As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been longer than 28 days since the last reviewer note. I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future (next 28 days), just contact us (by email) once the cache is in place, and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it. Should you replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

There are currently works going on here and the tree is fenced off. It is just beyond my back fence, so I shall keep an eye on things and re-enable when I can.

A 68 year old man climbing a tree towards the end of a 60 km bike ride on a hot, humid summer's day sounds ridiculous but its my story and I am sticking to it. To make it worse, after climbing the tree and getting the cache I realised that it was a nano and my pen was back with my bike. So I had to climb down and then climb again. Thanks for the challenge. I will give this cache a favourite.

A bit of a mission but found it on 2nd look with my geobuddy Andrew

Loved the climb of what is a pretty amazing tree. TFTC!

We had surveyed this cache several months ago on the land of the old Clements farm of Floravale (Mrs LZZ is a cousin of the Clements) and decided that this would be better tackled with younger bodies. Fortunately geograndsons Sal (zematode) and Jasper were visiting from the UK so we packed a suitable altitude reduction device and drove to GZ. Finding a park was tricky but a close approach was achieved and after exercising the altitude reduction device, one geograndson reached the cache and extracted the log at 18:00 while the other replaced it. Honour was satisfied. TFTC

Found it with a couple of little adventurers.

We had 20 minutes before our takeaways were ready at a nearby indian restaurant , so we decided to grab the closest cache and this was it ))) An interesting tree and obvious where the cache name came from.
A quick find luckily and not the worst tree climb that we have attempted? TFTC

Out with GJMMelb and quiet1_au today. Parking was a bit difficult in this areas as the planners seemed to have ignored the fact that people have cars these days and need to park them somewhere... not a car friendly development here! We did find a guest park in the end. G climbed to the cache. TFTC

Found with Lochb and Quiet1_au. Noting the terrain rating I was concerned at where this cache may be located. Fortunately Q spotted the cache in a location which I could get to. I grabbed the cache and passed down to Q to sign as he had he pen. Thanks SanuineDragonflye

An impressive tree, G' of GJMMelb and I both went aloft to have a look for this cache while lochb searched from the ground (often a good strategy to have both perspectives) and soon I caught sight of the cache. G' did the honours of grabbing the cache as is pretty usual for our team, he's lighter and more agile in the branches than I am, and passed it down to me to log our visit. TFTC my last find for today.

Cable tied in place now

As I found this cache on the ground, I replaced it where
I think it would have been, may be you should check it's location.

This was an easy find as cache was on the ground.

Found on a pleasant run with Rebel Acts through the area. Thanks

Found this on the ground. Then got muggled by the groundsman so I inspected a few trees until he moved on and climbed the tree to place the cache.

Found on another caching adventure with Trailrunning, we found some awesome caches that put our caching skills to the test. Thanks SanguineDragonflye for the cache.

Nice hide glad I had my climbing shoes on.

Easy find

Off for a drive to the library so decided I'd take my tree climbing son to help me get this one. A fantastic hide and a fun climb for my son.

Amazed it stays in place with weather etc.. Great gz tftc

Found the obvious tree but concessions to age and a dodgy knee , could only climb to the lower levels

Wow what a find. I had to make my friend climb it for me

#6031 We had a family long weekend in Melbourne and decided upon a spot of caching before visiting some iconic city locations that we had promised to take our daughter to. We saw "tree climber" and that was enough to encourage us toward this GZ . We did have some trouble finding an appropriate place to park and so ended up crossing a fence to get there, all good though as we didn't get hung up . We did a couple of circuits of GZ before the cache was spotted, then SkullDad was soon scaling the POI to claim the find - rad indeed, there is something about heights, perhaps that is why we like to climb hills too . The cache was found in good condition on our visit, although we must apologise for the late logging. Our thanks to SanguineDragonflye for the adrenalin rush and highlighting these beautiful trees (there has been some tree lobbing in the area though). Cheers [^]

found it...great tree to climb...tftc

found it...tftc

found it...tftc

3TF - on an afternoon with nothing better to do, caching is the winning suggestion. Hopped a train to the area, found the tree with no issues... then discovered the cache lying in the tree, very far down, as if it had fallen. Oh well. Replaced it higher up - sorry Kylie if it's the wrong spot! Cheers

Climb in fading light, using iphone light cache spotted nice and high stf Tftc
