Great Views Over Port Phillip Bay Mornington, Victoria, Australia

Am Archiving so to re publish in a new location close by

Didn't find it, but I only looked for about 1.5 seconds. No offense intended, but these bush-bashing caches do nothing for me, especially when the bushes are full of broken bottles and when the bush looks like it's been damaged by previous search attempts.

Out with my boys and stopped here for lunch

Easy find once the muggles moved signed the log.

Find # 849 Found @21:57Hrs

The GLW wanted to go find some caches To-Nite so we decided to head South To-Nite to see how our luck would hold out.
Well this was the First of Eight for the night.

We decided to go for a drive south To-Nite to see how many caches we (Rigger & myself) could find well this one was the first on our way south.
It took a bit of looking to find this one but we got there in the end.

Found with teamverza on 11/09/12 @ 12.34 pm. Good spot - awesome view on this sunny!

Found @ 12.35pm in the company of BluPheonix. Quick find, but took awhile 2 replace it as 2 muggles decided 2 stop and have a chat 4 awhile, right near the spot.

Quick find great BBQ spot with smilingbob

Well, this one was too good for us today, searched above for about 20 minutes with no luck. Maybe next time.

Thanks skip2992

Yay! The first one our 7yo son has found. I knew he'd come in handy

Been here for 20 at picnic area JUST CANT FIND looked every where

Took a while but Natasha soon led us in the right direction and it was found. SL TFTC

Nearly gave up on this one. So much rubbish in scrub. Had one last look and couldn't believe my eyes. SL with pea bear. TFTC

Tried from the bottom, but then went around to the top and it was soon in hand

NO luck !Had to get to work will try another time.

Found it on cache mission with Fat_Jox84 on a night caching mission (geowifeys & geomates) TFTC SL

Found on a night mission with me and mrs Krazy k. TFTC SL TNLN

But tricky in the dark with torches casting shadows but we managed to find it...

Had a lopk for this one, didn't find it, but found lots of other stuff.

Too muggles had to give up

Still there I have made a little better now

After success at Flinders Discovery, this was the next cache on my list. Unfortunately, no luck in finding it - however, the views of the pier and bay from the beach were beautiful. Glad I brought my camera with me.

unfortunately another DNF on our cache raid with Grunterssms and Nufrat in the mornington peninsula. We took the high way we took the low way we climbed we crouched to no avail this cache has eluded us today.

Four DNF's in a row. I don't feel so bad now. We looked from above and from below. We scrambled through the bushes but to no avail. Thanks to Nufrat and Bexta for the extra pairs of eyes.
Great view. I love this part of the bay.

Nice view

Thanks great location...

TFTC

Back in Place and ready to go, New container and new hide hopefully a bit better

Will temp disable as it is coming up to Auss day anyway and this loc can get muggle city for the annual fireworks will replace after 26th Jan

Sorry for delay

Searched high and low in a muggle free area. sorry to say this one has gone missing. We enjoyed the search anyway. TFTH

MrsGaffy, the hubs and the Grls.
Managed GZ easily, but the prize was nowhere in sight.
Great location nonetheless.

Once i found the path that lead to the top frm the beach the cache was in hands. TFTC.

It took a few attempts to find this cache. I think I need more practice! TNLN

Very easy geocache with nice views. Found with some scouts and RocMonsta.

Judith and Charlene spent another day caching on the Mornington Peninsula, Visiting Mornington this time to do some caching in the lovely sunshine and with lovely views over Port Phillip Bay to Melbourne.

Cache very wet and being guarded by a bluetongue

Found this hide without too much trouble. TFTC.

What a nice place! Thank you

17:30. Out walking on the beach with geoson while we were down here on hols. "What a lovely walk" I thought. "I'll just fire up the Geocaching app". Sure enough - if you find yourself in a nice spot it's a good bet that a cacher has left something for you to find and this was no exception. Only 60m away when I fired up the iPhone. The best bit was when I looked in the wrong direction and geoson popped up with the cache in his hand saying "is this it?" His first genuine find without help - I'm so proud. We sat on a nearby bench to complete the fomalities. Son had to put it back because I didn't see where he grabbed it from. "Right here, silly!" he said. TFTC.

Found it with the help of my girlfriend and puppy. Great view.

found on second search. looked in the very wronf place last time. easy search this time

finally found this one after so many looks, turned out we were looking in the wrong spot, a few muggles but nothing a geobaby trying to walk couldnt distract them with.
TFTC

Found @ 4:40pm, find # 1011.
After having a couple of DNF's on this one a while ago due to muggling, I was finally able to get a find on this one.
the spot where it is hidden does not exactly match the clue but is out of sight and should be ok.
Thanks to skip2992 for this cache.

Wife led me to this one - grabbed it subtly it front of two VERY old muggles on the bench 3m away

Nice find on a beautiful day, great view. Tftc

Beautiful view,sparkly water,cloudless skies... I eventually found it! thank you!

Sorry for the late log. Nice location.

A quick cache here today as there was some peopel looking over the bay from the nearby seats.
We were able to get and replace the cache without being seen, and then we admired the beautiful views from this location.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks skip2992 for this cache and the gorgeous views it offers.

2011-07-23 17:09 Last time I was here I just could not find it. This time it was a nice easy find. TFTC.

Bit of searching for this one but eventually found! Disappointed to not see any mice! TFTC!

The cache name says it all really! It is amazing how many different spots here have such fantastic views. It is a great area to cache. Thanks skip2992 for the cache.

Was out in the open. Hidden as per co-ordinates. Lovely part of town. TFTC lntn

Found it after quick search.
Saw lots of little mice like animals which have made home in bushes near GZ.

Nice swift one. Thank you. Saw heaps of big mice here.

After a long lay-off from both caching and physical exertion, I decided to combine the two today and cycle around a few local caches.

This was the fifth find of the day. Had to make a couple of visits to this one as it was very busy with people eating chips and admiring the views.

Thanks for the cache.

It's in really good spot and awsome view of port phillip bay !!!! TFTC

Great cache! Thanks

Found by The Empire @ 12:50pm

Just logging my personal name tag to track my personal distance traveled.

Found with Debs22 and a very windy day. Spectacular view of waves crashing over the Mornington pier. TFTC

Hello, logging my personal tracker to calculate distance

TFTC, a very windy day but GZ provided very nice views of the waves crashing over Mornington pier.

4/06/11 3:54 PM Find #338 - fantastic view from here, but I had to wait a few minutes to grab the cache as a family came up the path and then took a rest at the seat leaving me to wait a few more minutes before grabbing the cache. TFTC.

We found this cache today at 3:45pm as the 24th of 36 on our Mornington Train Whistle Blowing Tour. We had just replaced the cache when abl973, who we had met at the previous cache, rocked up once more. Fantastic spot. Thanks from D & H B-A.

Found it with crank1.
Beautiful sunny day..
Great view
TFTC

Beautiful weather with full sunny today. Right weather for us to go there as no windy, no cold. Lovely to see the beach water so calm.
Found it with Alchemy2

Found at night with no torch, just our mobile phones for light. TFTC

TFTC! nice walk found at night time

As walenators was driving me around today, we came past this cache. Initially there was a muggle sitting in the general vicinity of GZ and we were going to drive off without even attempting it. As we turned the car around, I told walenator to wait as the muggle was on the move. Sure enough they left the area and we moved in. As walentors occupied the seat, I searched the area and found the nicely hidden cache. I love the fact that there are no nanos here in Victoria

Thanks for the cache and the greast views skip2992

Took Travel Bug

Cheers

When we got to GZ my dad was looking in one place and me and gibbo123 were looking somewhere else after my dad had found a plastic cup that he thought might have been the cache he looked somewhere else then I had a look where dad was looking and found it in plain sight it wasnt even hidden under bushes or anything!!! We hid it a little bit better after I made fun of my dad!!!!!!!!
TFTC SL TNLN

Found 15:50, a great location and a great cache.

TNLN, CSI=4, thanks skip2992.

Visited to give trackable Young Duck a nice view while he waits for someone to take him further on his journey to SA.
Left it a bit late and found cache under torch light. Probably for the best as there were no muggles around which I imagine is usually quite a challenge. Signed log and left Young Duck.

Sensational Views Over Port Phillip Bay.
A nice quick find as soon as we were muggle free.
TNLNSL

Quick easy find in a beautiful spot. It was sitting right out in the open so we tucked it away a little more. Made a swap and signed the log. TFTC

Over from the UK and using geocaching as an excuse to explore the area!
nice location great views of the city.
Thanks for the cache!

Out today with some ex pat friends who I think I may have converted. Easy find. T4TC

Busy spot indeed still managed to retrieve and come back when muggles had moved on

Quick find, no muggles about in our time. Great views. SL.
TFTC, Merann.

Nice quick find! TFTC

Just realised I failed to log this one. It was a beautiful day with the bay like glass... and a muggle enjoying it all before collecting his children from school. Meant a little wait but it wasn't hard.

What a delight to find the cache at this spot after struggling with the earlier version being muggled out of existence. gave me opportunity for a lesson in using the GPS better than I have been...GrahamT

Great spot! A wedding was taking place just down the beach so we had some lovely music to look to!

Busy is the word took quite some skill to get this one out, with muggle to the left muggles, muggles to the right, achieved the deed in the end, nothing like dropping a camera case and retrieving it plus more

I could see this one as I walked up. Managed to retrieve and log without the muggles cottoning on to what we were up to. Replaces with a little more cover. I hope this lasts. Thanks.

Back in Action, Bigger Container, Different Location

Back in Action
Good Luck

Have checked and it has gone "AGAIN ARGGGH" will ponder what to do with this one and try and replace

This is the second time we have had a look for this one with no luck, the first time we didn't realize that it had been disabled at the time and that it was not there, so we had another look today and no luck again, we looked in the place that seemed obvious, so either we were looking in the wrong spot, or we are blind or it has gone again, I think I will watch this spot for further updates.
Thanks anyway skip2992 hopefully it is still there.

Scouted this spot a couple of times in the last couple of days and logic says where it should be, confirmed today by GPS but nothing discernible. Has it been disturbed again? GrahamT

Great view

Back in place and ready to be found

Had a look today and it is MIA
will try & replace ASAP

Looked everywhere for this cache even used clue but nowhere to be found. Have found this cache once before but forgot to log it so cahce may be missing

Couldn't Find it

We got to take in the views, and also observe a wedding over the way.

...But cache was nowhere to be seen! [xx(]
(We'd come with Zippi_Russ who has found it previously, and had their confirmation that it wasn't where they found it.)

Thanks anyways skip2992.
