Ring of Fire - Melbourne's Lanes #4 Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
By iamapom on 25-Sep-09. Waypoint GC1Z3AG

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.

i hope i am not out of line but i went searching briefly for this before i relised its been down for ages.
hopefully it can be brought back to life

During my work and travel year in Australia I'll try my 365 days in a row challenge. Having a moving home zone should make this definitely way easier

On my first evening I just went to the closest cache I could see on the map and tried it, even it was disabled.
I was able to find it quite fast, thanks a lot for my first cache in Australia!

TFTC and greetings from Germany

Looks as if the cache had been replaced some weeks ago by something much bigger than what was intended. So I'm disabling this listing for now. Won't be able to replace until late on this week, or early next week.

We are staying in the hotel next door so managed to find this one evening on our way back to the room. We were feeling for a nano but something else got in the way. TFTC!

out with pantspeople Quick find with a clever hide very nice menu, a very nice lane , thanks of taking me here

One of six finds for the evening with gildalimor. A clever hide and we loved the container. I should probably go to that restaurant sometime. TFTC to the CO

Our first cache in Melbourne.
A lot of people here so it was a challenge
to find and log it unseen. But we did it...

Find number seven on a day spent in the CBD grabbing some caches to continue the streak and meeting the Geohubby for lunch. As we headed back towards the station this guy was on our route, so we made a small diversion and headed in for a look.
Loved the architecture here, but it played havoc with the GPSr and the phone so read the description carefully, then the hint and then decided where we should be looking as muggles came and went. As an idea of where to look occurred, I took one side, he took the other and of course I was on the wrong side. Hmmm... after a quick suggestion that I might try a different angle the cache was found, the log was signed and I was off to the train - which, as it happens, turned out to be harder to find than the cache .
Thanks imapom !

Achew TFTC

!!!!!!tftc!!!!!! I just got off the plane today from Brisbane and was told to try the ring of fire by other Brisbane cachers that had been down here so this was the first one I have come across so gave it a go obviously not a namo like in some of the pics and no vaulting but found anyway thanks for bringing me here!!!!!

Had to dodge some muggles around here but we still found the cache with ease. A funny logbook. Greetings from Tasmania. TFTC.

Tftc!

Thanks for the cache

Tftc

Fun, glad I found this little lane aswell

We were too short to find it but dad did

Choice, left some New Zealand money.

We took it upon ourselves to remake this geocache. It's not in exactly the same spot as the chosen capsule didn't fit, but maybe this renewed cache will add some "spice" to your hunt!

Easy find.

Found it

Add me to the list.

Not there!

Quite a few posts now about no one finding it. The gap where it should have been seemed obvious. Perhaps the owner could confirm it's still here and then I'll come back. Thank you!

It was pretty obvious where the hide should've been, but there was no sign of cache. Probably gone.

Could not locate

Tried twice and no luck.

Had a thorough look in the place it ought to be. Could not find it. Recent lookers also did not find. Perhaps it is gone walkabout.

Gone too soon

Our first find in Melbourne, everyone is right - needs a new log. We would choose the lamb rogan josh tftc

A curry would have been nice today but unfortunately it wasn't open. Tftc nice little laneway

Nice one!! Had some time to kill on a warm autumn eve in the city. Very clever! TFTC

My first Cache in Melbourne which is not too public, and it's even a Nano. easy to find with the nice description. by the way, I like the chicken tikka masala
DFDC / 18:57 /

Nice cache, thanks. Needs new log.

Needs new log. Love the back streets

Nice hide. Tricky with GPS signal, but description helped a lot. Lots of stealth needed. Sl tftc.

Nice cache...

TFTC and greetings from Finland!

Nice cache! Took 4 separate attempts to find an opportunity to locate it with all the muggles around. Finally got it on a Friday night while everyone was distracted!

Omg my favourite so far loved the cache very clever.

Found on the way home to Brisbane from a 2 day conference in Melbourne. This was my first experience of Melbourne laneways and it was fascinating.
I arrived at this one at about 4.15pm on Thursday and was amazed at how many people were dining and/or at the pub already. Was there a public holiday declared or something?
Muggles galore but I just used all the usual tricks and made the grab as subtly as possible. All in good nick so TFTC: enjoyed it!

Quick find with the geokids. Tftc.

Log is pretty full. Could do with a new paper strip.

Found this on a busy Friday great menu:)

#393 another easy find in the CBD.

We came to this one after a short walk taking in the sights of the city and were soon nearing GZ. The GPS was leading a different way so we left it behind and focused on the description. We soon got to GZ, and soon after had the cache in hand. Could not sign the log as we did not have a pen, but took photos for proof of the find(let me know if you need them).

Thanks for the cache iamapom!

TFTC TNLN SL TBs visited.

Condorito

Found with Dosy, sillylilly135 & salmonpoacher on 30/04, TFTC !

Found while looking for lunch today. A short cut through this lane and i remembered there was a cache here that evaded me in the past. Looking in the correct spot this time i had it soon in hand. Cheers for the hide.

Also the main log is full and the extra one in there is half full though both take up a lot of room. Hard to squeeze back in.

The log is totally full, needs a new one. I initialled the new piece of paper that has been squashed in.

GPS was bouncing around everywhere but still found it. After a few places I found the obvious spot. TFTC!

Nice cache tftc hail hydra

12th find of the night with Team Hydra (nadiaangel, sillylilly135, salmonpoacher)! Took us a little while because our coords were a bit off, but after reading the hint we were straight onto its location! TFTC!

GPS showed different spot but still found it.

tftc! log is completely full btw

In town visiting from East Coast Canada, this cache was en route to the Cathedral and I stopped to nab it. Quick find, full log, I didn't have any replacements with me. Signed DOB over a faded signature.

Thanks for the cache.

Once we read the description carefully it was a quick find until that point GPS had us all over the place! TFTC

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

So many choices on the menu!

Love it!! Sneaky spot! Great hints! Peer around, you'll need some light... TFTC

Find it! smallest cache I ever got.
Logbook is full!
TFTC

TFTC!

A quick easy find. Ate at the mitre tavern. Great atmosphere and food tftc

Tyftc on lazy Saturday afternoon

Found on wet quiet day in Melbourne Good Friday meant little muggles

Quick and easy find (nice clues by the way) on the walk to work from Flinders St. Have come this way countless times and often wondered where the GC was so today I made the most of having a spare 5 minutes and an empty street. TFTC

We didn't find it

TFTC. Great hide, log needs replacing.
4th find with Grneyez72 of the morning.
2nd find with Hardkase08.
Both new 'cachers' who are now on a mission!

4th find of the 1st morning at geocaching, with Captain DeJel...I'm definitely hooked now!
2nd find of the morning with another new cacher Hardkase08
TFTC

Tried for a second find on my walk to work this morning, but was not successfull.

I arrived and thought, help, where to look? I walked around bamboozled, sighed and began to leave. Then I spotted the hide and found the cache. Log is full, but I managed to squeeze in GW. TFTC.

Hi. The log is full.
Thanks

Took us a while as we tried to do it in poor light.

I had a short visit to Melbourne for a business meeting. After the meeting I had 30 minutes before the taxi would take us to the airport again. This cache was just 150 meters away from our meeting point and I assumed that I could have a go at it and return well in time before the taxi would arrive.

The walk toward the given coordinates take indeed only a few minutes. In this very nice small street my GPS doesn't want to settle onto a single location. Luckily the clear description contains enough information to direct my search towards the cache.

I quickly spot the cache but this small one has been placed almost out of range for my hands. After I remove my watch I finally manage to grab the small guy. The log is indeed completely full.

iamapom thanks for this cache.

#2401 in:-/out:-

[blue] Day 9 of our Australian-Holliday-Trip through Australia. This day was a rainy day in MElbourne and so I can find some interesting places in Melbourne.

Thanks for hiding this Cache

Muggle dense.

Found by Peter & Marian taking a stroll in the CBD before heading home to the hills.
A nice easy find, Logbook is totally full could not get a curry too early. TFTC.

Tough reach for these old arms, didn't think what I could see could possibly be the cache! Had to take a walk to allow a Muggle to depart, then back to retrieve, photo evidence only due to previously mentioned full log. A great hide thanks iamapom, my first nano.

Found pre Taylor Henderson & Reece Mastin concert with my little sister. Nice easy find but only marked the log with an 'FL' cause no room. Cheers & T.F.T.C =]

Found. Log book full

Also here we needed a second Trail to find it. A lot of Muggles arround... Tarnumhang had the right grab and then we could not sign the logbook, as it was full. So we attached a foto, hopefully thats ok?
TftC!

As written in the Log, the Logbook is filled.

It was our second -and this time sucessfull - attempt. Katzenfreund8 took a picture from the logbook because it is completely full. Tftc!

Found this one on a quick walk through the city.

Quick find together with NBilli78 on our daytrip in Melbourne. Thanks for the cache.

Too busy? Or we're having a bad day..!

Loved it! Our first ever nano - very exciting! The log is full! Bec & Steve

Log completely full!

9th cache for the day found it

After one week in Auckland and one week in Melbourne, today I was heading back to Denmark. However, I had some hours before leaving for the airport and therefore got the opportunity of one last geocaching trip in downtown Melbourne. I decided to explore the area North of my hotel and enjoyed both the caches as well as the nice weather.

This cache was found at 8:48. The log is full, but I squeezed our name in at position no. 13.

Thanks for the hide and greetings from Denmark!

I used the quietness of a Saturday morning to secure this one. Quick and easy.

Skipped out on the vaulting seeing as we have left our youth behind us and eyebrows would have been raised at the sight of us performing gymnastics in the middle of the city. Straightforward find due mainly to great clues. A bit early for lunch so we didn't take up the dining option. No burning ring of fire today for us!
TFTC

Definitely in a hurry if yiu like curry. Log extraction a little difficult but managed. Great location. Retrieved at 5:55 am hardly any muggles in sight. Managed to extract, sugn and replace. Mission accomplished. TFTH TFTC

Found by Uncle Brian as part of familykemps 4 kings on his holiday visiting relatives. He did it without a gps .. just relying on my description. Said he'd never seen a pot so small but his 78 year old hands still managed it. So greetings from the Wirral in England.

2 Maart 2014 14:11 wizard4u TFTC: not easy to find and even more difficult to log secretly. Just initials logged, thanx for the nice spot to search

Yeah after three months in tasmania, i'm back in Melbourne for few days i think. Good time for geocaching again
thanks for the cache !

Overlooked a couple times cool cache !

Nice Cache

Great cache! That thing was a fun spot as it was the first nano I'd come across! The log has only 2 or so places left to sign so it may nee replacing.

Almost overlooked it! Ahaha

Awesome hide!
