This cache has been dead for more than 6 months and the CO hasn't logged on since last year. Time to go, me thinks.

As there has been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it has been a number of months since the last owner note I am archiving this cache to keep 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 a reviewer (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, the reviewer will 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.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 30 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness. If you require more time please be sure to post a note (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the page and post a note every month or so to keep everyone up to date.

Time for this one to go which is sad enjoying these older ones.

Spent 5 minutes or so looking around but found nothing. Should have checked previous logs before I worked out GZ and wasted my time.

I think it is probably missing.

The owner definitly needs to check up on this one.

If you please read the log - or any of the other find logs in the last 6 months - you would not be lost.

The cache is missing, it does not exist - the owner has not responded to maintenance requests.
All that remains in place at GZ is a rusted metal bracket that used to hold a key-safe in place.

As per all the online 'found' logs in the last 6 months, all that is left at GZ is a rusted (previously) magnetic bracket - nothing else, no container, no log, no nothing else.

After checking the previous logs I confirmed I was in the right location, and the rusted bracket I was looking at was all that remains of the cache - so as per other visitors - I considered the cache found, but also needing archiving since the actual cache has not existed for some months now.

The hint is a nice play on words, but since I came from the other direction, I didn't see it on the way in.

Cache has been missing for 6 months, all that is left is a rusted metal bracket.
CO does not appear active anymore.

Found magnet only

Nice easy find for first multi

Tftc!!!

Found cache few days ago

Tftc, no container or log. No letter or number, maybe need maintenance

I parked close to GZ and thought to myself that a nearby item would be a good place for a cache. A pleasant stroll around the park was had and after a little number crunching a plausible GZ was was reached back at the original item.. However a few minutes of searching revealed only a magnet.. a quick phone a friend confirmed that I was in fact at the right place and looking at the right magnet, however the key safe was long gone.. I attempted to sign the magnet, however with no spare containers in the car I didn't have a lot of choice.. I suspect that with the owner inactive unresponsive this cache too may go the way of the rest.. sadly.. Thanks for the cache and Thanks Joe for confirming my suspicions..

Found 1220hrs easily after firstly mucking up co-ords. TFTC

First for the day

Great play on words. Unfortunately the Letter and Number have rubbed off, so couldn't write this down.

come for are another later in the week and just found it good hide TFTC

** Log sheet needs replacing

** container is cracked and NOT sealing needs replacing - A.S.A.P

- Insects of all shapes and sizes are living within the cache -

Viewed the sign long ago & had the calculations ready to go, so a quick sneak by paid off today. SL TFTH

Had a bit of trouble with the numbers therefore I executed a PAF option and the cache was soon in hand.
tftc

Found this one while our cubs were at the park for some investitures and grey wolf presentations TFTC

At the park for a scout ceremony and decided to go for a late night cache run on way home. SL. TFTC

Found this after having a feed of Charcoal Chicken and chips from the local shop. I used to bring our kids here to "The Rocket Ship Park" all the time when they were little. - A place of great memories.

I found the box out in the open on the steel fence, so cleaned out all the live bugs and positioned it out of site in a better position.

Found @ 1:54 pm. Find # 1020.
While I was in the area I had a quick look for this one.
found the info I needed, worked on the numbers and I was off to GZ and after a short search I had located the hide.
Thanks to -e^ip for this cache.

A quickie near home. Got a surprise on opening the cache ...... Approx 20 earwigs congratulating me on my find. Don't know how discreet I was when I was shaking them of my hands. Luckily the park was empty. TFTC

After last nights aborted effort for night time caching (having a bad cold and all) I decided to get out and about today and get some fresh air into my lungs. The problem of course now is where to start. All caches from home are now some distance and after last nights effort I was concerned with caches in Berwick coming up as DNF. But I tried again and had a very successful job of it in Berwick, Officer and Pakenham. After doing the calcs I spent way to much time looking at the wrong thing, then as I was about to walk away I saw it. I was soon signing the log after so much wasted time. Thanks (also no information on lid).

Have to be sharp to find this one!

Found @1725 #307
Was driving back home when the car GPS "bing" telling me of a cahe near by.
So stop and completed the first waypoint. Finding the cache at GZ took a few mintues but was soon easily found.
The cache page mentions making note of the "number and letter" on the lid of the cache There was however nothing written on the cache lid on either side. Is the number and letter there or did I just not look close enough?
Anyway thanks -e^ip for the cache.

A pretty quick find as the park was empty at 3pm. Even faster walk back to the car as I parked pretty much on top of GZ
Thanks for the cache

took a while to find it but got it in the end

Some local 'Bois' were our audience as we gathered the required information, and a short stroll later we had the cache in hand. TFTC

No Clue on this one

TNLNSL

TFTC

Spotted the required plaque from a distance, so was able to walk past WP1 noting the info without needing to stop. Some quick calcs and was on the way to GZ. Thanks for the cache.

The local 'boi's were inquisitive to what we were doing with the plaque.

GZ was calculated and we checked every possible place, before making the find - we seemed to have missed the critical piece in the description. Haha.

Thanks again -e^ip for this cache.

Arrived to find a deserted park so made gathering wp info easy. Short stroll to GZ and found it in the first place i looked. Fortunately the cache seems to have been rid of the earwig problem. SL TNLN TFTC

Easy find once I did the math right. EARWIGS!

Found without a problem,but like Squalid's note states the cache seem's to be a breeding ground for earwigs ,after shaking them out i managed to sign the log before returning the cache to it original position.
Thanks for the cache -e^ip

This one was in my GPSr which doesn't differentiate between traditionals and multis so chalk up another multi for me! Very easy, even for a maths dunce like me (hence my aversion to multis). TFTC!

Found the cache - we got a bit of a fright as it had become an earwig breeding ground, and lots of them crawled out when we opened it. Also, couldn't see a number in the lid. The skate park was pretty busy today, mostly the kids were using scooters rather than skateboards. TFTC.

Nice find in cold and windy.
TFTC

Enjoyed this 2 part cache. Proved to be a quick find. TFTC. SL

Thanks Crank1 for help me with multi. SL. Thanks -e^ip

Finally Found it with littlecrank.. I was bit frustrated when I saw on watchlist few people have found it.. So we went there oh what easy to find it.. I dont understand why I did not look it in first place.. TFTC

Found it today on a Blitz of Cranbourne.
No YP Muggles today - to wet and miserable.
TFTC

TFTC Nice and easy; Took no time to find it. Enjoyed the quick multi;

Logged this while out and about in this area running errands. TFTC Nice two parter!

I have been 3rd attempt to look for this, but none there. Can you check if it's still there.. Thanks

Nice two part quick cache TNLN SL TFTC

Find #8 this morning at about 4:30am. The very early morning traffic was starting to pickup along the main road but the park was well and truly all mine. Found the necessary numbers and plugged the resulting coordinates into the GPSr then headed over to GZ. A quick search of the area resulted in me finding the cache on the ground on the park side of the structure. Signed the log and used the caches magnetic qualities to rehide it, maybe not in it's original hiding spot but i'm sure it's withim 1m of it. TFTC.

Cache was found very wet. I have replaced the plastic bag inside. TFTC...SL....TNLN

Looked everywhere for this one! Decided to give up & take the minibogans home, when suddenly it all made sense - So I made MegaBogan turn the car around and go back for another look - with success this time around!

Found after translating the hint - didn't get near it with the coords worked out. Minibogans enjoyed a play at their favourite playground while we scratched our heads - clue twigged and the race was on!
Emptied the cache of several ear wigs and couldn't get the number off the bits of disintegrated paper inside the lid.
TFTC

Lots of muggles today, but geokids still wanted to know where the GZ was so they very quickly retrieved the first clues and we sat and worked out the GZ locality. After a short walk and a quick check to see if anyone was interested in us, we had the cache which was in full view of anyone passing. The cache was in poor condition with a family of earwigs having moved in and the number on the lid missing. I will have to contact the owner for this clue. After evicting the squatters and logging our find, we carefully returned the cache, hidden a little better than we found it. TFTC. KeMS

I was a little bit hesitant when looking for this cache as the previous logs didn't really make it sound too appealling! Anyway gathered the info from the first wpt and headed off to GZ which I parked at anyway! Only took a minute or 2 and the cache was in hand. No weeds to be seen either but clue is still missing.

TFTC

See previous log.

Finally got this cache. It's on its last legs. Clue inside is not there.

It's pathetic on behalf of your council that noxious weeds are allowed to grow all over this structure. They really should be removed before birds spread the little buggers all over the neighbourhood. Grrrrrr! Anyhow, the cache location was pretty interesting and the kids were busting some gnarly moves. The cache was also a quick find, thankfully!!

Cheers,

R - B

log needs replacing and the clue on the lid is not readable, also magnet falls off.

I liked the muggle deterrent plant at the GZ.
The log book is full so signed on the piece of paper left by Harlips

On a day out with Rigger64 and CarfordSearumCachers

Found on a day out and about with Landsergruppe & Hope The GeoDoggy.

Hmm was a bit worried at the cache site due to the spiky plants all over the place, Once it was found we were relieved.
In the company of Landsergruppe, Rigger64 and Hope the Geodoggy

Found this one without too much trouble. A lot of people around so we had to be a bit careful. Found at 5:30 PM.

Found clue OK and proceeded to final GZ. If it was located where I think it should be it was impossible to get to with out protective gear to shield yourself from the masses of blackberry bushs over GZ. Tried to spot it with my torch but couldn't see it.

It was getting very late but couldn't resist grabbing this one on the way home. The log was full so we added an extra piece of paper.
Thanks for the cache.

Log is so wet it is falling apart & the magnet is no longer properly attached to the container, be careful with it.

Found it today, nice little cache.
TNLNSL, TFTC, find #36 for Echo & Spice.

Doing this one we didnt even notice that an accident had happened just up the road.
The ambulance rolling up sort of clued us in. Someone had decided to remove a tree with their 4wd.

[Found at 900am Sunday morning in light rain on my second attempt.] Thanks for the metal clue from previous log. [Cache was again full of earwigs! Logbook was damp and also full of earwigs. Put logbook in small ziplock bag to protect it from bugs and elements. It's now a tight fit to close but with patience it will all fit in the cache. thanks -e^ip , great camo job on this one.

It was raining when we arrived here today - probably a good thing as that meant there was no-one around. Found the hiding place after a bit of search. I returned to the car to open the cache, only to find that it was full of earwigs!! Not nice... anyway, signed the damp and dirty logbook at 5pm. TFTC.

0166 re-logging due to name change

Nice, fairly quick find - nice hide. TFTC

Another nice quick find whilst out over this way with some friends

Found @ 13:15 with Clarks Mob. TNLNSL TFTC

Like at least one predecesser I spent some time looking in the more obvious area before making an easy find elsewhere. Thanks -e^ip.

Easy little multi done before skaters were up this morning. I think this is my 700th GC cache. Thanks -e^ip for the cache. Only a couple to go now.

Found by Bob at 1520

I was about to give this up as a dnf - I was sure it should have been someplace else - but a final check located it .

Thanks -e^ip

I would have killed for parks like this setup when I was growing up, well better late than never. Nice multi and an unexpected hide (expected it to be somewhere different).
Thanks, Robmc.

Found at 11:24am. Accompanied by Chewinprincles and Robmc.
We decided to go out caching for the whole day and this is the 9th find for the day.
Rob found this one, TNLN, Signed Log Thanx -e^ip....

This one was a bit harder to find and for a while we thought it might be MIA, but we found it eventually and on to the next. The logs been a bit wet here but thanks to the warm weather its not too bad now.
Thanks

Quick easy find but VERY WET. Just managed to write my name.Thanks.

Found 15:20, a nice easy find.

TNLN, thanks -e^ip.

Unlike the playground at the previous cache, this playground was bustling with school kids on holiday. I grabbed the required information and headed to GZ. I thought I knew where it would be hidden and looked all over. No luck. Found it where I didn't think it would be. Thanks for the cache.

Found @ 10:15pm

Nice easy multi and find. Noted number.

Dear -e^ip,

We found your cache today at 11:50am as the fourth of nine on our Kath & Kim tour. A familiar place via another now departed cache that used to live only 10m away. My favourite hide of the set by far. We also zipped back to get the clue from the other cache nearby that we had previously found. Thanks for the cache.

Kind Regards,

D & S B-A

Found at 1.40PM on a nice sundays afternoon of caching.
6th of 13 for the day.

Nice to see the young kids on their skate boards here, I wish these were around when I was small. After working out the simple maths I found that this cache was about 10 metres out. Or it may have been me, but a 5 minute search and I found this sneaky little one.. Thanks for the cache from M.B

9.45pm
Found by Roma and Max.
Even though it was dark on arrival we had the feeling we had been here not that long ago, searching for a nearby cache. Driving past next day we realised we had been correct.
Travelling in our mobile home we also took time out for an evening meal.
Once again we collected the clue LNSL.
Thanks one more time –e^ip.
Romax.

Found by edmil and maddie. This was our second visit to the area. we had the final coords from the previous visit so knew the vicinity of the search. Had the cache in hand after a short search. Thanks for the series.

Daddy and I found the clues and Daddy found the cache after using his phone to ask for help.

Found by caughtatwork at 1:18
Found the clues easily with GabGab. The cache proved a little harder to find and after about 10 minutes (and running out of places to look) a quick call to the help line revealed the cache in a place we had searched, but apparently not close enough.
We did find lots of snails though.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks -e^ip.

Given issues with the accuracy of the co-ords of GCW4D3, decided not to rely too heavily on the GZ co-ords, took a best guess & walked up to it.

Another find for the Rebel Alliance. L.L.T.R.A

Tenth of fifteen finds for the day in company with acts2youthgroup. There were two young blokes at the skate park when we arrived, but one of them was just leaving. We gathered the info and constructed the final coordinates. The remaining skateboarder didn't follow us to GZ. It's a pity that he didn't, because he could have helped us find it. We looked in obvious spots and not-so-obvious spots, and finally came up with it at 1145. There wasn't anything to exchange, so I just signed the log. Thanks to -e^ip for the cache.

Eleventh of eighteen finds for the day in company with Dak Emu. The information was gathered and we headed for GZ, I don’t think any skater boys wanted to follow us. The cache took us some time to find. Thanks.

I was at & about early this morning which proved an ideal opportunity to grab this cache, Started it last week but some muggles had taken up residence near gz, not so at 7.15am
Thanks for the cache e^ip

Took a wee while to find this one.

A good time to visit on a rainy Sunday. No skate boarders around. Found at 12:30.

Signed log.

Thanks to e^ip for this series of caches so close to home.
