I've decided to archive this one. 3 times muggled. Can't risk someone losing another travel bug or coin. Thanks to everyone who found my 1st cache hide and visited my little park. Big Grin

Hi,
When will this be enabled? Currently my only un-found cache closest to home. Please do so soon.
Thanks, Jazza16 [^]
 
29-Feb-12
Will check this soon. Looks like it has been muggled again.
 
28-Feb-12
Couldn't see it anywhere
 
28-Feb-12
Geodad and geoson did a thorough search of GZ, but no cache was found. Wonder if it has been muggled?
 
17-Feb-12
We walked in from the narrow side to this nice park. Fortunately, no mini-muggles were in the playground as we were groveling all around the garden. The large cache was soon in hand.
Thanks, Robmc.
 
17-Feb-12
Found at 11:44 AM GAFF5 in the company of maccamob and Robmc. Not a huge fan of searching for caches in garden beds, so we gingerly poked around until it was found by David (I think?)
Thanks Wild Josh
 
17-Feb-12
Found by Mary & David, in company with pprass and robmc, at 1145. Hadn't caught up with the change of status on this one so it wasn't loaded in our GPSr. Tried to do a wireless transfer from robmc's device, but the two Garmins wouldn't cooperate. The cache itself was found after a bit of a search. Picked up "Maisy's Monkey Bug II" TB. Our thanks to Wild Josh.

16-Dec-11
Went to park and discovered that cache has been taken. No sign of it. Will replace soon in a slightly different location

Picked up TBs while finding a nearby frog. It is so good to see such as big cache with so many TBs in it!
 
04-Dec-11
Dropped off some tbs
 
26-Nov-11
Did some cache maintenance for Wild Josh. Buried the two dead rats. Cache can be grabbed from the front. Moved it slightly to the right. Dead rats were not near cache. It is still ok and tb still waiting to be moved.
 
21-Nov-11
Must of been lucky with no moggles but two dead rats made it a bit smelly and icky to find ... But got it in the end
 
13-Nov-11
Checked out cache today. It's still here guys. All ok. Come and find me

11-Nov-11

Checked cache this evening, cleaned cache out and dropped off TB Big Grin
 
23-Oct-11
This is one of 11 finds and 3 DNFs on a night caching run with Julz76.
This one has the funniest story. We parked in the nearby street and walked down the lane towards GZ only to find a muggle sitting on the play equipment on the phone with his dog. So we continued walking down, admired the sign, took lots of random photos and tried to wait him out. But he kept talking on his phone so we wandered over to the nearby table hoping to annoy him enough that he would leave. Instead he wandered over to strike up a conversation!! Aggghhh! When he asked what we were doing I made up some random story about waiting for a friend to come home and we thought we were too suspicious sitting on his fence. I'm not sure if it was the stupid story or our hysterical laughter that made him move on but he suddenly decided to go home! Yah! That gave us a deserted park to search, and I found the cache by kicking it with my foot! Thanks for the fun!
 
23-Oct-11
This one took a while as muggle and dog were in the park on arrival. I started taking random pictures of the sign, and stuff in the park. We got tired of waiting so sat at the table to wait him out a bit longer - talking rather loudly in the hope he would leave. He came over to start a conversation asking what were we doing. While I had my back to him, I was quickly trying to think of something plausible to say, when cathylm makes up some random story about waiting for a friend to come home, and we looked too suspicous sitting on the fence. Luckily I had my back to the guy as I was very close to tears of laughter! He must have decided we were crazy and left us the park to ourselves.
We promptly found and signed the log - and left before anyone else returned.

Found this one pretty quickly, nice little park. TFTC.

I was caching in Bentleigh today after going to Alfred Hospital for some research. Many long walks oh what a tiring day. 11 finds and 1 DNF but a good day all the same. The weather was lovely, not a drop of rain which was good cause the rain would've cut short my run.

This was one of the caches that I found today. Unlike the previous cache Get Bent, this was an easier and more straightforward find. Found without much problems. Light had faded so I did not have muggle issues like Get Bent. TFTC for such a large cache in an area like this, Wild Josh Smile
 
25-Sep-11
After being muggled out of the game at "Get Bent" it was nice to almost run upto this one and find it. Big Grin TFTC SL
 
24-Sep-11
A quick find - although you could easily overlook it. TFTC TNLN SL
 
23-Sep-11
A nice sized cache, but a little tricky to find with nearby muggles.

We had to hunt around but M beat his sister in finding it.

I drive past this street all the time - didn't know this park was here. Was having a little trouble with the GPSr not settling, but then found the well stocked cache pretty quickly. TFTC
 
05-Aug-11
This one had me walking in circles for a while, but fortunately the reserve was deserted for me. thanks for showing me Wild Josh.

2.21PM

After lunch today, I ventured out to attempt to fill in this day in the caching calendar. Arriving near GZ, this looked familiar and it was, I believe I attempted this one in Jan this year when it was missing. No such trouble today, nobody about, made the find very quickly.

Grabbed the TB that was left yesterday.

Thanks to Wild Josh for the Hide.
 
03-Aug-11
Nice and fairly easy find today. SL TFTC
 
17-Jul-11
i had to act as a diversion for the walenators but there were no muggles around.
 
16-Jul-11
After dropping the kids off at friends houses the weather was too nice to go straight home so I decided it was 'cache time'.
Luckily no-one was in this little park otherwise I would have looked suspicious especially without my kid cover. The cache was found quickly and where I expected it to be. I was surprised how many trinkets the cache contained. However as I was 'kidless' I signed the log and went on my way. TFTC.

Lucky for us no muggles today. Rhiua acted as diversion in case anyone turned up, but lucky for us they were all at the footy. TFTC

We found this cache today at 3:15pm as the 14th of 21 on our "Places I'd Been Before" Ramble near the Bay. This was the 4th cache on the list today that We'd already had a previous unsucessful go at. Now the cache has been replaced, we made light work of finding this today. Thanks from D & H B-A.

What an easy "find" today ... the container was sitting on top of the table ... with no one around. See photo. All content was still there, including the three TBs/GCs. I took all three. Tried to find a hide as close as possible to the posted coordinates but not sure if this is where the cache is meant to be. TFTC

*FTL* "First to Log" the new log book...

Thanks Wild Josh, this was my 3rd time lucky on this one after a failed attempt on the night it was published and another unlucky visit at some stage after it was muggled.. TNLN dipped GPS GC. Find #1015
 
03-Mar-11
Cache now up a going again. Same spot - same sized cache. Hopefully enough time has passed so whoever muggled it last time will not come back.
 
22-Jan-11
draw four and I went to visit and found no trace of the cache. There was a bit of rubbish in the garden. Will come up with a similiar cache with a camo top and give it one more try in a slightly different spot. Thanks for everyone who found and tried to find my first hide - Wild Josh Big Grin

[font=Comic Sans MS][red]I think this cache has been muggled ... Twisted[/red]
 
18-Jan-11
[font=Comic Sans MS][green]Had a good look around but there wasn't a box. Sad

18-Jan-11
Sad Have previously found this cache took Thing no1 and Thing no2 to find it today after they searched and could not find it I had a look and it must have been muggled we did find a nerf gun bullet close to GZ so that made us think kids must have found it while they where trying to find there bullets. Such a shame it was one of the best caches for swaps I have seen.
 
16-Jan-11
We too could not locate the cache. And it's generally not hard to find a big 2 litre cache! We fear this one's been muggled. No one around early Sun morning so had a very good search but no cache. Sad
 
15-Jan-11
2nd DNF for the day and if a previous finder cannot locate it then it may be missing. There may be some damage to the garden bed if it is unfindable.
 
06-Jan-11
Hi Wild Josh

I am going to the US tomorrow, and I decided to go to some caches with some TBs in them. This was on of them. However it was not there! We searched, and searched, but we could not find it! We have already fund it, so we did know the hiding spot. Anyway, check it out

Cheers

This was my closest unfound cache, and I got it after a number of foiled attempts.
I'd driven past a few other times but there were always young children and mothers,
and on one occasion a couple of love struck teenagers sitting under the playground equipment staring into each other's eyes.
Anyway, full marks for the large cache and the well stocked contents. Marks off however for locating it so close to a playground.
Despite this, a very nice cache. It was dry and in good condition after all the rain.
I didn't swap anything but I did take a GC and a TB to help move them along on their respective journeys.
Thanks for this nice cache, a very good first effort.
