As there's been no cache to find for months, 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 the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

No surprise to visit the cache site today and find no cache.

This had been our least muggled cache so it is a little disappointing to see it is now gone.

But since it is such a good hide we will replace it soon.

this one has gone

Hmmm, I've got a sneaky suspicion that Quasar's little friends have made off with this one. I hadn't read the logs at the time but, since having a peruse, my experiences seemed to match quite a few others - co-ords pointing to BBQ, read clue and find the only likely looking spot which matches it (8-9m away), Dak's reference to footprints in the mud. The difference was that I didn't find the cache . I may have been looking in the wrong spot but, on checking the logs and seeing the last one, I decided there was a good chance it had been muggled .

Thanks anyway Team Diesel

Dropped in here after my appointment at the council. Wandering around with the GPS, a bunch of local kids asked me what I was doing. I had to explain and they promptly helped me find the cache. They were pretty good, signed the log and replaced it exactly where it was. But the owner should know there's now a group of 5 kids who know about this cache and play in the area all the time. Hopefully it doesn't go missing.

While waiting for an appointment in Packenham decided to find a few caches. This was the closest one on my phone so off I went! An easy find with not a soul in sight. I was off to the next quick smart! Thanks for the cache!

Found @ 1930 while wife visited friends within eyesight of GZ and 3 yo geodaughter played in the park. Shame about the amount of rubbish and broken glass in the vicinity of GZ.

we took some new geocachers to find this one. Great hide. Pick your timing though

We definitely disturbed the young "courting" couple nearby, but that's OK - we're old and past all that sort of thing! A nice easy find on a beautiful day.

Mrs Monch asked if I wanted to go play with the kids playing cricket, but I think she was joking

Only had to dodge a couple of muggles.

Another one in the bag.
The place looks llike it is a work in progress and we were a bit worried on the walk to the cache that it might not be safe for long. That couldn't have been further from the truth, nice spot for a hide,
TNLNSL TFTC, find #395 for Echo & Spice.

What a great location for a bbq or picnic with the family and a spot of caching. And what a great hide - very sneaky Team_Diesel. Had good fun tracking this one down. TFTC

GZ put me right on the hot plate so looked in the logical spot and found it. Thanks for a cache in the next street where we were visiting.

After a great Father's Day Morning, we were determined to reach 150th cache. Quickly retrieved. 3yo had fun in the park as usual. And after 20 or so minutes we used the old "let's find another park!" on 3yo.
Thanks for the Cache.

Found @ 3pm as looking for my friends new home.
I was planning to place a cache in here until I discovered that one was already placed close by.
Easy find SL TFTC

Nearly didn't stop for this one due to the well settled looking presence of a muggle family enjoying the last of the autumn sunshine. Decided it was too nice a day, so thought we'd just enjoy a walk and get the cache another time. Lo and behold, as our walk commenced the muggles left and we were able to head quickly to GZ and locate the cache.

Got to this one at dusk and my gps had me searching certain items. Soon checked the clue and was glad I did as it had me some distance away where the cache was found quickly. Thanks Team Diesel.

Found this one after scratching our heads for a bit but eventually worked it out TFTC Regards Sarian

New geocacher MIKKI1947 Found quite easily

It was getting late and we were getting cranky but we knew we could get one more find for the night. So we did!
Sent Lips in for the hard part and the cache was soon in hand.
Thanks for the cache.

XC on business in Beaconsfield. Hunting a few after a busy day with clients. Mumble mumble... Only saw one "Big" rock and tried everywhere... I hate dnf's..!! maybe I will come back next trip.
Thanks anyway...

2nd attempt after geowife threw tantrum over likely location. This time went smoother however and the cache was quickly found. SL.

This was number 1 of 10 finds for the day. We moved to the area from Sydney last week, and found this was an awesome way to see the what our new home has to offer. The geokiddies thought the park was awesome (it waned a bit after they saw the park at GCKW2W Wooden Work however, its now their favorite in the area!!).

Happy Australia Day.

Find # 1846 and 8th of the third day at about 12:55pm. Accompanied by Highrod, Sandar10 and GeoJessWoof on our way home from a long weekend to Moe and beyond. We had to rely on the hint to find this one. TNLN, Signed Log, Thanx Team_Diesel....

Found as the "navagator" with Highrod and Oenze.

Crisp Image

Found at 17:10. In conjunction with Crisp Image. Checked a couple of likely spots then used the hint and cache was easily found. Signed log, thanks.

We knew where this one would be, and just as shelly went to grab it we were greeted by a group of curious young girls. they seemed to be happy with us playing hide and seek.

0127 re-logging due to name change

I really think I should get myself some glasses. Found with the help of the owner. Thanks Team_Diesel

Tried this some time ago but was thwarted by Muggles and had to leave. This time, mid week and mid day no one in sight...for a moment or two. Then a walker, followed by a lady with her dog, then the coast was clear. A little more searching (I didn't use the clue)and then more muggles!!! They were playing football, no idea why they weren't in school. They didn't seem too interested in me so I persevered and finally I found it! Thanks

As Chewin' said, No muggles, quick find. No water under the bridge either.
Thanks, Robmc.

A quick find. No muggles around so it was easy.
Thanks again

Working in the area and thought I'd get a few nearby caches. Not to be. Lovely spot but crowded with young muggles who looked like they were there to stay. I will return another day.

Found @13:28 with NEXT! TNLNSL TFTC

13:27 was RFMC (Rapidly Found Micro Cache) with Scooters Mob. TNLNSL TFTC

Quick find in another nice development in the area. Thanks again for another fun cache.

A nice quiet part of Pakenham this afternoon and I was able to quickly grab and log cache. thanks.

Another lunch break cache. This area is growing quickly and I think we will find more and more caches appearing in the area.
SL TFTC

Found at 1pm after needing the clue. SL TFTC!

Tried to sit at this location and have some afternoon tea but the wind was so stong it kept blowing the cups and food off the table.
Thanks Team Diesel.

Just to windy to hang around, found the cache and got out as fast as we could.
Thanks Team Diesel.

Found at 16:30 hours in the company of Romax. A really pleasant spot to sit and unwind.

Thanks to Team Diesel

Found by Roma and Max together with The Swaggies.
Second last find for the day and we had to wait for the mothers and their offspring to leave, then a quick find.

Found at 9:53, my first of many of this series today. Thanks.

Dear Team Diesel,

We set out on a quick lunchtime jaunt, to check a few of those RMDC caches that we have always been meaning to visit and this was the third. This one didn't have many hiding spots but we still managed to choose the real spot last anyway after being distracted with all the other likely spots first. Thanks once again for the invite to your cache.

Regards,

D & S B-A

Found on 30/10/05 @ 0641 AEDT. The 3rd of 58 caches for the day with Facitman for the Spring Caching Carnival.

No muggles around at this early hour to interrupt a quick and easy find

They do a good job of making green areas in these new estates. An early morning walk each day around the site of this cache sounds like a nice way to live.
Cache was found quickly by Facitman.

hey
found this one but u might want to check it, it was a little wet

Thanks team diesel for showing us this lovely area ,kids liked the playground .Our eldest daughter found this cache after looking for about 10 minutes.

The GPSr directed me towards the usual Team_Diesel hiding spot and so spent about 10 minutes searching all of the likely spots with no luck. Checked the hint and found it straight away at 3.30pm GAFF3. Thanks Team_Diesel.

I took note on what Dak had said in his log and used my tracking skills. Thanks

Third of six finds in my attempt to clean up the last of the RDMC caches. I still hadn't had lunch, so I bought some and took it to this cache. There were two workmen building some sort of brick structure near GZ. I decided to eat my lunch in the car and hope they finished soon. They were still there when I finished eating.

I walked to GZ and put the remains of lunch in the rubbish bin. I sat down on one of the benches and reconnoitred the area. It turned out that a strong possibility had the advantage of being out of site of the workers. The footprints in the mud were a dead giveaway. I found it at 1500. (Yes, I know; it was a late lunch--that seems to happen to me when I'm out caching.) Thanks to Team_Diesel for the cache.

Found this one with rain threatening. There were no muggles around at all today, as such the cache was found after a very short search. Thanks for bringing me to another great little park I would otherwise not have known about.
Thanks Team_Diesel

Found at 12PM.

Another neat little hiding spot. This one was an easy find, but before I went in for the cache I saw a man and his kids walking away with a bag full of small boxes. And a box fulll of toys, forgetting that this was a micro I asked him if he was a geocacher, he asked "what" lol I explained to him what geocaching was, and it turns out he was just a friendly local. Found the cache only moment after. Thanks from M.B.

Found 15:50, a nice easy find even with a number of juvenile muggle in the area

TNLN, thanks Team_Diesel.

Easy Find

Found by Mary & David at 1100. Wish there were facilities like this in our area. Nice to have some sunshine too. A couple of nannies with their charges at the playground, but they were intent on supervision, not what we were doing. Thanks to Team Diesel.

I was passing by on my way to more distant caches and decided to check out this one. When I arrived, I had the whole place to myself. After checking a couple of likely places, I found the cache promptly. This area will be lovely for the nearby residents in a few years time.

Thanks for the cache.

found easily despite light rain

Found at 1:30pm our third in the last half hour! A nice little lake. Had to watch out for kids playing on the playground equipment nearby, but we made the find and were on our way undisturbed.
TNLNSL
thanks Team Diesel

A very easy find [^] . The water level in the lake was very low today, but this looks like it will be lovely when full. We all enjoyed a nice play on the small park, on a cool Sunday afternoon, wrote, stamped, let chick 1 place her stamp also and then off again. A nice way to get back into caching after the recent dash had worn us out a bit.
Thanks Team Diesel

Found by caughtatwork at 9:46
A nice little urban parkland and water works being developed here. It will take some time to look a little more natural but when it does it will be a boon to the locals.
I was able to spot the cache a few moments after arriving and there was not a muggle in sight, so I was free to look anywhere I liked.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks Team_Diesel. A couple more RDMC's for me today.

Mr.Coffee failed to see this cache and missed an opportunity to get to this one first, therefore I am renaming this cache as Rather Delayed Missed this Cache #14.
So while Mr.Coffee worked today Shelby zipped out and found No14.
Many thanks Team Diesel for another RDMC series cache.
Regards Mr.Coffee and the "didn't you get the $50 bribe for heads up on any new cache" Clan.

Just checking Geoching.com on a wet Monday night, not much on TV, when FTF caches to be had. Grabbed GPS, 2 eldest kids, coats and off in the Chef mobile, hopeing to beat Team Coffee and Team Crackers to these FTF's. Pooring with rain we arrived at the GZ after getting a FTF at RDMC # 13 and sure enough we beat them again.

Thanks Team Diesel for this fantastic series, we want more!

Cold wet night but as we were already wet from RDMC 13 we decided to forfeit the early night completely and head off for this one. We did not know this estate existed until tonight, looks like it will be a great park as the trees get larger. Found quickly although the GPSr was not as sure as I was as to were it would be. Once again only had stamp to sign with. Again no Mr Coffee but again the Chefs had been here
Thanks Team Diesel keep em coming.
