As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been a number of months since the last owner note. I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it. Should you replace the cache after 30 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

This cache has been disabled for three months now, and it is uncertain if the cache is still there. If CO is not going to replace or check, then I suggest it is archived to allow other caches to be placed in area. Thanks.

I got the info yesterday before it was disabled, and found it with my sister with only a couple of minutes searching openings off the path. I didn't check coordinates, but it was pretty close, and if anything it was a few metres at most west of GZ / west of where I left the path.

As I was brought up in Balcombe, Sussex in the UK, I and sister were particularly keen to visit this; there were good views up and down the bay, so deserves a favourite point, tftc.
 
15-Nov-12
Searched as much as I could in business clothes. No luck. May have disappeared but can't be sure as there is no clue.

Just gotta make sure the cache is still there.

Caching this time of night in winter during the week makes getting a park close by a little easy.

Followed the path along the coast back to the cache.

A great view and the sound of the waves lapping was awesome.

A quick search turned up the hide.

I signed and moved on.

Fantastic views of the bay! Lots of people were taking advantage of the glorious weather sailing and snorkling.

Made me want to jump in - but its a l-o-n-g way down!

Surprised at the choice of container, and that its lasted so long here.

Thanks skiffle for this cache.

Third and final cache of the day for Mrs Biggles and I. Found this one on our way home in the evening just on dusk. Parked the car at the lookout area and walked around to the cache via the clifftop path whilst enjoying the views of the bay with a setting sun. Just as we were about to head back to the car from the cache Mrs B spotted a pod of dolphins offshore Mt Martha and moving around the coast really close to the cliff edge which we were able to follow as we walked back to the car. Cool
Certainly adds a little something to remember about this cache.

We enjoyed the walk and the views to this cache especially, as Biggles of Oz said, the dolphins. Lovely spot.

TN left top and US$20 bookmark.

A very hot day at 35+ degrees C. What a lovely walk along a very scenic part of the bay. People on the beach everywhere, boats enjoying a day on the water, and a well placed geocache. It doesn't get much better than this!. Took nothing and only left our comments in the log book.

#1521... Had a bit of an adventure on this one.. I stopped along the side of the road.. and well it didn't seem like such a good idea to walk into the cache... so I walked along the beach... the rocks didn't look too nice... than I found the right way in... easy to find once you got the right route... never seen a glass cache before!!! On holidays from Canada heading out tomorrow.. TFTC

Did this one on my own, as thought it sounded a little awkward to do with geo-toddler, particularly as I parked alongside the nearby road - a little bit of a nasty spot, I think. Anyway, was happy to have my last cache for the day be such a good one! Beautiful spot, lovely view, gorgeous (hot) weather... and a nice quick find after a rotten hard one I did earlier! Very Happy
TFTC!
TN except some nice photos, Left a mini green pen and a marble.

The last for today as we worked our way up the coast to a meal with relatives. We were rewarded with an awesome sunset from this site. Cache was quickly located, although we were surprised at the nature of the container as we understood this type of container was not permitted because of possible breakage! It’s been here for a long time so it must be OK!

1st find in Mt Martha. Started to bush bash as unfamiliar with the area only to be told as I scrambled over another branch about 50m from cache that there was a GOOD walking track lower down. Red Face. Back tracked and took the track. Found cache quickly then. Big Grin.

Nice hide with this one. After bush bashing our way through the scrub (There must have been a better way of getting to this one but we didn't find it!!!!), we had a short stroll down the path to the cache. TNLNSL TFTC

16-Sep-09
Very nice spot for a cache, and I am sure the views during daylight hours as oppose to 1AM would be much better. I regularly go cliff jumping around this area in summer so was also nice to see a cache down here! Took as a little while to find but found it eventually... TNLN/SL TFTC.

Tricky place to find a park but it was very quiet today and the only park nearby was free so parked there and headed down the path to GZ. GPS was saying cache was in the water, so after a quick recalibration had a GZ on land and not too far away, great views too. Found the cache. TNLNSL. TFTC.

Found at 1330. Parked on roadside about 100m away, and made the short walk down to approx 50m from the cache, at which point I contemplated bush bashing it, but as luck would have it, I went down a bit further a found a great access point to the track. Interesting spot for a cache. Would love to see where the track ends up.

Thanks.

Stopped on top of the hill after doing a U turn due to coming from Frankston direction. Appeared to need to traverse through bushes so with kids gave it a miss. Upon driving away, noticed a walking track and after reading logs, presume that must be walked down ...

Found during a caching day with Rigger64, next time I will read the description more carefully. We headed along the beach and across rocks and ended up at the bottom of a cliff. Not being the adventurous type, we headed back and drove to the top of the cliff and proceeded to an easy find!
