Child's Play. Sorrento, Victoria, Australia
By Team Goanna on 28-Nov-09. Waypoint GC21GWA

I've moved interstate and whilst I visit now and then, I am not able to properly maintain this one any more.
Was amazing to see such a large, obvious cache last for such a long time... Shame someone had to ruin it.
Sorry!

Making the trip home to Vic in a couple of weeks. Will clean up or replace this one as required. Shame - it was doing so well for such a huge & exposed cache!
Sorry for any disappointing finds/ searches.

Just spent the last 30mins looking for this with two gps too make sure we getting the right spot found plenty of empty bottles I think it may have been muggled!!

First cache find on our hols to Melbourne. Started easy so tftc

Good hide, lots of fun but could use a clean up as it was very dirty, wet on the inside and somebody put a car battery in it...

Thanks!

Found today, My it is big. Don't know whether it is supposed to be there but there was a bloddy great car battery in it today.

Thank-you for brining us to this playground, we didn't know it was here and yes we stayed for hours!!

Seriously... How could you not find it After walking all around Point Nepean doing night caches, it was nice to have an easy one. Thanks for the cache

TFTC! Nice easy cache after traipsing around trying to find night caches in the point nepean park. Found with murch1.

Wow, it is big! TFTC

Thanks great find

I can not believe this hasn't been muggled! What a bold hide! Thank you for the hide on such a lovely day to cache with epicmac.

Well, it was certainly hard to miss this one. Amazing that it's still in place considering how many micros and nanos seem to get muggled. Maybe you just get a better class of muggle in this area - you certainly get a better class of climbing frame.

TFTC.

Being on a small getaway with two other couples (including 7 children!) coming down to this playground was an inevitability... This morning we popped down after breakfast. Great spot, and while it was quiet when we arrived it got busy quick!

Introduced some muggle friends to the sport and I think this one may have given the wrong impression! I think this has to be the easiest cache so far we've ever done.. So easy in fact you were second-guessing yourself that that couldn't be it! But it's that boldness that makes it an unusual and fun one.

Great cache (can't really call it a 'hide'!!)...

This has been my biggest cache so far!!! Raining - so not another person in sight. Found with geo-friend Jane. Took Xmas Teddy TB to take to some exciting place. Left surfboard key ring.

Wow! It's been so long since I found a large cache. I'm amazed this one is still here. Obviously this side of the garden is completely ignored by visitors (and presumably) the gardeners.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks Team Goanna for this large cche here today. I was bereft of childen today, just having The Mini Mob with me, so we attacked the cache and left.

visited cache again while here with geobaby, dropped off 2 TB's =)

Picked up this one quite readily today while on a peninsula trip to see the rough seas around the Bass Strait coastline.
TN, but left Christmas Bear TB - we would be very pleased to have him get moving again so that he can have a few travels before next Christmas.
TFTC - fascinating that it stands up so well.

Out for the day with Grim Jeepers we stopped here. We normally avoid caches near children's playgrounds as we feel out of place so we took the opportunity of looking while we had two kids in tow. We needn't have worried as the very large cache was hidden well away from the playground. We decided to have our picnic lunch here before looking for some more caches
Thanks Team Goanna for bringing us back to this fantastic park, we have been here before for a now archived multi

Day with Team Crackers, cant believe size of cache.
Great park so decided to stop for lunch. Swapped kitchen cupboard for maze
Thank you Team Goanna.

NICE PARK CHEERS

Quick easy find together with LouiseAnn. Thanks!

A cache that lived up to it's name, that's for sure. I was caching today with Pathfinder24 and Ostara64, we were picking up some interesting caches between Portsea and Mornington. Pathfinder had found this cache quite some time ago, so it was up to Ostara and I to make this find, which we did with no difficulty. Thanks for the cache Team Goanna, it is in perfect condition and it is great to have cache like this out there that are suitable for all ages, particularly kids, as they always love to find a 'large' cache and go thought all the goodies.

such an easy cache caught us off guard, but found after a few minutes searching the bush TFTC

I was amazed that this cache was just here and so large. Cane here with the geobaby to play. He ha fun on the baby swing. Yay

Couldn't believe Roving AL had never been to this amazing playground before.
Great cache,
TNLN Thanks

Found with kids and some nubies to caching (also with kids). Attempted to rehide less thoroughly than normal. I think I succeeded! TFTC.

12/06/2011 Teamstyx. Found earlier 2day had to come back after dark due to muggles everywhere. Took bibs left penguin.

Found whilst out night caching, TFTC

Excellent one to find with my son. Poppy's first one too! TFTC.

Checked in on this cache to replace log book after reading Riggers log, But all is ok as there is an almost new book. I think he must have found the old one
Cheers

TFTC

Stopped off here after the Point Nepean night caching event. What an enormous cache in such an accessible area! Such. Bold hide.
TFTC

after a fun event I was grabbing a few caches on the way home in the company of Rigger64. As I was fairly limited I will say thank you to Rigger for his help 110%.

Fortunately Rigger64 found the cache easily and wow what a great sized cache.

Our sincere thanks to Team Goanna for an excellent cache.

Regards Mr.Coffee and the "back surgery? not childs play but the cache was..lol" Coffee Clan.

As we were heading south to attend the event cache at Point Nepean, walenators was stopping off so that I could find some traditionals. When we arrived I wandered around to ground zero as casually as I could as there were still people heading into the park, even though it was getting rather dark. I was not prepared to find such a big cache container in the area though! How is it that something so big does not get muggled, but little caches do? Not that I mind of course, finding a container like this makes for a good day

Thanks for the cache Team Goanna. No swaps conducted today


Cheers

Find # 564 Found @ 2020Hrs

Found in the company Of Mr Coffee After Attending the event down the road & all of them disapering off into the darkness on the bikes we decided to head off & clean up a few caches on the way home & this was the first port of call.
Well i started to use my phone which was trying to lead me astray so back into the pocket it went & out came the real GPSr.
To which it pointed to were the cache was &bas i rounded the corner the torch beam hit the cache to the call of hey do you think this might be it i have not seen a decint size cache for awhile.
So you could say i was a bit stunded to see this one.

BTW: the log book is how can i say full & falling apart.

Lucky for me the geokids were all sound asleep at this hour.

The cache was found under torch light and a quick search of the area.

A nice size too!!

TFTC

This one was very simple indeed

It is child's play lol

It really is child's play

Found tonight while doing some night caches with my cousin "McPhan", SLTNLN TFTC

4342. [font=Century Gothic][green]A last find tonight after heading out to the point with making tracks. Haven't seen one this size for a while and the find was made to the accompaniment of much drunken singing.

BTW thanks making tracks for putting me up and showing me around.

Really a big cache and easy to find. We covered it as
it was nearly exposed when we found it.
TFTH. TNLNSL

Located this without hint!
Little room to leave geocoin though.
Tftc

When I saw the cache I just laughed although it was quite exposed .recovered the best as possible and was off . tftc TeamGoanna

Love the hides of this size! Found with FNSM

Found in the company of Earthbound Chief while EB Nano played on the playground.

The Chief made the find while I accompanied EB Nano (reluctantly) over to the playground. Not the most pleasant place to be when it's 14 degrees and raining! Made finding the cache easier though as NO muggles around today. TFTC

Found 2 1610 pm. Fairly easy find cache not very well covered signed log and returned and recovered as ell as possible. TFTC

We were surprised at how big this cache was and how it has lasted so long, the very pretty park was muggle free so the cache was a quick find. TNLNSL.
TFTC, Merann.

A quick and easy cache while waiting for the ferry
TNLNSL, pelusa

Tnln. One of our favorites

Kids loved this one, after the find, family went for a walk on jetty and seen a GIGANTIC manta ray. TFTC Team Goanna. TNLN.

Found @ 10.55pm, Find # 735.

After completing a new night cache at Pt. Nepean I thought that would stop at a few nearby caches on the way home.
I stopped on the side of the road, hopped out of the car and started to walk the wrong way, then realized and corrected myself, then soon had located the cache, it is amazing that a cache of this size has survived this long in this area.
Took TB.

Thanks to Team Goanna for this very large cache.

In: TB

#97
#1 in Australia.

Found this one easily while the kiddies had fun at the playground.

Tftc and greetings from Germany.

Huge is all I can say-= how this does not get stolen - well done

Great to see such a blatant hide. TNLN SL TFTC

Easy find TFTC

An amazingly large cache for the location. I suggest a coat of camo paint!

Didn't have the kids with us but could have left them inside this cache. Dropped in a few figurines for the kids
biggest cache I have seen

Found at 0955 after a ferry trip on my way to Mornington. Not many about and an easy find. But wow, this is the largest cache I've found. Thanks Team Goanna for the cache on the other side. NINO SL. cloudglider

Took magnetic geocoin

Found @ 10:35. Nice big cache and a quick find. Thanks. TNLNSL

Wow, what a great find in a lovely part of the world.

Our 1st find in Australia and our furthest away from home so far.

Judith and Charlene. (Judith found)

Biggest container I have ever seen!!!

Great park, stayed here a while.

Thanks for a great visit!!

Nice size cache took glitter and coins left elmo ruler and pencil set and also a bratz candle sl tftc

This cache needs a new log as old log is full I would have replaced but didn't have any paper

Mega-cache. Found by Geo-coz... Took pencil, Wombat deposited. TFTC so close to hundreds of muggles. Great spot.

1st of 10 finds to day at 0845 hrs in company of Bushfire. A nice easy find of this large cache, one could say it was child's play.
TNLN Needs a new log.

Grabbed the ferry across from Queenscliff for a day’s caching with VKC1SR over on Point Nepean and Sorrento area. On arrival this was the first cache to be found and could not believe the size of the container and how it survives.
Only three big kids here today with the weather to cold for the beach so was an easy uninterrupted find with nothing in and nothing out. Thanks Team Goanna for placing this cache.

A huge cache that is surprisingly uncamouflaged, amazed that this isn't muggled. Fantastic views of the bay which may explain why the cache is still intact (everyone is distracted by the vista!). TFTC

Talbots and Tempo's strike!!! Left some goodies

Found while holidaying in rye!! TNLN TFTC

An easy find after we got off the early morning ferry - it was the 2nd largest cache we've ever seen! TFTC. TNLN.

Found at 12 noon. Rain just holding off and few muggles parked. Camo is so in your face. TNLN TFTC

Quick and easy find, can't believe this hasn't been muggled! The cache was pretty much uncovered, so we put a bit more vegetation over it before we left. Took Aussie pencil, left pterodactyl. Kids took off immediately for the playground, perfect day for caching (not like the rest of our holiday!!). Thanks for the cache.

Found it - and it is a good playground. I had a play on the swings myself.

Came down this way with a newcomer to caching to see the artist's walk near Sorrento. Very pretty area of the country. One the way back we noticed this cache was nearby and stopped - had a youngster with us who could enjoy some of the spoils. TFTC.

Arrived Sorrento from Queenscliff with Laker63 and crank1 with partner and husband for the weekend.
Nice find by crank1

Arrived Sorrento from Queenscliffe by Ferry with Alchemy2, Laker63.
Found it quickly

with crank1 and alchemy2

Found 14/11/10 15:12 . No rain this afternoon, a nice change from yesterday allowed for a spot of afternoon caching

I've seen caches hidden in plain sight before but this one takes that method to a new level

TNLN

Cheers Team Goanna

Did a maintenance check today. The cache has moved a bit, so I put it back where it belongs (still stands out like the proverbial, especially with the camo paint worn off, but hasn't been a problem yet!)
Disappointed to see the state of the contents: That cache was chock-a-block full of stuff when I first set it, and some rather quality items included...
TRADE UP OR TRADE EVEN PLEASE, FOLKS!!

The worst hide I've ever seen but it seems to work.
That's a nice place even if you don't have kids.
Thanks for the cache!
Took a Travel Bug.

Found with Rebel Acts. At first I was concerned about the playground but the cache is happily far enough away from it. A surprisingly big container, which also surprised us with its boldness.

Brieze and I were on a lovely drive through Sorrento and across the ferry to Queencliff with Brieze's sisters family. We stopped here for lunch and a cache before hopping on the ferry. We were all looking around and had all but given up when Sue the sister mentioned she might have booted it down the hill!!! Sure enough when we all scrambled after it, The cache was revealed. While 8 year old Christie looked through the toys we put in a TB and she took a bouncy ball. We placed the cache back in a good spot near the coords.
Thanks for the HUGE cache

This was cache # 17 of 31 for the day in the company of Alansee on our tour around the peninsula. We could not believe it was just sitting there like that, we were glad it was away from the play area as well. My thanks to Team Goanna for the cache.

Loved the container. Unfortunately I had nothing to put in so took nothing and left nothing. Thanks for a great cache. Can't believe this has not been muggled though.

Last find of the day with cathylmorgan and shortsuff95. Loved the cache. Left crocodile. Took dog bag. Can't believe this has not been muggled.

Parked so close it was almost a driveby!! Found straight away as it is just sitting there - obviously the gardener/lawnmowers know its there but had decided to leave it alone (which is great!)
Nice to see a great big cache as well. Left pathtag, took nothing. SL TFTC

First find in a long time. Biggest cache found also.


Swapped balloons for pens

Been to this place before, and no kids so early on a Sunday morning, so it didn't take long.
Great size for an urban cache. I had no swaps today as I was on a two day ride.
Came back a bit later with the driver for the ride, to show her what caching was all about - hope she doesn't think they are all that size
Thanks, Robmc.

Indeed large!! Quick find followed by fish and chips for lunch No swaps. Tftc

Finding this cache was certainly child's play as it was extremely obvious. In fact, you could probably spot it from 100 metres if you knew where to look. We wondered if the very large cache was meant to be so obvious? We have a photo Team Goanna that we could send you if you would like to see what it's looking like now. We attempted to cover it up a bit, but without a major re-arrangement of foliage, there was not much we could do.

Anyway, it certainly made for an interesting find. Thanks Team Goanna - A beauty for our 1001th find.

The largest cache we have ever found! Great day out with the family and introducing a new family to the wonderful world of geocaching!! TFTC

Found 15:15, having bought some afternoon tea from the nearby purveyor of the best Vanilla slices in Victoria.

TNLN, CSI=2, thanks Team Goanna.
