I've messaged the CO, but I think he's left geocaching.
This one's pretty bad.
If it get's archived, I'll remove it.

I really need to get into the habit of checking logs before i travel to caches. I stopped looking after seeing this as i have my 3 year old with me.
This is the most disgusting cache I have ever found. With the previous logs I don't know why the CO has not come and attended to it.
Didn't touch this cache when found totally exposed, opened and very dirty, possibly poo that previous logs have spoken of. Logged on a ferry ticket we had in the car and put it on the lid. Walked away disgusted.
Found but is full of poo which is kind of disgusting, there was a trackable in here so we retrieved and washed it (many times...the things we do for geocaching...) and will move it on 
Disappointingly has been compromised by muggles. They have poohed in the container
A quick and easy find by Geoson on the way home from school. We swapped some swags and dropped off a TB. TFTC and showing us another nice park.
SJK bush kindergarteners were very excited to find their 2nd geocache. 'Dinosaur marks the spot' clue kind-of threw us as we were unable to find anything that resembled a dinosaur around the area. However, easy and fun find. Thanks!
Out with kbdqsquared on this glorious day.
Sent the geokidlets I front to find this fun cache. TFTC

Love the stickers!! The Geo kids were super excited! Thanks for the find- swapped a knick knack for a knick knack!
Thought I would take advantage of a long weekend in Melbourne and got out the bike, intending on collecting a couple and then going home. 8 hours later!. Liked this little hide and the park is excellent. TFTC
Found with Nanton34 and Eighth Knox on a night out. Walking from some nearby caches it was a sort search for this cache.

One of the quickest finds of the night the hide was spotted from about 3 metres away. A good size cache but no size of the dinosaur. TFTC
This one was the quickest to find on a cache run with nanton34 and Whytknight. We were thinking at this point that we were racking up numbers with so many close by. Tftc
This is one of a few trads I've neglected to log as at 27/1/16. It was interesting to read the informative signs in the area. Would never have guessed the area's squalid history. Like others I failed to detect any dinosaurs, but the cache revealed itself fairly quickly. Thanks Cookie__Monster!
Picked this one up in the rain today after the ridiculous heat of yesterday. Wandered in and made the find quickly, as the 'usual gz' description suggests. Collected the TB which I needed and made my mark in the log.
Thanks for the cache, Cookie_Monster.

I had been here before and didn't find this one but today I walked right up to it. Surely the daylight wasn't that necessary. I don't really have an excuse but happy to tick this off the list as I have found most others in Bayside. Parked nearby, avoided a smoking muggle near the scout hut and headed towards GZ. My GPS battery gave out but I knew where i was headed and soon made the find. Dropped a TB that I had picked up earlier today and wants to stay local. Signed log and returned looking to conceal as best as possible. Thanks for the cache Cookie_Monster.
New Years Day morning and it seems that not many people are up and about early, so this would be to our advantage and we'd cache towards Sandringham area.
This was a nice quiet one, easy to find and return, without the likelihood of being muggled. With the log signed, we were on our way to the next cache.

#933 Today is a P366 day and we've been missing plenty of them over recent weeks 
. Passing by after trying to find another in the area and although starting to get low on light thought we'd give this a go. Found without too much trouble (the phone was being fairly accurate for a change, despite the trees.) Didn't spot any dinosaurs but I think a few mozzies might have found me. SL. TFTC Cookie_Monster.

A nice quick find here. Replaced log. Thanks for adding to the enjoying of this trip.

Didn't see any dinosaurs but did find the cache. Clever hide and a tricky one. Found it by stepping on something that didn't quite feel right. SL tftc
Was out here looking for too long, then all of a sudden it revealed itself. Not as simple as it first seemed. Although we didn't see any dinosaurs, then again I'm blind as a bat. TFTC
Being in the area trying to avoid some of the D1.5 T1.5 hides we headed over to this one. It took a little while to find as we were not expecting an old school type of hide. We completed the signing duties and re hid TFTC.

Nice easy find today. As my son was searching he heard something not quite right when he stepped. Thanks

Out and about today doing some chores for MuggleWifeDoes and found myself down near the bay and a heap of unfound caches. Hmmm, what should I do.... Yeah, I need a fix...
This one took me a while today, just couldn't put my finger on it but eventually spotted it.
Thanks for placing this cache Cookie__Monster

I had a quick look but didn't really enjoy hunting through litter and judging by the previous logs I felt the odds of it being there were limited.
No good for me either. I found the likely area but just couldn't make the find. Thanks anyway. This isn't too far out of my way so I'll pop back in the future.
Out and about with Echidna44 for the day., We picked the right day as the weather is just right and it seems to be a long time between searches. A little embraced to admit that we could not find any trace of this one today. We referred to the logs and hint and most of the finders say that it was out in the open.
Thanks anyway Cookie Monster, we will keep an eye on this one

Easy find! Next person bring some paper or a note pad as there's not much paper left (:
Found the large new container very quickly while do a bike based caching run through the area. TFTC
We had a few Archibald puzzles solved, so BettyBoo3747 and I did a bit of a caching run around Ricketts Point, grabbing the odd caches as we went though the area.
Found the cache but not the dinosaur! (unless a 2 liter sistema is considered one in these days of micros?)
It is a nice little park though.
Thanks, Robmc.

# 7414. Robmc and I had intended to go snorkelling with guinea pigs down Ricketts Point way today but awoke to some light rain and a grey windy day so converted it into a caching run down along the Bay.
Oh dear it seems the dinosaur was decapitated and extinct by April 2014 at least, and today we suspect the large container is not where it is supposed to be. We found it behind the wire fence but on reading some past logs I assume it should be nicely hidden at the base of the large tree or somewhere similar. We replaced it as found but it is in plain view.
Thanks Cookie__Monster

The cache wasn't hidden but I am presuming that is is designed that way. Dinasaur not located. SL. TNLN. TFTC
