the cache has disappeared from the location and I unfortunately don't have the time to replace it
 
17-Jul-17
Has it been replaced?
 
03-Jul-17
Is this one still not replaced? We had a bit of a look...
 
29-May-17
Sad ti say that this cache has disappeared. I will get onto it asap to replace it
 
19-May-17
No sign of it.
 
10-May-17
I spent a few minutes searching being a little wary of passing muggles. No obvious sign of the cache and given the recent DNFs I decided not to spend too much time here.
 
23-Apr-17
I'm so sad, I looked for ages, where the heck is it!!!!
 
18-Apr-17
Spent a while poking around GZ avoiding muggles walking their dogs but this was too good a hide for me. Will have to try again!
 
19-Mar-17
Love the camo! Great job!
 
14-Mar-17
A well constructed hide that took quite a bit to find. Once spotted, however, was very obvious.. Nice work.. thanks..!!

Suscoe was in Melbourne today for a family celebration and so we had a bit of time to explore the area before the festivities began.
It was a delightful day, sunny, coolish weather and a good strong wouth westerly, the delightfs of Summer in Victoria.
Thanks to kilpa4 for this cache.
A plesant walk in the early morning.
A few cricketing little ones nearby practicing their skills.

#1224 This has been sitting around for a while as a handy P366 cache. I had forgotten today was one of those days until after dinner. I headed down to the park (It has been upgraded somewhat since I was last there) and headed in the direction of GZ using the new Groundspeak Caching app for the first time. Still not totally sussed it all out but I like the little compass heading bar. But I digress.... It was getting quite close to dark and under the tree canopy (upsetting the phone) ended up at the wrong fence but looking in what I thought was a likely place. Unfortunately it wasn't so after stepping back about 15 metres headed back in this time to a different spot. This time success and a nicely cammoed hide was revealed (Fav point). Was a bit concerned about getting it open but all was good in the end. TNLNSL TFTC kilpa4, (There were about 5 ducks in the pond this evening.) One day I will find a cache large enough to set Baseball Field Hunter on its way but tonight was not the night.
 
12-Feb-17
Very clever
 
12-Feb-17
Nice hide! Dropped in to pick it up while the rest of the family decided to go shopping. I know what I prefer.
 
04-Feb-17
Super clever
 
27-Jan-17
I have been to the cache and checked on it. Apologies for taking so long to remove the very soggy log. And added an inner cache to perhaps help keep the log dry.
 
21-Jan-17
I'd parked a little too far away from this one, but it was not too bad a walk, once I figured out that I didn't need to walk directly on the golf course! Nice to have a fresh new log to sign. Definitely needs maintenance. TFTC

Decided to do a spot of caching after work today. So a quick call to n0w0rries, and we were soon on our way.
He hsd already found this one on another occasion, so left me to make the find. TFTC Smile
 
12-Jan-17
In the area doing some deliveries.
Parked in the shade to have my lunch.
Checked the app to find a cache within 100 metres.
Too good to pass up.
A nice quick find - thanks to the hint.
Log is a black disgusting mushy pulp.
Placed a new log in a couple of ziplock baggies and added it to the cache. *(I hope you don't mind.)*
Owner intervention desperately required here. The original log and bag are still in the bottom of the cache.
Nice camo. Sorry for the late log, just noticed it hadn't sent. Thanks for the cache kilpa4
 
06-Jan-17
Cache has had lid dislodged and contents are wet and log is ruined.
 
28-Dec-16
Very clever quick accidental find TFTC
LOG NEEDS REPLACING
 
26-Dec-16
The log is soaking wet.

Another one done. Woo Hoo! I love the challenge of the geocache hunt - read the notes, decipher the cache requirements, and go searching for the hide. This is an amazing world-wide game of hide and seek. I love it! I also enjoy caching with my family, and meeting fellow cachers. It really is a small world when I read over cache logs. **Thanks go to kilpa4** for placing this cache and maintaining it. It's a great contribution to the Geocaching community and much appreciated.

I enjoyed finding this one at 9:42:34 AM with Jackson Lightning. Clever camo. A geocacher passing by on his push bike offered a hint which helped a lot.
A FAV point for the camo.
TFTC! Cheers. *Jump Pilot* Cool
 
26-Dec-16
First find!!
 
24-Dec-16
Found, but log needs replacing. Great cache otherwise. Very clever
 
24-Dec-16
This is certainly a clever little cache. TFTC. First one of Christmas Eve. But definitely moist; didn't attempt to write in the log.
 
04-Dec-16
Clever little cache - thanks!
 
20-Nov-16
Found it - but needs maintenance as log is totally wet and cannot be signed also no swaps in there - thought about leaving some swaps but will come back once it has had maintenance - we live close and happy to put swaps in
 
07-Nov-16
Great hiding spot. Fantastic. Thank you.
 
29-Oct-16
Tinyhuman, mummybear and I found this one today and loved it!!!
Log is completely damaged though, didn't even attempt to write in it.
 
15-Oct-16
Quick find whilst in the area today. Watched a junior cricket match on the nearby oval

Many thanx to kilpa4

Thanks kilpa4

The lousy weather had kept me indoors for mist of the day. A break in the weather and I was out the door. My GPS on my phone was playing up. I reset the app and then I made a quick discovery of the cache a little further up from where I had been searching. TFTC
 
24-Sep-16
This was our first find!! Exciting!

Found it quite easy first cache in a while. Tftc. book quite wet. Lovely park
 
14-Aug-16
Well that was an odd one. Was having gps problems...phone telling me i was somewhere a km or so from where i knew i was.
So i reset my phone and started walking when there i saw the cache... right in sight, pretty much exposed to the elements and vulnerable to any muggles!!!
Signed, and when my gps started up again, hidden nicely at gx.
 
13-Aug-16
Nice one

I took the geodog to one of his favourite parks to check this cache. *
**THE CACHE IS STILL IN IT'S POSITION AND OKAY**
However the cache lid has received some damage so I will make a new cache and replace it asap.
Please replace the cache as you find it and put the lid back on firmly. Thanks kilpa4
 
05-May-16
Visited the other day because I didn't have a pen to log it... I was confused for a moment but then found the cache blown away. I think a bit of maintenance is needed as it will fly away

26-Mar-16
A nice walk into GZ today and an easy find with the help of a good hint which very much restricted damage to the vegetation around here. This is a good bit of camo kilpa4 - well done.

Find #2045

Left work a tad early to start the long Easter weekend giving me enough time on the way home to divert for a couple of caches. This was the second and after a find nearby I parked up to tackle this one. I wasn't quite sure where the park began and golf course ended but as I got closer it made more sense. The dam was looking very low so I'm not sure how the fairways are being watered at the moment. Took me a little while to find the right spot here but then I spotted the clever camo and the cache was soon in hand. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables. Thanks for the cache kilpa24.
 
19-Mar-16
Love this park. Nice little cache. Thanks.
 
21-Feb-16

Loved the camo. Found this one waiting for a pizza thanks for the cache!!

A very quick find while at the nearby playground with the geokids. I loved the hide, very cool.
 
13-Feb-16
I headed over this way and had the opportunity to watch a bit of cricket on the way. I enjoyed this hide very much. TFTC
 
06-Feb-16
first bark we picked up! beautifully camo'd! really really great. tftc!

We found this cache today at 2:30pm as number 12 of 18 on our Bayside Parrots who do Math Tour. One last cache before heading to Southland for some lunch and a walk around. A nicely put together cache enabling it to be hidden in plain view. Thanks from D, HA and A B-A.
 
28-Jan-16

Today mum and I went out for a drive to begin the final stage of getting my Ps, meaning I had about 30hrs of driving left to do. Thats all good with me, just means I have to find an excuse or two to go driving... gee, I wonder what that might be? Big Grin This was the 1st of 3 today.

This one had been around for way too long without me finding it. I really don't know how that happened. My only excuse is that I never found the chance during year 12...

Once here, the GPS was leading me very far astray. Thankfully my natural geosense clicked in and I soon had the cache in hand.

Thanks kilpa4!
 
06-Jan-16
Found. Container has lost its lid
 
06-Jan-16
My first one, hopefully of many many more!

We had been down in Melbourne from Western Victoria for the past few days, visiting rellies for Christmas. And today was a 50th birthday lunch for chook's sister, which just happened to be held within a few hundred metres from this cache. After lunch, a few of the interstate rellies wanted to try a spot of geocaching (to see what this strange thing is that has become our obsession). So we sauntered across the road and into the park, giving them firm instructions re avoiding muggles and how to find and replace caches and look after them like their own. They enjoyed the experience and we all signed the logbook. There was a travelbug in the cache so we talked about what it was but left it there for the next finder. TFTC kilpa4. Nice hide.
