Sorry everyone, I completely forgot to archive this one.
With school load increasing and time going down I unfortunately don't have much time to cache any more.

I might come back to it once school is over and will keep a couple of caches going but I don't think this one is worth it.

I hope to return to this great community when school eases off.

Found with Bogonghazy while having a clean up around Torquay on our way to Anglesea for a few days.
I spotted this on the ground next to a post, nothing attached to it that I could reattach it to anything. So I've returned it to the same spot. Hopefully it wont get picked up by any wandering animals. Thanks to defamily for the cache and the walk to get here.

We (G&JMelb) arrived here on holidays in Torquay last night whilst MMelb is on a School World Challnge trip and is currently in Cambodia! This morning we went to the Farmers Market and then of course had to vote (absentee voting is the best, no queueing!!!) We set off for some caching and got quite confused by the instructions on the cache page, there was no gap next to 34 Ocean View St so we then drove to the tennis court access point. A nice little walk to GZ and cache was found immediately (not sure it was hidden correctly) and then we continued along the track. We then found a track going back up to a road. GMelb followed it (whilst JMelb took photos) and discovered it came out next to 34 Spring Valley Drive (see attached photo) rather than OV St. Smile

Not being familiar with the area, the longest part of this cache was finding where to park !!! [xx(][xx(] Once we were happy we departed for a short stroll to the cache. A nice quick find. The log has definitely seen better days. It's damp and starting to tear, but I managed to add my name to the list. TFTC defamily. Big Grin
 
03-Aug-14
In the area so a little walk was OK. Spotted the cache as I approached. I must have been on the wrong side of the track. The log is a little damp too.
TFTC defamily
 
02-Aug-14
Found it! Our first Geocache. Due to recent heavy rain in the area the log list is quite soggy. I will replace it on my next walk in the track.
 
16-Jul-14
A quick easy find and bumped into some nervous bloke on the track further who was using "his technology" (his words) and we were "freakin'" him out by heading towards him. He soon disappeared muttering and sputtering to himself

Thanks defamily for the cache
Log signed & replaced. TFTC & smiley face Smile

Found! This was the seventh stop on our caching tour of Torquay by night. Found this one with the Pacman, Roads75, Frog_Lady, Geordiefamily, Lizbhat & Jacko83. This was a very quick find in a very open spot but then again I don't think you would get many walkers here. We did in between the puzzle series, a short detour from where we were. The cache container was on the ground when we found it. It had fallen off its spot, so after we had all signed it I replaced it back where it was with a little adjusting of the hanger.

TFTC Smile TNLN

Out caching with a group of fellow cachers on a group assault on some puzzle caches and any in the close vicinity. This one fell into that category. Quick find although we weren't sure if the cache had displaced itself at some stage. Looks to be a quiet area so cache seems safe in its spot. Tftc and the nice walk.

Meet up tonight with Geordiefamily, Nawal, Frog_lady, Roads75, Pacman, Buckleysbabe and Jacko85 to collect a few smiles in Torquay. We had just finished a nearby cache so we thought that a few of us would collect this one while we were here. TFTC

In Torquay for a Wedding Reception, had a bit time to kill before it started.
So as Normy once said "Never let a cache go by"

I reached GZ and found the cache after about a 5 minute search. I was happy that it wasn't too difficult as I was dressed in my suit.

TB "Scrat" Visited your cache whilst on his Great Aussie Adventure.

Got some time away from the kids to take a stroll along yet another great place to walk in Torquay.

GPS played me for a fool for a bit. I was looking at the obvious place, but... the wrong obvious place. Eventually broadened my search and voila.

Thanks for the cache and the excuse to see this pretty little track.
