child in conversation and the cache was grabbed with little trouble. Nice hide! SL and returned cache.

TFTC greynomads

Bit tricky with muggles

Found quickly as not too much muggle activity!

Found this on Saturday with misschief18 - once again on my way to work

Absolutely no muggles about today due to the rain so made this a nice quick find tfth

No muggles around when we first started looking for this cache. I've learnt a lesson-watch where you are going and not the GPS all the time, otherwise you could hit your head on something-like a metal bar! One bruised nose later and cache was found just as muggles pulled up. Managed to sign the log and return it to its hiding place without drawing too much attention, we hope. Found with taurus1955. TFTC

It is what the hint said there are lot of miracles happening but only one counts TFTC greynomads

Mr SKIs past life as a school teacher made the clue really mean something which was fortunate as there were muggles here continually even though we returned later in the day.
Mr SKI couldn't go to retrieve the cache however as blokes in these structures look dodgy nowadays. Oh how we wish we had our grandson Gusso with us!
So it was left to Mrs SKI to stealthily retrieve the cache. As we are signing the log we are now waiting for an opportunity to return it to its hiding place.
Must sign off, as now is our chance.
TFTC

Checked cache, all is well.

Greynomads - Bill and Diana

Geofriend and I activated our stealth mode as there were muggle children everywhere! TFTC

Found with 2 of my lucieer boys. Tftc

quick find in the company of Keden1

Hi Found it, Great hide went with friend Net looked high looked low grabed it.TFTC

Go away everyone, so I can this cache.
Just about to leave, everyone else did instead.

Signed the replacement log
TFTC

Thanks Poiter.h for replacing the cache for us a couple of days ago. We were quite surprised to learn it had disappeared
cheers
greynomads

We couldn't find it. Think it's gone. Bugga.

Definitely no sign of any micro here today.

Great clue

Was staying nearby so grabbed this on an early walk tftc

Very clever cache! TFTC Four!!!

Tftc!!;)

Had to find this one whilst pretending to Play on equipment , great hide and tftc

Had a group of youngsters to mess around that made our search easier in the busy season. TFTC
