Come and Ride the Train! Pakenham, Victoria, Australia
By coley_babee on 22-Apr-12. Waypoint GC3HMRW

Gone again, it simply is a bad spot, may rethink the hide!!!

Def and wondering if still there based on other dnf

Can Co check please a heap of dnf

Definitely not there.

Many DNFs. Checked everywhere. No attention from cache owner.

Unable to find it.

Can any one confirm it is still there.

Will try to go have a look today to check on this one..

Looked for this with 3 ppl. Didn't find. Will try again another time, but may need to be checked.

I had Papa Grouch and SciFiRulz with me and they said it wasnt where either of them had found it. We had a good look around but nothing turned up. Muggled again?

@13:19. I was out caching with Sando33716 today and this was one of four DNFs on this run. We searched all over for this one and the hint suggested we were looking in the right spot. Seeing as though it hasn't been found for a couple of months, it may need to be checked.

Very quick easy find by S. Now of to collect geo scout M at Gilwell. Pity we can't stay and find more caches. TNLNSL. TFTC. KemS

I was trying a few caches around Pakenham before heading home. I arrived to discover a muggle just hanging around at GZ. As they didn't look like they were going anywhere in a hurry, I left...maybe another day.

Tftc

Found with PapaGrouch and muggledaughter, still trying to convert her. Just made it before a train arrived. TFTC

Out and about with the Walenators on a wet morning. A revisit to this cache with much more success than our previous attempt and less people this time. TFTC coley_babee

On the way to work after dropping Campbell at school I decided to grab this cache now its back online. Parked the Geo Ranger nearby and walked to GZ. Made the quick find and sat down and signed the log, glad I was there a minute earlier as a couple of muggles went close to GZ. Waited them out and rehid without a prob.

Thanks for the cache coley babee!!!

Back again to Pakenham to find another one only cache for today. The cache was found quickly and just in time for the alarm to start to warn of the approaching train.
Thanks Coley_babee for the cache,
Regards The Coffee's

So happy to see this one back online! That unfound cache was a single green spot on a homescreen of smilies for a long time. Really liked the hiding spot for this one too, thanks for the cache!

Geocache 4/4 on a fathers day weekend bike ride. I approached and was aware of the 100 cameras watching so I pretended to use the telephone but I could not find the cache... I found it in the end after I took a closer look around. TFTC coley_babee!

Went looking earlier today but way to many muggles,so returned at 10 pm tonight and found the cache after 5 minutes of looking.

out with Lozgur.
YES YES YES........ oh thank you coley, thank you!!!!!!!!! I hav been wanting to cross this 1 off my list for ages, and with the help of Lozgur who made the find we showed my geo-cousin another cache. we came out for a night time run for this 1, not as many muggles or trains.

Wow, pay phones still exist! Found the cache easily but had to find something to help me get it out.
Thanks for the cache

25/08/13 9:52
Find #497

This cache had been sitting on the map almost as though it was taunting me. Thankfully, coley_babee saw fit to bring it back and for that I am thankful. As an added bonus, today its officially 'unloved'. Another 183 days to add to my total.
I found the cache without any trouble but just as I did, the 9:45am to Pakenham pulled into the station. I sat down as a muggle approached but then realised that my man sized fingers wouldn't release the container from its 'hidey hole' and so I returned to my car for some 'cache liberation' equipment. I soon had the log in hand and duly signed it before returning the container to where I found it.

Cache is back in place and ready to go!

Will this cache be coming back or is it dead and buried?

I will reassess the situation this weekend on a maintenance run!

Has grown legs and run away for the moment!!!

The Chief may have left his cache goggles in the car as he returned with a sad face and a comment about these senior moments becoming all too common an occurrence. Next time

Find 05 of 07 for the day and #1480 in total.

Cracked the hint on the way to GZ because of how busy the area was & came away with a smiley.

Echo 2 - Spice 3
('\(OoO)/') Thanks for the caching fun!

Our very first geocache find after 2 failures.
Oh the excitement!

Easy find

Quick find with oldest geokid. Tftc

Found with dad. Back dating my logs now that I have my own account.

Nice easy find on a trip into town. Found inbetween shopping at Bunnings and Dans!

Found on a caching weekend with Davidman. TNLNSL TFTC

I thought this would be a lot more difficult considering the amount of cameras but it was quite easy with two of us.
Made sure we were smiling in case we were being watched. Tftc

Found on an Australia Day caching hunt around Berwick, Officer and Pakenham.

In the area with Pea bear today & this one turned out to be her 300th find. A great cache to celebrate with. We both love trains so it seemed quite appropriate. Had to wait a few minutes for a train to arrive & then we were free to grab, sign & replace before anymore muggles arrived. TFTC

Our car GPS had some difficulty in getting us here, but when we arrived we were able to retrieve just before a train arrived. TFTC

On a caching mission in the area today with BorisB&Natasha. After pretending to make a call while waiting for muggles to catch the train, I quickly spotted the cache. Nice hide for my 300th find! TFTC

Great cache tried to avoid the CCTV cameras. Did not make a call.TFTC

A great place for muggles, had to wait a wile to replace the cache as one decided to wait for a train. TFTC.

2 adults and 2 kids looked high and low for fifteen minutes for this one. Due to the holidays maybe its possibly stolen?

So thankful it was not a a multi part cache that required counting all the CCT cameras - so many of them on the walk from the car park of the new supermarket.

First geocache we found. Love these awesome adventures.

Found by Mary & David at 1440. How this area has changed! We can remember this area not too long ago as green paddocks and cows. Now there's even a station! Our thanks to coley_babee.

Found tonight!! Second find ever!

Found 10:15, after a brief search in the company of Muzza.

TNLN, CSI=2, thanks coley_babee.

Nice quick find while out with Biggles Bear. We were quite surprised that there was a train running. With the recent crash, we thought all trains were suspended, but presumably only further up the line. Thanks for the cache.

Found on a nice day for caching, very few muggers around.
TFTC.

First find for the day, on foot from the place where we parked my car for the day. Off to the Wonthaggi Rail Trail now! TFTC

We found this cache today at 8:00am as the 1st of 80 on our Wonthaggi Rail Ride Day. As we gathered to set off, Alansee and Lochb had already zipped over for a find to start the day so I jogged over and back to also get one on the board. Nice to finally see a bit of an expansion on Melbourne's train network. Thanks from D B-A.

A quick find with Lochb as we were going to meet up with others, including the CO for a day's caching. A neat hide thanks CB.

We tried for this one a bit earlier but aborted it as a young couple were prancing around of the station pointing at all the security cameras etc. So we went off to do the "Heaven" cache and our old ByPass #2 cache. On the way back to the highway we called past and the place was deserted. So we did find it after a little search and ignoring the cameras, it was pretty tricky to extract but thankfully had the multi-tool to save the day. TFTC colee_baby

In the area working, time for a couple of caches on the way home.
Not too many Muggles but, Jeeze, hate a camera. Moderately quick grab.
TFTC coley babee.

Looked everywhere. Couldn't find it hint?

We had just been to Coley_babee's house and had to do a cache today so we chose one of hers. I had a Japanese student in tow and had a bit of a hard time explaining to her what geocaching was and can you imagine her surprise when I pulled out the cache. Lucky for us there were no muggles around, just and express train passing through so we paused our search for a minute until it had gone. TFTC Coley_babee

Found @ 11:30am, find # 1594
The last one for the day on the way home.
Arrived at the station which was fairly quiet and after a short search the cache was found, the only problem was I couldn't retrieve it from were it was so I had to go back to the car to got a retrieval tool, after that I was soon signing the log.
Thanks to coley babee for this cache.

First find near our home!

Quick easy find on a gorgeous winter afternoon

Cache in great condition, signed and returned
Thank you!

Sadly, forgot my pen! Close to home though, so will update later.

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.

A nice quick one here as well. TFTC coley babee.....

Quiet here at middayTFTC

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.

Had to make a call, found a cache. A nice quick driveby. TFTC

Trying to catch up finds from months ago, apologies for the belated log.

The last one in the company of the owner. We weren't riding the train, but a car which we hopped out of to make the find.

Thanks Coley for the fun awesome day in your company!

After a big afternoon in the Bunyip State Forest, I dropped by here on the way home to find this cache. No muggles about this afternoon, just a couple on the opposite platform, so I made my way to GZ and after a short search, found the small cache and signed the log.
Thanks for the hide.

Being cooped up the last 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. Mark works less than a kilometre from here and has been watching the progress of this station for a long time.
Even though it looked to be finished it still took awhile before the trains actually stopped here. Our first visit here was on Thursday when Mark had to pick his boss up from here after his trip to China but he didn't have a GPS with him and it turns out that we were standing within a metre of it. We came here today because we thought that it would be nice and quiet but as we reached gz the Pakenham train came in so we waited until the few muggles left before we began searching for the cache. After we replaced the cache we spotted the Melbourne bound train on it's was into the station.
We have to say that we haven't seen so many CCT cameras in such a small area.
Thanks colee baby for the cache.

Never knew this station existed

TFTC

Found 1540hrs. Forgot we didn't need to make a call! TFTC

I overlooked it but 42below didn't.
Signed and on our way again

Thanks Coley Babee

Oh, doh! Not got our caching eyes on today!

Catching up on my logging - found while out and about with my caching buddy Slink1

a quick find at GZ TFTC SL

Nice quick find, but big brother
certainly watching the surrounding
area here, tftc,sl.

It's amazing where people can live these days!

Well we saw that there were no logs for this cache. As we were coming to Pakenham we went looking to see if we could get our second FTF. But not to been had bee found this afternoon

After driving close by with Cracka1 noticed no FTF logged yet. Chilly night out and an easy find. Opened to see that 2 had been here before us. 1pm. I'm sure it was bucketing down then. 3rdTF. TFTC.

Coming home from work i jumped of the freeway to grab this cache, I was not expecting to be ftf and I was right, mr red stamp had been out at 1pm. thanks coley babee for the cache and wow the train station has got a lot more car parking than the old pakenham stationthe new train station make the old station looks tried and grotty.

*FTF* What better thing to so than go for a FTF hunt in the poring rain. It was coming down in buckets but that did not stop the chance for a FTF, besides I had a raincoat on ! On found myself on the wrong side of the tracks thanks to not looking at my GPS. Once I got to within 10 meters I knew where to look and soon had the cache in hand. TFTC
