I managed to almost entirely erase my own signature as soon as I put it! It is a very plasticy paper!
This was our 2nd time coming here, but after 10 minutes we found it, quite hard to find but cool cache, Thank you
What an interesting spot! On the walk here, I had a good look over the fence at the old children's hospital. Hopefully, the developers can build something that looks nice and makes something of the area. I had a few laps around the main feature at GZ before finding the cache. Thanks!
CaptainCoop09 and I headed out today to find some local caches and this is one of the caches we found. TFTC.
Just about to give up and noticed the unusual. Very good cache and lovely in the sun
I am so glad I looked at the gallery, and that I had tweezers in my kit! TFTC on the solstice.GrahamT
Lovely cache that sort of blends into the environment. And my dog, Muscat really enjoyed the beach walk
TFTC! Was looking for a traditional cache but once we realised it was a micro, it was an easy find!
We needed some exercise today so a rare trip with my wife who also wanted to come so a quick trip down this way was on the cards for a few hours and it was such a nice afternoon, not too hot and not too cold.No one here and a quick look on satellite view showed where it was and a nice quick find was made.Thanks Beckgiz for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.
EveTheStaffy was disappointed that she wasn't allowed onto the beach at this time of the year, but a nicely hidden geocache made for an excellent consolation prize.
Out for a maintenance run today and after checking everywhere established it was definitely missing! So cache has been replaced and all good to go again! Happy hunting!!
Oh yes. Very satisfying. I had walked away and was starting to write a DNF when the little one called 'Could this be it?'. Y e s it is it . Not what or where i was expecting at all. T4tc
I put the kids to bed, did the chores, then was feeling restless. I thought maybe I could solve it with chocolate, but my darling wife reminded me that my new year's resolution was to be more active, so she insisted I catch some of the evening sunlight and find a cache. This was nearby, so off I went.
My gosh, there is some big houses around here! Massive hedges/fences with big wrought iron gates, makes it not a very welcoming area. But excellent to drive through very slowly, gawking at all mansions. How many people must live in these huge houses?!? 30? 40?
Anyway, when I'd had enough of gawking, I pulled up nearby, read the description, and made my way to where I suspected it was. Sure enough, a 5 second hunt had it in hand. I signed it in the dying light, then meandered back to my car. That feeling of restlessness was not quite squashed, so I picked another nearby one to go grab. Thanks CO for getting me out of the house, away from the temptation of chocolate!

Came all the way from Germany to visit Mount Eliza. First one we found here. Thanks!
This was a challenging the logbook was thrown over fence. My partner found it by accident. It will need attention.
The log book was separated from the cache ,we put it back in & placed it back near where we thought it may have been
Found it but looks like it will need some attention as it is not in its original container. TFTC!
We were about to head back here for a caching fix when we realised we had already done it.
After looking around the base of the trees for a while we decided to head to a more secluded area where it was much more likely to be.
Thanks Beckgiz & Gnome5580 for another dog tail.
Chiefton!!!

The hint was very useful as well as the comment ‘there might be sounder webs’ !! TFTC

Another day out caching with Omegaman1971, today we headed down the Mornington Peninsula to tackle the dogs tail series and any others we happened to be driving past.
This is one of the caches found today.
Thanks Beckgiz for the cache.

Out and about with Rebel Acts enjoying the Sun and putting some smiles on the map.
Haven't cached down here for awhile and it was great to see so many new caches.
This is one of the caches we did today , cheers for the cache.

This and another cache nearby had been on my have to do list to keep Mt Eliza clear of caches but just far enough to be a little inconvenient so I will just leave it for now. Well with lunch with my work mates on the agenda at Squire's in Frankston I decided to leave a bit earlier and clear these two off.
Another one of this series to check off the list, with a quick look and walk around the cheeky little cache was spotted and another done for the day. Thanks for the cache and the little adventure.

An adventure down on the Mornington Peninsula was on the cards for today as we sorted out a few errands and went in search of quite a number of new caches that have appeared around the area recently, which is excellent to see!
I always wondered what practical use these brightly coloured bisons had, but I can't complain about their employment at this hide!
Into the darkness I ventured; I was expecting a few spiderwebs around here that didn't appear, and I waltzed on up to spot the cache without much trouble at all.
The logsheet was signed and all put back as it was found.
Thanks to Beckgiz, Gnome5580, Ebony and Calypso for this placement!

Out on my own today coming back I’m staying in Mornington for the night. Just checking out another one of these beautiful walking areas great way to discover the lovely Mornington area. Nice easy find Thanks for the cache Beckgiz
A quick find on Sunday morning walk. A bit cold and windy but that just makes the beach more dramatic. TFTC!
Thanks for taking me to this beautiful tranquil area. Never explored this beach but it will definitely be on the list to express in daylight hours. Found the cache and felt very sneaky as I signed the log and could hear people playing tennis right nearby!

Since the coordinates for this are showing up on the nearby private property I've changed these coordinates to make them more accurate. Happy hunting!

What a great little cache!
Did it on a whim whilst out driving on good Friday, so we forgot a pen!
Great little spot, not a tricky one to find once you start thinking about places, but a good spot.

I had attempted this one previously but it had been muggled so today was the day to make the find … hopefully this hide will keep the muggles at bay. I had a bit of a search without luck … the hint helped me zero in to the find. Thanks again Beckgiz & Gnome5580 for placing and maintaining the cache.
With Starruby after a pleasant walk here from no 26- didn’t bring my dog today. Sea smooth today and a function going at the Canadian Bay premises.
The new location is good and a good hide.
Thanks B and G for the hide

Quick and easy find..Lucky we weren't using a magnetic compass, as the magnetic field here is pretty big!

Wow some really nice places around this area. Nice and quiet today as well. This one had us going all over the place. After a good 15 mins and by using some geo sense the week hidden cache was spotted. Log signed and all back safe again.
Thankyou.

Not having confidence with where the gizmo was showing me to search, I was searching for this one in not quite the right area. Expanding the search I realised the gizmo was pointing me in the right direction and this one was then found.
After doing a bit of wandering to and fro decided to check previous logs. Big help. Overcast day added to the challenge. Found it. Cache happy. Tfc.
Well, very tricky to find this one without using the updated co ords. And on an overcast day, look particularly hard... TFTC

This one has definitely been muggled already!! I have moved it and made it a bit smaller to make it a bit more inconspicuous, let's hope this works! Happy hunting!!

This one is being logged as a find with the kind permission of the CO. Hoping to get back one day.
Wish I knew where the next cacher had found this as three of us had to DNF this as did another more recent finder.
Think we found the obvious location matching the hint. Alas, nothing there. May have been muggled.
