Thanks for thecache.

Since the owner of the cache hasn't contacted me, I'm reluctantly archiving this cache. If the owner wants to reinstate this cache, they should contact the reviewer that first published the cache.

Hey Guys,
Is thi back on line?
Looks someone found it after you disabled it..
 
27-Aug-08
Sorry about the delay. It had been muggled. Still in the process of replacing it somewhere nearby. Hopefully soon. Will log when up and ready.

Cheers

Found Cache well hidden today - took a while to find. Looks like original Log book in cache but completely saturated best to use a texta to write in log. Returned cache to well hidden spot again
 
16-Feb-08
See maintenance log below. Cache muggled and full of water. This is the first cache that we have ever found that had been destroyed and we feel very disappointed for the owners. You've heard of the "War on Terror" - well I've just declared "War on Muggles". [:(!]

Discovered the cache at 1045 after a brief search of GZ. The cache was reasonably exposed and in plane view. Upon inspection it was discovered that the cache was half full of water. The logbook and all contents are totally destroyed. At first I just thought that the lid was not sealing properly, however when I got back home and inspected previous logs it is clear that most of the contents are missing and that it had been muggled. The only items in the cache are the remains of a couple of small Yu-Gi-Oh cards and the logbook - nothing else. We dried out the cache as best we could with what we had and returned it to it's original site. It was hidden well enough that it could not be seen. Twisted
 
16-Feb-08
Looks as if Muggled. Will look into it soon and possibly relocate nearby. Appologies for any inconvienience.

Found whilst attending a family picnic in the park. Nice diversion during the day for geokids. Found after several minutes. Picked up Jenny Henny Penny TB. TFTC.

Not a hard find once the GPSr had settled down.

Crossing the "creek" wasn't a problem (I must have come from the "wrong" direction).

Found it again. Perfect for sending Simbah off on his adventures. Showed a few others what geocaching was all about when doing so. Was also there with one of the owners of the cache.

This is the second time I have been to this cache and boy has the drought affected the local vegitation.

Anyways, Bon Voyage Simbah!

Found this whilst doing Horatio's View. Took me a few minutes to spot the well hidden cache. Very peaceful there. Grabbed TB Smiley, didn't see the other one in there. This is cache no. 400!!! TFTC!

Found by listmaker on this sunny day. I really enjoyed sitting on the warm rocks under the trees while signing the log, just listening to the wind and the birds. Lovely. A very nice spot.

Thanks to Thyla and Thylo.
 
27-Oct-07
Found this one as I made my way around the "Horatio's Views" multi. The three caches I found in this area today introduced me to a spot I didn't know existed. This cache is in a nice peaceful spot, and I signed the log book in the shade of some of the eponymous river red gums. TFBMH (thanks for bringing me here), Thyla and Thylo. TNLN.

We grabbed this one today as we were heading down to catch up with some friends in Croydon. This spot also came recommended by Team GraMon due to a local eatery nearby Wink. The weather was certainly warming up by the time we got here from Shepparton, even so the park was a hive of activity with kids and parents everywhere. This also looked like a great spot to have a party and several groups were taking advantage of this. We parked the car and walked the short distance to the cache location. A very dry looking spot at the moment but this is common in most spots that we are caching in at present. We had to search for a few minutes before the well hidden cache showed itself but we got there in the end. An interesting spot Thylo and Thyla. Cache remains in good nick. TFTC. Cheers.

We Had a lovely lunch at "Smorgys" just before finding this one.

Found this fresh from an FTF on another Thyla and Thylo cache (Philosopher's Stone). The creek had a little water in it which was nice to see.

Nice hide in a very pleasant location. Thanks once again Thyla and Thylo, the third of your caches I found this morning.

This is a delayed log, I actually found it yesterday, with a damaged lid and lots of broken bits of things inside! I forgot to bring a pen and so did not sign log, but I filled it with quite a few swaps, as it looked like there had been a muggle attack!! I rehid it well.

This is a lovely park, thanks!
 
15-Apr-07
Found at 1500 while working on all the clues and waypoints in Horatio's View. Spent my afternoon criss crossing Bundoora Park, and still have not found Horatio's, but this easy find was a pleasant interlude.

Nice new logg book, almost felt like a FTF, but I think I still have a way to go for that pleasure.

Was pleased that my GPSr was almost exact. Sometimes it seems to be a way out.

Left mini dingo card, took nothing.

Checked on the cache this evening, don't feel that it has been muggled, just routine wear and tear of the container.
Have placed a new container and goodies with a new, log book. [^]Thyla and thylo.
 
13-Apr-07
We found this but the container was damaged and the contents were scattered around the area. Suspect vandalism has occured and this will definitely need attention. Also, the logbook is full, so this will need replacing. Logged our visit on a bit of paper. Fixed up the container as best we could and put it back in the presumed original hiding place, but the container has a hole in it.

Due to the damage, TNLN.
 
Found cache at 6pm.
Great spot. Took Tassie Tiger Pin and left a puzzle game.

Thanks for the cache!

12:30 Squire and I were out this morning while Geodog #2 was at training. We enjoyed the playground but it was soon a little too hot under the sun; even so we completed this very nice sized cache and even started the near by multi. In: Beaver in a movable blue cart (OK I am not good at my description) Out: Paint brush and TB Ramon and some near by litter. Thanks for bringing us here - we will be back soon both for the playground and to complete the multi.

[Found at about 5:45 tonight, just as it was getting dark. The kids loved playing in the creek-bed, and it took us a while to find the cache although GZ was easy enough.

TNLN. Thanks for the cache. Didn't do Horatio's View today as it was getting dark and the kids were weary after 3x1km cache-walks today.]

We were expecting a Red Gum (Eucalyptus cameldulensis) to be right near the cache site, but we're pretty sure the eucalypts around this creek-bed are not. The big old fat gnarly ones alone in the parkland are red gums though, if our botanical skills are any good.

Our first geocache since moving to melbourne. Took us a little bit of hunting to find. We must be a bit rusy.

You don't often find two caches in the one park so this was our lucky day. As we approached GZ there were two small boys playing with rocks about 3 metres from where the GPSr wanted us to be. Again our luck held as we sat on a nearby rock to watch the world go by they decided to leave. Once they were out of sight the well stocked cache was soon in hand
Took eye shadow
Left Pooh Magnetic stickers.
This side of town is very fortunate to have such a great place so near for all to enjoy
Thanks Thylo & Thyla for showing us this particular spot

Another easy cache in a nice location. We were a bit impressed by some of the nearby houses too. Left a blue squirrel and a blue dolphin and took a smiley stick on thingy. Might keep Jen happy when I get home! It was about home time while we were here but we still did four more.
Are we hooked on this game? It would seem so!

Found at 3:10pm. Twelfth find of Eighteen on our "Daylight Savings is here, so we're going out Caching All Day" extravaganza. We had this programmed in but nearly went past it as "Horatio's View" starting point obscured it on our GPSr map. Luckily Alsume had a note about it in the cache notes and we made an easy pick up. Thanks T & T from D & S B-A.
 
30-Oct-05
We took Alsume's advice and dropped in on this spot while on our way up the hill. Liz's nose as usual was spot on.
We only took the Elvis impersonating mouse TB and left a yellow smiley suction sticker.

I happened to be in the area this morning, and thought I'd have a go at this one. On parking nearby, I was impressed by the trees near the road, and couldn't help wondering what the area must have been like before white settlement. A nice bit of parkland, with some wet areas - and a cache! - just what I need to get the day off to a good start Smile.

Thanks Thyla and Thylo

Spent a bit of time finding the best way to this cache, eventually I had just a 20 metre walk to GZ. Never been into this park, however I have passed it on several occasions and wondered why it was so popular. As I drove in there were scores of people - and not just people having lunch. Found quickly at 1.25pm GAFF1. Thanks Thyla and Thylo for a good spot. Took: Fugu Fish TB.
 
02-Oct-05
Found on a post dinner caching spree with sarahg. The GPS backlight was working well and torches were in hand. I got my boots wet and Sarah found the cache.

Took Indian Elephant.

A fun find on a mild night. Thanks again T&T.
 
02-Oct-05
Found at 21:30 with SatyricTim. What an interesting location: Tim realised at one point he was standing right in an almost-dried-up creekbed. I'm sure it'd be a fascinating spot in daylight but this was a nighttime hunt for us. It took us a while hunting around but even by torchlight we did find the cache.

Thanks for a fun hunt!
