I was in the area today and noting the DNF's, I stopped to look for this cache. As a previous finder, I knew what to look for and where to look and the cache has gone.
CO hasn't logged on since April 2014 so it looks like yet another abandoned cache.

Gone but not forgotten!

Feral muggles at GZ. Decided not to attempt a search.

Almost got murdered in the park, and no cache. Upsetting.

Searched all round the playground but no luck

At the coordinates did not find anything

Couldnt find pretty sure we were in the right spot gardens did look new oh well better luck next time.

Looked but did not find maybe because the bark was re surfaced

Looked looked and oooh well dnf

Really sad, couldn't find it ❤ L

Think I know where it should be but wasn't there

Plants have been trimmed recently maybe its gone? Plus there was a few spiders

Had a good look around and after a few cuts and some blood could not locate this one.

Quick find, we buried it a bit deeper.

Enjoyed finding this with the help of our kids lovely surroundings to explore and wander through

Another one bites the dust!

Found on a marathon day with ScifiRulz and the Grouch. Bit of a prickly one, I left it to SciFiRulz with gloves. TFTC

Found as Nicnax with PapaGrouch and WeRAmused. Took a bit of searching to find this one, glad I had gloves in my caching bag, they made it a lot easier. TFTC

Nice quick find thank goodness considering its location.. tftc

Find number 1016 on 6 Sep 2014 at 1:03 pm.
Given how beautiful a day it is, we thought for sure we wouldnt be able to get this one, but upon arriving at GZ, there wasn't a muggle to be seen anywhere. As a result, cache was found and log was signed pretty quickly.
Thank you very much Von Doodlebug for placing a cache here.

Just found your other cache before and thought I'd try and find this one too! Both Smurfette and I found it after spending a few minutes of looking! We also found another Smurf too which I'll grab as I collect Smurfs! Also found a travelbug too which wasn't listed in here so grab that too! Thanks for the cache!

Awsome spot been here for years and never once would have known something was there..

Nice

Wardy!

Well placed we left our magic and tracker

Woo hoo. First find. Navigation was very accurate

Woo hoo. First find. Navigation was very accurate

Great cache for the geokids and geodog kids are now enjoying the playground

TFTC Doodlebug!

Followed a well worn geotrail in the dark and rounded the corner into the playground.
The cache was quickly located by dim torchlight and the log signed. Took nothing, left a frog eraser.
Visited some TBs. Followed the concrete path back out. Jumped the puddle.
Thank you for the cache Von_Doodlebug, second one of yours for us.

Well hidden cache. Would be difficult with kids around.

*LATE ENTRY*

Nice quick find - just how I like it - made easier as there were no muggles about this morning. Returned hide in my usual manner, under heavy leaf litter - found muggle activity only inches away from the stash.

One of our Frankston caches required some maintenance so Micaparamedic and Mrs Coffee decided to join me and grab a few other caches as well.
this was the first for the day and we took a short stroll from our car park in the brisk morning sunshine to gz where it was a fairly quick find,
Thanks Van doodlebug for the cache.

Found it! Cut my hand open

Found it! Cut my hand open

We did it

Lucky we had geo pup as a decoy as small muggles playing.

so prickly but a cutie park

TFTC

Fast and easy find with geograndparents. No pen, so did not sign log.

Found it

Was a bit of a challenge but found it in the end!

Haven't been out for a while, mini stingray is getting harder to motivate!
Beautiful day for it and another nice little playground close to home we didnt know about

Found today while out and about with the Geodog. We had a leisurely stroll to GZ where the cache was found and then we continued wandering around for awhile. Thanks for the cache Von Doodlebug.

No luck for us today. Couldn't find a pole near our indicated GZ and all hanging grass has been trimmed back. Thanks for your efforts anyway, you've certainly beaten us today.

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

Found 11:46, after a brief search.

TNLN, thanks Von Doodlebug.

There as been lots of work done in this area lots of pruning. Maybe worth checking it out but lovely little walk and park for the geo kids .

on the way to howqua and stay friends caravan park.

Nice hide.. TFTC

Gone

A lot of maintenance work has been carried out. No hanging grass and no cache either. Well not where the gps suggested the gz was. May need to check

Find # 1076 Found @19:38Hrs

A nice easy find due to the fact it was uncovered.

Nice little playground.

Chiefton.

Walked in through park, but saw a muggle sitting near GZ with his dog. Fortunately he left after a few minutes and I was able to make a quick find, retrieve a TB and move on. Thanks Von Doodlebug

Got it! Easy to find, don't relocate, perfect spot! No problem with the grass.

Was heading back from my parents farm after helping with their flower show this morning and since it was a magic day decided to find a few caches. This sure is a difficulty one. The council has trimmed all the bushes and they are now pretty much just "lumps" and you can see the cache as you walk towards it easily. Not sure how long it will last, maybe the hide needs a rethink? Log is still fine and easy to write on though. TFTC.

Very easy to find - the council has cut the area it is hiding in, so it can be seem from metres away with out even looking for it.

Could do with a bit of maintenance - the "rubber band toys" in it are perishing and the log book is a bit mouldy.

Was a nice walk from my place to the cache though.

TNLNSL

Nothing there!
Very overgrown grass!

Last one for the day and last one with davesaint1 before he returns to England tftc

Nice easy find but the log is slightly wet. Thank

Luckily no one around this morning in the pouring rain, only one silly person (me) TFTC SL

This hide could be out of bounds for young cachers searching in this type of grass as i can imagine lots of cuts on soft hands feeling around for the container. maybe next time a more friendly location,although welding gloves would do the job safer,, TFTC

Quick pick while out with Slink1 during the August Hunt. TFTC

found with Dunko on the way home after work TFTC SL

We found this cache today at 9:45pm as the 1st of 26 on our Langwarrin to Mornington Caching Day in company of Alansee. Originally going for #2 first and finding that we couldn't park near and needed to u-turn so we decided to go to this one first. A lot of places to search so resorted to the hint but Alansee still had the hint up from the other cache which didn't help at all. Went to the hint for this one of which there was none but as other searchers had found the co-ords to be out, we widened the search and finally located about 6m out. Usually in these cases, a tweak to the co-ords is needed to assist finders going forwards. Thanks from D B-A.

Found with Rabbito. At first we floundered but when we read about the coords being off (they are ) we went to a more logical place where he found it after we had searched for several minutes.

Fortunately there was no-one at the playground at the time.

Nice and quiet;.no muggles in the playground. Having a good run today. SL left smiley slinky.

Found on a TDC run, lots of laughs and good times had while out finding caches, We did a fair loop of the city tonight, finding some of the new caches published. Thanks Von Doodlebug for the cache.

Trailrunning, Rebel Acts and I hit the road for another of our regular night cache runs and this time we went all over the place. Starting out east we made our way south before heading back north through the city then out to the north east finishing up in Doncaster. A great night of caching with trads, a couple of multis and a puzzle found during the run.
It took a few minutes before TR found the hide. Thanks for the cache.

On a cold night in Melbourne The Demolition Crew did a quick circular run around Melbourne cleaning up all the new caches published recently. After checking the wrong side, I climbed down for a search and found the cache. Thanks

When I arrived at GZ the park was nice an empty, but after a little while a dog walking muggle appeared. I set off to complete the other nearby cache. The walk gave me a chance to read some logs. When I returned the park was empty again and I was able to find the cache quickly after switching sides. Just as I was placing it back I managed to slice my finger. Thankfully with my first aid kit in my bag I was soon on my way again. Thanks for the cache.

Out for a short caching run with Pea bear today & this one was next on the list.
After a nice stroll through this lovely reserve we arrived at the given coords. With having no luck we read the previous finders log and quickly realized where we had to be. Lucky for us there were no muggles around. After a bit of a search the very well hidden cache was found.
Thanks Von Doodlebug for the cache.

Out for a bit of caching with BorisB&Natasha today to pick up a few of the newer ones in this area we haven't got yet. After quite a lengthy search the cache was eventually found.
Thanks Von Doodlebug for the cache.

Found whilst out for a cycle ride in the rain. My 600th Cache, Yay.

The Co-ords were a little off for me. Judging by the trampled plants it may have been off for others too. There is no need to walk into the bushes for this cache. Infact there is no need for your shoes to even get dirty. Good hunting.

Not all that easy to find at night. M and S both search this area and came up empty. I decide to have a quick look and soon had cache in hand. TNLNSL. TFTC. KeMS

Out with stemicmitsar for another raid on the Mornington Peninsula. Took a little while to find this one in the dark but Steve triumphed. SL TFTC

Found @ 7:45pm, find # 2292
While on the way to complete the Black Hawk Down mission with Biggles1024, we stopped off at this one.
This one took a bit longer to find then the previous one, after looking in a number of places the cache was finally located.
Thanks to Von Doodlebug for this cache and all the caching fun.

On a night run TFTC

Very strange to not be able to fond this one... Tried a lot places as i thought my gps was playing up, then I found an empty zip lock bag that looked relatively new. May be a good idea to check up on this one.

Checked this evening, still in its original spot!

Thanks for a well hidden cache. SL
