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.

it sounds like this cache has been muggled by vandals so i am disabling it until i can get to area,which may be a while off.

Looked for this one for a few minutes before we found the GeoCaching Sheet lying on the ground in the wet all on it's lonesome. Found a few stickers stuck to the fence that looked like cache contents, but could't find any other parts of the cache.

This one has been muggled

Thanks for the challenge

first geocache find. easy to find. TNLNSL

We searched around for a while before resorting to the clue. Even then I was surprised at the location. A bit cheeky?

Interesting place to visit. No victory in sight today. Thanks jack0.

After the 46 degree heat kept us inside yesterday, the cooler weather today inspired me to get out and attack the southern end of the GEGP group.
Found quite quickly, coords spot on. There was someone in the back yard so had to be stealthy. As soon as I felt for it, I touched it.
Good day to find it with Victory beating Adelaide in the first leg of the Major Semi last night 2-0.
Only one clip on sistema box.

#26 of 30 on our "Out East Friday". Found at 5.00pm.

Luckily the playground was deserted this afternoon, and so was the backyard! Surely they know that this cache is here?!?! A quick find for us, then on our way. Thanks for showing us this quiet little park.

No 6 for the day and a very quick find. This cache is hidden in plain sight and it makes me wonder how it hasn't been muggled.

TNLN

I finally beat my dad into finding the hide location, but how is it still here?

This nearly doubled our previous cache-finding record in a day...But at this stage, we just wanted to go home!!
Careful where you shine your torches, and where you stick your head. A sly reach by the Mrs, and cache in-hand.
Cache is missing one clip but is in perfect condition.
Thanks for the Cache and smashing our record.

Found at 5.40pm. Nice hide and was very quite while finding this one as we heard a neighbour over one of the fences.

We came in search of this cache some time ago, and were thwarted by muggles in the playground. Came back today, and the same thing happened. Dad was very suspicious of us lurking in the bushes (who wouldn't be) so we had to give up and go and do some other caches. Came back later and there was no-one at all in the park (at last!). We had a spare logbook with us luckily, so we started that off - the other one is full but is still in the cache. The cache container needs to be replaced, we didn't have one of those with us unfortunately. TNLN SL TFTC.

I nearly gave up on this cache in Brandon Park Park. After rethinking my search strategy I doub;ed back and sure enough, there it was. TNLNSL.

Easy find - logbook is full and Systema container missing and arm so could with some maintenance.

A neat hide. I needed the clue. I swapped a workman for a spider, I would have left a TB if there had been the room. Thanks jack0.

My first-ever Geocache in Australia! I was so excited - and I dedicate this to my amazingly gorgeous boyfriend. [:X][:X][:X]

Found without any problems together with my dear friends Hund (Judith) and Roadbike54 (Raquel) - they are both soon-to-be Geocachers. Hopefully!

The logbook is completely full!

Hey!
Thanks for the cache
Need a new logbook though!

After not finding on a visit last week the GPS behaved a bit better and it was a quick find and log in the rain.

TFTC

This would have been embarrassing if we got caught red handed
Luckily there was lots of noise coming from the field
Thanks jackO

I felt better that Freddo had introduced himself to the neighbours before. I made out I was watching the socca match. I took some pics. Interesting to see our friend dak's had been FTF on this one. Respect was the order of the day.

Clear skies, TeamAstro.

Given the location we thought it might be easier to go round the front and knock on the door as we figured the property must be owned by cachers.
However our approach gave us a chance to see the victory in action although all the action seemed to be down the other end of the field.

This was the last cache with my borrowed geo-kids Shannon and Brendon. I had to use the clue to find this one. They didn't like it because they were too short to find it.

TFTC

I hope you know the neighbours. You must know the neighbours!! Are you the neighbours?

Thank god the neighbours do not have a dog.!!

Hell of a cache, if you do not know the neighbours.

Great cache if you like football. The round kind...

Found the cache at 4.15pm. Accompanied with pwala. Lovely park. No swap. SL. Thanks jack0 for organising the cache and hunt.

Accomplained with Everlasting and my geokids enjoyed the playground, nice park and feeling bit chilly TFTC.

A quick find once I used the clue. Even then I wasn't all that comfortable searching around this location. A few lads were having a kick of the round ball on the other side of the oval in the rain, they're dedicated!

Thanks,

We had a quick look for this one tonight, but didn't feel comfortable with a torch in the dark here. I could see muggles inside and didn't want to alarm them. I think I'd rather have a look during the day

Thanks for the clue!

1058. Out and about I saw 2 fire engines with sirens blaring racing in the opposite direction to me. After another cache I basically followed the same engines to the cache area. It appears they were responding to a false alarm.

The cache was a very easy find and those that know me will figure out why.

TFTC and a top little spot.

Rated: for Overall Experience

First of 15 for the day. Successfully found after a short search of the area. TFTC

Great cache, I flucked it and found it first go. i have also added a maintenance log for the cache, as it needs a replacement log book.

A great cach location, although I think I was very lucky finding it straight away. The only thing I can comment on is that the log book needs replacing as its just about full.

Found on our Melbourne to Adelaide road trip and caching adventure. Appropriately we found it the day after Melbourne Victory beat Chunnam Dragons 2-0 and also the day after Mr Nalawod had purchased a Melbourne Vicory shirt to bring back to NZ. TNLN TFTC

Found at 03:25 24/02/08 on my way home on a night out, this one popped up on the TomTom . Glad I had torch in the car. Half expected the boys in blue to arrive whilst doing this one.
Thanks for the fun Jack0

we are here now. Left a torch, took a texta.

[I had trouble finding where to park for this one as it all seems to be permit parking, but I ran the gauntlet and headed in for the cache, found it quickly] it pays to be tall[

Thanks jack0 for the cache.

Well, on a 40*C day & 30 min for lunch, what do I find myself doing? Caching!!
Looked here last night, but the nosey neighbour with the gate in the fence didn't belive that I was looking for my golfball. After he came back & offered to get a torch to help, I decided to call it a night & come back today.
Found it today, very tricky jack0!
Took dice & frog, left coloured permanent texta.
Find #54 for Echo & Spice.

had to walk up and down the fence before finding this one, and picking up the blue hippo - not sure where he and the green frog are racing to but but the green frog seems to be stuck in Germang - go hippo

Easy find, when I read the correct cache notes. TFTC. Left TB.

Found this whilst I was at the local shops for lunch. Felt that it was a little vulnerable to Muggles so I grabbed the TB Three Little Pigs.

Found on my weekend trek around the suburbs. I had issues with GPS reception & then just needed a sanity check so I called a helpline and was steered back on the right track. It was not where I figured, because I thought that would not be proper as it did not mention anything about permission being gained. TNLNSL.
Thanks again jack0,
Roostaman.

Found by Teppwa on a sunny Friday afternoon. Close to work and an easy find. A nosey muggle 2 houses south stuck his nose over the fence and was interested, however he was put to ease.
Took - Nothing
Left - 3 Little Pigs TB

Found at 1040. Nice easy walk and find. Junior muggle cricket was going on at the time, but no problem.

Found at 1650hrs - Noted that the cache needs a new log book that is nearly full - TNLN TFTC - Regards Sarian

Our first visit here had to be abandoned as a soccer match was being held on the adjacent field and the playground was full of kids! So upon returning later in the day, we were lucky to find that the area was now completely deserted. The cache was located after a short search, and not really where we expected it to be - nice hiding spot! Took TB 'Heaven can wait', LN and SL at 4:20pm. TFTC - it's good to find a cache that has a 'different' hiding style!

great cache!

Found at 1.45pm on Ebay pickup trip in Melbourne
Left the car in a nearby street a found quickly. If children are playing on playground there is enough camoflauge to make a quick find. If worried read the hint
Thanks for the find

Quick find on our way home.

Thanks

Found this at 12:20 after an (expensive) furniture hunt nearby. It took 2 goes to find it as I didn't have the paperwork with me the 1st time and I couldn't find it for the life of me. Once I had the cachesheet with me though, it all fell into place so I guess that makes it a GAFF3. The girls had a great time at the playground while I searched so all was not lost.

Took stickers, left flexi golf tee. Thanks jack0.

9 of 17 found today

First of 22 finds for the day. At the early hour of 7.30am I was kicking the dew off the grass on the way to this cache. Easy enough find as the clue was most helpful. Thanks JackO.

Quick, second find for a 4 for 4 geo-outing. TNLN.

Yay! After three DNF's in a row, and the clock ticking down to midnight, we finally found the cache to make a new Australian record...

26 consecutive days in a row finding a cache! Hooray! The previous records are:

25 days - If (9 Aug 06 - 2 Sep 06)
23 days - dak's Emu Mob (14 May 04 - 5 Jun 04)
23 days - BackPAQer (4 Nov 06 - 26 Nov 06)

This record got more and more difficult as time went by - first off we cleared out our local area so we had to venture further and further out, plus time constraints made it trickier. Will hopefully get to 30 days in a row and then take a nice long break!

Found with rross7 and a fellow helper from work. We would like to reiterate the doggie-doo warning but add that the neighbors are now friendly towards geocaching.

Found at 1045. We also had to drive around looking for an access point. As we headed towards GZ we noticed a large dump of dog manure in the way. Be wary there is more here than GEODOGGIE FRIENDLY (GCW53G). We were about to walk away when we noticed another possible hiding place. Bingo very ingenious spot.

TNLNSL @ 1045.

We came here tonight determined to find this cache.

We have had two DNF in the past but tonight we walked straight up to the cache.

Thanks for the cache JackO

[i found this with my school geocaching elective so i have still put it on my account. it was fun but you need to be quiet because this is near some houses, i wont say where, but my class was a little noisy but thankfully no one heard us. im saying this in brackets because its important to be a quiet geocacher . i took out a little whale pencil topper and stuck in a pompom]i found it funny that it was on a fence and stuff. [ have fun people]

Found at 13:34 Game of cricket anyone? Easy find. Howzat!! TNLNSL TFTC

Found @ 7:40 on the way down to McCrae for a working bee at the club. Left a little early so I could do a couple of caches on the way.

TNLNSL

Interesting spot, interesting hiding place! (Would never have expected it!) Hard to find a access point – drove all the way around the block! TNLN – thanks jack0

Didn't even get to look...
2 games of soccer, an overcrowded playground, and numerous spectators abound!
I didn't want to be arrested on suspicion of being up to no good with a 'camera-like' device in my hand, in that location!

Reasonably easily once I realised that the clue is actually not quite right! I nearly tried to go somewhere I shouldn't have! Took clip, left fish. Thanks jack0.

Found @ 1:00pm

GPSr took me straight to the cache. TNLN

This is our second attempt here and as is often the case we wonder why we missed it the first time!

from Romax.

Took gold gelpen, left two green corner clips. TFTC

Took a little while - GPS didn't have me in the right place plus some people living near by where out in their yard very close to GZ. Checked the clue to do the find and there it was, right where I didn't think it would be.

Nicely hidden. Resorted to the clue but probably didn't need it if I had searched thoroughly. Not everything has to be obvious! Rubber dice in and marble out!

trusty etrex led me straight to it.

A nice quick cache on the way to Grandma's for Mothers Day.
GZ was putting me right on someones gate to the park. No, it couldn't be.... nope gate's locked. phew. found with no worries after that. Thanks JackO!

Found at about 4:30 this afternoon. No muggles around.
Good hiding spot! Used the clue...

A nice easy find and not a muggle in sight. While sitting under the nearby gum tree it decided to drop (ouch) a sample of it's fruit on me.

Opening a cache is like pulling a dozen Bon-Bons all at once, at Xmas.

I actually saw the chopper landing from my desk at work and decided it was time for a break. Did u see a guy and blonde haired girl with a kid watching it take off ?

We had another try at this cache at lunch time today and with a few cars parked nearby we decided to walk around the pitch once or twice and see who would stay and who would leave.

Amongst the cars in the car park was a police station wagon but despite our best looking we could see no police.

After our second lap of the pitch and more muggles arriving we guessed we were not going to be able to get close today.

Still, a lovely day in the sun so we set off for a third lap. Mid way through the third lap the police officer appeared along with two pilots and an expensive looking Dauphin 2 helicopter.

This brought out even more muggles and our chances of a discrete look around were gone.

We finished our walk around and went back to work.

I actually checked the cache on my return to work yesterday 1/2/06 and it is there but it was in a slightly different spot to it's original position. I have moved it back where i orginally placed it. Happy hunting

We had a look for this cache before work but couldn't find it.

Decoded the clue and looked in the most likely place and still no find.

There has been a reported sighting of this cache from SSMC4 so i guess i will enable it again. I'm still on holidays ATM so i will check it when i get back on the 31/01/06. Happy Hunting, Jack0.

I had a look and found the cache today - TNLNSL.

Imagine my surprise when I went to log it and found the cache had been disabled !!!! I can only imagine that it was replaced in a slightly different location, so jackO you can breathe a sigh of relief.

Thanks for the cache.

I went to check on the cache today but it has gone! I will ask the last cacher if he put it back.

THIS TOOK US A WILE TO FIND .TRICKY HIDING PLACE , NICE PARK

Staying in Mulgrave this was first on the list on our trip out for the day. Not too far away. GPS threw us off a little but using the clue we eventually spotted it. Hopefully the family having a BBQ behind one of the other fences didnt notice us. Cache #4 on our Dubbo-Canberra-Melbourne-Adelaide-Dubbo holiday.

Missed the turn that Oenze directed me too on the way here and lucky we did because we wouldn't have got here the way we were going. Anyway found the way in and the cache and the logs are in. TNLN according to my notes although I think I did swap something. Hope you dont want to do a trinket audit!!!!
Scared off a bloke sleeping in his car. He must have thought we looked bad. (We don't, and arn't)
Thanks very much.

Just started raining when I arrived, and of course the sprinklers were on the oval. Fortunately, I did not have to go near them. Looked at the office blocks opposite and wondered if jack0 was hard at work (well, at work anyway).
Had a look at a few trees befoe finding the correct location.
Took: Nothing, Left: Squashy Frog (only thing that fitted)
Thanks, Robmc.

Found on 30/10/05 @ 2203 AEDT. The 53rd of 58 caches for the day with Facitman for the Spring Caching Carnival.

Mindful of how the neighbours might view a couple of dodgy characters with lights attached to their heads, we were careful to remain unseen while we found, logged, and replaced this unusually located cache

A friend and I looked for this cache yesterday and couldn't find it. We kept walking around ground zero and saying things like "It couldn't be on private property, it must be over here" and didn't find it.

I decoded the clue and went back for another look today and still couldn't find the cache. There was one place near the coords that looked very much like it might have been the hiding place but it was empty.

It's probably just that I'm inexperienced but perhaps the land owners have removed the cache.

not one person in park and quikly realised where cache was when got to gz.took nail stickers and left horse 3 sets of stickers thanks jacko
