Found using the orienteering directions.
I’m assuming this cache should have been in the same type of container as the other two unfortunately the contents has been dumped on the ground and the container was no where to be seen. The stamp was on top of the pile but the logbook was wet and falling apart.
Thanks snugglebunnies for the caches along this pretty little trail.

Ammo can has been stolen. This one is outside our 5km so will leave disabled until be can get there to replace. Thanks Anna for taking the stamp and decorative box to keep safe.
Last few for the day and a nice discovery! Fab day out to a new destination and lovely walk. A nice enough day with no rain drops to dodge saw a spontaneous new plan to head down on a multi mission that includes working towards 400 caches on the Peninsula and a few more letter boxes - quite a challenge when you live in the mountains Also a great opportunity to meet up with buddies from way back at Flinders after the hunt. TFTC and the FUN
We are staying at Grantville because we are in the area for Saturday's River Garden Working Bee in Bass. Today was our last day and we were heading home.
Heading across the Mornington Peninsula we took the opportunity to find this cache. We turned off the main road and found a lovely park and a pleasant walk to GZ. Letterbox Hybrids are usually fun, and this was no exception with a well camoed hide. Thank you snugglebunnies for this cache.

I was in the area for a snorkeling trip that was sadly cancelled due to the weather but that meant more time for caching
My car went on a little adventure to the start of the trail access point for this cache!
Approaching GZ, i was a little concerned with the long grass and snakes. I wasn't sure about the container as it may also be an animal home and opened it very cautiously... luckily no one was home, only a cache.
Thanks for showing me this trail.

After visiting a friend nearby I decided to grab some letterbox caches amongst others to mix up my find stats.
I wasn’t sure I should really be opening this cache as it would normally be a wildlife home. Perhaps not one to encourage. I signed the log and continued my walk

Nice easy find here while I was in the park for another letter box cache.
While I was signing the logbook I got sprung by a muggle who wanted to know what I was doing so I explained it all to her and she was cooI and wandered off to let me finish signing the log.
I put a bit of camo on top of the box just in case she does come back and investigate.
Thanks for the fun.

Whilst caching in the area we found your cache.
We enjoyed the walk to GZ, cache and contents were in good condition and adding to our favourites.

A nice short walk and an easy find. Sadly the logbook was damp and the cache did not have the bark coverage described in the hint. I replaced the bark and left a few trinkets. TFTC.
We parked nearer the carpark entry than the actual carpark as the gate was locked. We had a great walk to the cache this morning. You wouldn't know this park was here - so thank you for bringing us here. Cache was exposed when we found it - and the log was slightly damp, and the ink in the stamp pad had dried up - nut other than those minor issues we were able to sign the log and then returned the cache to its location and covered it with the hinted camo. TFTC snugglebunnies
Good sized cache! Hints made it easier to find but I thoroughly enjoyed it. The log book is a bit damp but still operable
A quick pull into the car park entry in my little hatchback had me wondering if I was going to make it up the res of the driveway. I jus thad faith in my little car and went forward anyway and it was not as bad as I had initially judged.
A quick find but still exciting to see some regular sized caches in the area. Collected a TB and visited another.
Thanks, snuggle bunnies, for the cache and the series!

Caching day in Bittern area. Came here last year with DNF due to swarm of bees so visit here again to clean up my DNF. Found it and logbook seems very mouldy. Logged done. Thanks snugglebunnies for placing this cache
Finally able to find this one and avenge that unhappy blue face on my map. Easy find but the logbook was soaked and a bit mouldy.
Finally got to get in here without being shot at. This was another easy find, but the logbook was soaked. Still able to enter our stamp though. TFTC!
We couldn't enter the reserve due to not wanting to be shot. (They were shooting and poisoning pests)
Well this is a nice spot although the road in to the parking area is a little muddy in the wet. Went for the gps option for finding this one as I am not the best with directions and PhD seemed easier option
Thanks snugglebunnies for the cache.
Found at 3:46 pm on 10/8/19.

Out with my geo son today doing our first geo trail together. We stopped to checked this one out before we started. Nice easy off set. Thanks for the cache snugglebunnies
Out on a big adventure day with Mum (aka Xambo4u) trying to complete the Jack Speak series so we tried to get a few others along the way. Lovely little walking trail, wished we could have continued further. Cache and log book are very wet.

After a busy day helping my mum move house I needed a cache for today and was not far from here so I went for a walk before it got dark. Showers were threatening but the only rain I got was just after I got in the car at the end...that never happens. Didn't see a single person along the whole walk in both directions which took about 50 minutes round trip finding 4 caches.
This cache I used the orienteering directions and managed to find it nice an easily even though I didn't need the backup GPS coordinates method.
Thanks snugglebunnies for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

I wish i had time to do this cache properly but had to settle with the quick find today because i was running out of time. I do love a letterbox though. A nice big find, tftc
Found it , it was nice to get out on the school holidays and find this lovely walk that I didn't know existed. The Mailkid and I had a great day and found all of these excellent caches along the way. Tftc
My QR reading App isn't working, but I found the "traditional" instructions concise and easy tp follow.
Great to see a decent sized container; thanks for placing & maintaining this cache, snugglebunnies. I left 2 TB that I have been carrying around for a while.

Bee activity very minor now, but to be safe cache in place next to a fallen log 3 meters from original GZ.
Directions in cache description, hidden WP & listed WP all updated.
Good to go!

Making a spur of the moment decision this morning we headed down towards Western Port Bay to tackle the local Letterbox Hybrids and some multi's in the company of beckNmonts.
As we continued our walk we noticed The Queen was only disabled due to bees so we thought we would give it a go anyway. Some of the Irish luck was still rubbing off onto us, as some thoughtful cacher had moved the cache to a safer location making it easy to access.
We were able to do an official curtsy and bow as we signed the log book.
Thanks snugglebunnies for an another official public holiday

We worked out Saint Patrick and then headed here to collect some caches. Some we used instructions, some QR codes, but for all of them we had a walk in a beautiful area, interesting log books and gold hides. We didn’t have much trouble with the bees either. A great time was had by all here, thanks for going to the effort of placing these letterbox caches snugglebunnies

###**CACHE OWNER ACTION REQUIRED PLEASE**###
----------
I notice from one or more log entries that this cache would seem to be in need of some help - **there appears to be a need for owner intervention.**
The guidelines indicated that periodic visits to check on the cache, as well as prompt attention to any logs that indicate there is a problem, are part of the [**cache owners responsibilities.**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines#listingmaintenance) I cannot see any log that indicates a recent visit by the CO to this cache.
If you can't attend to the issue promptly, then you need to [**Disable it.**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=235) Therefore, the cache is being temporarily disabling so as to stop it showing up on search lists and to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.
**Can you please respond to this situation (or indicated your intention) within 14 days, 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:
- Repair and/or Replace your cache or do whatever else is needed, post an [**Owner Maintenance log**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) 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 don't plan on fixing it up then please [**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.
- 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 14 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.
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) the cache 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.

Came by hoping for no bees, alas it seems the hollow is now home to a bees nest. A new location may be needed
After getting back to the car I read a past log that said how the cache had been moved away from the bees. So raced back and made a safe find. All though I will leave the nm log as the cache description and hint indicate a different location for the cache had I not read past logs I would have not found it's new location which is what I'm guess the previous searchers before me did
Accompanied with crank1 for caching day in Hastings area. We both had already solved the puzzle but unfortunately we saw swarm of bees and also a Queen bee (from your word) were surrounding where we find and unable to reach it. Hopefully next time we come back when it all clear.
I wanted to do this series today after work but we had a huge thunderstorm come through. I left work in Flinders and it still raining, by the time i got to the start it had almost stopped. By the time i found this cache the rain was gone.
I have wanted to do this walk for a long time, there is a great variety of habitats and the greens were so vivid after the rain.
Made an easy find in a great hiding spot.
Thanks snuggle bunnies for a great little series and bringing me to a lovely little reserve.
Cheers BWBandit

This was another enjoyable walk on a lovely mild, pre-rain afternoon. The bees were enjoying the tree hollow, so on reading other’s logs, we realised that the cache had been relocated to a nearby and safer location. Thanks so much for another quality cache.
After the event SteMicMitSar and myself headed off to do a few caches. Passing this one on the way to letters to Saint Patrick. Lots of hive activity luckily the cache was a little further away and not to difficult to find. TFTC

I was still up from a crazy overnight caching bender and finally made my way to this location for the initial cache which had lured me down the Peninsular. And in a vintage anticlimax, I couldn't find my target. But "while I was here...", as they say in the classics, I thought I'd aim for this regal smiley and make the most of this circumstantial visit.
I like to choose the traditional letterboxing method where possible, but had today I had no choice due to a dying phone battery.
I rapidly 'found more or less' what I was looking for... FOUND the hide and it had MORE bees and LESS caches than I'd been anticipating. It turns out I hadn't updated the cache info...
Still, I soon found the new hide and gave Her Majesty my autograph.
Speaking of bees, I wonder if Prince Phillip ever called The Queen, "honey"?!
Thanks snugglebunnies.
Always a pleasure.

This took a little work to find the way in as we decided to drive around and save time - ha ha!
All was good once there and found another well stocked and theme cache.
Thanks for another letterbox cache today.

An enjoyable day geocaching with my niece "PrincessFiona" [8)] and my muggle son who drove us around (while adding to his learner driving hours). My niece had control of my GPSr while I used my phone, or my geosense.
This was our third Letterbox for today so we decided to try Method 2 for locating this cache. The tree was found without difficulty but then we heard a buzzing sound coming from the northern side of the tree. I felt like Winnie the Pooh as I extracted the cache from the tree hollow, while avoiding the busy bees who were creating sweet smelling honey in the base of the tree.
My niece and I decided it was best to relocate the cache a few metres to the east (behind a log) until the CO can visit the area.
Thank you snugglebunnies for this cache and the series.

Checked on this one today. All good, however please not there is increased bee activity near by.
My third letterbox on my ‘mail run’ down this side of the Peninsula today. I was looking forward to this set of three letterboxes in close proximity to each other because two were at the listed co-ordinates which would cut down on possible snafus and the other looked to be a bit of an adventure. After locating the car park entry point and parking up I headed down the trail to find what could be found.
This was a quick find after a short walk from the car. All is in good condition and both methods worked a treat. Thanks for the fun, snugglebunnies.

Shame this was the end of this short trail, I loved every minute of it!
I passed one other person on the way to this one but apart from that it was very peaceful
I should really have my own stamp and stamp book because that stamp in the box was really cool!
Thanks for putting out all these caches, I only had ever found 8 letterboxes in the past 3 years until this trip!
Favourite point like all the others

Down from Melbourne for a drive to Hastings and some caches of course.
Mrs P spotted a cluster of Letterbox caches on the app. Wow we have never seen a trail of letterbox caches before. So of course we had to check them out - but not on a public holiday unfortunately. What a beautiful little trail!
It was a bit of a maze in the housing estate to find the entrance to the trail nearest this cache but we got there in the end. We exchanged stamps. It was interesting checking out the themed first day stamp cover letters in the cache. I hope they stay in good condition.
We enjoy letterbox caches and we have a little notebook we carry with us just for letterbox caches. This is the fifthteenth stamp we are adding to it.
The kids of course made some swaps. Its great to find some big containers for the kidlets.
TFTLBC snugglebunnies & for bringing us to this beautiful little trail. It is quite gorgeous.

Suscoe was out and about today in the very good company of Phetlern on the Mornington Peninsular.
It was a cool day with a strong wind blowing for most of the day.
We had a delightful day wandering the roads of this area finding a range of caches in varying locations.
Thanks to the snugglebunnies for this letterbox.
A nice walk for this cache, Happy Birthday HRH!!!!!

Following to suggested parking, was starting to think that I had turned into the wrong spot. Not exactly good for a lowered car, however got to the end and found the trail.
Cache was soon found and opened to find the large amount of work that had gone into the contents. Will have to get the rest of the series soon.
Thanks for the cache snugglebunnies, certainly deserving of a favourite point.
Grabbed the tb.

Continued our walk along the Ted Allen memorial walk and oh what a walk! It sounds like a story but the sun was out, the birds were singing and the geo-kid and geo-toddler were on the hunt!! With a quick stop with a lovely view, and another stop on the couch, we were at the gz. Thanks for another lovely cache snugglebunnies!!
A quick find today. Didn't use the parking locations track looked a little dodgy today.. tftc
Did this cache the easy way, straight to the co-ords. Bit of a wet day and access to the park a bit muddy. Great park but disappointed to see locals had dumped rubbish near entrance. Will try the other caches in area when weather drier. TFTC.
Ok, so we cheated a bit and drove around to the other entrance to pick this one up. Reading previous log by xrocketx, maybe we should have kept walking to see this rest stop...we got to enjoy his logbook entries anyway-if only everyone logged so imaginatively! As for the cache- Supurb, sublime, snugglebunnies standard! Unfortunately we have no favourites left to give- but will reserve some future points for these letterboxes. We're fans! Thank you for the cache!
Hmmm, this one was the furthermost away. But luckily there was an unusual rest stop on the way. Whoever made these things is an absolute legend. Did I take some photos? Hell yeah I did! The cache was an easy find, but like the others was all in good shape, and I left a little message. (forgot to take a photo though if someone else could and post it that'd be epic.) TFTC
Found this wonderful Letterbox cache in a previously unknown to me park. Wish I'd brought my binoculars. First Letterbox cache I've found with a special stamp to put in my book!
Out with Zedaycee for some caching. This was a nice easy walk to gz. Nice to see this stamp hasn't been mugeled dropped off tb happy hiker
Taking a lovely walk and found a lovely stamp in this letter box hide. Stamped and dated. TFTC
Find number 5934 at 8:02:08 am
Out chasing mystery caches today but couldn't go past at least one letterbox.
Nice quick find after a short stroll. Nice stamp.

Find #3153
Another early morning caching run down the peninsula to grab a few caches before heading to work. Having hit Hastings at first light and found four caches there I carried on to this Letterbox Hybrid. I appreciated the suggested parking spot (which was neatly hidden away) and headed along the track on foot. Found the cache easily enough using the posted coordinates but suddenly realised that a TB I had intended to drop was still sitting in the car. A quick dash there and back to the cache and all was in order. Thanks for the cache snugglebunnies.

Today I woke up knowing that i had to head in to Hastings to go and do some shopping so I decided to pick up a handful of caches after I had finished all the chores I had to do. Since this letterbox was so close I just had to go and do it. I have not done many letterbox hybrids but I do enjoy giving them a crack. This cache was quickly found as after following the instructions given a geotrail was quickly spotted to where I had to go to find the cache. The cache was quickly found and signed before I headed to the next letter box cache that is in the reserve. I do wish the queen the best on her day (A bit late but none the less). Thanks for the cache and the walk in the reserve.
I hadn't really been out caching for a while and my caching buddy n0w0rries was keen to find this wonderful series of letterbox hybrids, his enthusiasm for them was contagious and I decided to join in on the adventure.
Thank you for a super thoughtful series, well planned, well placed and superbly created. No detail was overlooked in any that we found that night.
It was a night where we did almost everything twice. In this instance we walked into the cache twice, walking back to the car to retrieve a stamp to stamp the log book with.

Ruverbug Jam and I have our own method of finding geocaches.
We do everything... twice!
Sometimes intentionally.
We parked the *off road* VT at the entrance to Warringine Park and set off along the Ted Harris Walk in the fading daylight.
We took our time and made the most of what little light was left but still managed to walk straight past the warning sign.
RJ spotted it from the other side and we headed north to make the find.
An exceptionally well put together cache.
We signed the logbook and then I realized that I had left my autograph book at home.
Back at the Commodore we grabbed a notebook and walked back a second time to collect our first stamp.
Thank you snugglebunnies, our first letterbox hybrid for the night but not our last.
We do everything... twice!

Found my self free from the family this evening so me and the Geo dog headed to Hastings to hunt for treasure. Hoping for double figures tonight. Fingers crossed! TFTC
I don't work over this side of town very often so when I do I take full advantage.
Having a later than usual start scheduled I also took full advantage of that also.
I've got to the point in my caching game that I don't just do the nearest cache, I target certain varieties. Earth, Virtual, Old and Letterbox is usually the order in which I select my targets.
The snugglebunny caches being letterboxes have excited me in the past so were a natural target today.
Upon arrival at the parking spot I could see long wars in the nearby grass, upon leaving my car I could hear the warning thump thump. .... clearly Thumper had warned Flopsy, Mopsey and Cotton ail, he did warn them too well as they skipped ahead of me on the trail.
I found the Queens letterbox and as usual really enjoyed opening a well executed and themed hide.
It's my junior Queens birthday this weekend and I wish she was here with me to see this she would have loved it.
Thanks snugglebunnies you guys rock.. or is that dig and nibble?

Even better than the easter bunny! Not only full marks for this logbook but you can have a fav point too. It's been quite a while since we've come across first day covers & the stamp was most appropriate. We parked across the road from the designated carpark as things were judged a trifle tight for our motorhome & did a dogleg walk. Method 1 adopted once again. As we walked back to the road a council mowerman (perhaps the same who had prepared our way at the previous letterbox) kindly stopped his clattering & awaited our passage. "You're the first people I've seen here in 15 years" he says. Clearly most cachers sneak in under his guard.
A quick find, after a short walk from the car park. A nicely crafted cache and contents, felt special putting my name in the log book. This cache fills in my 365 day challenge, took duck TB.

Lovely plastic ammo in the bush. There is nothing better!! I used my stamp.
Thanks to snugglebunnies and *clear skies* from TeamAstro. Cache the planet!
This one will complete all of snuggle bunnies hides and we're looking forward to this one as this little nature reserve is just great to walk though. We chose a combinations of methods to get to GZ. Once there a quick search had us looking at another well thought out cache. Loved the theme related props. The log was signed and stamped and back safe again. A favourite point added for your efforts and bringing us here. Left a trackable.

A lovely walk to gz and cache was found in good condition. Signed log and paused for a few minutes just to take in the surroundings.
Thank you very much for placing a cache here.

On our way to collect the Jack Speak series, we turned off the road and picked this up on the way. This was the perfect cache for me - QueenK8 - on my birthday caching trip! A fave point from me

The long-planned birthday cache run finally arrived! Having discovered that Omegaman1971 and I were born only two days apart, we agreed to go caching to celebrate our almost-joint birthday. Omegaman invited a few geocaching friends along, and we soon had a couple of cars full. After birthday cake and presents in Hastings, we piled into cars and started out on the Jack Speak series. We had planned this trip months earlier, and had long since solved the puzzles. We picked up a few other caches along the way to add to our collection of smiley birthday faces In the end, I did find my 1000th cache; it was nice to do it with such a great group of geocaching friends!
Thank you to everyone who placed and maintains caches in the region. I look forward to completing more of them when I move down to the Peninsula next year...

Found after having a small birthday bash in Hastings and making our way along the Jack Speak series, this one was a quick detour off the main road and and after a short but slightly soggy walk we soon had the cache in hand, thanks snugglebunnies for the hide.
So we now have more in our party of cachers. We had a Queen with us and it seemed quite appropriate for her to do this cache and also to get her 1000th cache. omegaman's wife's car was not capable of doing this mud so we walked the last section. Next time one of my 4WDs instead. Great area. Thanks snugglebunnies - we saw one of your relations running across the track as we walked back to the cars.
Out with the Birthday Team (Morcs4, QueenK8, Promontory, Omegaman1971) to celebrate two birthdays. Thanks for the cache.

Out and about with Geo pals , Happy Pants,Morcs4,QueenK8 Promontory and (._o) on this great Melbourne Saturday to smash some caches and to celebrate QueenK8's and my Birthday's. And to get QueenK8's 1000th cache. Lots of mud on the road in, but awesome place to watch some local nature fly-by.
Cheers for the cache

You know, I think I've sought a letterbox in this general area before. My standard procedure with these has been to follow the letterbox-y instructions wherever possible and I'm pleased to say that approach worked just fine again here. Careful attention to the finer details of the contents is again readily apparent. Very nice. Thanks again for your ongoing contribution to the letterbox hybrid genre, snugglebunnies!
I chose method 2 for locating this cache with Method 1 as a backup (just in case)
Another great cache from Snugglebunnies. Easily found, great cache and great contents
Signed and stamped the log and returned as found before moving on to 'Letters to The Easter Bunny'. Many thanx

Out and about with BorisB&Natasha when this one popped up on the map. Woohoo!! Another snugglebunnies letter box cache. I do love the traditional way of finding them, it really adds a bit more to the cache. Gets a fav point from me for another well themed cache.
Thanks snugglebunnies, can't wait for the next one

We were interstate when this got published so wasn't even aware it was here. Passing through the area I noticed it on my map and we just had to stop for a look. Love a letterbox cache and especially snugglebunnies ones as they are always so well presented. This was no exception, I love all the detail you go to and earns a favourite point from me.
Thanks snugglebunnies for the cache and I suppose we can all look forward to the next one around Cup Day.

After having a successful mission finding Black Hawk Down,
I continued around the area to find a few of the newer ones that have popped up since I was last down this way.
I noticed this letterbox on the map, so I had to make my way over so that I could try and find it.
I drove down the wet and muddy track to the start of the trail, (thanks for the parking waypoint otherwise I wouldn't have known I could drive in) I then headed off on foot and a short time later I had covered the 100 metres, time to look around, shortly after the good size cache was found.

Brilliant! The geomobile got a (slightly muddy) wash on the way. Cache was great. Almost took the first day covers but then saw the note. Another brilliant cache from snugglebunnies. TFTC, Brainiac03
