Temporarily disabled due to two did not finds. Will have a look during the week and enable the cache once checked or replaced.
After a little climb, cache was in hand. Needs some maintenance though as the log is quite wet and is becoming difficult to sign.

lol should have called it Tradie Drive By...... there was that many tradies looking at me standing there that i'm sure that a couple thought that i up to no good.
GPS still not taking me quite to GZ on my second attempt but with a little sense I had the cache in hand.
Found on a drizzly Sunday morning.
Nice spot in an area we know well.
Many thanks for the hide.

This was our second attempt - first time was a quick visit and this time we used the clue and had no problems. TFTC!
Being a girl and on my own for this one took awhile to find in the dark and a few spiders but with the help of the hint found it - thanks Davidman
Nice easy find in the second place that I looked. The road sure is a busy one, I had to time my search between driving muggles, walking muggles and cycling muggles.
Road gets busy late in the afternoon, found cache after a bit of searching. TFTC.

After picking up a new car for the spouse, we decided to a quick cache nearby. Found in the second place we looked. TFTH...SL...TNLN
It was nice and quiet near this cache at lunch time, no muggles anywhere. Must have been a bad day for satellites though because my GPSr wanted me to search a good 8 metres from GZ, about on the road. I resorted to the hint and soon had the cache in hand. SL. TFTC.
#300 woot woot!!. Kay got out and started searching with Cee, after a quick search Cache was in hand!! Off to dinner in Pakenham! TFTC
Too many cars driving back and forth (after work). Didn't stick around long, will try again.
Temporarily disabled for maintenance to dry out and replace the log. Should be back by the end of the weekend.
Found 1430hrs, had to wait for a muggle to leave - not sure what he was doing for so long. Logbook very wet. TFTC
Cache was soaked through when we found it, SL, sealed it up as best we could. Found with literaturekitty, TFTC
Easy find once the car sitting on it moved on. Big houses = more cleaning. Caching is more fun than cleaning Happy in my shoe box.
Nice quick find. As we pull up there was a other car sit basically on top of cache. Weren't sure if they were cachers. We turned around, but they drove off.

Suscoe made a reasonably quick find here, feeling a little exposed but what a terrific view of some very big houses!

Today I was on a caching run starting in the Beaconsfield area with my good mate and caching partner in crime sedgwickdave.
Arrived at GZ, this one is almost a drive by. we had to wait for a few muggles in cars to pass by before searching. Dave made the quick find while I discovered it was a bit of a dumping ground for muggles to throw theit bags of dog poo.
Thanks to davidman again for the cache.

Found @1250 #852
This was the 4th find today on a caching run along the Princes Hwy from Beaconsfield to Pakenham and the surrounding areas with my good mate and caching partner in crime ahomburg.
This was almost a Drive-by with the cache found quickly. What was intresting is that the concrete structure has been cast with a wood grain surface, from a distance you would think its wood.
The log was a little damp but quite signable still.
TFTC davidman, another of yours found today.

Wandered around the structure and found the cache in the second spot that I tried. With the new houses popping up across the road, I wonder if this one will become more difficult to find. Thanks for the cache.
Out on our usual Monday night caching run, this time accompanied by rain and cold weather. We headed south today to clear some caches in the area and some which I have not done. Slowly but surely, we moved east instead of going further down till Pakenham when we made a turn and headed back towards the city. Caching in the cold weather isn't much fun but anywho we still needed to do what's necessary.
I had about 30 finds tonight and we had a few DNF's.
This was one of our finds. Found easily. Clues were quite accurate which made it easier. TFTC davidman

After last nights aborted effort for night time caching (having a bad cold and all) I decided to get out and about today and get some fresh air into my lungs. The problem of course now is where to start. All caches from home are now some distance and after last nights effort I was concerned with caches in Berwick coming up as DNF. But I tried again and had a very successful job of it in Berwick, Officer and Pakenham. A nice little drive up a hill. I parked with nobody around and scrabbled to find a nice easy find. Thanks davidman for another one today.
Easy find right where my GPS was pointing.. late night find and thus no muggles in sight.. Thanks Davidman for the hide.. Dipped night caching coin, GPS TB and Anthony the Ant TB to mark the occasion.. find # 1423
The Chief was having a gentleman's look and walking in circles looking at the GPSr. Goodness!! So I got out of the car and found it for him, phew! TFTC
nice easy find on our way to our granddads.
Geosister found it

An evening out caching after work had me looking for this cache.
If I had of read the hint first it would of made my search a bit easier as there are alot of little hidy holes around here.

I was picking up a few caches around Berwick before heading home after a drive around the country to the north and I seemed to remember going for another (davidman?) cache in this spot a fair while back. It was a multi, if I remember, and had a couple of containers really close together in this same reserve. Anyway, this one wasn't as tricky as the old one and I came up with the film canister in a short time.

My GPS led me to one side, but after searching all around, I expanded the search and eventually found the cache. I remember coming here once before, but that was obviously for the archived cache. Thanks for this one.
Grandkids found it while I watched for mugglers, good hide in a very open spot.

My second go at this one and this time with a bit of help. It was not where the hint said it should be which didn't help my case the first time. It is now. Thanks davidman.
This was the last cache of 33 for the day in the company of Alansee and Rabbitto on a huge day caching around the Waragul area. I was glad we were with a previous finder on this one as it was not where the hint suggested. My thanks to davidman for the cache.
Had what we thought was a good look around. The hint suggested we were in the right place, but we couldn't find it. Had to move quite a lot of rubbish that seemed to have been washed down by recent rain, but still no luck. Hope the rain hasn't washed it away.
10.50am. I had come from england and teamed up with the madwizzard for 3 days caching,i drove a hire car and he navigated,we arrived here for a bit of a search untill after a while there it is simply hidden but so effective, at one time we wondered if we would find it,a good prize in a good location thank you.sltn.patandjeff=bones1.
I teamed up with bones1 today... Thanks bones1, I think we made a good team After a quick search we had the cache in hand at 09:49 and signed it.

Unable to find after search using clue, lots of rubbish in area bit cautious in case of needles etc probably not the best spot for the cache but thanks anyway.

Um, not so terribly nice as a cache location. I didn't see the purpose of this location nor the film canister.
Took nothing, left nothing.

I set out tonight to locate a number of caches between Drouin and Pakenham. The fog about made the travelling very slow as visibility was down to 30m in some cases. 12th find for the night. No muggles about and a nice hide and quick find. TFTC.
Looked on wrong side first, then headed away from the rubbish filled side!! had cache easily in hand after moving through some of the clued objects
Found at 1pm, probably looked a little weird to some of the passers by!!

I searched for a fair while on the fringe, but only came across lots of rocks and rubbish. Once I ventured a bit further I finally came across what I was looking for. I didn't see anything made of the substance mentioned in the clue!
Based on some of the comments made, I will check the cache over the weekend and ensure that it is still in the correct place. I actually thought it would be a pretty quick and easy find.
2nd go today, and as we had stopped bleeding all over the place we could go back to try again. This time around it was a quick find, do not know why I could not see it last time though. Thanks davidman for the cache.
We reckon we gave this one a fair bash today (in more ways than one) but still could not find the cache. Maybe we were in the wrong place because the wall was concrete and not wood but there were steel pillars there. I know because I slipped and cracked my head on one of the steel flanges on the rear pillar. For that I got a lot of blood, a headache and no cache. We moved quite a few rocks, loads of rubbish but still no cache. Maybe the owner can check one day..
