Looks like the tree trimmers or the weather have claimed this cache.

@23:24. I was out caching with Burge, Scarecrow_01 and Spartacus Al tonight. We searching high and low for this one but just couldn't find it.

Had a good look by the whole group from low and elevated positions with no luck.
Will try again in the daylight

Couldn't find this time.

I dropped past on the way to work this morning. I had to get some things done before Monday. I thought this might be a quick and easy retrieval but unfortunately I couldn't see it anywhere. I climbed up thinking I would get a better view but still nothing caught my eye. Perhaps the Autumn leaves were doing a good job hiding it. I'll try again another day.

Found with Fuzzej. Something a bit different and I like it!! TFTC

Ryanofoz spotted it and so it was his turn to retrieve. We both thought this one was creative and different. Very enjoyable.
TFTC

Needed to rope in an assistant to retrieve cache. Full of water but log dry in its bag.

Found by Facitman at 13:09
I have been close to this cache location more times than I can count but as life often gets in the way of caching it wasn't until today that I had the time and opportunity to make a find attempt. Happy to find the area near GZ deserted but a bit concerned about the mess around GZ. I fully expected to have a dnf but was quickly able to locate the cache. A bit of effort to grab the container but soon the log was signed and cache returned to the hide.
Thanks Sharnedog123

Mrs Hp spotted this one while I was checking the gps and I got the job of retreiving it. Now the hint make sense. TFTC Sharnedog123

Parked to the south a strolled through this nice park admiring the facilities here. Once at GZ I had to stop and just assess the area as there has been recent gardening and mulching. After weighing up all of the possibilities I started my search and it wasn't long before I had found the prize. Resting safe and sound in its wonderful hide. Contend were a little damp but log book is fine. TNLNSL. TFTC. Kems

First one ever. Was good fun.

Not too difficult but out of reach for my 8yo

Dunko and I found ourselves with an opportunity for some late arvo and evening caching today.
So after collecting Dunko we set off, along our route we found all caches we attempted without any issue, logged them and replaced as found. We enjoyed the types of hides and cache’s some we had to wait a short time for people to move on but that’s how it goes.
Our thanks to Sharnedog123 for the effort and placement TNLN SL

Slink1 and I found an opportunity to sneak out for some late in the day caching. So after mounting up we set off on our way to pick up a few in the local area. We were fortunate enough to find all caches we attempted without too much difficulty, logged and replaced them as we found them. We had a great outing and enjoyed the fun. TNLN TFTC SL.

Found @ 1:17am, find # 3076.
Another Friday night to the early hours of the morning, outing with Biggles1024.
We made our way over to this one and arrived at a tree, reading the cache attributes we then knew where we needed to look, with the cache spotted it was now time to go and retrieve the logbook so up I went.
Thanks to Sharnedog123 for placing this cache.

Find #1020

Out with Stemicmitsar for our usual Friday night/Saturday morning caching run. We targeted caches that had proven troublesome in the recent past either because we couldn't even start looking because of the presence of muggles or because we needed some special equipment.

Our GPSr took us to a likely object and the cache's attributes told us the remainder of what we needed to know. Steve spotted it first and made the climb for which I was thankful.

SL TFTC

Over this side of the city do run an errand & catch up with some family too...

Out & about enjoying some of the lovely places in between maddening traffic & endless muggles with Team Happy Pants... Thanks for bringing me here (I think)... Could have done with a corona after reaching this GZ...

TFTC!

After having dinner in a nearby suburb we thought we would come and find this cache. This was a fun cache to find as got to climb. Signed log and replaced. TFTC

Out a few with the brother and a mate doing the rounds tftc

Tftc found it with lukie1987

Out with the geokids (Hawkeye and Fairydust) between errands and if they were getting three books then Dad was getting three caches. This was number 1.

I really should have read that last line. Good thing I had kids with me. I still had to the the climbing though.

Thanks Sharnedog123.

Found today while out and about with the Geopartner and the Geodog. We had the whole park to ourselves and as we were approaching GZ I spotted the cache almost immediately. Signed log. Thanks for the cache Sharnedog.

Log replaced

Thanks

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

Out this morning with my son to find a few TB's to take on holidays with us. Found this one fast but the Geocoin was already gone. Like the last logs I found the log book drowned and so could not sign. TFTC

Loved this one ...nice park...

Saw it; got it; opened it: couldn't sign it! The log book is saturated and unsignable. The cache, however, is fantastic! TFTC I hadn't done that in too long!

My 50th find!!!!

After looking in many areas, finally saw the cache.
Was very difficult to reach but managed to do so in the end.
A very different container.

Log book was so wet that it was unsignable.

TFTC

A rainy day meant no issues with muggles today.
The coords dropped me right at GZ and I was able to spot it. A very nifty container!
Thanks for the cache.

Found the cache, log is really wet so may possibly need some attention but otherwise, TFTC!

Very nice surprise good fun

Spotted but could not reach. TFTC!

Had to climb a tree to get to it! Team work comes in handy. TFTC

Team work went a long way with this one. TFTC

Team work works well yet again
A little bit wet inside, may need a drain hole...
Log damp but signed ok with jeremy1991 & samy1991
Visited a Travelling soldier.

I attempted this one today but couldn't locate the cache here having previously seen it but not being able to reach it due to incorrect clothes. Today I couldn't find the cache so I didn't attempt to climb the tree - it may need an owner check.

Cache checked, cache fine.

Easily spotted but hard to get to.

Nice hide but an old fart like me could not manage the climb so have to forego signing the log. TFTC.

Pretty easy but yes needs a climb !
Cache 11 .. 1st for holidays
Mum just got back from her long trip via nz Fiji to Vancouver and return and had a travel toothpaste which we put in it !! Go Hawks Premiers !

Found 11:20:00 AM, after a brief search.

TNLN, thanks Sharnedog123

The saga of the defunct Geo-vehicle has almost reached its conclusion, with this morning's test drive of a replacement second car for the family. Unfortunately, this will mean I won't be able to pull the "commercial vehicle/viz vest" stunt, but such is life.

The rest of the family declined the offer of a caching run this afternoon, in favor of lunch at the Pancake Parlour with my parents; I dunno, some people... Oh well, I have the afternoon free, and the sun's shining.

Easily spotted at the moment; that will change over the coming weeks as the seasons march on. Getting to the cache itself was just enough of a scramble that I felt the rush of achievement. Cheers.

#2203

Despite being in my work gear I still did what was required to get to this cache. TFTC.

This one has been far too close to the usual drive home for me to ignore for much longer - And having skipped out of work a little early I had time to spare.

Parked in a nearby court and then enjoyed a quiet walk to GZ, chatting to some nosy dogs in the rather odd house extension en route. At GZ it was fortunately quiet, so after a girl passed by I ventured in to look for the cache.

Hmm... Well, this cache really does go to show that muggles simply don't look at their surroundings!! A few curses and scratches later and I had the cache in hand, signed at the seat and then cursed and scratched again to return it - All in solitude thankfully!

TFTC Sharnedog. A nice little challenge but not beyond reasonable expectations!

Love the cache location! Getting to the cache is perhaps not the greatest challenge at this location. It is patiently waiting for all the muggles to disappear so the cache can be replaced! TFTC!

Date: 23 August 2013
Time: 12:46pm
Find # 3100
Streak: 23 days

Wanting to keep the streak alive, I headed out with one of my muggle work mates to get lunch and to find a cache on the way. This was a nice little challenge in my work clothes. A quick find, but took a little longer to retrieve, but I did get there.

Thanks to Sharnedog123 for the cache. TNLN

Oh, I wasn't expecting it to be one of these ones. There was no-one around so I decided to try and get it, and was successful. Didn't notice a GC in there but maybe it was under the balloons. Felt grateful that I didn't break my hip or something - I'm getting too old for this! TFTC.

This was to be my target for yesterday's 31 days of caching souvenir, but the weather and traffic were favourable so I headed much further afield instead. Today - well... This cache seemed perfect, apart from one aspect I had forgotten until I reached GZ and saw what lie ahead for me... However, this proved an easier target than it appeared at first glance, and the miserable weather helped by keeping the muggles few and far between too, so I was able to successfully grab and log it without trouble. I saw a muggle coming as I got up to return it though, so an awkward reseat and nonchalant "nothing-to-see-here" GPS operating sham as they went past before the coast was clear and I could return the cache back to it's "hide" (at this time of year, no much camo but obviously it's successful as everything was in good order ) Nice to find tree-climbing caches that are designed for the majority, rather than the skilled and equipped! TFTC - and a favourite from me for the bold, but accessible hide.

Good one,needed my stretch for the day, tftc

Found with Listmaker today. We both at first dismissed the cache but when we couldn't find it, looked for more information and of course that was it. I scraped my hand in the retrieval but it will heal!

We came, we saw, we wondered if that could be it. A bit of a climb and a stretch by Alansee proved that it was.

Fun hide!

Thanks for the cache, Sharnedog123.

TFTC! Our first cache as husband and wife!!

We found this cache today at 2:30pm as the 8th of 15 on a Cold Winter's Afternoon. True to your word, this was both easy to spot and a bit of a reach. Methinks it was leafier when the cache was placed. Thanks from D & HA B-A.

Spotted almost instantly when I got to GZ. Liked the container

Had two attempts at this one, the first time I was muggled out by some kids playing in the large pile of mulch right near GZ so came back and hour or so later to find GZ deserted. Saw the container and was able to reach with a small climb and a stretch. Interesting container for this one. Signed and returned in peace, then a heap of muggles came through - got it back just in time! Thanks to Sharnedog123 for this one.

Found with Geodad,Geodaughter and Geodog while out on a lovely sunny afternoon. Geo dad spotted the cache and Geodaughter made the climb to retrieve. TFTC Sharnedog123

Looking for a cache on the way home from work and decided to grab a couple around here.
Cache is a bit exposed here in the middle of winter but I managed to get to it with the minimum of fuss. An elderly gentleman had his grand kids on the playground equipment, looked at me a bit odd when I climbed out of the tree.
TFTC Sharnedog123

Sometimes it's handy bringing kids. Nice hide.

Nice hide. It's very handy one to bring the kids along to.

Found 4:45pm , find # 2222
Had time this afternoon for a few finds.
This was the 4th of 5
Found the tree easily, and wasn't really bothered by the young kids playing at the nearby playground.
I couldn't see the cache, but saw where I thought it might be.
With some difficulty I hauled my old body up into the tree and examined the spot. No cache there, but looking around I soon saw it, just within reach.
I liked the way of attaching it to the tree, harmless and easy to access.
I signed the log and then descended the tree, glad that I could tick off another tree climb cache.

Thanks Sharnedog123.

Found it.

Tftc

Getting up was easy part extracting log etc harder and the decent just fall on yr bum!!!! No tb in here tftc

This was a date we needed to fill for our Project 366 and reading back thru the logs we decided this was a cache that we definitely needed the MMelb part of the team for!!
As we were walking towards GZ we could see some people climbing a huge tree and thought Oh No, I hope they are also cachers or we wont be able to do it!! However it turned out to be the wrong tree and so we were able to find this one in peace!

Sunday arvo adventures With Lachlan Telfer

As we parked saw Miss -Adventure crew walking back to theirs, Lani said 'they are probably caching' having no idea that they actually were. Upon going through the logs we found their image and remarked 'we just saw them!', it was awesome to be there seconds later.
I always enjoy climbing trees, great to get up in the air rather than scratching on the ground.

Woop woop tftc!

A quick tour of the neighborhood following some meetings at Chadstone. Spotted the cache easily, but had to wait out a muggle in a wheelchair before retrieving it. Very disappointed that this doesn't have the tree climbing attribute. I had planned on attempting the arbour nuts challenge at some stage in the future. Was able to sign the log and replace the cache quickly as school had just finished and I guessed that this walking track was going to fill up pretty quickly with school age muggles.

Found this one today but I hadn't noted the terrain rating and this will have to have special equipment and non-work clothes to collect it! I will be back......

#15 of 20 in a day of "putting CJ's body through a grinder". Found this cache with absolutely no issue, but I concur with other cachers - this one will probably have issues come late autumn and winter. Took the Kiwi As TB just in case this cache does get muggled - will move it on soon. The simple find was just what I needed - I was fast running out of time at this stage, and my resolve to hit 20 caches for the night had strengthened with this cache (despite my legs slowly turning to gravy). I pressed on towards Alamein station to try and pick up another couple of caches in the area. Cheers for this inventive one!

What a great little park. Left Kiwi As TB, but did not sight the other TB supposed to be present.

Took us a while. A good one to have sunnies on for eye protection

Pretty little park with the autumn leaves falling, still well hidden. Thanks Sharnedog123

Very cute and well protected, now but you might have issues with autumn and winter,

thanks Sharnedog123 [:x]

First find for this Tuesday night run with Whyt Knight. We had been in this area a few weeks back but as we hadn't refreshed the caches on the GPS we were using this one didn't show up. Tonight it didn't take long for us to find TFTC.

First cache for the night. Parked in a nearby street and walked to GZ. Nice looking cache.
TFTC.

Good cache, but the seasons are changing

A quick find by eldest geo son while the younger geo kids played on the playground. TB not in residence. tftc.

As this is close to home, I wandered in on the way home from another cache. Parked and had a wander, watching some croquet on the oval. Approaching GZ, I thought it must be there and it was. Thanks Sharnedog123. Now home for a beer!

We were out of town when this one got published. Now we're back and decided to grab it today. Thanks for the cache.

Find #907. Found @ 20:50. A quick dash out tonight for my cache box tick for p366. I spotted something out of place while shining my torch around which turned out to be the container. I wonder how this will fare in the months to come.
Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables.
Thanks for the cache Sharnedog123.

This place has really changed since we used to play hockey here. Left a TB. TFTC.

Went on a walk with son and grandparents this afternoon and loved this cache we took a toy and left a dinosaur.

TDC met up on our regular Monday night cache run. Tonight we were hitting the bikes and heading down Wonthaggi way to finish off the Rail Trail caches we hadn't done yet, as well as pick up the new caches that had been published since we were down this way last.
We managed to collect quite a few FTF's as a new run of caches were published along the trail tonight too just as we started our run. We bumped into Hazey1, Biger12, MrMcGee and Saulman1010 along the trail and we joined forces to finish of the FTF hunt together. A great night had by all and we have a good chat and laugh before going our seperate team ways.
A nice quick find tonight and thanks for the hide.

The TDC met up and travelled to the Wonthaggi and Inverlock area for an intended Rail Trail and general clean up, and were blessed with some great fortune with the publicaiton of a new section of the Rail Trail as we were en route. We were able to pick up about 16 or 17 FTF's for the night, some were Joint FTF's with some other cachers we met on the trail. In all a sensational night, with about 55 finds, a stack of FTF's and as usual some great company and laughs along the way, sensational.... Thanks to all the cache owners for their cache placements on the night.

Found easily, but in winter will be very easy. TFTC.

Found on another Monday night TDC run, tonight we were caching around Wonthaggi area. This was an easy find, will be even easier soon it is Autumn and we know what happens then. Thanks for the cache

Last one on a long FTF run with The Demolition Crew near Wonthaggi. Nice easy find, which will be alot easier once all the leaves fall from the tree. I suspect it will be muggled soon thereafter! Thanks.

Enjoyed finding this one had a bit of a chuckle when we found it thankyou!

Published

Yay *FTF*
Very close to home. Took a few minutes but then made the find. TFTC.

So close to FTF. Beaten by 4 minutes! TFTC

Tftc! So close to being FTF! Missed it by 4 minutes! Red shirt guy... We saw you!
