We look long and hard and couldn't find it. If the next person does, please leave a clue and we will have another look - good luck
Looked all over, inside and out but no sign, suspect its probably been found and thrown on the fire.
@19:05. Dropped by here but despite a long search, I was unable to locate the cache.
Nice hide.
We decided to have a BBQ while we were here.
Thanks jroysahn.

Found on family scout camp with my veteran caching friend showing me the rope sl tftc
Found while at Bay Park camp with Doncaster E scouts for Melb cup weekend, with BelleAkelea and scout rikki.
Even talked the "boys" into considering the bay trail tomorrow instead of playing 9 holes!
Might have a couple of new recruits here.

Our first cache!!
Found it after a bit of a search, had a hand injury so retrieving was more difficult than it would be normally. Fun find, thanks.

On family camp at bay park so quick walk before dinner with cubs and newbies. Cubs were more interested in the playground tftc
Had to come back to this one as there was a huge picnic with heaps of kids running around.
On return I had the park to myself. After a quick survey of GZ the cache was in hand (with a bit of monkey maneuvers).
Signed log and replaced.

MUGGLED!!!!!!
This was disappointing to end our day. We arrived at this park and walked over to GZ, there was a fire still lit and burning in the fire place of the hut. We noticed a container with everything lying on the floor, we gathered what we could find signed the log and replaced where I thought maybe it could of been hidden. CO may contact me via Geocaching.com if needing to find out where replaced. I also suggest CO may want to go check this cache out. Not much found as in swaps etc but log was still intact container and lid where also fine (see attached pic)
Although we found the sight of a muggled cache I do Thank You for bring us to a great park that we never knew was here

Nice easy find after work as I was working in mt Martha. Had been past here on many occasions and there was always muggle activity here, very popular. Thanks everyone at 2nd mornington sea scouts. Bwbandit
Found it Yestaday with QueenK8 whilst on a "hary potter" themed camp.
A nice easy find is what I like!

We were staying nearby in the trains at Bay Park for our Harry Potter camp. On Friday night, we went for a night hike up the hill to this park. At first, QueenK8, who is one of our Leaders, thought that we might try the nearby multi-cache. But given that it was dark, that the area was quite woody, and we had 23 Cubs and six Leaders, she decided that we would look for this one instead.
When we got to GZ we all had a lot of fun looking around with our torches. We were very excited when one of us found it! One of our Leaders retrieved it, and we all had fun passing around the contents. Once we had all signed the log (some of our Cubs have their own accounts) we put it back where we found it. Then we enjoyed looking at the city lights as we walked back to the entrance to Bay Park.
Thank you to 2nd Mornington Sea Scouts for hiding this cache so we could have an adventure on our Cub camp! And a big, Scouting "Hullo!" to you all from your sisters and brother in 1st Maroondah 'Yowie' Cub Pack

I had taken my Cubs to Bay Park, to have a 'Harry Potter' themed camp in the train carriages. On the Friday night, we went for a walk to this park to collect a cache, as the Pack has entered the Great Scouts Geocaching Competition. The Cubs had a lovely time searching around with their torches, and were very excited to find the cache and examine the contents. Thanks for the cache
Competitive streak kicked in when a friend topped my cache total, so the trip home from work today took a bit longer than usual. TNLN SL
This one cache that the possums will love. Easy find just took that bit more effort than most. TFTC
Looks as though someone tried to break into this place through the roof, Guess that it must have been a very dark night. TFTC
This was a well hidden cache that had us looking for quite a while, longer than it should have, but got it eventually. Thanks. TNLNSL
Had a bit of fun retrieving this one, might need some maintenance soon as the overhead cover has been damaged, and when it gets repaired the cache may be discovered by muggles

Another caching run had me team up with Square_pegs and head towards the Mornington Peninsula to find a few caches some new and ones that have been on our 'to find' list for too long. This is our first caching run for 2013 and I'm exhausted which is just how it should be after a full on day. Hey this is an awesome park, I really quite like it so I think I'll bring the kids here one day. It was a bit of challenge to retrieve the cache but with some team work it was quickly signed and returned. Thanks jroysahn.
The cache was spotted and then had to be retrieved. With a little grating manoeuvre, we soon had it in hands. A lovely park which we had to ourselves this morning. Thanks for the cache.
I needed some help from Wandarra to get this one. We made some swaps and placed it back in it,s hide. My brother and I had a play on the playground and had fun. Thanks Sea Scouts.
Attacked this one early in the morning to avoid the muggles. Retrieved with the help from the Wise Trolls. TFTC
A friendly scout camp where we found the cache with mazza-g, and took Peter Linskey TB with us , the railway carriages were fascinating . TFTC
Found with penpolpals & traveling scout - Peter Lynskey
Left green camp badge found in Bay Park!

Went to try for this some time ago, but too many Muggles in a very popular spot - an early morning run was the only way to go. Have to agree with the previous logs about the smell not being too great, but as it was a quick find and with the help of an agile assistant, the log was soon signed and we were gone. TFTC
found with hoon1, was very dark which made this hard to find and after doing a few laps made the find. tftc
Found the hut easily enough and looked/walked around for a time looking for an easily accessible cache location. Upon eliminating all the easily reached hiding spots, I started to look for better hidden and not as hides. After scrambling over and climbing on various things, I noticed the nicely hidden cache container. A stick from the fireplace and more climbing was needed before cache was in hand, signed and returned.
Found on the way home from swimming lessons. Also stopped to have a play on the swings. Always great to see new ones like this pop up in the local area. TFTC
Brilliant Cache took a while because of high muggle activity but found it otherwise TFTC - Flugu_Blah
Found that one on a caching tour with Riddell.
Except of the spiders I like this kind of caches
Thanks for hiding it here

Was great to be with BjOssie98 when he found his first cache. Looking forward to a great scout camp...we are nearly there! TFTC
Found it first cache...Took golf ball, left caribeena. TFTC Found with Scouter Steff
Got a glimpse of this cache this afternoon but there were too many BBQ muggle nearby.
Came back tonight and completed the task.

Found with Crazy! Nat Girl on a day out caching and beaching, Certainly not terrain 1.5, that terrain rating means your feet do not have to leave the ground. i had to physically climb to retrieve this one, I would rate it 2.5 or a 3. Thanks for the cache, it was a nice reserve to visit.
Found @ 7:22pm, find # 1699
I stopped off here to start the closeby night cache and decided to grab this one first.
After a bit of a look around at GZ the cache was soon spotted and after a bit of climbing I had it out of it's hide.
Thanks to jroysahn for this cache.

# 1331. Out caching today with Robmc, Pprass, Maccamob and Phetlern. As soon as I saw the lovely glowing logs in the fireplace I decided to let the others do the searching here while I warmed up. A funny old shelter, but obviously it gets used a lot. Rob retrieved after David's sighting. Glad I wasn't trying to do this one alone. TFTC
Found at 12:59 PM GAFF5 in the company of BettyBoo3747, maccamob, Phetlern and Robmc.
With a Terrain rating of 1.5 it didn't even occur to me to look way up there - that's a 2.0 rating. There was a fire still burning in one of the fire places!
Thanks jroysahn

There was a fire going in the fireplace when we arrived, and we promptly lost two searchers to its warmth.
It must be rough being a Sea Scout around here, not ony would you have to push the boat a long way to get to any water (and uphill on the way back!), but the hall has no front on it!
You would need very long arms to classify this as a terrain 1.5. A good find by Maccamob.
Thanks, Robmc.

13:00
We joined with BettyBoo3747, Maccamob, Pprass and Robmc for a day of caching on the eastern side of the bay. There was no need to bring the wood today as the fire was already burning to warm us. Maccamob made the first sighting and guided an agile Rob to the prize. We did think the Terrain rating of 1.5 was a little understated.

Found by Mary & David, in company with Robmc, BettyBoo3747, pprass and phetlern, at 1300. An unexpected place to associate with Sea Scouts! Judging by the piles of ashes outside, the fireplace must get regular use, and was glowing warmly when we arrived. We spread out to search inside and out, until David spotted the cache from just the right angle, after which Rob retrieved it. Bon voyage! Our thanks to jroysahn.
Great hiding spot. Quickly signed log with Pea bear and cache returned just before some muggles turned up. TFTC
Great hide, found and had to log and replace the cache quickly as there were approaching muggles. Left green smiley eraser, took nothing. SL TFTC
One of 14 for evening whilst in the area for The Covert / Starruby event.. I picked out some caches that should keep me away from the mad traffic and also take in some areas that wouldn't normally be en route other wise.. Its far enough from home, and in an area I don't often travel, therefor I didn't mind "clearing it out" so to speak.. I feels like months since I've got more than one cache in a day, however in reality its less than a fortnight... Thanks JroysahnT for the cache and stretch of the legs.. Thanks for the good coords... Found whilst chatting and DePizzaing my Pizza box.. Find #2771 Dipped random Travel Bugs and Geo Coins
Found this one while attending Starruby's milestone event. This was a case of the wandering cache for the night as many folks signed it and found it. It ended up back in its rightful place but was visited by a lot of folks for the evening. Jacimarble grabbed this one and we signed it before to many people turned up.

Find # 1949
Tonight was a work night, but I made an exception and headed out to the Mornington area for Coverts 366 + 1000 = Starruby event which was VERY close by. I had arrived early and knew the first thing I wanted to do was to find this cache.
This was a good quality cache, well hidden, however, the terrain rating should probably be increased. (1 more star?)
Anyway, thanks to jroysahn for the cache, TNLN.

Found @ 21:30 with a few geofriends. This one wasn't hard to find as it was hiding in plain sight during the event.
Signed when the opportunity arose.
Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables.
Thanks for the cache jroysahn
