Checked on the cache today after a few not founds had been posted. The cache has unfortunately been muggled.
A replacement cache will replace the original as soon as possible, and close by to the original.
Thanks lennyboy

After gasping up hill, I think we were to buggered to look properly !?? Any clues would be welcomed!
Awesome cache!!! I have driven past this one so many times but had never been able to stop and look for it, and Im glad I did today... the calf busting walk up the hill was well worth the find..... TFTC
Finally had a chance to quickly walk down and grab this cache. It's been on my radar for a while now and I'm more than happy to put a smiley face to this cache!
Thanks lennyboy and beanie for the find

Pretty easy one to find. Had trouble with people walking but wasn't noticed. Also watch for spiders found a nice juicy one. But don't worry he's gone!
Another Monday had come around again, this time it was School Holidays and we had some extra time off, so that gave us more time to cache. Sfter picking up a few caches that had been on our Radar for some time we headed down to Geelong, to clean us several Puzzles that had been in our solved list for some time. Thanks lennyboy for the cache.
The Rebel and I took advantage of the school holidays and made our way back to Geelong today. After collected a few caches in Melbourne we travelled south and bagged 60 caches for the day. Some tricky finds and some tricky puzzle solves too. Thanks to all the CO's for their efforts, we had a great day and night out! Nice hide.
Found his cache whilst out with TR!, we did not approach this face from the easiest track but definitely enjoyed both the cache, the hide and the downhill skiing to get down to it.Thanks for your hard work!
Number 5 find for the day an easy find on a well constructed hide enjoyed the views and the history lesson. This cache should be around for a while with its robust construction TFTC
Good cache . Went down to Geelong today to go to caravan and camping show but thought I'd do a couple of caches first . Well yours was the last and as I was all cached up and the show was closed so I went home . So Thanks for a great thought out cache .
A nice quick find. Saying that , I like the cameo . It's durable and a good size.
Nice work.

Found! A good morn to walk up rhe hill & get the legs working. An easy cache to find, well done on home built cache. TFTC
Good morning to take young son and dog for walk, after pushing pram up cement works hill (it was a work out in itself) easy find signed log tnln.
Lovely little stroll to GZ, with some great views to boot. Interesting hide as well. TFTC lennyboy
Our first cache for cache a day month. Quick easy find even on the dark TFTC
My sincere apologies to all cache owners for what I am about to do. Unfortunately, I have been unable to keep up with my logs for the past 5 months or so, meaning that it is becoming very impractical for everybody involved. Over the these last few months I have certainly found some fantastic caches showing off both the beautiful areas around the world, and the ingenious minds of cachers alike. I haven't had the greatast find rate over the past few months, but that is also due to the same reason I have fallen behind in my logs. I would like to thank all cache owners for their wonderful contribution to the caching community, and again I sincerely apologise for the generic logs.
Thanks for this cache lennyboy

What a cool cache!! Ended up parking on the side of the road, joys of 4WD's and walking up to this one as I didn't see the carpark. Great place and history. Thanks
Our first find, so clever and awesome! Took a whole circle around it until we found it!
Oh my gosh! Thankyou so much =] you just made my day. It's my birthday and this was my 100th cache find! So very exciting =D I probably shouldn't be out exploring as its cold and windy and I'm not well. But you only live once. Gotta seize the day! Found this one pretty quickly. Fantastic hide/camo. Very well done. Awesome spot. Great views. Cool swaps. Cheers!!!
Stopped off returning 2 geelong from Inverleigh @ 3pm.
We found the camo but there was no cache, checked surrounding area as much as possible-suspect muggles may have found this cache.
Will check logs 2 keep updated as this is a fantastic location & we hope 2 revisit & actually discover the cache. Thanks

Headed out for a quick walk to find this one with my two geo sons, talk about a hill, glad we didn't bring our bikes with this one. Nice quick find and good camo hide. Interesting piece of history too, thanks for the cache lennyboy. TNLN
Sorry lennyboy 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 lennyboy for placing this cache.
Found 10:45, in the company of Muzza during our regular caching day out.
TNLN, CSI=2, thanks lennyboy.

Today was my monthly caching trip with Biggles Bear. Today we headed to Geelong for one cache in particular, and to pickup some others along the way. This one was picked up while travelling between waypoints for the Fyansford Mystery. It was a nice quick find. Thanks to lennyboy for the cache.
Find # 2644
Date 17th Feb 2013
Time 10:45 AM
Today was our regular caching day, although it was going to be quite a hot one, we were both keen to go and find The Mystery of the Fyansford Treasure Horde, the cache that everyone is raving about and we wanted to see what all the fuss was about.. So SedgwickDave picked me up at 7AM for a drive down to Geelong via Port Melbourne
We parked near the bottom of the hill and made our way back up on foot. Luckily we were not too exposed on this one as there were quite a few muggles walking, running and riding their bikes on the track below.

Was out and about today running with Ahomburg with today's focus The Mystery of the Fyansford Treasure Horde and while working thru the stages gather a few local caches along the way This was one of these caches and a nice quick find too. Like the style of hide on this one and its location. An interesting area. TFTC lennyboy and beanie

Find number 12 of 15 today. Had to back track to grab this one, I forgot it earlier. The Cementies may look like a bit of an eyesore now, but I like it. It looks very industrial. Adds character to the suburbs of outer Geelong. Thanks for the cache lennyboy.

Thanks for the history, always wondered about the works when many years ago on the odd trip would use this as a Geelong by-pass (the poor VW fully laden struggled but made it).

After taking the advice of the description on the best area to park we were rewarded with easy access to the GZ... if only we had listened to the hint as closely! The cache was found, retrieved (among some bull ants) signed and returned. TFTC!
Not sure I'd call the current location a 1.5 terrain but seems from previous logs there may have been some cache creep? Lots of memories of getting a run up down the hill and past the pub in the hope it would help my little bomb of a first car (which was older than I was) make the climb after the 90-minute trip from visiting grandparents. Looks very different now, of course, with the majority of the cement works demolished.
Picked up The Ghostmoot Woodrose to continue its journey.

Dropped off 'The Ghostmoot Woodrose' on our morning walk, so this TB can be on it's way in Australia! Given that this area has been tidied up by zealous council workers, we initially thought that they'd cleaned out the cache, too. However, closer inspection showed that the container has just wandered a little from it's original position. Signed log, dropped TB, took nothing. Happy trails to the next cacher who picks up this rambling bug!
Our morning walk option here. With an uphill return. Butterfly spied the cache hide immediately, much to the Nut's surprise!
Looked at first like it had been tampered with but found it in another spot tricky but findable tftc
