Overport Trilogy #2 Frankston South, Victoria, Australia
By sharich on 14-Nov-09. Waypoint GC211CH

One or more of the following has occurred:

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.

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

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

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

Is this one coming back?

Disabled to allow for maintenance of this cache.

Gps all over the place. A boot camp was taking place, battery flat and now its raining!:-(

Found it finally nice quiet time of the day looked around and found it approx 5m from where GZ should be. TFTC

went for a very quick look and I suspect I didn't look hard enough as the park had more interest on the geo-kids today. Will come back another day and look harder.
Every muggle man, woman, and dog get around this location

Tried for my 3rd find of the day, but with no luck. The GPS seemed to have led us slightly off from right place, so we were unsure whether we were looking in the right spot. We checked both of the possible places based on the clues, but couldn't find anything. Thanks for leading us to a wonderful view though

Another great stash! SL TFTC

Cheeky clue
Found without too much looking.
TNLN TFTC

Hint isnt very good.
'The cache has fallen over'
TFTC

Found with the assistance of geo grandkids who are learning the caching game. TNLN TFTC

Yay at last

Lovely spot, searched about where the GPS was pointing but we couldn't find it. Moved to another area nearby which also suited the hint and found the cache soon afterwards. SL.
TFTC, Merann.

Took us 2 tries to find this one, a little tricky!
Took TB.

Nice location.
After a short walk cache was easily located.

Many trees down after recent storm.

TNLNSL

Thanks

Found it this time on my second go. I knew it had to be easy & I'm sure I looked there last time but ovbiously I didn;t. Thanks sharich
TNLNSL

Really enjoyed walking around this area.. what a beautiful spot! After realising I was searching in the wrong spot I eventually made the find. Dropped TB. Thanks sharich for the cache and for bringing me here.

GPS had a fun time with this one. In the end we turned it off & used the hint & our eyes instead. After about 5 mins we were putting our names in the log. Thanks Sharich for the cache & the hunt.

A lovely day for a walk with the dogs
Tricky hide!

Too dificult for a noob like me? So many fallen trees around this area, and the long grass did not encourage me to search a lot, scared of snakes.
Maybe I can come try once again before flying back home. If anyone has an additional hint for a beginner.


Edit 1/1/2013: second attempt with the help of a couple more eyes didnt bring a better result. Still unfindable for me. Maybe in a couple of years, when I revisit this part of the world

Tricky! TFTC.

Nice little stroll to a place of recently fallen pines. Nice view shame about the houses spoiling it. Tftc tnln.

Out for a race on Cup Day, a cache race mainly in the greater Frankston area.
"It fell down", they all fell down. Walking down the hill towards the GZ and spotted what was obviously the one that did but as I got closer I spotted another and then another and another. Ahhh, but which one. Eventually found it, thanks for the challange, and the walk. Nice spot.

Another huge TDC / RA alliance caching night. Headed down to meet up with the crew which included Trailrunning and Rebel Acts for the night. Quasar3671 was heading north to Cairns for a road trip to view the total eclipse. We ended up with a huge haul for the night with nearly 50 finds, but soured by 3 DNF's. With bikes on board, we cleared the Cranbourne Botanical Gardens and did some other bike caching. Great fun. The night was geared to a general cleanup of the Mornington Peninsula, which we did. An awesome night of caching with some great caches found in both day and night.

Took a little while, searching in the wrong spot initially. Moved off to a nearby similar spot, then had the cache in hand. TFTC.

You just have to love Cup Day holiday being on a Tuesday, especially if your main caching night is a Monday night. This can only mean one thing, a huge night of caching! I had spent the morning with my girlfriend at the cinema, before the appointed meeting with Blacklegend and RebelActs later in the early afternoon. Our other team member, Quasar3671 was heading north to Queensland for the second time in two weeks, to clean up the power trails up there, so it was just the three of us tonight. So we based our caching area on one location we knew Q3 had cleared. We had also planned to grab caches that can only be found legally during daylight hours, so we packed the cars with our bikes and headed south to the Cranbourne Botanical Gardens. With the first 17 caches found in under an hour (love those bush mountain biking adventures) we headed south from there all the way down to Mornington. I’m pretty sure we visited about 56 caches for the night and my personal total was 51 finds. There were a few DNF’s which took a bit of time out of the run, but we were pretty sure the caches were not there and a RM will be logged for each of them. With such great company, why wouldn’t you be out caching at night in such warm weather? Thanks again to each and every CO for their efforts. Well we found it after much searching of the wrong object. GZ co-ords seemed a little off on this one. Thanks

Found it, Thanks

Was a nice walk thru this remarkable hidden park. I was fooled for a bit and looked in the wrong place but the cache was found in a similar spot nearby. Thanks for the smiley.

GPS went crazy but found in the end!

really cool cache!!!

One of 14 for evening whilst in the area for The Covert / Starruby event.. I picked out some caches that should keep me away from the mad traffic and also take in some areas that wouldn't normally be en route other wise.. Its far enough from home, and in an area I don't often travel, therefor I didn't mind "clearing it out" so to speak.. I feels like months since I've got more than one cache in a day, however in reality its less than a fortnight... Thanks Sharich for the cache and stretch of the legs.. Thanks for the good coords and clever camo... Find #2768

Large pine tree has recently falllen at GZ looked for 30 min so is a DNF

months ago I found trilogy 1 & 3 without too much grief. However I couldn't find no. 2 at all.

......so, on a sunny winters day the cache practically jumped out of hiding & into my hands. thanks sharich SL

Found it pretty easy. Had to avoid a few muggles. Almost got busted! TFTC

Number 4 for spot of early morning caching before work. Good views

What a beautiful park, thanks for bringing us here! Nice hide, pretty easy to find, TNLN SL

couldnt see the bay views from this one but still a nice area, tftc

no muggles, easy find . left geo coin. tftc

What a beautiful morning for caching! Geokid and I decided to head out and find a few this morning, before he came home to have another Star Trek marathon. This really is a lovely park, and we found GZ quite easily using the supplied hint, but like the previous finders, I was unable to sign the log as it was just too wet.

Replaced soggy log book with nice new one and cleaned out container, so it is all nice and fresh again.

Number 2 in the trilogy, did my best to write on the soaked log book, will revisit when it has been maintained, I dont know how it gets so wet the container is in good shape and the hide place is sheltered?? TFTC

Hi guys, this cache is in need of some tlc the log book is wet through and not able to be written on. Tftc

Found at 1:36 PM GAFF1. Found the cache at a distance of 7 metres after a very nice walk across the well maintained grass.
Thanks sharich
Feedback: Log book somehow has become completely saturated and cannot be written on easily.

Found after a bit of looking. Everything in container very wet.

Just checked in on this one on our regular dog walk - the cache is there, but the logbook is saturated. The grass in the area is long, but there is a geotrail. Tread carefully in snake weather.

Liked the park. Needs maintenace as log book too wet to write so put in piece of paper and logged.

Looked for ages, too snakey, too creepy - I'm out of here

As per past logs, we had to drain this cache before we access its soggy mass of a log that we stickered. Considering its placement, quite surprising how wet it gets

TFT(wet)C

No comment or action by owner who haven't logged in since September. This cache desperately needs help.

My Cousin has come down to take me on a Cache numbers run as he is disapponted with my effort over the last two and half years, I think he's happy with today's end result...cache is need of maintanace desperatly!!..container was full to the brim with water, unable to sign log..TFTC

5167. [font=Century Gothic][green]Cache soup anyone. Mostly full of water which we tipped out but desperately needs some TLC - or a bullet.

TFTC and the deuce. [/green][font=Verdana]

Returned for another go at this one. Returned to the same place, then had to detour to allow for one of the dog-walking muggles, so went and hid a couple of Leapfrog GCA geocaches and returned for a thorough search. No luck again... Then I noticed my GPS wasn't quite pointing here, but a little way off. Hmm I wonder... I short walk and another matching GZ found, this time the right one and an easy find! It pays to double-check the GPS once its settled and not presume the first place is the right one however obvious it might seem! TFTC - trilogy complete.

Cache was waterlogged - the logbook was completely soaked and unusable - I logged my find on a scrap of paper. Not sure how the water got in, the lid seemed to have been on OK...

We are still trying to find at least one cache a day to see how long we can keep it up. The last time we visited this park was over two years ago when we found Overport #1. The park has not changed, it is still nicely kept but was a bit wetter under foot than our last visit. Being a weekday we had no sporting muggles to contend with but being warm we did keep an eye open for snakes as we had seen one at work only an hour or so ago. Once parked we followed the GPSr to GZ where the cache was located quickly and our name added to the log book.
Thanks sharich, hope it does not take another two years before we get the last in this series.

Beautiful park.

Great park
Thanks for bring me here
TFTC

Good pick-up.

Found this with Geokid Emily on a nice afternoon after kindy. Emily took time to play on the swings and slides etc. TFTC

As I was going for as many caches as I could today, a park with 3 all within a short walk of one another was perfect A very lovely park. After we found #1 we made the short stroll to this one - a very lovely walk. Many great trees, I have a cache that would have been perfect for this area. Once at GZ it was an easy find. Thanks sharich BTW, this one is a regular, not a small. Only one in the series had the correct label!

Easy find on a pleasant days walk with the GeoSpouse in tow.

As with the previous cache in this series, my brother spotted the cache before me. very good spot. TFTC

Nice easy find in an area I have never ventured into before. A quick and easy find before heading off to pick up the other last part of the trilogy.

TFTC.

Quick find trying to get to 200 before dark. Tftc tnln sl

Found on our second visit back to this spot! Had the wrong tree last time!! TNLN SL TFTC

This was the first of the trio today. A pleasant stroll after scarfing down some lunch, so we were fortified for the attack on the cache. A quick search of GZ revelaed nothing, but a check of the next most obvious place and there was the cache.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks sharich for this cache and the series. It was a nice day for a quick stroll around your beautiful park.

The day is getting warmer. A nice find in a great park

Thanks for the cache

Easy find, really nice park!

10.22AM

On a caching trip in an attempt to get 30 caches this weekend to Mornington Peninsula via Baxter and Mount Eliza. Parked in the Arts Society Car Park. After finding Overport Trilogy #1, headed for this one. What a great little park area. There was a couple of muggles walking their muggle dog, so I sat on a nearby log, absorbing the Vitamin D, waiting for them to pass by. As soon as they had gone, I had a quick search and had the cache in hand much faster this time.

Cache #2 in this series - Done. TNLN

Thanks to sharich for the hide.

Tricky one...especially at dusk, but we persisted and found it!! TFTC

Number 2/3 for the afternoon. It is a nice park although the view was lost in the mist of the weather. Took a TB

Nice little cache this afternoon on a cool windy day.

Found after a short search. Walked up from Trilogy 1, which was a nice short stroll. TFTC TNLN SL

Completed series today with this cache. Beautiful
views on the Dandenongs.
TFTH. TNLNSL

Just meet the previous log entry at a cache in mt Eliza. Sl tnln tftc

When we arrived at GZ we were asked by a man walking his dog if we were "Cach Chasers" LOL...............he knows what we were doing walking around in circles holding something in our hands.
A nice hide, we were looking in the wrong area for a while, but it didnt take long for Lostmonster to find the stash.
Many thanks for the series.

My first geocache in Australia! Introduced to the sport by Alyseluvsmike in Victoria BC Canada, they'd be proud that I found my first Aussie cache 2.5 hours after landing. Also introduced my 3.5yo to the sport and he loved it - though he said he'd found pirate treasure. Great hide at my local park! Been there a thousand times and never knew it was there! Thanks!!

Nice hide....TFTC

Having completed the other two caches in the trilogy, it was great to see this one back up again.
It is a lovely large park, and I really enjoyed the walk to GZ today.
Thanks sharich for the cache.

looked in the long wet grass but no joy tftc anyway

Our fourth cache for the day whilst out and about in the Peninsula.

It was a pleasant walk to this cache even though I took the longer way, but with good coordinates the cache was found and logged easily.

Out thanks to Sharich for the second Trilogy and it is off for the last.

Regards Mr.Coffee and the "giving the back and the legs a good work out but will regret it later" Coffee Clan.

I'm sure the cache is in there somewhere. It's been a weekend of snake encounters for me and there was no way I was going into the tall grass searching for tupperware. I'll be back in the winter with renewed bravado.

It has been over a year since I was here last and did the other two caches. Today I was a lot more successful in my search.
Thanks, Robmc.

Finally found the other 2 in this set after I realized I was looking in wrong spot. There are a number of spots that match the hint. Thanks to geoson for help. TFTC

Was passing by this way today, and this was the chance to complete the series - this one was offline when I found the others.
I pleasant walk through the gardens/park and a quick find, in part following the fresh geotrail through the long grass at GZ.
Thanks for the Trilogy.

Found @ 7.15pm, #657.
Finally got to finish this Trilogy.
As I was approching GZ I found the cache before I got there.
Thanks to sharich for this cache.

Found 15:00, after a pleasant stroll.

TNLN, CSI=2, thanks sharich.

Found in amongst one of the most beautiful parts of this lovely park. Cant wait to go back again and watch the lights come up around the bay. Found with deafblind friend (yes, deafblind and adventurous) who is also new to geocaching and was most excited. TNLN SL TFTC

Great find, 3 of 3 in this lovely park. Geokids took marble and two swords, left spikey ball, magnifying glass and whistle. TFTC geo kids v happy!

Found by The Empire @ 12:50pm
Find number 11 of 35 on my 1,500 GC.com finds before the end of 2010 day! 2nd of the series for me and this one was found quickly but I needed to find a long stick to grab it out of it's little hidey hole. Thanks again sharich!

I had a good look around but had no luck. Mind your eyes on the tall grass stems as you lean over to search - they're strong and pointy...

Took a hile to find mainly due to the coords being 6 metres out and the hint refering to something at there at least three of in the area. However found it just before I gave up, more lukck than anything else. TNLN TFTC.

A straight forward find.
A bit of a struggle to get to the actual cache as I am on crutches.

What a Beautiful park!.

Found at last with clue in hand, long looks around for the fallen tree. TFTC

Replaced container with a new systema box and put in a new log book and pen, all nice and dry.
Lots of swaps for the Geokiddies too

Sorry for the late log have had an issue with my logging due to the fact that i hate paperwork.
