Hi there team_coxy,

This cache has been flagged by Geocaching HQ as a cache that **MAY** need some attention.

You may recall having received an automated email from Geocaching HQ which explained what you needed to do.

Unfortunately, nothing seems to have happened, so the cache is being temporarily disable - see here: [**Geocache Health Score.**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=713)

**You do need to respond to this enquiry in some way within 14 days, so others know you are on top of it, as well as indicating exactly what is happening with this placement - please don't let a lack of communication scuttle this listing.**

#What should you do now:-#
You have a number of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:-

- **Check On The Cache:-** Visit the cache to check, repair, replace or do whatever else is needed, post an [**Owner Maintenance log**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) indicating the cache has been checked and [**ENABLE your cache.**](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ) Then sit back and wait for the logs of praise to roll in.

- **Place A Write Note Log:-** Reviewers are not mind readers (more's the pity), so without your note on the cache page explaining that the site works are on-going, you have been in hospital, the area is in flood, or some other reason that has prevented attending to the cache, they can't tell what is going on.
You need to post a note to the page (within 14 days) explaining the situation and when a Reviewer next looks at the listing, all will be fine for a little bit longer.
Be sure to indicate **the actual date that you expect to have it fixed** so that everyone knows you are on top of it. If you have a long term unavailable cache (where you don't have an actual date) please **post a Write Note log every 4 to 6 weeks,** so as to keep everyone up to speed.

- **Adopt/Archive:-** If you don't plan on fixing it then you could consider passing it on to another Geocacher by asking them to [**Adopt it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=54) or alternatively, you need to [**Archive it,**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=56) so it is removed from searches and someone else can have the spot. Don't forget to remove any remnants of your previously enjoyed cache too.

You might wonder what happens if you don't pick one of the above. Well, when the cache is next checked by a Reviewer, if the issue has not been addressed, or there is no acknowledgment as requested above, it will be assumed the cache has been abandoned and processed accordingly.

Honestly, it's better for you to decide, so please do something before then. Please don't send me an email but instead follow the information/advice posted above.

Thanks for your cooperation,

Bunjil

DNF it wasn't anywhere, spent so long looking never found it

Spent a while searching GZ getting poked but no luck.

One of the signs at the posted coordinates is missing, and you are now no longer able to obtain the information for EFGH.

Log to follow

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

What a fab spot for a lookout! 360 views took lots of photos while scourering the info signs for the relevant clues! As others have said Google can step in for the blank sign..look up Charles Aloysius WIlson. Thanks so much for the cache!

TFTC missing year is guesstimatable

Took me ages to spot this, and I wondered Nth when it was so obvious !

Thanks team_coxy for Waterfront Views

Perfect winter afternoon to find caches along the beach today! Cold. Rainy. Windy. Excellent! Hardly any muggles around

I had answered the questions with help from Google in the comfort of my home (having taken some bad photos one evening of the plaques). Once at the GZ, I observed a geotrail, and soon had the cache in hand. TFTC

Too confusing
And was a missing sign

It tool so long

We are loving being next to the beach on a warm day like today. We came to the spot where we needed to find our information and made quick work of most of the info. One of the signs was missing but we e guesstimated that info and after a quick Google search our guestimation was confirmed and off we went. We enjoyed the walk, the sun started hiding and the breeze was so refreshing! We went the wrong way to start but happily stayed on our trail until we could correct it and made our find fairly quickly! FP from us!

Was nearby today and this one was showing up as 'solved' on my map, so thought I would have a look. Waited for muggles to move along and then quickly grabbed and sat on the bench to sign.

I was trying to remember when we originally started this one and looking back on my phone it was around October last year, so nice to finish it off today! TFTC

CJDenno and I had solved the final coordinates for this a few months ago but every time we went to go there, there was too many muggles. So being a particularly bad weather day, we decided to give it another search. Fortunately, no muggles and we soon had the container in our hands. There was lots of swag inside, and a funny log from a muggle that said that they had found it but was confused what it was about. We soon signed our names, returned the cache, and happy that we could finally tick this one off.

I visited 3 TB

TFTC

I have had this one solved for about 3 months now and every time I think to go and grab it, there is always a lot of activity around here. So being a cooler and very windy afternoon, I wondered if the Muggle factor would be low. It was pretty good so I had a clean walk into GZ and then a little hunt and soon enough the cache was in hand without any hindrance from the Muggles.
There seems to a bit of treasure in here and whilst interesting, I wasn’t keen to take anything on board myself.
The logs were a bit interesting and I did read a log from an obvious Muggle that stated “Found this box whilst we had lunch. Very confused”. Lol.
Anyway, the log was soon signed and I decided to return the cache back where I found it and made sure it was well covered. No muggles around me, but plenty out in the water kiteboarding in the windy conditions.
The cache, container and log are in excellent condition.
I visited 5 TB.
TFTC team_coxy.

Access by train & on foot on a sultry summer day. A nice challenge to enter waypoint without a pen; just recall the letter-number positions. Thankfully it all worked out and a well sealed Sistema doing a fine job at GZ. Continued to Sandy beach for sustenance. TFTC

Despite one of the signs with info required no longer being there. I was able to guess the numbers missing accurately .
A nice walk and quick find with geo parents thanks

Spent a good 10+ minutes looking for it, but in the end gave up as the place became busier.

Guess I'll try for it next year when I'm at the Christmas party at the local pub.

I'd collected the clues a while back but it was too busy that day to search without a lot of patience. Today, my bubble buddy wanted to walk from Brighton to Beaumaris, and this find was the first stop. It still took a while - my buddy taking photos while I scrummaged around in between joggers and walkers. The view was fantastic today - a little cloud cover and we could see beyond the other side of the bay! Thanks team_coxy for the cache

#1886 Last week on our "permitted exercise" we dropped by and took pics of the panels. Next day worked out the puzzle + a bit of on-line research for the missing panel. Then today it was an excuse to take geo-dog for a walk beachside. Took longer than expected to find the cache which gave geo-dog plenty of time to get covered in bindi's. TNLNSL. TFTC team_ coxy.

whoooo finally found it

This was our first ever geocache! I enjoyed hunting for the clues to make up the Geolocation but as a first timer it took a little while to solve the clues, particularly with the panel missing, by the way, it was once there and I suspect someone from a photo of it, can you guess who? Also finding it was not as easy as I thought, but after a bit of hunting it turned up!

We needed to guess part of it as one of the info boards was gone… but fairly logical when you think about it!

With blues skies and the sun shining you would think it was a perfect day for caching, but no, the wind whipping across the bay made it very deceivingly chilly. That however didn't stop us working our way down this side of the bay on our first caching trip since lockdown restrictions were lifted. We really enjoy this area and we are delighted to come back and pick up more solved puzzles as well as work through multi's and labcaches.
Standing out on the viewing platform collecting the info was comical as my hair whipped around my face making it hard to read the interpretive boards.......where is that damn hair tie of mine??? We failed to get one answer as there is a board missing but with some numbers plugged into the GPS, it was logical which way we were heading.
Moving the car along to another carpark we were able to begin the search at GZ in between muggles. It was a little tricky but eventually the container was discovered in a logical location.
Thanks team_coxy for the waterfront views and the placement here for us to enjoy.

One of the signs is missing. We couldn’t get the year Charlie Wilson died… ️

Out with xambo4u, we laughed our way through a slow day, with a few hitches along the way. This is a beautiful viewing place and great information signs about the area. We worked out the numbers needed, then moved on to GZ. After a search, we found the well hidden cache.
Thanks thanks for placing this lovely multi, team_coxy.

Out and about with echidna44 for another enjoyable day. Things did not start well and continued that way. Always find this area the same parking is tricky and information incomplete. We managed to get most of the information and fudged the rest. Could not even find it on google. Decided to go back to the car and drive to GZ. That sort of day. It is a beautiful area to enjoy. After searching for a while and resorting to clue we finally had it in hand and took the seat to make our mark. Cache in excellent condition. Lovely area team_coxy

Thank you for such a beautiful view. On a long walk down the coast today, and a great stop to rest! I was able to get one of the clues from Dr Google! Otherwise all good Easy Find! Dropped a teachable off!

We were in the area to grab a new LEGO kit and took an opportunity to visit the beach. Found most of the required coordinates, guessed the rest and headed off for a wander and a search.

Lovely spot to stop for a snack and after a few seconds the container revealed itself. TFTC and the adventure.

Was going to give up but figured it out just as we were leaving

My history tells me I attempted this cache 5 years ago and failed. Today with the help of emandel I succeeded in finding it. TFTC!

Charles A Wilson plaque is missing, but guessed the coordinates without it. Cache took a little longer to find than it should have, but got there in the end. Thank you for the nice hide!

Sadly not today, did not find at 10:31 am
Finally, a day for geocaching and not being one to look a gift horse in the mouth, I decided it shall be Multi Friday.
Sadly, this is damaging the bush a little bit. Could not find today.
**Thanks for placing this cache team_coxy**

Big things are continuing to happen in Victoria! *Are you joining in the fun?*
[**The Whittlesea Event 2020**](https://coord.info/GC8EW40)
*14th & 15th November 2020 - GC8EW40 - Whittlesea - Victoria*

It's unbelievable: Yesterday we looked for this one invain, because we (i.e. me [B)]) forgot to read the listing and, hence, didn't recognize that this was a multi. So, we searched at the starting point - without a chance, of course. [B)]

Later I revealed the obvious mistake and today we returned to the place, collected all the information, headed along to the final and found the big and well-filled box quickly.

Thank you for this nice cache at the waterfront.

Day 4 and the final one of a dedicated geo-weekend away with Kestal and Scratches...after a massive few days of caching we hit a few caches that were of interest for varying reasons before heading to the airport. It was blowing a gale so we quickly gathered and crunched the numbers. On a nicer day we may have walked but not today...so cold! A complete 180 change in the weather from yesterday. A short walk from our convenient carpark and we found a well concealed container. TFTC team_coxy.

We enjoyed collecting the clues for this one as we didn't have to go too far. Worked out GZ and decided to drive to make the find as us northerners were not coping very well with the icy breeze!

TFTC

This was the next hide on the list for Eskies5, Scratches and I to find on our last day in Melbourne. I think I was suffering from the chilly winds and was little help in getting the necessary numbers to get to GZ. Happy that Eskies5 and Scratches were and with a final GZ to head to that steered me in the right direction even if I felt a little doubtful . With searching started it was taking longer than I wanted as the winds were very chilly today but soon Eskies5 called out that she had it and we could sign our names. TFTC and bringing us to the area team_coxy

I've solved the coordinates earlier, but just today came to grab this one. Beautiful warm day for caching. Tftc! TB in

It was good to avenge a prior DNF on this one. I had already done the workings out (obviously), but had to wait here today while a muggle took selfie’s with her dog... Thanks for placing the cache team_coxy.

Have checked this and it is still within 1m of gz. All good to be found.

Checked and all good to go.

Perhaps the CO might want to confirm the container is still in its hide. Thanks!

A spare half a day in Melbourne before work tomorrow. Brighton bathing boxes were the main attraction but while you're here, you'll of course do some of the local caches, too.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Will check that this hasn't gone

I assume it's there I'm just awful at these haha

What a beautiful afternoon for geocaching.
Left work late and was waiting for the traffic to die down before heading for home.
What better cache to get than one with waterfront views.
An easy multi and a quick find.
TFTC

This was an entertaining and pretty easy multi. I went for a nice walk at 6am to find it. This is one of the best parts of Melbourne

My family and I are on holidays from Brisbane and this is our last day in Melbourne. We decided to dodge the crowds going to the Grand Final by driving down along the St Kilda waterfront to Green Point where we parked and were lucky enough to be handed a prepaid parking ticket by someone who was leaving. We walked along the beach to the bathing boxes for the obligatory photos then back to the car where we gathered our picnic lunch and occupied one of the tables nearby. We met a very friendly young Pup who thought running away from his HuMum was a lot of fun.
I wandered over to the lookout and gathered the required information to work out the next set of coordinates and after packing up our lunch we headed of in the right direction.
Once at the GZ, we had to wait around inconspicuously for a muggle to relocate himself as he was sitting right where we needed to look.
Cache was located quickly once the coast was clear and log was signed.
Thanks for the lovely stroll along the foreshore.

My family and I are down on holiday from Brisbane and this was our last day here so we headed to Brighton for a look around and walk along the beach to see the bathing boxes. After having lunch at Green Point, mum (Clan-mess) gathered the info we needed and we headed off the the next set of co-ords only to find a muggle right where we needed to look. We waited closeby and when he left we pounced.
TFTC

I failed to find this back in March (no excuse) and was very pleased to rectify that today. It was the furthest point in a rather long walk from home along the beach path in the spring sunshine, and I really wanted to turn the blue frown into a yellow smile. Today I found it right away. Go figure. It’s a lovely spot and I really enjoyed the views back towards the city as I approached Green Point from the Brighton Baths. TFTC and the local history.

Enjoyed the lookouts at both the given coordinates and GZ. Took a bit of searching, and even had to use the clue, but the cache was happily found and signed. TFTC!

TFTC

While in the area for sport, we thought we would collect some caches in the area. We focused mostly on puzzles and a few needed for challenges, but did grab a few near ones too.

The listed coordinates does have a lovely looking platform, with interesting signs and a great view. However it is very exposed to the elements and the windy was pretty strong when working out the solution. However that did keep the many people in the area away.

Then walking to the GZ, I saw the geocache container completely exposed from the path just sitting on a rock. Everything inside was exactly as expected. Signed the log and returned undercover where I expected it was supposed to be.

Thanks for the cache team_coxy
Hunter

Oh joy! That was a fun, easy find. I needed to do a little cut and paste from local coords to answer one of the questions though thankfully had cache in hand. Favourite from me team_coxy for your effort with this hide and for getting me out of the house on a miserable Winters day.

I had a DNF on this over 5 years ago! Was in the neighbourhood to pick something up and decided to give it another go. Had the place to myself.....it was freezing and very close to raining but I managed a successful find so well worth it TFTC ....at last
No sign of the TB logged in here ️

A quiet Sunday afternoon with no real plans so I decided on a drive to collect a few caches as I chase my 1000th regular and my 5000th cache. This morning a much easier find. The old boots are still there too! Thanks to team_coxy for the placement and fun.

With a few DNFs, will disable this one till I can get and check it.

Well, checked this tonight and all is well. Restocked the container and added a pen then rehid. All good to go.

Solved the puzzle several weeks ago, but was heading in the opposite direction along the beach path, so didn't collect. I kind of wish I had made the extra effort now, because no luck for me today. It was a horrid day for it TBH, all rainy and squally and it was hard to search with my hair in my face. I'm pretty sure I was in the right vicinity, and I gave it a good go, but couldn't help but notice two preceding DNFs. I will monitor and come back in some less torrid weather and when some others have found it. This little blue sad face will haunt me!

At GZ which seemed good and matched hint. Found 6 bottle and 2 boots. But no cache. Thanks to team_coxy for the fun. Will be back

After gathering the required information, we headed off to our calculated GZ. It was hot, it was steamy, there were muggles and we were tired. Nope, we didn’t find it! TFTH team_coxy

It took me a bit longer to get the coordinates because of one piece of info that I just chose to find in the info panels....

Look beyond my dear...

Then finding the cache was after a nice stroll at the beach

We finally made the find after a puzzle solved fan too long a walk for the GIO kids because now we have to walk back. We came to the beach after attending a party not too far away and to make a treasure find. Geoboy left a little bottle of bubbles that he got in his party bag.

It was a lovely day to wander around this bayside area looking for caches. A nice easy multi with great views of the coast.

... but not the fault of the cache.
More like me not giving myself enough time when I purchased the parking ticket. Logging the DNF so I don't forget to come back.... with more than 3 minutes to spare

Spectacular views here. Coordinates fairly easily found and the cache turned out to be not quite far enough away to justify driving, but just far enough away for a good walk (although with less spectacular weather I might have reconsidered). At GZ, there were a few pieces of rubbish around that looked like they might have been the cache, but it didn't take long to find the real thing, TFTC!

two german backpackers found it ! Me and a friend of mine used the cache to find a nice view! We got two !
TFTC - Maronski

Find 1886
At WP1 we came across some very interesting info signs. It was fun getting the clues and then off to sit down and work out the coords for GZ. Not too far away on the bikes so off we go. At GZ we scanned the area as we waited for some muggles to disappear. This took a little while and then geowife said it is here. log was signed and returned where found.
Thanks team-cosy for putting this good multi out there.

Yay, looked in wrong place for a while!

Pretty sure I got the maths right, but not the nicest weather to search for too long and give a D1 i called it a day

On the hunt for multi caches and regular sized caches and some rest and relaxation.
Also wanting to drop off a Geocoin.
This one ticked all the boxes.
What an absolutely fantastic day down the beach.
Cache was found sitting on top of the camouflage.
I replaced it underneath.
Thanks for the views and the smiley team_coxy.

Had to go to Hampton for a dental appointment this afternoon, so to ease the (upcoming) pain a little I left work a bit early and found three caches along the way.

This was find #2, and something of a target of opportunity, as my walking route from the previous find took me right past the viewing platform, and so with a little time to spare I did some reading, sat at a nearby table with pen and paper and got a final location that looked like it made sense, then headed off once more.

GZ matched the hint and within seconds I had the very decent sized container in hand. Unfortunately I didn't have any swag to drop in, so signed the log and replaced it before headed off.

Thanks for the cache, team_coxy, and for the combination history/culture lesson!

Think we found the hiding spot but maybe some muggles got to it

22:18
The wind was a bit chilly, and the view on this moonless night was probably not at its best. The lights in other directions were pretty, on the other hand. I stopped to read and learn about the history of the area, then got back into the car for a short drive, and an even shorter walk. All in good nick, team_coxy. Thanks for the smiley.

Last June, my attempt at a month long multi challenge was abortive to say the least... well that's not quite true; real life and the weather conspired to turn a promising start into a late mad rush that was doomed, with the final nail in the coffin a foray that consisted of caches that either totally bombed out, were inaccessible at the late hours I had available, or, as is often the case here in Melbourne, had final coordinates that were hundreds of kilometres away, up a mountain or way up a tree. And sometimes all of the above. In the end, a baker's dozen was the tally with a work week remaining, and there was work to do.

This month, as I rapidly approach a milestone, the quest is on again.

#3963

#227

Never have I seen a multi with quite so many variables. I was riding home from patrol when I decided to get this one, little did I know the oncoming amount of addition. After finally digging through all the information I got the waypoint and headed off. Unbeknownst to me I had accidentally selected my own cache and was heading towards that. Luckily, however, there wasn't too much of a detour required. waited for a muggle to pass by then quickly retrieved the cache while battling for balance against the absurd winds.

This cache is so easy once you understand it. Went on a bike ride down there. Picked up the trackable.
Tftc
~Willfin

Today we travelled with the train to Brighton Beach to walk all the way back to St. Kilda. This lookout was our first stop. After gathering the needed information we went straight to GZ. It took a while to find the container. We didn't expect it there. Too easy!
Thanks for showing! Tftc

**Find #1468**

I love it when a plan comes together without a hitch. I was in the area today and targeted this cache. Parked right near the observation deck. Paid $1 for about 10mins of parking. Grabbed the required info and enjoyed the views. Took some happy snaps. Then I had to run an errand. Once that was done, I returned to park not far from GZ. Unloaded the geo-treadlie, and off I went. Parked at GZ, sat down, enjoyed the view and grabbed the cache. How easy is that. A great place to visit.

Thanks **team coxy**

TFTC.

I was planning a little trip to the area and looking at what was available. I saw this hadn't been found for a little while and looked further... Ahah. Signs have possibly been removed. I applied extreme powers of Googling. You know how if a super hero needs an extra bit of their super power they adopt a stance and say something really really cool, and then a beam of light hits them, and they can suddenly do extra super things. Well, that what I did. Super Google boosts gave me the information I needed and I got a plausible location which looked good when compared to the clues that other people left in their logs. I am sorry to say I didn't even look for the signage which may or may not be there. I parked in a side street a bit beyond the final coordinates, and walked back toward them, so I missed that entirely. I have seen the info though, and that's partly what counts? Right? Anyway...
I approached the location which was empty of people, and very shortly, I had a box in my hand. Noice.
The contents were in reasonable condition, and I signed a dry logbook.

Thank you for the lovely views, team Coxy.

Couldn't get the numbers to work out it seems some of info is missing

It took us a long time to find but was great when we did! Swapped and logged. Thanks for making it.

Took a bit of hunting and a fast running out of torch battery, but found. No pen so a photo. Tftc

DiamonJs and I are logging a find on this one even though we have not signed the log, we did the sums, we walked and ummm we are not going there today, so go for a walk come back and umm we still are not going there, really do not people have morals anymore. Happy to provide pics of where we were. TFTC

I rarely do this but I am logging without having signed the log, we did the maths, we did it twice, then we walked to GZ (and this was after walking from St Kilda to the cache), then it was, really people you want to do that, get a room, we left, we came back and there was no way we were getting close to that cache, yew hope it is cleaned soon. I loved the questions asked and as always I go back to google and look for more info, isn't that what caching is about. hope this is ok with the CO but I feel we really earned this smilie. TFTC - great cache just wrong couple at GZ but wow what a view they had.

Genyo and I were down for the mega from Brisbane and were getting a few caches beforehand. We parked and made our way to where we could answer our questions and quickly had some co ords. We went for a lovely walk and sat at GZ and located the cache pretty quick. Tftc!

Visiting Melbourne for the mega with Dawey321 and decided to head out on a morning of caching. This one pop up and was nearby. Got the coords and headed for GZ. Great cache. TFTC

It's a wonder this one is not done more often (maybe the fee for parking puts people off)
I was in the area collecting another multi that I spied this one and enjoyed the view Sunday afternoon and collected the necessary data.
After being happy with the coordinates- today I had work in the area so found the cache pretty quickly with no one around on a windy Monday. Happy to say it is intact,dry and ready for the next finder.
I appreciate the work that went into this multi.

Good fun

It was a pretty rainy Sunday following another depressing Richmond Tigers loss the night before. It's like the heavens were crying, too. But that's another story.

Went out to the Green Point platform and got all the requisite info, then did the maths and headed out to the cache spot. It took the hint to find it, but it was there! And then the rain started in earnest, so we had to sign the log quickly (and I didn't do a very good job on the LA emblem, sorry). There was no TB inside, so we took a woolie's domino (Nemo), which we will place in a cache overseas; left a Halo action figure to protect the contents. Then geokid and I went for a walk in the area, in the rain.

Find 366

Found with Deepsky24, 13/05, who again spotted it before I did. The seat was occupied so we sat on the seat further down 'casually' glancing back to GZ every so often. Our muggles departed eventually and the cache was soon in hand, signed and replaced. A truly beautiful location and the perfect afternoon. Thanks!

Found with LeviiStar. She did the maths at WP1 and I put in the co-ords for GZ. Further away than I was expecting but we went to find Dr. Jim Willis reserve first off then wandered to GZ. The seat at GZ was not vacant so I wandered back and forth trying to work out if the cache was retrievable without bothering the muggles. We sat it out for about 20 minutes and then our muggles left. Managed to spot the cache before touching anything. TNLN. Replaced as found.
Thanks team_coxy for the cache.

Beautiful cache. Found it while introducing friends to caching. Awkwardly interrupted a date, but totally worth it

Second time lucky. I knew I'd been here before - 3-4 years ago as it happens! - this time I had G' of GJMMelb with me and between us collected the required information (again - my caching record keeping is poor...) and headed off to GZ. We soon discovered we were on the wrong track, close but no cigar, and were only metres from the right spot but (those damn!) muggles had beat us to it - again... As usual... >:-( Getting closer we casually scoped out the hiding place and loitered - hoping to encourage them to bug.... uh... move along. Patience was rewarded and after some minutes they did depart so we could search in peace. Half the hinted hide seems to have gone - so we searched further afield then necessary - but working closer to the target I spotted the cache for a welcome smiley Part of me is surprised it's lasted so long here, the bulk of me though is very pleased that is has and a second DNF averted! TFTC

Afternoon out caching today with Quiet1_au. Found the information easily for this one but had trouble at Gz where there were some muggles sitting. We waited and they eventually moved on. I looked at a location indicated by the hint, while Q looked closer to Gz. Q soon had the cache. Thanks team coxy
GJMMelb

Nice views from the stated coordinates. Collected the clues and calculated the location of GZ. Decided to walk even though it was getting warm. Arriving at GZ there seemed to be a number of possible locations and the search did take a few minutes. But was able to retrieve and sign the log. TFTC

But of a walk , but a nice one. No trackables

On a beautiful sunny Australia Day I rode past this point and collected the information required to get the final co ordinates. The following week end while riding I stopped to find this cache but didn't have any luck, plenty of joggers and people walking dogs. I returned today to have another look and had better luck. I did think for a moment that it may have been muggled as they recently cut back the scrub - but not where this cache was hidden.The coordinates seem to be pretty spot on. TFTC

As part of my 29-multi challenge for February, this is my first find of the day and 10th of the month! TFTC
