Carpe Ramus Heatherton, Victoria, Australia
By Earthbound Chief on 22-Jan-11. Waypoint GC2MQ55

With a semi permanent camp set up only metres away from GZ and suspicious and likely nefarious goings on, going on, we have decided to archive this site and move to a friendlier site nearby.
Vale Carpe Ramus

It appears a homeless person has taken up residence at GZ. They may have found a more appropriate use for my sistema! Will try to relocate this one soon.

Had a good look approaching from both directions but no luck. Did stumble across a druggie den on the way!

Found it. Nice walk around the park

TFTC. Our 11th find for two days. Coordinates were very accurate even though in bush land!

Yes found it a little searching in scrub was required but still a good hide Thanks for bringing us to this great Park

After 5 consecutive DNFs it was great to have a find at last and the co-ords were spot on. TFTC.

Rated: for Overall Experience

TFTC it was my first cache ever

TFTC easy but good hide

Heatherton hunters are camping for the night

My son found this one, don't know how as well hidden. Came across the campsite a bit cautious as did not know who was around definitely a day find

Great garden area to spend a while walking around, with no one else around on a windy cold day. Spotted the cache from the path so once I worked out how to get in there signed the log. Felt very awkward as i was not sure if anyone was in the nearby camp. Reading other logs it has been there for a while so I quickly signed and left. Thanks again for revealing another great green space EarthboundChief

Found with Janie and michael

This one took me a little bit to find. But nice clean logbook to write in.
Heaps of rubbish on the ground to act as a destruction.
Also looks like someone has set up camp among the trees. Doing some 'interesting' activities. Maybe not a friendly place at night...

Dropped by here today to attend to this cache and was surprised to find it with lid off and soggy calling cards strewn all over the place. The cache log is mush so I collected up the mess and replaced the whole cache with a new one, fresh log and everything. The cache is still a sistema but is now a 200ml rather than a 400ml. Please make sure the lid is secure before returning the cache to its hiding spot.

La boite etait pleine d'eau le logbook est entierement mouillé.
The box was full of water logbook is fully wet.

Easy to fing - MPLC

In the area for the young lads baseball game and noticed this wasn't to far away. Off for a short stroll in a great garden area, got hands on cache made my mark and replaced as found.
Waaaahooooo!!! 4th for 31 days of caching
Thanks for the hide :-p

Had a moment to scout around the park in between other duties and happily spotted it instantly. Log is rather wet. Took nothing, left nothing. TFTC

Minifig Family (J)

Was nearby on a Sunday morning so strolled over to the cache area, avoiding some chatting dog owners by adopting a commando stealth approach through the bushes to the GZ. The cache was easily found although the container was full of water. Signed the wet log then exfiltrated undetected. A nice area - thanks for your cache and bringing me here.

We found it!

Thanks Earthbound Chief

Had little very little trouble with this one, unlike your flying high cache nearby which totally eluded me.

With the gang all here the bananas were able to catch this hide while doing the local multi. Hiden in this fantastic park Archie in particular liked your effort here. Thank you Earthbound Chief.

Found with CJ, TFTC TNLNSLMF

Yeah boiii! Respect to CC ON DIS ONEEE!
TNLNSLMF YO! TFTC

After a bit of fruitless prodding and poking, 'twas in the first place I thought to look but didn't. A fun adventure on the ride home from work, TFTC

Beautiful location amongst all the flora & fauna. Didn't know it was basically in our back yard. Happy with cache find 5/5 on our first day geocaching .

11:50
The plan had been to take the newly purchased cachemobile south for a promised repair, then cache my way back home. So much for that; the parts hadn't arrived... oh well, more time for caching.

A pleasant walk across the top end of the reserve and the right choice of entry to GZ made this easier than it might have been.

Had been at DFO contributing to the Australian economy and thought we'd grab a couple of caches before heading home. Had the cache in our hands after a brief search. TFTC.

Nice parkland area. Took a little while to find the right way to the cache. Thongs are really not a good idea when looking for any cache. Sent LittleM96 in first to find a safe route. Easy find once at GZ.

Crawled on hands and knees, must be an easier way.

Think we approached this from the wrong way.. Still managed to get to it eventually! TFTC

Geodog bob crawled through the scrub and found this one for us! TFTC

Parked as close as possible to avoid the baseball game going on. Had to wait for a couple of walking muggles, took the wrong way to get to the GZ but find it within an minute or so. TFTC.

Enjoyed the walk from the other side of the park and the hunt for the prize.

Found it. TFTC

I decided to come and have a look for a couple more caches today in this part of the world. The first was a no show so I continued on to this one and after making unnecessary hard work of the approach I quick find was made - no sign of any trackables in the cache though, but it was securely hidden. The logbook bag is ripped (sorry, I didn't have one on me) but the logbook is dry. TFTC

Nice park thanks

This is a fantastic park - I never new existed. Found the cache after a bit of searching. Unfortunately I also found a pile of dog mess on my shoe! Why is it some people just don't pick up after their dogs.
No trackables in the cache though. Left a keyring, took a bean.

Thanks
Dave.

What a lovely place! Great hide, easy find, went the back way and saw horses, cattle etc. Geokids loved it. Thanks for cache! Took eraser, left mighty bean. No travel bugs/ coins in cache

Found after about 5 mins of seaching in the dark

A nice walk from the carpark here, and after ducking and weaving, found this in the open next to where I'd assumed it belonged. I re-hid it in it's hole and covered it up with cammo after signing the log.
Thanks for another of your caches here Earthbound Chief

Spotted a couple of roos while heading for the GZ. Probably could have got quite close to them! Very nice gardens and well concealed hide that took us a little while to uncover. Unfortunately no sign of the travel bus logged as being n this cache. TFTC

Tftc

Great hiding spot but there were some good clues from previous hunters that helped us discover the cache. Great hunt thanks.

Found today while out with the Geodog. We followed the smaller path that leads along the fence line and had the cache in hand within seconds. While signing the log we heard a muggle and her two dogs coming down the adjacent path not 2 meters away from where we were in the bushes. I dropped down into a crouching position and whispered to the Geodog to shush. Amazingly they all walked past us and they were totally oblivious to us being there! We back tracked the way we came in and stopped to say hello to the horse and pony in the adjacent paddock who are quite friendly. Also had a laugh at the two goats in their waterproof coats. Then it was back to the car for a quick escape. Thanks for the cache Earthbound Chief.

Looked in the wrong spot at first, but Google Translate helped us and cache was in hand.

26/05/2012 10:26 I had just come down from Eltham to drop Eagle Eye and his mates at Delta Force Paintball and decided to pick this one up on the way home. I followed the arrow on the path as close as possible but decided that the only way to GZ was to push through a couple of branches. At GZ I saw the small path that I used to leave but it is fairly hard to spot when your on the main trail. A simple but effective hide. TFTC Earthbound Chief TNLN SL

Yeah; I loves me some geocaching!

TFTC. Second attempt walking in and found it.

Carpe Cache! Thanks for the cache and the walk through this lovely area. We managed to avoid the rain. TFTC.

Carpe diem!

Danozz and I decided a day of caching down the bay towards the Hampton Beaumaris direction, as neither of us had that many caches down there. We both worked very hard in preparation and solved around 10 puzzle caches before we headed in to the area. The long day started at in the fog and the improved as we went along.
Our final cache for the day and we both decided to approach it different ways. We made it to the same place in the end (obviously!)
Thanks for the cache Earthbound Chief.

a beautiful area.
i see what you mean, by dont push through.
thanks earthbound chief. [:x]

Lunch break find!!!

Had to get this to clear the area - spotted it right away - TFTC

Had to get my cache for the day so it was a rushed trip out just on dark. No muggles at this park, unlike the two others I tried before it. Co-ords were good so it was a quick find once I found the path in. Thanks for a fun cache Chief!

Found after the kids had fun at the park

nice easy find great walk in park

found w kupkake kaos

Found w mjango. No travel bug

Hooray, on my 4th attempt for the afternoon i finally got a muggle free hideaway to find one. Tftc!

Nice quiet park with plenty of native flora. Saw a blue tongue lizard near GZ . Found the emu and 2 kangaroos in park. Took Run Heike TB. TFTC.

Find # 1258

I finished work for the day (Year ) and had nothing specific to do at home so decided to pick up a few caches and continue on my project 366 path. The kingston Heath Reserve was my target, I had about an hour to find the 4 caches here.

I parked in the nearby car park in the only shade available and headed towards GZ. Spotted a wierd thing on the way... A fenced in water tank and inside the fence was a mountail bike... wierd, anyway, wound my way along the paths and quickly ended up at GZ and soon had the cache in hand.

The 2 listed trackables were not in the cache. I added a TB to this cache.

Thanks to Earthbound Chief for the cache.

Down here for an orienteering event so though I'd pick up some caches. Luckily I studied Latin school and knew exactly where to look!!! No-one around so my behavior went unobserved. Thanks, Chief.

In the SE area today so grabbed a few caches.

After lunch across the road a quick walk soon had this cache in hand.

Only saw 1 TB so swapped FireTB for The Incredible Helen ParrTB

Good cache. Taking the trackable to Queensland.

The cache was a little bit out in the open and easily visible if approached from the right direction.

Signed the log, dropped off "The Incredible Helen Parr" TB to guard it, and made sure it was better hidden.

Tftc

Nice hide did not take long to find.TFTC.

found this one after looking at different possible spots, soon had it located, thanks for the cache.

A nice quick find - TFTC

Beautiful day to wandering around this great park.
Thanks for bring me here and cache

lot of people walk on path....lucky no one see me....nice walk that park

There's an awful lot of ramus to carpe here...either I'm horriblus with my ramus...or another cacher had carpe'd it and sinusing it whilst I was occularising for it.

Stumbled around for some time but finally found cache.
TFTH. TNLN Signed log.

I was looking in the wrong area first up, but then I decided to have a wander around and the GPS said I was getting closer. It was an easy find after I was in the right place! TNLN TFTC

Found @ 23:45. GPS took some time to settle to give me the right place but a quick find after that. TNLNSL TFTC.

It took a little while for my GPSr to settle, after which I started searching a slightly different area. Found then after a brief search.
This was a pleasant discovery - what a great park/garden. Will have to return with the family in daylight. Loved it here. TFTC

What happened to farm rd... Found easily enough tftc sl

Found on a late night caching run with Burge. TNLNSL. TFTC.

Nice large reserve. Only took a few minutes to locate the cache. SL TFTC

Just about enough light left for a quick find tftc

# 2158 @ 15:35 SL

Another quick find.

Thanks to Earthbound Chief for the cache.

What a nice hidden park. One of the great joys of gepcaching is to find such hidden parks. Must return when the the sun is showing itself in spring! TFTC

Quick find in a nice park.....never knew it extended so far back. Thx for bringing us here!

Our first find for today, we took a detour to this one whilst collecting the info for the heath. Quick find here once we found our way in, such a great park with something for everyone here.
Thanks for the cache earthbound chief

Found @1159 #541
A nice walk thru to this cache and was found quickly. This was last cache found in this park and the last for this mornings cache run thru an area of Melbourne I have not been to before. TFTC.

This one was sending me round in circles for a while. Lots of likely spots where I can see people have had their hands. Found eventually tftc

Found with Quasar!

Down to Kingston Heath for a few caches. Loved the emu statue but couldn't find the kangaroo. Kids took a horse and left a happy meal toy. Thanks.
