Therefore as advised previously, the cache is being de-listed (Archived) to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

Nice easy find. We tried our best to work out the bonus but the log is wet and the front is water damaged and in pieces so were unable to complete it.
Yes an easy find...read the log, unfortunatly could only make out half of it ...it is unreadable...found out the building but not what to search for...maybe next I come that way I will visit same and finish this geo...thanks for the cache
YAY - found it today and what a great surprise at the end - loved it. Thank you for the adventure Scozza - the surprise at the end is brilliant and the Staff were curious but also incredible helpful
I'm still new to this caching game and this one blew me away. I found the cache easy enough and signed the log. The hint on the log sheet that there was something more to explore took me to a building close by and BOY - what a surprise! The Staff at the second stop were curious but very helpful and just smiled as I finally plucked up the courage to enquire. Thanks Scozza - loved this cache. What a lovely idea.
We spotted this cache easily enough but do you think the muggles would clear out long enough for us to retrieve it?!? Finally, after loitering a little we got our chance and discovered Part 2..! Oooooh, love the challenge here. A quick google told us we had just 12 minutes to get to where we had to go, find the treasure, sign it, and get out again before closing time. Yikes! We’re we up for it? You betcha. Off we went, but right as we turned the corner Mr2max spots a shop he needed to grab something from and suddenly he was gone. No drama.. I can do this! I ran the rest of the way, tried to look oh-so-casual as I went in and started browsing. Somehow I spotted the hidden treasure a lot quicker than I expected to, and that’s when I heard a voice call out “oh I see you found what you were looking for” haha, why yes We had a quick chat about Geocaching, one of the girls asked if there was a cache at the footbridge. She was thinking it was either drugs or a cache haha. She was happy when I told her it was a cache, as she’d been watching people feeling along in all sorts of places and walking away seemingly empty-handed and was unsure what was going on under there! All good, and I managed all of this with 2 minutes to spare until closing time. Yay! Thanks for the fun adventure, a fav point from me! SL (both logs) TFTC
Today I made a quick find, replacing my 2016 DNF log. Last time I found a smashed plastic box, and as this is listed as a small presumed that was it. Wrong! Today I found the cache, which is a micro, not a small, so that would have contributed to the confusion. Anyway, nice to change to . TFTC Scozza.
Taking a long drive on a family holiday to Merimbula and managed to convince everyone else to at least make a few stops along the way to settle my caching nerves at all the hides I was driving past without looking for.
I made this one a bit harder than it needed to be after somehow overlooking it on first sweep. After looking everywhere else I returned to where I knew it must be and sure enough saw it straight away, not sure how I missed it the first time. Thanks for the cache Scozza.

Found on a road trip to Bairnsdale with Geoturtle37, OzHockeyChick and Pinkpiggy7. A quick and easy find this morning, much to the consternation of PP7 who had been unsuccessful last night. LOL We had intended following the instructions on the log but time got away from us. Maybe next time. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache
Last one for the day, exploring your lovely city, after the event held here earlier today.
My coords had me two metres away, but Muggle Hubby's thorough examination unearthed this clever hide. Unfortunately we were unable to follow up the information contained within the log.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our entertainment.

Found during another road trip with Papillon4506, Geoturtle37 & Pinkpiggy7.
Had a quick look last night but decided to return in daylight to discover this nicely hidden cache.
Thanks for placing this cache here for us to find. Cheers

Arrived B/dale from GEE... no muggles around here which is good for me to find it nicely.
thanks Scozza

Finally got around to logging this one. Found with my brothers when we very first started, one of our most memorable finds - and also our first time being muggled (although we didn't found this out for a long time)!
Went looking with friend. There was 2 muggles nearby making it really hard to search probably
Will try again soon

Yay quick grab on our Tuesday movie date night. Dnf last time so glad to hop out and pick it up with jody1470. TFTC.
We were wandering around looking for potential places to eat and came across this cache as we crossed between streets at 17:00. TFTC
Picked this one up before heading back to Melbourne. Initially my GPS had me in the wrong spot, and then I passed it heading to the second spot but on the way back I spotted it easily. Signed the log but no time to do the extra bookworm part. Thanks for the cache!
With the pushbike for company,
there were no problems approaching,
or hanging around GZ
Where I quickly found this cache [^]
I didn't take up the offer of extra 'kudos' points
Maybe if you could make that an actual cache,
I would be tempted to go and find it

We tried this last Xmas holidays to no avail. Second attempt and we had it in no time.
3 gps units took us to 3 different spots. My Gps took us straight to the right spot. The cache was found quickly.
I'm not sure if the bookworm connection though.

TFTC. Quick park and grab. Today's a public holiday so not sure about the secret
Yay! Nice little cache to find on a Saturday morning. Eldest geokid is getting better at finding the "treasures". Nice bonus too Thanks!
Thanks for this great find. Nice to have something a bit different. Perfect cache
My GPS was jumping all over the place, I was so confused but eventually got there and after all the confusion I actually forgot to read the front of the log haha. Duh! Just passing through anyway, no time to do a second part unfortunately. Thanks for it

Quick find by Cracka1 while I followed by GPS the other way. Pity we can't do part 2.
The morning after our work-day in the area and we decided to fit in as much caching as we could before we had to return to Traralgon to relieve our babysitter. By this time, we'd found a place which supplied coffee in 'buckets' and were slowly awakening for the day. We weren't totally comfortable with the general area - two smokers stood puffing nearby so we waited until they and their clouds had wafted away before approaching the general infrastructure. The GPS pointed at two options, but as muggles approached and I stopped to look innocent, I spotted the cache easily from my angle. We read the cache's surprise note and decided to spare the time. Where it took us was beautiful!! What a gorgeous renovation, what an asset to the community, and I put my hand on the surprise the minute I arrived. Love love this. TFTC Scozza.
Edit: Happy to note this was my 900th cache! Luckily a goodie!

On a child morning in Bairnsdale...i thought...let's go looking for treasure...and i found it, i found treasure. Great hide. Log book was full but left you a new log paper so i could sign...tftc
We headed out today to find some nearby caches and this was one we found. A quick find. TFTC
Very easy find Signed and replaced where found hope it is where it should be as it is so easy to see. TFTC
Great find highly addictive best way to spend time learning the ropes with rollmatrix
Found with mummahbear77 Tftc... Showing her around and showing her different caches
An easy one while we took a break on the long trip home. Logged with 4maal at 11:05am.
thanks Scozza
thanks Scozza
It was smashed everywhere And no log book to be found. Just little pieces of plastic on the ground.
It was so fun can't wait to finish the second part unfortunately the library was closed when we found it
Great find to bad about the time can't follow up the other half until another day
Checked this one today and all is well. I removed the other nearby container, which did indeed look like it could have been a cache but was just some random rubbish.
