I cannot see any information that indicates that steps have been taken to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement. Therefore as advised previously, the cache is being Archived to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

no more

Cricket game on. Will have to come again.

Had the general idea of it but could have been completely wrong, darn that i am so small.

I quit! (I’m such a quitter...) Unable to find this on my own despite a very thorough search. Unfortunately my 6”6 partner was at a nearby pub at a work drinks farewell, coulda used his height, after reading all the found logs. Next time.

Could see it but too many muggles watching to retrieve without drawing suspicion will return at some time

I was making my way to the bay for a day of caching by the bay and thought that I most stop off an grab a few on the way there.

It was reasonably early in the morning so I had no problem getting a parking spot. At the GZ there was a maintenance man working nearby but I was still able to get to the cache unseen. A quick find. TNLN. TFTC.

Well hidden. Had to use my phone as an extra eye to see high enough. TFTC

Found it! After viewing the Twenty Melbourne Painter's Annual Art Exhibition we went caching! A quick find with no nose bleeds! TFTC SL

Filling in time on a wet and cold afternoon while my wife was in Cabrini Day Surgery...not many caches in the area so I have just about found them all as we have been having more visits there than we would like.

A quick find with no one around...thanks Hoeinir for the cache and the history lesson.

Yep

Geodad made sense of the clue and found the cache. TFTC

Out and about for a quick park and grab. Lovely view out east and of the dog owners playing ball.

Enlisted the help of a tall muggle to reach the cache for me.
I'm much too short for some caches.

Find #3371

Had some spare time on a Sunday evening so I headed out after dark to check a few in an area that I have passed through recently but not stopped to cache. I was just about to head home and I remembered this one which was only a small diversion for me. There were a few kids hanging around nearby on the oval but they soon moved off for more privacy once I started poking around near to GZ. I struggled a bit to locate this one and eventually put out the PAF call to gmj3191. He was able to offer some guidance and a good suggestion to overcome my natural disadvantage here! After that I was able to make the find. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables. Thanks for the cache Hoeinir.

Cache and lid found on the ground. No contents. I have replaced it to where I thought it would be.

Placed some cardboard to replace the log. TFTC.

**Find # 5259**
**Time: 11:17 am**
**Date: 26 May 2017**
Found without any problems.
Left an emergency log book which will keep things under control for a whole.
It was very quiet at GZ, however the oval had two figures out in the middle creating quite a lot of noise.
One seemed to be a Real Estate Agent, and the other his apprentice, being coached in the art of auctioneering.
Several magnificent properties were successfully auctioned as I watched, and there was even a simulated vendor consultation, before another few hundred thousand were whacked onto the final price resulting in a highly profitable commission for the agency.

**Thanks for placing this cache Hoeinir. **

Local school kids avoided. Cache found

Looks like this one might've been hit for 6 - swung by with SirJ-Oz tonight to make the find and he was quite surprised when I came up empty. He double-checked where he'd found it previously but no joy, even with some monkey business and checking around the drop zone (including the long drop).

Find #2976. Found @ 17:56 with The Good Lady Wife.

We'd dropped the kids off to go to the footy with their grandfather, and were thinking about making dinner plans, but it was a smidgen too early. I suggested grabbing a cache and TGLW agreed.

We tried for a puzzle we'd solved ages ago, and it went missing. It has since been replaced, but it looks like it is in a different location because we couldn't find it. We came here instead.

A quick find once we got to GZ as it was visible on approach. There were a bunch of sporting people arriving (lacrosse?), but the darkness concealed our actions.

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

Julesc21 and I ducked out during break in rehearsal at Malvern Town Hall to find this cache. It was a bit of an adventure with minimal light, but two mobile phones torches were just about sufficient. Since we are both somewhat height challenged it was not straightforward to retreive the cache once we spotted it, so it definitely took some teamwork! TFTC

During the break of a rehearsal at Malvern Town Hall, Diana8 and I went to find this cache. It was cold and dark, but our phone lights helped guide us there, and it required some teamwork to retrieve the case, since neither of us are very tall. TFTC.

Anzac Day, in the middle of the city grabbing a few caches with only a few muggles about. This was a quick find for the geo teen, who was only too happy to sign log, as I took a look about.
Thanks Hoeinir for placing the cache for us to find.

Hard to remain inconspicuous when retrieving this one but we tried our best! TFTC

Found on Good Friday on a cache run with the kids. Thanks.

Nice hide in a nice place. Thanx

it was pretty quiet here this morning - just as well considering what I had to do to access the cache. I faound it pretty quickly, but while I am under average height, I am not particularly short, but even so, I could not reach the cache. Back to the car for a height extension device and finally an easy grab. It is a lovely old grandstand.

I needed a cache for today's calendar so took the kids out with me on our way to dinner and I am glad I did because the other logs indicated some climbing involved so I assumed it was a tree.
The cricket practice was just finishing up and everyone was leaving so that was good timing. I had my daughter on my shoulders so I was that little bit taller and we spotted the container and shortly afterwards we had it in hand.
Thanks Hoeinir for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

We had planned on looking for a cache today to fill a calendar spot, but the atrocious weather had put us right off. Just as we were about to turn the car homeward I had a brainwave - what about that one in Malvern? Perfect we had driven past it before and there were heaps of muggles on the grounds practicing various forms of physical exercise - but not today. Not in the rain!

Fortune favours the geocacher today and the drizzle stopped just as we pulled up. We got out, found the cache, signed it and were back in the car before the drizzle started up again. Perfect!

TFTC - lovely little spot this. We drive down Glenferrie Road quite often - I had no idea there was a sports ground here.

The GPS was initially a little vague and we searched a few spots. Finally I managed to reach something and was able to retrieve the container. Nice little challenge. TFTC.

After dropping mummy off at work round the corner, this was a teamwork retrieve and replace with the geokids. They also got some up and down exercise.

I had this cache in my views as i headed to the city so along the way i grabbed this one. thanks for the cache.
Close to giving up then oh wait there it is.

Joined FTF with n0w0rries, mark9345 and 4bait

Joint FTF with n0w0rries! 1k2ate and Mark9375. We got the notification but waited 15 or more minutes before leaving while umming and arhhring whether or not to go and find it. Well obviously we decided to go and were wondering who else might be there. Well we arrived at Gz and straight away saw a familiar car in the car park. We started zeroing in with the gps when n0w0rries appeared out of the darkness we looked here and there and went up and down few times before spotting the container. N0w0rries and I both reached for it at the same time but he was on the right side to to get the grab TFTC

Joint {FTF} with 4bait, mark9375 & 1k2ate at 21:20
A nice piece of history here.
Terrain may be a little under rated.
Thanks for the cache hoenir

We were sitting at home watching the television when we got a notification, we saw it was a cache nearby....

Only 11.2km from home, we knew n0w0rries would have a better chance at getting there first, so I stupidly sent him a message if he was already there or about to leave, but of course I alerted him about it, ten minutes later Rod was there and maybe 5 minutes later than that we were,

We searched high and low, side to side dodging the few police muggles that had recently knocked off!

Eventually Rod said the magical words, and the log was signed as a joint FTF, we then drove over to a nearby cache

Thanks for the hunt and find TFTC
