The big green shed Hastings, Victoria, Australia
By megabogan on 29-Jul-10. Waypoint GC2CH02

I cannot see any information that suggests to me that steps have been taken to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement - one or more of the following applies:

- Cache Owner unable to maintain cache
- No response from the cache owner.
- No cache to find or log to sign.
- It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.
- Cache has been abandoned by cache owner

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to also prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the next 28 days, just contact a reviewer (by email and include GC number in Subject), and assuming it still meets the current guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

Should you wish to replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

This cache would appear to be in need of owner intervention, therefore I am temporarily disabling it so as to stop it showing up on search lists and to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

Geocache maintenance is a cache owner responsibility. Your prompt attention to any log that indicates things could be amiss is greatly appreciated by all geocachers.
The rule is; [red]if you can't fix it straight away then "Disable" it till you can[/red] - I have disabled it for you this time! [^]

[purple]Please respond to this situation by 10th November to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness. If you require more time, please be sure to post a "Write Note" log (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require.[/purple]

For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 28 days so as to keep everyone up to date, or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

A new cache needs to be placed due to the hive that is very active at this location.

Had a vague look but gather it's not been replaced as there hasn't been a log stating as much.

Found the cache! Unfortunately, as I was trying to retrieve it, it fell to the bottom of the deep and narrow cavity. We tried to get it back but the cavity is boarded up from all sides and the cache cannot be reached without vandalising the town's information board. Any ideas?

Owner check required to see if this cache is still there

Didn't find this one - had a quick look around but there is no sign of the cache and the wasps were getting to me so I left.

With frmen1 & geoteens...no luck today

2 of us couldnt find it despite log tips.

Searched for a long time but couldn't find it.

Too many cars for good look. Will try again some time.

Tftc

Need new log as current one is a bit damaged

TFTC

It's a bit water damaged and the box is a bit battered. May need a new box ASAP.

Not quite the shed we were expecting. Our third quick find for the morning bodes well for the day. SL TFTC

Down on the Western Port side of the peninsula again today hunting down caches. I started in Hastings and looped down to crib point and back through Balnarring. 36 caches for the afternoon and a couple of DNFs. It was a pretty nice afternoon to be out and about. Thanks to all the COs for the placement of the caches.

Arrived at GZ and quickly avoided the beehive at the structure. Luckily the cache is far enough away to still retrieve without any issues.

Quick find great hide good thing I'm not too short lol

Can understand why people have come up wit nothing on this one, perseverance pays off. Cache is still there. TFTC

Good hide for busy spot. Just got to spot and a car of muggles turned up for directions. Cache back and log book filled in.

I can imagine why some people had a dnf on this one. Quit tricky spot to hide and a lot of traffic passing!
TFTC Wilbert67

Very easy and quick find

Found it in 10sec tftc

Searched by torch light, found the wasp nest. but no cache.

Found it!! Geez, 3 within the hour, we're getting good at this
TFTC !

No cache located
Wasp nest nearby so be careful

Had a good hard look but came up short.
Thanks anyway megabogan.
Chiefton.

This one may have been muggled. Saw what I thought were remnants of cache.

Quick find once I'd decided to brave the wasps and ants.

Our first for our trip away, 6 hours driving makes for very keen cachers, so happy to bag our first one today, looking forward to many more on our long weekend away. Tftc

Day 13 of 31 day challenge and personal challenge of 48 in 24 hours, hubby Greysubmarine, JustAnnie1 and I headed out for a huge day caching in an attempt to break a lot of personal records.
The three of us headed to GZ and looked everywhere for this find. Took us a while until I saw a little something out of the ordinary and the find was in my hands. Signed log and returned to original place.
Great little hide megabogan
Mrs Gilesy

So day 13 of the 31 day challenge, Mrs G and JustAnnie1 and my self headed out for a couple of hours of caching with the ultimate goal of completing the Jack Speak Series. We decided that we would grab as many caches on the way to do this series as we could. What a beautiful day Melbourne put on today lovely sunshine and a nice warm winters 18 degrees day. The wind was starting to pick up but over all it was a great day for caching.


Arrived near the GZ and parked the GeoKorando. Mrs G, JustAnnie1 and myself headed to the GZ where it was a quick read of the description, searched the area for the standard hidey spots when Mrs G said she had the cache, log signed and cache was returned. Great hide, thanks for the cache cheers.

Found[Time to Find: 8 min]Thought we'd found this one before but was mistaken, nice easy find. tfth

Find #414
Out with stemicmitsar for another raid on the Mornington Peninsula.
Grabbed this on our way home. SL TFTC

Lots of bees around. Nice stash! SL TFTC

An easy find, but this container sure has had a hard time. TFTC

Not to hard to find. TFTC.

Found it a bit harder than everyone said. It did require climbing!

Easy find TFTC SL

Nice location, understood the hint pretty much as we approached GZ. Spider webs meant my boyfriend came to rescue me. TFTC

Easy find as I gain more experience at what to look for.

Passing by - do I stop for a look? Of course I do . After doing a quick lap of GZ, I had the stash in hand at 16:25.

TNLNSL, although our BYO pen geocoin had a visit to mark the occasion. Thanks megabogan.

TFTC

Found the log sheet lying on the ground the found a container near by but very squashed. Managed to straighten it a bit and have partially hidden it in a likely spot , a new container would. E a good idea thenks for the cache

Found nice and quickly with 5 of us there. Hardest part was getting back out into the holiday weekend traffic. TFTC.

Spiffy- and I along with our geokids headed out and collected this series. Took a little bit of time for the first couple, but we soon worked out the types of hides to look for. Thanks Walenators for this great series. We all loved it.

Having cracked one of Danozz's puzzles recently I got a call from the good man himself asking if I'd like to join him on a trip down to the Mornington Peninsula to clear up the Jack Tar series.
Having solved the puzzles very soon after I arrived here in Melbourne, but without regular access to a car I jumped at the chance.
Danozz was also after hoovering up some missing trads along the way which was a bonus for me as being a more single minded kind of chap I would have just been focussing on the series in hand.

A quick find found lying on the floor - replaced where we think it had fallen from.

Thanks for the cache and thanks for bringing me here.

My apologies to the cache owner for the exceedingly large delay in logging this find.
For quite a few months life has had an awkward habit of generally getting in the way of caching. Not completely enough that I havent been able to go searching and occasionally finding, but certainly enough to when it actually came around to writing and logging the finds. I can only apologise for any records, karma targets or unloved cache days that have been skewed as a result of these late entries.
Thank you for placing the cache and thus enticing me to get off my backside and get out and explore.

Found it on the ground, replaced back in a slightly better hiding position.

Found on a caching weekend around the Hastings area with Davidman. TNLNSL TFTC

Found on a day out caching near Hastings. Thanks for the cache.

TFTH

Visiting from England - a mint hiding place. Thanks!

We had the opportunity to head down to the Penninsula for the Australia Day long weekend.
For January the weather was a very pleasant mid 20's and the caching was brilliant.
So many new caches since the last time we had been over this way. We saw some places we had never been before and some great hides. Thanks to everyone for placing them.
Nice and easy find here but soime bees have moved in a couple of meters away from the cache.
Great parking spot here too.

Found with Mum & Dad on our Australia Day Long Weekend caching holiday.
I loved finding all of the caches and seeing some really cool spots.
Thanks to everyone for placing them, and everyone who placed them near playgrounds!

Nice easy drive by TFTC

Sorry megabogan for the generic log but I'm trying to catch up on my logging, I currently have over 1000 to log before hitting some powertrails in the US after the block party next week. As always I enjoy the hunt whether I'm solo or with some of my caching or muggle friends. Thanks to those who have accompanied me to make the day more pleasurable and many thanks megabogan for placing this cache.

Thanks!!! Watch the bees people.

Watch the bees near the information shelter. Cache was located after a brief search. TFTC.

too easy even in the dark. the gz was glowing from the torch light.

easy find
tftc

found with INKLE heading to
Tyabb for chrissie dinner
tftc

as i pulled up i could clearly see the cache, it is now in the same spot but further in so can't be seen as easy, tftc

ST37E and I decided to travel on a warm Sunday to a part of Melbourne we haven't been before, and attempt the Jack Speak series and anything else along the way.


Nice quick find TFTC!

Found on a day of geocaching with S 4 Sammy on the way to do the Jack Speak series of mystery caches

Nice quick find

TFTC

First find of the day enroute to do Jack Speak with bogonghazy. An active Beehive here, so others please be careful when doing this one. A nice quick pick up and we were off. TNLNSL. Thanks to megabogan

Quick find with Sully1 after an early start from Ballarat had us here mid morning.
Gladly the beehive and the bees were unconcerned about our presence and a quick find was made.
Thanks megabogan

bees in residence,thankfully could still get cache. tftc

found with bees near by

Nice spot. Watch out for the bee hive. We had to dodge the swarm.

Good spot. Watch out for the bees! There's a hive near the GZ.

quick and easy thanx

out on a cache run nice easy find out in the open number five of eleven thanks

Thanks! SL

Thanks for a quick find

TFTC

Was put off by a muggle yesterday so went back today with Megzzy and grabbed it straight away!
Thanks again megabogan.

I assumed that it was out of its hide. After reading the logs I am not so sure. Still, I'll replace it in a not so obvious place. Thanks megabogan.

Yey it's holidays!!! MMelb went off to Eildon last night to stay with friends so of course caching was on the agenda for G&JMelb!!! We decided to head down to this part of the peninsula for 2 reasons - to visit the Tyabb Packing House and to tackle the cache Bittern Markets again SANS MMelb lol!! So we arrived at the TPH and JMelb went off to browse whilst GMelb went looking for some local caches. After looking around the TPH for about 45 mins JMelb rang GMelb but he didnt answer so she rang again and again and again and again! He had left the phone in the car whilst off finding Piglets Christmas Cache which entails a bit of a walk!! Phones aren't much use sitting in the car... lol Hmmmm!
So once GMelb picked up JMelb we set off to find more caches and this was the first one. With JMelb being vertically challenged GMelb made a quick find on this one.

We nearly drove right by this one. I think we were expecting to see a big green shed right on the side of the road. Once we parked near the GZ, T got out first to hunt around a bit. K followed and spied the cache - on full display - on the walk over form the car. Go you brave little cache!

Nice quick find. Pea bear was no sooner out the car before it was in hand. TFTC

Quick find on the way to Hastings with Boris & Natasha. SL TFTC

A very quick driveby at 12:25pm.
thanks megabogan

Love these Drive by ones easily found and signed after turning my car around to town just to buy a pen

Today I was given another opportunity to go caching for a day. Well it was only about 8hrs but that's close enough to a day . I had to choose an area rich of caches to catch up to my nemesis [url=http://www.geocaching.com/profile/?guid=b4585843-0564-409a-aee2-b35dc0e22ecf]gmj3191[/url] in one day. After some considerable consideration, I chose to come back down to the Eastern side of the Peninsula with half of a power trail still to complete and a bucket load of other caches, it was perfect! The weather started off nice and got cloudy and before we knew it, it was pissin down with rain. We didn't find too many during the rainy period but it didn't matter. It was a fun day finding about 32 caches in 6hrs and finally completing the Jack Speak series. This was the 4th for the day.

Wow, this sure was a bold hide! I'm very surprised it hasn't been muggled yet! After Dad parked about 10m from it, I got out of the car and immediately spotted the cache. Thanks megabogan!

A PRETTY GOOD FIND

Found the geocache OK, but the munzee on the same structure has gone missing. Thanks.

Quick run with geokids TFTCLS

Easy find

almost caught by some muggles TFTC

WQe could see it from the car, but still had to get out to sign the log. Thanks for a quick drive-by.

Found on our weekend epic blitz of the peninsula.......many thanks for the cache.

#2749 Our last cache of the day, we had been awake for approximately 32 hours (a long story but our intention was not a numbers grabbing exercise). Caching had kept us very alert during this time but we were glad that our last cache was spotted on approach. Thanks to megabogan for the cache, cheers.

The kids and I had not alot to do this mother's day weekend so I decided we would spend the night in Hastings and do some caching in the area. The kids were so excited they eached packed a full suitcase each for just one night away, but at least I knew we had plenty of spare clothes just in case we had to walk through water, got muddy, dusty (not with all that rain) or even sandy. It was a great weekend away with the kids and we had a lot of fun. We collected a few caches and built some sand castles here and there. thanks for this cache.

Found during a post MEGA cache raid of the area. Quick find with still a few bees around TFTC

See previous log. A large swarm of wasps appears to be nesting here. They will move on eventually I suppose. In the mean time, I don't believe the area is safe.

A big caching April's Fool Day for me while staying at a camp in Mt Martha for a day or two with the family. Firstly with geoson and a friend in the morning, and then in the arvo, I obtained permission to go out on my own - yes!!

I pulled up a few metres from the GZ, but a large swarm of wasps was inhabiting the shelter. I wasn't game to get out of the car. Looks like a nest. (I notice there was another cacher on the same day - braver then me)

I think this cache needs to be taken off line for a while - a night cacher could get a very nasty surprise.

Thanks megabogan.

Was in the area for a B'Day party. Nice easy find.

TNLN T4TC.
Cheers,
Ric

Found @1126 #1275
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.

Arrived at GZ and cache was spotted, but also spotted a large number of bees! Quickly grab cache and move away from GZ to be able to sign the log. Now looking at the structure from this location I notice the spot where the bees had made a hive or in the process of.
So a made frantic dash to return the cache and then to the car, hopefully not to be bitten in the process. I was lucky but fellow cachers be warn!!.

TFTC megabogan

One of four I found on my way to work this morning. Lots of passing traffic, but I didn't feel too conspicuous. Spotted very quickly, signed the log and was on my way. TFTC!

TFTC very easy find. Could be spotted from the car
