As there has been no response by the cache owner to the previous note, I am forced to archive this listing.

Happy to take over cache maintenance to ensure it is not archived. It is a lovely spot.

Should have checked the log first, though it is still a beautiful spot. We chased butterflies and sat by the lake watching all the baby water birds.

Should have read the logs.

Nope I think it may have disappeared hasn't been found since May 2015

No Luck here today.

Think it's gone no luck at all

Had a good look with tassie expat but I think she's gone.

Think itis gone

This one seems goneski. No success in the three sets of eyes trying to find this one, all be two sets 5yrs old and younger. Maybe the neighbours had enough of being able to see people parking their butts.

No cache found but we did find a lost kitten in the middle of the path on the way to GZ. He ran up to us and needed a little cuddle. We carried on to try find the cache, kitty in hand, and unfortunately no luck today. Geohubby was very disappointed but at least the kitty is safe and hopefully happy now

Parked cloes to GZ and made a quick easy find.
TFTC.

Very tricky

TFTC !! Lovely little spot been driving past hear for years and never new about the nice little pond.. a nice walk down memory lane catching the train from Melbourne to foster.. in the early 1980s this cache put a lovely smile to my day.. take a sit on the seat and enjoy the nature!!

Second time lucky. Thanks for replacing it. TFTC

Made a new one, don't be fooled the geocache can't be used to write with

Lovely walk. Think I saw where it WAS but possibly not now. Maintenance check may be needed please.

Possibly gone AWOL

Found on my way to my cousins in Leongatha. Had a muggle walk past as I was signing the logbook. Apart from that no drama. TFTC

Easy find. Not really a small but a good hide and a nice place none the less! TFTC

Really nice walk beautiful place to sit and enjoy what's round but it's bigger then small

A pleasant walk to stretch the legs as we passed through town. SL TFTC

Nice easy find

Found.

We accessed from a little closer to GZ but no matter. Can't get easier than a 1/1. Though we're amazed this has lasted for 2 whole years but still only 83 finds. The hide was kind of less of a hide & more of a "here I am". We tried our best to hide a little better but that was the hardest part of our task here today.

Quick find today, was freezing! Tftc

Nice little area with some good birdlife. Short walk to the find. Tftc

another nice walk to find a cache
tftc

A pretty spot although in full view of the muggle house so we had to be discreet. TFTC.

Nice peaceful spot. TNLNSL. TFTC.

Lovely spot.
TFTH. Signed log.

Yay we found it! (At night). With MySilverQT

TFTC I like caches that someone makes and goes to some effort, a nice spot well done

Nice quick grab after a visit to the dentist. Very bold hide and hope this lasts awhile. Nice little park that is in a country town that's growing rapidly. Tftc tnln sl

First one!

After school drop off, knowing I had to be back in 2 hours to pick up again, I decided to combine my live of photography with a few caches. Thanks for the wonderful location of my first find for the day. Great picturesque spot as well

Now thats a cool cache! Thanks for placing it here. Fav point from us!

Easy find after easy walk... we're the muggles in the house behind us the maintainers

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Our very first find! We're new to this. Was a bit wet and soggy though

Just starting out. First find with the kids. Unable to log as paper was all soggy. Thanks!

Found it TFTC. Such a nice day for a little stroll.

Checking out something for the scouts. Fantastic spot had no idea it was here. TFTC

Very esy

Quick find but getting the log all squished back in was a challenge. TFTC

Nice hot day to grab a quick cache on our way home from buying some school items, great spot for a great hide !!! SL TFTC..

Only muggle spotted was on return walk. A lovely spot. TN left a coin. If old log was removed, the fit wouldn't be so tight. TFTC.

Great Friday night adventure to start the school holidays! Thank you for the cache!

Out and about town and country and grabbing the odd cache along the way.
Very nice ponds in the middle of seemingly nowhere. Quick find, not easy to remain inconspicuous.
Thanks for the cache and thanks for bringing me here andywilliams

Found @ 8:24pm, find # 2718.
Another Friday night adventure with Biggles1024.
The first few were solo's as the other had already found the cache.
This was a nice walk to this one where in the end, the very bold hide was found.
Thanks to andywilliams for placing this this cache

Found in the company of the Walenators as the day draws to a close. TFTC

In the area today with BorisB&Natasha for another fun day of caching. No muggles about today so it was an easy find. Nice view of the pond here.
Cheers andywilliams for the cache.

Out for a fantastic day of caching with Nut bear today and managed to park close by for this one. A nice quick find and a lovely view of the pond while we sat and signed the log.
Thanks andywilliams for the cache.

A quick find in this rather nice corner of Koo Wee Rup. The log is very wet so might need replacing. TFTC.

Quick. Find by geo grand kids paper a little wetter TFTC TNLN

Lovely spot to sit by the pond & watch the bird life. Nice cache but pretty wet! TFTC

This was our final for the day, a brisk walk in the fading light and cold wind and the cache was in hand. It is the first time we have seen the combination of cache constructiion and location used this way - very imaginative.

FEEDBACK TO CO:- Log was damp - might need some attention in the form of Silica Gel.

TNLN . . SL . . Thanks for the hunt andywilliams.

What a nice day to grab a couple of caches...We found this cache after eating a packed lunch by the pond. A quick find which meant we could go and have a look at the disused rail line.
The logbook was a little wet but was still able to sign it.
Thanks for the cache

We were out and about today with SuperPop enjoying the unusually warm and sunny July day picking up a few caches on our way to lunch at Cowes. We managed to find an entrance to this cache just over 100 metres from gz but did enjoy the short stroll to gz admiring the ducks as we went. It didn't take too long at gz to locate the well hidden cache and add our names to the log
Thanks andywilliams for the cache.

Does anyone else find that their gps seems a little mad and sadistic at this one? Ours had us parked about 500m as the crow flies from this cache in a nearby court! Oh well a lovely walk to retrieve this one, clever hide! Thanks andywilliams for the cache!

On a trip to Phillip Island with Sully1, we did a few caches on the way.
Nice walk along the edge of the pond here, and a very brave hide was picked up quickly by Sully.
Thanks andywilliams for bringing us here

Parked the car near the entrance to the walking track and took the stroll along this most pleasant little area. A nice way to start the days caching. Cache was quickly spotted and logged, and bogonghazy and I were on our way to have a crack at the Bass Coast Rail Trail for the long weekend. Thanks to andywilliams for the cache.

This cache was found during a cache run with Blacklegend, Trailrunning and Rebel Acts (TDC). A nice variety of caches found with some really nice hides. With the weather a lot better today, with even a few breaks of sunshine, we headed out to join Rebel for his 10,000 th find. Congratulations and well done Eric - a huge milestone to acieve. Thanks go to the cache owners for the caches we found today.

Today was the day I was heading for my 10,000 find, no big deal really but I thought I better get it done to stop people asking me if I had reached it yet. Thanks for the cache.

Todays run was a lot "less wet" than the previous day. The Demoliton Crew today were together having a blast of a day caching, and to celebrate Rebel Acts 10,000 th find. Congratulations Eric, awesome stuff. With better weather, it was fun to clean up caches in an area we have been working on, on and off, for some time. My thanks to all cache owners for placing and maintaining their hides, without them, we would have none to find.

We parked in a nearby street and felt we were walking through someones property to get here. A nice easy find and we were of again to the next one. Thanks.
------
After a wet caching run yesterday I was glad to be out on a day that had some sun and only a few light rain showers. TDC members had gathered to take Rebel Acts across the 10,000 cache find line. It was a fantastic day, and to capture Eric pass the milestone, was a great highlight. In typical form, Eric made no fuss of it, no grand event to celebrate it. Eric is just happy to be out and about collecting caches, just one more. Thanks to all the cache owners for placing and maintaining the caches we collected today.

nice quiet spot to feed the ducks and log a find. Lozgur left a tracable.

Really nice area.son in law and the grandson fed the ducks,great cache.Dropped off travel bug dog tag.

What a lovely spot. Had the torches out as it was about 6.30pm when we went looking. There were heaps of ducks on the water, you could hear them even if you couldn't see them. An easy find. TFTC

First cashe I have done this is going to become a regular family thing

A revisit to Sybella pond. Hope it has a nice journey

Quock find. TFTC

A well made cache! I like the effort put into its construction. Thanks for hiding it.

After a brief but pleasant stroll along the path, we were at GZ and found this well placed cache. I liked the method of construction. Thanks to andywilliams for the cache.

Really Pretty Stop - nice to come back for a walk with the dog. Easy find - thank you!

Nice hide

TFTC

Parked my car in the car park at the bus terminus and proceeded on foot to grab a couple of caches. As I rounded the corner on the bike path, I spotted a family of muggles sitting right where I wanted to be. I continued on and sat on the next seat. No sooner had I sat down and the muggles were on their feet and moving away. I walked back and as I was sitting, a pair of dog walking muggles appeared. Fortunately they were soon on their way and as I groped around my location, I put my hand on the cache. Its a bold hide!
SL TNLN Thanks for bringing me here.

Easy find however the nearby natives have a clear view of the cache and whoever comes searching. Only hope they are into caching also. TNLNSL TFTC. Kems

Tftc

#3 for today TFTC nice place

Found @ 4.55pm, using the very helpful hint. Had our parents with us for the day, and it was Mum who found this one. Good job Mum! Wouldn't mind a backyard like this either! TFTC

Found today with geo friend. Too hot to sit too long, but fortunately a quick find. Took a bit longer to get it back. TFTC andywilliams

Last cache stop on the way out of town, a nice little walk in the park and soon sighted the cache location. Sat down expecting the usual hide and found something much more interesting. An impressive and rather large cache for this hide location. TFTC.

Nice easy one!! Beautiful sunny day for it.. TFTC

Found out with Bounty Trackers & Pau Pau & Co.TFTC

Geo Kiddy number 3, helped Bounty Trackers on this one. TFTC

Out caching with my niece ( aka Pau Pau & Co Daughter ) she spotted this cache but I helped retrieve it. Sl thanks for the cache.

Went out for caching day today
Beautiful park
Quiet here today
Found it
Thanks andywilliams

Ooops forgot to log our find the other day. We had noodles from Simon noodles in koo wee rup yum.

A lovely walk along the path got us to this one. A muggle biking couple out, but no one else. A lovely area, thanks for the cache.

Found our way in after the nuvi insisted I should do a 400 metre walk! Turned it off and then used the needle on the Oregon. Easy walk, no one about, pretty bold cache size but logged without hassle. We waited a short while and then continued home.
TFTC andywilliams

Found by Mary & David at 1500. A nice quick find on a lovely, sunny afternoon. Beautiful expanse of water and a few water birds paddling about. A larger cache than we'd expected to find. Our thanks to andywilliams.

Our first find today heading to a few events down the coast. After a nice walk the cache was found. TFTH...SL...TNLN

Found this one today. It was a nice walk to this cache though I went a different way from the way that was suggested in the cache page. Cache is a nice size though it still took me a while to locate it today. I signed log but didn't swap anything. I put the cache back together again as it seemed to fall apart on me releasing it from its hold and returned it to its hide.

Thanks for the cache andywilliams.

A really nice pond here and the birds certainly love it. Found the cache easily enough although it is a clever hide, thanks andywilliams..

This is a great new walking trail to this lovely little spot. TFTC

Great spot to sit and enjoy the Water Birds. Well i sat for 2 min. as i had more finds to get on the way to Phillip Is.

A nice quiet restfull place to day. Easy find. TFTC.
