Legends of the Game. Sunbury, Victoria, Australia
By Team Ladava on 19-Feb-12. Waypoint GC3CW1D

The final location has been destroyed during the redevelopment so I have no choice but to archive it

Update The published anticipated completion date is late 2024

Looks like the final for this one could be inaccessible for some considerable time as it is behind the barriers while they build a multi level car park.

Think its behind a temporary barrier?

Found by Mary and David at 16:25. Somehow, D had copied down the wrong numbers so, after ages looking in the wrong place, and M was getting cold, we resorted to a PAF. With our error identified, we relocated a short distance away and quickly found a now-familiar kind of Ladava hide. No muggles about at this time of the day. A FP for the cache and because our son now works for Cricked Australia in their IT group. Haven't seen you both for ages - we have so enjoyed our afternoon in Sunbury. Our thanks to Team Ladava.

TNLN BECAUSE I DIDNT FIND IT

A spot of caching with RoamingHowie over this side of town - as long as the rain holds off.

We were passing gz, so RH stopped here so I could add my name to the logbook, as he’d found it on a previous occasion. We then headed to posted coords so I could grab the info required to solve. Clever hide!

Thanks for bringing us here by placing this cache, Team Ladava
~~

In town with Rebel Acts to put some smiles on the map, haven’t been to Sunbury in years.

I’m sure there was a point some time ago when I had all the caches around here, but it’s great to see so many new ones out.

Had a great day with heaps of laughter and caching fun, cheers for the cache

Out and about with My good caching mate Omegaman1971, there are always plenty of laughs while we are turning caches into smiles. We decided to head over to Sunbury to do the new Adventure tabs and a few caches in the area. It’s hard to believe the last time I was here was in 2014 some eight years ago and it must be thirteen years ago that I saw Team Ladava when they came to Warburton to help set up a cache for me, that cache is still in play.

This is one of the caches found today. When I first read the name of the cache I was sure we would end up at a cricket oval, I was a little surprised at GZ where another nice hide was soon found.

Thanks Team Ladava for the cache.

After taking the GeoSister / Sister - in - law to Sunbury train station to catch the train back to Bendigo we were advised there were no trains running from here to Bendigo today, she would have to make her way to Gisborne. GeoSister / Sister - in - law could either take a bus or we could drive her and the latter was decided on. However, before we headed off we decided to complete this multi which we had obtained the clues to when we picked the GeoSister / Sister - in - law up here earlier in the week but did not have time to actually locate the cache. Once in the vicinity of GZ and with the help of the hint we were able to make a quick find. The area was pretty deserted this afternoon. TFTC.

The Whittlesea Mega has been on and off for a long time due to that rotten COVID-19. The sad part is that due to MND I really think this could be my last Mega but I am in the area for a week thanks to my two great SA friends who travelled from SA visiting Ballarat for a couple of days and then moved down to Geelong only to pick me up and we are staying in Craigieburn for a week and then they are taking me back to Geelong. It’s generosity like that Geocaching folk are renowned for, plus all the help that I have received in the past few days which I will be forever grateful.
This guy was found , signed on the 22nd Novmber with my two SA friends who are looking after the ageing Bushfire. Thanks for placing Team Ladava.

Definitely legends of the game!
Quick solve, then off to GZ for a quick find. Lost count if how many found of these today! lol

Thanks

Did not find

I was up in Romsey finishing off some work that I had started recently at one of my kids place’s.
(They have only been waiting since June last year)
So after that I had a couple of hours to spare before I had to get home so I thought that I would finally make a start on some more caches around Sunbury especially a couple of the newer ones.
After a couple of Ad Lab stages and a couple of trads I came across this multi in the Main Street.
It has been quiet a while since I have found a Team Ladava cache and they were always fun to find.
I have not noticed these Busts and clock before but people often say I walk around with my eyes closed.
I soon did the maths and came up with a reasonable set of coords and off I went.
Came across a cache type of theirs that I found a few times before.

Thanks Team Ladava TFTC.

Out and about with Echidna44, this was the second Sunbury cache we tackled. We worked out the numbers needed and headed off to GZ, where the clever cache was found. I love these very doable multis.

We had a day in the Sunbury area caching and lunching with BoabTree and muggle husbands.
These are great sculptures that we would not have seen without the cache. A fabulous hide, thanks Team Ladava.

Whittlesea Event trip. Day 9. Caching today with bushfire and brisal5.

A quick and easy park and grab.

I found your D1.5/T1.5 Micro Multi-Cache called Legends of the Game. at 14:24 on 22 November 2022. It was find #16446 for me. Thank you Team Ladava for placing this cache for our enjoyment in the wonderful state of Victoria.

Whittlesea Mega Wobble and Wade Tour: Day 9: We went to Sunbury for the afternoon

Once again myself and Anymules were in Victoria on our way to a Mega event. We made a detour via Geelong and picked up Bushfire. It had been three years since we last all cached together. [^] Today we set out for Sunbury for the afternoon with a pub meal at the local pub. Many caches were found and unless something stood out these will be generic logs.

***Thanks Team Ladava for putting out this cache and maintaining it for our enjoyment. ***
Logs prepared and published through GSAK.

Did the maths and found the cache.

November 2022. Time for the second Victorian Mega of the year. This time in Whittlesea. What is it with W's? Time for another epic road trip. Who will join our merry crew? We traveled from South Australia and camped in the pig pen. It rained. It blew. It was sunny. It was not sunny. All four seasons. Beautiful location and some awesome caches.

Warning, this hobby can be addictive. It can lead to exercise, meeting new people and finding interesting places you might not have known existed otherwise. Beware: you may have fun.

Thanks for the cache. Merci la cache. Danke für den Cache. Gracias por el caché. Bedankt voor de cache. Kiitos kätköstä. Zikomo posungira. Terima kasih untuk cache. Hvala cache. Köszönöm a cache. Nga mihi mo te keteroki. Dankie vir die kas.

An interesting multi here today, learnt a thing or two at the posted before a short walk was had and a quick find once at GZ

After the mega in Whittlesea over the past few days, e.gregory1, freddo and I headed home on a roundabout route via Bendigo and St arnaud to collect a few caches on the way.

Thanks for the cache

Nothing like a little multi to get your day started. A nice quick find in an empty car park. Thanks for the hide.

Tftc, multi #3 for the day. Good to finally tick it off after solving coordinates earlier in the month during a short break at work, but being unable to get to GZ until today. Hardest thing today was waiting for muggles to look away while returning it after stamping in my geomobile.

Nice quick find for us today! No muggles when we grabbed cache, one came just after we grabbed it. Watched ABC tiktok version while we waited them out!

Frog

Busy area very hard not to look suspiciously Cache and log great condition

Lovely little multi!! Cheers

Nice spot

Fun find! The statues and clock were great to visit.

Gathered the data and felt sure I was in the right spot but it eluded me. Another time perhaps. Thanks anyway

I couldn't find it anywhere

Even with the temporary fencing, it's still accessible. Thanks

Thanks for the history. Great to have some info to go along with the cache

TFTC and some sport history. It’s pretty quiet here today.

Used to get stuck on this as a kid years ago,

Ended up finding right away! Must have had the wrong coords.

#6

Had to jump quickly to get this one due to the works going on...bit if a laugh. What great statue...thank you

Log Sheet replaced

Solved this multi a while ago for the final location, just needed a quiet time to hunt for it! Very clever hide.
Thanks for the fun cache on Mothers Day.

This geocacher reported that the logbook is full.

Out and about with 80 degrees clearing out some in the north. Got an easy park and had a short walk. Very impressive memories of our excellent sportsmen. Picked up the clues and moved on. Having done a few the Team Ladava's now we knew what to look for. This is a very well maintained excellent cemetery. Its so nice to see. This is another excellent well made constructed hide. Thanks for all the excellent work you have done in the name of the game Team Ladava

Out and about for a ladies day with xambo4u checking out caches in and around Sunbury. Another great multi taking us to an interesting but busy place. Cache found found a corner to sign on a full log. TFTC. A favoutie

Log Full

Great location (the starting point) and soon located clever cache. T4TC

Cant find

My first multicache. I finally learnt about waypoints and how to input coordinates into this app and this was an easy first multichache find thankyou.
The log book is full though

TFTC! Had to do a bit of shopping and perfect spot to comeback to!

Could not find. Think it’s been removed or stolen

Spiffy- and I decided a few multi caches were in order for today plus a few other random caches. The forecast was for lots of rain, but we managed to stay dry.

This was a another multi that we made a quick find on. The hides are clever.

Thanks to Team Ladava for the placement and fun.

Found at 12:31 pm.
Fleabag- and I had a few hours today and thought we would slowly start working our way towards a couple of different multi cache challenges plus a few other random caches. Forecast was for showers but we managed to avoid them the whole time which was brilliant.
After trying to avoid the lovely lady across the road praising us for out social distancing we thankfully gathered the clues quickly and moved on. Made the find nice and easily at GZ.
Thanks Team Ladava for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

Luck was on my side tonight as the area around GZ was deserted enabling me to search unhindered. I had the cache in hand quite quickly. Thanks for the multi Team Ladava, I did the research on an earlier trip.

After completing a trail nearby we stopped in for ice cream and finished off a few caches in town.... nice quick multi. TFTC

Thanks for a quick find after ice cream

Arrived in to Melbourne today to get to St Arnaud by tomorrow. Stopped here for lunch and saw this cache nearby. A quick multi and took us back to our car. Bonus! Great cache, very clever! Fav point from me.

Found on 14 November 2019 1pm. TFTC, Team Ladava.

Just passing through on our way to the Mega Event and found this beaut multi with patrol14.

TFTC Team Ladava and a favorite point from me, very well done indeed.

Found November 14, 2019

It’s been rather a multi kinda day for me today...this was another where stealth skills were needed. It’s amazing how interested in surrounding trees I can seem.
Tftc Team Ladava

After a recent DNF decided one more cache was in order. Quickly worked out the location and headed there to find the cache. Grabbing caches at 10:30 PM has it's advantages, no muggles in sight!

Once I reached GZ i thought i was going to be in from some trouble locating a micro, but having recently found another Team Ladava cache, i knew what I was looking it!

Thanks for a nice evening stroll around Sunbury!

Found 27/10/19 10:30 PM
Find 184

TFTC.

Today I decided that I would head towards Sunbury as for some reason I haven't cached there yet. A quick info grab leading to a quick cache grab. TFTC.

Found it finally! Carefull coming here at night because people like to look for old cigs apparently at night time.. and alot of pso's hanging around so must be carefull of mugglers but easy find and thank you

A simple puzzle and a nice easy find after I waited out the muggles in cars. Thanks

Today we were on one of our travel all over the place chasing smileys with Ausfox; and Neville_devil. We were particularly after higher favourite point caches for the current souvenirs but were also grabbing anything in our path as we were heading to our target caches.
Hunger had gotten the better of us by this time of the night so we stopped for some dinner. A short walk away just happened to be the start of this multi so the details we noted and gz discovered.
Thank you Team Ladava for the multi

Out for the day with Simsfamily and Neville Devil to cache around Pykes creek, Melton and Sunbury areas. The weather wasn't the best but it didn't dampen our enthusiasm.
After stopping to buy dinner we grabbed the nearby information and made our way to GZ to make a quick find.
Log signed and replaced as found

Thanks for the cache Team Ladava
#4,740

Nice find

Today was my last in Victoria before catching the ferry to Tasmania to visit family and friends for a couple of weeks.

Most of the day was spent finding caches in as many of the LGAs in and around Melbourne as I could. I mainly focussed on puzzles and challenge caches, but also grabbed a few traditionals, multis and a letterbox where I could or It worked better.

I thought that this was a nice little multi. And a good hide too.

Thanks Team Ladava for the cache.

Tftc

Yay found with the gf after camping trip

Headed to Sunbury today, my birthplace and old hometown, for some 'memory lane' caching with the Geomutt Bentley. Went back to some memorable spots, found a stack of caches, and had lunch with my Nan. A great day out overall. Not to mention cranking JJJ hottest 100!

And so that is the history of the Ashes...I'm not a cricket fan but did find that interesting!

I love your multi's also...can they all please be this simple? No long convoluted maths? Easy find once had come across a few of these now

A nice quick, unambiguous multi thatgave us a look at an interesting clock tower. Thanks for the hide and highlighting these sculptures for us.

In Sunbury to visit a friend, went for a nice stroll to pick up some caches beforehand. TFTC!

It's a bright sunshiny type day; what better sort of a day to go caching and caching a moderate distance from home!
A lovely concentration of multis in this township attracted me and this was the first.
Great hide here, worth a FP.

Nice hide .. thank u

Tftc

Solved this one some time ago.
Quick find at GZ with not too many muggles around.
TFTC Team Ladava and history of the area.
Cache in good condition

**Find #1594**

Grabbing a few caches in Sunbury today and this was a great little Multi. Fantastic Tribute to the Ashes and some Legends. A quick Find. Really enjoyed this cache.

Thanks **Team Ladava**

TFTC.

Thanks for ashes lesson and information. Loved the work put into the hide also. We'll done.

After flying over from NZ this morning I had a few hours to spare before I had to head off in the direction of work. I decided to head from the Airport in the direction of Sunbury to find a few caches. Nice one! A nice quick multi no problem working out the numbers or finding the cache. I wonder what these old masters would think of the T20 version of the game - just not cricket I guess. I attended my first T20 match in Nelson, NZ a week or so back. TFTC, Biggles.

The coords were quickly found and the cache was obvious after a cache I found earlier in the day.
Tftc

Another multi. Love Team Ladava. TFTC

11:41
Caching around Sunbury, ticked all the boxes for a great day out. Trads, multis and mysterys, all with high quality, well maintained hides - the perfect place if you wanted to introduce a new player to the game. Informative cache pages, gave us insight into the history and quirky tales of the area.
Sunbury has a sporting history more impressive than most people realise.
Another of many favourite points awarded around Sunbury today!

Thanks Team Ladava for placing caches for everyone's enjoyment.

Loves your caches everywhere.
Very neat and good condition
Interested to read the information
fav from me
Thanks Team Ladava

Beautiful weather to visit Sunbury with crank1 for the caching day. Very interesting the memories of famous cricketers. Easy solve with multi. Easy and found. Thanks Team Ladava for the multi cache.

Nice one.

Find number 6185 at 8:14:32 am
On the way to work in Sunbury for the day and I left home early so I might have a little time to grab a cache or two.
Neat little multi in the main street, excellent...
**Thanks for placing this cache Team Ladava**

[**THE ALEXANDRA EVENT 2017**](http://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC6GFDX)
*18th & 19th November 2017 - GC6GFDX - Alexandra - Victoria*

Headed over the border with Purrfect Di, Sebastbat, Jack and muggle Alex.
Found the interesting shaped clock and familiar faces, chose some numbers,
and headed for GZ. A now familiar cache awaited us there. Easy by night with few muggles around.
TFTC Team Ladava

Down in Sunbury for a trip to the supermarket, we thought we would make the most of the nice weather and grab a few caches, as blue skies and sun can be a little rare at this time of year.

We headed here from the old water towers multi, which gave us a nice little loop through this side of the Sunbury CBD. It was a fitting time to complete this cache also, as it is less than 8 hours ago that the poms knocked us out of the ICC Champions Trophy. Little do they know that this is all part of Australia's plan, lulling them into a false sense of security before coming out and pummelling them in the 2017-18 ashes series!

At GZ we were met with a familiar MO, which led to a nice quick find, with just enough privacy to evade the muggles who were out in droves on this fine Sunday morning.

TFTC Team Ladava!

I love the Ashes. I could sit down and very easily watch every ball of an Ashes series. So to be able to combine 2 of my favorite things was great. Kids had the numbers quickly and after a short walk had the cache in hand. TFTC

Today I came to Sunbury to see a friend and I had a bit of time to burn so I did some caching after a good feed at Royal Hotel. TFTC

Cool hide. Tftc

Got the brain working! Located the cache - wasnt difficult considering it is a sunday afternoon, however could prove difficult in busier times of the day

Found it!! Was our first multi

Good cache and terrific hiding place

Another one ticked off from Team Ladava.

I love cricket and remember watching Lillee and Marsh ripping apart international teams in the 70s and 80s.

Tonight's caching was purely for the benefit of keeping my run going and it didn't disappoint. Thanks Team Ladava.

### MEGA - The Surf Coast Event 2016 ###

**DAY 8**

I had time before my flight back to Germany so I have visited this cache and watched the planes where I will be in in less than 4 hours.
Nice spot - I will give favourite point

Thank you and best regards from Germany
Team sissifalke

A quick and easy multi as we cache our way through the area today. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.

These are some pretty great tributes to a very important part of Sunbury's history. Cool clock and great sculptures. Info gathered and off to GZ, with a stop in at the bakery on the way
Luckily GZ was pretty quiet so cache accessed, signed and returned without issue. TFTC

I'm visiting Victoria for a wedding and staying nearby.

I managed to solve this multi before leaving home using the resources of the interweb. It was happy dance time when my sister said we were having tea at a nearby establishment.

Come forward to today and I made my excuses to the family - important business to look after. The cache was overlooked on the first pass and found on the second. A very nice hide deserving of a favourite point.

A number of trackables are visiting for the miles.

Thanks for the cache Team Ladava.

Nice one

TFTC. Signed and returned.
Quicker find than the retreval, lucky hubbey was there to help.

Cool. TFTC

Found it
