Just logging my personal name tag to track my personal distance traveled.

time to let this one go...there's nothing I can do with that camera

Have a new cache ready to go in...however it is vastly different in construction to the previous one and I have to wait for the area of placement to dry out a little so that it can be placed properly (think adhesive!)

someone has done maintenance on the location and looks like the cache has gone with it
will replace in a nearby location...maybe I'll even archive and re-list.

Attempted to locate this cache on 23 January around 3pm. Even with the expert guidance and support of 38 degrees south (who was kindly helping me with 1st find) and had located this cache previously ... nothing there! As per previous log ... this cache appears to be missing.

Accompanied 353degNth to a DNF on this one...
GZ has been cleaned up since my last visit.
Regards, 38degsouth.

Shame i couldn't locate this one. Phoned a couple of previous finders, and even with specific advice was not able to locate the hide. It is possible it is gone.

Didn't have long to find it and it was quite busy. Try again another time

On route to a geobuddies place, I stopped past to see if I could find the cache.
It was located exposed on the ground, so I returned it to where I thought it would go, hopefully its correct.
Thanks BackPAQer for this cache.

Found with Scootty V and it was his first find

Cool one, thanks, Team BAPHA enjoyed this. No muggles that day.

#122 - We drove there around 6:30pm and I reckon it was the perfect time. There were still some cars parked, but we saw only one muggle. We had thought that it would take forever to find the cache, but no, it was in hand in no time. woohoo! Very happy!
TFTC!

Easy find. TFTC!!!

15.50pm.I was on a long holiday caching around melbourne when i came here for my last cache of my visit,cache find no 250 this time in australia,including 2 events,so this was a very good cache to finish off my trip,after this its back to tullamarine and off back to england where today 2.12.10 as i finish all my holiday logs its very cold and snowed in here.thank you for this good cache at this place in the zone.sltn.patandjeff=bones1.

just got a new travel bug and am using it to calculate distance

26 September 2010 13:40:00

I managed to park right next to the spot and could see it unfortunately from the car as it had been disturbed.

After a train passed I placed it back in a better angle.

TFTC

Quick find, much easier than expected! And nobody around on a Saturday at lunch time. TFTC

A quick find. The potential muggles had left their cars and were elsewhere making the locating and retrieval much easier. TFTC

TFTC

Ha ha tftc

Found @ 1900Hrs
Found on my way home from work & just before the train pulled in but no one got off the train so i had the place all to myself.

Spoted the hide as soon as i stafted to look it was quite exposed but is slighly better hidden now.
I like the idea of the hide i have seen this type of hide before.

Great little cache, found very quickly. Midday is a good time to check this one out.

Managed to mill around a blend in with the various footy supporters waiting for friends - cache was uncovered - when nobody was about - darted in, signed log and covered it up again. Thanks for a very cool cache.

Found on route to "wintergrillen" event cache as we pulled into the carpark noting where the cache was the car was used as cover whilst the cache was retrieved.
Thanks for the cache BackPAQer

A quick easy park and grab. The park along side the cache was free. Jibblets grabbed the container while I warmed up the pen. TFTC

Found @ 5.35pm #258.
Had to wait for the muggles going to the footy to clear to retrive this cache, when the train left I went in for the search and find, took the cache back to the car to sign the log and before I had replaced it, the muggles started arriving again for the next train, once that one left I was able to replace it.
TFTC.

A great drive by, on a cold and wet day. Parked right next to the Gz. TFTH...SL...TNLN

Nice drive by, set the maflits onto it without needing to leave the car.

Nice quick find on a run of caching today TFTC TNLN SL

Funny thing this. We arrived at the GZ with Geoson and friend and had a quick look, but there was a muggle parked close by, so I consulted the clue in order to expedite the find and soon had the cache in hand. We waited till the muggle had driven off then replaced the cache. On the way to the next cache, I was surprised to see the clue for the next (we were in a hurry by this time) was identical. Turns out I found the cache with the wrong hint !

Thanks BackPAQer - Nice hide.

rode in on the motorbike and found it without even hopping off nice hide in the open

great spot. tftc

Found just after a family of cachers - kept a discrete distance and tried to make them paranoid with shifty looks - bwah ha ha! Didn't log as forgot pen tftc

A late night visit after a day's conferencing at a nearby hotel. SL TFTC

So this was a little longer trip - I came with the bike from Elwood but I had a little stopover an Bunnings :surprise: By the time I arrived at the cachesite it was early afternoon and there weren't any muggles around

First find during an afternoon of geocaching. TFTC.

Start of a day Geocaching. Found, logged visit and put back just before the train arrived. This one is a great test of stealth in the middle of the day. Found with Jackam crew.

Found while on a caching day out - tftc tnln

Found at 1630

Quick find on a very wet day

Dipped personal geopatch

Timing is everything with this one, and I was lucky today!! Love the camo, too.

Thanks, BackPAQer.

Easy find, good spot!

Found it early in the morning, around 8:15. Great hiding place, I can see how it gets hard with a lot of muggles around!! TFTC!!

Fairly easy retreival at around 13:30

Cheers gordo

Today was a completely selfish "my time" day.
Tank full of fuel, nowhere to be till 5pm and NO KIDS.
(Curse school holidays!)
Number 1 of an even dozen for the day.
Nice quick cache - TFTC

Found at 15:28 on a 40km bike ride with my mate Daniel. I once wound up here on a day of geocaching on my bike, for the exact reason that it's the first station in zone 1 and I could get home on a single zone ticket (I didn't wanna do 40km that day ). Though I didn't have time to do the cache that day because there was a train due to depart in only minutes. That said, it was a rather quick find on Monday once the GPSr took us to the right spot. It's a nice station architecturally as well. Thanks BackPAQer.

After a lovely autumn afternoon spent at the Middle Brighton beach, we popped by here on our way home. Although the car park was full on Easter Monday there wasn't much human activity and I was able to snaffle the cache easily (it looks like only 10 minutes after jezarocks had been there).

It's a lovely little station - thanks BackPAQer for putting a cache here.

Found with draw four. I remember finding this one whilst dad sat in the car. Found late in the afternoon on the weekend. Forgot to log at the time. thanks backpaqer.

Found at around 4.45pm. Pulled up right alongside. Had to wait for a couple of trains to go through and for the area to clear. Nice simple find by Wild with me as the get away driver. SL. Thanks for this one.

28-02 2nd find of the day at 11:20 and 965th find in total.
Seems that we chose a perfect day to do this one, with the wind howling off the bay and the rain threatening there wasn't a possible watcher in sight.
Having read the cache description just before we arrived at GZ we were expecting to have to use all our stealth skills, but as it turned out we couldn't have got a closer parking spot which helped stay out of sight of the cameras. A nice hide.
(''\(OoO)/'') Thanks BackPAQer for the caching fun!

On the way to visit the my uncle - no problems this afternoon found with karen#2 - this marks #3 for today. Quite time of day no trains but lots of rubbish about gz

Found it at a quiet time late on Saturday arvo.

Drive by on a lazy Sunday evening with the geoteens whining about how they thought that cache in Middle Park was the last for the day. Something about homework they haven't done. Oh dear, their problem!

[This entry was edited by Earthbound Chief on Sunday, February 07, 2010 at 2:50:28 AM.]

But I thought the previous cache was the last one..., Oh a drive by, OK.

We now have a personal TB to track the km's travelled while caching so just dipping it in to catch up on the km's
Thanks - GJMMelb

A nice long driving lesson for Muggle Neice brought us out this way and Saturday lunch time made a perfect time to find the cache -
only about 10 cars in the carpark and no person in sight

A cache that fits right into its surroundings.

Actually this was my first find. Just so happened to be one at the station we were heading into the city from to start our very first day of Geocaching, which I may now be a lil addicted to... completed 6 in one day (5hours work!!)

Great camo! Deserted on a Saturday. Signed log.

Decided to hit this around the middle of the day to minimize muggle activity. Plan worked - no one around. TFTC

2676. The proximity of the ocean was the highlight of this quick find.

TFTC and the scope.

Found it mid Sunday afternoon. A few cars around - but no real muggle activity. Easy find today. Love the camo. TFTC !

Found by Facitman and the Facit-Family at 14:55
After a very pleasant but unsuccessful hunt at the nearby Brighton Beach Boxes it was good to grab a straight forward micro drive by. The cache was lying in the open when s-facit spotted it but after signing the log she identified the correct hiding spot and put it back in place. Visiting on a Saturday certainly decreased the muggle factor.

Thanks BackPAQer

Thanks for this cache. It was an easy find once you follow the Additional hints.

Easy find and then on to the next one

TNLN

Nice hide. No muggles today, just cars.

Nothing gets rid of muggles like rain, wind and hail - oh, and AFL Grand Finals. We managed to locate the cache just before it really started to pour. We had orginally plan to find the cache along the coast but unfortunately the weather was against. Alas, we only manage this one for the day. Thank for taking us there.

Found by caughtatwork at 11:15
Where on earth do you park at this location? I spent ages looking for parking and then thought bugger it, parked not quite legitimately, found the cache in the first place I checked and I was away before anyone noticed.
Wheeeeeeee!
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks BackPAQer for this cache today. It was evil enough to warrant the 4 stars, but I was thankfully lucky enough to make it a 1/1.

Quick drive by and nice work on the hide.

Must admit, we found the unusual construction of track in the nearby railway yard to hold more interest than GZ. It is worth the look. None the less, TNLN SL TFTH.

Easy find - very quiet location at 11am after all the muggles have commuted!

First for the day and after walking yesterday 20kms and today already doing 5kms to get to this one. I was already tired. Sat down and checked out the situation and felt around with my hands behind my back making a quick find using the clue. TFTC Great location. Great to see the ocean

great hide... your right about the cars.. waited for the 8.30 train to come and flush out all the car dwellers.. and moved in for the cache...

Found this one during a quick night cache run in the area. Third find of three for the night (at around 2:20am). At his time of night muggles were no problem. Parked right next to GZ and made a quick search for the cache. I had it in hand without even knowing it. TNLNSL. TFTC.

Found 8:20pm. Excellent hiding place. Had to watch out for a few muggles in cars but easy find . Filled in the log book.

Found at 1710, easy parking, easy find on the way home from work. Very fortunate I arrived at GZ between two trains, so whilst alot of cars in the carpark.....no muggles. TFTC.

Found while remaining hidden from the prying eye of the security camera. (:0)

Thanks for the Cache! Easy pick up and drop off in the middle of the day.

Clever hide. Always go past during peak hour. Finally we were driving past in the middle of the day and just had to go for the hunt. Love the security camera! TFTC.

Found this one at 14:50 having just luncheoned at the establishment on the other side of the line (and very nice it was too ). The car park was pretty full but there was no one around so the cache was in hand quite quickly.

TNLNSL, although our BYO pen geocoin had a visit to mark the occasion. Thanks BackPAQer.

Even on a Sunday this carpark was full - This made it easy to hide from the muggles, TFTC-BackPAQer

Found by PR&F on 5/7/09 @ 1.55pm in the company of Geohusband and The Empire.

14th find for the day. The carpark at the station was full, so we parked by the beach and walked to the station instead. No muggles at GZ made it for an easy retrieval and return as all the cars were empty with everyone busy at work! Thanks BackPAQer.

Yes tricky, especially after dark.

Found at 1240. Arriving to GZ, I was a little daunted by the amount of cars that were in the car park, but as it turned out, they provided the perfect cover for retrieving the cache.

Thanks.

Time to fit one more in today before picking up Mrs from work. Found this one straight away, which was just as well, as a train was pulling into the station full of people heading home. The area became VERY busy as I drove away!

Find # 84 @ 14:35 Car park is still full. Spent many a year driving red rattlers in and out of here. TNLNSL TFTC

Can things get any more suspicious than lurking around a train station car park?
Quickish find here.

This ended up being a quick and easy find, with nobody else around. I then scarpered back to my car before a parking inspector came along and saw that I hadn't bought a ticket.

Found at 2:41PM on the 14th of May by Ray and Maya. Easy drive-by find at this time of day, but we could see this would not be the case in peak times. TFTC. The Nomads

No 4star difficulty here tonight, a simple park and grab - though it'd certainly be a tough one to retrieve when the place is busy! SL at 10:20pm. Thanks BackPAQer for the cache – indeed an impressive (and effective) piece of camo. Regards 38degsouth.

Nice easy find, good hiding idea.

16th of 18 finds for the day @ 1415. Carpark was full but no muggles in sight so parked @ GZ for some extra cover. Found quickly but good camo.

TNLNSL TFTC

There was no parking anywhere so had to do stealthy 'carpark' searching while retrieving and replacing the cache. Glad I wasn't there to actually catch a train!

Nice hide, TFTC

Nice easy find today with no one around.
Thanks for bringing us here!

Found @1500, The carpark was full, but the carpark next to the cache was empty, so was able to quickly sign and replace cache.

TFTC

Yes, I can finally cross this one off the list! There was no-one around mid-morning on a Tuesday so I was able to quickly retrieve and sign the log. A good hide too, need something like this for a busy area. Thanks BackPAQer!

I was driving home from work tonight and arrived here at 7:10pm, remembering the cache had been reactivated just before I reached the lights on Beach Road, and in time to quickly deviate into the car park.
I had a special interest in finding this one as I was the last one to attempt it before it went into hibernation in 2007..
There was no activity going on nearby, so I parked right next to GZ and quickly found it, very well camouflaged, and returned to my car to sign the log. Unfortunately I discovered that I had no pen with me, however I did have my "gmj3191 cached here" stamp, so I left my mark and returned it to it's hiding place.
Thanks BackPAQer, good to see this one back on line.
