You've reached the summit! Mt Eliza, Victoria, Australia
By bigjohno15 on 15-Feb-14. Waypoint GC4YJMY

I cannot see any information that suggests to me that steps have been taken to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement - one or more of the following applies:

- Cache Owner unable to maintain cache
- No response from the cache owner.
- No cache to find or log to sign.
- It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.
- Cache has been abandoned by cache owner/cache in disrepair

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to also prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the next 28 days, just contact a reviewer (by email and include GC number in cache name) and, assuming it still meets the current guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

If there are components or remnants of the cache and you haven't already done so, please return to the GZ and collect the cache (or remnants). We don't want to litter our environment with Geotrash.

Should you wish to replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

Sorry, I have not maintained the cache and enabled it yet, I have been very busy. I hope to have it back up in the next few weeks, if all is going ok, thanks for being patient

Bit of maintenance needed and a possible change in hiding place.

That was an effort :3 I had to call up beckgiz so she could guide me to the cache after they had found it a couple of days pria. Nice little set of shops

Last cache of the day and after parking at the shop we headed over to GZ, I didnt read the other logs before we started searching so I didnt know how difficult people had been finding this one so we were searching for 10 mins or so when my friend was lucky enough to be on the right angle to see it and was able to guide her nephew over so he could pull it out which he did then dropped it straight away lol because it was all covered in dark moist dirt and he didnt like getting it on his hands! He was pretty quick to have a look in the container however and immediately took a liking to a small plane and decided he would like to keep that so we signed the log, placed it back and headed to the car with him making plane noises the entire way back to the car! TFTC!

While coming home from the Penninsula visiting my son for his birthday we wanted to do a couple on the way home. This is my second attempt at this one. A little tricky on knowing where the best place to park here. Having read the logs i was ready to widen my search this time. It took me that long that Mr X came to join me. Nearly about to give up it caught my eye. Its all about which angle you come from. This one could drive you to drink (hint).
Thanks for the cache bigjohno15

Over from the Barossa for the weekend, and to watch our son March and be part of a Cenotaph Party on ANZAC Day at Seaford after his recent rating in the Navy. We had time today to grab some local caches and this was one of them. Searched for a while around GZ without anyluck and decided to move on and log a DNF. As I made my way out of the trees I spotted the cache! Checked my GPS and it was reading 10M out. After signing and replacing, it was reading 8m out, so I think the trees were playing funny buggas with the signal...TFTC

Took two trips to find this one but so excited when we did! Took 15 mins to find. If you're having trouble, keep going! Don't give up!!

Found it after 10 mins. Don't give up. Thought about it a bit but it is there.

Took a few minutes to locate this well hidden cache. Got a few scratches as well. There was NO TB located in this cache. TFTC

While we were on this side the bay after a family wedding nearby, we had a little time on our hands while the geo kiddies were being looked after. This was the seventh find today for us. A quiet early morning made this one easy for us to find today even with a few passing riders while on the track today. After a short walk along the PLT, we made our way back into the cool of the air conditioned car. We pulled up here, on the side of the road and made the find quickly, hidden from the passing cars. Signed and returned as found.

[blue]Thanks for this trad cache, big johno 15 [^]
Log and container in good condition.
Took Nothing, Left Nothing [/blue]

Found while out with the grandkids.tftc

Coordinates slightly off but under the tree branch is a great clue

Tftc

Don't you just hate blackberry bushes good location lots of car muffles going by signed log left nothing

Great cache took us a while to find as the coordinates were a little bit off but with the help of our geocaching minds we were able to find our second for today. WATCH OUT FOR THE BLACKBERRY BUSH!!!

Out for a family cache bash. Jas found. Coords a little off and a few prickles about. Swapped two items and signed log. TFTC

Together with Calypso62, I came to Melbourne to attend the Mega Event. We also found several caches while we were here, this being one such cache. Only one problem - the blackberries got me. Sorry it took so long to log this event. SL TFTC.

3:44:00 PM: (38 of 44) Find#10075
Traveled down to the Melbourne Mega from Canberra, along with Tankengine
Caching around the area during the event days. Event day#2

thanks bigjohno15

#2363
Geotooter and I had travelled south to attend the Melbourne Mega Event. We enjoyed finding some caches while we were down here and this was one of them. Thanks for placing this cache and adding to my global geocaching experiences.
Cheers!

Couldn't find it

Nah... The summit was a little higher!

Found with Mtrax on our final day in Melbourne. We came down from Canberra to attend the Melbourne mega Event! And of course, find a few extra caches while we were down here! It was a nice drive, with plenty of caches found along the way. The only issue was - I had loaded 6000 caches into my GPS (just to cover me for the trip ) using a ggz file, but it seems the GPS wasn't happy about that! Luckily Mtrax had a smaller ggz file, so I copied that one, and all was good. We found 162 caches all up over the long weekend, can't complain about that.

Thanks for the cache BJ

good easy find in good condition. I ride past here up the two bays road often

Treasure

Last one on today's trip down here. It had me going for a few moments in quite the haystack area but once I ventured 'inwards', I finally had the stash in hand at 18:20.

TNLNSL. Thanks bigjohno15.

PS: Alas, there was no sign of the [url=http://coord.info/TBNKN2]Flip Flop[/url] trackable in the cache nor does it appear to have been there for quite some time. The CO of the cache that a trackable is listed as being in can mark it as missing by going to the trackable's listing and completing that action. Maybe it's time to do so for this one.

A little out but found it TFTC

Great spot! Thought it might have been lost at first as there's been a lot of vegetation removal recently.

Like the last finders we found it about 10 metres from gz and the dogs were barking. Good spot though.

Took quite a long time to find as cache was located approx 10 metres from coordinates. Geohubby found it while the neighbouring dogs were very vocal. Pretty view though.

Out with scody when bernieh called me so we decided to meet up for a cache and coffee. Having been for coffee, which was a lot longer than expected, scody and I headed off for this one, bernieh headed home. We hunted around for this one and scody eventually found it around 10m from the posted coordinates.

Took an afternoon off to find a few caches with Yorsys and catch up on the news. About the time I intended to be home we decided to squeeze this one on as I had looked once before without success.
It took about 10 minutes of searching until we stopped circling GZ and start casting the net a little wider. Sure enough, by the light of a dodgy torch, the cache was found in its hidey hole.
One TB was found inside so I grabbed it.

This is a nice little spot, and as I turned around I noticed the view of below from the end of road. No troubles locating this good sized container, so I decided it would be a good spot to drop off a trackable that I had with me.
Thanks to bigjohno15 for placing this cache.

Yay joey jojo and tara_84 wooooo

TFTC! Found with Joey JoJo and AlizaSkulls Jo found this one!

Found tonight with Alizaskulls and Tara_1984

Found today with Callum, word of warning: no way near the brambles so stay away from them

Omg. Which branch and which brambles. Took way too long. But. Thank you

13/03/2015 Found @ 8:58 pm, Find # 4186.

Out and about searching for caches and this one was found.
Once at GZ I started searching but this one was taking a lot longer than it should have, got it in the end.

Thanks to bigjohno15 for placing this cache.

Great, quite challenging without the premium app . Ended up buying the premium app anyway though! Good find with lots of little goodies to swap inside.
#TeamRobbo

Cut up and spider bit but rewarded.

Bitten by ants, poisoned by spiders, scratched by blackberry brambles. I love caching in this country.

No joy search for a while

Just did a check. Cache is still there and hasn't been moved.

Thought this would be a quick find but there were so many broken fallen branches around it was impossible to get a good look. We are the third group not able to find it so maybe worth a check bigjohno15. [?]

Searched all over to no avail. Must be hidden well.

Searched for ages and no sign on the cache

Good times. Hint helped alot

Yeah a bit tricky for us novices but we found it

In the pursuit of fitness and better health I decided to leave the vehicle at the bottom of the hill in the Mount Eliza Regional Park and walk the 2kms to the summit
Good idea at the time; and then the rains came!
So an uphill stroll turned into a slog........but finding the cache made the smile return
Quick find, signed the log and rehid
With a renewed spring in the step (and a downhill return journey), it was an energetic return to the vehicle
Many thanx to bigjohno15 (earns a fav from me, more for the journey than the find)

Just realised put this one as 6th in the log book. Ahead of myself. Over here on holiday to visit my son & his family, unfortunately only on my own as other half could not make it. So it is shankzy's pony for me. As I am only a couple of kw away from where we are so did the walk needed the excercise after Xmas festivities. The clue was spot on so found no problem especially as everyone mentioned the blueberry bushes. No TB flip Flop here, but left off TB Uluru who would like to go to Ayers Rock.
TFTC

Gosh I needed a machete at this cache, the blackberries are winning Im afraid. I quick find and a little blood drawn in the process. TFTC Placed small swaps for the school holidays.

Yes tb time!!!!

Yes tb time!!!!

A quick find and a great place to park the little yellow German car that had been travelling with us. Very economical on the fuel so be sure to take it with you as you move through this great little cache. Watch the blackberries! TFTC and the garage space.

Daughter found this one first and added a lucky leaf to the cashe

The hint helped

Found this bad boy within a couple of minutes. The hint really helped.

Tftc a little tricky at first (I think I found all the plastic and bottles) but great first cache

Driving past this afternoon with kmace so dropped in for the hunt. This one took a bit of hunting before finally spotting the hiding spot. Thanks to bigjohno15 for this one.

Found this one today with littlemerpip amongst blackberries. Signed log. Thanks for cache.

Nice, I like

Find #466

Out for a Saturday morning bike ride. A bit of a serious one this time so wasn't planning any caching. I had ridden up the lovely Two Bays Road and was stopped to have a drink and catch my breath. I just had a quick check on the phone to see if there was anything convenient nearby and couldn't refuse this one as I was on my own and not riding in a group today. Didn't look too difficult or off track for me so I left the bike nearby and headed off to look (bike shoes, bike kit and all!). Took me a little while but I spotted the good sized cache and grabbed it. TNLNSL. Thanks for the cache bigjohno15.

Nce easy find and picked up a carton of milk too. Tftc.

Parked at the shops, easy walk and find. Got scratched by some blackberry bushes though. TFTC

out for a drive quick park and grab thanks

Nice cache with a nice view. Thx

Stumbled around in the dark for a while before I spotted it. Dropped off Rose Bear & grabbed 2 TBs. Cache is a little full now TFTC Johno

What a wonderful view over Moorooduc - never looked before!!! Nice little well hidden cache full of so many TB's - took our first one ever, 4 to choose from (573536) and swapped a sparkly shell for one of Chieftans (eldest) loom bands TFTC

Found whilst out with some muggle friends for a spot of geocaching. The kids had a lot of fun hunting and trading. TFTC

Picked up this one with BorisB&Natasha. With so many things matching the hint we thought we had checked them all.
All except the one with the cache of course. Amazed to find the four TB's listed still in there. Discovered and returned.
TFTC bigjohno15

Passing nearby with Nut bear and stopped for a look. Thought we had looked everywhere but found no cache. Used the PAF option and looked again on our way home.............and there it was, just as the hint suggested. Cache blind!!!!!!!!
Discovered the 4 TB's inside.
Thanks bigjohno15 for the cache.

I was in the area for events in the morning and evening, so after lunch at Mum and Dad's, I had a couple of hours to go caching. Parked where suggested, dodged the cars on my way to GZ where the cache was spotted from a short distance away. Hid it a little better. Thanks to bigjohno15 for the cache.

Dropping off tb

Ditto

TFTC!

Left a Vicks!

Out with Geo daughter today in the pouring rain for an attempt at cleaning up a few semi-local caches not yet found.
Didn't find this particular cache as it was getting a little bit dark.
TFTC

the hint was a bit misleading maybe it has fallen? Good spot Tftc

View would be magic if not for the rain! Good fun though thanks!

Neither Slink1 nor I had too much time available for caching this weekend so we had to make the most of the opportunities that cam out was over the weekend in amoungst family commitments. So a short run ensued and we manages to pick this one up while in the area. TFTC TNTN SL.

In the area today with Dunko on a short cache run, found without issue
Many thanks to bigjohno15 for the effort and placement of this cache

16:12
There was a sense of de ja vu as we set out with Liz & Bruce today. Just prior to the 2012 Mega we spent a day caching together in this area and today much of the conversation is around our plans for the Murray Bridge Mega.
Yes we reached the summit without suffering any affects of altitude sickness and our names have been added to the log.

TNLN .. . . . SL . . Thanks to bigjohno15 for the hunt.

Out with Phetlerns today in a lovely part of Victoria. We have visited this area once before we Phetlerns but still plenty of caches for us to seek to get a smiley. This was one we targetted and found. Nice one. Thanks to bigjohno15.

Needed a find to reach my 2,800 cache and this was it....TFTC

Nice quick one. SL TFTC.

Good hide. TFTC.

The embarrassing thing is that we live a 4m drive from this and missed the FTF and then also took so long to get around to grabbing this! Well, procrastinate no longer!!! Clever hide! TFTC

Easy.

Easy

Nice little cache TTF.
TFTC Bigjohno15.
Chiefton.

Thanks for a STF a great spot so much so I have left a track able to continue his travels from here. SL

*FTF*
Saw this one pop up last night but decided to have a look on the way to work this morning. I grew up not far from here and i used to ride to the milk bar across the road from the cache. It was my local one stop lollie shop where I could buy fizzies and those yummy caramel 'mates' for 1 cent each, those were the days. I also remember when the road leading up the hill used to be dirt, as were many of the streets in the area when I was growing up here.
I parked at the milk bar and made my way across to GZ, fairly busy with traffic at this time of morning but the cache was hidden from where muggles could see me searching. It took a few minutes but eventually I found the nicely hidden cache, and a blank log book inside. The area looked like it had been visited already too.
Nice first cache and thanks bigjohno15.
