Probably needs to be archived. I can't contact him, and I notice that his other cache has been already.
I'm pretty sure I took the less picturesque way to this cache, via the drain and not the park. Immature me kept giggling at the park and cache name on the way hahaha. Coordinates good and cache right where I expected it to be. Also collected some spiky twigs in my hoodie ouch! Thanks to a previous finder, cache and logbook in good condition. Back out via the drain, having palpitations about the shady character below who kept quickening his pace to get level with me. Creepy. TFTC 
Went back there and left a new log book - because the old one had been torn up - and a few small items for people to swap.
I'm pretty sure I found where it was supposed to be. Might need to check out. Thanks all the same
did find his cache in its secondary position, where it is sitting, waiting for others to find, about 20 metres south of coordinates
My GPSr was jumping around here so could not get proper numbers for actual location
It seems that someone does not like this cache as today there was only the torn log book no replacement book in container although every thing else looks like it is here, a pen, a CD, and baggie with older book

Cache found according to previous posted coordinates, not the listed ones, thanks for the walk here
Thanks for moving the cache, it does not seem to have been muggled since.. Lots of room for swaps, just not a lot have survived.. Tftc
Unfortunately this cache has hit a rough patch. I found it strewn across the grass about 50m away from where it should have been. The container itself is still intact, the current logbook is gone, and the secondary 'moldy' logbook was a couple of meters away and fairly ripped up. Luckily I have a spare notebook on me, which I've put in for the interim. I've hidden it 20m south (205 degrees) under a gum tree at S37 45.651 E144 56.090 to keep it away from our vandal until the CO has time to come and check it.
Well I found it, but not the way I wanted to. Found on the lawn 50m with its contents strewn across the grass. Looking at old logs this isn't the first time this has happened, so I've hidden it 20m south (205 degrees) under a gum tree at S37 45.651 E144 56.090 to keep it away from our vandal until the CO has time to come and check it. See my needs maintenance log for more details

I suspect this one might have suffered from a bit of cache creep with all the muggling, tried up and down the fence for ages to no avail and well past where the coordinates suggested. Might need a touch of love from the CO just to ensure all is well?
Found it. Sadly a muggle did too as it was lying on the grass at the bottom of the hill open and in plain sight. We re-hid it up the slope as best we could.
Surprising big and very easy find in a little pocket of forest.
Thanks Loopyfo - Good one

Found it with a group of old Census friends and mtpodol, I think I may have converted another
The container was in the open with the lid off, that must have happened recently as there was no water in it. the new logbook was full so we used the old mouldy one.
Took nothing, left a McDonalds Minion.

My 2nd find. Took a bit of hunting to find. Had a couple of newbie's with us.

Easy to find. Had a bunch of toys, stickers and a CD inside. 2nd logbook is running out of empty pages.
We found it easily today as it was left uncovered. We pulled it out from its now obvious hiding place and filled the log and returned it making sure it was properly covered. Liked the homemade logbook! Also enjoyed falling/sliding down the hill on our return journey. TFTC******* [ ]
]We set off in the rain and enjoyed the walk along the drain!!! Found the cache easily!!!! Owen from Sydney Road Community School. TFTC
Out on a caching run with pantherx on a mild Melbourne evening
Its the third time we have visited this cache with no luck due to it been muggled but now we can cross this one off the list. It was a nice easy find in the end.

I was out caching with Burge tonight... our first run in many months but we still managed 15 finds. We didn't really have a plan for where we were going but ended up on a bit of a loop from the CBD to the north and back.
This was our third visit to this spot after two prior DNF's. Thankfully the cache was waiting for us this time and we can finally cross it off the map. Thanks for the hide, Loppyfo!

A fun find for the kids who enjoyed the scramble up the hill. Unfortunately all the swag had gone, so we left some dinosaurs for the next people. We also had to be extra careful that the builders on the site next door weren't paying attention. Tftc.
Very easy find. Could see it from 100m away!! Have 'concealed' it a bit better. Tftc
We found this cache today at 3:55pm as number 10 of 10 on our Keilor to Mooney Valley Tour. "A" made the find here as well for 4 in a row. I had climbed the railing twice for what turned out to be no apparent reason as it was on the same side as we originally were. Thanks from D, HA and A B-A.
.....a real easy one for those like us starting out....well done! my kids enjoyed the quest
I found you. Nearly got caught by a guy walking his dog near the location. Good spot will bring back a picolo or goku to add next time
Easy find. We came along the bike path after finding another one nearby (a rock and a hard place). No Lucy figurine: two other female figurines: one from Despicable Me and other not sure. We took the trophy and left a loom band we found in Geelong and a Movember wristband.
Could someone please check and see if there is a Lucy (peanuts character) in the cache? Much appreciated.
Nice park replaced a small toy and guitar pick. A dream of mine is to be able to play.
Found this one today. I was after some caches with more unusual difficulty/terrain (D/T) ratings and this was one that was nearby work that met that criteria. I made this one much harder for myself than it needed to be - I started off on the correct side and then re-thought it and so ended up on the wrong side of the fence. I then decided to climb the fence rather than walking the extra distance to walk around it. The fence was higher than expected but eventually the cache was found. Log was signed and the cache rehidden a bit better than I found it.
Thanks for the cache Loppyfo.

This cache is perfectly suited for a cycling-caching-trip.... just initially I was on the wrong side of the "fence" but with a little detour I eventually reached the right side and found the cache quickly. Luckily this one was big enough for me to leave a TB inside. This one is on a race and unfortunately I currently don't get the chance to travel long distances. So, I hope, it will soon be found by someone who can take it to some more remote destinations 
TFTC!

Having lunch locally at a friends house and they mentioned that their muggle children had accidentally found this cache one day while at this park. We decided to have a walk to find it while the sun is shining. Quick find. Great sized cache!! All in good condition. TFTC
A quick find in the first place we looked!
Great sized cache for the kids, and perfect for me to leave the over sized TB that has been travelling with me for some time
Enjoy your rest here, Lucy! And happy travels!

A slight little detour here to pick up this cache for its unique dt. Nice little spot and glad I came here. Tftc
Thanks well hidden took a while to uncover it - lots of great treasure inside
Took TB and left key chain torch . Cache is in great condition and well camoed but there has been some recent tree cutting just down the hill from the cache ( local council I think ) CO might want to take a look . Thanks
Found it quite easy. Good little hide. Yes, the trackable is still in there. We didn't take it as we only part time Geocache, so left it for enthusiasts. Cheers.
When benro24 visited this cache, I believe they left a geo coin of mine there, Chirstmas Card Geocoin 2012, they were having trouble placing so have grabbed it back and am now placing electronically from the UK.
Perhaps the next visitor could let me know the coin is indeed in the cache, thanks, and hello from the UK, Wibsey Wench, bug owner x

Nice little hidden nook! Found this on a trip along the moonee ponds creek looking for all nearby caches.
