Sounds like this has gone and in the words of the swaggies 'Time to go'

Well this was a bit of a trial. Came past today in an effort to clean out the Mornington area, but that was not to be. Yorsys had already found this one so he sat and watched. After about 30 minutes of searching he came over and said it is here. Well it was not here, so we went and had a coffee and discussed the possibilities. Another 10 minutes and we gave up. Time to go. Either it is very well hidden or I need new glasses or both.

I came past earlier in the day but the area was camped out i returned while on am mission to get food for the family and had (very) quick look but failed make a find

Muggles everywhere today, including a elderly muggle who decided to sit on the decking mid-search. Lots of twigs, but nothing to pull. This one may have eluded us today, but we will be back!

Find #3237

Headed out from Frankston at lunchtime to grab a sandwich and took a short detour to look for this cache. I was lucky to get a parking space nearby as it was (as usual) pretty busy down the Main Street in Mornington. Once I headed to GZ it was muggles on foot that I needed to keep an eye out for. Casually took a seat nearby and once the coast was clear I had a better search and soon the cache was in hand. Signed and stashed back in place without drama. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables. Thanks for the cache BorisB&Natasha.

Nicely camouflaged and a fun find! Tried to reattach twig but didn't work! Super hot day! 34 degrees! An old muggle came along and told us that the edging on this nearby building are called 'Dentals' because they look like teeth! Hehehehe

My friend found this one! Love the cammo, might need a bit of TCL as something has come off? Fantastic!

Final cache for the day and it didn't disappoint. With a few muggles about rushing around to get to the next restaurant or bar I reckon I must have read the inception on the bollard 3 or 4 times. Interesting history, learn something new every day. When the coast finally cleared, dived in for a quick scratch about and soon had the cache to hand.. thanks..!!

Hmmmmm, couldn't find it.
I'm wondering if 'twig' has been moved?

After lots of looking couldn't find it

Quick find roaming the streets of Mornington. Very nice camo, worth a favorite! Tftc BorisB&Natasha

Another one done. Woo Hoo! I love the challenge of the geocache hunt - read the notes, decipher the cache requirements, and go searching for the hide. This is an amazing world-wide game of hide and seek. I love it! I also enjoy caching with my family, and meeting fellow cachers. It really is a small world when I read over cache logs. **Thanks go to BorisB&Natasha** for placing this cache and maintaining it. It's a great contribution to the Geocaching community and much appreciated.

I enjoyed finding this one at 12:18:03 PM with Jackson Lightning, Eleanor (muggle on her first cache find) and my 6yo geokid.
A FAV point for the great camo.
TFTC! Cheers. *Jump Pilot*

#499 - 1.20am
A FTF road trip lead Mrs Welder, 1Dgirl and I down the peninsular in search of my 500th. But I needed one more stop to massage the numbers the right way. I checked the map for nearby pickings and found this located conveniently. Oh! And it's a BorisB&Natasha cache!!! I am still gobsmacked from their Middle Earth series, so I had to see this.
The street was now deserted, aside from some shop refitting further up the hill. The girls stayed in the car while I went over to investigate GZ. Time was short so I consulted the clue early and made an impressive find. Love the camo.
But after I had replaced the cache, I felt something was missing. Ahhh, yes... the bollard. Where was that bollard for which this cache is in honor of?
Oh. There it is.
Hahaha
If I couldn't find that, then I should really consider giving up this game!

Thanks BorisB&Natasha, for another great cache. I always love your work.

Now, it was off to grab #500.

Woohoo another find, this was the last cache that I found before i started work in one of the shops nearby. Either way I liked this cache mainly for the camouflage, very nicely done. The only problem I had with the cache thought was whilst heading to gz I noticed that there were some muggles sitting on the bench nearby as they had a smoke. Luckily they moved before my shift had started and I was able to have the cache in hand quickly after they had moved on. Thanks for the cache and the interesting little bit of history of Mornington.
**Buhfuhguh #485**

Thanks for the story & the spot. Loads of muggles but its a good spot to be discreet etc

Thanks for the cache

Tricky find, well hidden, lost of muggles around, no pencil and was caught out a bit so didn't sign it.

Clever hide

Taking a group of travel bugs and geocoins on a grand tour
Thanks for the cache

#4156

Spent the morning caching and catching Pokemon with Velocachu. Grabbed this after a nice lunch of fish and chips and a fair Pokemon session in the park and point.

Found it while out for the afternoon with a friend. Lunch at Snapper Point and a stroll in lovely Morninton Couldn't resist stopping to look for this one, thanks!

No luck here. Waited until the coast was relatively clear. A muggle was having a phone call close by around the bend where I couldn't see him. As I poked around, he strolled back around the corner, now off the phone and glanced curiously where my hands were. I'll come back another day.

Found it! Very interesting story

The best disguised cache I've found so far thanks!!!!!

Found it

Can't believe they shipped that original bollard all this way just to make this awesome cache possible. Some fun swaps.

Went clubbing in Mornington especially so I could find this one. Cops asked me what I was doing had to explain to them about geocaching lol. Took trackable & I plan on taking it to New Zealand next week & leaving it there.

Raemoz found it. A great camp. Left TB. TFTC.

#66. Very tricky this one. Thanks to joint efforts with The-M-Fam problem solved. TFTC.

Find # 323
We were in the area with Missmash to find a few tricky ones, this being one of them. When we arrived at gz, we all started searching around gz. With the aid of the hint, the kids made the tricky find. For such an excellent camo job and a brazen placement in the main street of Mornington, we give this one a favourite point. TFTC.

Very fun hide, tftc guys

TFTC

Awesome camouflage! Nice cruises find. Took nothing but Left a jack. Thanks for the find!!

It was pretty easy don't rely what you see

Found it Great cache, very creative!

Very nice camo, nice hiding spot. High traffic area

At last " Mornington Crescent " Well almost. Early evening so few mugglers about. Great historic spot. Loved the history trail of old buildings. TFTC

Loved this one, very clever little hide.

A favourite for the cache and for the gelato nearby


TFTC

Ok

Great hide! Very tricky with all the muggles around. Credit for this find goes to geomom

Really wanted to find this as a tribute to my
mother, who used to climb on this bollard as a child in London! Too many people. Will be back.

Funny how caching instinct can get you places. Walking back to the beach with the geokiddies decided this would be a good spot for a cache and there was one! Right where we sat!! TFTC.

The first attempt at finding this one was thwarted by muggle activity but on return from a short walk (and other cache hunts) the coast was clear for a quick find. Creative container - TFTC

Visiting morning for today only while cruising on the P and O Eden. I hopefully will get 7 caches within walking distance of the wharf. This is number 1 totally Loved the container.

Got ya! 10 points for camo!

Geo daughter grabbed this one during lunch at Mornington. TFTC.

Cool

Out with my family enjoying a relaxed new years day we came down here for some ice cream and while eating it we headed down this way to see if we could find this cache. I took a family effort to not look too suspicious whilst we searched but soon my youngest had the well cammoed cache in her hand. Great work on this one TFTC

I was in town with my friends, my little friend found it! Well placed cache. Excellent camo!!!! TFTC

awesome cache

Drove down from Sydney to watch a gymnastics competition. Brought a few TBs for a bombing run.
So ...
In: TB/Alberta the Moose
Out: nothing
Excellent camo and hide, Boris&Natasha

Down in Rye for a holiday with friends, and came down to rye to meet a friend at the Mornington market. Stopped off here after getting fish and chips for lunch, a quick find with a very impressive container. Thanks!

Great camo, geo-boy had cache in hand, log signed and replaced before I had a chance to have a good look. TFTC

Over on holiday and attending the Melbourne Mega collecting caches along the way.
Thanks for adding to the enjoyment of this trip.

TFTC

Great camo ! Took a little bit of foraging.

Great and sneaky catch. Easy to find

Find Number 3181

The Booo's found this cache, What a tricky little hide this was. After waiting out the muggles made the attempt but nope. Waited some more and tried again and success

Thanks BorisB&Natasha for placing this cache

Tftc

Nice camo . Done this on a trip to sorrento. Showing a friend i may have converted

Very busy on this Sunday afternoon. Had to be very careful if all the muggles nearby. Thank u for the hide x

Sounds like i almost met ThePicots. Agreed, top shelf camouflage. Well done, and thanks!

This was the second one for my parents. It was great to see grandma and grandad looking for it in the main street of Mornington

A little debate with KenneallyKrew ensued with GPS bouncing all over but got there in the end. TFTC

Quick find after leaving a 70th birthday party around the corner, might be a slow trip home if we cache all the way back to knox!
Great container Lol
Tftc
Cheers

Very clever!!!

Love the container!

Out for a day of geocaching, no real plans made just a casual day for once The windy conditions certainly made for a chilly expedition.

Very crafty camo!! Obviously effective as its still there and in tact!

TFTC

So clever!!!

Very nice hide. Great camo. TFTC

Nice camo. Muggles friend liked this omr. Tftc

A nice little hide tftc

Took a bit of looking to snare this one. Neither gps was particularly helpful and even using the it took a couple of minutes. Brilliant cache container, perfect for this cache, it gets a favourite point from us. Thanks for the history lesson and thanks for the cache.

Awesome hide. So well hidden. Nearly gave up but mindh0rn refuses to be beaten! Tftc!

Excellent hide. Hard not to look suspicious around the muggles but found a break in the muggle traffic and bam. Now just waiting for a chance to hide it again.

Great camouflage found with Tara_1984

TFTC - best camouflage goin! Found by AlizaSkulls

We decided to take a trip out for the day to the Mornington Peninsula to see what was about, and to try some cheese, wine, fudge.....hmmmm so much yummy food. We stopped nearby to grab a late morning coffee, and some of the best carrot cake ever! I spent a bit of time looking for this one and was having some problems. Ended up having to get Mel to come and help me and she put her hand on it straight away! A great little cache hidden in plain sight. Grabbed a TB that hasn't been logged into this one. TFTC

Callum n I found this and it was a goodie...seen stuff like this before but this was my fav!

This was another good reminder to trust in my instincts rather than try to follow the gps round as it turns out this one was in pretty much the first place I looked but after a quick look there the gps told me it was off to the right so I followed and it promptly turned me round again in vaguely the same direction I had come from which kept happening while I tried moving stuff around and pulling on random twigs without too much success, meanwhile it was getting darker and darker and I started finding it even harder to see so I finally sat down right where I had sat at the start and decided that not only matches the hint it's also where I would have put it so finally after a more thorough search of this spot I finally found the right twig to pull and cache was in hand! left nothing and took nothing. TFTC!

Found weeks ago, but had no pen. Finally got back to log it. Nice camo!

In Mornington for a family lunch when the geobaby got tired of waiting. It was lucky this little gem was across the road. So the cousin, baby and I were off.

Was a quick find but with lots of muggles and I have to say I loved the camo, well worth a favorite point from me.

Placed the holiday bear travel bug in honor of a few days off.

Fantastic hide, TFTC, SL

My mum and I decided that today we would go to Mornington. So of course, we had to do a couple of caches. What great camouflage! I would have never found it without the hint. Took a travel bug. TFTC!

Great camo. Lots of muggles, care taken.TFTC

Our last stop on our Monday "Cache around the Bay".
Ninth of nine finds for today.
We stopped for fish and chips and as we were leaving Chris said "probably a good time to look for this cache" A few people in the establishment across the road and three muggladies decided to say good night to each other just near GZ.
We patiently waited them out and this clever cache was soon in hand (thanks to the hint).
Took nothing, left nothing. Visited some TBs.
Thank you to all who have taken care of this cache since it was placed.
Your efforts are appreciated.

Found it. Cute little camo!
No spoiler pics for this one

Caching in Mornington with kmace this afternoon and this one was next. Given it was late afternoon there actually weren't many muggles about which made hunting much easier! Parked just around the corner and walked to GZ where we have a good look at the bollard - certainly a solid one! The GPSr was pointing to a specific hiding spot so I took one side and kmace the other and I had the cache in hand after a short search - brilliant camo on this one! Thanks to BorisB&Natasha for this one.

Found this one today with Littlemerpip. The bollard was very interesting and after parking nearby we walked over there and located the cache. I then read all the plaques on the bollard.

Thanks for the cache BorisB and Natarsha.

Nice camo. Easy find when you know what to look for

On a drive down from Melbourne for my daughter to gain some hours, we had lunch only 20 meters from this cache. Part of the deal was that she drives, and I collect some caches, and this was the one for today. Sometimes, a busy day is the best time for these ones, so we wandered around, read the inscription and I made the find and signed the log without anyone batting an eyelid. Great camo and another wonderful cache from these brilliant CO's. Thanks BorisB&Natasha.

Bollards! - I still can't find this treasure. Just too many Muggles walking down the street interrupting my search on a reasonably fine Mornington Sunday afternoon. Will have to have another try when I return back home here from New Zealand on another visit.

Very exposed on Sunday night. Great camo. So clever. Loved it. Regards from WA.

Another cache last day of 2014, a year that saw me pass 10k founds among other milestones.
Thanks for this story and the good hide
An FP for the nice camo

Found on a caching day out whilst visiting family in Melbourne.
Was a reasonably quick find.

Well hidden and well camouflaged. Another great cache. TFTC.

What a hoot! Thankyou had fun finding this one with a friend after a beautiful meal at the Afghan restaurant just up the road - couldn't resist a cache on the way home

Nice spot to sit down and watch the world go by. Thank you for the cache

Tried this one a couple of times before but the area had always been blocked off. Nice easy one this time with resident son. thanks for the cache

This cache has been my nemesis for some time so decided it befitting for my 400th find
With the assistants of a revised clue (and 3rd owner) the cache was soon in hand
Excellent cache camouflage has earned it a Favourites point
Many thanx to BorisB&Natasha

Found it while on a car buying missing in Mornington! Car was purchased, so it was time for fish and chips. While the boys waited for the food, I went off and found this cache. I loved the camo... I was afraid I was going to break it when taking the lid off. I was super careful. It was a beautiful work of art on the CO's part. Thank you for providing a beak in the day! Wish i had more time to get a few more.

In Mornington for an appointment and thought I'd try finding this cache again since being replaced. Another amazing cache design! Great location as there's somewhere to sit now.

Found with Smurfette at 1:06pm on Tuesday 14th October 2014

Thanks for another amazing cache! Haven't been searching for a couple of weeks because I've been sick with the flu which I'm still getting over but this is my first one in awhile and my 56th find too!
