Hi snugglebunnies,

This cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. The cache is being temporarily disabled, so as to remove it from search listings and discourage people from visiting this location until the issues/s with this cache can be addressed.

Whilst it is recognized that as a result of the current COVID19 situation, it might not be possible for a Cache Owner to just pop out and check on a cache, we still need to know that you are on top of the issue.

CO's of caches disabled during the current COVID19 crisis will be given some extra time to react. Caches where the cache owner does not currently feel it is safe to maintain will not be archived in the normal time frame, as long as there is some indication from the CO. **Don't let a lack of communication kill this cache.**

#What should you do:-#
- Should the Regional Health and State Government requirements allow it **AND** you feel it safe for you to maintain this cache now, please feel free to do so.

#Please Note#
When the cache is next checked by a Reviewer, if the issue has not been addressed, or there is no acknowledgment from the CO as requested above, it will be assumed the cache has been abandoned and processed accordingly.

**JUST A HINT:-** In case you are not aware, there is a new Geocaching Dash Board designed to assist a Cache Owner in managing the caches they own.

Last found 20/05 - reportedly at the toilets at Jacks Beach - which are a long distance from posted coords - about a km or so! Person finding states in their log they did not take back to listed coords so cache needs to be checked & replaced if needed. Thanks
 
29-Jun-20
We looked where we thought it should be and then looked in other places as well, but to no avail. Maybe another time .. .
 
28-Jun-20
Out for a quick walk thought id try for a few of the series, sadly lots of muggles around so this was one of only a couple i could try for -& failed ti find. Notedin the logs someone had said they’d found this one at Jacks Beach toilets - could it still be there?? Think some maintenance is needed or at least a check over the series to make sure they are still in place. Will re try another day (maybe when the water is not so high!)
 
31-May-20
Unfortunately missing.

Very disappointed that most are missing on this track

Couldn’t find today we’ll come back another time and look

Found at the toilets at jacks beach couldn’t take back we forgot the Lil ones puffer
 
24-Mar-20
Today we tackled this trail finding caches along the board walk, we enjoyed the walk on a nice sunny day.

Cache and contents were in good condition.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

A lovely walk, and the mangroves were cool. Loved the long boardwalk, but it wasn't so fun when we were heading back and got a little rained on.
 
01-Dec-19
After parking the car and grabbing some lunch, we first went out and deduced the co-ords for the nearby multi, before heading out to do a few of these caches on this brilliant walk. We really enjoyed the walk, despite a few smatterings of rain and luckily we were back in the car before it began pelting down. TFTC!
 
20-Nov-19
Stoped to popup the sun block and picked up another in the series

Great series! TFTC

Stopped to rest. Made quick find.

NEMO is back where he should be. All good.
 
18-Oct-19
I spotted NEMO in the scrub near BRUCE. Obviously not where it should be, so I have taken it and will put it in its right place in the next day or two.

Found this series with the GeoKids and muggle husband a few weeks back. Lots of fun.
 
24-Mar-19
The miniest cacher again with the find
 
04-Mar-19
The goal for today was to have a short to medium length walk and find some caches. I thought this series would do nicely given that it was approximately 4km in length, had at least one puzzle cache to keep my daily puzzle streak going and there were a couple of old neighbouring caches which were worth finding as well.
The walk was excellent and although a couple of the caches took some finding all were eventually found. As is my custom I'm awarding the final in the nemo series a representative FP for the effort and time taken to setup the series. In this case given the natural beauty of the route I think I'll add that in as a justification for the FP.
A CO might also wonder whether they should have 2 FPs given that there are two discrete series'. Well, given the location of one of the finals and it's clear enticement to have people start and complete both series' together I'll take that as a cue to treat both as one extended series Wink
Thanks for the fun and the exercise, snugglebunnies.

Another visit to the Mornington Peninsula saw us completing the 4 children's themed series. With perfect conditions we enjoyed the walk along the boardwalk, taking in the views of the wetlands as we found each well concealed cache. Collecting the clues from each character we soon had the finals and a bonus Piglet Puzzler as well.
Thanks snugglebunnies for the fun series, we are sure kids will especially love doing them.
 
22-Feb-19
Today, on a quest for Piglet, we stumbled across this NEMO series! Of course we just had to find them all, whilst waiting out a fair few muggles. Thanks for an interesting series, that made the walk more interesting snugglebunnies

Nope! No joy today
 
26-Nov-18
This one has gone missing previously, so there is actually a decoy attachment at GZ to through off the regular muggles.

Won't disable it just yet, but will check it out next time we're on the walk.
 
25-Nov-18
Can see where it should have been, but nothing found.
Thanks anyway.
 
01-Nov-18
Found where I think it should be but nothing

A dnf here. There is nothing where the hint indicates except for something that you would magnetise something to.
 
30-Sep-18
Did not find you Nemo maybe muggled ?
 
18-Aug-18
Good spot for another rest, so quiet and relaxing here. Was able to stamp this one
 
10-Aug-18
Had a great part 2 of the walk. Windy and sunny.
 
05-Aug-18
I had all intentions of coming down here to tackle some Jack Speak puzzles, to see whether I was on the right track, instead we focussed on these ones & Im so glad we did as we had a wonderful time.
 
27-Jul-18
Out and about for a nice long walk and thought I would tackle this series of caches. Thanks for the cache

After a horrible day at work in the wind i thought I'd go for a walk and grab some caches on the way home.
Very vigorous regrowth from the bushfires a couple of years ago. How many people would never know this cache is here!
Thanks snuggle bunnies for this cache and the series.
Cheers BWBandit
 
21-Jul-18
Geokid is getting a bit tired now but loved the swaps in this one
 
24-Jun-18
We had headed to this area for a walk, with the partner taking photographs of the wildlife whilst I was looking for caches. As I have been a bit slow in logging these, I don't actually remember much about this one (how embarrassing). I know I found Nemo though Smile

TFTC!
 
17-Jun-18
Another easy find. Nice walking track. SL TFTC!
 
07-Jun-18
We walked the 8km return walk between Jack's Beach and Salmon Street today. My companions aren't so keen on caching so I had to limit myself to a few caches that were quick finds. Hard to do when I could see there were so many caches in this location, but oh well, it just gives me reason to come back another day to do them all. My senses told me there was probably a cache in this spot so I looked in the logical spot and yes, there one was. First find for the day. Recorded the clue inside. TFTC.
 
30-Apr-18
This was another enjoyable cache in this series. We really enjoyed this flat walking track and the view of wetlands, birds
 
29-Apr-18
Great find along the track

GPS was playing around for this one but soon had it sorted. Thanks to snugglebunnies for placing this cache.

Found on 15 Apr 2018 at 1:20 pm.
Even with the rubbish weather this weekend Fleabag- was keen to get his 4,000th cache so we packed the umbrella's for a tour of the mornington peninsula this afternoon using the Piglet's puzzles as a rough guide to time his milestone with the finding of the final with 18 caches needed.
We headed off down the Monash freeway and I was not concentrating and clearly neither was Fleabag- as he took the wrong turn and then immediately picked up a hitchhiker caught in the rain who had run out of petrol and also had no mobile
phone to make any calls. Luckily he wasn't a serial killer and we dropped him off at the next exit while we made a u-turn and headed back in the right direction.
A bit further down the road cars were everywhere up ahead and as we slowed down a 4WD had flipped on it's side and people were helping the guy get out. With the dozen or so cars already helping we moved on. No other major incidents for the day except on the way home when what looked like a lot of water spray off the freeway was actually someone's cooling system exploding. Never seen so much steam and really unlucky to overheat when it was only 14 degrees.
Despite the constant showers and strong winds our umbrellas held up and we achieved our goal.

While heading into puzzler 4'oclock we noticed all these here and ended up getting very distracted from the task at hand and ended up doing the whole series. Managed to work out the final without the 1st two clues which saved us a lot of backtracking
Thanks snugglebunnies for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

31 Mar 2018, Found @4:34 pm, Find # 1391

After attending the event this morning in Cranbourne I decided to join SteMicMitSar in completing a few of the letterbox caches and then onto this series.
A short search at GZ with us turning up the cache. A quick bit of maths and on to the final.

Thanks to snugglebunnies for placing this cache
 
31-Mar-18
*31/3/18, Found @ 4:32 pm, Find # 7727.*

After attending this mornings event at Cranbourne, I then headed out with jascat to find a few more caches.
This series was next on the agenda for today, the bikes were deployed and we made our way along the trail.
We arrived at another one of these which we had looked at, at some of the previous hides but it was never there, this time was a little different and we soon had the cache in hand, now to work out the final.

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

Thanks for the cache. Took maze game and left cheetah

Chtistmas Eve and a perfect afternoon for a maintenance run. All in good order here, but magnet needs to be glued back in at some point.

Really enjoyed finding these caches. The walk was lovely and there was a good variety of containers and hides.

Ticking along surprised we haven't all fallen off this track.

For once it was almost in the first and most obvious place I looked. Grass growing long around structure made me a bit more cautious but didn't see any "big wrigglers " . TFTC

Wowee mozzie depot! Wit taz_6
 
15-Oct-17
With lisyb. Too many mozzies to stay here too long today
 
14-Oct-17
Quick and easy find-just as well as mosquitoes were trying to carry us away! Quick sign off the log, grab the clue and we are out of there. Thanks for the cache.
 
14-Oct-17
Another easy find thankfully as the mossies were out in full force!
Thanks for the fun
 
09-Oct-17
The last trad! Great to see a non-bison, the little one loves poking through all the swaps. He was the one who found it too. Helps being short sometimes.
Signed, replaced carefully, then sat down to figure out co-ords to the Puzzle.
 
04-Oct-17
Found it! Mozzie is driving us crazy!
 
29-Sep-17
I had a bit of troubles with this one, not because of the hide but because of muggles! The coast seemed clear both when I grabbed the cache and replaced, but both times a muggle came out of nowhere on their bike!

I told them both that I saw some sort of lizard on the path and it crawled underneath so I was checking it out Razz A good excuse which killed both of their curiousities when they asked what I was looking for.

TFTC

After finishing the letterboxes down the road I made my way to this trail. Wow I did not expect anything like this! The wetlands were awesome, must of taken a lot of effort to build all those elevated paths. There were a couple people here today but not too many. Overall a peaceful and interesting walk! Thanks for these caches snugglebunnies
 
29-Aug-17
Very late log [27/11] to wipe the blue 'DNF' icon that sticks out distractingly from the map. I found this one the same day I found the *Finding Dory* caches to the south. It turned out that the replacement cache was indeed exactly where it wasn't when I came seeking it a few months before that. Thanks snugglebunnies!
 
20-Aug-17
Down this way from Melbourne as middle child wanted to go to a beach and look for crabs in the rockpools. Also Mrs P has been wanting to do this series with the kids for quite a while - so today is the day.

We take a rest here after Will finds the cache, to compute the answers to the puzzle.

The bench is just in the right spot to take a load off the feet. We enjoy a quick break and then off to the puzzle!

TFTC snugglebunnies.

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 worked out a plan, drop most of the gang at the northern end, then Mr. S headed for the southern end and walked up to meet the travellers heading south.
The plan worked well and the caches were found along the way.
Thanks to the snugglebunnies for this hide.
We don't know much about this story really, just seen bits and pieces of it.

Our second day on the Peninsula, following a course charted by Cap'n Suscoe. We really enjoyed the walk through the wetlands, it was quite sheltered after a morning in the wind. Friends and Good Samaritans, to find. A couple of us with short term memory issues, but all with the optimism to find Nemo!

**FEEDBACK TO CO:** This cache is in need of a little TLC, as the attraction of the cache to its host has come unstuck.

Thanks snugglebunnies for placing another fun series, for everyone's enjoyment.

We found this cache today at 3:15pm as number 18 of 25 on our Hastings Harbour Hunt. A nice little sanctuary after being off of dry land for a fair while. Thanks from D & HA B-A.
 
24-Jun-17
Came back to get Nemo and complete our line of smiles. He was exactly where we thought he'd be so we told geogirl she could make the find. She crawled under and was proud as punch to make a find. Finished the series now. Hooray!
 
05-Jun-17
Found this one last night with Trailstevo. Heading for Hastings for a few drivebyes and some short walks. Ended up doing the Nemo series and some speed walking. Was a good evening out with over 20 finds, some exercise and some naughty chocolate along the way TFTC.

After picking up the Childhood series we moved across and tackled the Nemo one too. A successful night. Although I expect this area is better to view in the daytime, the cold winter night meant we had the place to ourselves. Thanks for the series.
 
03-Jun-17
Found it. TFTC
 
21-May-17
Checked on this one today... yes it had indeed gone missing. Cache has now been replaced. Hopefully it doesnt go missing again.
 
07-May-17
Looked high, low and around with tassie expat to no success but used available clues to find the last one. This particular cache requires attention but thanks for placing this series.
 
07-May-17
As stated by previous loggers, this appears to be missing. Used geosenses to calculate the final co-ords.
 
28-Apr-17
Yep, I had a look as well but no sign of it here.
I was waiting for my lunch and looking through logs before starting my quest when I decided to email the CO and they helpfully supplied me the final clue for the puzzle.

Thank You!!
