Had a bit of trouble with this one so am archiving it.

Will have a look ASAP
Thanks and sorry for the dnf's

Plenty of searching but no luck.

No find either..

Nil find sorry

No luck not keen about playground hides when i don,t have kids with me...

A quick find today. TFTC SL

Quick find except for the muggles we had to distract TFTC

Found[Time to Find: 38 min] A quick after school caching run for Emily and I. There were muggles in residence today but Emily hatched a plan involving hide and seek game and she soon had the cache in hand. Putting it back was easy once I sat on the bottom step and waited for the right moment. Thanks skip2992 for this one.

Down this way for a touch of visiting, I decided to dive out for a quick find or two (fingers crossed ). On such a cold, foggy night, GZ was understandably vacant and I soon had the stash in hand at 19:00.

TNLNSL, although a couple of our geocoins had a visit to mark the occasion. Thanks skip2992.

Lots of muggles today! SL TFTC

Very sneeky hiding place very creative

Encountered someone who told me to have a dangerous night

Found caching with Cononon. Fun cache and climbing wall, but there were some... Suspicious characters around. TFTC

Got there just as Whatever Was Happening In The Hall was finishing up, so I had to be pretty stealthy so as to not be spotted! Had a good poke around, and couldn't see anything, so I had a look at the clue, which made it a lot easier. Quickly found the cache, and signed the log in the darkness.

Thanks for the cache, I'm impressed it hasn't been muggled!

I could imagine muggles to be a major issue at times, but no one was around as we were late in the day. TFTC

Nice quick find in a spot where I not a fan of caches being placed but will still do them as I have travelled to the spot. Tftn

Thankfully the park was deserted, as we have no geokids of our own to cover for us. Nice park, good hide for the cache container. SL.
TFTC, Merann.

A quiet Sunday, so called Dunko and we decided to cache for the arvo, QEF TFTC SL

A quiet Sunday after the night before and got a call from Slink1 and we decided to cache for the afternoon. QEF TFTC SL

Came back and found this in literally 3 seconds...yay! TFTC

Another Demolition Crew run, but this time with The Roostaman on board all the way from Wagga..... Great to have him along, as he has cached with us before, and we all had a ball. Tonight's run took us down the peninsula, for a bit of a clean up run. Top night as always, and Roosta, the chicken rolls were great as well.... Thanks to all the CO's for their cache placements.

Nice quick find here again, and we continued the run. TFTC.

Found on another TDC with fellow members TrailRunning, Quasar3671, Blacklegend and a special guest appearance my great mate from Wagga Wagga Roostaman, we had a great night with lots of laughs as usual, the boys tell me the Chicken rolls were good as well, I missed out due to my Gluten intolerance. I was glad there were no kids about. Thanks skip2992 for the cache.

Found during another great run south with the TDC members TrailRunning, Quasar3671, Blacklegend & Rebel Acts. I was in the area for a few days once again and asked a couple of the TDC nicely if I could join them on this weeks adventure. With not many meal stops along the route I was glad I took along a few extra chicken rolls for nourishment, At least it wasn't wild, wet & windy all night like previous trips.
We had a few less finds this week too with a few caches needing maintenance.
Another joyous trip full of fun and laughs, as well as some exciting climbs by Quasar.
We found the remains and had some supplies that helped to resurrect what was missing.
TFTC skip2992,
Roostaman.

This cache was found as part of a cache run with my fellow TDC members Quasar3671, Blacklegend & Rebel Acts, and the man from Wagga Wagga ... Roostaman. Missing again, cache replaced.

Run Summary
----------------------
Roostaman, had travelled south from Wagga to got to Eric and Nat's engagement party on the weekend. He was keen to come out caching with the TDC, so we obliged. Armed with his famous chicken rolls for all, we travelled south down the peninsula collecting caches as we went. Not a great night for finds, with many missing, we still had heaps of fun and lots of laughs. Thanks to all the CO's for their caches.

My son has just purchased a house nearby and I had a five minute window from the working bee to pick up this one. It was very popular with the local kids but they were climbing the trees nearby. Nice easy find in the usual place.
Thanks for my daily cache skip2992

Looked and looked...obviously missing something

Sorry for the problem ZombieDogs. Have now changed Hint to help But will still have a look ASAP

Sorry for Delay
Thanks trailrunning for reminding me of this one not there.
Back from Queensland Jamboree and it is now good to go.
in it's original location

Coordinates changed from:
S 38° 13.448 E 145° 03.448

Coordinates changed to:
S 38° 13.448 E 145° 03.453

Distance from original: 23.8 feet or 7.3 meters.

Changed location to original location

Came back through the area last night, and after 2 months CO has not replaced the cache. I suggest it is archived to free up the area for other cache placements.

We walked into the area only to realise the cache is not there. Nice to see it return.

Has gone missing.
On the terrain problem I apologize but I forgot to change from the old location.

DNF at 4:08:57 PM. We were supposed to be heading home after "Stone's Crossing", but Robmc insisted on just a few more on the way and this is the result . There weren't that many places to search in - assuming the co-ords were correct and the cache was in the BBQ shelter. But if it was up high, how the heck does the terrain rating of 1.0 get passed? Wheelchair people must have hydraulic chairs that lift them up 2 metres

As stated by the others - we came, we searched, we did not conquer.

Not a good cache to finish the day on - a nano, and a DNF!
A nice park though. I particually liked the mermaid/octopus sculpture.
We swarmed all over the structure, but no nano could we find.
Thanks, Robmc.

4:06:00 PM
We joined with BettyBoo3747, Maccamob, Pprass and Robmc for a day of caching on the eastern side of the bay. We looked high, we looked low, we looked in, we looked out, but today there was no way we could work this one out! Resorted to the clue but six pairs of eyes still couldn't encourage this cache to show itself. We did wonder about a Terrain rating of 1, a tad low, if our intepretation of the hint is correct.

Thanks for the hunt anyway skip2992 .

With a long drive back to the other side of the Westgate, and peak hour traffic awaiting, we headed for home after finishing "Stones Crossing". However, there's always time for one more, and this one was close by. We needn't have bothered. There was nobody else about, so we could search thoroughly. However, after about 15 minutes, with six searchers and even after reading the hint, we gave it away. A disappointing end to a great day's caching. Our thanks anyway to skip2992.

Find # 851 Found @22:50Hrs

The GLW wanted to go find some caches To-Nite so we decided to head South To-Nite to see how our luck would hold out.
Well this was the Fourth of Eight for the night.

We decided to go for a drive south To-Nite to see how many caches we (Rigger & myself) could find on our way south before heading home.

This was a nice easy drive-by.

Here with Natasha today, scratched our heads for a while over this one but eventually found the awesome hide SL TFTC

Very sneaky hide, eventually found with Pea bear. Would have found it sooner if I was taller. Love this sort of hide. Earns Fav from me. TFTC

On a caching trip with abl973, we visited this one nice and early on Sunday morning. It was an ideal time to try it with not a muggle in sight. The cache was soon spotted when standing in just the right place. Thanks skip2992 for the cache.

This has been the first day out caching in a while where the weather has been fantastic - Spring has started very nicely. Today Square Pegs and I are on a mission out from Melbourne to Mt Eliza and back. After parking the car it wasn't long before we got a clean Sat lock with both GPSr pointing the direction with each metre ticking down towards a very likely GZ and while the neighbours appeared to still be sleeping the cache was found. Thanks Skip2992.

International Geocaching Day find!!! After being the one who couldn't find the original hide I let myself be lulled into looking more or less in the same spot, only yo be saved by TrudyJane asking could it be here and ..finally looking more closely Ta Da!! TFTC

Went with GrahamT who had been the DNF on the original location and it took a bit to get him to widen his search from there, and then - an International Geocaching Day find! Whoopee.

very very sneaky took a while to find

Team Morno: Saulman1010 with Biger12, Geobrat2000, Skoobdog98, azza, Tanya, Elly, Connor, Tal and two dogs found this cache today.
Grabbed the cache between showers. Nice day for a cache or two in the local area with an hour to kill.

Not a cache for the shorties.

Out with GeoKids Blake and Nate
nice hide, not so easy for GeoKids but with dads help anything is possible

Well hidden cache but hard to spot for smaller people.
TFTH. Signed log.

New Location and new Container

Back online hope this stays longer. Hopefully it's a better hide

Didn't realise this would go so soon but I will have a rethink of this one a replace in next few days

This is one of those occasions when I start to go......what am I missing here? Bovver and it seemed so simple when my GPS put me right on the coordinates and I couldn't see/find anything...

A nice quick and easy find to fill in the 25th June on our caching calendar. The carpark was quite full but interestingly enough there was not a soul around today. TFTC skip2992

*Late entry*

Nice quick find just on dusk - coords were spot on as per always. Glad the kiddies were no where in sight as it allowed me a quick find.

Thx for the cache skip - shame it's been muggled.

*FTF* I was not far away when shit one published so and made a V-line to it. I soon found the cache thanks to a good hint and then the cache owner arrived. We then had a good chat before I headed of to finish of the owners other new cache. TFTC

@ 2200 hrs & the wind howling,
l was grateful this community park was well lit.

TFTC SL suzy

I had just got in the car and was heading into work when I thought i'd check emails via my iphone. Three new caches published towards Mornington about an hour before so off I headed. Having just got a FTF at a nearby new cache, I was informed that the FTF was already gone on this one but I still had to go and find it. Parked right near GZ and quickly had the cache and the log signed.
Thanks for the hide skipp2992.
