BT XV YMML Melbourne Airport, Victoria, Australia

I must say sorry for not acting on this one sooner, it went missing at the time I went in to Hospital and has slipped my attention up untill now. the cache will not be up for adoption but feel free to place your own cache in the area. This is the fourth time the cache has been Muggled now, I checked the location last night and it looks as though the garden has been half ripped out. Anyone needing the code for the series it is N=3

Hi Daks/Rebel Alliance, If its Ok with u, I would like to now apopt this cache. I work at the Airport and would really like to see a cache put back in this area. Let me know if u want me to fix it as it seems its has been muggled. Regards,Jack0.

As per the previous logs had a good look with a torch at 0530 and was unable to find anything.

TFTH & will keep an eye on this cache.

Yet a disapointing hour search for this one while waiting for out flight out to Perth seached high and low and in every possible spot, but reading the logs looks like others could not find it either, maybe it needs to be checked to see if its still there.

Decided I would hunt this one down at night after dropping some friends off for an international flight.
Easy to get to GZ but no cache in site (although it was dark), will try again on next visit to Airport.

Blacktop Cruiser.

Was picking up my daughter from the airport so thought I would sneak this cache in while waiting for the flight. Searched the area for some time with no joy. Did notice that a structure very near to GZ appears to have been painted lately {signs of fresh paint and mixing sticks on the ground etc}. Could this have affected the security of the cache? I hope not as I'm heading back to the airport later today so may give it a second go. Cheers Ric.

Was passing through on business. I might have had a blokes look. I'm sure I'll be back.

Found a perfect spot where the GPS said GZ was but no cache was visible. Hope it is safe and we just merely overlooked it.

On a quick trip to Melbourne, early finish to work, walked around from the Hilton and found this. In fact my GPS rcvr hadnt even kicked in, by the time i got there.. But easy find.

Found by The Empire 15/2/09 @ 1:40pm
Nice easy find, had to take the log book to the hotel and ask for a pen because I left mine in my car over at Maccas! Nice new seared chicken burger, highly recommended!

DNF with SecretSquirrel and Albida33

As our last for the day, we found ourselves looking for this one in twilight. Despite a though search of the area, we ere unable to locate this one. Albida.

Found during a lazy shift at the Airport. TNLN TFTC.

Had to find it again after it was off line. Had to beat Drake too!! TNLNSL TFTC

easy walk from servo after dropping geo husband off to return to work.

dropped in kennel club coin

Cache is back in place,

Dropping off a TB for an overnight stay. TFTC

dropping off tb for overnight sleep

Checked on the way home from my trip to India and found that it has gone, will replace next trip down that way.

Was looking for sometime and found a container that looks chopped by a mower.

Looked for about 10 minutes with no luck but as I was about to give up I found the remnants of a broken sistema container, found the blue sistema clip then on further inspection I found bits and pieces of the clear container, unless this was an old container that had been replaced before then I think it may be gone and needs replacing

Alas, it was to be my last cache on my one day trip to Melbourne. But look as I may, I could not see it.

No problems though, I will be back in town again.......

Cheers,

Our first find in Victoria on the way to Tasmania. With half of Mike& Alice. Thanks! Took compass rose geocoin.

Found by A with womble72, and M gets to stay home and log the finds. TFTC

when I visited today, the logbook is full and the pen is in a seprate plastic bag outside the container, because it won't fit in the container.

Nice easy find today on the way back from the bike GP. left the compass rose geocoin, was going to take the nordic coin but decided it had a better chance to achieve it's goal if I left it behind. TNSL TFTC

Dropped in a Nordic Race Coin.

For the Record this cache is not advertised or does it state on the cache page that it is a TB motel, there is a link to the TB motel cache That I shall remove as it is no longer active, but this is not a TB hotel.

Time : 8.30m
Onboard : Ian(vk3jap), GeoGinaG, Nola, Ksenija, Madeline, AJ
Finder : GeoGinaG
Notes: Had wondered if I found the right cache.. read the notes tonight and yep I did. For a TB Motel I was expecting to see at least a 1 Ltr hide. Perhaps more of a GeoCoing Motel this one. A Container upgrade wouldn't be such a bad thing. Nice easy find, nice easy spot, good place for a TB motel.. bug sleep outside, people sleep just a few meters away inside!

Grabbed 2 GC racing to Denmark whilst I raced for my flight, Sydney, Bangkok, London. Will find somewhere enroute to move them on.
cheers
(left hotel pen?!)

I went meet my wife, daughter and mother in-law at the airport and took the oportunity to get this cache. Took TB but couldn't help coins on their way to denmark, so left them behind. The TB i had wouldn't fit so kept it with me. TFTC

No room for the TBs I had with me so took Bitten TB for a trip to Brisbane.

Found nice and easy with Smith Tribe. Wanted to do a TB drop off, but container was a bit full! Oh well ... somewhere else maybe!

Found it very easily after a weekend in Tassie. TN, left wristband, SL.

Found @ 4:30pm on the way back from Albury.

As Mr Hawmorford and I flew into town today we dropped off our stuff in our rental car before walking through the carpark, across the road to this location. We easily found the cache as it was in a typical cache-hiding location, and promptly headed off into town for more important and serious matters.

Last time we were in town, we missed out on this one. We called the owner and found the cache to be missing. This time however, we found the cache and said goodbye to the owner.

Cache is good to go and has been adopted by The Rebel Alliance)

Had a quick look for this one on my way to Sydney and picked up a coin to take it to Europe in a few weeks.

A good one while waiting for a plane

With four hours between planes, what more can you do except grab a cache. Took a not so pleasant stroll (I was dragging my baggage), and quickly found it. Also found that it had been logged yesterday by another Tasmanian resident. TNLNSL Thanks dak's Emu Mob for giving me a way to use up my time.

Just dropping off a Geocoin.

Had only few minutes, due to plane departure. Took TB. tftc

Found at 10.15am on a foggy, Melbourne morning. After making a special trip to the airport to collect the "clue" for The Business Traveller's Cache, BP's car park was full and had many cars waiting for a park. We qued for nearly 10mins to fill up with Diesel, when suddenly a car park appeared nearby and our luck was in.
Proceeded to GZ and found the cache in the first place we looked.
Took - geocoin and slug
Left - TB Mr Percival

Dropping in travellers and visitors.

Freo wanted to go to the footy, but as the Flipper's were only going steaming he had to make do with a very fast visit.

Quick Stop by after landing at the airport. Picked up the 2 travellers heading for Denmark, we are going to England soon, so these can come with us. Dropped off Crane2's Emu Coin,and a slug heading for NSW. Thankd for the placement, very handy indead.

Found the second time around - why didn't I look there last time?

This cache has now become the Travel Bug lounge by default! Dropped off 'A cache a day' and 'Foolie' geocoins to begin their race to Denmark. If anyone is going North out of Australia it would be great if you could get these coins heading in the right direction.
Parked at the BP as suggested, this was a great tip. TFTC.

With some time to kill between flights on my way home from SA, ducked out to find this. A simple little find, my first in Victoria! Thanks for the cache Dak and Co.

The better half of gibbo003 team in Melb for work and a cache very close to the hotel. With one team member on the ground and the other on the phone in Darwin we found the cache. Took nothing left nothing and signed log. Thanks dak's Emu Mob for our first cache in your state, hope to find some more soon.

Bit late to log this visit, had a stop over in Melbourne on our way to Tassie. Easy find - Daimler Ute (Qld).

thanks Dak's Emu
A great cache, just like many others checked in first and then
went treasure hunting.
LNSL<

Found at 2300 while waiting to meet a flight that had been delayed, it eventually arrived at 0020.

A bonus cache as we were getting ready to depart for home. Checked in the luggage and went for a quick wander. Everything was achieved easily, and we're happily home. Ended up doing a few of the series, only because they were near where we were located, and we thank you for the tour you took us on. TNLN, TFTC.

Dropped by whilst visiting from interstate. Nice quick find. Took elements GC. Thanks DEM

Log book returned

WhooHoo - Finally got to # 100!!!!!!!

ummmm..............we just found the log book in our bag of goodies when we got home. I guess we can write in it now!
So sorry - we'll get it back in ASAP
[B)]

A quick easy find - even 3-minute parking was easy in the nearby childcare centre car park.

We were particularly keen to find this one to leave the Geoelements Geocoin, which has an objective to travel around Australia... it hasn't left Victoria yet, so we left it here for someone to pick up on their way OUT of Melbourne sometime soon.

So: Left Geoelement geocoin, took sun pendant, signed log.

Also noted our next piece of information for the BT puzzle - TFTC!

Visited with Foxzami. TNLN. TFTC.

first find after getting of the plane, took coin and left pendant. TFTC

Well when they closed flights due to thunder storms at the airport I thought this would be a good chance to duck out and get the nearby 1:1 cache. Duck out was the word and I returned unsuccesful to the Qantas lounge totally saturated and with a soggy boarding pass. One day I will return on a sunny day - but I did have a long search with no result.

There weren't many things to look in or under at GZ.
I had a good look at all of them but didnt find it.

The rest of the team found this cache on their first day in Aussie, and Gary and I found it on the way out - a neat way of providing some closure to the trip. Nice walk and cache was relatively quickly found. Cheers Gav [1683]

Seeing as rediguana and I weren't with the rest of the crew who found this at the start of the Kiwis road trip, it was somewhat appropriate that it be our last for the trip. It's a pity that this couldn't be enlarged a bit to make it a TB hotel, since the other one has been archived. TNLN, Thanks.

Straight off the plane and off to find a cache. This is certainly handy for travellers and nicely tucked away clear of muggles. Many thanks.

First cache on Australian soil, and the start of a week long roadtrip.

TFTC

First cache after getting off the plane, ready for week of caching. First thing I notice - flies!! Ohh, how am I going to handle this!?
TFTC, M@

11:26 Flies everywhere today, this is our first cache in Victoria. We just got off the plane. TNLN. thanks for the cache.

Found at 1025. A nice quick grab after timing the run over the main road to get to GZ.

TNLN. TFTC.

I can see what part of this cache name means but what about the rest. It was a great way to fill in the bit of time we had. Thanks dak

Short walk while we waited for the Bus because we couldn't hire a car here. Found and got back just in time to catch the bus. Thanks for the cache dak's Emu Mob

Made for an interesting explore while waiting for an arrival from NZ. We are impressed at Owsta's stumbling over this by accident ... not exactly a mainstream spot to be exploring. TNLN. TFTC.

Found this one whilst waiting for our connecting flight. TNLN TFTC

Found this by accident - and wow im excited. Out to buy a GPS tomorrow! I never knew this existed. So cool.
Owsta

nice easy find after arriving from Hobart. Walked from terminal and after GPS settled from its hissy fit it was a quick log without looking out of place. Wanted to leave a few TBs but they wouldn't fit so will have to place them elsewhere. TFTC dak

Found while waiting for flight NZ08 back to Auckland. East find, good to get out of the airport TFTC

XC on business trip to Melbourne... Heading back to Auckland I decided to hunt this one before catching flight.. Maybe there was a TB or GC to take to NZ..
Parking was a little difficult but I parked in kindergarten carpark and walked to GZ...
Easy find. No trackables so signed the log, left calling card and replaced.
TFTC #476

A quickie after dropping some friends off at the airport, an easy find. Watched some of the planes land and headed home.

Found while being dropped off at the airport by the Harpists to fly home to Queensland. Dropped off TB, and four others for virtual visit as there was no more space.

Found as a team effort with geo_stik. I manned the car, he manned the log. Saved spending my son's inheritance on the carpark!

Grabbed as our last for the day, while waiting for my flight home.. Cya in a couple of days Melbourne.

Made the trip over to the cache while waiting to catch our plane back to Tassie. Thanks for the cache Daks Emu Mob.
Took Stromlo ScoutAbout TB for a scout about Tassie.

10:00 King Snr hung around while the lawn was being mowed In TB Scout Out TB Keychain

Incredibly windy here today. Waiting for our sons delayed Qantas flight from LAX. Traded coins.
Thanks for the hide dak's Emu Mob

Forgot to drop the TB so the website would know that it was there.

Hooray- found a cache big enough to leave my TB in. I thought I had buckleys chance and it was my last hope. Tnahkyou that small does not mean tiny in this case. Arrived way too early for my flight, so made use of some of the time by taking a stroll in the direction of the cache. I think this is a fantastic idea for a series of caches and would like to do similar in Adelaide, where I live. Left the TB and took an owl.Thanks a heap for the cache.
