Haven't been able to get to this to fix so will archive to free up the area. If I get a chance, I might try to rethink this cache and put in version 2. We'll see. Thanks to all those that have found this cache.

came here today with some of my geo-friends as one of them had not yet logged the cache due to large muggle activity last time he came. however cache was nowhere to be found, dissappointed we checked the last few logs and they were all DNFs so we thought that this one might have been muggled

I thought I had disabled this already. Will check this ASAP.

Dropped by and discreetly I was able to make a pretty detailed search of the object at GZ. After 10 minutes of checking facebook with detailed sideways glances and a few "phone calls" with lots of wondering fingers I was none the wiser. Not sure if it is still there or gone. Might want to check on it team coxy.

This morning headed to GZ and by the hint and name of the cache, was quite clear where the cache should have been.

Did a discrete search whilst pretending to use the "ring ring" but no find. Agree with previous comments, reckon this one has been muggled.

Too many muggers around

Muggles *

Had as much of a look as I could with all the muggles around, should've picked a different time of day methinks. Thanks anyway.

easy too find - MPLC

Sunday afternoon not to many muggles we are away to our next cache

Too easy....cache number 9 for us....probably the most boring one so far

#9 cache

Found this afternoon on our trip up from Geelong. Little bit of searching located the nicely hidden little package. As I was signing the log book, I think some-one must have put a sign for "FREE BEER " right next to us. All of a sudden there were muggles everywhere !! Took quite a while of "window shopping " to get the chance to return the cache !! Well done team_coxy. TFTC.

Cool find. Blended in well. Found it with the KOCATOO'S

Nice one. Did it in the pouring rain but we are tuff. We went with Giggibaliggi.

Excellant hide. The name really gives it away. Had to wait a few mins for passing muggles but the cache is back in place. SL, TFTC

Tftc

Found this one on a very wet night. It took me a while to find this one and so I was having a pretend conversation to distract muggles. Signed log but didn't swap anything.

Thanks for the cache team coxy.

Our first geochace!! Took us a while and lacked stealth

found this one today while it was raining so there were almost no muggles which helped significantly. there were still muggles inside the shops so i had to retrieve the cache stealthily, this was eventually done but took a while. TFTC

Agree with the description, a very easy find but a challenging interaction with the cache. I went on a Sunday.... LoL
If you go for this cache, make sure you have a coffee and cake in Vanilla lounge, just fabulous.
A nice sports car got my attention while roaming the streets

Trickier find than expected and super-stealth required. Deceptively tricky - nice one!

It was so easy today that I fear for its safety. If you live close, team coxy, it would be worth a visit to make it more secure. Thanks for an easy one today.

Muggles everywhere. Stealth required. TFTC

Came past here with Darmoo. Found the location but way too many muggles about at lunch time. Will have to go back at a later time.

Good hint TFTC.

Found today while out and about with the Geodog. Used the old adjust the dog collar while looking for this cache and also to replace it!. Signed log. Thanks for the cache team coxy.

Went early morning and found it quite easily. Thanks

Brilliant hide!!! Thanks

Thanks to the tiny hands of Geowife it was quickly found.
TFTH. Signed log

I didn't know these things still existed! Nice hide, thanks for the cache! The moccasins in the shop window got my attention!

These are becoming more and more rare aren't they? It was fairly late in the afternoon so there weren't to many muggles around and we got a close park to GZ so the grab was quick n easy. Thanks.

A somewhat unusual sight in these days of mobile phones. However this one hides a cache!!!! Just had to wait for the odd muggle or two to pass.

Quick find! But not too obvious!

Heading home after going to see Silver Lining Playbook at Chaddy on Tight Arse Tuesday (aka half price movie night), we had stopped to get fuel and Trent decided to grab a couple of caches on the way.

After locating somewhere to park the GeoRanger, we headed to GZ where Katy pulled out one of the legendary caching moves in the heart of mugglezone to locate the cache. Then it was wait out a couple of strolling muggles for the retrieve and use the nearby real estate agent's window as cover to sign the log. Another wait for a few more to pass us before we could replace then it was home time.

Thanks for the cache.

3/03/13 14:51 Find #2268 . It's surprisingly busy in Oakleigh on a Sunday afternoon with many muggles lunching in the mall near GZ

I was lucky to get a park within 50m of the cache and a quick and easy find/log/replace was completed

Cheers team coxy

Found after a coffee with a friend. Lots of muggles around on a beautiful Sunday evening so spent quite a bit of time looking in the real estate window waiting for the right moment. Luckily the cache was not to difficult to find. No one in sight when ready to replace. Great hide. TFTC
.

Hehe this was a great hide love it

A very quick drive by after finishing at midnight.
Quickly retrieved the cache and jumped back in the car to sign log. Took forever to replace as muggles walking past decided to look at real estate windows. Maybe they thought I was the muggle.

Replaced cache as I found it.

TFTC team coxy

HEYVJ

Found by The Empire
Find number 23 of 25 today. Nice one, had to be stealthy! Thanks for the cache team coxy.

TFTC! Found with BKC.

Quick drive by at night. TFTC

GPS was not happy here, but scanning the area saw us heading in the correct direction. A surprisingly easy find and retrieval. Good timing. TFTC

Quick find on our way home. Not too many muggles around at this time of day thankfully. TFTC

15:32
This is the upside of temperatures of 40° plus: there were not a lot of people around, so the opportunity arose to grab this cache in broad daylight, with a little bit of "doing up shoelaces" and a touch of "making a call", plus a dash of "oops" thrown in for good measure.

Probably the best fun a person can have with his pants on.

#1237

Was driving home after doing some night caches and I thought that at 1:00am on a public holiday night would be a great time to grab this one in a high muggle area. Well pulled up to find someone using the device at GZ. Waited for 0 minutes before he finally moved on then I was able to grab the cache quickly. Thanks to team coxy for this one.

Found this one after an amazing dinner at a Greek restaurant for my 23rd birthday! TFTC!

Had trouble parking the car!.. but still managed to get this one during our lunch hr.. found with TurnerFamily. TFTC

Finally found it. There is only so many times a person can pretend to drop a coin and pick it up slowly whilst looking for a cache before they arouse suspicion. Another lunch find for E10707 and I. TFTC.

Monday night after dinner. A few muggles around so had to read a few more real estate window notice boards than I wanted to but after that and a fake phone call found it pretty quickly. TFTC.

Over the other side of town for lunch so quick cache find - no one around TFT

#190 A quick cache on our way to Chadstone.
Oreo and sis got a ride from Caulfield to Oakleigh on the train, and they had to find a cache today to keep their streak alive. So at Oakleigh Station, we searched for nearby caches and we found this one. After a short walk we neared GZ and started the search. After looking for a while, we located the cache, signed the log, and after waiting for juggles to go past, replaced it.
Thanks for the cache team_coxy!

This was another cache for our Vic/Tas trip, so hello from Townsville, QLD.

TFTC TNLN SL

Condorito

Sunday morning on a ride and found GZ relatively quiet as I know how busy it gets here. It was still difficult to search as a family were waiting nearby and people wandered by at regular intervals. During quiet breaks I felt around a little and then moved away, felt around and moved away. Almost abandoned this, but a clear break meant I could have a closer look and there it was. Signed the log and waited and waited for another break to replace the container. Thanks for the cache, team_coxy, a real urban challenge!

Still needed a cache for the day and just finished orienteering in Carnegie. This one looked like a possibility on a Monday night, last time I was here at lunchtime and there was no hope.
Still the cafes were open but the opportunity for a sneeky walk by was there, go for it. Signed the log down the road and repeated my sneekiness in reverse.
TFTC team coxy

Cool spot in a very busy street. Given the difficulty rating we took the effort to prepare our family routine and code words, which worked a treat. Now time for coffee and sweets in the cafe. SL, TFTC.

Some muggles around, but I managed to retrieve the cache and went off to sign it. Ready to return it, a muggle stood at GZ waiting for a friend, so I studied a lot of real estate before being able to return the cache safely. Bold hide, thanks team coxy

Very muggle orientated!! But a good find!!
Ring ring!!!

First find after a string of no finds so felt good to get this one! No muggle troubles getting it but when we took it out to sign the log, had to wait for a lady to end her call before we could return it. TFTC!

Found at 7:50pm. Have tried this one before but 3 people were sitting in a car right at the cache at 1am! We even looked at real estate for 30 mins hoping they would leave, but they didnt. So we came back tonight and was able to pick this one up. Great hide! SL TFTC

Found during a night of caching.
You dont see many of these around in the streets any more.......or is it just we dont look for them?

Lots of people round this morning, though no one needing to make a phone call. Quick find and I was on my way.

My gps had me on the wrong side of the road but the hint put me right on track for an easy find. Nice cache

Came here after my weekly sporting competition at MSAC. As I cache alone at night, I looked for a couple of caches that weren't in parks or laneways. This was the second of two. Hardly any muggles about so late at night but I imagine this little shopping strip is very busy during the daytime. I got a park right next to GZ and after a brief search I found the bold hide and then signed the log at 12:30am.

TNLN. Thanks team_coxy for the interesting caching experience and for bringing me to this cute little shopping strip.

A quick walk to this while waiting for dinner. Easy find thanks to the hint. Great hide. Return to join my folks later and the food is still not served yet. What a good time to do geocaching. TFTC
Greetings from Singapore

Quick find. Btw there's a market on round the corner on Sundays TFTC

A little indirection needed on repacking the shopping to not appear too obvious while accessing the cache.

My first ever geocaching experience! Went at night time and found after a little search. Thanks

Late night, under cover of darkness!!!

Quick find. David.

We found ourselves in the right place and the right time and only had to wait a short time to avoid muggles to answer the call of finding the cache. A quick search meant there was only one spot it could be and we soon put our hand on it. Nice container. We completed the signing duties and then replaced. TFTC

Evening is a great time to come here as the streets are virtually deserted. Only a couple of take out food places were open and the name certainly took us straight to GZ, so cache found and discretely logged. TFTC team coxy.

I jumped on the train for a quick lunchtime visit to this cache, as it perfectly meets the criteria for one of the GeosportZ events. With all of the passing pedestrians I had to be very careful, but eventually I was able to lay my hands on the sneaky hide. Cheers!

We are partaking in the 2012 Geosportz http://www.cachinggames.com/gz2012/ and needed a cache with "Ring" in the cache name to fit the Gymnastics theme.
On the way there the Hilux tray truck in front of us dropped a pair of Ear Muffs on the road as they turned the corner. We caught up with them at the next set of lights and GMelb went up to the driver to tell him... The poor driver got a real fright as he thought that GMNelb was going to yell at him ... GMelb = Road Rage ..... I dont think so!!!!! lolol Anyway the driver was very thankful as he then discovered his "box" was open and any number of things could have started falling out as he was driving along!
It was a wet morning so once we got to GZ it was a pretty weasy find as there weren't heaps of people around
TFTC team coxy - off to another one of yours ... lol - GJMMelb

Great cache but I don't think it requires that much of a difficulty not many around today and was quite easy. Nice container and very interesting hide and lovely area and people.
TYFTC

Found on another trip in to the MMC nearby. Not many muggles around on a Saturday arvo.
Nice hide and a quick find thankfully. Love D4 caches that don't take an hour to find. TFTC,
Roostaman.

Found by Facitman at 17:35
Working on the GeoCalendar again today and it wasn't until the end of the day that I had the chance to focus of caching. My unfound caches within a reasonable distance of home or work are becoming more of a problem so I headed a bit past home to attempt this cache. A few people around but as most shops had closed I was able to loiter around GZ without much trouble. Found the cache after checking a few different spots and tying my shoelaces! There was a conveniently placed shelf to write my log so soon I had the cache re-hidden and was heading home.
Thanks team_coxy

Out with the Blank Clan. (Big Blank, Trish Fish, Water Monster) TFTC

10/06 17:36 Am easy after hours grab and sign.

Very nice hide TFTC

Found on a foggy Queen's birthday tftc

09/06/2012 19:18 After the smiley flashmob event I picked up some furniture in Mentone and decided to grab some caches on the way back. This one included. Well hidden in the only logical spot but I still managed to knock it from its perch and was grabbing it off the footpath., Some muggles bout but I was busy with my bag etc so that hid my caching activities. TFTC team_coxy TNLN SL

This time of night there was still plenty of activity with take away across the road.

Even the constable picking up a late feed would have been none the wiser to me.

I looked high and low before discovering this rather simple clever hide.

TFTC

Found on a day where we decided to do caches, challenges and attend two WWFMIX events. starting at 11am finishing at 4.30am ahhhhhhhhhh.

Arrived at GZ and waited for a muggle to complete their phone call. A quick grab and a fake call on the phone before signing and returning the cache. TFTC. Stealth required

A quick find not to many muggles A bit cheeky worth a Favorit I like the container Thanks Team-coxy

My first ever geocache find! I stumbled across the whole concept recently and did a quick search to see if any of this stuff happened in my area. Turns out there was this cache just down the road from work, Ive walked past it nearly every day for three years and never known that there was something interesting going on just under my nose. Took me a couple of attempts to find it (I had no idea what I was looking for) but when I did there was an enormous sense of achievement.
Thanks team, may this be the first of many.

Did this one about midday.... Did the MATRIX thing and did a bank robbery to get a pen..... Nice fun cache... T4TC.....

Most annoying cache EVER!!! walked past to see.... no good! walked back... searched in bag for coins.... searched in bag for phone number...... picked up phone...... inserted coins..... refunded coins....... dialled fake number..... all the time searching every square inch of this thing.... under... on top... beside... did not find!!! Will return one day in middle of the night when mugglers arent so thick... there was even delivery men unloading a trailer there the whole time.

Found in the company of lochb on a wintery Melbourne ANZAC day.
After a previous DNF, this cache was added to our 'annoying' cache list which needed to be found today!
No incoming calls here today, had to 'pretend' a few fake ones to foil the muggle passerbys.
Thanks team_coxy for this cache.

Second attempt to find this cache - it has been muggled last time. With some difficulty, PrincessDiala and I eventually located it! TFTC

Found at 2.55pm With Mrs80 now able to put on a pair of shoes today was a great opportunity to head out for some serious caching with xambo4u. As it says its all in the name. Mr X parked very close and a quick recovery was made. TFTC team coxy

2.55 Out and about with 80 degrees (glad to have you back on board) today. We were worried about the weather allowing us to get out but we are enjoying a break from the rain now. Mrs 80 did our list as we wanted to polish of a couple of puzzle ones we had done for this area. The name did say it all for this one for us. Good little hide and we were in luck again as NO muggles around. Suprised to find a street phone that actually worked.
Thanks for the cache team coxy

Had some time to kill before my course started. Area was muggle-free at 8:30am on a Monday morning so it was a quick find and sign. Thanks for the cache team_coxy!

The first time here the cache had gone missing so it was time to make another phone call. Sunday afternoon seemed to be a logical time considering it's location. Even so the street was full of parked cars but, fortunately, very few people about. TFTC.

easy find hard to pick up and put back thanks

Found by CamBendy.
Find #310 on 20.03.2012 @ 13:00.

I am quite embarrassed to say that I was about to give up on this one due to the difficulty of searching with all the other muggles all around. Luckily I had a three and a half year old geonior with me today who got impatient with his father and was able to walk straight up to the cache, grab it and declare "here it is, you silly daddy!"

Sufficiently chastised, we took the prize with us to the nearby cafe to sign the log while having lunch.

Who knew kids could be useful?

TFTC

Though late at night, the street was quite busy. I had to go around the corner to get a park. I could search relatively inconspicuously, and located the cache after a couple of minutes. TFTC

SteveR1 & ShazzaR

Very easy to guess its location but difficult to look for it without looking conspicuous by muggles. Found it within 3 minutes of reaching its location.

A nice quick find while heading home from shopping for the day. Thanks for the cache Team_coxy!

Awoke early so time to have another crack at The Cupcake Cache. No joy - early morning muggle workers so I daren't make an attempt. I remembered this cache had been reactivated so I came and found the place deserted (yay!). After a quick search I made an easy find (in the place I should have remembered to check first), log recorded and smilie achieved. TFTC

I was happy to find this cache on the second attempt, after a DNF the first time when it had been muggled. Found it reasonably quickly, but to the muggles around at 5pm on a monday arvo I had to use a bit of stealth. A bit of searching through my notepad, then placing a fake call brought time as muggles passed by. I soon had the log signed and placed away in its spot safely. Thanks for replacing this one team_coxy, I enjoyed the theatrics that went with finding and signing this cache. Dipped a few TBs. TFTC.
