Unarchiving cache to facilitate rehabilitation by CO.

*We stopped by on regular maintenance run only to find that someone has trashed this cache.
A trio of recycled goods collection bins now reside in front of GZ.
Area behind bins full of garbage etc.
No longer a suitable place for a cache.
Outer box destroyed, padlock ripped off, inner box and contents nowhere to be seen.
Sadly, no other choice but to archive this great cache.
Thanks for the cache Dog-gone.*

Yuck! Too many dangerous looking items and that was just the muggles.
 
12-Feb-16
Couldn't see anything. Very unsafe. Used needles.
 
17-Jan-16
Bit of a dodgy place but got to get things lined up and the actual Devils number or the true one, that is the question. Discretion is possible even when busy. Concept is great.

In Melbourne for a couple of days with Joey Loves Treasure. TFTC. Smile
 
29-Nov-15
C-chord and I had added an extra night and decided St Kilda was the ideal place to spend it. We had hoped to catch a ferry to Williamstown but apparently it no longer runs. The secluded location made it easier to get this one with stealth. TFTC
 
21-Nov-15
Really awesome hide! Had us going for a bit! Cheers!
 
21-Nov-15
Thank you

Such a cool idea for a cache!! Dropped off a track able hoping to swap for another but there was none there Sad

Gabbys first Smile
 
07-Nov-15
Wandered to this cache from the Esplanade. On approaching GZ I saw the Farmer's Market in full swing across the road. Luckily the hide was out of sight! Picked up the TB that was in there for the next part of its journey. TFTC!
 
05-Nov-15
Best cache in a while was glad I didn't have to enter the car park and get my feet wet! Dropped turtle TB and picked up the other turtle TB tftc fav point

Found this one during a short walk. TFTC and greetings from the Netherlands!
 
03-Nov-15
Wonderful garden over the road! It's my last day in Melbourne and we came to St Kilda for brunch Heaps of glammed up people around heading to the Melbourne Cup today. Did a quick check to see if there were any caches nearby and this one was the closest. Perfectly concealed spot. Sadly only one of the six listed tbs are in the cache Sad TNLNSL TFTC
 
03-Nov-15
Found!! Tftc XD
 
24-Oct-15
There was a frenzy here tonight. Saturday night after a glorious day brings all the people out and they all seem to head to St Kilda. I went there to pick up some polish donuts. Was so disappointed as they had sold out, but I did see there was a cache nearby so I deviated to the location and was a lot more successful than picking up the donuts. As my hubby is an avid hobby pilot, I picked up the sea plane TB to take it on a journey. I enjoy these type of caches as they can hold so much. SL. TFTC

Nice hide! We give it a FP. Left two TB:s picked up in Europe.

We found this cache during our vacation in Singapore and Australia. It all started last autumn when it was decided that the GP Speedway would end the season this year with a race in Melbourne. We decided to go and later plans expanded.

Thank you n0w0rries for the cache!

Great cache and well hidden in plain sight, but unfortunately someone has decided to spray paint the lock, consequently jamming the middle number. Still able to be solved but we left the middle one on its correct number so as the next cacher doesn't have to spend 20 minutes fighting with the lock like we did. TFTC!
 
09-Aug-15
Green paint made it difficult to open but male half persisted. This was our second attempt.
 
08-Aug-15
Found it but couldn't open it:(
 
02-Aug-15
Easy find with Jimmytherat apart from the idiot tagger who spray painted green making it hard to get at! Thankfully had some handy tools. Left a creepy crawly. Thanks.
 
02-Aug-15
TFTC KrazyK. Nice easy find. Great placement. Great hint. Opened log container after some effort due to paint covering by an idiot vandal tagged. Jimmytherat with Noelle04.
 
26-Jul-15
Found during a brief St Kilda storm on my first visit to Melbourne. TFTC

First time we have come across this type of cache! Very clever! Decided we liked it so much we dropped a beautiful geocoin here that we found in Japan ! Favourite point from us! TFTC
 
24-Jul-15
In the area checking on one of our caches and stopped by here on the way past.
All good here KRAZYK:-p
Took the Sakura Sakura Geocoin and left a pen.
 
21-Jul-15
Had the code but it took a while to figure out how to unlock as I am not familiar with this lock type. Lots of muggles around too. Last attempt I managed to unlock. Good one.
 
19-Jul-15
Loved this one as it was in a totally unexpected place. Fruttybitz and kandyman

Taking the kids to Gruffalo's Child today. Parked nearby, located and unlocked. Tftc
 
10-Jul-15
We are visiting Melbourne for our wedding anniversary so what better way to celebrate than finding a few caches. We decided to take a tram ride down to St Kilda to find a few caches. We spotted something unusual and sure enough we had discovered the cache hide. We quickly accessed the log. We dropped off the "Titanic 100 Year Geocoin". A favourite point from us. TFTC.
 
10-Jul-15
Great idea for a suburban hide. Found relatively quick between muggles. Found the cache unlocked. The lock is a little stiff to get back on. Could do with some wd40.

The community gardens are amazing and the farmers market was brilliant. Wasn't sure what to expect considering this caches location. Well this certainly was not what I expected. Very cool. Loved it.
 
04-Jul-15
Our last cache for the night on our first night cache venture. Very clever and the hint is very important here. Found a travel bug and retrieved it. Favourite point added. TFTC
 
02-Jul-15
Devils number was important

Aha, our Earthbound children have played at the Peanut farm a few times, Nano played his first game ever here. I recall he spent more time watching planes than the ball! I was struggling to read today and was cursing myself for leaving my glasses in the car. I handed proceedings over to Lisette, stepped back and suddenly I was far enough away for everything to be in focus and things then clicked into place (thanks Lisette!). We quickly signed the log while trying not breathe in too deeply! Everything secured again we moved on, thanks KRAZYK
 
20-Jun-15

Some fun out for the afternoon grabbing some geocaches with Earthbound Chief. I nice quick find. Don't forget to bring a peg as the sewerage pipe is leaking. TFTC.

The two M's found themselves in Melbourne as a result of doing a good deed for Mrs M's Mum. Today was day 1 of the limited opportunity to do some caching. We couldn't resist a road trip to find Victoria's oldest cache.

This was the first cache of the day. Mr M slipped away from the St. Kilda market, whilst Mrs M took in the wares. As a cache of opportunity, Mr M had chosen well. Nice cache, not so much for the location, but then again, just across the road... Mr M had a good time looking around. TFTC KRAZYK:-p. Favourite point from us.
 
04-Jun-15
Found it! Nice cache!

Found it with Rayrefolies and Mr Buyniacs Smile

Audacious, ingenious and here comes another well deserved favourite. I was fixated on the off leash dog are while geopartner followed the GPS and saw this fabbo cammo. I suspect you are little devil! Thanx

I was in the area for my French class. I had some time to spare before class so I searched for this cache.
It took some thinking and stealthy glances, but I spotted something nearby. Upon closer inspection I saw how the hint came into play, and had the cache in hand soon after. TNLN signed log. Great hide in this busy and popular area. Thank you Smile

Well lucky for me a little brush with Satan in a past life helped me along.

The hid e was spotted from a little distance.

Some number crunching and we soon logged a smiley here.

No one the wiser.

Love caching with kids sometimes.

TFTC Smile

Ì could not reach.

But then my dad helped me out while I was playing with the hose.

Then we signed it.

Lots of fun.
