Hi everyone. I am very sorry but I will be archiving this geocache as of now because it is currently too hard for me to maintain, as I am too busy to do so. I am sorry for the inconvenice, happy geocaching.

Part of a cub group, the kids loved this one. Part of 1st Doncaster.
 
30-Oct-13
The plans had been made and we picked up half Mrs Coffee and headed off for an early meeting with Alansee and Phetlern for a big day doing the Bay Trail Series and we have to say we had a fantastic although tiring day wandering through some great coastal scenery and finding some great hides along the way.
We apologise for this generic log but finding so many caches in one day they tend to blend into each other and it is hard to remember them all individually but we did enjoy each one.
We took a break from the series to stop and pick this one up, we must say it wasn't a walk on the wild side for us today.
Thanks joshrat10 for the cache.
 
30-Oct-13
Headed down to Dromana with Mrs. Crackers to meet up with Alansee and Phetlern
for a days caching around the bay.
Thanks joshrat10 for the hide,
Regards The Coffee's.
 
30-Oct-13
What better way to spend a Wednesday than on the Bay Trail. Teaming up with Alansee, Team Crackers and The Coffees (using the alias PACC to best utilize the micro log space), we began the adventure at Rosebud West and headed toward Safety Beach.
We apologies for this generic log, knowing we would have to repeat ourselves and maybe risk giving too much away.
For us, riding the Equestrian Trail yesterday, proved to be the perfect warm up for today. The variety of cleverly presented hides with truly professional attention to blending them into the surroundings was amazing. Matching the songs to the locations added another element to the fun and enjoyment of the series.
Without wanting to breach the copyright of Paul Simon, could we dare to suggest someone pen lyrics to "Fifty Ways To Hide A Bison"!

Found in the company of Phetlern, Team Crackers, and The Coffees (PACC). We were very glad to have done this not only out of the summer season, but also mid-week. Even so there were a surprising number of muggles at times.

Found @10:06 #3164
Been keen to start the Bay Trail for many months now and finally the day had arrived. Team up with my caching buddy Ahomburg for the attempt and after starting a little bit later then originally intended we on our way. With the number of high quality and varied challenging caches on this side of the trail we were only able to complete half the trail today, turning around at Rosebud and in all a total distance of 23km done today. Along the way we bumped into Landsergruppe & The Swaggies who were also on the trail. We team up for a couple of the caches which was good and some were not so quick to find. Due to the number of caches found I apologies for the generic log today. Overall a very impressive trail awesome work done on all the caches found.

Not part of the Bay trail but a hide which took some searching and helped by the hint.

Find # 3216
Streak: 60 days

My caching partner in crime SedgwickDave and I had decided to head for the Bay Trail on the Mornington Peninsula. The weather was looking great, so off we went. Apologies in advance for the generic logs, just too many caches found today.

I figured I knew where this would be straight away, but alas I was completely wrong, It took a while and the use of the hint to locate the sneaky little cache.

Thanks to joshrat10 for the cache. TNLN

Arrived at GZ and had a good look highs and lows before the sneaky little hide was spotted, now a retrieval plan was made and we had cache in no time. Signed log and replaced in it hiding spot Wink

Oh what fun, trying not to look obvious and yet if anyone saw us they would think we were pretty odd. The things you do for caching. Tricky location tftc

Quiet1_au spotted this cache from below and then came up to retrieve it. It was very rough weather today - this even made the news. (the rough weather, not our geoaching find). TFTC
 
18-Aug-13
As lochb and I approached GZ it was clear where the cache should be but to locate the exact spot I took the low road and she the high and I spotted it, thankfully in an accessible spot as the creek is quite high with the stormy weather pushing seawater over the beach and into it. We were lucky the the weather wasn't the best, and it was fairly early on a Sunday, as this kept the muggles away so I could extract and replace the cache without any issues. TFTC

Sheppythekid and l took a walk on the wild side, the bay was lumpy, went to the center, needed go go gadget arms, couldn't find. Then from the bank, I could see the bottom of the package, sheppy jumps up, mission impossible style and retrieves the package, throws to me for signing, and then replaced safely. Thanks for a great little cache, Bwbandit

@17:51. I was out caching with Burge, Big Blank, jman24, Water Monster and Trish Fish today. This was one of only a couple of DNFs for the day. Despite searching all over and under for this one we were unable to make a find. We'll have to try again on a future visit.

After a thorough search of the area yielded nothing the decision was made to move on and return on another occassion.

Today our caching team consisting of GazaC, ABL973 & Square_pegs and myself were on a mission to find as many as we could of the Bay Trail series.

Was a quick find along the trail but it took a simian to put it back properly. My thanks for the hide joshrat10.

I drove down with my bike on the back of the car, to find some of the Bay Trail caches, and a few others along the way. I must have left my caching brain at home. There were many interesting finds, but more DNFs today than I've experienced in weeks.

This was an easy one, which I appreciated a lot. T4TC joshrat10!

Found it. Wintery (rain) conditions are going to make this GC tricky for the shorter armed. GC is now a little more off centre.

A couple of months ago, I began to notice the emergence of some new cachers called BorisB&Natasha and Pea bear. After their first couple of caches came out, already the geocaching community knew that they were on to something. They'd struck gold. They had a sick sense for hiding caches, which was going to be absolutely brilliant for the community at large. Every cache they produced seemed to rake in favourite points as well as great logs to stand by them. Fast-forward a few months and I noticed 60 odd emails telling me about new caches 50km south of home. I clicked on one of them, and quickly noticed who the owners were. Immediately I realised that we were in for a real treat here.

Fast-forward another few months and I was finally graced with an opportunity to come down and give the series a go. I had just received a Garmin Oregon 600T for a demo from a local store, so I was extremely keen to see how it would go on the trail for a long day.

We arrived at Stanley's Retreat at about 10:30am and set off on our bikes shortly after. After a long day we eventually found the final cache at about 6:30pm. This power trail/series is without doubt the single best one I have ever done - no question. The quality of every hide, the beautiful area - it all just adds up.

This was the 5th find of 67 finds today found at 11:00:00 AM, my second biggest caching day to date. I apologise for a few of the generic logs, my note-taking skills are not very good so I can't quite remember all of the finds.

This one was a tricky little find for sure. Having two men on the job made it easier.

Thanks joshrat10

Spent the day caching with the Walenators. Arrived at this one as the sun was settling into bed for the evening. It was a bit of a walk on the wild side in the fading light with muggles sneaking up on us through the gloom. Got there eventually. TFTC

We picked this cache up, at 11:01am. Our second find not in the Bay Trail series but one of the most adventurous of the day. I have to admit once the cache was located, and I failed to 'make the find' from above, the reigns were handed over to the less experienced, but more agile Miss Jeffany to do the retrieval and I was one photographer duties. No photo for the log I'm afraid as we wouldn't want to give away the hide!

The original plan was for Miss Jeffany and I to do this whole of the Bay Trail series, but we only ended up with half of them..... this time (plus five extras). Thanks for the cache and the adventure joshrat10!

*LATE ENTRY*

Picked this one up whilst on the hunt for the Bay Trail series.
It wasn't until a few days later when I realised it wasn't part of the PT Red Face Nevertheless it was an EZI find towards the end of the day - bold placement BUT a cool hide.

Many thx joshrat for the hide.

Out with Biggles1024 for another cache run to Point Nepean and back.
Once we were at GZ we started to look around, a short time later the cache was located then it was the matter of retrieving it. After accessing the situation there was only one way to get this one so off I went, I was able to grab the cache and then passed it to Mark for the signing and then I replaced it before making my way back to solid ground.
Thanks to joshrat10 for this cache and all the caching fun.

Out for another assault on Point Nepean and the southern end of the Mornington Peninsula with Stemicmitsar.

An interesting hide. [;p] It didn't take too long to find it but retrieving it took a while longer. The container is no longer a sistema and the T1.5 rating is too low. T1.5 is only one step above being wheel chair accessible and so this cache is at least a T2.0. SL TFTC

Amused a local council worker who was whipper snippering nearby. We told him about the game, seems we didn't make a muggle into a geocacher but he had a chuckle as I braved the elements to make the grab with the nice new logbook. Thanks for the cache joshrat10.

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 hide here, and a nice location and structure at GZ. Thanks for bringing us to this one. Enjoyed it. TFTC.

I headed out tonight for a Monday night cache run down the Mornington Peninsula with TDC mates Trailrunning, Rebel Acts and Blacklegend. Roostaman, from Wagga, had travelled down for Rebel’s event on the weekend and joined in for the nights caching. We started with a few caches up north in the Rebel’s territory before making our way down to the Peninsula all the way to Portsea. Once again the weather was perfect and quite mild and we all had a great time.
We made our way to the cache hide, a little bit trickier seeing it was dark now, but with plenty of torch light we made it to GZ and soon had the cache found and the log signed. A nice hide and well done. Thanks.
 
11-Feb-13
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. Was not sure what the go was here just sitting there, I replaced a temporarry log sheet in to the container, dont know how it has not fallen into the water. Thanks josrat10 for the cache.
 
10-Feb-13
an awesome find, thank you for the cache! Had a little trouble at first but eventually found it.
 
09-Feb-13
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.

I wonder what this area was like it was called 'Shark Bay'? Seeing Sharks swimming about would have impressive.

It didn't take too long before we spotted the cache so while we waited for the nearby sailors to do what they do, Square_pegs and I took the time to workout how we'd get it. Attempt #1 failed so it was up to me to make attempt #2 more successful. It made me smile when I extracted it but I kinda felt I was being watched....after signing the log and returning the cache we were making our exit when we were asked if we were geocaching. Hi Joshrat10...it was nice to meet you. Thanks for hiding the cache here and for the local history lesson. I enjoyed the challenge of getting to your cache. A favourite for me Smile I look forward to finding more of your caches.
 
09-Feb-13
The beach along here is beautiful and it was certainly a perfect day to visit. It took a little bit of maneuvering, but using our second approach method we were able to reach it. It was great to meet you joshrat10. Thanks for a well placed cache.

Cache floats Smile Bit of team effort to get this one and retrieve it (twice...) but cache was found and finally replaced...thanks.

Cache floats!!! As we found out by accident. All good - its dry now!!! I didn't approach this in a terrain 1.5 way but it was fun!!! A fave for the monkey business and the floatability!

After doing another cache in the vicinity we decided to have a look at this before we dropped Pea bear home. The sun had just gone down so that meant no muggles except for two men fishing a bit further up the beach. With the aid of a torch Boris quickly spotted the cache. Unfortunately our torch drew their attention & one very drunk man approached us & told us we needed a fishing licence. Boris went to talk to him while Pea bear & I quickly retrieved the cache, SL & replaced it before he got back. This has to be one of the weirdest experiences we've had while caching. Thanks joshrat10 for a very entertaining & well placed cache.
 
12-Jan-13
Was at work when the notification for this came through. Being so close to home I had to go and do it, so I rang Boris&Natasha to see if they wanted to join me. We took a walk on the wild side and retrieved the cache. Being approached by drunk people acting like they were parks and fisheries officers was a little strange. TFTC. Smile
 
12-Jan-13
2TF 4.30pm We had not long arrived at the holiday house and had unpacked and we were relaxing and the phone went bleep.... 11.3km from the HH, do we go... Why not!!
So we set off and arrived to see a "suspicious looking character" with the goods in his hand who saw us approaching with our GPS. Great to meet you Team Oaky! We chatted for a while then noticed someone else watching us .. He approached us and it turned out to be the CO's father. We chatted a little more and then decided to head to another nearby cache which was recommednded by TO.
So although we didnt need to go on the Wild Side we enjoyed the cache all the same and the opportunity to meet a local cacher.

[Purple] Doo do doo, doo do doo, doo do doo

[/Purple]


It was only a few weeks ago while driving past after finding “Stanly’s retreat” just up the road, that I thought that this spot would make a good spot for a cache and here I am a few weeks later finding one.

Shorty after arriving at GZ I looked at the attributes then the cache name and then the terrain level, hmmm something doesn’t add up. So I made my way to the bank and spotted the cache pretty much straight away, hmmmm surly with that terrain level I should be able to get the cache with out to much trouble, just a matter of timing the Muggles right. Well managed to time it and just managed to reach the cache. Found a spot to sit down and sign the log and wait for an opportunity to replace it, after a short time there was a lull in the muggle traffic. Right go! But just as I got to GZ again I noticed another team of caches heading towards me (big grins and phones/ GPS in hand dead giveaway) as it turned out it was Team GJMmelb just arrived for a weeks holiday. After introductions and discussing how to try a get the cache back, we noticed a group of people on the beach with that same grin. Well it wasn’t long before one of them walked over and introduced himself as part of the CO team. Ah this is the best thing about finding new caches, you sometimes get to run into other cachers.

I now know how the cache was supposed to be retrieved so may I suggest reversing the Terrain/Difficulty but apart from that another excellent cache for this wonderful area


Thx Joshrat10 for a brilliant first cache and thx for the mini event and chat everyone


[teal] Merci beaucoup

Cheers Big Grin
