Thanks for the Cache Bucks23,Had to duck down to work today so I thought I would take the advantage and look for this one in peace. Completing a systematic search I found it and my calls for joy echoed from those factory walls. When my heartbeat receded to normal I signed the log and went off to complete the less exciting part of my day.Regards from Victourer

Loved the log book, but had to relocate dozens of earwigs from the cache before I could sign it.The area has become quite a dumping ground for used building materials but I was able to spot the cache that a TanSaf retrieved for me, after us having attended the nearby GIFF event today.Thanks for placing this cache conveniently.

Muggle territory, but better half very discreet.

Pretty quiet here on a Sunday. Took longer than I expected, but once at correct spot located easily.
 
11-Jul-23
Took a detour to this one on my way home from work to continue my current streak. Relatively quick find but did have to reassure a nice man that I was ok. Think he thought I was demented old woman wandering through the industrial estate. TFTC

A quick and easy find late at night. Tftc.

Out on my walk this evening starting off at Marie Wallace Park, this was cache was my goal today.

Once I reached GZ there was luckily no one about except for one guy who tore off in his ute while I was searching.

In the end this one took an embarrassingly long time, certainly longer than it should have. I have no idea how I missed it so many times.

Love the logbook though, signed and replaced as found. Thanks for the cache Bucks23 and nice profile pic, Neil is 100% the best young ones character.

Happy to report that the cache is in good condition and the logbook nice and dry.

Nice camo spot. Really needed to keep an eye on the workers some of who were giving me a “what you up to “ look TFTC which is still in good nick.

On the hunting trail again with SeasonedBird (aka Mrs Geo, Salty Chook, the Old Boiler, Old Chook, Dirty Bird, Angry Bird & occasionally even Love Bird). It’s a great day for caching.

For anyone making Geo plans, do yourself a favour and visit Australia’s only current Geotour at Ballarat while it lasts: https://www.geocaching.com/play/geotours/ballarat-victoria

And for anyone that can travel to Longreach, Queensland, late September 2023, Google “QOGM” which is the Queensland Outback Geocaching Muster. You’ll have at least 8 or 9 days of pure geocaching fun with around 200 like minded people attending a mix of events and access to over 200 geocaches placed by the QOGM team. It’s not a Mega, it’s better.

Just trying to catch up on some logging at last. This was surprisingly quick even though it was some years since I have been here with a previous finder. Thanks for the cache.

A quick find. Thanks Bucks23
 
19-Jun-22
Late write up.

Tried to not look too weird walking down here on a Sunday afternoon. Some randoms nearby. Seemed to not attract too much attention. GPS initially a tad haywire, but quickly got it!
 
19-Jun-22
Some years ago (pre-COVID) I tried for this cache from the nearby parklands only to find a fence blocking my way. Fast forward to this morning and I noticed a couple of caches nearby and decided to detour to grab them. Early Sunday morning ideal for this one, no-one around so after a short walk the cache was spotted in a likely spot. TFTC
 
27-May-22
I have a little set of draft logs that are not huge in number (22) but date back eight months. I can't remember what I was doing eight days ago let alone eight months, so am going to be efficient or pragmatic or lazy or something and do generic logs. Sorry about that. I do appreciate the efforts of all COs though and can definitely say a big TFTC Smile

Completing the Let's Go Shopping and Guess Who? series before they were archived was today's big priority, but once n0w0rries and I had finished, there a plenty of time to explore on my own.

This looked like it might be interesting to attempt after I completed an Adventure Lab nearby, so, driving in on this quiet Sunday afternoon, it was definitely that

Nice one, Bucks23

Staying at a mates place tonight, we decided to do a nearby It was a great hide and even gave me some ideas for my own cashe in similar environments, tftc bucks23!
 
07-Mar-22
Find it probably not the best spot to put it near a toilet but it was still fun
 
16-Feb-22
I was nervous approaching GZ as it was the middle of the day and the middle of the week and I wondered how I was going to mount a search here. Fortunately I found the cache in the first place I looked, and no one paid any attention to me at all.
 
13-Feb-22
A very quick find, thankfully. These are always difficult. Just thought about where would be the best place to hide it and bingo!
Easy to do on a quiet hot Sunday afternoon.

Took a bit of searching for this well hidden cache in the back blocks of Bayswater. People just leaving work at 5:30. Imagine working at an office. How novel in 2022! Thanks for the cache.
 
25-Dec-21
Merry Cachemas!

I figured the place would probably be as empty as it would ever be on Christmas Day, and with no one around it didn’t take too long before the cache was in hand…TFTC
 
03-Oct-21
Decided to investigate this one on a rainy Saturday afternoon. Read all the tips and looked in all the places that seemed like they fit, and stuck our hands into the ivy, but no joy. The Geopup was very excited to have discovered the bird's nest, but sadly we didn't find the cache.
 
26-Sep-21
Out on the bike on a glorious Spring Sunday, swung by to find this one.
It was quiet here today, so I was able to search undisturbed.
It took a little searching amongst the undergrowth before I put my hand on the larger than expected container.
Impressed with the cool logbook.

19-Sep-21
Found it after about 20mins of looking! I looked high and low in amongst the ivy and I was very excited when I looked down and finally spotted it! Went early on a Sunday morning when there was no one around. Signed the log, left an Ooshie, and replaced exactly as found. Thanks so much for the cache!
 
12-Sep-21
No luck for me. But I did find a birds nests and other good spots to hide a geocache in.
 
31-Jul-21
Well looks can be deceiving, so many places this cache could be, not realising the size of this cache, we looked in so many places that could have hid a small cache! But then we looked around a bit more.. BAM there we are! Cache found!
 
06-Jul-21
Nice one

The Flynn clan found the treasure! Unfortunately we forgot our treasures so we left it. Great spot. A few odd looks from those working in the estate.

21-Dec-20
Although after hours, there was still a bit of activity at the Place.

Fortunately I was shielded from all eyes and could explore in peace. I wondered whether the cache was hidden inside the derelict toilet block, which was open. Thankfully I thought better of it and soon found the cache in a much more sensible location.

That’s a very pretty logbook!

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

----------

Hi there Cache Owner,

This cache has come to my notice as there is a 'Needs Maintenance' log that indicates there is some sort of issue with the placement and it needs your attention please. The cache has been temporarily disabled, to discourage people from visiting this location until the issues/s with this cache can be addressed and also to remove it from search listings.

Check out the Guidelines here: [**cache owners responsibilities.**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines#listingmaintenance)

**Can you please respond to this situation (or indicated your intention) within 14 days, please** 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 30 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.

16-Feb-20
Out for a walk and to pick up some caches to fill another day on the caching calendar on this lovely sunny Melbourne day. After completing a couple of caches nearby this was the last one on the way back home. Whilst most businesses were closed there was still the odd Muggle around at random businesses but no-one taking any notice of us. After a bit of searching at GZ it was Mr Pooky who found the well hidden cache which was covered in ants. Once we removed the ants the inside of the container including the log was saturated. We were unable to sign the log as it was just far too wet. The cache needs drying out and a new log and plastic bag. TFTC. TNLN.

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

This one has been on the list for a while driving to and from work however my times always coincided with much activity at the estate ..this time a big truck blocked muggles from observing the search .. which in the end was a quick one. Thanks Bucks23 for placing and maintaining the cache

I was looking to pick up a few caches today and this one was on the way home. Having read the description a late Sunday afternoon visit seemed to be an apt time to visit. I couldn't find the cache at first, so I decided to get the torch out of the car and have a look using that. I soon spotted it using torch light. Not sure how I ,issed it at first but I guess that happens! TFTC!

An evening out geocaching with my caching buddy 4evatinks. After dinner at the golden arches, we headed to this cache for our first find for the night. The place was deserted so we were able to park 7m from the cache. Two pairs of eyes & two torches had us walking for a few minutes before we spotted the cache. SL & replaced. Appreciate the cache. Thank you Bucks23.
