Logs
As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been a number of months since the last owner note. 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/make available the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it. Should you replace the cache after 30 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.
The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 30 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness. If you require more time please be sure to post a note (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the page and post a note every month or so to keep everyone up to date.

Needs disabling no log half a foot of mulch. Previous needs maintenance doesn't appear to have been acted upon
Needs a bit of a check - seems to have been muggled (accidently) by Council or swallowed by the very nice mulching job around GZ.
As per previous finders - it seems this one is victim to council's clean up and mulching crew.
Whilst visiting a relation in Boxhill we tried to get some caches on the way but unfortunately we were unable to find this one due to the same problem the last DNF geocacher stated "I think the council may have done the job on this one with plenty of piles of mulch around the gz. If this one is not muggled I dare say it is buried alive." So perhaps Team Wilcox could check it out please?
I think the council may have done the job on this one with plenty of piles of mulch around the gz. If this one is not muggled I dare say it is buried alive.
We spent some time looking, but far too much new tan bark around. Piles of it to be exact. Suspect it may be buried someplace.
This was the easiest find of the day because the object the cache used to be hidden in is no longer in existence so the cache is just sitting on the ground. I think it may need to be moved a bit, it looks like the council have been doing maintenance, cleaning up logs and putting down new tan bark. TFTC.
Pleasant walk at sunset with minimal muggle activity. Tight squeeze for the logbook!
Gunks, TigerAd, Geodog, Geotorch and Geopen on a Sat night caching, hoping to find enough to justify a Malteser Mcflurry reward. TFTC
Found it without too much trouble. Got the log signed and all hidden just in time before a female muggle came jogging past. TFTC.
Wandered out waiting for geodaughter's never-ending ballet rehearsal to find this and a few others in the area. A little after 7.00pm, it was fairly quiet, but a few muggles did appear unexpectedly. Found the cache and acted contemplative on the seat, signed the log and returned.
Very happy to do this one first as when I returned form #2, a muggle and his dog were right at GZ playing with balls...tennis balls!
Thanks for the cache, Team Wilcox.

Sat on the comfy bench for a moment while looking for the micro, then I found out the title was a bit of a red herring. Located the cache easily.
Didn't need to sit on this one! Nice place for a hide, but I too had flowers stuck all over me!!!
Nice and quiet here today, have just come from #2. A caching outing for geo mum and son after swimming lessons. Quick find. TFTC
Just found it's counterpart, so off to this one. Found easy enough, but the "blossom" off the nearby tree is now permanently stuck to my jumper.
Thanks for the cache Team Wilcox.

Found @ 11:20pm, find # 1650.
This was my second visit to this location, this time I didn't have any trouble finding the cache even though the hint did not match up to where I found the cache, but it does now.
There was a backing dog which was giving me the s#%$s.

Found along with Josiey (althouh she has already previously found it) she left the finding up to me and I soon had the canister in hand.. Its a cold wet night and I didn't have a jacket it was some 25mins later however before the rain started again so we were nearly back where we started.. grabed the sister cache abit later for the cache a day benefit of Josiey.. funny how it works out some times.. although it was great that we could both get a find and share a find within walking distance.. Thanks Team Wilcox for the hide, Find #2792
Found @ 12.20 pm
Working on a new house in Sutton Pde so i had to stop to log this hide

Found with nirgalagrin... now I have my own account.
15:33
After spending the last couple of days cleaning the house, it was time to go out and play. Geodaughter got some good navigation practice while I played chauffer.
Now the hard part... where to cache? Over the Chandler bridge, then head east, looked like a plan.
Not quite where I expected to find it, by the hint.

Went at the wrong time of day as there were many muggle-dogs out for an evening walk, so I returned next morning and found it quickly
Looking under wattle tree when muggle walks passed with his dog, he didnt say a thing Thanks for hide Team wilcox
Found @ 13:40hrs.Found after earlier finding "Dont Sit On Me #2".Hint threw me for a while.Thanks "Team Wilcox"
This is the closest cache to home so I made it the fifth and final one for today. Often walk the beagles in this and adjoining parks, which used to be a river bed. Fortunately I met a neighbour walking her dog before I got to GZ. I had to explain that my tired beagle companions had been taken home for a rest (didn't mentioned 'well-earned' from helping me find several caches today!). However, unfortunately when I got to GZ I had to wait for a mum wearing roller blades and her 2 kids, with bright pink ones, to stop traversing the path in front of GZ and go home. After waiting and then searching for a while, found the plastic bag with container at 6pm. The new paper, placed by a previous finder, was slightly damp but OK to sign. TFTC Team Wilcox. Great to have some caches within walking distance of home.
Found at 11:42 AM GAFF1 in the company of maccamob and Robmc. Neat and quite little park. After No. 1 we were not expecting the hide to be where it was.
Thanks Team Wilcox
Thanks Team Wilcox
Found by Mary & David, with pprass and robmc, at 1140. After #2, this spot wasn't quite what we expected, but it was pretty clear where we needed to look. This time, Peter did the honours. Our thanks again to Team Wilcox.
We completed the second one first, so we finished off this park with theis cache.
Thanks, Robmc.
Thanks, Robmc.
Found @ 17:40. I was in the area with a little time to kill. I made a find on a nearby cache and still had some time up my sleeve. This was an easy find but I had to be circumspect with a family sitting in their front yard in view of my approach to GZ. The container had some damp paper but also some nice crisp new paper placed by a previous finder today and is also in a plastic bag (Thanks for that).
Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and while being circumspect was eyeballed by a passing young lass, who also walked past me at my previous find - possibly she thought I was stalking her.
Thanks for the cache Team Wilcox.

Since my other half had a date with his Mother at the Opera today, I decided it was the perfect time to nip out and pick up a few guilt free caches. Having passed a couple of hours caching with Pathfinder24, I dropped him home and headed out again on my own for a few more caches on the way home..... OK they were a massive detour, but can’t be helped! I had to hunt around for this cache for way too long, it should have been that hard, I think I must have been getting tired. When I found the cache it was in a bit of a sorry state. The log book is very wet, as is the additional sheet geo_jas added to the cache. Looks like it needs a little TLC
Decided to do a few caches on the way home from work since it was such a nice night.
Searched in the spot as suggested by the cache name, but I was not close enough moved closer and found the cache.

Hunted high, low, and widened search pattern but to no avail. Looks like council or land care have done a bit of a clean up recently, so w prev dnf also, might be worth-while checking if it's still there
Had to give up. Weather closing in and out of time. Looked in the obvious places
Found quickly on a detour from my trip to Bunnings. The bag had holes so I replaced it. Log is full so I signed the extra piece of paper. Thanks Team Wilcox for another quick drive by.
Second time lucky for this one. My first boyfriend lived nearby so coming here brings back memories.
Caching in Mont Albert north today. The white cotton stuff made the leaves sticky. Cache was found after a short search. Thanks for a replacement log Square Pegs. TFTC Team Wilcox
Out for another lunch walk - they are getting longer! Lots of cotton like material falling from the tree above. Fast find but thanks to Square Pegs for the slip of paper which is the only real log at this time. TFTC SL

The wattle is definitely in bloom, as I carried a fair bit of away with me on my clothing. As the log book is full, left a small slip of paper as a temporary log.
Thanks for the cache.
Thanks for the cache.
tried this one a while ago. but didnt go back until today. log book is full.[:x]
Found this one today. I had tried to find this one once before with Irontoad but was unsuccessful that time. I looked again today and found it quite easily. The log is full but I managed to find a place to write.

Quick find, only interrupted by a couple persistent in playing with their dogs in the park. Needs a new log book ASAP.
The log book, other than inside the front cover (which will take maybe one find) is ABSOLUTELY FULL. I didn't have materials to add pages or I would have, sorry.
Found, in the dark. (OK, I used the hint; with cloud cover the GPSr coordinates were pretty vague.) Thanks for the cache. Good to see the 35mm film canisters haven't all gone yet!
I had to make my find while a nearby mowing guy was otherwise occupied but eventually I found the right spot. The log book is almost full.
Out with CamBendy. Having just done "Don't sit on me #2" we knew what we were looking for. The hint was a bit misleading but gave us enough of an idea to do a thorough search and we finally turned up the cache. Signed the log and moved on to the next. TFTC.

Team Mornington was here today on a cold drizzly caching day in the area.
Hazey1, Biger12, Geobrat2000 and myself teamed up to take advantage of the school holiday freedom.
Easy find, but cache has a very wet log.

Needed to find a cache today as we are filling in all the days of our calendar. After a failed attempt on another cache, tried and succeeded on this one - although it was looking dodgy for a while. A few people walking dogs this morning, but found it after they'd gone. TFTC.
nice little park in the middle of suburbia, we arrived to find many people walking their dogs.
After patting a few and talking to owners, we headed straight to the cache!!!

Found in the company of coley_babee.
As we approached the cache, we spied an older couple walking their dog, a lovely labradoodle. We stopped to chat and admire their gorgeous dog whom we showered with many pats.
We even met his black labrador friend when his owner came over to the park.
Cache didn't take too long to find either.
Thanks again Team Wilcox for this cache.

A quick and easy find in the dark and by torch light. We quickly returned the cache and left before a muggles started to walk past. Thanks Team Wilcox. TFTH...SL...TNLN
After attending the Chase the Cache at Docklands and the 9999 + 1 event, walenators took me on a caching run.
Leaving mrs walenators and their daughter in the car, mr walenators and I headed in for the hunt. We started at either sides of the tree, he with a torch, me with my iPhone LED. After a short time his night caching experience (I am going with that excuse) came through and he held up the cache. We signed the log and got out of there before a muggle came past
Thanks for the cache Team Wilcox
Cheers

A couple of quick cache's with TWDG while Mrs' E and TWDG made Sunday Roast.
Initially mistook this for a bit of rubbish lying there, but then realised it was the cache! Tftc.
well hidden although the bag got a bit slimy and dirty the log book was still good part of my afternoon caching run TFTC
Left work earlier than usual to look for a couple of caches that have been on our list for some time This was the first which was found at 5pm despite a couple of lads playing on the path. However they were too preoccupied on something else and ignored my stealthy activity. TNLN TFTC
EB Nano decided he needed a bathroom, now! Thank heavens there were a couple of trees here. Made sure we directed him AWAY from GZ! Always fun caching with small children, wouldn't be the first time he's taken short & wet where we have been searching! Gratefully the Chief had it signed & replaced before Nano could start shouting, "Have you found it yet, Dad?" His stealth mode needs turning down a notch at times.
Found by The Empire @ 3:25pm with The Lone Random

Quick-ish find - I had just disappeared into the bush when a muggle jogger and her child appeared. She stopped and used the nearby bench to step up and down but moved on soon after. I had already decided to tell her about the fascinating world of spiders and how great the specimens under this bush were, in case she asked me what in earth I was doing there. Luckily, my extremely limited knowledge of our 8-legged friends wasn't tested! TFTC
Another long day at work, to finish a long week at work, Ostara74 and I headed out to get some dinner and thought a quick cache before dinner would be a good idea. Took a while to drive to this one, traffic at 8:00pm! Mildly annoying. As we arrived at the park, I was telling Ostaa74 how I had come past the other day to find it full of muggles. We were hoping not to find the same thing, especially at this time of day. As we slowed to park a number of ready to party teens wondered through the park with much frivolity! Ahhhh not muggled out again... we drove around the corner and, thankfully, the teens moved on, leaving us to search in peace. GPS lead us straight to the coords without any misbehaving, but there was definitely no cache at 0 metres! After much searching around the garden bed and the namesake item I found the cache in a spot Ostara74 had noticed and pointed out. Looks to be about 6 metres from given coords. Cache in good condition, but the bag it is in has many small holes in it. Thanks for the cache Team Wilcox.
We guessed where it would be from the cache name, but we were wrong. However, following our GPSs led us straight to it for a quick find. Thanks for the cache.
Found 14:25, in the company of Muzza, a nice little park.
