Hi Tomo134,
This cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to discourage people from visiting this location until the issues/s with this cache can be addressed, as well as to remove it from search listings.
Please note that CO's of caches disabled during the current COVID19 crisis will be given some extra time to react as we recognise that CO's can't always just pop out and fix the issue. Caches where the cache owner does not currently feel safe to maintain will not be archived.
#What should you do:-#
- Should you feel it safe for you to maintain and address this cache now, AND your regional Health and Governmental authorities allow it, please feel free to do so.
- **Alternatively,** what you need to do is place a Write Note log indicating a date when you you expect you might be able to attend to the issue/s.
#Please Note#
When I next check on the cache, if there is no acknowledgment from the CO as requested above, the cache will most likely be de-listed (Archived).

Rode the bike in for another exhaustive search around every tree shrub and stump. Nothing here. Either the coords are well out or it may be missing.
Had another good look for this one to no avail. Really tough. I cant see where it could be. Looked everywhere.
nice little cache, the hint could do with some height adjustment, and will need more paper soon thanks
Found with ross47, geoMum and DaD0n.
Went for the short walk to this one after having dinner at Club Ringwood.
Took some searching, eventually looked the right way and there it was.
Nice hide. TFTC

The first of my DNFs on my night time Triple-Miss-Trilogy!
Great spot to rummage around in the dark as the occasional brightly illuminated cyclist pedalled past. Gave it a good go, but think daylight might help.

Took a while to find this cache. I must have walked past it three or four times and even stood right beside it. Was ready to give up on this one when a shape registered in the brain and the search was suddenly over. Very very clever. TNLNSL. TFTC. Kkams

With the overcast weather and the gps bouncing, I was super lucky to find this one so quickly particularly as it was saying I was 8m away! TFTC

One of our more frustrating finds. After reading through multiple logs saying different things, we nearly gave up before the more adventurous partner decided to venture further away from the path. Thank you for #85!
After a morning of running errands I was given a couple of hours to go caching. Sweet! Jumped in the car and headed off before there was a change of mind!
The name of this cache really summed up my experience here. Totally typical that it took so long. Covered in bites and scratches as a legacy of searching in a far greater circumference than I needed to. The last part of it was getting a bit of a soaking with a passing rain shower. Nicely camouflaged container. TFTC

Second attempt at this one....success today! Very well camoed lol
Thanks for bringing me to this great track!

Out and about today, picking up a few caches in the area. Made the quick find here, TFTC!
I love the camouflage on this container -- very effective. BigDpelican's comment on the height above ground level was very helpful in finding this cache. Tftc.
Found this one with OzHockeyChick. Scouting around, I thought I saw the cache out in the open, but no, it was just a discarded tupperware in the bushes. I thought I would venture a bit closer just in case, and I was surprised to see a miniature kraken swimming blissfully around inside it. When it noticed I was trying to take a photo it shook its tentacles at me in rage. I quickly retreated to where OHC had found the actual cache. Unfortunately when I looked back through my photos to upload it I had nothing but a picture of container sitting in the dirt half-filled with rain. TFTC Tomo134.

With Ale-plumtree this afternoon, finding a few caches after work.
Had a quick look around to no avail.
Then I read the hint, we changed our focus. However I must admit we were slightly bemused at the actual hide. I guess some things are in the eye of the beholder.
Cheers Tomo134

Tftc... gz a welcome stopping place on the epic walk from Wonga Park to Yarran Dheran.
Difficult to spot! Very good camouflage-- around belly button height once your amongst the trees not eye level
Looked around for this one for a while before back tracking and noticing something. Blends well with the soundings making it hard to notice by just glancing. Thanks for the hide Tomo134
This one is a little tricky. The hint was eye height so being short I kept looking up. No joy. I searched and searched even started looking lower. I needed a little break and shortly afterwards Zedaycee says I found it. He found it right where I was but even lower.
Thanks for the cache Tomo134

Have looked for this one two or three times previously, with no luck (admittedly, it was at night with a torch). Found very quickly today with the help of sunlight! Tftc
Found at 12:18:41 PM GAFF3.
Last cache for the day before heading to our favourite Chinese restaurant in Glen Waverley. Spent way too much time on this cache as the hint was a tad misleading unless you are a midget about 3' 6" tall
Thanks Tomo134

This afternoon the sun came out in the end so me and Celliot went out fore some quick caches in the Ringwood area. All of them found quickly at nice spots. Thanks to all the CO's for hiding the caches!
Got poked in the eye a few times haha. This is no longer at eye level, but a good hide, nice camo. Thanks!
Found on walk with the Geo-hounds. It was right in front on my belly button! Thanks.

I'd come to this reserve to look for something else but couldn't resist popping by here when I saw how close it was.
This is a busy place with muggles both on the track and in the overlooking home being a factor at this time.
It was amazing how close to it I was with perfect coordinates in seconds, but I just didn't see it!!!
I then proceded to extend the search area and check everything within 10 metres...!! Hahaha
Eventually came back to where I started and found it.
Cheers Tomo134. Well done on the simple but effective camo.

Frmen1 and I needed a walk and some caching time. We tackled a few on this trail. It took a while for our gps units x2 to settle. TFTC
Found with tassie expat while exploring this beautiful area. Took a little while and not quite eye level any more but thanks for placing this.
A few muggles today so we had to walk away and find the next before returning to this. After reading a few logs I had a better idea of where to look and finally spotted it, very well camoed cache! TFTC
I searched for this one for about 20 minutes at the start of my walk, and maybe another 10 on my way home.
Took a few minutes to find this little critter. Out to enjoy some fresh air and exercise after recent rain.
Time for a walk with the dog, and up to the Mullum Mullum Creek trail. I am blind to bisons in trees, so I was lucky this one came into my vision. Thanks Tomo134.
This was a gun cache to do with the family. Took us about 5 mins. With the team of 7 geokids, 1 dog, and 2 adults. Be mindful of bike riders and the muggle house with the broken fence. Have fun!:)
We had a bit of a hunt for this one, but finally got it. We weren't too sure about the coords, but they turned out to be fairly good. Thanks for the hide.
Wasn't having much luck finding this one. Then someone texted me, so I read it and when I looked up from my phone I saw it straight away!
Dropped the car out for its first service, and walked around to this park while I was waiting.
Checked out a couple of caches and nearly made it back to the dealership before it pissed down, but not quite!
There were a few walkers and bike riders at this early hour, but not many.
Took a while to fine - I always have trouble with his type of hide - but got there eventually.
Nice camo.
Thanks, Robmc.

Quick park and find on way home from work. Had tried this a few times without success, but had more luck today.
Yep seen these before!!! Loving this track. Found with Jimmytherat. Well hidden. TFTC
TFTC Tomo134. The Mullum Mullum creek is delightful today. A real delight to find on a sunny morning. Jimmytherat with Noelle04.
Finding this cache took us longer than it really should have. It is one of those ones that leave you wondering why you didn't see it sooner. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.
Found on a quick trip out to Ringwood. At GZ it took me a little while to pinpoint the right place (I suspect the tree canopy was making it a bit tought for the GPS) but eventually worked my way around to the right place where I spotted the camouflaged cache (I tried my luck with #2 too, but came unprepared so will return another day...)
Flash lights in hand we had a bit of trouble with this one especially with the houses so close.
Eighth Knox Nanton34 and I looked for what felt like ages before the little sucker was spotted.

We had to be careful with the torches with this one as it was close to houses, but after an extensive search Whyt Knight got us there in the end. tftc
Spent a while here and with a window open just over the fence we needed to be careful where we were pointing our torches. Eventually whyt knight came up with the hide TFTC
Out for our walk on a cool winters day. It took a while as the "camo" really blended in, and it wasn't black or green. Thanks again for bringing us to this great walking track. TFTC.
After attending the event in Eltham this morning and then dropping off Fleabag-'s kids we headed out for a few hours today for a few that neither of us had found.
We probably spent 15 minutes looking for this. Luckily only a couple of muggles came along. So obvious once you spot it!
Thanks Tomo134 for the cache, the hunt and the fun.

After attending a caching event in Eltham this morning, Spiffy- and I headed out for a day caching. This took some searching, but we were determined. Finally I spotted it. Amazing how obvious they become when you have found them!! Thanks Tomo134 for the cache.
Here is what I have learnt about winter: as much as I try to rug up in front of the heater at home, I am never as warm there as I am when out walking. Having spent all morning trying to get warm and trying to write a speech for Sunday, I decided to go out and collect some local geocaches and meditate on the similarities between people and geocaches
Tomo134 has put out a great series of caches around Ringwood, and I've been meaning to look for them for sometime, and today was the day! I parked in Jeffrey Drive, then walked along the Mullum Mullum Creek Trail to Croydon, then back through the streets and parks to the car. It was a lovely walk, seeing different coloured camellias, wattle boughs laden with bursting buds or blossoms, buttercups, and all the plants in the winter light.
Anyway, this was the third of nine caches I found this afternoon. A fairly easy find, but still nicely hidden. Thanks for the cache, Tomo134!

The last time I was here it was 20 minutes of frustration, so my heart wasn't exactly skipping for joy as I approached. However, 15 seconds of searching and the cache was found. Just goes to show what a different day, with different light, different angles, different headspace - different result!

This took a while to find as our GPS was really unstable. But finally we were able to spot the camouflaged container - relatively easy to see once we were looking in the right place. Probably too many other likelhy hiding locations that were distractions.
Went right at it. But it was my second time here. Thanx.

Needed to drop my eye level to finally spot this one, thanks for cache along this path
My 100th find!! Thanks so much. The kids are home in an Easter sugar crash and the hubby is snoozing! Great day for adventures.
No luck for me today. My 2nd DNF... these can be tricky though and I gave it 10 minutes but probably gave up to easy.
