Was hanging open, with the log missing unfortunately. Looks like it’s been muggled.
Nice and quick find!! When I arrived at GZ there were young kids close by who showed me the cache saying " it's a bird house for small possums" :p. No log book and didn't have a spare sorry.

Out caching in Geelong again today with Stemicmitsar, what seems to be a usual run nowadays, with him focused on finishing his 10th loop and myself focussed on just getting out of the house a big day was planned.
With a handful of fumbles.... which I personally blaim on an empty stomach the day all in all was a rather successful one. Thanks for being part of another good day out west. Thanks for the cache and the adventure.

*Found on the 9 Jan 2022 @ 10:46 am.*
*Cache find # 12271.*
Another trip to Geelong with buhfuhguh with one main target to get.
With us finding our main target first off we now decided that we would target Donutholes caches after finding a couple on another recent trip here which are really good.
After finding a nearby Donutholes cache, we then wandered over to this one to make the find, the cache was found easy enough but there was no log so we made one from a piece of back and signed that and placed it in the cache.
**Thanks to Darth Briji for placing this cache.**

We had to go to Geelong today to bank a cheque. You young 'uns won't know what that is, and it is years since we have received one. We found a nearby cache in the park and checked the map to see if we could pass any caches on the way back to the geomobile. We enjoyed the Monopoly series and had a fair idea of what we were looking for. We made it to GZ and made a quick find. The cache is in good condition, and it seems like the logbook has been replaced relatively recently. Thank you for this cache Dareth Briji
Thank you to all who have found this cache and enjoyed the Geelong Monopoly Series. I really enjoyed creating this series and loved reading the logs of those who left one. Sadly, I don’t have the motivation to keep this series maintained anymore therefore I will be archiving it over time as they disappear.
Thank you once again to all those who have found and enjoyed this series
Cheers,
Chris

In all are travels we would not have even thought to traveled to this location.
(Ha Ha). In your dreams, these cachers do.
[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

Found the cache on a beautiful morning for walking the dog. I found the cache but it was open and there was no logbook inside. Thanks for the monopoly series, they are good way to explore Geelong.

Really fun easy one, something a bit more waterproof might be ideal for inside the cache to protect from weather
Found in the rain! Think the weather may have got to it a bit but hopefully fixed that before the next find. TFTC
A very cute cache indeed! Spending my time in isolation roaming empty streets on a skateboard. Tftc
Down this way from Melb for a Sunday drive. Per the previous finders the log book is gone, nice hide though. We added a ziplog bag and placed the previous finders paper and a piece of our own with the plowfive signature.

Found this one cycling around Geelong. No contents inside but dropped in our name on some paper. TFTC
Found it earlier today. Open, upside down and empty. Was a cool find though

Nice easy find. The piece of paper that McLookers added was unprotected. Although probably not ideal, I popped it in a freezer bag I found in the car. Hopefully that keeps it dry enough. TFTC
Continuing my caching streak, I grabbed this as I was leaving town this morning. As others have said, there was no log inside. I added a piece of paper to the cache. Thanks The Monopoly Guy, while I have completed the final, I am enjoying collecting the other pieces along the way.
Found with kangas11 but container wide open, contents including log book and clue gone.
Stay in Geelong for the weekend. Day 2. Accompanied with theashleys7 for caching day to do the Monopoly series. Found it but no log paper due to a lid left opened. Thanks The Monopoly Guy for bringing us here
It was time to pick up a few more local caches, along with ilook4geo, being some in the Lara and Geelong areas. Some were more difficult to retrieve, but we had come prepared.
The find was not a difficult one, as it was found laying out in the open. Two more names were written on the log, it was put back where we thought maybe it was meant to be, and we were soon off to continue the adventure. Thank you to The Monopoly Guy for placing this cache.

Went along with goingplaces2 to pick up some traditional caches, some puzzles and some multi caches. Had a really good and successful day and a very enjoyable one. Caches were found, logs were signed, job done! Found out of place, re hid better. TFTC.
A quick find while I was placing my own hide at the other end of the park enjoying this series. Thank you
Parked close by and was soon at GZ.
Sadly half the cache was on the ground.
I packed it back together taking the clue and was on my way.

I decided at very short notice that I would have an overnight caching trip to Geelong. Having never cached here previously it was certainly an appealing prospect. I headed off early with the bike on board and got here sooner that I thought I would.
I spent the morning caching by bike and the afternoon driving around sampling the suburbs.
Having parked the bike up I was now driving around grabbing caches at random.
A quick find at the GZ. TFTC.

After attempting a multi near by and not having any luck I went for this game piece. The cache was open and log book half out! I put it back how I thought it should be TFTC
Another one of the series ticked off - dropped in here in search of a streaks find, was happy to find this one in place with it's original log (and hint). Thanks for the quick and easy find Monopoly Guy!
Decided to try and find 6 caches after dog training to obtain my dragon souvenir. TN, left a pathtag. TFTC The Monopoly Guy
These Monopoly game pieces are so cool! BendSinister spotted this quickly and we were soon signing the log. Thanks
Can confirm no log and needs love and care. So we left it and will come back when all is good
It was up side down when we found it. Put back things we could find but will need a few more things
Found the contents of this cache scattered thru the bushes. Put it all back in container but it needs some tlc
I was over this way on an errand totally not connected to caching but hey. If you are near an unopened treasure chest you just have to stop TFTC and the series. This completes all my clues
In Geelong for work so time for a quick cache or two on the way... an easy find here. Actually looks familiar so I might have found this one before and not logged it! Lol. Many thanks for the cache
Found by Mary & David at 1310. Another day for our streak, another drive to Geelong. This was the first stop and, happily, a quick find. Nobody else about at this hour either. Our thanks to Darth Briji.
Nice quick find in the dark. This series is usually pretty good for a quick find on the way somewhere. Ticked that box tonight. TFTC
Well while i was out and about, why not pick up another one of this series of great caches.
Thx very much for setting them out.
This one is a quick and easy find.

I was in the area grabbing another cache for my daily cache and decided, given how much I am enjoying this series, that I may as well grab this one while I was out (I have learnt to read the description, logs and hints thoroughly first to ensure that I can reach it without a ladder and this one fitted that description. It was a fairly quick find once I found the right bunch of bushes. Picking my way through the bushes was less easy. The title deed in the cache has had the ink run a bit, especially on the colour and name but the log book and clue are still good. TFTC.
Catching up on a couple of late forgotten logs from a few days away in Geelong for a wedding and managed to grab a few caches while in town. Found after a short search, thanks The Monopoly Guy for the hide.
Late log
? Thought it was going to be a chance, Nope it's a purple one! Great space here and cute little gardens, haven't actually been to the spot just driven by many times, thanks for taking us here. TFTC

We have been in geelong, our favorite getaway spot, for a few days now grabbing as many cache as I can convince my family to let me. I have told them that we aren't going home tomorrow without completing the monopoly series. #7 for the series. Tftc
A quick find, sign and return. We also found several signs in the trees around this park - wonder what they're for? Maybe scouts or some other scavenger-type activity. TFTC
Accurate coordinates and familiarity with the type of hides n this series led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks Darth_Brijl for the cache and the series.
Down in Geelong for a day trip to check out a trailer, of course we can't waste the fuel and return home without a couple of caches as well. This was a quick driveby for us on the way to our meeting point. I think its only about the fifth Monopoly cache we've found so far (mind you we only get down this way a couple of times per year), so at this rate, the series will be keeping us entertained for a while to come! TFTC Darth Briji.
Having failed on the Minerva Rd Monopoly cache, we were hopeful that this one was within our capabilities. We charged into the shrubs with enthusiasm and the house shape was soon found. Relief all round that we didn't have to leave the ground. Thanks.

On a road trip today with sharkiefan to attempt to reach my big milestone.
SF has already done this series, but was happy for me to stop and grab a few.

Out in the dark hunting for Monopoly and Hunger Games. This park is close to two different friends, and was a regular target for car rallies I made.
Hunger games: 1 from 4.
Monopoly: 3 from 3.
Thanks heaps, Darth Briji!

Missed this one completely on the first way around. Had Bobbi Bobbi laughing at us as she'd found it yesterday. Fantastic hiding spot! TFTC
Very easy find on a quick drive-by. Half the board down; so close, yet so far. TFTC
