Logs
As there's been no cache to find or log to sign for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.
Due to many finds, wet logs and other complaints,
This cache is Temporarily on its Holiday. Please do not attempt to find when this disabled.
I will put this back online once it has its 'HOLIDAY'.
Thanks.
Mr.Tracker. Building a whole new cache.

Found @ 15:25hrs.As mentioned in previous logs the log sheet is very damp and requires replacing.
Up in Melbourne for the day. While waiting for my dentist appointment, a short distance away, I had time to locate this one. Princess Poodle Pants and I had a nice little stroll to GZ. The hiding place was quite obvious, to a cacher, and I knew it would be hidden there. The previous logger mentioned that the log was damp, and I ditto that. I suggest that a new cache container be obtained. Thanks for the diversion while waiting to get my teeth cleaned. TFTC
We parked close by, maybe 90 metres away. There were a lot of nooks and crannies at GZ but we finally found the container at 4:25pm. It is cracked and the log was very damp but managed to sign it. TFTC
Hmmm..
"Series this is a very easy and singe cache anybody can find this under 1 Minute."
If this is the case, I would suggest that the cache location needs to be checked.
coley_babee, walenators and myself spent some time searching the area by torchlight at some ridiculous hour pre-flash mob event.
Didn't find the cache, but did find someones caching notes left nearby suggesting that someone else has been searching here in the past two days.
We'll be back.

Drizzle starting to fall and a few muggles around so was pleased when this one was found at 9am after only a few minutes searching.

Found at 3.00pm GAFF1. We have been to this park many times and it is always a pleasure to return especially when there is a cache to do. Just a few muggles about and the cache was found not in under a minute - maybe 2 or 3!
Thanks Mr. Tracker.
Thanks Mr. Tracker.
Out with my good mate Marty (Quasar3571) tonight for a caching run around the Eastern and South Eastern suburbs. One we had been meaning to do for a long while now done. TFTC. Nice park BTW even if it was dark.
Out with my good mate Blacklegend (Marshy) tonight for a caching run around the Eastern and South Eastern suburbs. We parked at the shops at the corner of the main intersection and followed the track around to GZ. Plenty of hiding spots where the cache could be so I was glad to find it whithin a minute. Thanks Mr Tracker.
The second of two in the very pleasant park on this beautiful Anzac Day. It took a bit of scratching around but we finally found the cache at 16:40.
TNLNSL, although our BYO pen geocoin had a visit to mark the occasion. Thanks Mr.Tracker.

Sratch around a likly GZ for about 5min before trying another not to far away and within 1 mintue the cache was found easily. I think I would have found this quicker if I had not been using the car GPS today.
Cache is well and contents is dry. TFTC.

We went and looked with the help of GeoDog and FuzzyGem. Ten minutes into the search, with eight of us looking, we still couldn't find anything! Not as easy as the description says...
Biggles Bear #1 and myself attempted this one a short while ago, when it either wasn't there, or wasn't able to be found. Today I returned and, after a while searching, eventually came up with the goods. Thanks for the cache.
Found at 6.00pm

Had just completed some caches in the area and decided to wander a little further. Completed at 1345hrs after I had watched the GPSr going in circles and doing some close investigation of the immediate area. I must have disturbed the cache with my prodding however it was Peter (Tank47) who made the final grab. TNLNSL Thanks again Mr. Tracker for another in your series.
Found at 1345hrs seventh on a Geocache day. Found with KI Bug with a lets clean up Wattle Park proposition. After completing "Barking Mad" we continued our walk to this cache, had us looking for longer than 1 minute when KI Bug was poking from one side I saw the container in the light he had let in. TNLNSL, thanks "Mr.Tracker" for the cache.
at 10:31 on our visit to Melbourne from Brisbane.
TFTC again Mr.Tracker. This cache is also fine.

After our failed attempt in January we found ourselves back at Wattle Park today as e-facit is using areas of the park for a school project. While e-facit and Mrs Facit collected some important data s-facit and I slinked off to have a go at this cache. Unlike other recent finders it took me a fair while to find this cache, covering GZ then moving further a field before returning after s-facit had given up for a last desperate search that came up with the cache. It required me to do something I'm always a bit cautious about, but the cache was soon in my hand.

Out on an unplaned Caching run with Dunko hide hide was found without a problem at GZ TFTC SL
10 second find today. It was good not to spend much more time on this location. Thanks for maintenance. TFTC. SL.
We could not find this last week and were glad to see that it was back up online. Took us about 10 minutes of searching primarily away from where we searched last time. We found it where we had only looked fleetingly previously.
Thanks Mr Tracker for replacing the cache and we look forward to more, although don't ruin your teeth getting your novel cache containers

Well this log ends the recent saga with this cache. Yes I found it. Took a good search to locate but it finally I can say it is definitely there. Thanks to Mr Tracker for his maintenance and nice shiny new log and also for putting this one here in a nice part of the park. SL

Like many very experienced cachers before us we were unable to find this one.
Mr Tracker, please, oh please, go and check on this one so we can all know whether we are all going mad or not.
(I think it is gone, in which case you may like to disable, archive or replace. Replace would be best.)

This was the last cache attempted by Biggles Bear #1 and myself today. At GZ we looked around for a while without luck. A quick check of recent logs indicated that others had not found it, so we looked a bit longer, then abandoned. Could the cache owner please disable until it can be checked? Thanks.
Mr. Tracker,
Can I suggest that you disable this cache (you create a "Temporarily Disable Listing" log) until you have an opportunity to visit and confirm it's existence or loss. There have been quite a few DNFs and your "Owner Maintenance" log on the 18th January really should have been a "note" as you have not yet performed maintenance. Once you have checked the cache or replaced the container you can then post a "Owner Maintenance" log and enable the cache (using an "Enable Listing" log), this will tell everyone that the cache is repaired and ready to be found. The "Owner Maintenance" log will also remove the "Needs Maintenance" attribute that my log will add to the cache page (Red Cross in the top right corner)
Regards Peter

Had a real good look around all the obvious spots at GZ but no luck, even had more experienced help which didn't help
Not found by Facitman and Mrs Facit 15:30
After successful finds on 3 other caches in this great park we wandered down towards this cache. We ran into gmj3191 who we had met at the other caches as he departed GZ empty handed. The three of use combed GZ but were unsuccessful today. We'll have another go after the owner has had a look!

I had a good look for this one.
As I was leaving Facitman and Mrs Facit arrived, so I went back and we pooled our searching talents, without luck however.
I think an owner check may be warranted as the DNFs are building up.

If we have time, we will check the cache if there are any problems.

Despite the merry dancing of the GPS position, I looked high and low for this cache but (like Slink1) came up wanting :-\
Well I got a surprise when I found this cache. I haven't seen one of these used as a cache container before. Thanks Mr.Tracker for the cache.
Found @ 10:40 while out riding this morning trying to do a clean up of the area. Found after searching in the wrong spot first. TFTC SL
Found @ 18:30 after a failed attempt just after it was born. It was exactly where I thought it must have been but was absent on my previous visit. It seems to have a new log sheet as well as I was 2nd to log. Oh well, I have it now. TNLNSL TFTC
Another quick and simple drive by cache, again with spot on coordinates. Thanks again for a well done cache Mr. Tracker.

Decided that today was too good a day to not go caching. Took my 2 Geoboys out to grab a few before dinner.
This was certainly a different cache container.

Nice easy find on the way home from work. I noticed that there are two trams resting here now. Great fun for the kids. This is where we came for our Sunday school picnics some 50 years ago.
Thanks for bringing me here.

A very familiar place for caches and found on a lovely day doing a handful of caches with Listmaker. For some reason her identical GPS sent her over there while mine said over here, where the find was quickly made.
Thanks to Mr Tracker for the hide.

I've done quite a number of caches in this large park by now, so I had no trouble finding my way there on my way in to work this morning. There were a number of wps for an old multi in this section and an old cache by kiwideb wasn't too far away. I was nearing GZ, when I noticed a pair of Rainbow Lorikeets (evidently) nesting in a nearby hollow tree and took a few moments to check them out. As I was writing my entry, I noticed the time was 1100 (on the 11 Nov), so I paused for a minute to reflect on the significance of that time and date.

After finding the nearby Pining but not Lonesome cache we walked over to this one for an easy find.
We could hear frogs nearby as we signed the log
We then did a big circuit of the park back to the car.

Found at 18:18 hrs. Another park that I've visited many times, geocaching included. This is another place where it would be nice to find more than a mico. None the less, neat little hide. Also I believe they are trams nearby, not trains. Last find for the day before cycling home. TFTC.
Since it is not water proof please put every thing back WHERE YOU FOUND IT.
If there is any problems ask me and I will replace the micro cache.

Dropped by here on the way to work today, and as promised, I did have it in hand within a minute and with some time to spare.
Turns out I know Mr.Tracker, although I didn't realise it at first when we FTF'd his first cache about 150m from home! The young Mr.Tracker is in the same Scout troop as my son, and may have been spurred on by a recent geocaching event I helped organise for the scouts in this very same park!
Thanks Mr.Tracker - A very nice placement. Probably the best of your three caches to date.

With these new caches invading my nice clear radius around home I decided to pick this one up on the way home - being not too far out of my way, and I was curious to see what a 'singe' cache was
A quick park nearby, then a stroll through the park to GZ - a few possible places it could be, but it turned up soon enough tucked away in its hide. Signed log - TTF it seems... Everytime we do one of these Wattle Park caches we appreciate this expanse of bushland - and by the many joggers, walkers and bikers, obviously others do too!

It is out in the front of a friends house.
Good Luck for me putting it there.
I Do Have Permission.
NO Midnight caches can go there... "Very tight security" They Say.
