This cache has had a fantastic run.

My husband enjoyed making it, and we enjoyed people's comments over it.

Goodbye tardis, maybe we will meet again. Only time will tell.

Needs repairs

Thanks for letting me know.
Iii fix it up soon. [:x]
 
14-Jul-13
Quick find on a quiet day here. A bit of maintenance work on the Tardis might help its stability (someone may have tried a bit hard to make the Tardis move)
This one has been on my radar for a while, just needed the opportunity and the TIME to travel here!

On the way home we decided to snap this little beauty up - quick find in a muggle free afternoon. Neat little container and well hidden.

Many thx to the CO for the hide

Nice easy find with spiffy, felt a little exposed to the neighbours though. Nice cache container i love dr who, TFTC.

Out with Happy Pants today just freestyle caching. We wandered across the deserted park for a nice easy find. TFTC.
 
28-Feb-13
There was a work lunch nearby at the pub so I had to get this one on the way back to the office.
Lots of woodchips still waiting to be spread out. Lovely cache container
Thanks
 
24-Feb-13
Found with Erin-Rose on a very warm day, nice little hide, took nothing left hair ties, looks like wood chips will be laid out soon, may get covered. TFTC
 
24-Feb-13
Tftc! Love this one. There is a wood chips sitting near by, looks like they are going to be speed out. May get discovered.

Bit of time before Pilates class and noticed how close this was plus so many fab points, couldn't resist!

Nice easy find, TFTC

The huntsman is still there, it didn't look happy to be disturbed. A quick find. Donated a pencil for future loggers. TFTC.
 
31-Jan-13
A great looking box. Has a rather fat looking Huntsman spider living inside, but he wasn't bothered by me, so I wasn't bothered by him
 
30-Jan-13
I have had my eye on this cache for a little while now because (a) the description hints at something very clever and (b) it has lots of Favourite points so it must be something special. I parked in Lawford Street (there are a few "non Permit" spaces at the very end adjacent the park) and set off towards GZ. On arrival, I dived into the bush and started looking around. After a little while, I found it...quite unmistakable. You are right to be proud of this cache, it is a fantastic idea, excellently executed.

Thanks to I love Dr Who for this cache. I will definitely give you a Favourite point one day...it is just that you are fifth on my list for one which means I have find another 50 caches. I guess I will just have to stop going after obviously interesting caches for a while...oh, how boring!
 
27-Jan-13
I've only seen the odd clip of Dr Who, I tried to watch the pilot episode with the newest Doctor (you fans probably know his name off by heart), some bugs attacked a hospital in the end, eh I think it was some weird kind of British sci-fi and I couldn't get into it.

The coolest thing about Dr Who that I really know is a sample that James Zabiela dropped in one of his Essential Mixes from back in 2003 or so, yeah nobody will understand that reference, sorry I will go now.
 
20-Jan-13
Long, long time ago these items featured on television in the worst possible production. Simular repetetive stories in black and white, poor camera angles and terrible and I really mean terrible sound quality. As an early addict to TV this was something to be avoided.
Now B2 loves all this stuff and B1 can now understand why. Recent viewings have shown high quality stuff.
Like this tresure the future is in good hands.
Well done in improving B1 image of it all.

Love the cache container! Favourite point from me certainly.

I was in the area for lunch when I decided to check out some local quick caches before heading home.
Easy find with no muggles around. TNLN. SL.
Thanks for a cute cache.

We loved the cache!!! Big Grin easy find but had to wait for several muggles to pass by.
 
01-Jan-13
Decided on a bit of New Years Caching today so gave our good caching buddies the Earthbound's a holler and we were soon on our way. Cache was a nice quick find for us today and not much of a walk either. TFTC...SL....TNLN

Had just had a visit to Middle Earth after seeing The Hobbit at Doncaster so thought we might be able to manage a bit more time travel by visiting this cache......... sadly it didn't work for us but never mind, we signed the log and returned happily to what is left of 2012.

Found this on my run to a friends house... a very good looking cache!.. TFTC!

Found at 10.55pm by Mrs80. Today had to take Dad to day surgery nearby and then wait to take him home so what better way to spend the time than by checking out a couple of nearby caches. Parked close by and took a short walk to GZ where I made a quick find and signed log. TFTC i love dr who
 
25-Nov-12
I love this container and will have to go find the rest of your caches in the series.
 
22-Nov-12
Rode past here tonight on the way to dinner with friends. There were a few people in the park but they didn't take any notice as I disappeared from view. A very impressive cache container, obviously put together with skill and passion!

Fantastic - thanks ILDW !
 
20-Nov-12
Find # 405 logged at GZ at 3:52pm, place deserted so an easy find. Popped up on my Tomtom while driving into area, so of course made time to stop. T4TC I_love_dr_who! A fave.

Found this one in the early hours of this morning (but after midnight so it counts as today!). It was a relatively easy find apart from the neighbouring dog who heard me and started barking. Then after that someone came out and told him to be quiet - which managed to scare the living daylights out of me. I can cope with dogs but humans at that time! So I stopped hunting until my heart rate settled down. I think the dog got put inside after it was thought to be barking at nothing in particular. I knew it was barking at me! Anyway found the cache. The camouflage seems to have gone but the cache is safe and secure - the log book seemed a little damp (not sure if that is because it was night time or if the container is not totally watertight). Took nothing, left nothing and signed log and went on my way away from barking dogs!!

Thanks for the very inventive cache i love dr who.
 
21-Oct-12
This was a quick find. The cache wasn't covered, but secure and with content intact. Great idea! TFTC
 
16-Oct-12
Found the TARDIS in the open not covered by bark or anything, and with the log book and plastic bag/pen on the ground nearby. Put it all back together and signed the log at 5:55pm. Then headed off to a cricket meeting nearby. May need a visit from the owner to cover it up as intended.

CamBendy and I managed a night of from our familial duties so we could "get a few". This was one of 23 for the night. We did a few ILDW caches tonight and given what we had found so far we were looking forward to this one. Sure enough... Great container and worth a fav. TFTC.

We found this cache today at 12:00pm as the 6th of 10 on a Sunday Lunchtime wander. Always like to find a Tardis. I have a Tardis can at home that contains the video tape set with Sylvester McCoy as the doctor in the Trial of a Time Lord series. The two companions were Peri then Mel and ABC decided that they were not going to show that series on TV so this was the only way to watch it. A few years ago, ABC did screen in order all of the available episodes in order from William Hartnell onwards and I was interested to see that they did finally screen them this time around. Onto the cache find, and it is interesting to note that the only other cache that we have found in this park was called "Studley Cache and Wi-Fi Hotspot" and we found it way back in 2006. Spookily, it was also on a Sunday afternoon and is was also the 6th of 10 cache finds. Is there a time machine around here somewhere? Thanks from D, HA, H & A B-A.
 
19-Aug-12
This cache container is definitely a favourite, it is absolutely fantastic!!
After finding a place that I was permitted to park, I wandered along to the empty reserve and up to GZ. The cache was found quickly and I was truly impressed by the construction. Thanks for a cache that is certainly unique.
 
17-Aug-12
Very different cache, nicely hidden. Thanks i love dr who.
 
13-Aug-12
First find with new GPSr. Fantastic container and a nice location, if rather muddy.
You don't seem to be having much luck with this bag, had a small hole from the pen when I found it today but contents were dry and unharmed. I tried to wrap it up the best I could.
Thanks
 
22-Jul-12
i have fixed it up. with a new log book and bag.[:x]

Cool cache container, a lovely way to finish off a night of caching. Log is a bit damp though, will need replacing soon. Still managed to sign it though. TFTC.

After a meeting with the who-ster herself at one of her other caches we heard that this was the one to find! So find we did! Well worth the hunt! found at 4.30 this arvo. fav point from us!

What a well set up park and actual houses around instead of units - love the cache also.
 
04-Jul-12
Found with nirgalagrin... now I have my own account.



16:47

After spending the last couple of days cleaning the house, it was time to go out and play. Geodaughter got some good navigation practice while I played chauffer.



Now the hard part... where to cache? Over the Chandler bridge, then head east, looked like a plan.



Intrigued by the description of this one, we couldn't resist... and it was well worth it. Geodaughter couldn't wait to show her mother a photo of our last cache for the day.

Thanks I love Dr who

Pulled up at this one to see two guys sitting in a van at the end of the road. Hmmm what are they up to?? So we sat for a little while, and they were proabably wondering what two grils were doing just pulling up and sitting in a car! Ali felt a sense of deja vu as the same thing happened when she first came to find this one! What is with this place??
Eventually we got out for a brief walk through the park to find this inventive cache. It is a little damp after the recent rains! If it wasn't so dark I would have taken a photo!!

Out on a night caching run with waffle eggs, this was the fourth for me for the nght.

Found at 1235 Quick Easy find - Although I dont really like finding caches hidden near playgrounds and this close to houses!!

On saying that I loved the effort gone into this cache

This was a great break after an energetic morning of fun!!!

I'm a Doctor Who fan, since the '70s so I appreciate your effort on this one - but creeping behind the bushes near a kids playground totally puts me off. I won't be back to this one. TFTC, please relocate!!!

We were on the way past and dropped in for a play and a cache. The geokids played while we waited for a break in the dog walking muggles, then we ducked into gz for a quick find. TNLN although I replaced the torn bag. Thanks ilovedrwho for the cache. A very cool container.

Had to get my car serviced so I caught the bus back here and walked in to the cache. Though a long-time science fiction reader I've only just started watching Doctor Who, the 2005 series at the moment. Nice cache container, but I tried to fit a large book in there and couldn't manage it Sad Thanks for the cache.

How to celebrate cache #50? 'Who' knows? Yes, that's it. Lets do my 3rd ilovedrwho cache, T.A.R.D.I.S. Big Grin I heard about this one at the 3rd Leap event. Amazing container and much bigger than I expected from the description. This find is a lot more enjoyable than the usual sistema containers and a lot of hard work has gone into it but I guess most cachers don't have the time to create such an intricate container from scratch. I didn't know this beautiful park existed even though I only live a couple of km down the road. Caching is all about discovery. I intend bringing my beagles back here as it's an off-lead park.

A Sydney Koala GC (that originated in Germany) had a visit to mark the occasion - see the photo of its experience on the Tardis!. Dropped off Q1-10Dollars TB to continue visiting caches around Australia. Took Danish Nomad GC and will help it with its goal of visiting as many Australian traditional caches as possible. Great Danish-Aussie connection. TFTC ilovedrwho and for another amazing geocaching experience. Definitely a Favourite from me. [^]

Well we had to grab a cache today and with MMelb (geo-teen) coming along it just HAD to be this one!! MMelb - huge Dr Who fan - thought it was VERY VERY cool!!!
It is very well done and we were all very impressed. TN Left GC and coral pen swap. We are currently out of Fave points but will add one in a couple of weeks time (once we have done some of the Woodlands series and get some more points!)

Down from the country and staying at my brother-in-laws place not far from here. I had an hour to kill before dinner, so nicked off to grab a few caches. After seeing this in the search results it was stop #1. Excellent container! TFTC!

#800. We have a couple of these at home courtesy of the Dr Who fans in the house but they make a noise when you open the door. Fantastic construction. Loved it. Thanks ilovedrwho.

Josiey and I synced up our finds so that we could get our 800 th find together. It needed a good cache too so we headed to this beautiful construction to make it worthwhile.
 
04-Mar-12
Fantastic cache loved the container. Nice park too-live close by but didn't no it existed. Thanks

A quick cache hunt while the geogirls shopped. A fairly quick find in a park I'd never visited, although not far from where we get our car serviced quite often.

Thanks iloveddrwho- Great container.

9.30am Filling in my Friday, I checked out this one closest to me. Been to this park before but had to walk the other way. Meet a lovely puppy walker and heard all about the medical history of the poor pooch. Nice easy find, loved the container. I may find prudent to put a weather proof container in side the novelty hide.
Love this park, thanks for bringing me here (again)

01/03/2012 21:44 This was a cache that I have heard quite a bit about so I decided to go collect it tonight. I arrived at the suggested parking location and grabbed my bag for the walk. I only realised as I was walking that I hadn't got my torch out of the bag yet but decided that as the park is manicured I might as well just keep going. This was a lucky decision as I arrived on the path near GZ I could clearly see someone working at an open window with a clear view across the park and that would have included me if I was tardy. I did grab the torch an made my way "in" keeping the light low. A few seconds later I was at GZ and uncovering an excellent cache container. It's always good to see someone go that extra mile and it does of course suit the cahe title. Well done!! TFTC ilovedrwho TNLN SL

Love the Tardis. I had a struggle with a gorilla to get it into the Tardis. Thanks ilovedrwho.
 
28-Feb-12
Another day another geocache needed. This time I decided to head out to Doncaster and tackle this recent hide. Traffic OK, parking not a problem apart from bad potholes along the edge. The park was pleasantly devoid of muggle lifeforms so I had an easy time of it Smile The TARDIS chameleon circuit has been flitting a bit as it was attempting to be leaf needles and plastic (partly covered). Cute container Smile Inside I discovered a wayward gorilla so I've grabbed him to move along. Thanks for an interesting little cache perfect for my daily smilie. Smile
 
26-Feb-12
I was getting 'hurry up and get my cache dammit' sounds from ilovedrwho, so after a trip to the beach on this warm (and windy!) day, I ventured out for a hardware, supermarket and cache stop (in that order Smile)

Approaching GZ I knew the general area from, ironically, many trips to the nearby pub with ilovedrwho and family, but the park was unknown to me completely. An interesting area - Would be quite a remarkable place to live - Park at your backdoor, and no need to fight for a carpark at Westfield!!

Very quiet today in the heat so I was left alone to search and soon turned up the remarkable cache container. Truly unique (at least as far as I know...). Credit to Mr Ilovedrwho for the handiwork - He's right to be proud of it Cool

Funnily enough I saw my first EVER episode of Dr Who on the flight home the other week.... "The Pandorica Opens"... Maybe not the best episode for a newbie, but I certainly appreciated it's rather quirky appeal!

TFTC...

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.

Cool cache, as a Dr Who fan, I loved the hide. Fav point for this one. TFTC.
 
22-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.
After parking at the end of the street we had a nice short stroll to GZ. It wasn't long before we found what we were looking for. The Doctor would be proud. A favourite for me because of the container.
Thanks ilovedrwho.
 
22-Feb-12
I saw this one pop up the other day and decided to leave the cache for a more peaceful day. On my way home I decided to pick it up. There was not a muggle in sight so the search was quick and easy. Nice cache container, very impressive. I hope it lasts because reproducing it would take time. Thanks ilovedrwho
