Valley Lake #7 - Southern Stairs Keilor East, Victoria, Australia
By pwags on 10-Nov-13. Waypoint GC4RTMB

Drove over to grab the caches that we didn't try for on the weekend .... I surprised myself by not getting lost, and pulling up right by the steps where this is situated- or possibly not situated, as I searched and searched- looked at the hint and searched, read the logs and searched, looked at the photos and searched. Nothing. Not even the ghostly remains of nothing. In fact it is as conspicuous in its absence as I was becoming in my search. So I pulled the pin and went on to the next one.

Looks like this one has gone. Time to archive and free up the location for others to hide a cache near here.

This one took a fair bit of hunting. There were a surprising number of muggles, also, considering the weather. The log is also very full hard to sign.
This is an amazing area that I never knew existed. Thanks for bringing me here.
TFTC!!!

TFTC. Nice find scratching around. Requires new log.

No pen! Found by anon and geocatcherz

Sneaky find

Stairs stairs stairs!

Great find!

Thanks nice pines!

Quick find

Nice easy cache pretty area tried to hide the cache a little better ttc

Love is disguise cap. TFTC

Found it - no treasure - notes only

Not familiar with this area at all, so was surprised to find this cool little spot. Went to sign the log, but couldn't get my pen to work.. so will have to come by to log it again another time. Did leave something behind for the next finder though. TFTC!

Found by the Sniffer Squad featuring our furry geocaching hunters! Super fun find!!!

Finally. I swear this cache was not at this location the last time we were here. This was a simple walk up and find compared to the last time we were here.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks pwags for this cache along here. FInally we were able to nab it and i{'m sure we'll be back should there be other caches hidden along this area.

Very cool find

Whoop

Had to google what a pencil pine was haha.. Fun!

Lol i need to read the hint properly hahaha

What a fancy little stairway. I wonder if the overlooking neighbours are curious as to why the cache location draws so much attention. Haha. TFTC

Found a very nice ly hidden cache by pwags, just as a muggle , walked up stairs, was able to drop my GPSr so as to be distractive enough to stamp sign log and replace cache when he gone, again thanks pwags for the hide

Another find close to home

Yeahhhhboiiiii

Couldn't fit anything in there. And the log needs to be changed

Not as nano as we thought making it a quick find, still too small for us to leave anything! TFTC really enjoyed the view at night... Maybe a future real estate venture

Out and about for a picnic in Brimbank Park and picked up this cache on our way home.
TFTC

Nice n easy
Log needs replacing

found with geniejoan

Determined to fill my calendar with finds, we made sure that we found a cache today. We first tried number 3 in this series, but to no avail. We then progressed on to another cache and were lucky with this one! Thanks for bringing us here.

Very short of paper, so you may need to bring your own

Found it. TFTC. Nice little walkway.

Found with Genyo. Tftc!

Exposed! We fixed that!

Found it!! Hannah, Eliza and Kellie

Our first find

Found with Mrs Blue Duck. Cache was exposed so we signed the log and rehid it. TFTC.

Found it!

Quick little find! Cheers

2nd find. Getting my wife and little sister into it!

Last visit here I was impressed by the lake and surrounds. The rock wall 'netting' remains in the memory banks from the nearby Earthcache.
Today it was a short walk to find the cache a little exposed. it is covered better now.

#52 took a friend today

Log sheet full and in very bad shape, needs replacing.

Love the idea of the stairs joining the new estate with old East Keilor. Great view of the city from the top of the stairs. Thanks for bringing us here. Enjoyed the hunt for this one. TFTC

What a lovely winters day to grab a few caches in the area.
Easy find and a lovely view!!!!

Out and about with Jac888 on a cache hunt after dinner on Lygon :)

This is an interesting area, there are more and more like it popping up allover the place. Maybe I just notice them more that im caching??
Either way, Its a good use of an otherwise defunct space

Thanks Pwags for placing this cache

Out grabbing a few caches with ms-enchantress while I'm in melbourne on a work trip.

A quick find had the log signed and we were on our way.

TFTC

After a while of searching we finally found this cache! Really follow the hints and clues and you should be fine

Logsheet desperately needs to be replaced

Out and about with 80 Degrees for a short run. Have been to this area to pick up the others and needed to return to do this couple. Just love what they have done to this area. The life saver is doing a great job as there have been incidents reported here. Nice easy find here by Mr D. Needs new log book.
Thanks for the cache pways, love your setting

Out and about with xambo4u for an afternoon run. This was one of two at the lake we hadn't been back to do so today we parked nearby and Mr80 made a quick find. Cache desperately needs a new logsheet but found a little spot to sign. TFTC

The paper log is completely full and needs to be replaced

Out for a crisp winter's morning walk with the Geo Dog and Master Five on his scooter. After a quick look around, Master Five's eagle eyes spotted the cache and, with no-one around, we were able to sign the log quickly and pop it back. Tftc.

Quick find before work now onto the next cache in the area.

Found it while the sun was shinning.

Went for a walk for mothers day around this new estate and to take a look at the lake, and thought we would collect our very first Aussie cache since moving here in Feb 2015. After a little bit of searching cache was soon in hand. This will be the first of many

My mother in law and I spent a few minutes looking for the cache, but with a frustrated toddler who was trying to jump the stairs, we had to give up. Maybe next time!

Found with emthegem, TeamLauren and templetonteam. Took a little searching but soon had the log signed. Thanks for the cache.

Didnt take too long to find this one. Needs a new log. Tftf

Tftc. Read the clue and searched around using our caching eyes. After a few minutes emthegem pointed it out.

Found with doormatt and teamlauren and templetonteam. Had to search a bit but soon had the cache in hand

Geodad is at work for the day so what else can we do today. Geocaching of course. So we all get ready & head out. We aren't staying too far from here. Quick find today. TFTC

Tricky hide but good views out over the new houses .
Thanks for the hide.

Thought it was missing and almost about to give up when - we found it! Log is full. Needs a new one. Tftc

Nice hide

Couldn't find anything at this location today.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Found another one with a great view nice hide

Trying to cache in Suburbia today with a lot of difficulty due to muggles always being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Happy to say we found this one and were able to put our name in the lig muggle free.
Thanks for the cache pwags

Tftc, nice place for a cache

Easy find. Tftc

An easy find to start the day in a tranquil area. TFTC.

This estate looks like it's a place of half-finished things, this reserve is an example: great meandering stairs but nothing planted on the bulk of the reserve. Thanks for the cache here

Good hint

Great clue tftc

Nice easy find TFTC

I can't find it!!!!! ANOYYING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is my tried look next one who finds leave a picture of what it looks like

Took my girlfriend Geocaching for the first time and it was an easy find. TFTC

We think someone took it

The young people I muggled earlier told me this was missing. At first look I believed them but it was just hiding. Log is pretty full so I signed where I could. Tftc

Great hiding spot took us a while to find it but ended up doing it

Found the cache. TFTC!

Good cache because there is a few pine trees around.

A good place for a cache and unlike the last one a nice quick find and a good hint too. Thanks pwags.

After attending the Worlds Collide event nearby we swung passed these few caches on the way home.
Nice easy find here and a seat to sit on too!
Thanks pwags.

Found with Mum, Dad and Maeve.
Nice easy find here. Cool Spot!

Not where we expected! TFTC

We found this cache today at 2:35pm as number 6 of 10 on our Keilor to Mooney Valley Tour. The area reminded us of a mini Lombard Street. Thanks from D, HA and A B-A.

Quick and easy find thanks to the hint. TFTC.

We found it!! Due to recent rain the paper has gotten a little wet...easy and nice find!

Not too hard to find using the hint. Had to wait for a moment to retrieve due to a number of passer byers.

Out with Just-Lookin on a quick stopover before flying back to NZ - soon found the cache

A nice area to visit.

Spent the day in Melbourne with tmann421 while waiting for a flight back home.

Collected a few of the local caches and admired the views while in the area.

Another nice quick find for us here.

TFTC

Quite an easy find
Thank ya

With the GPS way off track we read the clue! The 5 year old O man was straight onto it. TFTC! An interesting part of town, which we wouldn't have been except for a family visit to meet a new wee one.

Quick find with Melbermans Tom today. What an interesting place for a new housing subdivision. Tftc

First find great day for it
