No construction activity today on the nearby site; a few kangaroos near GZ enjoying their thinning habitat. TFTC

Construction in the area geocache must have been destroyed during it . Completely fenced off.
A quick stop on the side of the Ring Road, use my two wheel drive legs to get me up the hill, then a quick search. I got the hint but took me a minute to locate the cache. Stamped the log and made the decent back to the geomobile. I'm sure I got a few glancing looks but hey that Geocaching. Thanks rcmjh
Looked for quite a while with no luck. Unsure if 'moved because of bees' means it gone, or just in a new spot.
Found the cache straight away. It seems to have a freshly replaced log, which I happily signed and moved on.
Content unavailable. This user has opted-out of sharing certain information with API Authorized Developers.
This one was a good find, particularly challenging because of the really long grass, but besides that, good location.
Found It!
I made my way to GZ on two legs. Nice spot and a nice day for a walk.

Found this on my two wheels, must mean i'm good... Thought I had been spotted by a muggle whilst at the GZ but it was just kangaroo. Log was little soggy and could do with a zip lock bag.
Found with icw. Below the cache we found a collection of stolen street signs and letterboxes. I can think of far better uses for the culprit's time, such as geocaching. Tftc.

The area was cleaned so we assumed the geocache was to because of the last find being in June
Quite an adventure to get to the spot, but an easy find for the kids when we did!
One of the few caches in walking distance from home that I hadn't found yet. Great view, enjoying the walk! TFTC.
Great spot! Thank u for getting us up here & out of iso!... difficult to huff & puff up the hill wearing a mask but worth it to be up here in the sun!
Taking advantage of the mild and sunny winters day this cache was located in a great spot. Added some more log paper as it was a bit damp to write on. TFTC
Out tonight to get one to fill the calendar. I know the area as I have driven past regularly but I have never walked this far along the bike track. It was a pleasant walk from where I parked the car on the other side of the ring road. Cache was found in good condition. TFTC rcmjh and for bringing me to such a wonderful view.
Out for a ride and spotted this interesting location so came to log my mark. GPS was spot on. Tftc
Took me a while to work out where my phone was sending me but eventually I saw the light and soon afterwards was signing. Thanks rcmjh
Cache was there, at the correct location . However, as indicated in a log, the glass tube I had put the log in (to keep dry) was broken. This has been removed and the log wrapped in plastic

###**CACHE OWNER ACTION REQUIRED PLEASE**###

Hi there Cache Owner,
This cache has come to my notice as there is a 'Needs Maintenance' log that that indicates there is some sort of issue with the placement and it needs your attention please.
Check out the Guidelines here: [**cache owners responsibilities.**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines#listingmaintenance) If you can't attend to the issue promptly, then you need to [**Disable the cache**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=235) - I have Disabled it for you this time.
**Can you please respond to this situation (or indicated your intention) within 14 days,** so others know exactly what is happening with this cache?
You have lots of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:
- Check on the cache, repair and/or replace the cache or do whatever else is needed, post an [**Owner Maintenance log**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) indicating the cache has been checked and [**ENABLE your cache.**](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ) Then sit back and wait for the praises.
- If you really hope to get it fixed but there is some unusual reason why you can't do it soon, then at least post a Write Note log (within 14 days). Be sure to indicate the actual date that you expect to have it fixed so that everyone knows you are on top of it. For ongoing issues (where you don't have an actual date) please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 28 days so as to keep everyone up to speed.
- If you don't plan on fixing it then you could consider passing it on to another geocacher by asking them to [**Adopt it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=54) or alternatively, you need to [**Archive it,**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=56) so it is removed from searches and someone else can have the spot. Don't forget to remove any remnants of your previously enjoyed cache too.
You might wonder what happens if you don't pick one of those. Well, if nothing happens, then a few weeks from today, when I next look at the cache page, it is likely that I will unfortunately have to de-list (Archive) it on the basis that it has been abandoned.
Honestly, I'd rather you decide so please do something before then. Please don't send me an email but instead follow the information/advice posted above.

We thought this might be a DNF we looked for so long. Then Shufflehop found something which turned out to be the cache. Very very clever disguise.
Picked it up initially but thought it wasn't it. Read the logs and then knew better. Nice find. Think I will have to add tweezers to my geocaching kit. Didn't write in log in the end. Onwards.
Found on 28 May 2018 at 2:42 pm.
With another day off to keep my annual leave days low so as to be given bonus holidays I headed out on the bike in the perfect overcast weather so no sun screen was required. I had never been over this area of the city and was keen to check out this bushland and it's surrounds. Much steeper than I expected in some locations but some cool caches were found. It was awesome on Monday with virtually no muggles where ever I went compared to sometimes on the weekends when it is crazy.
After a ride around the bush for a little and a more leisurely ride along the side of the M80 I then continued around this area.
Found this one after a minute or so. Very unexpected location as well.
Thanks rcmjh for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

Seems waterlogging is still a problem so modified the cache container. Should keep the water out now
I came by here on a run with the siblings. It was nice to be on this track rather than buzzing around in cars racing around to places. The hint was kind of inspiring when I saw the cache which I honestly thought was someone's trash. I thought I was looking for something under a fallen branch but I was up the wrong tree. It was nice to have the find. Unfortunately, the cache is certainly not waterproof and the ziplock said goodbye long ago. A dry cache is important to put the spotlight on.
Logging 3 months late. Sorry. Quickly found by CharlieBear10. Paper was soggy even though just replaced. TFTC
Today I had no wheels (well 4 were parked 300 metres way, but that doesn't really count), but I did have a caching buddy Jeckleberryandtedd and our 3 geokids. The eldest geokid made the find, and the log (although new) was still quite damp. Views are wonderful from here. If only the traffic noise was absent!! TFTC
Never walked up this hill before. Yes - there is a view that not many people have probably seen. Very nice container, well hidden. Unfortunately, the log was sodden and almost impossible to write on. The included pencil was just not up to the job, but I brought my own pen. I usually bring some spare bits and pieces to repair, but today I only had a pen with me! The existing log will need replacing, or at least, a temporary log, and maybe a new plastic bag to protect it. It appears that the container has let in water via the hole in the side. Thanks for taking me off the bike track today.
Found after a bit of searching but eaterlogged log. Thank goodness for waterproof pens. Nice hide TFTC.
Cycling and recycling the bike trail didn't help I had to look at a greeer option.
I think that this is a great spot for a cache. I managed to park not too far away and enjoyed the stroll and the find.
Nice easy find and a unique container.
I've seen these used before as a geocache.
Certainly waterproof!

I found this a great cache, the clue was spot on a great area and I love the riding along this track, thanks to the owner.

Chof_hoe, Morty and Posums have come to the end of their M80 Ring Road geocycling adventure.
We did that series and a few others on the way including this one
I still don't know how I got talked into doing a 14km round trip on the geotreadlies after a 10 year layoff
Up the hill we went and the view is now hidden mostly by the trees but is still worth while doing
A quick find as the coords were spot on and since it was daylight we did not need the cache container
My 2 partners in crime would have liked to met the bees as they are aspiring Apiarist's
Signed of as chof-Pos
Now for the ride back Oh Boy
Thanks Rcmjh TFTC
A favourite also goes out to as well

The geotreadlies were packed, the GPSr charged, and a plan afoot. Posums, myself and my geosidekick in the car. Our mission: The M80 series, and a few other caches along the path between Lalor and Greensborough. We signed as chof_poss.
A quick find was made once we arrived at GZ - a much tougher task for Posums, due to the fact that his bike had decided to turn into a single speed due to it's roughly 10 years laying dormant in the shed. Yes, it is definitely the bike to blame. I'm sure he is still just as fit as he was when he put the bike in the shed.
We had hoped to be welcomed with sweeping views upon finding the cache, however there was just too much tree cover around for us to realise that hope. A fun find all the same though.
TFTC rcmjh!

Went for a wander in the local area today to loosen up my back a bit, wow what a great spot, was a bit worried with all the DNF's on this one but kept on after reading CO's note. TFTC
Checked it out this morning with alj and its still there and intact. No need to go into the scrub - it is accessible from the cut area
Read through comments and clues and faiiirly sure we were looking in the exact right spot. It's a small cache so surprised it eluded us - hasn't been found since Sept 2016 so maybe it's disappeared? Happy to be proven wrong though.
Ahhhhh so sick of underbrushy mystery caches. Will come back when someone else confirms it's here
Find number 5430 at 5:37:36 pm
A great place for a cache and an interesting hide. Found quickly after a nice walk along the ridge. Great views.
**Thanks for placing this cache rcmjh**

A lovely afternoon for a walk, and there are enough newish hides near the Plenty River to make a decent loop of it.
I've enjoyed the view from here before, on two wheels. Today, on foot, it was only a brief search before I was enlightened. Thanks, rcmjh.
