I am at the exact location and have looked thoroughly, and judging by the most recent entries, it’s definitely not here. :/
Saw the DNFs and decided to attempt anyway. No result - could CO step in ASAP to tend to this cache.
I had previously found it and happened to drive past yesterday when Jalmac were there.
Walked past later to find it missing. The owner needs to attend. Such a great natural spot, but many muggles passing. Very likely someone has deliberately taken it away.

Couldn't find this today. After reading previous entries I think this cache may have gone missing
I am fairly certain this one is gone. I found the brick a while away from GZ but no CIH. There was also another obvious spot at GZ which had nothing there. Or maybe I am just cache blind.
Found this one cache today at 10:15pm after a beach party. Thanks from D, HA, H & A B-A
Scored a soft ball. Find 1630 while out with The Swaggies at 15 December 2017 12:35 pm
Out today with Yorsys collecting a few local caches. Find 5698 Thanks to the previous finder for the brick as the GPS was wandering a bit.

The hiding place for this one was way too obvious so I put a brick in front of it.
U Bewdy 500 thanks to a lot of help from Missmash. Lucky no muggles around today easy find. Tftc
So that makes Walmont pretty happy, she now has her 500th cache, not to mention a good find of another cache on this very wintery day. TFTC.
I was walking down the path thinking to myself that that spot would be a good hide, stopped to check my GPS and found it pointing directly to the spot I noticed. Couldn't see any cache there at all, but found it well hidden. Had to wait for a couple of walkers to pass before returning the container back where I found it.
Nice Community Garden just up the road, with a couple of people working in it.
Thanks for the cache SuzuiQ

Checking out some running/walking tracks and cafes in the area and stopped here for our picnic lunch. A very popular spot on this sunny school holiday day, but this cache was well away from the high Muggle area. Another quick easy find in the obvious spot. TFTC and brining us to this park. TNLN.
Madness ? - attempting to find the cache after the GPS had died !!
Back to the car, quick recharge & off again in the drizzle, before the storm ! Boy did it rain !!
Nice quick find in the right spot !
TFTC, botany notes & self-inflicted excursion, suzuiq.

Today was a bit warm for a bike ride so I took the car instead so I could enjoy the air con after returning from each short walk and search. It also enabled shorts and thongs caching as well to keep cooler.
I only had about 2.5 hours but managed to find all that I looked for except for one which looks like it has been in a fire.
Nice quick find, even managed to park mere metres away even with the road works going on nearby.
Thanks suzuiq for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

A last minute decision to head out caching today with lukie1987. A quick online search to find an area we both hadn't done, and here we are.
GPSr had us out in the open for a minute, but then settled on the right spot. TFTC

Ended up heading out with ozhockeychick to a location we both haven't cached in.
We ended up gettign a few under our belts and the weather was perfect for caching in.

Ending a 2016 slump with 4/4 caches on a cloudy New Year's afternoon. The younger geobrother made a quick find here. TFTC!
A short walk from the safe carpark to gz. We made a quick find of the nicely hidden cache and wrote our name (with invisable ink, as that was the only pen we had) in the log. Tftc suzuiq
Staying in Chelsea Holiday Park (which is really a residential village with 5 caravan sites!) and went for a walk late in the day when it cooled down a bit. This was an easy find and made the walk worthwhile. TFTC
I don't think there is too much wrong with a bit of mint tin madness. It gives us a find, gives us a reason to get out of the house and return to areas we haven't toured for a while.
Pulled up and grabbed this almost instantly, signed and rehid.
Thanks suzuiq for more caching fun

Thanks for the great hide. Fantastic park. Bring the family, fur family and picnic!
On holiday, for a few days, in Chelsea with our daughter. Out for a walk this morning in the ‘bracing’ air, blowing the cobwebs away, and picking up a few caches on the way . Thanks ,suzuiq, for leaving your walk ‘encouragement’ for us along our pathway. Greetings from New Zealand
After the DNF earlier in the week the CO suzuiq kindly sent me a message letting me know that the cache had been muggled and had now been replaced. With a slight detour I found myself in the Bon Beach area and chasing this hide. The cache was quickly found with a nice new shinny log book inside.

While out with kids and grandchild while they were playing their own game I managed it pick this one up. Nice easy find Thanks for the cache suzuig
My deepest and sincerest apologies for the absolutely woeful logging time for this cache. I currently have a backlog of 460 found it logs from the last three years. Yikes! Obviously, many of these will be difficult to remember and with such a big backlog I simply have to do a default log (other than a few special favourites along the way). I am writing this on the 18th of May 2019, when this log is for 18/08/2016 Thanks to all of the owners and sorry for the pitiful log!
Very close to a road full of muggles. Passed it the first time, found it second look.
Having found Mint tin madness 2, I continued my journey across to number 1. This area was well lit and I didn't even need the torch. Being night time. I inadvertently picked up an eight legged friend as I retrieved the hide. With him swept off my hand I was free to add my name to the log and then head back to the warmth of the car.
Thanks suzieq for placing this cache.

Its the day of The Harvest festival so me n the wife thought we would come visit . Festival was good fun saw some bands watch a show and ate too many dohnuts. Well how better way to work of them sugary treats . Got to ground zero to find a lady who logged before me sitting right under a tree i was eyeing. Knew it could only be a fellow cacher. Nice to meet you mrs squared. Chatted a bit then log was covertly passed on to my to make my mark . I took her place signed and placed back to wence it came . Tftc will revisit this park again im sure
Easy find, well hidden. Met a fellow cacher as I was looking inconspicuous- nice to meet you to the gentleman who logs this very shortly! TFTC.
I was in Chelsea visiting a muggle friend who lives around the corner from this park. After lunch she said that she needed to walk her dog so I suggested I show her...and her canine ....what geocaching was all about seeing as I had talked about it so often.
This was the last of three caches I took my friend and her canine to in this park. We found a cache a few hundred metres away and then had a lovely stroll along the trail to this cache. Thanks to the spot-on co-ords we found the cache quickly and signed the log at 4:25 pm. TNLN. We then headed back to my friend's place.
Thanks suzuiq for the good hide. It was lucky we found this cache quickly as my friend's canine was now getting mad and cranky. I don't think that I converted my friend into a geocacher but she said that she would like to join me in some future geoadventures. [^]

Nice easy find while out riding with Geogljill-11 and mark9375 it was sitting out in the open almost sitting on the path so put back where we belived it should be TFTC
Great little find. GeoChuck just walked up and nailed it quick as. She's definitely got her mojo back.
Found tonight with grumpy gramps 1, in the Frankston area tonight to tackle a fairly in touched area. Hoping for double figures tonight. TFTC
Nice quick find with the geokid and geohusband. Now we're of to MTM2 and Mt Chelsea. TFTC
A quick find after a frustrating DNF nearby - we spotted the likely hide early but had to wait for a break in the steady stream of Muggles about on such a lovely day.
Once a chance appeared Dad nabbed the container and signed the log. TFTC!

Out and at large this afternoon with my caching buddy Slink1. This was a short caching timeout due to both of us having other commitments. TNLN TFTC SL
Out and about this arvo with Dunko for a short caching timeout
Many thanks to suzuiq for the time an effort in placing the hides. TNLN TFTC SL

Find #1947
A quick stop off here on the trip home from work hoping for a quick find before the next errand. I headed to to the right spot and not making the find immediately I started to wander. Now sometimes this pays dividends but not in this case. I checked, I poked and I prodded, wandered back to where I started and tried again. This time I was a little more diligent in my search and the cache was in hand. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables. Thanks for the cache suzuiq.

Found this while out on a mini hunt. Geo friend helped us spot this one. Thanks for the local cache!
