First find!

Found the spot but it was empty

That was tricky. Once GPS settled and I read the hint I found the hide with no protection. Just a small piece of paper with a few logs on it. Signed and returned as found. Clever hide in a fairly prominent place.

Cache not there just scrap of paper. Nice view.

Great find

There was only a piece of paper at what most likely is GZ, no cache container or anything else. A check by the owner might be in order.
TFTC

The cache is not there anymore

Clue helped a lot

Great view had fun

Great spot! Wish we brought lunch here. Stunning view

Cache has finally been replaced I'm so glad but I forgot a pen today as I was just out for a walk with the dog and decided to check if it was there and it was thanks to the person who replaced it

Found spot. Still no cache

The hole is still there but the cache is missing...

Found the spot but no cashe inside

Found the site but no cache. Shame.

Found it but no cache

I have found this coach before and returned today to show my partner and was quite sad to realise it seems to have been removed not sure if it was the council or someone just trying to destroy the fun

Great hide but no cache. Excellent view!

Steve & Erin going on a weekend adventure to see what wonders lie upon our caching path )

Cache needs maintenance !!!!

Found where it's meant to go but cache not there.

Cool hiding spot but no cache

As mentioned in previous logs, cache not there.

Found where we think it might be.

Found where it should be but it's gone

Found where the cache should be but it's gone. Confirmed with a previous finder I was looking at correct container so will log the fund and log a maintenance request

Squashtastic!

Found today whilst checking out the earth cache out. This was a very neat hide which just needs a bit of maintenance to bring it up to scratch. The log is still full of swear words and is very moist at this stage.
TFTC me-again.

Log wet very wet and some horrible profanities. I would suggest the CO take a new log and bag to put it in.

Intetesting hide.

Grabbed on the way home from the NP. This is a bonus for a day out with the Swaggies.

Nice view. Found by no1 geo son. Feel like a hot drink now. Tftc. Loved the container and the camo. Great one!

Fantastic hide. Alas the log is quite soggy and I would recommend replacing it as there are swear words written on it. Unfortunately I didn't get to appreciate the view as it is shrouded in cloud today but I can appreciate the cache all the same. Well done.

Finally found it

A quick rest stop prior to tacking the famous "1 in 20" cycling climb up to Sassafras was the perfect excuse to look for this cache. Love the container; haven't seen one like it before! TFTC

Moist log full of profanities.
Muggles joined us asking "are you looking for the geocache.

We loved this one, pretty easy but awesome location!

Great effort to hide it. I like the hint and it is a beautiful view !

Having strolled to this spot for the sake of the earth-cache, this one almost escaped my attention until I was about to leave. I had actually caught sight of it long before I even knew there was a trad to find, but this didn't seem to help when I finally started searching. Very impressive camouflage indeed. Impressive that it remains in place after several years in a location like that too. Thanks me-again!

Another great piece of urban camouflage. A favourite from me.

Out on my own today to enjoy this lovely area. Having done a bit of a walk in the Danenongs I was clearing out a couple on my way home. On arrival at GZ came across 2 fellow caches doing the earth cache. It took no time at all the pick up on this one. Excellent hide, have seen similar style to this but well executed and great container. It gets a favourite from me. Nice to meet you guys, hope you worked out the cache.

Tftc awesome as hide never seen one like it. Gets a fav from us

Muggles have completely ruined this. Signed one of the fragments of log and placed wherever I could. There's no container or anything. Needs full replacement. Thanks anyway

After checking the logs, returned to the cache site and placed ruined remnants of log into its well hidden container.

Found @14:34 #5195
Very nicely done. [^] However the log is damp and there are signs that maybe some muggle kids have found it too... Great spot for a cache and impressive views. Another favourite from me.

TFTC me-again

Good find

What an excellent cache!!

Found with Jaris!

We absolutely loved this one! Such a creative cache and stunning views. We decided to stop and have a look at the view for a while before heading to the next spot. we live so close to here and haven't seen the dandenongs like this before.

Took a little while to search but after seeing the clue and reading people's comments a really great cache. Definitely one of my faves so far

Heading home after a day driving around the hills. Very cleaver hide.
TFTC

The weather looked promising today, so myself and Mudbrick headed out to Dandy ranges, rain, hail or shine. Sun was out most of the day and it was warm and humid amongst the mountain ashes and gigantic ferns. A great day all up and love this area!

Brilliant view here and a great hide - a fave from me - thanks!

Found this with Jacko83 on a great days caching, thank you for the cache & the view, worth a favourite.

Excellent hide! Very scenic spot. TFTC

Found by The Empire @ 12:05pm
Find number 4 of 7 on a lovely drive through the Dandenong Ranges. Running-in my new car... That's right - the Jeep is gone and in it's place is a shiny new 'beast-mode' Patrol. Great spot! Thanks for the cache me-again.

Awesome cache.

Tftc its a great container

Best cache I've seen!

Ace

Bahahahaha I walked past this sooooo many times!! Excellent hide! Love the creativity! It really is a beautiful spot! I grew up around the dandenongs and it's nice to be back to visit. Thanks for the hide!!!

Nice Easy Find. The clue gave it away.
Was going to leave Greendragons 10 Year Tag but it would not fit into the container. We will have to find another cache to leave it in. TFTC TNLN

took us a while, very cheeky spot. Found with my Geobuddy

Hard

A great one.

Brad was here! (>_

Too hot for noodles today! 2nd for today. TFTC.

Great cache!!!

Dandybar found, easy to find. Amazing view

Terrific effort. Loved the view.

Brilliant great effort TFTC looked with geoBoyfriend thankfully because I kept walking straight past it ☺️
Happy hunting catchers

Found with geogf, great hide,

Took us a little while but we found it!! My favourite find of the afternoon- local, but had no idea this park existed. The view was beautiful!

Found with Mansgirl. TFTC. TNLNSL.

Great fun hide - found with davidman tidying up the spot

Out for a couple of quick caches this afternoon to break the monotony of working at home.
Very clever hide. Here to grab an earthcache for a souvenir and as I was about to leave I realized there was another prize to be had and a very good one it was. Had me thinking for a bit.
Thanks for placing this cache me-again

Well I don't understand it, but Faulksi and I could not find this cache today. Perhaps the satellites were on a go slow or at lunch or I'm going blind, or this is a great hide and judging by the number of favourites, I think that must be it.

Found it - what a clever hide! TFTC

Found @ 16:30
Was out on a solo caching run on this freezing cold wintry afternoon and this cache was by far the highlight of the day not only the fabulous view of the Dandenong Ranges but the creativity of the cache container. Had to be quite discrete as there was a group of boys hanging around on their bikes outside the milkbar. Took me a little while to spot this one as I was scratching my head trying to find something s******* but after reading some of the logs it helped me to refine my search. What a fabulous hide and totally unexpected. Definitely a favourite!!

TFTC me-again

Found it while eating Chips with mum in the car. I love this 'mountain'. Good hide, Knew exactly what to look for thanks to StaceyV's version down the road a few years ago.

Omegaman1971

Love it.....Was covered by leaves but still found only after a small search.


TFTC

Every tricky! Loved it!!!

This is my favorite geocache!!!

Second one for the day

Find #: 3942
Time: 11:12 am
Date: Fri 10 Jul 2015
Today I was getting an electric brake controller fitted to my car in Kilsyth, and they lent me a loan car. This gave me an opportunity to do a bit of caching in the general area.
This was indeed a generous view of the Dandenongs. At first my GPS had me looking in the wrong place and I had a nasty encounter with a thorn on a particularly nasty prickly vine. I soon locked in on GZ however and used the hint to my advantage. A very nicely hidden cache, although a bit susceptible to a citizen doing the right thing.
I'll give it a fav point for ingenuity, and location.
This one was find number 1 of 8 for the day.
Thanks for placing this cache me-again

Visited once without success as GPS had me dodging past the holly bush and trampling through the undergrowth so think the coords are well out as others have suggested. But admired the view. Then read the logs, discarded the GPS and returned to hit the spot in 10 seconds. Well-constructed cache gets a Fav. TFTC

This one took us forever. Found it. The co ords kept pointing to the wrong location.

Omg, this took us ages.

Great hide

5/07/2015 17:49 #200
Find number 200 for us! Wooohoo
No sign of travel bug or coin???

☺ good camo

Burried under dirt, but nice camo

Quick easy find - very clever

Found after some searching very clever disguise nice outlook

Team Tomlins. Well we did not find it but view was great with a little fog hanging about

Found it

Geoboy found this. Excellent hide.

Very tricky.. had to use clue as gps was all over the place. Couldn't find log to sign... Not sure if it's missing or am l missing something. picked up TB

Just doing maintained dropped of a tag

Out and about today to collect some clues for some other caches around we stopped to grab this one., Geo daughter was happy to see the cows and give them a pat, I was wandering all over the place looking for cache that wasn't to be found too easily. I only had my phone and that was bouncing me around everywhere, Okay so i'll read the clue... still no help. Then I saw something, something I have used myself in a similar style hide. I LIKE IT! Well done a fav point from me it blends in so very well.
