Hi Mark9375,

This cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to discourage people from visiting this location until the issues/s with this cache can be addressed as well as to remove it from search listings.

**Please note that caches disabled during the current COVID19 crisis you will be given some extra time to react as we recognise that CO's can't just pop out and fix the issue,** Caches where the cache owner does not currently feel safe to maintain will not be archived.

Should you feel it safe for you to maintain and address this cache now, AND your regional Health and Governmental authorities allow it, please feel free to do so. Alternatively, what you need to do is place a Write Note log indicating a date when you you expect you might be able to attend to the issue/s.

**When I next check on the cache, if there is no acknowledgment from the CO as request above, the cache will most likely be de-listed (Archived).**

As brought up by others, it has had 7 DNFs and no founds in 8 months, this cache is probably missing.

Think it may be missing

Item referred to in hint is obviously missing -- can this be archived until fixed?

Definitely not able to be found.
Suggest CO visit to determine it’s still active.

Cache has been missing, presumed dead, for quite a while -- time to fix or archive?

Nope, no luck here for me today. No cap on the pole (if that is where the cache was). CO might want to check.

The spot indicated by the hint is missing precisely that attribute...

Where I assume it was there was no “cap”. No luck for us today.

Found a 'capless' spot but no cache

Argh! We couldn’t find it and had to check hint and I knew straight away where it was because I’d already checked there. Cheers. Great hide. A shitty day but caching always cheers us up.

Well made. Awesome find! Tftc mark9375!

Thanks for this geocache here today.

I wanted to get my daily hour of walking in, but instead of going local, I thought I'd check newer pastures and grab some caches along the way. It's always nice for a change of scenery. I parked nearby then scampered up the embankment. It was a nice quick and easy cache.



Thanks to Mark9375 for the cache.

Found with geoFam . Great hide, all in good condition TFTC

After I finished my work commitments for the day, I went to look for a few caches before I headed back to my hotel. Nice to get in a bit of walking along the way too. I walked past this on my way to the end of this section of the trail and found the cache on my way back in the first place I checked. TFTC, Biggles.

After climbing that wee hill, knew exactly where it would be, yep... have seen a few of these in the past. But still a great little cache and a welcome boost to the day’s tally.. thanks..!!

Probably my quickest find ever.

We were about and about trying to do a few more of this trail today, found by Mr Squalid after a short search. TFTC.

Genius. Out early for a little stroll to clean up these last few.

We had another crack at this series and today got five finds, and two DNF's. We will come back to attempt the DNF's at a later date. Thanks for the great caches - lots of clever cache building in this series. TFTC

Nice easy one I’ve seen before ️tftc

As part of my wrong turn I also stopped to grab this one. I am sure these are meant to be done on bike along the path but it seemed close enough to make the short walk up the ramp and so soon here with cache in hand

Thanks Mark9375 for the cache.
Found at 3:59 pm on 9/1/19.
Find # 1157

Sinornithosaurus and I had wanted to head out and do some caching before I had an appointment at Apple to fix my phone, so we thought we would tackle this series which we started not long ago. Better yet, our mate (TheRealNC_Whitey) wanted to join so we said why not and we were off finding some caches and doing some walking along the Dingley Bypass. Thanks to the cache owners for placing these caches that we enjoyed doing, but also for bringing us for this walk today, it was a fantastic day!! Visited some trackables, #494

Seen these sorts of hides before but I still enjoy them every time, very well done on the cache )

A quick find on an almost deserted path today, thanks for the hide here:)

I like these hides. Sneaky and totally undetectable to the untrained.
Thanks Mark9375.
Chiefton!!!

Second find today with Raffryn on our quest to complete the caches that are hidden along the D.B.T. This is a really well constructed cache which we found in good condition. TFTC

TFTC, hint did help us very much.

Different

Out for an afternoon walk along the DBT and picked up 5 caches on the way
All found in excellent condition. Enjoyed the variety of hides
Many thanx to Mark9375 for this one

I had to bribe my kid with a Barbie car from Savers, but got here eventually.
Lovely made cache.
23 on hidden creatures
Thanks

Quite a mild night so off I went. Checked a couple if places then made the find. Thanks to Mark9375 for placing this cache.

Found this quite eaily. Although rather than go up the walking track i went up the hard way just because i can.

First cache on the Dingley Bypass Trail after walking from Karkarook Park. Have seen this type of hide before, but still very fun. TFTC!

After a DNF at Mary Poppins, it was encouraging to find this one quickly. The hint brought my bike to a stop just next to the well constructed cache and I added my name to the log. I put the helmet back on and kept riding. Thanks for the cache, Mark9375.

Found with +Wife after running an errand nearby.
Thanks Mark9375.

Out and about with n0w0rries getting my numbers up towards the 500 for tomorrow.
TFTC Mark.

Nice quick and easy find.

Merci pour la ballade

At last after a bad run we were back in the hunt. Log signed and back safe again.

Thanks for your work.

Its after work and off to cache I go! Hi Ho, Hi Ho, its off to cache I go... *Whistles... Trails off* just driven past where the GPS says the cache is, but I'm on the middle of a bridge... There's no stopping here... But my GPS is ever so proud of itself and believes that it has navigated me to where I want to be... Now to find out how to return to the GZ, from a different angle...

Finally, I have arrived and the epic question arises, the high path or the low path... Luckily I choose right and the cache is soon in hand and signed, then onwards I go to home!

Found it after looking past the cache several times thinking that must be it although the GPS was pointing around at everything. TFTC

Out with Zedaycee for our daily cache. We came to gz and looked around. Found the most likely hiding spot but added cammo from 8 legged creatures made us look elswhere. We came back to original spot and braved it and yes we got it.

Accompanied with crank1 for the caching day. Nice day today. Found it. Thanks Mark9375 for the cache.

Accompanied with kangas11
What a beautiful weather today
Enjoyed and walking on the trail
Got it.
Thanks Mark9375

Such nice weather for a winter's day, so I got the deadly treadly out and set off for Karkarook Park and the nearby bike trail. The car parks were chockers! they must have stocked the lake with fish - fishing muggles everywhere. Not a good sign for caching! Fortunately, most of the caching areas were empty.
Nicely made version of this hide.
I think this was the only hill I rode today!
Thanks, Robmc.

We found this cache today at 11:40am as number 8 of 26 on our geocaching Tour de Moorabbin. On our return journey, we got the cache that we needed to dodge on the way down due to a muggle. More nice handiwork. Our 9,400th find. Thanks from D & HA B-A.

Out for a walk with my new Buddy I was keen to start ticking this series off as they come up on my radar every time I travel on the bypass to school. Quick find TFTC

This was a nice quick find for me thank goodness! I've missed a couple of caches along the way but will try again on my walk back! TFTC

The GPSr was being difficult at this point so we weren't sure if we should go low or high. Turns out we went wrong, so it was a bit of a trek back to the right path, but then it was fairly obvious. TFTC

Find #3356

Apologies for the late log. I had a bit of time to spare after work today so I was able to take a diversion from my normal commute north to come past here. It still bugs me that my stupid Holden sat nav won't recognise the Dingley Bypass but I'm well used to it now. I swung off at the right exit and was able to loop around to park near this one. A short trek later on foot and I was at GZ. Then I had one of those satisfying moments when you think 'Ahh, it must be there' and indeed there it was. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables. Thanks for the cache Mark 9375. I really like the work you and your team have done along this trail.

Went out for a nice ride in the evening and found this sneaky cache thanks

17:03
With the rest of the family embarking on their usual Good Friday activity (baking Hot Cross Buns by the dozen), I figured the holiday was too good an opportunity to waste, and headed off into the southern suburbs to find a nice walk... and, of course, a cache or so.

Once I'd almost completed a loop of Karkarook Park, I decided to take the scenic route and return to the car via the bypass trail. Having finally reached that path, this was a nice quick grab after climbing to the correct level

mark9375, another nice version of this type of hide.

#3449

So quick, great hide. With taz_6

With lisyb. This was a nice old friend of a camo

A quick find on a night caching run with SirJ-Oz and Muggle-L. SirJ had found this one before, so he stood back and watched - hoping for a laugh I assume, but in that he was sadly disappointed as I had a quick look around, picked the most likely spot, and came up with the goods. Ha!

A nice hide, and our last at the end of a very long and trying day. Thanks Mark9375.

Find number 5917 at 7:57:58 am
Out for an early start before work, climbed up from the road, enjoyed the view and moved on...
**Thanks for placing this cache Mark9375**

Arrived at GZ on a grey overcast morning. Fortunately no rain. Found the container after a short search and was able to SL. TFTC

Oh no - we took the low road first and then needed to climb back up - but this gave the children 2 shots at flying down the hill on their bicycles. Cache in good condition. TFTC.

Took us a few minutes to find with Team ksbtj, cycling around the circuit

I decided that I would get the bike out and collect the DBT series. I parked at Karkarook Park and thought that I would start in the middle of the series. The temperature was really hot such that I thought that I was melting however I had packed lots and lots of water.

I approached this from the wrong side for some unknown reason however it was a quick find. TFTC.

Drove here today after work to pick up a couple of caches. This was the second one to be found. Great hide. After the find I was off to Southland to do some Christmas shopping. TFTC

Found amongst the flies and aeroplanes.

Another one found...

12:14 pm #2425
Out with Lukie1987 today, getting some much needed bike-exercise, and picking up a few caches along the way.
Thankfully we've both seen others like this before, so it wasn't long until we had our names in the book.
Thanks for placing this series, Mark9375.

We were meant to be heading to pikes creek today but one of our geobuddys got sick, the weather turned for the worse and some of the caches we were chasing are now underwater. So me and ozhockeychick decided to head to this group of caches for a ride. nice easy ride here and some great caches where found TFTC.

Great day for a bike ride on a very nice new track. Thanks 4bait.

This was the first of four D.B.T caches found this afternoon, when I unexpectedly found myself with an hour or so to myself (a fairly unusual weekend occurrence).

When I read the first line of the description my thoughts immediately went to a particular kind of hide, with that hunch proving correct.

After parking nearby-ish I oriented myself with the compass then thought to myself "Aha, *that* one, I reckon!" before ascending and immediately making the find.

Signed the log quickly as the prevailing wind was coming directly from a nearby landfill area, which was a wee bit whiffy today. Thanks for the cache, Mark9375.

Another one where we almost didn't have to stop. My mood was starting to lift. A quick cache is a good cache.
I like these types of hides. And this one was very well made. I admired your tidy welding.
We encouraged the kids to stay at the bottom of the ramp to save on whinging but, of course, it didn't really stop them.
We were pretty parched by now, thanks to a certain CO. Imagine how good that extra 1/2 a drink bottle of water would taste right now!! The water had run out completely and things were looking grim. We may just die of dehydration out here in the harsh Clarinda sun. Do you feel sorry for us yet?
Thanks for the impressively constructed cache Mark12909845846

The tired children - well some of them - opted to stay down at the bottom while the rest of us went up to grab this. We missed for a moment on the adventures you guys must have when you go out preparing this caches - a thought we returned to later on when we saw some more of your hides.

We liked the construction of this hide, others I've seen make mention of losing the cache in the abyss- no danger of that here.

Nice quick find Herr guess I better head home now .tftc

After enjoying a walk with Lazyade along the Secret Trail and Henry St Trail, we drove around to have a look at the DBT Trail. After parking nearby and walking up to this cache, we decided to leave the rest of the trail for another day when we can enjoy a longer walk. A nice piece of infrastructure to put the trail along this new bypass. We had no idea the trail was here, hidden behind the bypass walls, so thanks again to geocaching and TFTC Mark9375.

The kids ran ahead to make this find nice and quickly after a great day of footy activities at school. TFTC.

This was our last find of our afternoons adventure, and i made it from the wrong direction. EB Nano was concerned that I would injury my leg more than it already was, so I told him it was best if he waited in the car.
Making my ascent, with the help of the railing, I identified GZ and made the quick find of an elegant example of this type of hide. Really well done.
Thanks Mark for the hide and for the simpleness but well thought out construction of the cache, a favourite point.

Easy and quick find. Thanks for the placement Mark.

Whats with me approaching caches from wrong angles today . Tidying up a few missed caches on way home from a great days cache on such a fine day tftc

Got out of the house late tonight, had to get the geomutt out of the house for a walk. She new it was Thursday cache night and shadowed me everywhere around the house. Well s bit of a trek across town butt had s good feeling these would be great cache, and I was disappointed. Walked about 6km I think and got double figure cache. Thanks for the evening escape, I am now chilled and ready yo face the last day at work for the week. TFTC

Cache was found quickly as I dare say was intended. A well-executed exampleof this type of cache too. The last of this little series for me and a much appreciated one too, thanks Mark 9375 and 4bait.

That was a good one too loving this walk- tftc!

Needed the clue to find it but a great hide!! TFTC!

We set out this afternoon to grab a few finds while the geofamily was over our way. This was our first and we marvelled at the amount of trucks coming and going. Thanks for the hide and bringing us here.

Exploring the D.B.T on a very cold and windy day. A nice easy find in a familiar hiding place. TFTC

Out riding with 4bait, I stopped to watch all the dirt trucks pile in one after the other, after the other, I had to wait a while to retrieve the cache due to a muggle standing/leaning on it watching the trucks too. Tftc

Find #2576. Found @16:46

Some recent family events have taken up much of my free time, and a great deal of my mental capacity of late. All of which has meant that I have not found any caches recently, so The Good Lady Wife decreed that I was to be sent forth to look for some caches.

I walked along the side road under the Dingly Bypass and made my way to the trail. When I got there, there was a man and child taking a break from their bike ride right where I wanted to be. There is some form of construction going on nearby, and despite it being a Sunday, there was an almost constant stream of double dump trucks bringing dirt to the construction site. I decided to stop and watch the action for a while, and saw a tremendously efficient system of trucks arriving, and joining a holding queue while a few trucks moved into the active area. These trucks would empty the back load, then reverse so that the back hopper was out of the way, and dump the front load. Then they'd drive off while a bulldozer would flatten out the giant mounts of earth that they'd left behind. It was an impressive hive of activity.

The google satellite imagery shows a lovely expanse of green to the east of GZ, but now that is full of dirt.

Eventually, the man and boy moved on, and I found the cache quickly after that.

Took nothing, left nothing, signed log, and visited some trackables.
Thanks for the cache Mark9375

Well constructed and nice hide TFTC

Nice quick find. TFTC

Making my way further along the trail, this was a nice quick find of a well executed hide. It was all closed up and deserted at the works across the road, and I was amazed to come across a quicksand sign, I haven't come across one of those before.

Thanks to Mark9375 for the cache.

There was some activity going on in the dump site nearby so parking was a bit of a problem but we improvised. There was one guy standing in the yard with a hi-viz jacket on and because I was wearing a bright orange jacket I think he thought I might be checking up on them so he seemed to be watching me like a hawk. I needed my wingman G-2 to act as spotter to give me the word to time my cache retrieval and return while he was distracted. I told G-2 the story about the wreckage I spotted last week on the way through here where a car appeared to have lost control and launched through the metal panelling leaving a massive hole just a little way down this road. Hope there wasn't a cache hurt in that

Nice and easy under the gaze of a worker across the way

Flu with Jouf blocl and gremma

Found with omegaman1971 this afternoon while grabbing some caches in the area, this one was one of several well hidden caches we come across today, and it was quickly located in an area with not too many likely hiding places. Nice work Mark9375, TFTC.

Great hide. The up's and down's had me going crazy!!!

omegaman1971
After a morning of work it was great to catch up with Happy Pants and smash some caches.
Love the game of let's guess where you think the cache is before searching. We where both right on this one.
Cheers for the cache

#1736 @15:20

I was back on the caching trail with Burge today. It was good to be out and about picking up some of the new hides in the area and today we were caching on foot around Karkarook Park and the Dingley Bypass. All up we found 19 caches although we did have one DNF. A great afternoon all round.

This was my first visit to the area now the that bypass has been completed and its interesting to see how much it has changed. I used to drive along Old Dandenong Road fairly regularly when I worked in the area but it has been a little while. A good hide in the first place we checked. Thanks for the cache, Mark9375!

Out on a day time caching run with PantherX in the Karkarook Park area

On approach to the GZ we knew what type of cache this was going to be but is it high or low?? luckly we guessed the correct option and quickly had the log signed.

Another day where I had time to attack my 10km circle.
Although it rained, I managed another nine while dodging the rain, sometimes difficult when a bike trail is involved.
I approached this the long way as I thought it was blocked off under the bypass, and parked on the grass beside Elder street, close to the cache.
A quick find followed of a very nicely constructed cache. This one should last.
**Thanks for placing this cache Mark9375**

The weather was absolutely perfect today so I headed out on the bike to the new string of caches that had appeared along the Dingley bypass bike trail and the surrounding area. Surprisingly hardly any muggles along here because I suppose they don't really know it here plus the trail doesn't really go anywhere, it just stops and you have to find your own way.
After grabbing the first one on the trail I grabbed some junk food and a couple of other caches down that way before heading back to the trail.
Very exposed area way up here but thanks to the hint another immediate find was made. Nicely constructed too.
Thanks Mark9375 for the cache, the hunt and the fun.

My caching buddy Slink1 and I are never at a loose end - every time we are its "lets cache" and so it was for today. Any reason is a good reason to get out and about, so out and about we went and found this group of caches. Many thanks to for the cache TFTC TNLN SL

As always any excuse to cache is a good reason to get out and about, we all had an enjoyable time on the hunt. Many thanks to Mark9375 for the cache TFTC TNLN SL
