Uncovered this cache after 2 years and 2 months of deep sleep 
A helpful bloke has a public bookmark list of possibly findable archived caches, I was happy to discover this one was still in situ. Avoiding the prickly bushes and looking behind the one thick tree, the cache was resting and the logbook inside had dried black mould on the borders of the pages. I could easily read Romax's log, I left my stamp and continued caching in the area. Cool stuff.

Found by Roma and Max.
We were also unaware that this cache had been archived and indeed found the container, with its resident cockroaches.
We left our mark in the log and were glad we were unaware of the cache status as you did bring us to a very impressive Bocce centre!

Found on a nice sunny Friday log book is completly wet and zip lock bag has rip in it, seems the container lid is missing a sealing rubber to keep it water tight, managed to dry a couple of pages with lighter but will need a new log book
It was a little too chilly for bocce and muggles today. The cache was pretty exposed and waterlogged so I dried it out as best I could and then replaced it in the likely spot. I don't think the lid is sealing completely so the log was a little soggy - may need to be replaced. L glass easter egg.
Nice quick find close to the train station on a cold, windy and cloudy day. TFTC!
First find for the day while travelling up to Albury to meet up with my good mate Marshy (Blacklegend17). Found the cache and managed to avoid getting too prickled. TFTC.
HMMMM others have already said about the wetness. Lid doesn't seem to fit properly either. Looks like fresh shrubbery is being planted, so may be get muggles so needs to be checked soon by owner.
Found and signed wet log TFTC TNLN
Grabbed a handful on an out and about day of caching.. Thanks for the cache.. I struggled with muggles however got it in the end after abit of poking around.. Thanks for the cache pocket rocket and friends..

TFTC, found on the way home after our weekend in Melbourne.
SL.......Cheers.
SL.......Cheers.
TFTC - stopped past on the way home for a quick find. Nice easy find.
Took nothing, dropped off a little gold toy coin, signed log book.
The container wasn't sealing too well and may need to be looked at.

Dropped in here today and it looked as though a muggle had made an entry in the logbook.
The lid was off and it was lucky the contents were not wet.
Replaced as best I could.
Thanks

Went to find the girls nannu he wasn't there so decided to look for the cache and busli sormi my wife found it before me!
Found in the early morning while only dogs were walking their muggles around, TFTC.
Found while on the way home from Melbourne. 1 of 2 for the day. Would have done more but was in a big rush. I used to live in Epping, in fact grew up there when it wasn't much more than a country town. This is like coming home for me. And yes, i did get prickled.

Dropped by with the family in tow on the way back from the Epping Bowls to find this one. (btw I hadn't been bowling in 10 years and I'm still atrocious {my 2 year old beat me using a ramp! 
} but I had fun 
)
As soon as we were within 40m of GZ I thought " Hmmmmm... Acacia paradoxa, that's going to hurt". We fared OK but I can see from the logs that a few others had more trouble with this prickly plant.

Cheers PR@F, thanks for bringing us here. It's rare but always fun to go caching with the whole family.

The twilight was holding so we made a play for this cache (on a roll) and the container was found around 5:40pm (ouch! those prickles [:(!]). TNLN Thanks PR&F
Cache was found easily enough on a nice day. I had taken a while to get here but after having been in Delhi last week was praising Melbourne Traffic. Two minutes later I saw one of the arrogant actions that make you really wonder about some Melbourne drivers! At least the Indians were cognisant of other road users. Thanks for the Cache.
Found at 3.45pm after some shopping chores nearby. Although the log was dry the container had water in it which we tipped out. TNLN TFTC
After a short visit to the mall, I had to look for this one. The park was completely empty after the hard rain. 100% mugglefree!
Only a tiny dog, which was totally wet, followed me on the route.
THX for showing this area!
Found by Andi. 18:00h. #49 and #2 in Australia!
No trade!
The box isn't 100% closely, some water was inside, I wiped it out with an paper towel. The logbook is still dry.

With a very light month nearly at an end and a beautiful evening to be out-and-about on offer, I thought it might be a good idea to head over here and see if we could find this newie. There was no-one much around, including bocce players, so we had full run of GZ where we quickly had the stash in hand at 20:00.
TNLNSL, although our BYO pen geocoin had a visit to mark the occasion. Thanks pocketrocket&friends.

YAY!!!!!!
FTF (with peachyburston) @ 1:40am
though i was the one who had to brave the prickle bushes!!!!
Was at peachyburston's and about to leave when I check my emails, but it was agreed we'd give it a miss considering it was after midnight, so drove home, then couldn't resist a chance for a FTF, so jumped back in the car and picked up peachyburston - I'm a little embaressed at the time we went out!
did this without the GPS, I couldn't get a signal, but relied on the map and the clue (and a torch) for the find!

Dragged along with BubblzDee, anxious to snare her first FTF (after several botched attempts).
She has the glory of the FTF.. I have the glory of attaching the photos to prove it.
Although tramping around in the dark at 1:40 in the morning made the cache a little more challenging.
