Destroyed Greensborough, Victoria, Australia
By atsmug on 15-Aug-17. Waypoint GC7A44D

Is it still there

found it !! that's the smallest most interesting cache. smart spot , thankfully we did have my 6'3 geoboyfriend with us otherwise i would have struggled lol. thank you !!!

TwoEms are glad that at least one of us is naturally advantaged, otherwise the other one of us was going to climb into a trolley. Thank you for the cacheit must have been the fumes.

Cool find whilst getting bubble tea from the plaza. TFTC

Fun find. Thks

We retreated from a nearby multi cache when it got too dark to see where I was walking and rain threatening. A traditional cache in a shopping centre car park seemed a much more comfortable idea. It was dry and some light near GZ was useful. Luckily I had my Walking Ladder with me and he spotted the tiny cache much quicker than my cataract ridden eyes could in the low light. He also was able to reach the it , although he did say it was even a stretch for him, but a long train of trolleys under the cache did make it more difficult. Thanks for the fun cache, atsmug.

Using the provided clues was able to find it fairly quickly without being spotted. Thanks.

Nice, easy find. All in good condition. TFTC

Found after hours. Tiniest one Ive ever seen. Im glad Im tall

Right so out here with my 6 month old daughter, found the cache, retrieved it, then had to wait awhile for the peak hour muggles to die down to return, Im average height but could not reach even on tippy toes.

Fleabag- has a goal to reach 10,980 geocaches before departing Australia to celebrate a big 11,111 milestone overseas and invited me to join for a day's caching.Navigating in and out of this car park, was more difficult than finding the cache!thanks for the hide and find on a quiet new year's day.

Currently trying to finish the year with a few finds to etch closer to my 11,111th cache.Out with KristysAdventures today with the sun shining down.This cache was a challenge but all good in the end.Thanks to atsmug for the fun and the adventure.

#23 10/12/2023 @12:53pmCant recommend trying this in the middle of the day on a weekend.Required a great deal of patience and some lucky timing to get this undirected.

Been wanting to do this for a while now. Was a quick find and yes a big stretch! TFTC

I thought picking this up early on the Sunday would be a smart idea in terms of lack of muggles. I was right...after a short walk around GZ the cache was spotted. Picked the right opportunity to grab it into between traffic. No tippy toes needed for me thankfully. PS I loved the scenic car parks views...

As soon as the GPSr settled, I spotted the cache right after. Thanks for colour coding the altitude.

Thanks!

With the little Geosausage dog in hand we looked high and the Geospy kid found it.
Well done ????

This one turned into a quick park and grab for me. Park right beside it and spotted it within a minute. Tftc

A car park adventure!. After visiting several caches around Greensborough today we had a bite to eat at the plaza. Ninja Tortoise told me there was a cache on the floor near where we parked that she had seen last year and due to being vertically challenged (163cm) had some issues with and didn't log. I started up my GPS and located it quickly, also being 180cm, no problems for me, signed the log avoiding the muggles that were around in abundance. TFTC

Found with icw. I observed this cache last year and decided I could probably reach it but how was I going to get it back? Propitiously in the vicinity today with someone considerably taller than me meant I could at last sign the log. Tftc.

The orange clue is essential. Was a strech for me: David

Fluked a park right beside it! Had to jump and poke out before I could jump and grab. I am a shorty! TFTC

Tftc

Sneaky spot

Found

Quick find, lucky I came after hours car park was empty

Great cache! went to the wrong level a couple times but got there eventually. glad i had some tall mates with me. TFTC!

The cache that this is sitting instead of is one that I regret never having the opportunity to look for, as I enjoy hiding spots like this, and by all accounts, it was really something special.

I've been meaning to at least honour it by visiting, but had, up until today, been pressed for time.

So walking around from the Memorial Park, I made my way on foot through the largely empty site. That made this a bit of a surreal experience.

Once at the right altitude, the find was a quick one.

Thanks, atsmug. Keep up your unique handiwork. It's appreciated, all the more so when it ends up being ephemeral.

Tftc, found with fourtwelve on our roadtrip home from Halls Gap

Tftc, #16 for the road trip with lilbassgirl. Nice and easy one to find.

Once we were in the right placed and parked, lucky we parked next to the cache. Just a matter of finding the right spot! Despite the time not too many people in this area!

Found It!
Drove up to the orange level and managed to get a park right next to the cache. Then found it after a quick search of the area!
TFTC

This was a classic example of "Why I really need to read cache descriptions thoroughly, to save myself a lot of extra walking."

Suffice it to say I did not do this. At least, not to start with, and so my feelings of cleverness at parking a few meters from (apparent) GZ quickly faded, after looking around a bit and going, "Is that orange? Some might think it's a bit orangey... If you squint..."

Dear Reader, it was not, as it turned out, a bit orangey.

Deciding not to use the car, I started walking and eventually attained the level of orangeness though, and the wee container was swiftly located, log signed, a trackable visited and then I began the trek back down to my car...

Thanks for the cache, atsmug.

This was a tough one. I couldn't find the previous version and it was only after and extended search that I spotted this. I did have to wait until those muggles had moved on though.
Thanks for the fun here atsmug

Redemption!!! Have to come back to sign log as I came whilst waiting for my dumplings and didn't have a pen but so happy!

Spent many minutes searching with tall husband to no avail. Devastating end to date night haha will be back

Out and about with my Geo-buddy Rebel Acts to tackle some Adventure labs and hopefully put some smiles on the maps.

I was lucky to spot the container as we approached from the right direction.

It was also great to have the sun back with no rain today.

Cheers for the cache!

Found by Rebel Acts in the company of Omegaman1971

Out and about on another of our weekend caching trips, today we were chasing a few new labs and a couple side tracked caches. Lots of fun and laughs as always were had while out exploring the area.

This is one of the caches found today. Once we were at the right level omegaman soon spotted this one, no trouble reaching it for us.

Thanks atsmug for the cache.

After remembering that GPS isnt accurate under concrete and using the map it was an easy find very high muggle traffic to worry about. Great cache
Thanks

TFTC

Cool cache! Found almost instantly just by luck!!

Quick easy find with a new log inside. Lucky I was tall enough and didn’t have to get up on my tippy toes to grab it. TFTC

Found after grabbing a snag at Bunnings Mernda in support of [The Whittlesea Event 2022](https://coord.info/GC8EW40).
Log full, no worries. Log replaced with a new, stone paper strip.
Signed and returned to its hiding place.
Thanks atsmug. **BTW; [Trolley Return](https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC68WAJ) was a fantastic creation!**

Found - cache log not signed as no room left.

Log is messy and damaged so unable to sign.

Found it

Second try and found it, it's much what I expected but my phone came up a bit different to the satellite view. The log is a bit full or messy, I wasn't brave enough to open it fully but I did find room to sign. TFTC.

Great hide. Nice spot. Good distraction from shopping. Log is full.
TFTC.

Nice one! Hiding in plain sight but still tricky to spot

A very simple find that can be spotted at distance, i was so close the whole time and still took a couple of minutes to find

Might be because we are short hahaha

Great spot! very clever

Found OK this morning. With restrictions and being a Sunday nice and quiet for searching. Had trouble finding this one before but this time it was so obvious I wonder if it has been moved?

Quick to spot

It was so hard I had to look for ages

Tftc

??

Thank god I brought my tall date @nsapsead! ttfc! My #200!!!

Tftc

Easy

I was over in Greensborough this morning... and finally decided that it was time to go find this cache. An easy find once I found my way to the right level... yes, I know we are told which colour but I had assumed it was the top level for clear view of the satellites...

Thanks **atsmug** for the cache.

The cache is actual visible from some distance if you know what you're looking for.
Tftc

Found

As frequent Greensborough Plaza visitors, this one has been on the radar for a while. Had the opportunity to grab it today. Didn't take us too long to find, but did need to jump! TFTC

Very quiet today due to the long weekend. An easy find (although the kids might not be tall enough). Unfortunately, we forgot to bring a pen, so didn't sign the log. TFTC!

found it, had to jump

It has been a long time since we’ve been in a shopping centre as we’ve mainly been doing online orders for all of our shopping. Today we were back. After a big shopping session at target followed by lunch at the food court my oldest daughter and I had time to pop out to the orange level car park whilst my wife and youngest daughter were at the body shop. We spotted it straight away and also saw the remnants of the old cache. We thought how nice it would be if there were plants in the garden bed here rather than just weeds and rubbish. Thanks for a great hide here atsmug. A nice sneaky little nano in a place you wouldn’t expect a cache.

Not just tippy toes for me — I’d need to come back with a step ladder

My other half was tall enough. Tiniest one I’ve seen so far! TFTC!

Loved the original cache. Pity it was destroyed. I was at the shops today and one the orange level., So thought I'd tick this one off as well.

Found

Find number 8330 at 4:52:39 pm
Had to go to Watsonia this afternoon and so this was right in the way of my drive home.
A quick find once I had worked out the correct layer and it was tippie toes for me
Cache container sanitised after use.
**Thanks for placing this cache atsmug**

Found after some exercise. Thanks atsmug

Very small and sneaky!

Great job this was our first!

found it

I avoid shopping centres and if not for this cache, the last traditional in the Greensborough area, I wouldn't have come here at all. Mercifully the car park was as far as I needed to come, and only briefly, because the hide was readily spotted. Now I've just got a river of Mysteries flowing from Diamond Creek down to Heidelberg to clear. Thanks astmug for this one.

Had an awesome time finding this one after grabbing lunch at the Plaza. Such a clever hide! Definitely would not have found it without my caching partner. Thank you!

02/02/2020 21:41 Nice Hide in a not to obvious spot, Thankfully I was able to wrestle the nano open and close without my usual tools. TFTC atsmug TNLN SL

Very nice hide, not in what I thought was the most obvious place.
TFTC

Heading out with TrailsStevo last night, did a quick weather check on all four corners of the Melbourne Suburb's and the NW was looking favourite. On collecting Trailstevo, we commented on two newly published cache, and we were going to pass them anyway so we thought we may as well grab them. On arrival a Geo-vehicle was already there, checke dteh trackable number on the back window, it was NoWorries! So we set off for the furthest cache hoping to beat him to it but we were too late. Had a good little catch-up and continues on, bumping into Long John Silver on the way back. Then headed off back onto Plan A, the NE, where we had a mixture of finds and DNF's. A fun evening, thanks everyone.

Headed out to Plenty and surrounds with Gunks, but on the way we were passing a couple of new releases. Probably going to be too late as they were an hour or so old and that proved to be the case with noworries returning as we headed out. Found them and then bumped into LongJohn Silva as we returned. Continued on with the plan but had a mixed night. Was almost ready to give up then success. TFTC

It's been a while since we've been caching but we decided to change that today. I don't know why it has taken so long for me to get to this particular cache. I intended to do it since the original cache was first published. It was raining by the time we got here so it was good to do a cache under shelter. We're hoping to get to 1000 by the end of the year, but that's been the goal for the last three years so I guess we'll have to wait and see. haha. TFTC.

After shopping with my daughter, time to get the cache. It’s waterlogged. Cheers.

This one has OH SO MANY possibilities. Luckily the find didn't take as long as it could have. Sneaky little blighter. Thanks for the cache.

the gps had me wandering about for a bit, there.


tftc.

Nice easy cache and while going shopping

Again I felt short of not reading all the instructions. Nice easy found once I read what level I was to be on. This is the only time for me to be at the shopping centre when it’s closed. Thanks for the cache

Went to find it during the Museum mystery challenge but found I needed a hand to get to it! Back with family today, tftc!

Such a coincidence. We always park on this level and usually very close to gz. A quick one before heading in to the shops which has earned us a International Geocaching Day 2019 souvenir. TFTC atsmug

I was so absorbed by trying to find the evidence of the previous cache on the ground that it took me a little while to spot this nano. Retrieval was managed by getting creative with items from my handbag, by replacement required assistance from my caching partner.

I wish we could have checked out Trolley Return as well - from previous logs it sounds like it was really interesting. TFTC

A cold windy corner of the world. I have been in this car park many times over the years but never thought I would be looking for a cache here! A bit of fun after a morning at the pictures. TFTC

Found @15:05 after a short day at work and some light retail therapy. I figured school pickup time would be the ideal timing to grab this but as I made the jump a car pulled up and watched me for a while before moving on and I pretended to enjoy the late afternoon sun from my rather unorthodox leaning place. TFTC!

Easy find now that I know what a nano cache looks like !
