Rusting Remains Brunswick, Victoria, Australia
By digitalformula on 25-Jan-11. Waypoint GC2MX8V

I cannot see any information that suggests to me that steps have been taken to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement - one or more of the following applies:

- Cache Owner unable to maintain cache
- No response from the cache owner.
- No cache to find or log to sign.
- It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.
- Cache has been abandoned by cache owner/cache in disrepair

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to also prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the next 28 days, just contact a reviewer (by email and include GC number in cache name) and, assuming it still meets the current guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

If there are components or remnants of the cache and you haven't already done so, please return to the GZ and collect the cache (or remnants). We don't want to litter our environment with Geotrash.

Should you wish to replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

Went to replace the log today but the container was nowhere to be found. Will make sure it's gone and then archive, if so.

rachaelstocks - thanks for the heads up.

Second trip during daylight hours still no joy

Third time... Unlucky! My treasure hunting buddy thinks it's been moved... I think our eyes just aren't working. Confirmation of it's presence would be much appreciated x

Searched through 2 possible hiding spots, no joy!! But I will be back x

Apologies for not getting around to replacing the log, yet.

I'm not in the area often anymore (I placed this one when I could see GZ from my window). I'll do it as soon as I can - need some more log sheets, first.

Guessed what I was looking for here, so after a bit of a search, I finally spotted it. Noted it was called Melrose Place, made us laugh. TFTC

Only two tiny scraps of paper in cache, no room left for writing name, needs a proper log sheet.

This was a fun one to find. Geokid 6 about to give up when she spotted something where it shouldn't be.

Great find for a start to the new year.

Ingenious hiding place but didn't take too long to find it. Our second one for the day!

Your right, doesnt feel great, booooo, no find!

Just arrived in Australia today and hoped this would be my first cache here, but that is not the case.

I don't see it. Might want to check on it. If I can, I'd like to get it before I leave in two weeks, but only if the co checks on it or someone else posts a find. No joy here today, just a blue frowny face.

Too hard to find can anyone confirm if they can find it. Is it still there? We'll have another go if someone confirms....

10:45

Failed to find this, and i started fearing that i was starting to look suspicious, so i moved on.

Went to get this on the other day but there were two muggles sitting on it so we abandoned. Was nearby doing a different cache tonight and thought we'd have another go at this one afterwards.

And we were successful. I did like this hide. Tftc!

Always wanted to find one of these! Tftc! Found with Xlii!

Great cache. Interesting area TFTC

Tftc!

Found with NGoldy. Really enjoyed this one. Previous comments were helpful TFTC!

Found it! Took ages, but be patient, it is there.

Lots of muggles

A nicely camo'd cache with an appropriate name
First Melb cache for us
TFTC x

Found this one today. I was hunting caches that I have previously DNFed or attempted today and this was one that I had attempted. Today I had the advantage of understanding the clue which seemed a bit cryptic to me the first time I was here and the cache was found though it took a bit of searching. Signed log today. Very interesting history of this area which I wouldn't have known about apart from caching.

Thanks for the cache digitalformula.

Didn't find it~~~~ cry~~~~

Finally !!! I've had a couple of cracks at this one, and it is always been to hot, too busy, too hard or otherwise couldn't be bothered. But I got this one in the company of my father-in-law One-Eyed. There were plenty of people heading in and out of the nearby properties, but we managed to avoid them all. Thanks for the Cache.

Found this one quite quickly even in the dark of night. Looking at the silhouette something looked out of place.

With my Son In Law Imapom, we spent the afternoon around the Brunswick area caching .
Came across this location okay, loads of history here.
After a little search in between load of Muggles, found the cache .

A little too hard to find with a cranky toddler - maybe next time!

No luck!

Took us a while but we got there!
Probably a good one for kids

What a sneaky cache! Was ready to give up and then, you chill out and take a look and..."that looks different?!"

This is an interesting location to visit and thankfully not too busy today for what was a quick find. The logbook is full, so its also a popular cache. Unfortunately I wasn't carrying a spare log. Thanks Digitalformula.

Found on a day out caching with abl & gaz. Sneaky.

Obviously, log full. Squeezed in anyway. One of these things is not like the other one...

Alright, so masters of stealth we are not but after having climbed and pulled on every inch of this structure my partner in crime proved her usefulness once again and made the find. Excellent.

Log full

Quick easy find, TFTC!

Log completely full.

No sign of b it!

Finally found it, was looking for something else, even though I saw the prize at the start.

Good cache in a quiet place TFTC

**Log is very full and needs renewing***

Hi all - apologies for not getting around to replacing the log, yet.

I'll do it as soon as I can - just waiting for some replacement log sheets to arrive.

A nice easy find. Log sheet is full. Thanks for the cache

TFTC, quick find

Log is full , managed to put date and HJ in log

I did thing I would fit but no worries. Thanks digitalformula.

What a cache open for all to see from all these units,clue very good.

Tricky tricky. This cache blended very well into its surrounds.

Great cache

Oh we found it! Live nearby and it was our third attempt! Second cache for the kids and I but first for husband. Fantastic cache. Forgot pen so will nip back to sign tonight

Took a while but my son and I, after a while found it. Well hidden. Lots of fun.

No go

Great hiding place

Great camo. Quick little park n grab. Log signed & replaced. TFTC & smiley face

Great little find by caching companion Danimal Stinson. Quick stop off walking home from comedy at Brunswick green. Tricky little find but well worth it. Thanks for the cache

Found at 4:48 PM GAFF1. We were pleased to have found a parking spot right out the front even though it was home time for many workers. We have been here many years ago when this whole area was just a derelict dump. Great work by the developers.
Thanks digitalformula.

when there this morning, second try. couldn't find it but its my first time...

A tricky little hide, but managed to spot it when I stopped and looked.
Thanks

Spent a cool Saturday afternoon trying to clean up a few caches in the vicinity.
This is my second attempt at this cache and with time and a little more experience was able to locate the cache very quickly.
Had the log signed and returned to its place without anyone spotting me.

Log is full so sign and insert scrap of paper TFTC

I returned for a second try, this time when there was no auction in progress .
With the area to myself I did one loop and then thought about a likely spot. Using my hands rather than my eyes I was pleased when I put my hand on the container.
Thanks to digitalformula for the cache.

Today was the forth time I visited GZ during the last 6 month. I don't know what was wrong with me the last attempts, I found it within 10 seconds today.
TFTC

Great camo. Took me a little while, and there were a few muggles about, but eventually found it. Thanks for a great cache.

Thought this might take a while but I found it straight away, nice one

TFTC!!

Found with MegUA.. Nice urban cache! TFTC

Found this afternoon with LC85, what a great residential area and love how they have converted the old brickworks into apartments. Quickly made the grab, signed and replaced as found. tftc digitalformula.

By far the best camo cache find to date!!! Almost gave up but mickphoenix76 took one more round and found it.
TFTC. SL.
-with mickphoenix76

Wow, what a tricky one, almost give up after 15 mins searching, then ar-ha moment came and soon the CIH. TFTC

Took us a long search. Glad that algaexxx got good geocache sense. Found it eventually. Great hide.

Quick find, great little cache, very nicely camouflaged. TFTC.

Hint certainly helped!

Ok, so despite my previous 'DNF' rant and swearing off this cache I returned today. Come on, I gave it a rest for a whole month... that's pretty good considering that I drive past it on most days. Anyway, it was such a perfect afternoon I thought I'd stop by just for a check. What a surprise. There it was, in a place I'm sure I'd looked (and touched) previously, several times in fact, camouflaged in the way I'd always suspected. Easy. Am I going mad? Or was it just a little cache creep? And if so, was it in the correct location today, or a month ago? Or does the term 'correct location' have no meaning in the relativistic world of geocaching? Perhaps sometime in the last month I've slipped into an alternate reality where this cache does actually exist. But then, where was I before? I looked up, half expecting to see two moons in the sky. My mind was in a spin. Whatever the case, I took the log around the corner to sign and returned it to exactly where I found it. Thank you for this cache digitalformula - I'm not sure I'll ever be the same again.

Hey i found the Cache with a friend . It was his first time he search after a geocache. Nice that it was this great one. I like it

I'm getting better at this!! Along with fortypercenter.

Yay! With my partner in crime AtlasJ0.

Not really a DNF, more a DNA.....with an auction in progress there was no chance to even get near GZ.
Thanks for the hide anyway.

Aaargh! I've tried looking for this one a couple of times before without success, but I've forgiven myself with excuses of it being too busy or too dark. Ok, I'll admit it's been more than a couple of times. It's been preying on my mind. Anyway, after having a run of luck this afternoon I was feeling pretty good about things and I thought I'd give this one another crack. The coast was clear and the light was good. I was calm and in control. I looked high and low (mainly low), tried to be methodical and avoid second guessing myself. But no freaking luck. I just can't find it! Even though there seem to be plenty of clues in the logs, and I'm pretty sure I know what I'm looking for, and... well, it all seems so tantalisingly close. I know it's there somewhere. And I know that tomorrow somebody else is going to find it with ease and write a cheery little 'TFTC' in the logs and I'll read it and grit my teeth and somewhere in the back of my mind a little fuse will blow. And as much as I want to return and take high resolution photographs of the entire area and pin them all to my wall and stare at them and cover them with illegible red texta scribblings and not sleep and then tear them down in a fit of rage while drinking a bottle of gin - I won't. I have to let this one go. For now.

Thank you digitalformula for this singularly elegant torture. You're a champ.

Sad to say this was my first geocaching adventure... I walked around in circles for quite some time and could not find anything in the rusting remains..

Found today with Bella'sBuddies, cool kiln things. Cheers.

Great hide...my friend Paz&Co introduced me a great cache, one I'd never seen before...TFTC....Cheers

Tftc out with the misses for a night run try and do as many as possible before where stuffed.

It wasn't the CO standing there - I'm in France right now ... hehe.

A rather spontaneous find on the way to the park. Had been meaning to get to this one for some time now but was unsure how tricky it would be considering the potential for high Muggle numbers. Taking the little one (MegaSage) with us is always a good way to look less suspicious, which we needed as a local resident was standing right where we needed to search. I wondered if it was a fellow cacher or if in fact it might be the CO. Was trying to be discreet but my fellow (also newly introduced) geocacher couldn’t help herself and was freely and fervently ferreting around, whilst I tried to maintain some level or normalcy by loudly declaring to the geokid how amazing the brickworks were and in particular what we were looking at blah blah blah. Needless to say I doubt it did much to convince the local that we were simply on a stroll and had stopped in awe of some ‘rusting remains’. Finally the Muggle’s partner (who he’d been patiently waiting for) came outside and they departed, but not before they looked back over at us with a curious look. I’m sure I detected a knowing little smile but perhaps not. TFTC.

Haha!! Took us a while with a few suspicious looks from residents, almost gave up - but got it

Found 9.40am
We had GZ to ourselves which made for an easy search and a quick find.

TNLNSL
Thanks digitalformula

This is in a really interesting development and its amazing to see apartments incorporated on the kilns across the road. The cache seems very appropriate for the structure (whatever it's meant to be - or perhaps it's only meant to be what your mind wants it to be?). Found quickly with no muggles about. TFTC.

After lunch at Miss Marmalade we made our way to this cache. Geodad and Geokid hopped out and started to look. Geodad was successful. GZ was spot on. Thanks for bringing us here. Interesting apartments.

After 2 elusive visits my geosenses are starting to kick in. Thanks for this little tricky cache.

Found around 3.30 pm Monday .
Great spot and history and this hide will elude many .

Many thanks for the challenge.

Found this with cj curry and erin-rose on a cold blowy nighy. The co-ords had us a little off but cj kept looking at the rust and he was successful. Tftc

Tftc! We screwed around too long. Felt in the open here...

#3 of 11 caches found on a much-needed run tonight with malea263 and Erin-Rose.

My geosenses were switched on by this stage, and I managed to find the area suggested by the cache, despite the coordinates being a good 20 feet away (and the others moving away as a result). Also laid eyes fairly quickly on something that didn't quite belong, extracted the cache, signed the log and moved on our merry way. Nice hide!

Sorry Sarahbot, you'll have to stay up later to make the most of not getting any sleep ... hehe. I just replaced the log - it's still there and waiting for you to sign it.

Log sheet replaced - good to go!

Sorry late log. Was wondering if it was still there but seeing as though the log had been replaced 2 days after our visit we were obviously incompetent. Decided it was because it was dark and then saw that it has been found many times in the dead of night. Confidence now at all time low. But it will not defeat us. Daughter lives just across road so in true Arnie form 'We will be back'. Very interesting place. Thanks for taking us there.

First one to stump me. Then I read some notes about it needing care. Perhaps it's no longer in place. ?? Can the cache owner let us know if we were searching for something not there or if I need to go back until I conquer this one. Losing sleep.

No muggles to trouble us at this time of night meant that it was a quick and easy find TFTC
