DNF for this one, on our first day on the mainland. but this one seems to be missing. skakids.
Attempted to find this at 8:37:00 AM on 16Mar2019

Even though the Needs Archive log is inappropriate in this instance, it would seem that this cache would appear to be in need of owner intervention.

Therefore I am logging a Needs Maintenance log and hopefully, the owner will take the opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

Given the circumstances/situation at this location, it would seem best to de-list this cache without going through the normal/expected process.

Nope. Missing

Needs archiving

This geocacher reported that this geocache should be archived. A community volunteer reviewer has been notified.

Had a really good look around here. Uncovered the kitchen knives mentioned. No sign of anyone living here but no cache either though! unfortunately.

Didn’t see anyone camping here today but definitely looks like there’s been a lot of activity. couldn’t find anything but didn’t stay long as felt like someone might return soon.

It seems as if the previously mentioned camper has moved on from this spot - there was no tent to be seen. But it seems like a lot of things have been uprooted or disturbed. I couldn't find the landmarks mentioned in the hint - but my gps was acting up as well, so maybe it was there and I just didn't see it. Oh well. Can't win 'em all.

Homeless person is still there...

There is still someone settled there.

Looks to be homeless people living near cache

Someone is definitely living in a tent on top of this cache

Did not find but didn’t look too hard. There’s a settlement here now for someone who is homeless and it felt disrespectful to enter their safe space. Would suggest this needs to be relocated out of respect for people less fortunate than ourselves.

Greytiger and I put in a bit of time on this one to no avail. We were cautious as homeless people have set up camp at this site, they didn't seem to be real happy with us. Maybe a relocation should be looked at.

Don't know about this one, amaali and I spent a bit of time with this one, it could be muggled as there is a camp set up in gz, good area though.

Interesting area, with some picnic chairs etc nearby.
I googled the kind of hint object and had no difficulty finding the cache.

Found easily
Grabbed a trackable

Huge area GPS not useful Was about to give up then checked logs which told me to look for something unusual & out of place well I definitely found something ..... that wasn’t the cache but it lead me to it lol. TFTC

Found after a brief search. A bit more off-road than our usual! TFTC.

Found it

Found after a little bit of hunting. Weird stump was in the wrong spot...so rehid the cache and replaced stump . Great cammo! TFTH

Awesome hide!

I saw it but thought it was an animal and was afraid to take it out of its spot. When I put it back, I covered it up with some of hose twig things so the next person might have to dig a bit for it. Sorry about that.

Thanks

BOOLIN'

Thank you, really good hiding place

Tftc

Cool

Nice easy find on my lunch break! Thanks!

Good effort with the Tupperware camo. Glad no one was sleeping there this time

My 2nd and final find of the day, bring my Aussie find total to 918, on my quest for 1,000. I've run out of most of the nearby places to find many caches in a day, so I have to start going further afield...

Cool

Thanks

Lmao Kmart looking ass

Pretty good boiiii

Camouflage was good but the hunt was a little easy.

Awesome hide!
But... There was a big kitchen knife hidden alongside it. Bit weird. I kicked the knife away from the cache but don't have any way to carry it to throw it away, so it's still there. Not gonna walk around carrying a knife.

Found! Beware of random knife in the area

Took a little while to find but finally found it! Tftc

Nice, easy find. TFTC

Great cache and great hint!

Ah.... was difficult. Literally follow the hint and ye shall find. Great box and fine hide! Trinkets and a tracker inside. TFTC

Onze eerste in Australië! Voorafgaand aan de Formule 1 kwalificatie hier even langs gegaan. Even zoeken naar de juiste boom, maar toen was de cache dan ook snel gevonden. We hoopten 3 trackables aan te treffen. Helaas was het er maar één, die hebben we meegenomen. We hebben een geocoin, die we hadden meegenomen vanuit Nederland, achtergelaten

GPS doesn't worked so good first so I needed a while to find the right tree but than it was easy.

Found a nice route in from Lakeside Dr, after managing to circumnavigate the nearby oval undergoing improvements. And found the cache after the GPSr led me on a bit of a bum steer.

Nice camo, and good hiding method, skakids.

Logged a traveller, but left it in place.

I'd intended a bike ride in the Western Suburbs, but the weather had other ideas, so a Quest on foot became Plan B.

In all, starting from Prahran, and finishing in St. Kilda, six Quest cache locations and a further seven other skakids hides were visited, resulting in ten smileys, a DNF and two "did not attempt", while people enjoyed the slightly cooler conditions in a couple of local parks.

Nice.

What a cool little patch of bush. Came in from the Lakeside Drive side without any trouble. A quick find with the help of the hint, amazing how close to the road this place is. Cheers!

Great hide, left a trackable there

came down to Albert Park Lake to grab a few caches, This was first find after a DNF at nearby hide, Thanks skakids a great bit of camo, in a very unpleasant area of obvious drug use

Found number one of many hopefully on this overcast melbourne day with family

TFTC - great hide

????

If it wasn't for the sound of the traffic, you would think you were far from civilisation. Expected to see some kangaroos

Found it! Took a while, but worth definitely worth it. Just look around the green plastic boxes, if they're not there, just keep remembering the hint!

TYFC
Did the bush bash and was lucky
Left a traveling copy of one of my coins- may you see many more caches!

Thanks again skakids for a great cache hide.

Our phone played up as we approached GZ and for some reason we couldn't download the cache page! We had coordinates though and zeroed in on where we thought it could be. There were remnants of a balloon party all across the ground and we were hoping the cache was still there when something unusual caught our eye. Glad to get this one and took the Deutschland TB for further adventures. TFTC

Thanks for this hidden cache, together with Nonem008.

Tfc

Second find of the day.

Found in a three stumped tree

Found it! Great fun! Left a broken lego keyring for the next person!

This one was great, thanks!

Greatings from Belgium. @ 21u40.

We found it zit 10pm. It was à challenge... . Greetings from Belgium.b

Before dinner I decided to get some walking and geocaching in. After googeling the hint item , I made the find. TFTC

As I signed this log I said out loud "The things I do for Geocaching". On a Monday morning. Before work. Bushbashing in St Kilda. Love it. Cache in good shape. TFTC.

We couldn’t find it the first time today. Walked away to another cache then returned and found it straight away. Must say the GPS locator didn’t help-was approach 5-7m our.

Found with my friend hint gives it away.

Reading the hint was a straight way to find it.
TheRealCharbar

Wow... that was a good one.

Found it

Easy

A quick find on a long walk. Tftc!

Got on my second attempt, this time using the clue.. the GPS had me a little distance away. Took TB

This one was quickly found.
With cmkoe3.
TFTC

Took a while, trust the description. taz_6

With lisyb. Dropped a trackable, no others in cache as stated though

#6/9 of a lovely chilling summer weather biking Melbourne exploring day. Very nice cache, very nicely done and hidden. TFTC

Nice catch. Dropped a trackable . Thanks Skippy! and sorry I took so long.

First day in Melbourne and first few caches done (17 to start with) while exploring Kilda and Windsor area in order not to overdo the first day with all the jetlag and stuff

Difficulty level increased by dark still not more than 3min to search though.

TB in

Greetings from Latvia and Belgium!

Accurate co-ordinates and a good clue made this an easy find for me today. Thanks.

TFTC!

Weird stump and nice citybush. Thanks.

TFTC!

Love that this small piece of scrub is preserved here. Nice quick find thanks to the clue. Did this one after the Corroborree Tree. Special corner of the park. Thanx

Another quick find for the geokids

Dad and boy were a little away from our planned tram route (city circle). Jumped off at the junction and meandered toward Albert Park lake grabbing this hide as we wandered. Easy find using the hint. TFTC

Whoo! Congrats to buddy who's just found his 300th cache.

Scrabbling through the scrub in the dark was worth it for a successful retrieval. Congrats to slacker for his 300th find !

Took me a while, but I found it!! First one in Australia tftc!

Tftc. Hard spot

OK tftc

A nice easy find on my way through the area. Tftc

Very isolated in here. Expected a camp setup amongst the shrubbery.

As we were staying at a hotel along Queens Rd this weekend, I has checked out a few of the nearby caches to go and find. After spending the morning in the city I went out for an afternoon walk to find a few more caches. Slowly zero'd in on this cache and found it fairly quickly thanks to the helpful hint. TFTC, Biggles.

Another enjoyable find on my Easter Monday walk. TFTC.
Dropped off a tb to begin its adventure.
