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.

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.
TNLN.

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

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 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!

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 Sad

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 Red Face).

TNLNSL, although our round tuit geocoin had a visit to mark the occasion. Thanks Partic.
