### **OWNER MAINTENANCE REQUIRED PLEASE** ###

----------

Hi there Na'wal,

It looks like this cache might need some attention, as one or more seekers have indicated there is an issue with the placement. The cache has been temporarily disabled, so as to remove it from search listings and discourage people from visiting this location until the issues/s with this cache can be addressed.

**You do need to respond in some way within 14 days, so others know you are on top of it, as well as indicating exactly what is happening with this placement - please don't let a lack of communication scuttle this listing.**

#What should you do now:-#
You have a number of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:-

- **Check On The Cache:-** Visit the cache and repair and/or replace 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 logs of praise to roll in.

- **Place A Write Note Log::-** Reviewers don't have a crystal ball, so without your note on the cache page explaining that the site works are on-going, or you have been in hospital, or the area is in flood, they can't tell what is going on with the cache.
So please just post a note to the page (within 14 days) and when a Reviewer next looks at the listing, all will be fine for a little bit longer.
**Be sure to indicate the actual date that you expect to have it fixed so that everyone knows you are on top of it. If you have a long term unavailable cache (where you don't have an actual date) please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 4 to 6 weeks, so as to keep everyone up to speed.**

- **Adopt/Archive:-** 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 a Reviewer next looks at the cache page, it is likely that they will, unfortunately, have to de-list (Archive) 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.

**JUST A TIP:-** Have you checked out the new Geocaching Dash Board designed to assist a Cache Owner in managing the caches they own? Have a read about it [**HERE.**](https://www.geocaching.com/blog/2020/07/welcome-to-the-cache-owner-dashboard/?newsletter=PM) You will find your very own dash board [**HERE**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/owner?utm_source=geocaching&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=COD)

This cache has been badly damaged. Sad as it is to say...
The End...

A detour out here today, unfortunately this cache is very bad and has been destroyed by someone as per the photo.

Today I made my way from Ballarat to Geelong via, baccus marsh, the yangs and port Lonsdale finding some great caches and visiting some cool locations along the way. Great to be in this part of the state again after a year here

Thanks for the cache

Box definately needs replacing, folder has numerous spiders living in it.

Love it!! Thanks for the hide. Really fun way to get people out and about. The wooden box is falling apart and does need fixing.

A nice idea for a cache. Would be good to put it all together one day to see what the story turns out like! TFTC!
Cheers,
The Hancock Clan

Found today while in the area exploring.
Thanks for showing us this spot.
Cache in good condition, however the holding box is coming apart.
Thanks for the hide.

Found with McAdies and Jelly_bean14.
I had a good time travelling around to find caches in the area.
Cool idea.
Thanks for placing this one for us to find.

Found with McAdies and Geo_Eddie.
A cold and wet day today for caching but still fun!
Thanks for placing this cache for us to find today.

After a DNF on the last of the Puzzle series we decided we wanted to finish on a high note so looked for some closeish by caches with FP's. These 2 fit the bill. GMelb started searching and JMelb is always slower out of the car and happened to look in the right direction. ... aha! GMelb did the retrieval, signing and replacement and jumping out of the tree, unfortunately caught his leg on the branch sticking out of the opposite trunk (photo attached)
Dropped 2 TB's
Seeing we hadn't researched this one properly we didn't add to the story in the book, so I'll add it here ..."LadyBug had been so lonely with no visitors since June and was so excited to see new visitors that she flew out with great enthusiasm to see before her ........"
PS Cache cover is partly coming open at the bottom, we tried to get it to change angle but couldn't, needs some slight TLC
TFTC Na'wal - FP for the story idea - GJMMelb

Tftc. Found this one pretty quickly with my geodog in tow. Nice drive from Ballan area, grabbing some smilies.

Interesting concept for a letterbox cache and we continued the story in the book.

(We used a long stick to flick out the family of spiders - be careful!!)

Thanks.

Roaminghowie braved the spider and it’s babies to sign the log only to find opening the appropriate page another giant spider. It was a quick log given the 16+ legs ready to attack.

Magpie sat by, laughing with lady bug as yet another silly catcher tries to write and avoid the spider inside.

Day 3 of a dedicated geo-weekend away with Kestal and Scratches...today we were headed from Geelong to Melbourne and other places in between. Oh my...my being unable to sleep the last couple of nights here in Vic is starting to take a toll..couldn't for the life of me figure out how to open the cache until Kestal pointed out the obvious. These trees are nasty for splinters! And despite the vicious 8-legged fiend jumping out at Kestal...she lives to squeal another day . TFTC Na'wal

Continuing our way from Geelong to Melbourne, Eskies5, Scratches and myself decided to stop off at this one. After much struggles with getting to the log an easy solution was found . With all log books checked and double checked or were they checked at all for 8 legged friends it was handed over to me. It was also quickly released by me as one of them decided to pop out and say hello and yes it was bigger than Eskies5 and Scratches recalls ! Great hide and idea. TFTC Na'wal

'Three visitors came to the ladybugs house.'

They enjoyed the trip, signed the log and flew flew away.

TFTC! Certainly a favourite of mine. Couldn't resist stopping for a one last cache before driving home after a day out in the You Hangs, despite the groveling from geohubby!

Easily found but blends in well to the area! A challenged to reach this one s o made geohubby reach this one! Boy did he get a surprise with a massive huntsman coming out with the book and container that he nearly injured himself! Boy it was funny (the spider situation. .. ), so the Lady Bug continued its story!

Day 4 of the Bromance St Arnaud Handicap, and sadly our last. A whirlwind tour of all types of cache types, shape, sizes and effort. Thanks to all the cache owners for making a trip like this possible. We hand picked caches that met our team needs, high D/T, wherigos, virtuals, eartchcaces, high FP's and interesting ones! This cache met that criteria!
A terrific walk in, and a great drive. Very enjoyable - odinvludoing th eureka moment on the way in, leaving seffnjarahs jaw on the ground!
A nicely themed cache. well done.

Today was the final day of the 2019 Bromance St Arnaud FIFO adventure. The serious cachers (Seffnjarah, Swellerfungus, JeznDez and I) headed out at sparrows with some a little dusty after last nights birthday celebrations for Seff.

Having grabbed a few early high terrain caches, we filled up with bacon and eggs for breakfast and checked out of our airbnb for a full day caching in Ballarat before ambling back towards Melbourne and our flight home.

Another "bug" cache needed by Seffnjarah for a challenge somewhere. Most logs were signed Bromance. Many thanks Na'wal

The Bromance (seffnjarah, Crookedpete and Swellerfungus) conducted a successful fly-in-fly-out mission from Brisbane to Melbourne for last year's mega event at Parkville, and decided to return again this year for the The Bromance Mega FIFO Adventure 2019. With the addition of Dez of JezNDez as the all new-and-improved Bromance, and sayWOT? joining us as caching 457 visa holder, the expanded team flew in for 3 days of caching around Melbourne and regional Victoria, with a visit to the St Arnaud Mega thrown in.

With a trip out to the Mega yesterday, we had returned to spend the night in Ballarat in some rather spiffy accommodation. After a short caching expedition before breakfast, we returned to the accommodation to repack the car and check out before venturing out again to gather up some more caches in Ballarat. With that leg of our mission complete it was time to head back towards Melbourne to catch our plane home.

With a couple of small detours thrown in we were able to pick up a few extra caches along the way including this one. Didn't have to worry about any passing traffic today while retrieving the cache. Signed the logbook "The Bromance" and took note of the trackable details for discovery. TFTC

Nice

TFTC. Signed and returned.

I must be crazy doing such things in pursuit of a bug. And had to kill a big spider as I opened the prize. Tftc

On a geocaching road trip from Brisbane to the Mega in Queanbeyan via a little detour through South Australia and Victoria to snaffle some of their caches along the way.

Came through and picked this one up after not being able to get into the You Yangs park as it was closed for the night. Had a handy TOTT and got my carcass up there to sign the log and add the only line of a rhyme I could think of about ladybirds to the story. On reflection I don't think it had a very happy ending but maybe the next person could give it a positive outcome?

TFTC Na'wal

Out today to pick up some interesting caches. It is a bit sad that this one is broken. Had some muggle family with us and we all liked the concept. Wrote in the book and replaced all as it had been found. TFTC.

1000 Finds!

After a false start yesterday thanks to Mother Nature and a sleepy toddler, today was to be the day we completed our 1000th find (or break our streak and that wasn't happening). The morning started off with a trip to the toy shop for some birthday present shopping and we decided to continue on from there while the sun was kind of out. Miss 7 got the opportunity to choose where she wanted to go and this was her pick. No surprise given she has been referred to as our ladybug since before she was born, and I have been making sure to leave this one aside for a day she was present.

A quick find at GZ, where we decided to drop off one of our signature coins (it has a ladybug on it after all) in addition to putting our names in the log and continuing the story.

Todays adventures meant I could finally activate the 1000 finds Geocoin the kids picked out at the Parkville Mega to give to me for Xmas. Feel free to discover it using the code ACVM88 and mention in your log that you spotted the code here.

TFTC Na'wal, FP added for the occasion and the theme.

We have a TB by the same name so it is only fitting that we should visit this cache. The lock on the cache has been broken but the log and contents are in good nick. Thanks for the cache Na'wal.

Hi there Na'wal.

We started the day caching around the Little River area, after solving a few puzzles before heading off to Bacchus Marsh to have dinner with some muggle family members.

All up we found 18 caches & DNF'd 3 in this cache run. Thanks for placing the caches. Without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places while we meander around Australia.

**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in fair shape.
**Took:** Nothing
**Left:** Nothing.
**Dropped Trackable:** "Berkshire Geobash Geocoin".

Regards

Ian & Penny.

Cache stamp back in the cache box. PLease feel free to continue the story

Cache story has been updated and a stamp has been placed in the letterbox

My sixth day of a 9 day caching road trip holiday.
Today I had set out to finish what I had intended to do yesterday before I ran out of energy (and comfort levels due to my wet shoes) and find my 11,000th cache. I had the specific one chosen, and coincidently there were many caching trails on the way.
In the end I managed to find 72 today.

Thanks for the caches.

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

----------

I've noticed this cache is carrying a maintenance log which really does need to be addressed by the cache owner. Apart from a damaged container, the stamp for this Letterbox Hybrid is also missing, which means the cache is not Guideline compliant.

The guidelines indicated that periodic visits to check on the cache, as well as prompt attention to any logs that indicate there is a problem, are part of the [**cache owners responsibilities.**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines#listingmaintenance) If you can't attend to the issue promptly, then you need to [**Disable it**](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.

Found this on our travels back home after a weekend in Anglesea/Torquay TFTC

A weekend away with FWBs. This is a generic log to help me catch up with the long overdue logging of my found caches. Please note that each cache and location can be remembered but due to time restraints unable to personalize each log. The date logged may also differ to day found. Thank you for sharing this location for us.
JABs.

Did come to get a stamp in my letterbox passport, sadly the stamp is not here, but did write short note into lady bugs story, Thanks Na'wal, the container here is in need of some repairs

Dropping some bugs to continue their travels

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

After a lovely picnic in the You Yangs with hubby and geoson, I convinced him to drive to this location to have a look at this cache. I have not done many letterbox caches, so I was not sure what to expect. Once I spotted the container and retrieved it, I opened it and an enormous Huntsman spider scuttled out of the box, and I shrieked and dropped it! I don't mind spiders, but not when they jump out at me. When my heart rate got back to normal, I took a moment to write a line in the logbook and replace the box in it's usual spot. I am logging today because I can't remember when I did this one, but it was some time ago. TFTC.

Headed to Geelong today to take part in the CITO and thought I would tackle the last of the G2Q trail that I needed to find but there were soooo many muggles I decided to head further out into the country side and collect a few remote cache. Not sure how many I found but there were some real treats and I handed out more favourites than usual. Such a great part of the country. TFTC

Found as we explored the area, the youngest team member was interested in the proving ground nearby, and was keen to add to the story here too, the door was damaged but we managed to open it carefully and sign the log, add our bit to the story and replace as found, thanks for the cache and the fun

Found this log stuck in my drafts. Sometimes a cache is a bit of a non event. Sometimes a cache is one you remember for a long time. This one I remember well. I stopped here and made my way to GZ. Fortunately I had read the logs and was prepared. Ever so carefully I opened the cache, then gingerly removed the contents. I dropped them super fast too! There was a huge huntsman spider who wasn't particularly impressed I had disturbed its home. I signed the log and knowing the spider was in the book very carefully replaced it all. I don't like being surprised by spiders but knowing it was possible one lived here made it bearable. TFTC.

Stopped by here with +Wife as she wasn't with me when I found it last year.
Access was easy since the lock is broken and the door slightly ajar.

Yep- big Huntsman sitting in the ladybug travel diary ( wish I'd read the log here prior to getting that down!) Think it even had a nest with a whole lot of teeny tinny spiders scurrying around- be careful here!
No lock on the letterbox so it was very easy to access today! Added a few lines to the story- TFTC

Found with thomo31. TFTC

After doing the nearby Inspector gadget cache, teamashy and I headed here looking forward to another challenge. Unfortunately we discovered the lock was broken. We went to sign the log and look in the story book. Opening the folder a huge huntsman came out and dropped to the ground next to my feet followed by smaller one! Excitement over we signed the log and returned it as found. A fav point. TFTC

I had wanted to tackle the Zoo series in this part of the You Yangs for a while, primarily because I thought it would be a good excuse for a very long walk whilst trying for twenty-five caches in a day. The fact that this letterbox had popped up in close proximity to the Zoo series gave me the impetus to travel down and have a go.
I wasn't quite sure what to expect with this cache as I am not one for tree climbs. However letterboxes are comparatively rare and I'm working towards a challenge requiring the finding of fifty of them so I thought I'd at least take a look. Well, it turned out this was eminently doable and after figuring out what needed to be done I gained access to both the story folder and the log.
I didn't add to the story as I thought I was quite close to the proving ground entrance and didn't want to attract attention. I also had a few caches to find today! So after signing the log and replacing all as found it was onto the series proper.

We do like a letter box cache so swing this was close headed over. The first pet of the mystery was soon recognised and despite using the right technique still needed a nudge from another device. We completed the signing duties and re hid. TFTC.

After completing a similar styled hide in Melbourne we had a good idea of what was required here, but things were not so keen to move. We dug in our geocaching bag for some extra positrons and were soon inside. Added our bit to this story that has more twists and turns than the Great Ocean Road. TFTC

I remember having a quick look at this last time I was in the area, but the sky turned black and a big storm happened. Today was much more successful. Took a bit to figure out the opening, then grabbed the cache and story book and took it to the car where I was going to add my section. Opened the folder at the open passenger side window, and a GIANT hairy spider was in there. I literally threw the folder and the spider away from me, and therefore into the open window and the lap of the front seat passenger. OMG! Spiderman was missing. We looked around, but I have a feeling he is in my car somewhere and will punish me for removing him from his geocache home and jump out at me whilst I'm driving. So I am sorry I didn't get to add to the story, I am still freaking out a bit. TFTC

Found by Mary & David at 1352. Keeping our streak going, now at Day 375 and counting. Not too far to get here from maccamob HQ. Spotted the container almost immediately, but had a few problems getting it open. Needed an extra item from David's lanyard, but then we could sign the log and add a couple of lines to the story. Our thanks to Na'wal.

After visiting Inspector Gadget around the corner, we popped in to see if Ladybug was home only to be confronted with a sticky latch impeding our entry.
Anyway, after a few frustrating moments and with the threat of the impending storm, the cache finally relented and we were able to sign the log and continue the story.
We hope our entry is worthy of the Miles Franklin Literary Award.
TFTC

On a return trip from Melton after dropping the youngest member of H_3 off at a friends house for the week, we decided to grab a couple of caches on the way home. After doing the other cache around the corner, it just made sense to do this one too. We struggled for a bit to try and open the cache, but soon enough we were in. Sorry, we didnt write a sentence, but as the thunder and lightening started to get more intense, and it mustve been shift change at the proving ground, as we were inundated with cars!!! So we high tailed it out of there. Thank you for the cache Na'wal

Got this one with Tally Tiger waaay back in March. Only found out I forgot to log it today LOL. TFTC

Great looking cache. I like doing letterboxes and this was a different sort thanks

Great looking cache. I like doing letterboxes and this was a different sort thanks

Ah this young lady has seen a few visitors today it seems.
Tally Tiger must have just missed me as I drove off to see if they would let me take the VT for a few laps of the Ford Proving Ground. Perhaps not.
Left a slinky, a car (chinese ford replicator) & a bug domino.
All is well here in her world.
Thanks for a great day out and around the You Yangs.

I had a go, but was finding it a bit hard to figure out when all the work needed to be done with arms above shoulders. However doing the nearby Inspector Gadget cache gave me an idea, so I returned and after a couple of minutes had more success. It's a nice idea for a cache, and I was happy to be able to get inside it and add a line to the story.

Quick and easy find
Hopefully the first of many today.

Not the easiest cache to get into but persistence paid off and I was rewarded with a log to stamp and a sentence to write.

TFTC

Enjoyed solving the problem at this well constructed cache. Thanks Na'wal

A quick and easy find as we cache our way through the area today, although it took a minute or two to access the log. Geoturtle37 added a sentence to the book while we were there. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.

Second of two finds for the day.
Another fun hide though it was tricky to open the lock. We used a stronger version of the tool provided (one we carry in the car), and eventually it clicked.
Lady could do with a visit from her owner: Her letterbox is home to various species of spiders and their nests - amongst them a reddish-brownish one and a white tail (the latter was comfy in the book and needed a lot of persuasion to let go so we could add our little spin on the story).
As we were doing the honours, a car came past, slowed down, two men inside. "Howya goin?" "All good, we are fine, thanks." (ahem, do we look like we are in trouble? Please move on!) "Any luck finding it?" "Yes, we've got it right here." (red face) "There is another one 'round the corner." "Yes, we have just done that one." (relief) "Seeya."
With all this happening, we completely forgot that this is listed as a letterbox. Did not notice a stamp and promptly forgot to use ours - good old hand-written log had to do.
Thanks for the lovely idea!

Found by Team Ninja 06/10/2016, find number 911.
I had some time to kill before work so I made a few detours to find a few of the local caches. This was the third and final find for the day. I made the mistake of coming in from the North - the road is terrible and full of potholes! I then followed the road this cache is beside back to the main road, and it isn't much better!
I noticed several cars and trucks driving along this road whilst I was finding the nearby inspector gadget cache, but the road was deserted (thankfully) when I found this one. After sorting out my rather mischievous GPS I finally got an accurate lock on GZ and soon found the cache. I had some trouble with the lock on this one (even though I was using the tool provided) but I eventually got it right and had the log book in hand. A quick check of the clock and I realised I'd lingered too long and had to get a move on for work, so I signed the log book but didn't get the chance to add my part to the story.
TNLNSL, TFTC Na'wal!

**Found whilst House Sitting in Bacchus Marsh...**

*Found on the way back from Geelong after grabbing some caches with TR!*...

A great day adding a few smilies whilst sharing many laughs and some great times...
A short stroll, a short search, found the cache, stamped the log and returned... Found everything scattered on the ground. Gathered everything up and emptied out the water I don't thank that the cache was done up properly. A pity considering the effort gone into it... Put it back as best I could M but will need checking.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for my enjoyment Na'wal... A favourite point added for your efforts (again)...

Took: Nothing
Left: Nothing
Stamped Log...

**#8761**

found this one, pants were not the right ones to wear, didn't add to the story, but did it in a log book as there wasn't one

2:07 PM #2123
Out caching today with boatietim, heading towards the Balliang area.
Explained all about letterbox caches, as bt did the retrieval.
Would have loved to have stayed to read the whole log, but time was against us at this point. Still added our two bob though.
TFTLB, Na'Wal

Tftc fun in the sun, added to the story in the log book.

Picked this one up on the way to Eynesbury for a days caching. TFTC

Out for a day of caching. Tftc

I like these caches. Enjoyed the story and added to it. Put a book in there for a trade too. No huntsman thank goodness. Thanks heaps for this cache.

An awesome well constructed thought out cache !
Fav point added .
Thanks Na'wal for the cache .

We had a bit of a caching fiesta today - both SueHut and myself were coming close to the 500 mark. By the end of the day, neither of us made our targets, but DesHut who joined in half-way hit his 400.
Now, you would have thought this one'd suck the kids right in. The *find* was exciting (it involved trees). The *storywriting*? Nah, we'll wait back at the car... Well, at least the adults appreciated it, Na'wal. Thanks heaps!

I have looked at this cache many times before but because I had no idea what was involved in a letterbox cache I had always bypassed it. To at I was out caching with Ausfox and having completed a letterbox cache last weekend we made a stop to collect this one too. What a great concept and loved reading back through some of the story that's been created so far, this little lady it's had quite the adventure!

Lady Travel Bug's journey has been updated...

Love it

Found it. New stamp needed

Find no. 1026

With the light falling at a rapid rate as we left the near by series we though why not try this one. Letterbox hides are our favourite, and always difficult to pass up. The was easy to find and it was too long before the fantastic log book was in hand... So too the huntsman spider that seems to have moved in with the lady travel bug for a dry place to hide out.

Geowife added a nice story to the log before we left.

Thanks Na'wal!

My first letterbox cache took a bit to open. Lots of fun reading past log stories. Thanks

A day out to get the Zoo series in the You Yangs by Na'wal. On our way home and come across this one. Another by Na'wal. Busy man
No lady bug but a big spider!
Busy time when Ford workers finish shift.

On a night cache run with Bazinga01 we grabbed this one on a detour to another cache. cache was an easy find, opening it was a bit harder, getting the log out was the hardest as there was a huntsman in with it. got the book, filled in our part of the story and put it back without disturbing our new friend. TFTC A fav point from me for the great design and spider booby trap...

Headed out at night for a tidy up of the local map area with Arkbell80 again. For 10pm on a Friday night, we were amazed at how busy the Ford Testing ground was. Arkbell80 managed to get the cache open. Once we saw what was inside, though, we were both dancing around like ballerinas and laughing at how ridiculous we would have looked. We finally added our parts to Lady Travel Bug's story then it was my turn to get the log in the cache then close it again.
All done....
TFTC!!!

This was my first Mailbox cache. Found it easily enough but being 'technically challenged' needed Bogonghazy's help to work out how to get in. After that I got it open easily and when found a rather large spider in the log! After relocating him I signed the log and we headed on our way. Thanks for the new experience.

what a nice idea for a cache. um.. be careful of the 3 huntsman spiders who have a lovely little home.

Went to the You Yangs park today and as this cache was not far away I made the detour. It was worth it. Thanks for placing this letterbox Na'wal.

Found the Lady Bug safe and sound. Added to the story in the log. TFTC McPhail family

Dropped past for a quick welfare check. Anyone coming past be warned there are regular patrols for the local vehicle testing facility. Luckily there is a fellow cacher close by don't be suprised if you get asked what your doing!!!!

Ewwww. Must be a day for spiders. This one didn't want to part from the log, so I had to push him off with a stick so I could make my short contribution. Tftc.

Another great find on a geocaching trip around the area.
Another fun cache!

Took me quite a while to figure out what to do here, but eventually my brain caught up and all I had to do was avoid the large spider who had taken up residence in here.

Nice find

2 letterbox caches in a row and from the same CO !! What are the odds.... well I'm waiting ??? What are the odds, somebody get back to me please.... Luckily at this hour of the morning I was the only one around. Made the retrieval and added my little story to the log. Another feather in the cap to the legendary Na'wal. Thanks for another smiley on the map. TFTC Na'wal

We all loved the idea of this cache, then when it came time to actually write something, the car was oddly silent. Nobody had a clue what to add to the story! Perhaps it was the shock of discovering Lady's friend who had stopped by to read of her travels. It was later in the day before we realised it was a letterbox, and we had not checked for a stamp. Not really keen to go digging around without having a good look in there with a mirror either! Thanks to Na'wal for another very clever cache.

The first time I came by this little treasure it was pouring rain and I wasn't really into mood to climb a tree in appropriate footwear. This time I brought geohubby with me and sent him up the tree and he retrieved the dear cache and travel bug for me! TFTC

amazing to drive past this spot many times in the past and never saw the cache there. now that i am into geocaching i marvelled that i had never noticed this cache before.

Needing to snap up this cache for a challenge that we have now got the required cache types we can continue on. This proved interesting pulling up to this cache knowing that the local facility had 24hr security which decided to drive down an lock the gates whilst we were accessing the cache and continued watching to try and work out what we were doing. Getting into the cache proved to be a challenge within itself. Thanks Na'wal for an awesome mailbox cache and thank you for all of your continued work around the area with fantastic caches.
