Afraid it's gone and it looks like not being replaced. Time to achieve?
 
23-May-12
But didn't spend too long looking due to the previous DNFs and high number of Muggles around at this time.
 
02-May-12
Gone ! Needs replacing its such a good hide Or was such agood hide !
 
17-Apr-12
I am sure no cache there due to "SES" something thing with tree see pic. Thanks.
 
13-Apr-12
Definitely gone! Sad Would be great if it could be replaced!!
 
02-Apr-12
I found this one a while ago and following some correspondence with another Geocacher it, I went past it on my bike to check it out and found that the cache is no longer there.
 
05-Mar-12
Quick find on the way to work, boy that felt good to write.
I arrive at the GZ all hyped up for a difficult challange, then I looked around and smiled.
This is a great hide. But I have seen one before, about 6 hours drive from here, that one was hidden after this one and I'm sure took inspiration from this one.
I remember looking for that one, it almost drove me crazy and then all of a sudden, relevation, inspiration, pirspiration, there it is, right in front of your face.
Great Hide!

Great cache hiding spot! Talk about micro cache.. very micro. My hat goes off to Meerkat27.

But we found it!
 
31-Jan-12
Was leaning on a structure near to GZ, reading the cache instructions and waiting for the GPS to stabilise, when I realised that I was actually right next to the cache. A clever hide!

The log sheet was a little damp, but a few minutes of sun improved things a little.
 
28-Jan-12
#49 Fantastic!! This is definitely one of my favourite caches and I have been waiting to find one of these caches as I had no idea how it could be possible!! We were here earlier today and then we went to our familys' houses and then went back to find that we parked right next to the cache location!! It was worth going back here though, TFTC Meerkat27!!
 
23-Jan-12
Found 2000hrs. Had been here before, looked at it even touched it but still couldn't figure it out. Anyway decided to take our 10yo grandson with us (geograndkid) for another look. While he was having a look round lo' and behold Mr sunrise found it. Signed log - still rather damp so left another page. TFTC
 
19-Jan-12
Great Cache....Have tried this one a few times with no luck but with the help David2570 and Geo Junior had this one in hand. Thanks for the hide.

Great find loved it
 
18-Jan-12
Log is very wet. Perhaps a zip lock baggie could be used?
 
18-Jan-12
Found @ 03:20. On a night run with shogun and we stopped here to grab another quicky. My GPSr was pointing me wrong until I spotted a hide I'd seen before.
Took nothing, left nothing, signed a very damp log, and moved on.
Thanks for the cache Meerkat27.
 
15-Jan-12
Nice quick find the log was very damp, unable to sign log book.
 
15-Jan-12
After finding our first QE we sort of knew what to look for. Found it in less than 5 mins. Cracka1 and I have discussed putting one of these out, to see it in action is great, love it! Unable to sign the log tho. Removing it would have destroyed it, totally soaking wet.
 
14-Jan-12
Log is soaked needs replacement
 
31-Dec-11
Out with Got-Em on a very hot New Years Eve day. It was tiny Got-Em that noticed this one. T4TC
 
30-Dec-11
Very inventive hide, but clue should be more cryptic.
 
13-Dec-11
In one word "Briljant!!"

Our uncle found it.

The paperrol was quite wet and need to be replaced.

Found December 10, 2011 @ 8:33pm
Find #264

A fairly quick and damp find on a rather unpleasant night for caching.

Given that Physics and I don't actually get out all that often though, we decided that come what may, we were caching today.

The third in a short caching run with CamBendy and Axeman101 (lil bro). Having almost died of heat exhaustion mowing the lawn this morning it was fitting that when Cam and I go caching it buckets down with rain ... every time!! I don't think he and I have every cached in sunshine. Neither of my colleagues had seen one of these but I had. If you've done a caching run with Trailrunning you've seen them all so this was an easy grab. The log sheet is saturated so some TLC is required. TFTC.
 
07-Dec-11
found it quite quickly. had a giggle. signed the very damp log, then i was off to no. 2 for the morning.
thanks meerkat27.[:x]
 
01-Dec-11
Found @ 2155

Found with ggkof on our usual Thursday night caching adventure. Great hide!! Had is wandering for a bit before I made the discovery. As a previous cacher said, clue should be perhaps a little more obscure.
 
01-Dec-11
Found @ 21:55 with davroy tonight. Hunted for this one for a while. Davroy finally spotted it and I thought I should have got it eariler as I've seen a similar one before. Never the less, another one to the tally. TFTC SL

Found on the 25/11/10 by KING Sr.

This cache is near where I will be talking to the local LIFE ACTIVATES GROUP about Geocaceing ..A good geo catcheser will have no problems finding GZ The cache is well hidden and stealth is required... Note ; the log is wet and will need to be replace .
 
21-Nov-11
Came here a little while back and had a dnf despite having a good idea what I was looking for. I think I was given a bum steer by drjim7. Easy find today.
 
20-Nov-11
After 5 attempts and looking at every crevice and crack I finally found it! A very good hide.
 
27-Oct-11
Found @ 14:20hrs
Took a bit of a search but got there in the end.Log is very wet.TFTC.

Found it tonight with @rebeccavoy! Smile

Loved the cache - my first in Melbourne!

Caught up with this one whilst walking in the area, I was looking for somewhere to leave a TB, .........perhaps not this one.

TFTC
 
15-Oct-11
We'd just finished spending the afternoon at the Como Gardens Open Day just down the road (a good day out!) and I decided to finish off the day nicely with a cache - and this one had come recommended to me, so why not!

Pulled up and parked at GZ and took a little explore. Soon spotted the likely area and on the first loop I half retrieved the cache (not realising what it was), and on the second loop I fully retrieved it - then discovering what it was! A creative idea indeed and good to keep the lateral thinking going in geocaching...

Nice new log, so it appears maintenance has been done. Ta!
 
06-Oct-11
I found this one previously and as I was in the area today I decided to have a look if it was still there. And...it is.
Cheers.
 
06-Oct-11
Came with drjim7 who has found it in the past. It's gone.

Found @ 6:25pm, Find # 1032
On a night caching run with waffle eggs we stopped off at this one for a look around.
We parked close by and did one sweep of the area before locating the hide, I've seen a few like this now.
Thanks to Meerkat27 for this cache.
 
11-Sep-11
YEAH! Found on the way home from a visit to Mum. Now just to find the other 2 in this series! Thanks for the challenge! The log was very wet. Signed on the paper left by TeamCrackers. Smile
 
10-Sep-11
Nice one. I use to play in this park as a kid before the train works. Mum would spend what seemed like hours in the textiles shop over the road and let us kids burn energy in the playground. Cache is in ok condition.
 
29-Aug-11
We also remember the park but cannot remember having stopped here before though. We also remember the time it could take to get through this intersection at certain times, before the train was relocated underground. Although the park may be gone we believe it has improved the safety and eased the traffic tension in the area. Today there was remarkably few cars and not as many muggles as we were expecting. We spotted the cache quickly as we have now found a few of these. After waiting for an opportunity we grabbed the container but found the log very wet. We went back to the car and grabbed a piece of paper, signed it and soon all was back as it was.
Thanks Meerkat27 for the cache
 
21-Aug-11
Really unique cache, I've never done one like it before, well thought Meerkat27. TFTC
 
21-Aug-11
Great day caching and made even better having my boys caching with me Big Grin

This type of hide is all too familiar. However my boys had never seen this type of hide before......they loved it!!

P.S.....LOG is completely WET.
We were unable to sign log therefore shredd108 & I took photo of cache as a means of logging. Shall email owner.

08-Aug-11
Found this one with Irontoad today. Very clever but unfortunately the log was too wet to be able to log today. This was the second time that we had tried to find this cache. The first time we were defeated by the weather.

08-Aug-11
Found with Kmace second time round. log wet and un usable.
 
06-Aug-11
Nice quick find at site. Another good cache located. SL (Log wet so left our names on a small piece of paper) TFTC
 
26-Jul-11
Found at 11:50. TRICKY, TRICKY, TRICKY!!! Couldn't sign log as it was to wet. TFTC. Smile
 
26-Jul-11
Log is wet & needs replacing.
 
26-Jul-11
Log is a victim of capillary action, but I wrung it out and left my moniker.
 
19-Jul-11
After scratching my head and circling around GZ it fell into place. Log too wet to sign.
Thanks for the Cache and the lesson.
 
12-Jul-11
EB Nano was so concerned about finding this first that he ignored the obvious and went straight for the tree. While he searched there I retrieved the cache and tried to remove the log. That was quite difficult
The log is very wet as there appears to be a tear in the bag. The log will need replacing soon.
EB Nano, when he saw what I was doing, was not very pleased with me. I had to promise to go do another cache straight away, so he could find it.
Thanks Meerkat27 for the cache

Out caching with Slink 1 and he wanted me to see just how cunning these can be. Found it after a little hint from him but wow. Great effort - Great deception. Log now full and so wet! TFTC SL
 
08-Jul-11
My first of this kind, thanks! May new new log, wet and full.
 
03-Jul-11
I managed to park right beside GZ on a surprisingly busy day. I immediately made an assumption about the hide (generally not a good idea!) but on this occasion I was right. Smile
 
03-Jul-11
Thought I'd have another go at this one on my weekly trip to shops and a very quick find when I read the hint properly TFTC jefina

Found on another legendary night caching run with my good mate Marty (Quasar3671). This was one that Marty had already done, so got him to stop by for a quick drive by. Cheers and TFTC.

rebel acts was naughty and was supposed to let me find it but he didnt
 
25-Jun-11
This was the third cache of 8 finds for the day, while out caching with my new caching partner Crazy! Nat Girl. I was supposed to let Nat find this one, but spotted the hide straight away. My thanks to Meerkat27 for the cache.
 
08-Jun-11
Found with The Unfamiliars. Freezing, dark, wet and one of 5 for the early morning caching venture.
 
08-Jun-11
The log strip is very wet and needs replacing.
 
08-Jun-11
Found 16:45, luckily I'd found a very similar cache to this one just last weekend Wink

TNLN, CSI=2, thanks Meerkat27.
 
08-Jun-11
Out with Lockyer_024 for some early morning caching - this one just around 5:30am. Brrr!
We walked round and round and round and round GZ!
I hadn't seen a hide like this before, so very enjoyable.
Thanks!

Found by Bob at 1310

I had to do an errand in Fertree Gulley this arvo, so figured I'd better spice it up with a couple of caches on the way home. From the maps, I thought this one would be in a somewhat 'quieter' spot but, despite a completely full carpark and plenty of muggles in the vicinity, I managed to spot the hide immediately and, having done a number of similar ones before, was able to recognise it for what it was - so it turned out to be a nice, quick one. I did have some trouble extracting the log, which was a little damp, and, as it appeared full, folded it open to the inside, which was pretty empty, to log my visit.

TNLN

Thanks Meerkat27 - I've always been rather fond of these hides.
 
29-May-11
Having dreadlocks down to my butt, I stand out 1 hell of a lot and I just thought I was being stared at one hell of a lot. Especially hanging around a BMW. I feel that I should give up trying the Question everything series because they have been rather uncomfortable experiences for me. But I am really glad reading other peoples logs that there are positive comments because everybody geocachers for different reasons. Its also good that Meerkat has thought outside the box and given quite a challenge. Cheers
Paul.
 
21-May-11
Have seen this type before so it didn't take long. Perhaps weve been caching too long. Still a good idea though.
Thanks Meerkat27
 
21-May-11
A busy carpark in Boronia today. If you can't get no muggles, sometimes lots of muggles works just as well - as long as you don't have to search too long.
Both Chewin' and I have seen this type of hide before, a nice idea.
Thanks, Robmc.
 
14-May-11
I came out on this cold and dark night to try to find some caches without having to worry about muggles. Then I came to the shopping centre in Boroina, which kind of messed up the muggle free theory. As I parked near the GZ I looked up to see the police pulling a car over and the car decided to pull into the car park and stop not 15 metres away from me. Rats! This is possibly the ultimate muggle situation. I waited in the car for a while but the police then started checking over the car… they were going to be a while. So I decided to go for a quick walk. Got out of the car and glanced at the GZ as I walked past. Sure enough the cache was exactly what I thought it would be. Seen only one other of these before, and glad I had because the last one took LouiseAnn and I three attempts to find. This time finding the cache was nice a quick, which was a good thing, with the police only metres away. I made the grab on the way back to my car. Surely there are some extra points for making a find and grab in the light of blue and red flashers completely unnoticed? The log sheet was damp while the extra log sheet that Le Carre added was completely soaked. I tried to dry them out only having success with the original log sheet. Le Carre's replacement paper (while placed with good intentions, was far too wet to put back in to the cache, and it would have only made the original log wet again, so I have kept it and dried it out properly at home. I wrote Le Carre's name and log date onto the back of the original log sheet. If you would like the extra sheet the Le Carre added (which only has Le Carre's log) please contact me, I am happy to post it to you. As I was signing the log and about to put the cache back an older gentleman pulled up on his mobility scooter. Thinking his was taking a short cut from the footpath and was going to try and drive over the gutter into the car park, I was about to jump out of the car and help him, when he slowly got off his scooter, shuffled towards the nearby tree and took up a rather familiar position. "Oh he's not going to… yup he is." I thought as I turned away and busied myself with the cache and log, and anything else I could. Well this cache had everything! Dark night, clever hide, a police chase (albeit a very slow and short one), and other disturbing things we won't mention again, Wow. The cache is in ok condition, the bag could do with a good dry out, I did the best I could with a rag to dry inside, but still some moisture there. Thanks for a great cache and an interesting evening Meerkat27.

Very sneaky little Cache. Redefined the game for me. Added fresh strip of log paper as other almost full.
 
05-May-11
Found at 4.15pm GAFF1. We like these type of hides that are out in the open staring at all and sundry. It is just a matter of thinking what form a micro can take isn't it?
Thanks Meerkat27 - there are just 2 or 3 spots left for logs.
 
01-May-11
Nice one! Very obvious with the hint. TFTC
 
25-Apr-11
Nice quick find - I've seen a few of these types before, although with a different type of log sheet. Speaking of which, it was quite difficult extract - a pair of tweezers would have helped. Thanks for the cache.

This was a very clever hide. So much so that my dad who came with me today decided to go back and show mum how neat it was.

I was thinking my GPS was out, but then I thought a bit harder and found this cache.

I'm sorry to say my GF and I didn't find it. It was muggle central this afternoon and cars every where. Felt a bit rushed because I was planning on heading home to watch the GP and I was running out of time. I found the reference of the HINT but nothing else. Will head back this week. After reading the other logs, I'm very intrigued on what kind of cache this is.

Cheers

Daytripper and Jo Jo.
 
20-Mar-11
This was our last success for the day so I am glad it was this one. We have never come across one like this one before so we were scratching our heads for a while. Being Sunday there were some shoppers about but I find if you don't go crazy most people just ignore you. It took us about 30 mins to find this one as not a lot of choices about.
We had to resort to the hint, but still proud of ourselves
Thanks for the cache.
 
19-Mar-11
Took my two boys out for some caching this fine Saturday morning. The shopping centre was very busy but somehow we managed to get a park a close to GZ as you could get. Coops stayed in the car while Tyler and I had a look for the cache. It was a quick find and log sign. Nice one. Thanks for the hide.
 
14-Mar-11
Found by The Empire @ 9:05am with The Lone Random
Find number 2 of 26 today. TLR made this one easy as we have seen plenty of them over the past 6 months, they seem to be everywhere now. Thanks for the cache Meerkat27.

12-Mar-11
We chose a good time to hunt this one down - muggle movement was minimal around midnight. For us it turned out to be an easy find as we have found similar ones before and our own first (so far, our only) cache is similar in nature.
TFTC
 
10-Mar-11
Found at 1425. You are so very very tricky Meerkat!!! I do have to make sure I touch & not just look. Very very clever hide not something I had thought of until today. Cache is in good order SL TFTC
 
10-Mar-11
#524 On the way home after an enjoyable day in the Dandenongs. The last of the Meerkat caches we did today and yet another great hide. It had us scratching our heads until something I read in the cache details triggered a thought, and yep, success. Another 'favourite'. Once again geowife came up with the goods - she really outperformed me today. Thanks Meerkat27 for a great lot of caches. All your caches/logs are in good order - I can see why you're concerned tho'.
 
07-Mar-11
Saw it from afar. Nice and sneaky quick find TFTC.
 
07-Mar-11
I found this cache today at 5:05pm as the 1st of 2 on the way home from work. Today was one of the 6 days in March that I was yet to find a cache on so I aimed to fill 1 gap with a couple of Boronia caches. I do like to find these type of caches and this is the 4th of this type that I have found. Unfortunately my hit rate is still less than 1 in every 1,000 finds so I would love to see more like this.The log has just been replaced so it is fine (but the forecast is for rain the next 3 days). Well done. Thanks from D B-A.
 
04-Mar-11
Thanks for this very sneaky cache. It was a case of stand back and look hard to find what was hidden in plain view.
 
04-Mar-11
Find # 1956 @ 13:25
I read the description whilst awaiting for lunch to be cooked at a food shop nearby and I had a feeling I knew what to look for so I headed across the carpark and bingo, I was correct.
SL Thanks Meerkat27
 
03-Mar-11
I has to keep my wide eyes open to stealth and log it then stealth again.
Not soo many muggles but watch out..

It helps if you have seen one of these before otherwise it could be tricky. However it's nice to see something different. Log is getting wet. TFTC.
