Grovedale: Rossack/Heyers 2# Waurn Ponds, Victoria, Australia

Well this was a bit of a surprise. After a conversation came up recently about archived caches I decided to try my luck. I drive past this one almost daily so stopped off to have a look on the way to school pick up. Having lived only a couple of hundred meters from here I knew the roundabout had been re-landscaped since the cache was archived, which was why I was surprised to see the container sticking out from its hide from a fair way away. Over 5 years this has sat here for. Lid was cracked and the log was intact but rather damp. Due to this & the reasons why it was archived I chose to remove it, which I wouldn’t normally do even with an archived cache.

It would seem that this cache has been moved to an unsuitable location after it was Published and no longer fits within the Groundspeak guidelines for cache placement.

As a result I am archiving this cache.

If you wish to place the cache in a suitable location sometime in the next 28 days, just contact a reviewer (by email), with the new co-ordinates and assuming it still meets the current guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

Should you wish to replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

This cache is placed in the centre of A Round about which has no public access therefore under the Road rules it is illegal to gain access to. Option move off round about or archive.

We found but forgot a pen

Found by Lorraine and Chris.
Boy this was a busy roundabout even after 9 pm !

Easy

YAY first one!

Dodgy spot tftc

Very busy area

Cache well hidden although not very much room for it. Could not get cache fully back under had to scatter a few stones around To a cacher cache can still be made out easy enough

Left a flag

Thanks

TFTC!

22:25

More than likely the best time of night to be here.

Traffic at a minimum.

A nice quick well lit hide.

I signed and moved on.

TFTC

Wait for the right moment then pounce, tftgc

Nice easy find with the hint. The guy watering his lawn gave me some odd looks. Found on a bike ride from Marshall Station to Anglesea. Tftc.

Muggles Muggles Muggles

Muggles muggles everywhere! Definitely a night cache!

Found Catching up with my logging of cache, This one was almost a walk in the park except that there was no park. Just wide open streets to cross. A quick and easy find on our tour around the Geelong area. Another also most drive round or over or through cache.
JABs.

Found this cache as part of my caching trip with JAB's to Victoria's Mornington Pennisula and Geelong area. The 29 hours claimed 158 GC caches and 2 GCA trig points. Some great caches were found and the southern beaches were a highlight.

Another easy find in a familiar spot.
Tftc

Seen it straight away, but it can be a busy round about even at night.

Found it! Good find took me a little while! And there it was, plain site!
TFTC
4th for the series! Three left!

Got spotted worth it

Got spoted easy find

4th find!

Took a while to be alone but I got there in the end. Tftc

Found @20:15
Had this one on the radar for a while now. Finally got the chance to grab it while walking Geo Puppy.
SL Thanks for the cache tnt_trent_130

Brought Geosister and Geonephew along to see what Geocaching was all about. I grabbed it when I saw a break in vehicle traffic but let Geosister put it back. Its not an eclipse container any more. Grey plastic one instead.

This one is very easy, but very hard not to be seen... It's also very very wet...

Easy! Thanks

Tftc

Attempted this cache once before in the middle of the day but too many muggles so didn't bother. Ended up coming here with muggle work friend after a late shift. Tftc

Oh and log was a bit damp. May need replacing

If we're gonna deal with muggles, we'll deal with muggles properly. Tackled this one at 8am!
TFTC, tnt_trent.

A quick jaunt from the previous cache in this series saw the Owlets upon their third cache for the night.

Tawny Owl spotted the location before the car had ceased movement - but plenty of muggles and their dogs led to a few laps of the neighborhood before we could come to a stop. Tawny Owl flew to the presumed location and soon had the prize in-hand.

A good location, but plenty of traffic and walkers even late at night - keep your eyes peeled!

A detour on the way home from work and a quick find made at 2355. Had to wait for a couple of cars to go past before I could make the return.

TFTC

Well that was tricky with muggles. Took some time to locate had to read previous logs to find location as it has changed to the hint

Very quick easy find with geo kid, pretty much muggle less at night. TFTC

I'm glad we did this one at night

Found it

Nice easy one, thank you good fun

Something wrong with the date log on the apple device. This was logged on the 7th and come through on the 6th so I have had to edit the log. Not an easy one to do due to the regular number of muggles going past. TFTC.

Found! Wow what a busy spot. Looked, nothing coming, ran to GZ. 2 buses came, everyone looking at me wondering why this idiot is here. Heaps of cars, then nothing, grabbed cache. Then another bus. Argh. Quickly signed & then ran back to cache mobile.

TFTC

Couldn't Find it 10.30pm 20/7/13

Easier to get on a Sunday! Still plenty of traffic to watch out for though.

HellZ yeah!!!!

I was in the area today, so ducked down here before heading home.
The cache was found after a brief search. The council has been enhancing the area , so it took a little longer.
A nice bit of history.
Thanks for the cache.
Cheers

As I pretend to 'tie' my shoe I find this wee cache under the new gravel they have laid down. Very busy spot here. Thanks

Buckleysbabe positively squirms every time one of these caches has to be collected! Today was no different with an almost continuous stream of muggle vehicles. Dashed in to grab the cache in a gap, retreated to sign the log and then had to wait for another gap to do the return.

Thanks tnt trent 130

Me and Mom did a little acting like I was hurt, oh well.. TFTC!

Nice easy one after yesterday's tough day, looking forward completing series. Really difficult avoiding muggles here

TFTC

I headed to Torquay today with my two boys for a bit of a day trip, to grab some caches and to enjoy the nice day. Once we'd had breakfast we readied ourselves, packed the car and hit the road. The trip around the bay was pretty good and admittedly this was the first time I had been to Torquay. By the time we arrived it was close to lunch time so we found a fish and chip shop, ordered up then headed to the beach to enjoy our lunch. Not much of a swell today but there were still plenty of people along the foreshore and still a couple of surfers waiting for that wave to catch. We had a great time and will have to come back again some day.
A nice easy grab today as we made our way back through Geelong. Thanks for the hide.

This has to be one of the most exposed caches in Geelong. Pretended I was looking at a house for sale as cars went past me.

TFTC. Couldn't get much easier..

Muggles galore! Night time would have been better for this one.
TFTC

Back in Geelong, visiting for Easter. Just had to add to my Geelong smiles.
Gee, talk about being exposed and out in the open!!!. Loose shoe laces were the order of the day here.
TFTC, TNLN

A really easy drive by and a muggles paradise. TFTC

We were surprised to spot the container as we drove past today. Pulled over, waited for the traffic to pass and made the find quickly. Guess you have to be a bit bold here. TFTC

Gotta be the easiest cache I've ever done! Minus the passing cars. It's in plain sight.... Hope it is meant to be.... that's how I found & replaced it. T.F.T.C!

Quick find with Biggles Bear. Thanks for the cache.

Been past many times, never spotted it before. Nice hide

Found it

Found 14:25, in the company of Muzza during our regular caching day out.

TNLN, CSI=2, thanks tnt_trent_130.

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

13th found in the company of lochb, Alansee and coley_babee in town for a particular award winning Fyansford Treasure cache.
Another quick park'n'grab.

Thanks tnt_trent_130 for this cache.

We watched the traffic go by as we grabbed this one, quickly retreating back to the car

This cache was just sitting there with no cover? TFTC

Found with Lochb, Princess Diala, and Colee_Babee. WE got on a bit of a roll with these caches and ended up at a total we didn't expect.

Came back to Geelong for work and caching of course
New house boom here
Thanks for bring me here and cache

I have placed a new log in this cache

The logbook is quite wet and difficult to sign. A new one in a press seal bag is probably needed.

Out for a spot of wefweshments with EuDes herself and her Cuz, we stopped by this one for a nice easy find at 18:05, although we did cop several stares from passing motorists during the retrieval and replacement .

TNLNSL and our BYO pen geocoin had a visit to mark the occasion. Thanks tnt_trent_130.

PS: The logsheet is saturated but I was still able to sign it somehow.

Busy day there today used the workman disguise made out I was inspecting location

Easy pick up after donning an orange vest and carrying notebook. Lots of traffic.

Found on our BIG Little Event trip. A nice quick find. Good hide. TFTC!

Very easy to find, but loads of traffic made this a bit harder, but only took a little patience. TFTC!

A tooting vehicle was a non-muggle driving past. Gave me a surprise though. TFTC

Found while out walking the dog with the Jarrett family on Christmas Day. Signed and quickly placed back.

Slightly less conspicuous hanging about this than #1! Can't believe that this hasn't been muggled! Left nothing, took butterfly, SL. TFTC!

Another quick pick up but not for children,unless ona tight lead,and with some Adult minders.

Nice easy find (just like Rossack #1). Only 150m from Dad and Mum's place. Good to have one so close. Took the dog for a quick walk to find this one. TFTC TNT Trent 130. SL.

A good start to the day with clautza

Signed log easy find log a bit water damaged

Found this one some time ago but have just discovered that it was not logged.
I am returning to Geelong again and was checking others caches in the area when I noticed that this was not logged.
I felt quite exposed out in the middle with lots of funny looks from motorists passing by.
TFTC SL

TFTC< even at midnight there are still muggles around.

Tftc

T4tc! log was very wet! And it was hard to write on.

Thrid one of yours for the day. Thank you.

Signed log.

Log might need changing, was a little damp, perhaps a small zip-lock?
