Unfortunately there does not seem to be any evidence that indicates that steps have been taken to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement. It would appear the owner of this cache listing is no longer interested in the cache and the cache has been abandoned.

As such the cache is being de-listed (Archived). If there are components or remnants of the cache, please recover them as we don't want to litter our environment with Georubbish.

A cache already loaded into the GPSr inventory and I had no idea it had been disabled. As per previous finds, located the container lid, pencil and a sodden log, signed the latter. Desperately in need of some TLC but there for the finding.. thanks..!!

Was wandering the park and pathways through and stumbled across a sistema lid and a quick check showed this one. A further search and I found some logs very close to gz. This meant I was able to sign the log and also log as found. Very nice spot and hopefully it is able to get back online soon

Thanks besottedmummy for the cache.
Found at 11:15 am on 6/4/19.

Melbourne Day 4: Sandringham and Brighton

Nice sunny day today, so I took the train down to Cheltenham and cycled my way to the beach, picking up whatever caches that I encounter along the way. Very nice and big caches along the way here, which made the hunt very pleasant and enjoyable throughout. I am looking out particularly for the Archibald caches which I have solved beforehand and a few nice multis along the beach. Very scenic views and good fun all round! Thanks for all the caches!

The following is the specific log for each cache:
Nice easy find in a quiet park today. Wandered over to the GZ and found the sign of a hidden object. Picked it up and logged in. TFTC!

After visiting Southland, first time in a long time, I thought that I would have a look at a couple of local cache that had been out for a while but hadn't got around to looking for.
After finding the cache nearby I went for a walk to this one, once in the GZ area I looked round the are for a possible hide, I spotted something and headed over to investigate, the cache was then found.

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

Find #3806. Found @ 16:37 with skirrel.

A nice quick find after paring nearby. I think I've found a cache in this area before, but much of my finding has been at night, and thing look a bit different then. We made the find and replace just before some muggle walkers came past.

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

Another one in Merindah Park and still in the presence of the doggie walkers. We had to pretend to be interesting in the trees taking a few mock photos of the lovely park. We attached one for prosperity. Thanks,

Today was a long day of caching in and around Black Rock and Beaumaris. We still needed about 70 caches to complete our hidden creatures series before time runs out. Fantastic area that we have never really explored before.

#1413 A couple of weeks behind in my logging but here goes. It was a P366 day that needed filling so headed off to this one with geo-pup. Got to GZ and located cache pretty quickly TNLNSL TFTC besottedmummy. Log page was probably about 80% full when I visited.

Running some errands around the area this morning, it was time for Ana the geodog and I to grab a few caches. With the GPSr directing us off the trail, Ana had her caching nose close to the ground in search of the cache. But as experienced as she is, she struggled to find this one as it was so well hidden. So I pulled out the GPSr and checked if we were close to the cache. The compass was pointing at Ana, so I went over to her and unbeknown to me, she had found the cache. TNLNSL. TFTC. KkAms

Find #4306

I have found most Bayside caches previously so when a new one comes up it's always a treat. I too recall that there was a previous cache very close to here and I reckon I found it not too long before it was archived. Made a short diversion on my drive home from work and parked in a spot I knew from my last visit. It was just after dark so I was trying to be stealthy among the dog walkers and kept my torch off as long as possible. At GZ it was a quick find (and very nicely described by gmj3191) and I was able to sign quickly before heading off. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables. Thanks for the cache besottedmummy.

**Find #: 5888**
**Time: 1:56 pm**
**Date: Mon 30 Apr 2018**
A nice find on a beautiful Monday afternoon.
The coordinates were spot on and the hide obvious to a cacher, but not so to passers by. This is a pretty intensely visited area by dog walkers and school kids.
There was a previous cache within ten metres which was placed around 5 years ago and was last found two years to the day, yesterday.
The area has been opened up a bit since then however.
**Thanks for placing this cache besottedmummy**

Out and about today with the delightful echidna44 with the main aim being to find some presolved puzzles and any others we may come across. After ticking off today’s list it was time to find some others as we headed home and this was one of them. TFTC besottedmummy

This is a lovely little park and on a walk this afternoon we were passing right by this new cache. A quick look and we were soon leaving our name on the log. We then continued on our walk on this pleasant sunny day.
Thanks to besottedmummy for the cache.

I needed a cache to continue my streak and since I was in the area checked to see whether anything new had recently been published. Lo and behold! Off I went and made a quick find. Thanks besottedmummy.

Second of three we found in the area today - school holidays are a great time to go on the hunt. Had two newbie geocachers with us who were stoked to find this, their first discovery. Thanks to Besottedmummy for making their day. Took some treasure, left some treasure.

07-Apr-18
Found on 7 Apr 2018 at 4:59 pm.
I was driving along the coast and looking unsuccessfully for a puzzle I had solved due to way too many muggles so instead I headed here and parked near the roundabout and walked in.
A quick search had the cache in hand right near where I am sure I have found a cache before a few years ago but I can't find it on the archivedcaches.com website. Hmmmm, maybe it was a puzzle final or multi waypoint.
Oh well, place was deserted so no problems here.
Thanks besottedmummy for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

*FTF* Although it was a short week, due to the public holiday on Monday, it still feels like an age since I was out and about on the bike.

When I woke up this morning I saw the blue sky and knew I had to get out so I loaded up the bike onto the rack and headed out to the Sandringham area. It seems that I am restricted as to where I go due to all the concurrent roadworks at present.

It wasn't until I got to the GZ that I realised that there was a FTF up for grabs. Up until now I had been just looking for the nearest cache. Once I knew I started the search with a greater sense urgency. A quick find in the end. I picked up the TB. TFTC.
