Well what a day, we had prepared for rain and cooler conditions but apart from a few spots the day was pretty good all round with sunshine most of the time and a cool breeze to remind us that the southerly can be a cooling influence.
We covered a wonderful range of countryside with hills, farmlands, swampy areas and townships.
All up this was a pretty good day for caching.

Thanks to Sirillion for this hide, We signed one of the piece of paper in the cache as the log seems to have gone missing. The CO will need to pop a new logbook in here soon.

###**CACHE OWNER ACTION REQUIRED**###

----------

Based on a number of logs, it would seem there is no log book in the cache, therefore it is not Guideline-compliant.

As a result it has been disabled.

**Please respond to this situation by **31st October** to prevent the cache from being de-listed for non-response. If you require more time, please be sure to post a "Write Note" log (not an email) explaining the situation and indicating a date when you believe the situation will be resolved.**

Once you have addressed the issue, post both an "Owner Maintenance" log, see here; [Removing the Needs Maintenance Icon](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) and an "Enable Listing" log, see here; [Temporarily Disable and Enable](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ) to get your cache up and running again.

Wow, thanks for the cache and the knowledge, very interesting! Seems to be a lot of similar structures spread throughout the area. Thanks for bringing me here never realised that this park existed out the back of Wonthaggi. No log exists in the cache and didn't have any spare so was unable to sign.
 
01-Jul-21
We headed over to the west of Wonthaggi today to go for a walk amongst the bushland and attempt some caches that had gone unfound by us for some time.
We parked across the road and walked over to our first cache of the day, waiting for just one muggle to walk past before beginning our search.
A likely hiding spot was discovered soon enough and the container was found sitting largely in the open next to it.
There's currently no logbook in the cache, but a few old and weathered supermarket trading cards are present and should do the job at least for the time being, though it would definitely benefit from some TLC.
All was replaced with a bit of extra cover to ensure it stays safe and away from the prying eyes of passersby.
Thanks to Sirillion for placing this cache here! Smile

19 May 2018, Found @12:06 pm, Find # 1536

A planned trip down this way with mazza-g to do Handy in the Night, and cache the rail trail. Arriving mid morning we headed out to grab a few in the immediate area. Spotted this cache on approach as it was very exposed. Cache is now hidden again from view.

Thanks to Sirillion for placing this cache

#820 - Day three of my trip down the coast for some caching fun! Today I decided to attempt some hides from a variety of cachers and not Gonefishen07 exclusively.

After finishing my first walk of the day and collecting 17 finds, it was time to go on my second walk. After parking at the huge wind turbines at the end of Campbell street, I set off and was able to find 21 of the 26 caches that I set off to find.

Thank you to the CO's for the hides, I had a very fun walk with what was once again a wide variety of caches and hides as the sun went down. Tftc

We had a really busy day today with GMelb having an early morning trip to Tullamarine airport to drop off 2 nieces, followed by playing violin at a friend's Church. A quick lunch and we headed down to meet ms-enchantress for some caching followed by having tea with a friend who is down here looking after he Aunty and then driving to Warragul to pick up our son and 2 mates from State Youth Games!! Phew!
The sun was starting to get lower in the sky as we headed towards this cache. GMelb made a quick find and we were on our way

[font=Comic Sans MS][Green]I'm heading eastwards on a day caching in and around Wonthaggi with Square_Pegs after leaving Melbourne early this morning before sunrise. Later on, I got the opportunity to find this cache in good condition and with spot on co-ordinates. I like the history lesson given in the cache description and this is a good first hide - well done.

It's been too long since my last visit. Thanks Sirillion for making this an enjoyable day exploring Smile

This was a nice quick find and with the log signed, we popped it safely back into its hiding spot.

We were on a weekend visiting our grandson for his 3rd birthday and then followed by a geo event in Wonthaggi; Following the event, we headed off to grab a few of the multitude of Wonthaggi caches and this was one. The sun peeped out as we did this one and a welcome sight. Nicely hidden
