It has been over 1 month now and I still have the only remnants of the cache (the log book) still in my possession but the CO has not responded to my messages at all.
It has been 2 weeks now and haven't heard from CO, so at this point in time I wouldn't attempt this cache until they respond to me so I can get them the log book somehow which is all that is left of the cache so it can be repaired.
We too would like to claim this as find. We made our way to GZ only to find the the cache no longer there. As Spiffy had stated there appears to be some garden work going on and some trees pruned. It just happens that the tree at GZ where cache should have been was chopped down and no cache to be found. We eventaully read the logs and Spiffy had confirmed it missing as well. We only found this out after reading the logs and tha spiffy had taken the log book for safe keepings. Thanks for bringing here hi pressure. the sculptures were interesting.

Had the bike out for the first time doing caching for some multis in Jells Park area. Anyway, found all these sculptures easily, got to the GZ and disaster!! It looks like the council has been chopping trees and remulching. I happened to find just the logbook on the ground but no sign of the cache at all. I have signed the book but taken it as well so I can get it the the CO to fix it up.
I found the logbook today but no cache container so I have the logbook in my possession and have contacted the CO as to what to do next.
Bad planning on my part meant some extra walking involved for me, but as a cyclist was in the way at WP2 it worked out OK. Every WP projected on my GPS's map seemed off target, something I've been noticing a few time lately so I suspect its my GPS rather than the coordinates. Likewise when I finally got to calculate GZ after my stroll, it too was way off target on the map - but the coordinates were correct and indeed spot on once I ignored the map/compass and followed the numbers. :-\ The cache container was a little damp inside but the logbook was fine. TFTC
Got my exercise with this one today. I didn't realise there were all these sculptures along here. I only had seen the ones from the roadway! Easy to find coords and just keep walking!
Found this cache today. I had previously started it with Irontoad and then it was the end of the day and I was too tired to continue and an older version of the cache page had an error in numbers so kmace quit for that day. Today I was determined to find this cache - even though it was getting quite late when I started this cache. I went back to the information that I had and did the final couple of waypoints before finding GZ.
Very creative cache thanks for the challenge hi pressure.

Needed an airing today and even though it was wet and cold number one agreed to come out with me. We met nearby and took the stroll. Nice way to check out some of those sculptures that we always just fly by. Picked up the clues easily and found the nice little hide quickly.
Now for the walk back to the car. Great way to spend some quality time
Thanks hi pressure.

I had started this multi over a year ago while exploring Jells Park, discovering the first set of co-ordinates at WP1. Today I had the bike in the car so decided to continue on and see if I could finish it off. I liked seeing the sculptures and enjoyed travelling the path that it took me along.
Thanks hi pressure for the cache.

Find # 1927
This cache had been on my radar since just after I had started caching, but I had for one reason or another not been in the right place to start it. I noticed at the end of last year the Change in the cache page so I now knew it was possible to do. I completed this over three sessions this week, starting Monday morning where I got the first lot of info at wp1. With not enough time to complete before work I left it for today when I needed a cache for my project 366. Tonight before basketball I walked to all the waypoints and worked out where GZ was, but just not quite enough time to search for the cache before my game. So basketball complete (and won ) I headed back to find the cache. A nice brisk walk in light rain and I soon after had the cache in hand.
Spot on co ords. Thanks to hi pressure for the cache. TNLN.

My Second Hi Pressure cache for the day. I couldn't get to wp1 at first due to a truckie parked there, but when I came back a half hour later he was gone, and it was a quick find. I then moved the car a little and enjoyed a nice stroll on a good path, looking at some interesting artwork, before finding the cache. One comment is that it is a shame to have put this artwork out here where so few people will get to see it except for streaking past in their cars some distance away. A good cache thanks Hi Pressure.
I'd been very busy at work recently and had been working up to 70 hours per week, working a full day then heading back in at night and doing another 6 or so hours. Tonight I had enough and needed a break so what better way to relax than go and find some caches.
I'd done most of the ground work over previous trips to the area and made time tonight to complete and find the cache. I made my way along the path to GZ and after a short search found the log book only in a zip-lock bag. Thanks for the cache.

We had a bit more spare caching time in the area, so how about one more Hi Pressure multi? We set off up the path and with some teamwork, got through the multi in good time. As art is purely objective I will award the 'boy sitting' a rating of 10/10. I would also state that it is better art that the other sculptures.
It was a big day of multi caches in Jells Park for Danozz and I. There was a lot of walking (I think over 10km) and no rain to speak of. There were a lot of people out in the park, but no one to bother us as we collected clues and the odd plastic container.
This cache was an unexpected extra at the end of the day. We had arrived back at the Melbourne Steam Traction Engine Club to pick up my other half, and it turned out he wasn't ready yet. Another half and hour to an hour? Ok, looks like time for one more cache then, what a shame. We were looking for a sculpture at way point one, but we soon found the correct thing and were on our way. We had a few spots of rain on our walk to the final cache, but I must say I would prefer that to trying this one in summer, there would be so shade at all. All round though, a pleasant walk, and it was nice to look at the sculptures as you don't get to see most of them from the freeway.

Found it on a nice sunny afternoon riding the bike - nice hide at WP1 Hi Pressure - from there I enjoyed the sculptures and ride finding the cache at GZ in good condition. TFTC Regards Sarian
Took a few visits to find wp1. Once you find it makes you wonder how you missed it tftc

I attemepted the first WP some time back with no luck. I was on my bike last night and thought I would try again before daylight savings ended. I found the first WP numbers without too much effort (nice container) and then proceeded onward to the GZ. It finished at a place that I had often commented on and thought that was fantastic. I will have to point it out to a mate I run with (and cache). Loved the GZ container - it was in great condition.
Thanks very much for setting this cache up.

Gasp, if your walking to this one on a hot afternoon, take some water!
After driving past these statues for so long it's nice to stop and find out something about them.
A pleasant walk.

There was a slight error on the page.
It is now fixed.
Thanks to vincentness for letting me know.

Very nice cache! I think there is an error in WP4, but not sure how to detail it here without giving anything away. Will email owner!

Found this while riding my pushy on a nice afternoon.
I enjoyed solving the puzzles and it drew my attention to the objects. I am not sure about doing it on a stroll but bike riding is perfect.
A nice container and I would have left a TB if I had not just dropped it off.

The cache has an extra way point.
GZ has moved hopefully a safer spot.
It's all good to go now.

Had a look for this one today and found what I believe was the cache container smashed on the ground with no sign of any contents. Cache may need to be checked to see if it's been muggled.

Well this one has been on my radar from quite sometime now. Have been watching this one for awhile hoping for its return and was glad to see that it did.
Attempted this one last weekend to fine that WP1 was at a location that just did not seem to be correct. An email to owner of my situation and confussion followed with a clever hint to clarify where in fact WP1 should be. The start for this mult is at S 37° 54.335 E 145° 12.738 which seems to be just a typo for the south heading.
Completed the following stages but needed the hint for WP3 after initally having completed a good search of the area, the hint allow me to focus my attention which was good as the numbers at WP3 at become partially covered and explained why I initially had missed it.
Headed off to GZ almost in the wrong direction before I realised a mistake. The cache was found quickly but only the log was found within a zip lock bag, no cache container. The log was exposed so left with some improveded camo in the spot it was found which I assume is the intended location. Not sure if maintenance is required, but it would be better for the log if it was in something more then a plastic zip lock bag.
Overall really enjoyed this cache due to the challenge of finding the start which was the hardest part but of course as always in the finding of the cache or should I say log book.
Thanks hi pressure for another great multi and for showing me these objects which I did not know were here.[^] TFTC

After walking from the start location and collecting all the clues I arrived at ground zero to find that the cache has been muggled with only geocaching card found near cache location. No container found even after verifying the location with owner. This one is missing in action.
I decided to log this one as found (sort of)! If it ever comes back online I'll go and sign the new log just for completeness.
(After several months off-line I noticed that hi-pressure had replaced the cache container, so I decided to go for another walk along the shared path to the ground zero location and sign the log on the 22 June 2011. The container was visible in its location so when I signed the log, I re-hid with a lot more cover to ensure that it isn't muggled again. Thanks hi-pressure for putting this one back on-line and for allowing me to complete what I started )

Could not get to WP1 as the gate was locked (from both ends) due to storm damage. No indication when the gates will be unlocked.

Another lovely day to walk to this one again which was great after what had been in the weather forecast! lol
Thanks to hi-pressure for checking up on this one and helping us out - it appears our GPSr may be on the way out as it was about 10m more or less out all weekend too and again took us to the wrong place today (with correct co-ords) but we knew where to look this time (thanks!!) ..... also the cache was actually a bit exposed so we recovered a bit better.
TNLNSL Saw a Muggle entry in the log from "Sally" who found it when taking photos of her kids recently!!

Found after a hic-up along the way. I took a koala and left a Rubic's Cube. Thanks hi pressure.
Woops I almost forgot to log this one, with all the multis I intersectored today I kind of lost track of what cache i was working on some times, do I go here or do I go there anyway I finally made it to the finish, this cache reminded me of my late mate dak and his yes but is it art series. Thanks hi pressure for the cache.
Well the redeeming feature for todays walk wasn't one of the sculptures (altho they were interesting!!), it was the absolutely beautiful weather. It was a perfect day for JMelb and her friend to walk around JP!!
BUT... we also must agree with Team Rabbitto's comment of Why does WP1 start here when WP2 is all the way over there (and a LOT longer by walking track than the distance the crow flies!!)
Anyway we successfully found all WP's and gained the info for GZ but the cache eluded us and once I started bleeding from the scratchy plants around GZ we decided it was time to give up!!
Ah well, it was good to have a great long catch up with my walking friend during this walk as weren't able to catch up last week ...

Between WP1 and WP2 I was juggling four multi's on my bike. All were at different stages - lots of bits of paper.
I hope not too much was paid for that first sculpture! It is a strange one.
Liked the next one a lot more, except my GPS died at this point, and where were my spare batteries? In the panier? - nup, in the car at the other end of the park! Lucky I had the bike.
An easy find in the end.
Thanks, Robmc.

I wish I'd brought my bike with me today but the boot contained a large ladder for a cache I needed in the Dandenongs. After walking so far to collect all the clues it was a relief to find the cache in the first place I looked. My favourite sculpture was at the final waypoint.
Thanks for the tour today,

Found on a cold and windy Sunday afternoon out on a cycling cache run through Jells Park, with Top that, spladem and diablo1234. TFTC.
A Day of Caching. On bikes. Team effort was done by all. Picked up TB. Attendees : StreetO, Top That and Spladem. TFTC
Got a call from LeanneH, and met up for a cold walk n chat to find this one at 9:45pm.. TFTC SL, dipped TB (I think).. Thanks HiPressure
I didn't realise these sculptures were there. I think I might have to take some time out and ride all the paths around here.

Sculpture Stroll was just a short stroll away [?] (who are you kidding) but Mr Jibblets could at least use the time to finish off a few more of the local caches at the same time. All we could do was walk and admire the scenery. I had a feeling by this time that this was going to be a low scoring day!
We clicked in the numbers and thought, geez that is a long way from here! Still it had to be got, so we stored the numbers and went of to do the other Barking cache whilst we were about it.
After finishing that one we headed back to the car because by that time my feet were really sore and I was not going to walk it. Arrived at GZ just on darkness where we made an easy find.
Thanks again hi pressure for another walk in this park.

Enjoyable walk around Jells Park with The Swaggies gathering a few newly published cache's in the area,i was a little confused when i had completed the sum's going over them twice to make sure,and off we went,finding the cache around 15 minutes later.
Thanks for the cache hi pressure

We found this cache at 11:35am as the 1st of 6 on our "Never have we cached so long for so few cache finds" day. After already being an hour an a half on the hunt with no finds to the name we wandered over to start this one. We were happy to locate WP1 relatively quickly but once we plugged in the numbers for WP2 we all wailed "Nooooooooooooo, why does a cache that ends way over there start way over here" (This was a theme that was going to follow us around alllll day). We decided to drive to the closest access to WP2 and wandered up the trail for what turned out to be the most unlikey FTF that we have ever clocked up. We had certainly not rushed out for this one first up in the morning and neither apparently had anyone else. On the way back to the car, we found out that it was a very close one indeed as Crank1 and Alchemy2 were also on route to the cache. After a brief chat about some local caches, off we went once more with FTF #71 in the bag. Thanks from D, H & A B-A.
### Silver for us ###
I did went there yesterday but dont have a time so leave it till today as visited my friend..
This morning I checked on website still no one find it so I told Alchemy2 come with me there and when we walked and noticed three walked from there.
Knew that they are FTF and finally meet him Rabbito.. He is FTF.. Nice to chatted with him.
Found it with Alchemy2.. TFTC
