Sleep Like A Log Ringwood North, Victoria, Australia

Out and about caching with skylizard today, tackling these new caches in this area not too far from home. This one which has been around somewhat longer than the others was in a familiar area to me. My dogs and I have enjoyed the nearby dog park many times. A quick find after walking around rather than in the dog park today. TFTC frenchy_finds

TFTC! We popped by to get this one on the way home!

Enjoying the glorious spring weather, I went bike caching along the Mullum Mullum trail. A short diversion through parks and back streets brought me to this previously unvisited reserve. I don't know whether the nature of this hide gas changed over time, but it was a quick easy find today. All in good condition. TFTC

I actually thought that I had found this one already with Papi4506 some years ago so was surprised that there was no smiley here. Making sure to log this visit. Thanks for the placement of this cache.

Thanks this was actually hard to find

Properly wet morning made this a really uncomfortable search, so didn't try too hard. Definitely a cache for nicer weather, I'll be back

TFTC. nice easy find.

Tyftc. Found it

Nice and easy, tftc!

Thank you

Thanks good spot

2nd attempt at this one. Last time it must of been lost cause I checked the same log the other time. Good to have a smile on this one.

Found it

Thx nice find

Thanks. Was near by doing another event and thought I would make the most of it.

We didn't realise that this park was so big! It was great to wander around and look at all the sections and we had it mostly to ourselves thanks to the drizzly rain this afternoon. The path up and over the hill was cool too as it gave us a view over the whole park. Thanks for placing the cache here for us to discover

Not much of a streaker, particularly when the world is about to end (seems to be a daily occurrence at present). Happily this was a quick drive and walk and search. TFTC, havent visited Quamby Reserve in quite a while - we will need to return to test the flying fox.

Thanks this was a good one

Easy find

Today, Tiz13 and I embarked on our weekly caching expedition, ready to transform caches into smiles. With the radiant sun illuminating our path, it was impossible to resist the invitation to go caching. This is one of the caches found today. Thanks frenchy_finds for the cache.

The suns back out in Melbourne, so Rebel Acts and I have escaped to make the most of the day and the weather and to indulge in some caching shenanigans. This was one of the caches we found today.

Found on a drizzly Sunday in the second place I looked. Great little spot, enjoyed meandering around here today despite the weather.

Got this one on a wet and rainy day everything in good condition tftc

Easy find on a lovely day with my mini cacher. Signed the log. Thanks. Clydekitty.

Decide to wander over to Warranwood... Croydon area this afternoon to hunt out enough caches to finish off this months *hard* souvenir... and that turned out to be harder than I expected.This was my first cache... a nice easy find... but things went downhill a bit after this one.Thanks **frenchy_finds** for putting this cache out here.

A quick find on this glorious spring afternoon. I enjoyed coming to a place I never knew existed. Thank you frenchy_finds for placing and maintaining Sleep like a log for us to find today.

Another quick fi d on a glorious spring afternoon. TFTC

Yay another one down

Easy find

Dog lovers, the nearby Parkwood Park is just for you and we’ll worth a visit when on route to GZ!!

I was at a Forum nearby and set off to do this cache. Easy find. Thanks for the cache

dnf. think the coordinates need to be adjusted.

I decided to take a shortcut from the grass area uphill near the dog park instead of walking on the concrete path. However, it was incredibly slippery, and I nearly fell over a few times. TFTC.

It was fun cache

We slipped on mud and got stung by a thistle. Beware

Last cache for the day. There was a cricket match going on when I was here. Fortunately this cache did not take me very long to sniff out.

Found it

Amazing it’s there! YAPIDKA! In the area on a mighty LGA mission whilst in marvellous Melbs- surprised the boundary seems relatively small! TFTC and the FUN!

Thanks for the cache. Came the long way in to log the log. Giddy up

Good find while walking

It’s amazing what you can find when you’re looking for a cache!
With a cooler night this evening, we decided to branch further afield for our after dinner dog walk with our geodog Buddy (HQJYHJ) and seeing there was a couple of caches here, which is not too far from home we chose it as our spot.
We parked near The Pony Cache. We were in awe of the horse set up, especially with the Thomas train! We then played frisbee on the oval before following the track to this cache, which was a straightforward find.
After returning the cache we just walked a little further to see what was on the other side of the fence, to find a new looking dog park full of dogs. We spent quite a while there while Buddy played with all the other dogs before finally returning to the pony cache.

Cache maintenance status: the log is fine, but the snap lock has seen better days. The container is okay but starting to show a little wear.

Thanks for the cache and for an unexpected great night out!

Coords really didn't like us on this one. Had us way off. Giving up on the phones we used our geoskills to find this one and got there quite quickly Afterall. Tftc!

Surprisingly there were quite a few muggles and workmen down this end of the park, I had thought I would have had they whole place to myself. Nevertheless I was able to make a quick find and sign the log whilst out of sight. Thanks Frenchy-finds for placing the cache.

Nice easy find on an enjoyable walk with my faithful geoGroodle. TFTC

luca

Super easy and super fast to find !

TFTC !

Great spot which I never knew was here. Nice easy find on a very nice sunny morning. TFTC

Easy find. TFTC!

Nice easy find

After a dnf at the other cache nearby I'm glad I found this one quite quickly. Tftc!

Team Autumn out this way to drop a geokid to camp. Had to hurry as a thunder storm was approaching (but yes of course we still went and looked). Quick find. TFTC

Taking a scout to a scout camp and doing some caching

Tftc

Rain then no rain then thunder and lightning, then none.

Quick find

Tftc

Thanks for the find

Out with geo-nan today, stopped to have a coffee at a local pub then got to cashing, there was some sort of Horse training going on today which we also watched for a while, great hide tftc!

Easy cache, came here for my mums footy game

Found it easily. Signed the log as I brought my own pen, as the cache's pencil was blunt. Left 5 polished gemstones. TFTC

Found it, pencil blunt so couldn’t sign

#1286 - A few muggles walking past this morning however managed to not draw any attention and find the cache without too much trouble. First time to this reserve, thanks for bringing me here.

###**CACHE OWNER PLEASE NOTE**###

----------

This cache would seem to have had some welcomed action on behalf of the CO by a Good Samaritan - 'geo_jas', so it fortunately lives for another day.

Please remember that cache maintenance arrangements need to be proactive, not reactive. This means regular visits (by the CO) to check on the cache and not relying on or expect passing seekers to fix issues or replace missing caches.

Even though a Good Samaritan has addressed the issue, there is still a need to remove the "Needs Maintenance" attribute - see here: [**Removing the Needs Maintenance Icon.**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) and then Enable the cache - see this link: [**Temporarily Disable and Enable**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235) .

**I have removed the NM attribute and Enabled the cache for you on this occasion.**

Found at 11:56
Out for a few caches today and this was the first. I had a spare container in me so I replaced the squashed one
Thanks frenchy_finds for the cache

### **OWNER MAINTENANCE REQUIRED PLEASE** ###

----------

Hi there frenchy_finds,

One or more logs indicate that this cache appears to be in need of owner intervention, so it is being temporarily disabled. This is to remove it from search listings and discourage people from visiting this location until the issues/s with this cache are investigated/addressed.

Whilst it is recognized that as a result of the current Covid-19 situation, it might not be possible for a Cache Owner to just pop out and check on a cache straight away, we still need to know that you are on top of the issue. Caches where the cache owner does not currently feel it is safe to maintain will not be archived in the normal time frame, as long as there is some indication from the CO.

**You do need to respond within 14 days, so others know you are on top of it, as well as indicating exactly what is happening with this cache. Please don't let a lack of communication kill this placement.**

#What you should do now:-#
- Should you feel it safe for you to maintain and address this cache now, AND your regional Health and Governmental authorities allow it, please feel free to do so.

- **Alternatively,** what you need to do is place a 'Write Note' log indicating an expected date when you you hope you might be able to attend to the issue/s.
**The Write Note log should be placed within 14 days.**

#Please Note#
When a Reviewer next looks in on this cache, if there is no acknowledgment from the CO as requested above, the Reviewer will assume the cache has been abandoned and process accordingly.

Grateful for this easy find after an earlier DNF. Didn't want to ruin our streak!

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

We had a lovely Mary Eats Cake picnic lunch by the lake to celebrate our anniversary then went on to find some caches. This was first. The cache container and bag were separate (see photo sent to you separately) and the bag had no log paper. We added a bit of paper with our caching name on it into the log bag and put it back in the tin which is very squashed. Cache needs some maintenance
TFTC frenchy finds - GJMMelb

Found it. No paper to sign though.

Found it! Needs some maintenance, But lots of fun finding it!!!!

The change has nothing in it and has been bent in half

Great find, needs some maintenance. Found with tilly246 ️

Found it

Only a pencil in the cache.
Cache was not waterproof.

Good find, thanks . Unfortunately the container is pretty squashed. Lid won’t close.

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

Very cool this morning as I went over the oval leaving footprints in the frost. Found squashed cache.

Thanks to frenchy_finds for the placement and fun.

Ducked out for a bit of exercise this morning and what do you know, there's a cache here
A nice quick find as I wandered past, all very quiet today under the threat of rain.
**Thanks for placing this cache frenchy_finds**

We’re all going to Wangaratta to participate in Victoria’s next Mega!
*Are you coming to join in the fun?*
[**The Wangaratta Event 2021**](https://coord.info/GC8EW45)
*13th & 14th November 2021 - GC8EW45 - Wangaratta - Victoria*

Found it great spot, took a little while to find it, but found it eventually!

We found this cache today on our Yarra River Ramble. No trouble spotting this but when it cam to putting it away, a young girl from another walking group decided that she was not going to walk any further and stopped right next to us, which delayed the replacement for a while. Our 6th cache find in this park. Thanks from D & HA B-A
