The Guns Queenscliff, Victoria, Australia
By Robmc on 22-Dec-09. Waypoint GC226HP

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 %d% 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, just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it still 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.

Went here with a friend who'd previously found. Def gone.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.
I am temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time please be sure to post a note (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require.

For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

No CO notes / checks since early August... Maybe just needs a bit of a prod...

After talks with a previous finder it would seem the cache is indeed missing. Not sure what's happening in regards to a replacement yet.

Can I ask if this one will be checked soon or leave it of my list of caches to do while in the area next month?

:/ pretty sure I need to be looking in that tree according to my compass. Still no luck.

I had no luck finding this one. Had a feeling that had been removed or muggled.

Will try again another day

I'm sure we were searching gz but

I had no luck finding this one. Got a feeling that it is missing.
I'm talking to CO about possible maintenance.

Try again another time. It might come to me.

The coords also led me away from the guns, scrounged but unable to find. It was, however, a nice sunny day to go on a wild goose chase..... after all, that's what wild geese are for.

Looked thoroughly at GZ and at obvious places and could not locate

Still having issues with this cache! I'll keep on trying when I pass again.

GZ took me to a tree behind the guns. A search of the tree and the guns themselves left me smileyless

DNF . Day or night! Thought this was an easier cache for young scout troop. Sure it is missing. Will try again soon.

Nice easy find on our holiday in Queenscliff.

Not another gun cache! I don't have a good record with these but this was a nice easy find tftc

Sophia and Travis

Easy one. TFTC

Nice spot to come easy find

Found with bkj97 while on holiday from NZ. T4TCSL

Interesting fort. Quick find. Perhaps the award winning pie helped. TFTCSL

Found it

Quick and easy find from our geokids Dodo+Tim in rainy conditions - we've been still wet from running around the 360 cache. TFTC

Found it

First find on a day trip from Portsea. Great history here. TFTC

Went down on a lovely Sunday afternoon. Took a few minutes but found it. Great part of town to visit also.

Tricked a bit by the likely looking hiding places (and GPS that couldn't make it's mind up), I eventually got a clear GZ from the device and made a quick grab to log nearby as there were a couple of muggles annoyingly standing around chatting nearby. TFTC

Pulling up I was sure I knew where the cache would be...I was wrong the GPS took me elsewhere and it was right.

Found with Nahul. TFTC

Found! Good hide, no one around. Stop & look around the area to think where it will be. TFTC

Nice location for a cache. Cache was quickly found.
TFTC

A great day for a walk. around the town.t4tc:-)

All guns ablaze on this one. Took a little longer than anticipated, a treemendous effort was required. TFTC.

A quick detour on the way out of town. TFTC

Tftc!

Nice cache didn't take long to find

We found this cache very good! The guided tour was too late for us, so we moved further to Melbourne. TFTC!!

#3044

Having hired a car for a specific weekend event only to have it cancelled on me at short notice meant there was nothing left to do really but go walkabout.
The Saturday found me exploring the complementary section to the Mornington Peninsula of St Philips Bay.
Having had a drive round the area it was time to stretch the legs and take in the odd photography session.
Not quite the option of a cache and dash here as Mr & Mrs Muggle were loitering and showing no signs of moving on. A second couple arrived and started chatting to the first and it became apparant that they were waiting for the Museum to open.
I must had read just about every bit of history board by now, so out came the camera for some "macro" shots of the guns.
Museum opening time finally arrived and I was free to pounce on the cache like a week-starved tiger on a small tinned pilchard!

Thanks for bringing me here and thanks for placing the cache.


My apologies to the cache owner for the exceedingly large delay in logging this find.
For quite a few months life has had an awkward habit of generally getting in the way of caching. Not completely enough that I havent been able to go searching and occasionally finding, but certainly enough to when it actually came around to writing and logging the finds. I can only apologise for any records, karma targets or unloved cache days that have been skewed as a result of these late entries.
Thank you for placing the cache and thus enticing me to get off my backside and get out and explore.

Good one.

Hmmmm, Another cache i regularly pass by when out with the children from work. So glad we cached Queenscliffe, now know a many caches i regularly pass by. Just waiting for the time to whisper "Muggled" as i walk by a cacher whilst working.

TFTC, Bit late on the logs today, Finially worked out i can upload cache notes to the website from my Garmin GPSMAP 62sc, Damn it makes things a lot faster and easier. No more excuses in the future.

Quick easy find TFTC!

#1,789

bikerbuddy noticed this traditional as we were heading towards GZ of a puzzle, so we made sure to stop to look for it on our way back out. And he found it quickly, while I was still walking towards the hiding spot.

Thanks

We were in the area to do the Webcam cache nearby, and had passed this one, so we stopped to take a look at the guns and find the cache. Thanks

Find # 2693
Date 16th Mar 2013
Time 2:33 PM

I was again without my caching wingman SedgwickDave who was still on holidays over in Perth. I decided to go solo in an area he had already hit, so the target became Queenscliff and surrounding area. My initial intention was to get five icons today, but due to inclement weather and other issues I was unsuccessful. I was also attempting to find my 2700th cache which I fell one short due to 8 DNF's for the day.

This one took me a long time, not because I couldnt find it, but because of the steady stream of muggles coming to check out "The Guns" eventually they all departed and the cache was soon found.

Thanks to Robmc for the cache.

#241 TFTC... after finishing our local fish and chips on the beach, we honed in on GZ pretty quickly and was about to make the grab when we were set upon by muggles on their way home from the beach. I amused myself with a read of the info panels as the muggle children played on the cannons for a bit. Eventually they left and we made a quick find

Love Queenscliff. Quick find.

A nice and quick drive by. Lovely area. TFTC. Clever hide.

nice easy find late at night thanks

Still raining, ground wet and squelchy and so were my feet. How armaments have become so much more destructive and indiscriminate in the last century

Guns caches are always a pain in the behind but this one wasn't too bad in the end. tftc

Quick find on our visit to our diving mates.

Good to see this is back on line, easy find.
Found on a day / night caching trip to secure our 500th, with Ogrebeast and Hoon1. Thanks for the cache..

We are getting go at finding them third one today

nice quick easy find TFTC

Nice easy find. Sharpened the pencil and left for a well earned coffee after 5 finds for the day..
TFTC

Interesting "guns", quick drive-by. TFTC, Robmc!

A nice easy find before heading off to enjoy some fish and chips on the beach. We also enjoyed seeing all the fancy smancy cars in town for the weekend. Thanks for the cache.

This was our 1st cache find in the caching run & we found it at: 11:12.
This now makes our total find count 5726.

A really nice, quick find. We were really glad that this one isn't amagnetic micro.
[/blue]
Coordinate Accuracy: Excellent (Under 2 metres)
Cache Condition: Container and log book are in good shape.
Took: Nothing.
Left: Nothing.
Thanks Robmc for the hunt today.

Came back to find this one as last year cache was missing. Glad to tick it off our list.

Found it!!! Good cache and a nice sight to look at

Easy find in great spot!! Tftc

Pencil is broken and had a huntsman crawl up my arm but succeeded! Tftc!

Found this today after looking for this one some months ago. Believe this one has been replaced as found very easy this time. Thanks nice easy hide.

Beware of little creatures...

With our shocking history with cannon caches we were amused. TFTC

Good walk around town

A nice easy find to give us some satisfaction for our day full of unfound caches.
TFTC

Needed a quick one for today. We were disappointed when we came here last year. Love these guns.

This one had gone walkies when I was here a year ago. Today it wad an instant find and I was glad to get it off my nemesis list.

Found this one at 1300 on 13 Jan 13. Been past here many times but never visited inside the fort. Must do it some day soon now that it has finished as an Army establishment. SL TFTC Robmc. cloudglider

Grabbed this as one of about 40 in a nice weekend down on the coast.. It was the last weekend before I started back at work. I was keen to cache, and was encouraged down this way by the chance to Orienteer, Body Board and Cache.. I ended up also staying the night, although the original plan of attending an event at Ballan didn't eventuate.. Had a great weekend, thanks to the various cache owners for your part in a great weekend..

Found this one really easily after a DNF on a previous visit due to either it not being here, or there being too many watching eyes.. (I cant recall which).. Thanks Rob Mc for the cache.. Find #3372

A quick find this year after this one was AWOL during last year's pilgrimage to these sunny shores. TFTC

Impressive guns and buildings. Thanks

Found @ 4.20 pm
Log to follow

Found at 1:16 PM GAFF1. For a moment there we thought that we had to learn the hiding spots of 19th century cannons! We are expert on Howitzers only.
Thanks Robmc

The weather turned this afternoon so the only muggles were a few driving past. A quick park and grab was just what we needed in the wind and rain. Thanks Robmcs

Trying to catch up finds from months ago, apologies for the belated log.

3rd found in the company of Coley_Babee and dear hubby who agreed to join us for the drive.
Caching today to attend the local event plus some other caches.
Glad to have this gone from the list of caches in the area after DNFing this one one year ago.

Thanks again Robmc for this cache.

After attending the Buried Treasure event, and getting all the sand off me as best I could.... We continued on our way caching.

This one came up first, and after initially thinking this must be attached the the obvious evil structure, we were pleasently surprised to keep walking past!!!

Found nice and quick

A day out from the other side of Melbourne, we decided to do a few caches in the Queenscliff and Point Lonsdale area. a quick search around and cache was in hand. TFTC Robmc.

Found during a speedy day trip to Queenscliff - along with half the population of Melbourne.
Outwaited the muggles for a straightforward find. Signed the log and safely rebidden, just as found.
TFTC found with team cacher Sweet P too
The Turtle strikes again!

Lots of muggles but finally found it

Great cache. Had to wait before we could put it back tho due to muggle activities going in around us

The kids loved playing on the canons!! Micro, not a nano
