Not being maintained. WP2 has not been found for over a year. The last 2 finders only found it because they phoned a friend who told them where it was or had the coordinates from more than a year ago.
After collecting the info at the two way points a long time ago, I was finally off to GZ late tonight to mark this cache of the to do list. Upon reaching GZ I made an extensive search for the cache. I had an idea of what I should be looking for but after about 25 minutes I had no luck and was beginning to think the cache may be gone as it had been quite a while since a previous find. I was just about to leave when I literally stumbled upon what I hoped was the cache, about 10m from GZ.
To my relief it was, and with the logbook signed I rehide the cache at the base and covered it over, where my GPS said GZ was. I'm not sure where it was supposed to be hidden as it was just lying on the ground amongst the leaf litter. The container had been what I thought as well. Thanks.

I know the description says it's difficult, but it's been almost 6 months since WP2 has been found.
Could the CO please check & confirm that it is still there?

Finding the numbers at WP1 took a bit of looking, and I spent a good deal of time looking for something cache-like at WP2 but didn't find anything. I think I was in the right place, but the GPS was pointing me a few meters into some very tall looking reed-grass and I was not going to go there, so I checked all over under and around the bridge I was standing on - but didn't find anything to let me continue to the next point.
Had a go at this one today with Snap Crackle and Pop (Nufrat, Grant1Wish and myself), we think we got to WP2 but could not locate the coords for the next WP will have to give this another go another day.
After visiting the GLW in the hospital nearby(Nothing Major) it was time to have a crack @ least one of the caches here well after getting the numbers it was off to GZ for a nice easy find in a part of this park that i had not been to before.
I was going to try for the two in this park but it was getting late & i had to get up for work tomorrow so i will leave the other till another day.

Find # 1660
Today I was on a tour of Noble Park, Springvale, Keysborough and Dandenong. I just wanted to grab a few caches before going home to get ready for basketball.
I had previously gathered the information for the first part of this one, and I was nearby, so decided to try to finish it off today. Upon arriving at my calculated way point, I managed to gather the details for the next. Not too far away, so I decided it was time for a bit of a walk. not long after at my next way point and having quickly worked out GZ in the comfort of a shady tree, I made my way there. It didn't take long before I had the cache in hand. Very nice camo.
Thanks to hi pressure for the cache. TNLN

Had troubles at way point two, but Sharon managed to find it, ( needs a little maintenance ). Very creative cache, one of the funniest parts was at the last cache, where Sharon persuaded my self to rummage through this rubbish left from the flood telling me that it's a unique cache, ( described in a previous log ) straight after I put my hands into this rubbish she tells me she found it just behind me

Stopped at WP1 on my way north MTB riding today. Called into WP@ on my way back but had no luck finding what I was after. Floods recently may have dislodged container or I am jsut blind lol. Maybe next time I'm in the area I'll get lucky. Thanks HP for the search.
After work, a quick drive down to the final GZ, and I have finally logged the closest to work. Thanks hi_pressure
Water was up way too high at WP2 for me to find today. I knew what I was looking for but in the limited time and rain I had to walk away for the second time. . I will be back at lunch next time with my snorkel.
The retrieval of the clue at WP2 is at this stage near impossible due to the awaked position it has been placed in. The water level is way too high to make a clean & dry retrieval....I managed to pinpoint the clue after some lateral thinking. Perhaps the owner at some stage may consider placing a temporary clue.

Found with Crazy! Nat Girl on a sunny day. The final hide brought a smile to my face. TFTC
Here I am stuck in Melbourne due to the fact the Chillian Volcanoe Ash cloud caused the organisers of a conference in Adelaide to cancel
I was meant to be there today picking up my first cache sin South Australia, but here I am at home. Now what can I do?
I’ve decided to pick up a few in the south eastern suburbs near Berwick, so here I am logging this did not find.
I calculated the next WP and then headed off to do the nearby pipes one. Once again avoiding the puddles on my way. I then drove to a more convenient location and walked into WP2. I looked and I looked and I looked. I knew what I was looking for, but no luck today. My one and only DNF for the day. Thanks hi-pressure I will be back.

The water is subsiding, most of the tracks are now negotiable.. GZ for this one was well and truly underwater, however the cache is now above the waterline.. Armagedon..
26-01 2nd DNF of the day at 11:30
After mixing up an I for a 1 in the maths on our first attempt at this one, which put us in a swamp, we went over our calculations and headed to the more likely WP2. But when we got to the spot we found ourselves in the same situation as the last cache where we had to DNF.
We are just not sure if we are meant to be looking for a sign, container, a written number or what?
Gave up in frustration & decided no more caching for the day, we'll just enjoy our bike ride.
(''\(OoO)/'') No luck today...

This was a long journey and as I approached GZ I thought that firstly my feet were going to drop off, and secondly that I must have made a mistake in my calculations. However, I soon found this fantastic cache container. Thanks hi pressure for bringing me here and for the challenging cache.
Slink1 and I embarked on our first cache run for 2011.
Nice easy find once GZ sorted out. TFTC SL

Finally completed this Multi which I actually started on the night of the big flood which force the closeur of Heatherton Rd. Mann I got soak getting the last number at the final WP before GZ.
Anyway this morning the cache was found all dry and intact.
Thanks hi pressure for another great Multi.

Due to the recent rain this cache is possible in accessible because of a higher water line.
Will check on it as soon as the water has receded.

Thanks for the multi cache - another quirky cache container found after a short search.
We waited nearby this cache starting WP under some confusion weather or not we were meeting another cacher at a specified time.
We decided we had waited enough time and we would continue on collecting the waypoints along the way.
Nice container too! How appropriate!

Take2!. I had been going past this cache on a regular basis and gathered the info needed, or so i thought.
On the way home today with the maths teacher we went through my calculations and realised why I had a final
at a place that would be impossible (not to me..lol),
With the right information now entered the cache was found fairly easily and logged.
Our thanks to High Pressure for the cache and a good hide that made sense.

I had a couple of looks around WP1 before there was enough sunLIGHT to see the required numbers. I walked around WP2 for at least 10 minutes the before the LIGHTbulb appeared over my head. WP3 was very obvious...the hightLIGHT of my day. GZ was easy; it came like a flash.....
Love the cache container. Very appropriate. Thanks, hi pressure, for a fun cache.

More practice at that grade three maths on this one but at least it is all do-able and not like some. Like others I liked the container at GZ, which, yes, pprass found! Not sure why he brings me along. lol.
Found at 1.20pm GAFF1 in the company of Alansee. Another good hide which we were half expecting and the co-ords were spot on which we expect from hi pressure.
Thanks hi pressure.
Thanks hi pressure.
I started this one with StreetO + Diablo1234 on Monday... cleaver hide.. TFTC hipressure...
Nice find. On a cold and windy, wet night. Found with streetO, Mr_X_02 and Spladem. TFTC
Found @ 5.15pm, #406.
Finally got around to doing this one, but it wasn't the best time to do it with all the rain that has been falling, all the tracks were a bit flooded ( needed the gumboots ). First wp no problem and on to the second which was a bit trickier, but after doing some other hi pressure caches we had a very good idea what we were looking for, which we found after a couple of minutes, off to No.3, no problem, did the math and off to GZ for a quick find. Nice cache container.
Thanks hi pressure for this cache and the wet feet.

After seeing the Physio this afternoon and being told I could start walking without a crutch I decided to go for a walk. This cache was not far off the way home. After arriving at WP1, I found I had no pen, back to the car nothing there either DOH!!!.
Ok I can use a stick and the wet ground to work out the math's, no a problem at WP1 but by the time I got to WP3 it had started to rain. More mud math's and I had GZ sorted.
I was very happy this was a short multi as I think I would have given up to come back another day if it were any longer as the tracks were full of puddles and the sky did not look like it was going to let up. Once at GZ the cache was located after a brief search and the cache name made more sense, even with the bad weather we have had the log was nice and dry but no pen double DOH!! While looking for a stick to try and get some ink off the stamp I found a broken pencil and with a bit of work the log was at last signed.
Thanks hi pressure for the cache and also thanks to who ever lost their pencil.

With Alchemy2, coley_babee. After found from Pipe Dream. It's very tricky one but glad found it.. TFTC
Again we visited an area that we had been before in the past. Good to see these caching spots recycled again. The hide was good and the container was better. We even have one at home with is lying dormant since the advent of LED torches. Thanks for the cache Hi-Pressure.
after meeting up with crank1 & alchemy2, and joining in their hunt for pipe dreams we ended up finding this one relatively easily!!
So today was a good walk around the Dandy Creek trail!!

We found this cache at 5:30pm as the final of 6 on our "Never have we cached so long for so few cache finds" day. We located the first numbers straight away. Worked out the maths for WP2, please be close, please be close, please be close. Once we saw the location of WP2, we very nearly gave up the day there and then but we soldiered on and with the fun well and truly dragged out of this day, we got sloppy and to add insult to injury, we had written a number wrong so we had to return once more to fix what turned out to be a 20m error at WP2. We worked our way through the waypoints and found the cache right on dusk. The day was done and we had achived only 6 finds in 7 hours over 24 individual waypoints and we never got over 7km from home. Thanks from D, H & A B-A.
*FTF* Out with MrJibblets we started on this one hopping for a second FTF. The setup of this cache made it very enjoyable to do. A well thought out cache with a very interesting container at the end. Thanks for the great effort you put into your caches HiPressure.
*FTF* Found at 16:04 Enjoyed gathering the necessary information at each waypoint taking in the scenic views of the wetlands before spotting the well hidden cache.
Always great to see a different cache container being utilised.
Thanks for the cache Hi pressure
