Made it to GZ very easily, and could identify the hint object, but there was no cache to be found. Tried looking around the bases of lots of trees and stumps where I could see many likely spots to hide a cache but still no cache to be found. As dark started to settle it was time to move on and will be back to try this one on another occasion.
On a rainy miserable day Emily and I decided to liven our trip home from PI and do some caching with 2 of her friends. This was our fourth and the newbies looked high and low. Found what looked like the hiding place but Nada. Reading back through the logs I wonder if previous finder, in the wrong spot didn't return it tho correct spot? Looked in alternative place to no avail? Nice spot anyway and we will be back.
This was a tuff one. GPS wasn't working as well as it should. Easy once found after viewing "cheats" Eve
Found it, but it was at the end of the court next to a stump? We didn't have to go down the walking track at all? (: Great hide though
Passing by with Nut bear today and this is one cache we have been meaning to get for ages. What a little hidden gem this area is. The little birds sounded beautiful as we took the short walk to the cache which was quickly spotted.
Thanks cathylmorgan for the cache and showing us this Reserve.

Out with BorisB&Natasha and we always seem to be going somewhere else when we pass this one. But not so today as we made the time to visit and were very glad we did. It is a beautiful little park with some beautiful sounding birds. After signing the log we stood and tries to see them. They are so small for the noise they make.
Thanks cathylmorgan for the cache.
Thanks cathylmorgan for the cache.
What a beautiful spot - on a clear day not too hot and the sound of the birds was fabulous. Thanks for 'bringing me here'.
Very easy find. Went straight to it. Invited 3 muggles along and we all enjoyed a walk around the researve.
Thanks cathymorgan.

Bogonghazy soon had this one in hand just before noon, we made our marks in the logbook, and were on our way again. A pleasant day for caching, My Thanks to cathylmorgan for the cache, and for highlighting this park and bringing us here.
Another one of those great discoveries. Went for a bit of a walk while we were there.
Thanks for leading us there cathylmorgan.

# 440 @ 1355. Been meaning to find this one for a while. Nice sunny afternoon and on way home so took small detour to find it. This is another one of the amazing bushland parks around Melbourne - really enjoyed it. Contents and log a bit damp but all ok. SL TNLN TFTC cathylmorgan
Got a little wet walking to this one. Never mind we didn't have to hang about for long. TFTC
Gorgeous bush walk first thing in the morning - couldnt bring the geodoggies, had to leave them in the car TFTC SL
Not often I get to do a caching run down this way in the car.
The nearby driveway at the parking spot had me confused, then I spotted the way in along the fence. It was a very peaceful walk to GZ where good coords led me to a nice-sized container. I stopped there for a few minutes to take in the beautiful surroundings.
Thanks for a memorable cache, it's a great spot. I'm giving this a favorite.
Am looking forward to doing more of your caches Cathy.

Fount it today while trying to get a friend into geocaching, awesome location, I never knew this little reserve was here! TFTC
Needed a bit of quiet time, so, I jumped in the car, and headed out to Pearcedale to grab some caches. Stopped to grab this one on the way, and was blown away! Tiny little dirt road that's clearly only used by locals, get to the end, and there's no real parking. I'm actually expecting, at this point, to find an overgrown scrub block where I'll just have to hack my through.
How very wrong! I came across a beautiful little park, with some amazingly big gums around! Anyway, quickly came across the cache, signed, replaced, re-covered. And then went for a wander around. Thanks for the taking me to this little corner of the world, it is so close to where I grew up, and even in my days of exploring on my pushie as a kid, I never came across this park! Thanks for the cache.

Introduced to another spot near home that I had no idea existed. Great work Cathy! TNLN TFTC
Nice spot. Quick find as it was in plain view. The cache container had lost most of it's cammoflague material but we covered it up on leaving so that it is not as easily seen. SL.

What a fantastic park! I was expecting some scrub and not much else. This was an easy find as camo seems hard to come by around here. Thanks for bringing me here. SL TNLN
I have been living and working around this area since 1985 and had no idea this bushland was here. Thanks for the stroll and the cache.
On a cache day with the dogs. It was a shame to have to walk them up to the entrance then quickly back to the car, serves me right for not reading the description!
Oh well, a quick find when I finally found the right tree. GPS gets very confused in this area.
Would never have known about this spot, tftc

GPS took me to the end of the road and around the parking loop. Only then did I realise it was not a toilet block, but a private residence! Parked in the right location and walked into the nice little reserve that I never knew was here - thanks for the introduction.
Cache was found after a short walk and quick look around.

This was, cache # 25 of 33 finds for the day on another big night out with my good mates Trailrunning and Blacklegend, we picked Danozz up in the city later on our run. A nice short walk to locate this one. My thanks to cathylmorgan for the cache.
Tonight was another legendary night caching run with The Demolition Crew and The Rebel Alliance teaming up to grab some caches north, east and south of Melbourne. The run started in the early afternoon with the new northern and eastern caches being picked up before we headed towards the city in peak hour traffic to pick up Danozz in Richmond. He was keen to come and join in the fun.
At this point we moved through slow moving traffic to St Kilda and down to Found it 5 v2 (another hour wasted there!) before moving south through Cranbourne, Tyabb and on to Balnarring. The night was filled with a great many laughs as Blacklegend was in fine form.
The highlight of the night was the 5,000th find being racked up by Blacklegend on the Balnarring Headache Maker. Top effort Adam! As the witching hour approached we decided to forgo some of the planned caches and head straight back to Elwood to align the tides with our caching presence so that we could pick up a cache four hundred metres down a stormwater drain.
Many thanks to all the CO’s who have put the time into placing the caches we collected tonight, and a special mention to those CO’s who made the effort to replace some missing caches at my request a few weeks back.
After a short stroll into the area, tha cache was soon singed and replaced. Thanks.

Found on my way down the peninsula to meet up with friends for the weekend.. A quick find was made however the slithering local's kept me on my toes.. a theme which was to be continued for the remainder of the weekend.. Thanks Cathylmorgan for the hide.. a quick find then back on the road.. Find # 3097
We (GeoKidlet Blake and myself) where down in Somerville this evening and thought we would get few caches while here this was a bit of a detour from there but well worth it. When arriving a parking zone we were surprised to see the watch for turtle sign (pic attached) no turtles tonight though, that would have been cool. Parked car for short walk to GZ, wow this is a great bush land reserve. Found cache, signed log and replaced as found TNLN. Thanks for showing us the place TFTC
Lovely little spot. Signed log & dropped off some swappables. No muggles but some very suspicious looking sheep eying us from across the dam. Tftc.

Oh wow, what a lovely spot. Adore the private lake next door. Chilly day for caching! Thank you for a pretty cache spot.

Shame it's so small!

Find # 1514
Another fine Autumn morning and time for a traditional caching run with my caching partner in crime sedgwickDave. The plan was to head towards Hastings grabbing some caches on the way. I had just taken possession of a new Garmin Montana 650T gpsr and was very keen to test it out.
This was a nice quiet little reserve that I assume would be rarely visited by anyone except the locals. A beautiful early morning stroll towards GZ. upon arrival, Daave was right on it and had the cache in hand in just a few seconds.
Thanks to cathylmorgan for the cache. TNLN.

Today was on another epic cache run with best mate ahomburg with our intention to clear out the remaining unfound caches in the Hastings and surrounding areas. This run resulted in 33 finds and 3 DNFs for me a new record for number of finds for " a non-power trail" run in a single day.
A nice walk into GZ for this one with the rich smell of horses near by. The coordinates were really good and a cache was quick to find. Left blue marble took nothing. Very peaceful area, thanks for bringing me here.

With geokid away at Grandma’s for the weekend, I decided to make the most of it, and do a spot of caching. This was my first find for the morning, in a reserve I never knew was there! Lovely spot, and a nice quick find. TNLN, TFTC!
thanks cathymorgan. as I sit here l'm listening to the bird songs. left a few swaps took homer magnet SL a spotless park and no muggles @ 1600 hrs cheers
Loves these walks in the bush. Didn't know this area was here either:) SL TFTC cathylmorgan
Good spot didn't even know that place existed.Was hot but didn't take us to long to find!Its only our fifth cache find but I think we're hooked!
i never knew that place thank you for show me that place... i live that area...that park heaps of brown butterfly ..
My boy ( shredd108) and I were up early this morning for a spot of star gazing. A rare opportunity to catch a glimpse of a comet, visible to the naked eye - we set up shop at Koo-wee-rup Tower. On the way back home we decided to hit a few local caches.
Awesome reserve - we wanted to explore it further but being up since 3am we needed to get home and get some sleep. We found the cache well hidden..... a geo-trial gave it up
Thx again Cathylmorgan

Who would have thunk that there was a patch of bush like this at the end of the road.

Half of Zombiedogs found this back in June as Linc07 and TLS5 - we debated whether to simply log it as a find, but the purists in our family insisted that all had to visit, so we did. Absolutely hosing with rain today, so it was a very quick in and out without any sight-seeing!
What a lovely little reserve, went for a walk with Sheppythekid after work, logged cache on a warm afternoon with little wind. A few wildflowers still in flower. TFTC.
Did this with the bandit after work, went straight to the spot signed log dropped of geo coin and bug went for a walked around the reserve nice spot TFTC
I set out on a bit of a mission today to gather a few travel bugs from caches I'd not yet visited. This wasn't on my list but as it was local to some other caches I was doing I felt I should cross this one off. Cache was found nice and quickly and to my surprise I found a TB that was logged as being at the nearby 'Bush Block'. Not sure if it had been wrongly logged or if it had been meved in the last few days but not yet logged.
Nice little reserve in an area I would never have known about.

The weather promised to be something special this week, so I decided to take a day off work and go caching down around Hastings. I couldn't recall ever having gone through Pearcedale before, so it was nice to do a few around here and check the place out. This one was just the sort of cache I like, a nice bit of woodland, no muggles and an easy cache find after a short walk.

Thanks cathylmorgan

This is a lovely spot, very peaceful and tucked away. In fact I would have thought it was private land had it not been for this cache. Thanks cathylmorgan for the cache.
A nice easy cache in this beautiful bush reserve. Thanks for bringing us to this place.
We found this cache today at 10:20am as the 1st of 29 on our Hastings and Area Caching Day. A nice secret little park to start our caching day. Thanks from D & H B-A.
Never new this place existed, hard to find this late at night, but we found it in the end! TFTC. Took phone cover left travel postcard
