Not found since January, no response to "Needs Maintenance" in April...I think it was time it was archived to get it out of our searches.

Unable to find after much looking. Might need to look at this one

Found where it was supposed to be, but it wasn't there. Bloody teenagers.
 
12-Feb-13
It's either really well hidden or not there at all!!!
 
09-Feb-13
Searched for about 10mins, fell over, grazed my arm (ouch) and didn't find the cache. So after all that we don't think it's there.
Plz check this cache

At this hour on a sunday I felt safe enough to pull right out the way and take a short walk to GZ.

A quick look around and I was short handed.

Then I ventured in further and was soon signing the log.

A quick find,

thanks Box Hunters [:x]

Second find of the day, on my way home from work. I found that this cache had been muggled, ie turned out and left on the ground, in a place likely to be frequented by teens going there to smoke, or drink, graffiti, or anything else they don't want their parents to know about. Found the logbook, pencil and container. Re-hid how I probably think it originally was. The container contained nothing other than the log book and pencil, sorry about the money you asked us to leave there.
 
20-Nov-12
Running from the previous cache to this one, I had forgotten that the ring road bridge still cannot be passed under so had to take a detour up the hill to the overpass. The recently rescued box was found easily (well done to wallyhunt!) Thanks.

Quick find on way to airport

# 1316. This area is certainly extremely busy leading up to peak hour. We searched both sides of the road but with pretty accurate coordinates it didn't take Robmc long to locate the cache. TFTC
 
17-Sep-12
Found at 4:36 PM in the company of BettyBoo3747 and Robmc GAFF5. We split up and wnt to both sides of the road and Robmc was successful.
Thanks Box Hunters
 
17-Sep-12
Now this was a busy stretch of road in the afternoon. We were sure we knew where it would be, but those locations turned up nothing but spider webs. Widened the search a bit, and found the cache.
Thanks, Robmc.

My caching days are few and far between, so when I actually get to go caching, it always seems to come at a rush. Today was no exception. I started out in the Bendigo area (it seems I was only here a few days ago!) to meet up with Quasar3671 to take on the Smiley Face series out this way. As Blacklegend and I had done some of the caches in the area, Quasar3671 started earlier in the morning to pick up a few, and then we met at about 1 pm before tackling the caches Blacklegend had already completed. After about 4-5 hours of caching those were done and dusted we moved south to the outer Northwest of Melbourne to meet up with Blacklegend for dinner and to start the TDC run. By the end of the night I had picked up 46 or so caches for the day and I was ready to head home to bed.

This cache was a bit of a driveby. We parked close to GZ and found the cache in the first place we looked. Thanks.

TNLN, CSI=2, thanks Box Hunters.

On this morning's bike ride up this way, I decided that I wouldn't try for any cache that wasn't right on the track. Well, this one fitted the bill perfectly and I soon had the stash in hand at 11:20.

TNLNSL. Thanks Box Hunters.
 
29-Apr-12
The only real problem here was finding an access point as I wasn't prepared to park on that busy road. Once that was sorted the cache was a quick find, thanks Box Hunters.
 
23-Apr-12
Found on my first Geocaching adventure with -nirgal-

We had a good walk down the hill, and I waited in a safe spot while -nirgal- got the box. We just made it back to the car before the next rainstorm.
 
23-Apr-12
Fourth for the day. The weather worked against us having a longer walk, but we saw Westmeadows as never before. Thanks for the adventure, Box Hunters. Keep up the good work.

I have been meaning to come here for a while now.
I had to drop featherdown off at the airport so a short diversion here was in order.
Nice easy find today
Thanks Box Hunters

some difficulty involved to find this cache

Being local to here I had a fair idea where this cache might be before I arrived. Yep - lucky - I walked right to it. Nt much in here so I placed in an eraser in the shape of a Zebra. TFTC.

Found at 8.10pm. Today was a must cache day so after finishing the days activities headed out after tea. Mrs 80 was driving and found a parking spot - Mr80 then made the quick find. Another day on our 366 project finished. TFTC

simple find

It's a box. It's a river. It's a find. No trolls seen.

After parking in a nearby side street, I enjoyed a pleasant wander to GZ. The sun had come out again at this stage, so I was even starting to get a little hot. Thanks for the cache.
 
03-Mar-12
It was really coming down by this stage. A great spot in the dry to open the box and log the cache. The black gutter was really pump'n.

Thanks to Box Hunters and clear skies from TeamAstro.

A nice quick find. Came with the added entertainment of a tree getting felled nearby. These blokes have the ultimate wood chipper that is just eating whole logs.
Thanks for the cache. Took a gold coin and left a screw connector. Smile27/02/12 1:38 PM Find #126

Nabbed with SolDeLune and Mrs. Winglen on a weekend spree that took in 120+ caches.
Quick grab and off to the airport and a few pre-flight drinks in the Qantas Club.

Thanks Box Hunters for the cache.
 
26-Feb-12
Our final find as our weekend of caching was coming to an end, and we were heading towards the airport. Thanks Box Hunters for this cache, and a big thank you to Zsazsa7 and Sol de Lune for your sense of humour, perseverance and excellent company over the last three days. It was a fun weekend, despite the intense heat.
 
26-Feb-12
A quick drive by to finish our weekend caching the Woodlands Reserve and this area of Melbourne. A hot weekend but a good weekend al the same. Thanks to winglen and Zsazsa7 for the fun and for putting up with me.

Thanks to Box Hunters for this, our last cache of 120 odd.

Another legendary night caching run with my best mate Marty (Quasar3671). It was a big night too starting in Ivanhoe through Doncaster, down to Clayton, across to Beaumaris, up through Ormond, Prahran and the city, Flemington, Pascoe Vale onto Airport West, Melbourne Airport and back through Broadmeadows before getting back to our accomodation at 6:00 am for a well deserved UDL or two and a few hours sleep. We completed our list of 30, and added a few more bring it to a total of 32 for the night.

Had to wait for some muggle teenagers who got picked up in a car, to leave the area. Last find for the night and off for our UDL's now. TFTC. Another great night.
 
23-Feb-12
I headed out tonight to meet up with my best mate Marshy (Blacklegend) for another of our huge night caching runs. I had the list of caches we could do all ready to go and I was pretty dubious in thinking we'd complete the list as we hadn't completed a list for quite a while. As it turned out the weather was perfect and quite warm for the whole night and the night run went almost perfectly with only one DNF (a cache which now seems is MIA).
More importantly we actually completed the list and some; with a total of 32 finds for the night. With so many new caches around we had plenty to choose from. It was a big night too starting in Ivanhoe through Doncaster, down to Clayton, across to Beaumaris, up through Ormond, Prahran and the city, Flemington, Pascoe Vale onto Airport West, Melbourne Airport and back through Broadmeadows before getting back to our accomodation at 6:00 am for a well deserved UDL and a few hours sleep. Man we were knackered.
Our last find for the night and once we found the best place to park, it didn't take too long to get to GZ and located the cache. Traffic was starting to build for the early morning rush hour so we had finished at the perfect time and managed to get back to Ivanhoe in about 20 minutes.
Thanks for the cache Box Hunters.

Quick find when I had an hour to spare. Thank you.
 
19-Feb-12
Went and found a few caches in the area today. My sister lives in the area and i often walk her dog and the kids around this neighbourhood. This one was a little further than we would normally go, but was worth it any how. How manytimes have I driven past the place and thought to myself "what a good place to hide a cache" and now someone has!!! TFTC

We were a bit hesitant about sharing the roadway but all went well! The cache revealed itself quite readily; and our name was added to the log.

Spladem and C@H picked me up late in CBD and drove like a "german" for FTF. Wink I had GPSr and torch with me but I swear without any of the default GC equipment this day would have been the same successful as it was as both guys are prepared for 3. Many thanks for 2 x FTF, the ride and the tea - with milk, they really know how to end these days!
 
27-Jan-12
*FTF* I had spent the day with Spladem and already parted ways for the day. Some new caches turned up and I wanted to give a shot at a FTF. A call to spladem and he was keen to join in. I had been in touch with CarryFlag, a cacher from Germany who is in Australia for some work, we where going to try to do "Watery Transit" together. After a few messages back and forth we had a plan to meet up in the CBD. Soon we where 3 up in the car, with Mega Size Slurpee for everyone. A rather quick drive out where CarryFlag said I drive like a German. We parked not far from GZ and made a quick walk down to the cache for our first FTF for the night. TFTC
 
27-Jan-12
I met up with C@H, he'd been in contact with CarryFlag, we arranged to meet in the city. We then headed out here and arrived quite a few hours after publication.. somehow, we still found a blank logbook, thanks locals, and thanks Box hunters.. joint *FTF*
