Amy's Treasure Chest Mount Eliza, Victoria, Australia

Many DNFs recently. Currently unable to check status of the cache.

Unfortunately like the last few we couldn’t find it either. Might be worth checking on it.

DNF

Out for a look to grab a cache or two. This one proved elusive for us today. No pirate stash for us.

Hi everybody. Me and my client started a few months ago and getting the hang of it! Unfortunately today we did not find it. I hope the cache is still here because it took some time for us to get here due to the lack of access. Till next time

Lovely spot, thanks for bringing us here. Unfortunately like so often, I couldn't find the little naughty thing, not even the second time with reinforcement. But it's close to grandmas house, so we'll be back!

Good hide once we figured out beach access.

Flying Pig Squadron has landed! Great to get a cache in lockdown. Quiet beach. TFTC Aussie_zimmer

Found easily but left pen in car will go back and sign log book TFTC

Good spot

I needed to do an inspection near the beach so grabbed this cache while I was there. TFTC

Quick find.. wow what a quiet little hidden beach... Another new place and adventure. tftc!!

Poking around on this quite little beach picking up some caches. Was a windy day so the sand blowing through here gave my face quite a sand blasting. Thanks for the cache. All was in good order.

Found it fairly easy.. the clue helps! TFTC. Found with TroyfindZ.

As soon as I pulled up to the parking area and got out, another driver asked me....
'Excuse me, do you come here regularly?'
'Uh, no, not really, not for a while. why?'
'I've got my dog and I'm just wondering if I can take her down onto the beach without getting into trouble.'
*points at dog information sign* 'I'm not sure, I don't have a dog so I couldn't tell you.'
With that conversation over, it was onward toward the beach boxes. Cache found in the second place I looked. I believe I did find the previous version of this cache. Geocoin still there. I'm not sure if this particular beach has become a nudist beach, because strolling back I glanced at the sunbaker's and saw some boobies in the flesh! *don't look don't look keep walking*
Those steps on the return up took it out of me. Thanks to AussieZimmer for bringing me back here.

Cold windy day with Port Phillip bay a place for surfing.
Dropped off the Geocoin 100 jarr Scouting.
Travel well.

geocaching Day... so a nice walk along the beach on a still morning looking over Port Phillip Bay. TFTC

Nice cool walk along the beach.

Love the scenery- went for a morning stroll and found it. Thanks

Yayy the first one my kid found! Nice hide, nice surrounds

Found on a windy day

TFTC!

Found by geokid... beautiful spot! TFTC

Peaceful day out escaping the heat north of the divide! TFTC

Nice quick find on a warm day. TFTC!

*1 Jan 2019, Found @ 11:00 pm, Find # 8687.*

As there was a souvenir up for grabs, I needed to go out and find a cache for the day.
While I was out earlier on it was a bit warm so I thought I would wait until later on.
I headed out and attempted a multi cache at first but after spending too much time working out the coordinates and then finding nothing at GZ, I then ventured a little further to this one.
It was a good little stroll down the steps and across the sand to GZ where the search began and shortly after I was rewarded with the find.

**Thanks to Aussie_Zimmer for placing this cache.**

On a stinking hot summers day, what better thing to do in Australia than to sneak off on your lunch break to the beach. With a cache right on the beach to find as well, how could I not select this beach to come to.
Pretty quiet here, with 1 gent on a canoe, 2 ladies swimming and 2 other ladies with their dogs, it was a nice quiet beach.
Cache found quickly once I got to the correct location and it was then an easy sign and replace, before back on the sand and up to the rocks.
Thanks for the cache Aussie Zimmer

Nice little find, great stroll along the beach too

Nice little find
Thanks

Found it! I couldnt sign log so i will come back soon to do so. My pen must have frozen though because it was so cold definitely not a swimming day. TFTC . TNLN. See photo for official find date.

I do not know what took me so long as to get out this way to do this little grouping of caches, most likely shear laziness. but today was the day to take the caches off the map. So with the first way point of the nearby multi found I headed off to add my name into this log book. With several muggles occupying the beach I quickly ducked in behind the beach boxes to make it to the hide. After arriving at GZ I was soon to find the cache. Thanks for the cache and the little stroll down the beach.

26 May 2018, Found @5:26 pm, Find # 1563

After spending most of the day in doors doing housework it was time for a break. My daughter suggested we go for a drive so she could take some photos. This seemed like a good spot to come to. While she was taking photos I snuck off to grab this cache.

Thanks to Aussie_Zimmer for placing this cache

#1439 - 3.15pm
After a school drop off, I thought I would treat myself to a classic chill day!
I had much to ponder, so a peaceful beach setting was exactly what the doctor ordered.
I was intending to go to Half Moon Bay but I got lost en route and ended up here, at Ranelagh Beach.
And it was wonderful!
Lovely, golden sunshine softly warmed my skin.
The smooth bay waters reflected the sun like a mirror.
The gentlest of zephyrs eased across a totally deserted beach.
It was pure heaven.
I was even compelled to take my shoes off and wade out into the crystal clear salt water, which is something I almost never do. The palette of purple shades in the rocks under my feet fascinated me.
Time slipped by...
And slowly the ripples within my own mind subsided.

I eventually shifted perspective by heading up to the higher ground of the bluff to the north. And it was here that I realised that there was a cache in the area.

After spending hours enjoying the broad beach vistas, it was a strange contrast to find myself in the shadowy vegetation in behind the beach huts. The cache was found simply enough, but as soon as I opened it, voices approached from just above me. I just hoped the vegetation was thick enough to shield me and that the path didn't take the muggles to where I was hurriedly signing in. And just as quickly as they had come, the unseen voices began to fade again.
Phew!

I went back to relax again on the beach, in the late afternoon sun a little while longer and then headed off.
I was feeling refreshed.
This beach was so good for the soul.

Thanks, Aussie_Zimmer

Replaced the log and added some new treasures. Lots of muggles about today.

Visiting from the States TFTF!!

Another beautiful tucked away mt Eliza beach. Stairs are fine. Nice easy cache.
The log book is full, needs a new one.

Leisurely trip down memory lane for this cache. Used to swim here as a kid.
Lovely spot.
TFTC

The steps aren't too bad actually (unless there's an alternate route. We went via Earimil Drive).
Cheers.

Found with TheMuppaphones

Out with my hosts today showing us the sights and stopping off in between for a spot of caching. Found a few throughout the day.

After seeing that the cache hadn't been found for some time we were concerned. But there is was. T4tc

Tftc looking for walk the plank but dnf

Beautiful day, so we (my toddler and I) decided to go caching. This was nearby, and apparently an easy find, so off we went.
When we got to GZ, I read the hint to the little one, and off he went. After a gentle nudge in the right direction, he soon spotted it. Thanks for making it obvious enough when you're looking for it, but pretty impossible to stumble across.
Cache is in great condition, we signed and replaced.
TFTC!

Our very first cache... Conveniently located at the end of our street

Out last night with TrailStevo in the mornington area, we actually snuck out for a coffee and cake. The weather was threatening to go worse as we sat outside the cafe with the dog, in the dark, cold and drizzle. Did manage to find a few cache, plus a number of failures. TFTC Aussie_Zimmer

Headed off to Mornington to pick up some caches. Struggled more for parking spot to reduce walking. Found it quite quickly. Tftc

We took a stroll along this beach to Gz and found the cache tucked away safe and sound. Nice clean container with some small swag. TNLN. We watched the sun set from the carpark lookout, which was very peaceful. Thanks for bringing us here Aussie_Zimmer. W

Quick find while at tennis!! Took a muggle with me who found it straight away!! Good spot! Tftc!!

Lovely Mother's Day stroll on the beautiful beach here and introduced mum to her first find! She said "I want to do more of these!". There were a few people in their bathing boxes today enjoying the sun shining on the calm waters. The climb back to the car had us puffing but all good. Thank you

Didn't know whether to write on the logbook or pee in the cache! Tftc Aussie_Zimmer

Sheesh! Those stairs alone deserve a T3 rating! After a trek down them, we had a leisurely stroll down the beach... until we got to the creek. Timing was crucial to not get hit by the waves, but instead as we discovered that we ended up with a foot full of wet sand. The cache itself was perfect and well maintained. Quite the amazing adventure!

TFTC, Brainiac03

After quiet a nice hike from another beach I found this cache. TFTC.

This is a beach that I recall having visited once before, but this time I approached from the other direction. With good coordinates it was a quick find today. With the log signed it was time to wander back and appreciate this lovely location some more.

Thanks to Aussie Zimmer for the cache.

A nice walk down to what is really a great little spot - no wonder people pay so much for these things. Cache found with the help of the handy hint.

TFTC in a great location needs a fav

Out of my neighborhood down Dromana doing some Training for a few days a week for the next 2 weeks. Went the long way home for this one. After a short search, had the log signed.
Strange to see not one person on the beach.
Cheers for the cache

On this beautiful winters day there was only Nut bear and ourselves here today. A great beach for finding washed up beach glass as well as a very well hidden cache. It was lovely finding your treasure today Amy.
Thanks Aussie Zimmer for the cache

Out with BorisB&Natasha on a day off work and we decided that we were long overdue for looking for this cache. It's been a few years since I was last here but the beach and views are as incredible as ever. This was a quick find for us even though there were many hiding spots. Luckily there were no muggles today.
Thanks for the cache Aussie Zimmer

Nice find. Lovely and quiet today. Thanks

Found this cache with a bunch of 6 geokids!

Awesome trees here. Found with my cousins

Find #2203

Heading back from a trip further south and stopped near here to check out a multi cache. Didn't have much luck on that at my first attempt so I headed down to the beach to look for this one. Took a bit of searching as there are several spots that seem to match the hint and could provide a spot to conceal a cache. I persevered, had a bit of luck and the cache was in hand. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables. Thanks for the cache Aussie_Zimmer. A very pleasant location here.

Thank you, first cache for Helene, Charlotte, Uli, Veronika. With Maya and Matt

What a beautiful morning for a stroll along the beach. Enjoyed the mild heart-attack from the stair climb. Thanks.

Nice walk, wow those stairs!

Nice walk on the beach, had no idea there were so many beach huts (one just put on market for sale!) Found the cache, thank you. TFTC.

Paddled down from frankston and decided to do a couple of beach accessible caches.

Found easy on a cool muggles free morning.

9:50 am

Lovely stroll along the beach on this beautiful summer's day
Cache was easily spotted, found in good condition, signed log and strolled back along the beach
Many thanx to Aussie Zimmer and Amy for her treasure chest

Good stuff

There were a few caches around Frankston that I hadn't found yet so with an hour to spare I set out for a little bit of caching fun. It was a nice afternoon for a stroll along the beach today. Once at GZ i set about looking for the hide. It took a few combs of the area before finally locating the cache. A really nice spot here. Thanks Aussie_Zimmer.

Found after a day of adventure on the mornington peninsula

Found by sharp eyes geo wife.

TFTC (& hint - no GPS today !), Aussie Z & Co.
Used to run passed here when I was a tad younger & fitter. The dodgy plank across the creek has gone, but the stair climb still provides a good workout
Take a bow Amy - I left you one.

found it. Lovely beach, one we have never been to before. Thanks for bringing is here. Tftc

This one popped up while we were away from home so we missed the FTF race. sadly, because it's the first new one hereabouts for a while. Went out for a walk on the beach today to pick it up and maximise the smileys on our home map. Thank you for the idea Amy and for placing it Aussie Zimmer. Left a ring for Amy if she wants to pick it up, TNSL. A TB visited. Hope it gets lots of swaps as that doesn't seem to happen much now.

Easy find. Lots of fun.

On a beautiful sunny Sunday afternoon. What better way to enjoy the day than with a geocache. TFTC Aussie_Zimmer. Lovely first cache.

Damn it!!! There's a geocacher here lol!!! Wanted our first to find
Never mind, should get up earlier next time !!

*FTF* Was uncharacteristically near to the area when I saw the email, so jogged down from Mt Eliza shopping district. Thought it was possibly my only chance ever of a FTF, given I'm dependent on public transport and my own two feet. Glad then that I moved somewhat briskly, because Team Leithan arrived from the south within a minute of me grasping the cache lid, making it another first for me: I'd never knowingly encountered another cacher in the flesh before.

I've come to dread this particular type of vegetation, and inevitably tried a few potential spots before spotting the cache. Picked up the TB [Australia capital city travel bug]. Thanks for the cache, and congrats on your first Aussie_Zimmer!
