This cache was totally destroyed by muggles. I am not replacing it.
Thank you to everyone who found it for your kind comments.
This now leaves that area free for a new cache.
Kindest Regards OZ-LV

I found what I assume was once the cache. It was broken into many pieces & strewn all over the place. Also found fairly new log sheet lying on ground. I placed most pieces together along with log in 1 place for CO to find & replace. Tftc
Thanks for your message Magpie, indeed the cache has been totally destroyed.
I am not going to replace it so this area is now free for someone else to make a new hide.
Thanks for the many compliments.
When I put the new log in the cache, there was a trackable from Knott’s Berry Farm in California in there which was not listed on the log and I did not write the number down. If you are the owner, I’m afraid it and all the other bits are gone.

What a cold wind blowing, baby magpies calling,shame people leave a lot of junky stuff in a cache
Pretty much heading towards home but this one was a nice easy pull over to grab. The roads were busy. Any wonder after being locked up….. sorry locked down again. Tftc
Not what we expected but an easy find nonetheless! Log seems a bit water damaged, may need some attention.
This was our final cache in Werribee, a little detour on the way to the final location of a Lab. Some time has gone into making this hide and there was plenty of swag still left inside! No thundering horses today. TFTC
Beautiful day out caching... with MiniMe2000.... clever hide... love caches like this TFTC
In Werribee for the weekend visiting family. I believe this may be where my dad did Archery in the 80’s. TFTC
Another one we walked towards thinking but there is no where to hide one! Then light bulb moment. Aha! Listed TB was not present tho. Tftc it was great.
Found this one last week but forgot my Pen. Came back today with one. Most interesting cache I have seen so far. Great hide. Thank you.
A quick find with spot on co-ords. Not what I was expecting.
Thanks OZ-LV. Picked up TB
Thanks OZ-LV. Picked up TB
Keeping with recent tradition a holiday caching day was planned with Lost_and_found_79 a few days into the New Year. After a morning caching in Altona we headed on to Werribee for our next targets. It turned out to be a fun day with pleasant weather and just a slight smoke haze from the bushfires affecting visibility later. I found 58 new caches for the day including clocking over my 7,000th find. Having found a few around Werribee town centre we headed over the river and on to this one. On approach we were thinking there weren't many places to hide a cache but suddenly there it was in front of us. Swapped a TB, signed log and visited some other trackables. Thanks for the cache OZ-LV.
Annoying Tarbit and I had decided to have a caching day in and around Werribee today. It's not an area I have cached in, so there were plenty of caches to look for on our route around. When we started it was relatively mild and you could see the city from our first caching spot. By the end it was very hot and the smoke haze made it difficult to see much around. We found ~60 and had just the one DNF today.
We drove pretty close to GZ and a the comment "Where do you hide a regular sized cache here?" was muttered. I walked over to something and said "This is how!" A bold cache placement¡ Swapped a TB I brought back from the USA for one that was in there. TFTC OZ-LV

Wanted the souvenir for the last day of the year and hsd work so couldnt make any events. This was a nice walk. Tftc
Out and about last night with Trailstevo. Walked around 13km in total, picked up a bunch of cache and failed on a few too. Obviously we don’t find Eagle Rock, we spent a whole 20sec looking too! Had some excitement bumping in to group of hooligans, twice, not ideal but no harm done. Otherwise, was a good little adventure out. Thanks to all the COs for the hides. TFTC
Out night caching with Gunks. Looked at the weather radar and this looked the driest area, so off we went. Some good hides, some too good and remained unfound. Found this one. TFTC
The "Out By Ourselves While The Kids Are At School" Adventure #6
(Sorry for late logging)
As the label says. We haven't had a date day in a long while, and so...
Can't believe how much driving around in the suburbs we had to do to approach this one. We got there in the end, drove in to what may have been a restricted area, and jumped out. Then the GPS was implying we were on the wrong side of a fence anyway... a big fence with barbed wire on top. I was ready to climb it nonetheless, but the GPS finally decided to give us a better place to look. Thank goodness!
Thanks heaps, OZ-LV!

Not what or where I expected but nicely hidden for this area. Took a travel bug that was in there. All is good with the cache
Really clever hide for this area! I was impressed! Unfortunately a dead phone battery put this impromptu cache trip to an end. Will have to return to Werribee to clear out the rest soon. Tftc
Csoe38 : after 2 weeks ,finally veronique from France exchanged her travel bug with her airplane travel bug .. (airplane a little to large then it requires a rebuild by next traveller
So happy today
