After much discussion we all reckon some one has taken cache - found perfect spot - camouflage and everything but missing
I have found this before just in the area thought I would check up on it as I left a TB back in feb and the TB is still showing that it in the cache it looks like the cache has gone missing can the CO please go and check
In a competition of the Samsungs - Mr KSBTJ came out trumps on the find, as Mrs KSBTJ's phone had her up the garden path!. TFTC.
The park here was surprisingly empty on a warm Saturday afternoon, however previous visitors had left a large amount of take-away food litter inside the nearby rotunda. After a short walk from the car the cache was found, signed and returned. I've looked at the meteorite display before so did not say for that today. TFTC.
Passing through Cranbourne at lunch time, I thought I would find The Cranbourne Meteorites. A quick easy find as the park was deserted. There was no sign of Bamboo, the Aussie Panda
Out to Cranbourne orienteering the afternoon, time for a caache on the way home.
Quick find, reasonably muggle free.

I looked for one here years ago and could not find it. ...a shame that the meteorite display has been removed.
Suscoe stopped off for a coffee at one of our usual establishments.
Couldn't pass up another possible find so crossed the road and had a quick find.
As previous finders have mentioned, this area is filthy with rubbish. Really sad to see in what could be a lovely park.
Thanks to Partic for sharing this important Space Geo spot with us.

We were invited to a BBQ in Cranbourne on new years day. After the BBQ the girls got together for a yak so GMelb decided to do a few local caches while they were busy. Having parked in the car park I walked up the path and it was obvious that this had been a party venue for the night before. There were bottles and mess around GZ. I checked a few places and found more broken bottles and rubbish. I checked in another obvious location and there was the cache was safe and sound. Thanks Partic

Hmmm.. found this one & thought the log went through.. apparantly not! Found with wa friend down for a visit. It was his first time caching & he was the one to make the find. Pity the meteorites have gone, any idea where they are now? Tftc.

Very disappointed not to find any meteorites here, however was rewarded with a smiley TFTC
Found today while out and about with the Geodog. I have driven past here a million times and never really took any notice of this park. Found in the second place I looked. Signed log. Took smiley badge, left a mini rubix cube. Thanks for the cache Partic.
Couldn't see it at first we were a bit hesitant as there was a lot of broken glass.. but soon found it! Didn't see a trackable in it though.. good hide TFTC

On my way back to Melbourne I stopped here for dinner.
Nice fish and chips they were.
While waiting I walked over to claim a smiley.
No torch did not help.
But spotted in the end.

Out for shopping in Cranbourne. We stopped off on the way home to grab this one. Disappointed not to see a three tonne meteorite! What has happened to the display? TNLN SL TFTC
Out caching with Pea bear in the area today. Nice easy find & have added a new log book as the other was very full. TFTC
Found with BorisB&Natasha. Luckily no muggles seems to around when we arrived, but there does seem to some kind of wasp/bee nest forming nearby on the gazebo. TFTC
Found on route to Phillip Island for the 2012 Australian MotoGP... (Go Casey!) collected trackable and will relocate to somewhere in NSW.
The Demolition Crew met up once again with Rebel Acts for another night’s caching in the Frankston and Seaford area. We had planned to crash the Cranbourne Botanical Gardens and try to grab all the caches in there in under an hour by bike, but upon arrival we realised that it was not going to happen at night so we changed tack and cached in the general area. It was a successful night for me with 29 cache finds. This was one of them. A quick search and this one was found. Thanks.
Found on a rainy day while taking refuge in the Gazebo with Miss Liana. Very nice location, the cache blends in with the post
Log book is full, had to squeeze my sig in.
Thanks for the cache!

First cache for the day on our Gippsland Roadtrip. I love a cache with a facinating bit of history or a good story, thanks for this great cache.
Found our very first geo cache box!
Six year old do excited. Treasure taken and others left.

Found it. Awesome cache, had heaps of goodies. Was awesome to see some Korean money (won) in there from previous cachers. Took keyring. thanks!
Found after a visit across the road for a poker game.
Met up with a mate from back home at the game, and now for a few caches.
Night time is much better around these parts with no muggles around.
Nice quick find in the early fog. TNLNSL TFTC Partic,

Straightforward find on an ANZAC Day outing after being bitten by the GC bug. Left a 500 Won coin from a recent visit to Seoul. TFTC
Big favour but could someone trying to find this one please let me know if the trackable called Peanut's Travels (7HAC20) is still in this cache? Thanks!
A lovely park and a great setting for the cache. We failed to find our signs about the meteorites but there was a large bass drum abandoned in the edge of the car park.
Thanks Jacqueline and Peter #7044

Found 31Mar 2012 - 11pm with two young geoniors.
Find #314
On our way home from a surprise party in Tooradin and the boys were all hyped up and awake from too much cake and sugar!
Shall we find a treasure on the way home boys?
YEAH!
Quickly got out the app and saw this one as a chance for a quick drive by. Stopped in a nearby carpark and scared a couple of cars away [:0] and so then had the place to ourselves. Seems we were parked about as close as we could and so made a nice quick easy find.
Dropped a couple of extra trackables off to continue of their journeys, although we failed to see the listed trackable.
Thanks for the cache and the night time fun for the boys!

I finally got this on off my list as I seem to always come to cranbourne from the other direction, I was doing a job just around the corner so it was a quick find between work. Sl tftc
Straightforward find after boys had their fishing tackle fix over the road at tackle world. Took glow worm left keyring. TFTC
Stopped for a sugar hit at the nearby M and made this one a quick grab this one from under the noses of a muggle-couple seated in the rotunda (more interested in each other, methinks!).
No geocoin noticed.

Well, the lack of meteorites complements the park, it certainly is missing something. But not litter.

The cache was open and contents spread on the ground around GZ. Obviously had been muggled. The log was intact and and contents all dry so I put everything back together and placed in location indicated by clue. I also carried away a discarded syringe
Very disappointed that the meteorites are gone! I hope the council gets them back in there soon.
None the less this was an awesome cache to find, well hidden but not too hard and quite large too
Thanks.

This one has been on the radar for such a long time now and as I was in the area today, I thought I'd have a try for it. It took me a few minutes to hone in on it but I was finally signing the log at 13:35 (after having a look at the hint ).
TNLNSL, although our round tuit geocoin had a visit to mark the occasion. Thanks Partic.

TFTC my wife is from here and we've just finished visiting from the states seeing the rele's w/ our 5 mth old daughter, and i'm stoked to have found a couple of caches whilst here. Wish I would've known about GC in 2008 when we did a 3 mth road trip around OZ. Look fwd to comin' back and doin' more. TNLN, SL. mammal33 from Lawrenceville, GA, USA
