We found it and it was hard but we got a dinosaur and a ducky. From lexi and summer ryan
Cache in a cute reserve that I hadn't visited before although I live locally. Thanks
No luck on this one, searched for quite some time until the weather came in and had to abort
Thanks for showing us this hidden reserve. A quick and easy find. Cache in great condition.
Collected all the pieces of the smashed and scattered container, and replaced with a new one with new log book.
Found! After a nice 20min walk and to figure out the hidden path. Great little hide. Went with my sister today was a good day with no muggles around
After a five minute search with master five, SUCCESS!! Thanks for the Cache!!!
We took our 4 kids for a bush bash to find it. This was our first effort, all of our kids had a great time. We found:
- pencil sharpener
- pencil
- a few pearls
- logbook
Unfortunately we didn’t have anything g else to
Leave.

GPS was jumping a lot so it took a bit of roaming in the bush! Being the tallest I took the cobwebs for the team!
Didn't take too long to find this one, a bit of bush but not too bad Thanks for this one ️
Unnecessary to place so far in the bush. Avoid unless you enjoy mosquitos, cobwebs & spiky grass.
Holy moly spent at least 40 mins searching. Checked everyones info and tips and all I ended up with was a million grass seeds jabbing into my socks.
I can't stop thinking about it, I will be back.

Great find with a few mozzie bites on the way. Merry Christmas!!! Welcome to caching @CoolPotato was fun bush bashing with you!
Found my first geo cache with my family and left a mini pack of playing cards hope someone can enjoy them
Was unable to locate the cache along with laurenechitty. Despite the pristine late spring day, overbearing humidity and ungodly amount of ants and other bugs, it was decided that we were not going to take our chances walking through the long glades with the thought of Tiger snakes.
Despite spending an hour looking around GZ on the foot trails and wandering the park for an additional 30 minutes, cache was not found.
We will be back for this one.

Found It!
This one took a bit of searching but eventually I found it. A nice bit of bushland for a walk.

Headed down the Peninsula to a school holiday activity, decided to see if we can reach our next milestone. Another cool reserve discovered -- T4TC!
On our way into Frankston to grab some supplies and a quick stop by this small park. TFTC
Was in the area today to try and find "Frankston Reserve" (GC8VEKF) for the 2020/2021 Victorian Cache of the Year Awards.
After I completed that Wherigo and made the find, I still had a little bit of daylight left. So quickly checked my phone for another quick nearby cache, when I came across this one.
So headed out to this reserve to try and make a quick find before the sunlight was gone. Unfortunately, the sunlight was basically gone by the time I got to GZ. In the dark, this one turned out to be a fairly tricky hide and took me a lot longer than I thought a difficult 1.0 would be.
Eventually through the process of elimination, the correct beacon was found and the cache was in hand. TFTC.
Cache Maintenance Status:
The cache container was in great shape and the logbook was clean and dry with plenty of spaces for future caches to sign.

Out on my own today coming back from grandparenting duties at Mornington. Just clearing out a couple on the way. This needed a bit of a search. Bingo. Finally got there. Cache in excellent condition. Thanks for the cache Staruby
Had a really good look around today without success. Previous finder located cache 40 metres from GZ, unfortunately in an area more easily muggled. Biggest case of cache-creep I've ever seen! Replacement cache back at GZ.
I have the opportunity to get this one back online this weekend. Please watch this space
Visited site today in failing light, and failed to locate my own cache! Obviously some cache creep over the years. Will return in better light after consulting with the last finder and locate, rehide and update coordinates.

###**CACHE OWNER ACTION REQUIRED**###
----------
Even though the 'Needs Archive' log of 16/Oct/2021 is not appropriate for this situation, and 'Snakeyy22' has been advised of the appropriate Guidelines and protocols, from subsequent logs it would appear that some action by the CO is required in regard to this cache.
**As the cache would appear to be in need of CO attention, I am Disabling the cache**
Whilst it is recognized that as a result of the current COVID19 situation, it might not be possible for a Cache Owner to just pop out and check on a cache, we still need to know that you are on top of the issue.
CO's of caches disabled/requiring maintenance during the current COVID19 crisis will be given some extra time to react. Caches where the cache owner does not currently feel it is safe to maintain will not be archived in the normal time frame, as long as there is some indication from the CO. **Don't let a lack of communication kill this cache.**
#What should you do:-#
- Should you feel it safe for you to maintain and address this cache now, AND your regional Health and Governmental authorities allow it, please feel free to do so.
- **Alternatively, what you need to do is place a Write Note log indicating a date when you you expect you might be able to attend to the issue/s.**
**The Write Note log should be placed by 8th November.**
#Please Note#
When a Reviewer next looks in on the cache, if there is no acknowledgment from the CO as requested above, the Reviewer will assume the cache has been abandoned and process accordingly.

After searching for over 35 minutes all over the reserve we finally located this cache about 25 meters from the original spot.
Great spot, kids loved the hunt and then play at the playground at the reserve afterwards!
GPS had me moving around a lot and just before giving up I spotted the cache in plain view. Coords were 12m out for me.
Signed and hid better than I had found it.
Thanks for the cache.

Thanks for the cache.
GPS had usually over the place but after getting our bearings we found it in one of the obvious hiding spots. Good little spot for a quick local find
Nice dry contents inside, the area opens up into a nice canopy, can hear crows overhead and crickets humming.
Easy find for the first of the day. Beautiful little bush reserve. No pen in cache and didn’t have one with me so no squiggle today.
Out caching under the covers of darkness trying to finish the last of the wonders of the world series. This one could have been easier if we entered into the jungle in the right position. Spent a good 7-10mins walking around the bushes. Finally the cache was found and log was signed. Do not recommend doing this cache at night.
Cache found all okay, fell into a tree and got eaten by spideys.. you know general geocaching stuff. Thanks for the hide. All looks to be in order..
Nice little park. Pretty quick find with tassie expat while exploring in this area. It's in good condition. Tftc
