4 DNF's means the cache is probably gone, can the owner check it out or archive it, if they have lost interest.

Definitly gone.

With 3 recent DNF and the cache hide location no longer suitable, it would be useful if the CO can check to confirm if the cache is still there and/or replace it as required.

I found myself wishing that I had refreshed the saved caches in my iPhone before coming here. The log where the cache was located has now succumbed to time and the weather and has fallen apart. I think that if the cache was still there, one of the last three cachers would have found it. I hope the CO will check it, but looking at some of his other caches, he seems to have lost interest which is a pity.

Visited here on a nice sunny summer afternoon, however after a good look around - especially in the obvious location according to the hint - did not find the cache. This one might be missing.

Had a good look around today, found the likely spot, could not find anything, PAF, still no luck, maybe MIA

Thanks to insomiacdream for the awesome geocache hunt you. We did a great job!

Found after an unsuccessful look for hi pressures dickie st cache... T travel bug, L duckie.

Found it. Thought we would grab a couple of caches while scouting around Pakenham. This is a nice little hide, country enough to be low muggle traffic and an interesting little drive, I love this type of cache.

Quick find thanks for the clue. Tnln Tftn coords a little bit out.

One last cache on the way home today. Found without any problems thanks The PhantOm.

Was 3 months ago when i had muggles next to cache and today looked clear but a local came out of a house and approached me? I gave him a cacheing card and he was pleased to know what cacheing is all about ! The local area has vandal problems so Jim the Russian Muggle was keeping an eye on things.He now knows why cars pull up at strange times looking at logs beside the road!Got the find and headed for home!

dropped goekid and school and decided to sneak in a quick cache before my weekly visit to hospital.
Had to dodge works trucks but managed to go unnoticed.
Thanks.

Found @ 10:45am, find # 1592
I was on my way to another cache and I was passing right by this one so I stopped in the driveway to the scout park and walked back a few metres to GZ where the cache was found quickly.
Thanks to The Phant0m for this cache.

I used to live nearby so it was a nostalga trip as well.

Another caching run for the TDC (The Demolition Crew) with the usual team members myself, TrailRunning and Quasar3671. It was not planned that I would be down this week, as I'm usually down on a fortnightly, but some work commitments meant I would be after all. After a chat with the crew, we decided on hitting an area North of Pakenham. I used to live in Pakenham, so know the area reasonably well, but have not had the chance to cache there yet in earnest.

It turned into another great night, clearing out a bit of the area, with some quality caches on the way, hi_pressure caches featuring quite a bit during the night..... Numbers were not our usual huge hauls, but that didn't matter with the quality being of a great standard for the night.

Nice driveby here, cheers and TFTC.

Workers eating lunch near cache will come back another time .

Originally the TDC had no plans to meet up and cache tonight but as fate would have it thats exactly what we did. With me being able to pull mysself away from another 16 hour shift at work and Blacklegend unexpectedly down from the bush for a night, the only thing that could result from this was another huge night of caching.

We decided to work the Pakenham area and in particular some challenging Hi-pressure caches. We anticipated some long walks and rugged up accordingly as the night was rather fesh. Overall we had a great night with not so great numbers but with some great and rewarding cache finds. Later on TR left our presence and BL and I kept on caching till the wee hours of the morning, collecting a few cache that TR had already found, before we headed our seperate ways.

A nice quick driveby in the darkness of night. Thanks The Phant0m.

I had plans to grab a few caches in the Dandenong Ranges flying solo from the usual TDC (The Demolition Crew) team members Quasar3671 and Blacklegend. It was only in the afternoon when I contacted them both that I realised our usual fortnightly cache run was going to be halved this week. Quasar3671 had an early reprieve from work, and Blacklegend was unexpectedly in town. So now what? The Dandenong’s were shrouded in clouds so we settled on a few hi_pressure caches north of Pakenham that we all needed. Having done a few of hi_pressure multi’s before I knew we were in for a long walk, and I wasn’t disappointed. While the numbers for the night weren’t the usual figures, we did have a great night, and it’s always good to clear out an area on the map and fill it with smilies. At a reasonable hour I left the guys to continue their run as they had a few more to pick up closer to town that I had already done. A quick driveby here. TFTC

Being cooped up the lst few days with lousy weather we thought that we would take the opportunity today to get out and pick up a few local caches that even though they are so close to home we never seem to find time to look for them. We knew this scout camp well as our son stayed here many moons ago during his time with the Upper Beaconsfield Scouts but this was long before geocaching or even GPS's. It was totally different to our previous visits when we were either picking up or dropping off scouts, there was nobody here so we were able to just park in the drive way and then the cache was a nice easy find/.
Thanks The Phant0m for the cache

Had some barking mugglers to deal with!!

After attending dawn service at Pakenham nice quick find on the way home

Another cache found.
Our chuaffur pulled up, I hopped out and a few steps later I had the cache in hand.
Thanks to The Phant0m.

Rushed down with little hope of being FTF, to find the log from the night before inside the book.....

Oh well, proved to be a nice little hide, seeing as I have never headed out this way, but had been meaning to!!

*FTF* I had arranged to catch up with Starruby to do a new night cache in a area. Just as I turned into the street we where parking at I got an alert on my phone to tell me about this cache. I pulled up along side Starruby who was already at his car and said lets go get the new one. We grab his gear and some easter eggs from his car before getting into the truck. We headed down to Officer and made a few wrong turns but eventually had a cache in hand and found a empty log book. Thanks for the night run for a FTF. It was good fun. TFTC

Had headed out for a rendezvous with C@H to do a local night cache, and was waiting at the appointed spot when the alert came through. Hoped that since I knew he was close, C@H wouldn't dash off for this one without me - I wasn't disappointed of course. Moments later, he arrived, and I leapt into the vehicle. I had grabbed all my caching essentials - torch, headlamp, GPSr, phone, anti-arachnid gloves, and a fluffy lambsy-basket borrowed from my daughters for the outing - full of Easter eggs!

And thus the hypnotist and the officer headed for Officer ...

After almost being sidetracked by apple-groves (note to self - don't always trust the route provided by technology!) we made it to GZ and quickly spied the cache in the MOP.
