Western Port Bay Trail - Balnarring Balnarring, Victoria, Australia
By -Lisette- on 01-Jul-11. Waypoint GC2Z9XV

Archived so no maintenance required

Due to the number of vandalisms that this cache had endured I feel that it is time for it to be archived

Not there unless it was a plastic case.... if so destroyed.

Didn't find it, unless it was the plastic case, which if it was has been destroyed and vandalised.

Broken cache but pretty easy.

Been vandalised needs new log. Maybe camoflage it a bit better, high muggle area. Second find of the day with nyochi.

Found but has been muggled

Totally muggled

Thanks, but we think it's been vandalised... Was it this?

First cache we found

Nice area. TFTC Lisette

A nice little Butmeester discovery

A while since I have found one like this TFTC

A quick find at the start of a family bike ride.

Found it! We were in Balnarring for a 3 year old's beach party and a few caches on the way home. This was one of them. A quick find. TFTC SL

Hard to find when beginning but found it

Tftc

Have ridden a section of this path (Tyabb to Hastings) in the past but must return to complete the entire length
Many thanks to Lisette for the cache and reigniting the passion

A quick find. Parked here and did a few more nearby. Nice walking track.
TFTC

Staying in Sommers for a few days I had time to go for a few of the local caches.
Afternoon drive for some of the Jack Speak caches and a few more today.
Easy drive in cache here!
Thanks for the hide

A quick find on the way home TFTC

Driving around the area. Geotoddler made me play at the playground first. Tftc

found it Tftc.

Replaced the cache container

Such a beautiful town. Easy find. As I'm sure your aware the cache is busted.

Nice quick find after tea at the park. Thanks for the cache

And also I put some wrapping paper around the cache

Been meaning to get out to replace container for ages but haven't had time. Should be down that way for a function on 23rd so will do it then.

Needs a new container. Bring a pen.

The GPS was indicating 7mts but no matter where I went it always said the same. In the end we resorted to good old caching logic: where would we put it? Sure enough that was all that was needed and the cache wS located. Didn't gave our cache first aid case in the car so we couldn't repair the damaged case. Best we could do was wrap it in a bit of plastic and hope the CO gets to it before it rains. TFTC

Nice and easy, lids broken

First find and a nice easy one--and no huntsman today. But the container is broken and needs urgent replacement. Didnt have a pen so didn't sign. TFTC

Found it fairly quickly but still tricky TFTC

Nice one

Quik stop in the truck for lunch bingo another cache cheers

Really fun and hard too

Definitely a quick, easy, neat find on the way home from the dentist .

The huntsman is still there but very obliging!

Nice easy find while on a long (and rather wet) bike ride from Mordialloc to Flinders. TFTC

I was heading to the Red Hill Express series and picking up some caches along the way. Immediate find in the obvious place. Thanks to -Lisette- for the cache.

A great place to stop and and play with the mini-cachers. TFTC

Taking a break from the Jack Speak series. We parked near the skate park and took a short walk over to the GZ. Soon found the cache complete with added security (huntsman spider)! After some careful negotiations the spider agreed to let us access the cache! TFTC

Breaking up the Jack Speak Series we parked by the skate park and made a short walk aross to GZ. On Arrival we found a Huntsman guarding the hide but after moving him away the cache was soon retrieved signed and returned. TFTC

Easy

Found it

To easy

To easy

We stayed in the area overnight to visit our son today at Somers Camp. What a lovely area. We all feel very relaxed caching today. (it has been a while). TFTC!

Out on a trail today and this is one found on the way. TFTC

Found with LBB. TFTC

It might be dark but we found it.who needs eyes wen u can feel for it spiders or not.

Some workmen nearby were suspicious of my activities. Thanks Lisette.

Down on the Western Port side of the peninsula again today hunting down caches. I started in Hastings and looped down to crib point and back through Balnarring. 36 caches for the afternoon and a couple of DNFs. It was a pretty nice afternoon to be out and about. Thanks to all the COs for the placement of the caches.

Arrived at GZ and once I got past my dislike of spider webs the cache was in hand.

Thanks

Parked quite close but thn walked in a circle hile our GPS tried to decide where it was under the trees. Eventually sorted itself out and once in the GZ the find was quick. FTC

Tftc

Found but the huge spider did put me off! Thanks

Down on the peninsula for Noelle04's son's wedding so slipped out for a walk and some caching while here. TFTC.

A nice day for a bike ride and lunch at Balnarring . Decided to find a cache . A very quick find. Couldn't fill in the log as I forgot my pen. Thank you.

Night out with Planet Fab, thanks

Out on a night cache with Buzzlocks
This cache was one of many of the night
The star were out with a light cool breeze ,great night for caching !!
Lot of laugh and and intense searching
Great hide
Thanx for the cache and all the caching fun !!!

After GPS finally started to behave (what's up with iPhone4 at the moment…) we made the find. Good thing we read the previous logs giving a heads-up about a spider - luckily we didn't see any, but it helped us know where to look to find the cache. TFTC

Found it on the way to beach with hqe1

Easy find for the day, TFTC

Busy little spot. New where to look but do you think I could catch a break? Finally got my chance and almost missed it. Signed it quickly and then had similar problem returning it. TNLNSL. TFTC. Kems

The League of Rather Extraordinary Gentlemen mustered once more: two of the three foundation members and a couple of prospects.
Thus set out Starruby, Shogun (formerly known as Kellyhaunts), Rigger64 and Biggles1024 on the Red Hill Express Trail. The weather was fine, the company jovial, and many fine hides were found. We had a leisurely hike from Red Hill to Merricks, and I vowed to return with the kids on pushbikes.

Unfortunately, I am logging this great series months after my visit, and as a Basic Member (expired Premium ) I don't have the benefit of being able to read the cache description to jog my memory for the individual caches. Needless to say, the entire series was great fun and achieved in great company. My thanks to all the cache owners for laying out this great series. I will return with the entire family for an adventurous bike ride in the future, now that the youngest is off training wheels!

Find #714

Starruby, Rigger64 and Shogun and I assembled to this morning to launch our assault on the Red Hill Express Trail. Great weather, some terrific hides and great company made for a very enjoyable experience.
Having completed the series, we then proceeded to find a few more caches as they presented themselves to us.
This was one that I hadn't found. A quick find and then we were on our way.

We were at the park waiting for a cuppa and quickly ducked off and found this cache while we were here. A nice quick find today but had to contend with the gaurdian spider of the cache, but otherwise we had no problems. TFTC.

We stopped to have a cuppa here, but since I'd forgotten to brink milk, the Moose headed off to the nearby shops while Happy pants and I grabbed the cache. We thought we'd be muggled out, but thankfully they got up and left as we walked past them. Thanks for the hide.

Left a christmas smiley

Found with harv85

Had to take a reach of faith...first in new log!

Found It. Log Book Full so didn't sign it

Log book replaced.

Another great find on a day out with the kids. Tftc

Wet day might need a more waterproof container and new log book TFTC

After lunch found it

Fun morning out caching with Tony66. Rain holding off log very wet, just signed as R60 TFTC SL

This would be a nice cool shady spot on a hot day. Wasn't to hard to find. Thanks walenators FTC.

We had planned to come down the eastern side of the Mornington Peninsula today to look for caches in the Jack Speak series. However, we could not ignore other caches along the way. Accurate coordinates and few options on the vicinity for a hide led to a quick find. The cache and it’s contents were in good condition. TFTC walenators

Nice place to stop. SL TFTC

King and Geoprince

A quick stop off after a few school holiday days in Somers an easy find and a quick continue before the rest of the family catches up.

Our thanks again

Thanks for the cache

Got out of the car to look for this one and there were two very curious little muggles hanging about. they turned out not to be muggles but members of the Henderson clan (see next entry). Picked this one up rather easily as I had come across this type of hide before. TFTC

*LATE ENTRY*

A nice simple hide BUT ...... muggles hindered a quick retrieval - after a 10 min wait I finally managed to make a safe retrieval and return.

Many thx for the hide

The third of the day in the serie a Mexican in Australia, TFTC!!

On the way back from an unsuccessful look for a mystery cache, we pulled up under the pines and a quick search was successful at 11:50. TFTC

Quick find whilst finishing off Jack Speak. TFTC

We had cycled from Somers to climb Arthur's Seat and on our return had a coffee and muffin at a Balnarring Cafe nearby before we split to go our own ways. This was too good to pass up.
Thanks and cheers!

Good spot. Log is a bit wet

Quick find in the first place we looked for it. The log was wet but we dried it out in the car before returning it to it's hiding place. Nice location. SL.
TFTC, Merann.
