A Peaceful Piece of Pennydale Cheltenham, Victoria, Australia

Sorry everyone. Thank you n0 w0rries for the info. As we have recently moved to Sydney, we are not able to keep this cache maintained. Will have to Archive for the community’s sake.

Is there even the slightest possibility that this will be replaced?

Unfortunately. I will have to disable this one. It’s obviously been muggled. We haven’t been really active with geocaching at the moment. Sorry everyone.

Spent about 30 minutes here.
Lots of new plants in the garden.
It’s got me wondering if the cache is still here.
Reading logs it sounds like the coords are out so it wasn’t to reassuring I was even looking around the right area.

We had a good look around for this one and couldn't find it. Our only consolation was that we found some Feijoas, yum. Can the owner please check and confirm that the cache is still there, thanks.

Came here last Saturday. Had the park to myself. Went to the obvious place but nothing. The GPS on my phone had me all over the place but nothing. Pulled out the Garmin and it directed me into the area I was first looking. Read previous logs - nothing. Oh well , will keep an eye on this one for another time.

Found in the company of G of GJMMelb and quiet1_au. This time it was me who found the cache, after a bit of a search. TFTC

This one took us some time to locate as like others before us it seems we were tricked by the likely looking spot and distracted by the other object. After going round and round we expanded our search area a bit a lochb finally spotted it.

Arrived here towards the end of an afternoon out caching. There was an obvious object close to Gz that we initially concentrated our search around. We looked in and around and turned over various items without finding anything useful. Finally we wandered further away and then found the cache. Thanks besottedmummy

Tricky spot. Took a bit of searching. I like this type of camouflage.

2nd attempt here even with a PAF to the CO.
Never mind...!
Good hiding spot.
I’ll be back one day.

A spur of the moment decision led to a small cache run with biggles1024 to go in search of a particular cache but also there were others on the way to be found.
I had going passed this one yesterday but there were a lot of muggles about and some right near where I figured GZ would be so I continued on to some other caches.
With the weather being very wet we decided to go passed this one again figuring that as it was raining i might be a good time to look for this one and we figured correctly, we arrived to a deserted park so over we went for a look.
This one has us looking in a few places before I checked out a particular object and then found the cache stuck to it, the log was signed and we were on our way.

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

A call from Steve just before lunchtime resulted in an impromptu caching run with SteMicMitSar to seek a particular cache and a few others along the way. This was the first of the extra caches because recent rain kept muggles well clear of GZ. We searched a number of places until Steve discovered the well camouflaged cache.

**Thank-you to besottedmummy for placing this geocache**

After attending the Come and Visit Parkville event and then collecting an Earth cache for the souvenir we teamed up with micaparamedic and Alansee to collect a few local caches.
First off what a great first cache! We can not wait to see what you come up with next.
We would love to say this was a nice quick find but that was not the case. We searched around the obvious and expanded our search but still came up empty handed.
We retraced our steps but this time Alansee spotted something and happily it was the cache which now contains our names.
Many thanks besottedmummy for a good hide, a favorite from us.

G We got to GZ to find a birthday party about to happen but not many people yet. We searched the obvious - nothing there, so we searched other places and soon found the cache.

Got it this time thanks great clue and need to use a fav

What an adventure.

International Geocaching day brought me and geokid out here despite the foul weather.

We made a bee line for gz and forgetting the d3 rating, I was foolish enough to think I knew where it was. Then I forgot the attributes and made a foolish attempt to climb the tree for a minute.

By then it started drizzling and little miss "I'm not cold " wanted to return to the relative warmth of the car.

She listened to music while I read through old posts and soon the rain was gone. After promising not to drive away, I left geokid in the car and made another attempt but within a minute I thought I heard her calling.
Sigh. False alarm.
Back again and I immediately picked up something unlikely...only to be delighted.
What a simple but delightfully devilish cache!

I waved it in the air for my lo to see only to realise there was a dog Walker nearby...oops. discretion is not my middle name. I explained vaguely what I was up to but he couldn't care less. Then lo joined me, pet his dog and is now playing Ninja Warrior.
So we're both happy.

Thanks very much for the cache.

No luck and I’m a play area and close to a pre school and neighbours watching on give this a miss

So, crazy story. But let me explain...

Bought another cache container for about 15 bucks to replace this one when I found out it was missing. I was so devastated to find out it had been muggled. So today I checked out the place and enable the cache again. So I got to the GZ out found the original. In is original position! Totally did not see it coming. So happy and confused that this one has been put back. Maybe someone took it and realised it was not to keep? I’m not sure.

Whatever. At least it has been returned and can now be found again!!!

Hi everyone!

Sorry this cache has been disabled for a while. We plan to replace it but we are overseas at the moment and plan to replace it end of July - Early August.

Thank you for your patience...

Had a look to see if cache was still there but it wasn’t. The only find was bigh2018, and There have been no finds since. I am disappointed that our first cache placement has been muggles so quickly. I have a feeling that bigh2018 hasn’t found it though. If he has, he has taken it with him.

I am very upset that this has happened and will make a new one ASAP. Sorry to everyone who tried to find this cache and hasn’t been able to do so. Will take put this cache on when it has been replaced.

I stopped in on this sunny evening and was pleased to arrive to a deserted park. With a little looking something caught my eye and it turned out to be the hide. I like the camo, it is a nicely put together cache. As I wandered back to small laneway entrance I had entered by, it was the right time of the day for there to be plenty of birdlife to see.

Thanks to besottedmummy.

Checked after last entry was DNF. Cache safe and happily waiting....

No luck. Mulch looks kind of fresh so perhaps its now covered. Thanks to besottedmummy for placing this cache.

That was spectacular and especialy the advice about the hint rock'n'roll.. thanks

#1385 Saw this cache had appeared on the scene and had it on my list to do when I needed a handy P366 log. There had been another cache in this park a year or so ago but it vanished before I got to it. Didn't want that to happen again, so with Geo-wife and new addition to the family, Geo-Pup, we headed off to GZ. We have been to this park many a time over the years as both our children attended the kinder next door. Arrived at GZ and looked at a couple of suspect places to no avail, then remembered a hint which took me about 20m away but also proved fruitless. Were just about to leave as the weather was starting to look a bit sus when I spotted something. Closer investigation revealed the cache. TNLNSL TFTC besottedmummy

Just did a quick check to see if cache was in place. Also added an Official Geocache sign as well as adding a slot so it is easily put back into its original position.

This is a pleasant little reserve and I remember visiting here years ago when some friends used to live nearby. I'm pretty sure I also found a cache that was here for a short period of time. Now it's just a short diversion off my daily commute and I was able to divert pas ton the way home. A few people around on a warm afternoon but I was able to make a quick find and return without being noticed. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables. Thanks for the cache besottedmummy. Great to have a new cache placed in the area.

Found on 20 Jan 2018 at 6:01 pm.
I had been really lazy all morning so this afternoon I headed out for a drive around to find a few caches in my 15km zone.

I pulled up and parked here and thankfully the park was deserted so after a quick search after checking the hint the cache was signed and I was on my way. Nicely done.
Thanks besottedmummy for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

Not quite sure how long this will last given proximity to muggle play area and exposed nature of GZ so I thought I'd get it while the getting is good. Camo is fine and log is also fine.
Thanks for putting out a semi local cache. Hope to see more soon.

On my way to southland for a bit retail therapy and decided to see if there were any caches in the area. A relatively new cache I couldn’t leave without finding it. It would seem that in an obvious hiding place it was not to be. A bit of rock and roll and voila. I was very impressed with the construction of this one. A favourite point from me.

Today we found A Peaceful Piece of Pennydale on our travels. The Chief saw this pop up last night, spoke loudly about a new cache, in a known park, really close but no offer of company was forthcoming so he stayed where he was. Needing a January cache to keep our Jasmer up to date we swung by today to have a look. The Chief had the cache was in hand quickly as he didn’t allow the decoy distract him.
Now off to a bit of maintenance on one of ours.
Thanks besottedmummy for being part of our geocaching fun.

FTF with GMJ3191 and Mark9375. At 10.26pm knowing exactly where this park is we made a bee line to it and arrived within 15 minutes of it being published and stated looking in all the obvious places. There was another cache here not long ago only a few meters from where this one is and my son mark got FTF on that one too. We searched many spots and found a likely container with lots of swag in it and after going through it with a fine tooth comb it was decided that it was just a kids lost toy bag so we put it back just as another familiar car turned up, we hid behind a bush and waited. Sure enough it was Gmj3191 who joined in the hunt. He found the same decoy lol. Not long after Gmj3191 made the find in a place we all looked at many times so he gets the special mention. Thanks for the cache and for the opportunity to get us out of the house on a hot summers night

*Find #1143*

Sitting at home not doing a whole a little notification came through on my phone, a cache 3.XX Kilometers away, checked the map and instantly knew where it was, one of my first to find was in this spot.

Anyway, told dad that a new cache had been published at the park in Olympic Ave.

We hopped into the car and headed down, getting every slow driver and pretty much every red light.

Looked around in all the obvious spots and found something, not the cache but a purple bag filled with kids toys and a invitation to a lollipops birthday party.

We looked around again and again yet nothing showed. Eventually I spotted a car driving up slowly, I noticed it was a Golden Prado, now who owns one of them? Ah of course gmj3191!

We turned the torches off and hid to sppok him as he got closer but that didn't seem to work very well, he ended up being useful after all , after roughly 20 minutes of searching the discovery was made by gmj3191.

Cool and neat little cache, definately will last longer than the other one. Thanks for adding another one to the area.

Thanks to besottedmummy for placing this cache for us to enjoy.

I was sitting quietly, watching the Big Bash with the Stars slowly going down the gurgler, when I checked my phone and this had popped up about 25 mins earlier. I decided the Stars were not going to win and so I might as well resurrect the evening with the new cache.
I'm also interested in restoring the name of Pennydale and placed a multi in this area inviting people to tour the area. That was back in 2009. I was going to make the shop which used to be the Pennydale Post Office one of the clues, but I could not determine which one of the shops in the strip along Bay Road, it originally was. I'd be interested to know.
I knew this park quite well as there have been two previous caches here, but none of them have lasted.
When I arrived, there were some people rustling around in the bushes and it turned out to be the Dawsons, but Mark and Andrew hadn't had any luck.
We searched together for about 25 minutes, trying not to trash the vegetation, but there was nothing to be found it seemed.
We found a child's bag full of toys and junk, and thought that might be the cache, but no.
I'd decided to give it away, but just one last look in the shrubs struck pay dirt. This has happened many times.
Nicely built cache.
Future finders do not need to go into the bushes, you can stay on the outside and not trash the garden.
