Rosstown Rail Trail #3 Oakleigh Road Reserve Ormond, Victoria, Australia
By YugiTea559 on 08-Aug-10. Waypoint GC2D1GZ

The coordinates were pretty spot on here and in seconds GeoSon had his hand on it. Nice little hide. TFTC YugiTea559.

These caches have been a great series and we are very sorry that we are archiving them. We have been lazy in maintaining these caches and I think this is the best decision.

Love this hiding spot but didn't like the leech inside the hole! SL. TFTC.
Our Travel Bugs Payed a Visit too!

Yay clever and well hidden cache! No climbing required

A muggle or two walking by but they were spaced out and i was able to have a good look around. A nice quick retrieve and an interesting position, hiding place and camoflauge, nice hide and beautiul area.

Very clever little hide. Got a splinter from a piece of wood but removed safely. (luckily) Very clever hiding spot, although it was saturated in water. Needs new log. 4/7caches for the day.

9 caches on our first trip out. Awesome fun can't wait to get out and do some more.

Third of 11 for the day, with Crouching Cranes, cache was viewed from the car - added a bit more cover when we returned it to GZ . tftc.

A pretty easy find and we're off to the next cache. Tftc

No problems

well i didn't write this one down since i thought that i would areawdy have enough nearby caches to mums fabric shops, but it was on the way to the next cache on my list, when i remembered seeing this one on the map. knowing that it was about in the middle of the park, had 4 fav points and that it was a small, i had a pretty good chance. after one or two likely locations i found the cache neslted away. TFTC!!!

TFTC SL lovely day for a cache run

Another cache linked to an interesting part of history. Thanks YugiTea559. One of 14 caches found today, out and about in beautiful Melbourne!

A lovely park, gorgeous day to be out and about chasing caches. Very easy find.

We dropped MMelb off at a party and set off for an afternoon of caching with lemmykc's The TRUE Birdies cache being our goal. After finding that one we decided we would just head back towards home grabbing any caches that took our fancy on the way, this being one. We arrived and there were 2 kids nearby GZ so we just wrote our log book up in the car until they left. We then approached GZ but there were more people coming down the track so we had a rest. After a couple of minutes the coast was clear and so we started looking and found the cache straight away, surprised we hadnt seen it approaching GZ. It was there for all the world to see! (will send photos to you if you want) The last log was something along the lines of "Found whilst doing tree work"
We replaced in the same spot but covered it up so you couldnt see it but you might want to check it is in the right spot.

Was early to a car inspection and thought there might be a cache on the track... 28 meters later we had it.

Found by Mary & David at 1145. We could imagine a train along this narrow strip. The huge oak tree and magnolia were our favourites. Our thanks once more to YugiTea559.

Thanks YugiTea559

Nice hide TFTC!

nifty little hiding spot.

Third time's a charm! After trying this cache a few times over the last year or so we always seemed to get there not long after the cache had been muggled. This time was a treat. We checked that there had be others finding it recently and off we went. Great little cache in a great hiding place. Closest cache to our house! TFTC!!!

So obvious but only to the educated. Great little spot. TFTC

Cool hide!

An easy find for all the family

Quick find. Thx.

Grabbed a few easy ones as I cycled past this evening, a beautiful mild night. TFTC

i had to use my sharp thinking on this one.
there was a man sitting near G.Z.
i managed to sneak up, quickly grab it.
then i sat on the ground on the other side of the ####.
signed it and quickly popped it back.[:x]

Find # 1257

Continuing on my quest to find a cache on every day of the year for my project 366 I decided to give this one another go. After my 2 previous attempts, today I realised I was searching in the wrong spot the other times. Today, after waiting for a council worker to clear off I made the find in super quick time. Finally I can cross this one off my list. Noce Hiding spot.

Thanks to YugiTea559 for the cache.

Took Pathtag and left pathtag.

Searched around a fair bit for this one, high, low inside out. Finally the squirrel in us came out. Tftc. Tn l: pathtag. Thanks for this rail trail series.

Nice day for a stroll with Haveanez from the Gunn reserve. Only a couple of muggles to contend with but nothing difficult.
Really like the history of this line. Well done on the info.

Cheers.

Made our way to this cache with DJ Rascal after parking nearby at E.E Gunn reserve.
Another beaut spot for a cache in a nice "leafy" reserve.
A nice spot to sit and log the cache.
Many thanks for the series thus far. TNLN SL. Cheers.

Very quick find as it was almost out in the open - not sure it is where it started in life as a cache but left it where it was but hopefully a bit more hidden TFTC

17:00
Another interesting spot in the series and a quick find by H-P as P-P looked elsewhere.

TNLN . . SL . . Thanks for the hunt YugiTea559.

Buckethead makes the find. Nice park. TFTC

I liked this hide. Took me a little while to locate it in the dark and longer to wait for some muggles to clear to return it. TFTC

Love the hide. Excellent cache; gets a favourite point from me.

Left geocoin.

Thanks for the cache, and the series, although I'm finding too many muggles at lots of them!

Just checked out.

All safe and sound.

Cute little find ... Out for a nice walk P & W

A nice quick find - TFTC

This one was a fun find! Well disguised so took a minute or two to find, nearly caught by muggles and scary spiders! Thanks!

found it with eas

I could see this one from the car. It was a little exposed and almost falling out of it's hiding place. Signed the log and poked her back in and covered with a sprinkling of Squirrel Camo. T4TC

Great spot but grumpy neighbours! Took tattoos and button and left doll and flower hairclip. TFTC

Out for another fathers day run with my eldest son. His eagle eyes spotted the cache. Nice hide but no room for nuts! TFTC SL

Found this one straight away, visible from outside so decided to cover it up a bit better. TFTC.

It was well camoed in the dark. Nevertheless found with a keen eye. There seems to be some sounds coming from the tree though..hmm.. TFTC:)

Easy find. TFTC

Third time lucky! Out with the dogs for a stroll and after considering all options mad the find. Thanks for the strolls (all three). TNLN.

I have visited this reserve before, stopping to have fish and chips one night with a work colleague. We dined within metres of this cache! Tonight, I fluked spotting something a little too unnatural as I approached GZ - a quickly located the cache. Have enjoyed reading about this series for ages, learning all about the forgotten Rosstown Railway. TFTC

Found together with nadya.

Quick find. TFTC!

Quick enough find again due to the spot-on co-ords.
Another clever hide from YugiTea559, and another in the series crossed off.
Thanks for the series so far, enjoying the variety.

Easy to find, even when there were a lot of spider webs.

Found with Thing no1 and Hearse068 nice hide. SL TNLN TFTC

Found with Thing no1 and Thing no2. The start of our walk along Rosstown Rail Trail in the hope of some cache finds. Hoping that they are all as easy as this one with no muggles about on such a lovely Autumn day. T1L1 SL TFTC

crochetboi had this one in hand very quickly.

This was a fairly easy find.

Almost a drive by.

I parked metres away and was lucky to see in the first spot that I actually looked.

Found @0955 #380
The 2nd Rosstown rail trail cache found this morning. Indeed these would be best done by bike.
An easy quick find, nice hide almost didn't spot it.
TFTC, TNLN

Good hide, great location. SL.
TFTC, Merann.

At last after 6 visist I used my brain and found it well done very good location

Found 10.00am
Managed to park very close to GZ, once out of the car the cache hiding place was easy to find as the cache was exposed. Covered up a bit better upon its return.

TNLNSL
Thanks YugiTea559

Great Little Hiding Spot. Retrieved Cache with ease but took a while to replace so many muggles.

TFTC

Clever hide,
RHPS has her hands on this one first!
TFTC

I had the old coords loaded up so they sent me on the obligatory wild goose chase, in my confusion I whipped the iPhone out and found that there were some new coords, leading only a tiny distance away. A few seconds later I spotted the kind of obvious hiding spot, Tansey's recent DNF would have been pretty tough to pull off An easy hide nowadays, a cool little spot that seems designed for the container.

Well hidden, took a while to find it.
TFTH. SL

Finally found it with the new co-ordinates. Great hide. Left Tommi's Happy Eastern 2009 Geocoin.

Three goes at this one and I still cannot find it oh well

Loved it. So obvious! Except it wasn't there! Coninued looking and found it. TFTC SL TNLN

Found by Eden of Kat Kids who also found our second geocache. We hunted and hunted and then realized we were at wrong spot and Eden looked a little harder and found it. Took eraser and left a mini doll. TFTC

Thanks for pitting this back up online. Hide is great. TFTC. SL.
