As there has been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it has been a number of months since the last owner note I am archiving this cache to keep 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 28 days), just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

Should you replace the cache after 28 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.

Too long without replacement!

Thanks for the advice Ministro.

Yep, as one of the last people at the cache location, I can say that it's either hidden really well, or gone. Could the owner please check on it?

Thanks.

I should have read the notes first and saved my time.
should be archived

Just wondering if this one is coming back?? Would really love to put a smiley face on it.

Had a good hunt in this deserted park in fading light. Could not see it.

Hey there the caches mugged

Thanks

After my stealth skills had failed (by being approached luckily by a fellow cacher who claimed it to have been muggled) I found the cache after a very brief search (and I mean brief) Guess when it said micro it really meant micro

You just have to love Cup Day holiday being on a Tuesday, especially if your main caching night is a Monday night. This can only mean one thing, a huge night of caching! I had spent the morning with my girlfriend at the cinema, before the appointed meeting with Blacklegend and RebelActs later in the early afternoon. Our other team member, Quasar3671 was heading north to Queensland for the second time in two weeks, to clean up the power trails up there, so it was just the three of us tonight. So we based our caching area on one location we knew Q3 had cleared. We had also planned to grab caches that can only be found legally during daylight hours, so we packed the cars with our bikes and headed south to the Cranbourne Botanical Gardens. With the first 17 caches found in under an hour (love those bush mountain biking adventures) we headed south from there all the way down to Mornington. I’m pretty sure we visited about 56 caches for the night and my personal total was 51 finds. There were a few DNF’s which took a bit of time out of the run, but we were pretty sure the caches were not there and a RM will be logged for each of them. With such great company, why wouldn’t you be out caching at night in such warm weather? Thanks again to each and every CO for their efforts. Tricky, very tricky. GZ had us searching the wrong spot, and having spent a bit of time there I decided to search another nearby location, where I hound the cache after about a minute of looking. Thanks for another nano in the bush type hide!

Another huge TDC / RA alliance caching night. Headed down to meet up with the crew which included Trailrunning and Rebel Acts for the night. Quasar3671 was heading north to Cairns for a road trip to view the total eclipse. We ended up with a huge haul for the night with nearly 50 finds, but soured by 3 DNF's. With bikes on board, we cleared the Cranbourne Botanical Gardens and did some other bike caching. Great fun. The night was geared to a general cleanup of the Mornington Peninsula, which we did. An awesome night of caching with some great caches found in both day and night.

Found pretty easy in the end. TFTC.

Another big night out with the TDC boys, Trailrunning and Blacklegend, long weekend end meant caching time was extented, not a big fan of nanos in the bush, but thankfully we soon had this one found. Thanks for the cache.

Out and about with Steve (Stemicmitsar) for a Joe - Night caching Mission. Mission Accomplished.. Now after midnight we both grabbed this one.. I'd nearly given up, however eagle eyed Steve wasn't going to let this one rest.. Thanks Saulman / Begear12 / Monkeychal 88 for the cache. Find # 3031 Dipped various coins and travel bugs

Found @ 12:05am, find # 1682
I was out on the hunt for caches with Spladem and we decided to stop of at this one to see if we could find it as I have had a short visit at this one before and left empty handed.
This time we had a quick scout around but concentrated most in one area and a short time later a very tiny cache was located.
Thanks to saulman1010, bigar12 and monkeychal88 for this cache.

Found on Fathers Day caching drive with the GeoKids Blake & Nate

Nice hide quick finds while kids played TFTCLS

Found @1125 #1811
As today was International Geocaching day, this obsession demands that I search out Tupperware and to help with this task i was accompanied by caching partner in crime, ahomburg. The focus today was the Mornington region as both of us had not found many in this region before. Today was also a typical 4 seasons in one day with rain then wind then sunshine and so on. This day also saw me walk around 10+ km's which I think could be a record for me.

This little micro took a few minutes to locate and was initially missed on my first scan. Once found had to signal ahomburg over who was at least 40m away at this point. Good old yellow brick does it again. Today the GPSr had GZ about 7m out but given the terrain the possible locations were obvious. TFTC bigar12 and monkeychal88, enjoyed the hunt.

Find # 1972

Well, a drizzly Saturday morning, so why not another cache run with my caching partner in crime, sedgwickDave. Today was international Geocaching day, so we wanted to make sure we made the most of it. We decided to head towards Mount Martha, then north towards Mornington.

Again parked very close to this one, I headed in one direction and dave headed in the opposite direction, I think my smartphone is not so smart and needs restarting. Shortly after, dave had the cache in hand.

Thanks to saulman1010 (And Bigar12 + Monkeychal88) for the hide.

GREAT FIND

I had just started looking for this one when a teenager walked in and asked "Are youy looking for the cache?" I grinned and admitted I was. He told me it was his brothers cache. I asked if I was in the right place and he said "Yeahhh, the cache has been moved, try that way a bit!" So I tried that way a bit and found the little thing!! Thanks CO's brother!!!!

It seems there are a few of this type of cache infiltrating now!!!

Cache is now back online and now a micro

Cache is now back on line.
Boys came back from OZmega with a heap of nasty, nasty, nasty little micro's they want to inflict on the world

Boys came back today with cache in hand, cache was all wet, trashed and the remains of the cache retrieved from the bin. Therefore cache is offline for a day or so till we revisit the location.......Watch this space.....

Nice easy find. Thanks!

Lovely morning for a play on the playground and a quick Geocache

Caching our way from Tyabb to Mornington this one was on our to do list,
Thanks for the cache saukman1010,
Regards Mr.Coffee and the Coffee Clan.

nice easy find thank you

With a chance of getting a big milestone before the end of the year, and a New Year's Eve party to attend in Portsea, I decided to spend the day wondering down the Mornington Peninsula, finding caches along the way. I thought I was in with a good chance to get to 4 digit numbers with the number of caches that are scattered around the area. How wrong I was. I only managed to find 8 caches all day, then, with 5 DNF’s in a row, I called an end to play due to frustration and moved on to my other engagements. This was the second cache find for the day. Another nice park, again I was lucky no one was here so I was able to find sign and replace the cache without looking suspicious for hanging around a playground. The cache is in good condition. Thanks for the cache, bigar12 & monkeychal88.

My Cousin has come down to take me on a Cache numbers run as he is disapponted with my effort over the last two and half years, I think he's happy with today's end result...A nice easy find a lovely big play area that very sadly had no kids playing in it!...game consoles have a lot to answer for! ...TFTC SL

5178. [font=Century Gothic][green]Driving toward this one we were a bit worried (due to the name) that we may have some issues with mini-muggles. After all it was a glorious day, not too hot and no wind. On top of that it's a lovely large park for kids to run a round in. The final count of kids enjoying this park = zero. Sad really.

Rated: for Overall Experience

TFTC. Found with jamurchie

TFTC! Found it, and so had a few of the local invertebrates! TNLNSL.

Found cache. Still in very good condition considering all the rain we have had.

My first cache found in Australia! ^^

Wish I hadn't forgotten my pen though. >.

Found the cache easily enough - it was exposed and open. It had been for long enough too for some snails to make a job of some log pages! I cleaned everything up and properly replaced the container under some camo. All appears well now.

Judith and Charlene spent another day caching on the Mornington Peninsula, Visiting Mornington this time to do some caching in the lovely sunshine and with lovely views over Port Phillip Bay to Melbourne.

Easy pick up.

Easy find,buy smothered on snails... yuk!

Continuing on our cache a day quest to see how long we can keep it up for we thought that today might have been the day that it ended. We pulled up where Nuvi told us to with the rain absolutely bucketing down. A quick look around the back seat told us that we had left the wet weather gear at home and not wanting to be drowned an hour from home we decided that we would give it ten minutes and if it didn't improve head off. The caching gods must have been on our side today because within five minutes of making the decision the rain started to ease a bit and slowly turned to a light drizzle. We made the most of it and headed to gz for a very quick find as the cache was sitting quite exposed so after adding our name to the log we re hid it a little bit better and headed back to the car without getting too wet
Thanks saulman1010 for the cache

Muggles down on the swings, but far emough away not to disturb us. Rotten buggers left the park just as we did!
Thanks, Robmc.

Some very big kids were playing on the equipment further down the park but we had cover at the cache site and soon found and logged this one.

Nice and easy, one if many stops on my day

Found it with 3 young boys who were also looking for it. No trackAble unfortunately. TNLN SL TFTC

Yeah, second cache. Also found a trackable on someone's car, but I forgot the number!

Found with cronix38. Found trackable on a car, but forgot number

Nice easy cache. Thanks for the hide.

Another quick find with my daughter, grabbing a few caches after preschool. Then spend a bit of time on the roundabout getting motion sickness! TFTC

Not in favour of playground caches but a quick find and a quick exit made me feel more comfortable!
Many thanx to saulman1010

One of the advantages of caching mid-week is that people are at work or school, making playground caches a little more available for a single male. Today, in this park, there was only a dog walker at the opposite side, so my search was quick and unimpeded. Thanks for the cache.

Great day out with the kids and a chance meeting with the owner of the cache. Dropped off a TB.

arvo finding a few on the way home
nice little park
thank you saulman

2011-07-23 13:07 A nice easy find. TFTC.

found easily enough, a nice drive by cache, took the swaggie TFTC

Tftc!!

Quick find on a short cache run with 19Kings and Dunko TFTC SL

Found while out on a jaunt with my caching buddy Slink1 and others TFTC SL

Nice easy find. TFTC SL

TB visit

This turned out to be a quick find in a lovely neighbourhood park. Thanks for the fun cache.

The Geokid had found this one before I had got out of the GeoTruck with the GPS. She is in tune. T4TC

Took Travel Bug and Coin

After a long lay-off from both caching and physical exertion, I decided to combine the two today and cycle around a few local caches.

This was the first find of the day and nice easy introduction back both activities - a leisurely cycle ride and and easy find.

Thanks for the cache.

A really great cache
A lot of fun!!! TFTC

TFTC!!!! Super fun! Great hiding spot

Nice easy find
TFTC

We found this cache today at 5:35pm as the 33rd of 36 on our Mornington Train Whistle Blowing Tour. There was just enough light to find this one without a torch but this would be the last we could do that on this evening. Thanks from D & H B-A.

A rather belated logging of a find - on 25th. May in a street I know well.

Sneaked up and caught Dobby762 in the act!

MrsGaffy and the Gaffsters. Tftc. Tnln.

Nice park. Very well hidden. My first traditional cache.

EB Nano was more interested in checking out the playground than finding a cache. There was a flock of rosellas on the flowering gums here today, all chatting to each other. TFTC

Nice and straightforward find in the company of TrudyJane - the only muggle activity was the trees full of rainbow lorikeets.

TFTC. Had a play on the playground and off again caching Left Geocoin!

A quick drive by, and even though there was muggles nearby on the playground equipment the cache was retrieved safely. Thanks saulman1010. TFTH...SL...TNLN

Driving around with walenators, we arrived at another cache that he had not found before. Being as inconspicuous as two blokes in a land rover can be pullin up to a park, we managed to make a very quick find in a well shielded location. Thanks for another cache on my mini assualt around the area today saulman1010

Took the geo coin

Cheers

Found a couple of weeks ago. Has taken a while to get around to logging the find though. TFTC

I was nervously excited searching for my first 'solo' cache. Got the adrenalin flowing. Left a golf ball, took a little action man figure. Thankyou to the owner who knew was sneakily watching what I was up to. It was lovely to meet him and his friend.

Parked the car and made the short stroll over to GZ where the cache was found soon afterwards. Signed the log and rehid the cache. A nice quick one which was good as it was raining a fair bit at the time. Thanks for the hide.

Day off work and out shopping thought I would get ths one
TFTC SL TNLN

A nice little park off the beaten track.

Logged from my phone using the Geocache Navigator by Trimble. Found at 1.05 pm on the way home from a non-geocaching day out, just thought we would drop in for this new one. TNLNSL TFTC

Nice early morning cache.

*FTF*@8.30pm Find#573
On my way to the Friendly floaties night event and thought Id stop by and have a look for this cache 
Found in the first place I looked and to my amazement unfound. Couldn't believe it, checked the back of the log book, looked at the front again, checked the middle, Wow where was everyone? I guess watching the wedding LOL
Cheers for the cache Bigar12 & Monkeychal88
Left ziplock bag for the log book
