Cache had been put back in wrong spot. Still found it and put it back in the right spot. Beautiful Spot!
TFTC! There was so many kangaroos nearby. We were so scared!! snakes in Australia beware but also be chill. XX
Having a few days on the Peninsula so searched out some caches. Heading back towards Rosebud after some time in Flinders, I swung in here. A short walk to GZ, and a quick find of the cache. All in good condition. No Skippys to be seen on this occasion. TFTC piggysue
This was our first find after a break for the last few years due to illness and life becoming hectic. Loved this find at one of our favourite walkswe call this kangaroo place. After an easy find, we enjoyed the view and he roos put on their usual display TFTC
Found it! Even as wy found Some Kangaroos and a snake at the kangaroo look-out! And I found a trackable so thanks from the Netherlands.
Nice quick find at the end of a long day's trek around the area. All in good condition and well tucked away. TFTC.
Whilst in the area, we thought we'd give this one a check as its guardians and whathaveyou!Everything is in fine condition here - basically the same as we left it almost two years ago, save for some more names in the logbook and the trackable which is safely within.Plenty of kangaroos out and about today in what continues to be one of the peninsula's (bizarrely) best kept secrets! - B3
Easy walking track and lots of evidence of the kangas although didnt see any! Found the container fairly easily.
Found this one nice and quickly after a few disappointing catches it was nice to get this one saw some cute little kangaroos as well one even had a Joey
Thanks piggysue. Quick find and in an awesome park. Happy end of financial year. Giddy up
Chasing the golden oldies what a view. I enjoyed the view so much that after finding and signing this cache, I decided to keep walking to grab the other caches in this vicinity. Took me just under 4 hours .
Nice easy little one, just off the beaten track, wouldn't know most of these reserves were here with out a cache. Tftc
I have been Geocaching for the last year as part of team Dromaniax. We have enjoyed the Geocaching caching around a lot of Victoria in that time. From our first trip up to the Murray River, the next trip to Lake Eildon and the area around Buxton, an epic trip to the Little Desert to attack the This is SA series, then a great trip with our father to the High Country in Victoria, a trip to the Mornington Peninsula and a trip to the Albury-Hume Reservoir area.
I finally decided to set up my own account and am claiming all the caches I have found as part of Dromaniax.
Thank you for this Traditional cache piggysue for placing this cache and to the Cache Guardian DumberThanRocks for maintaining it for our pleasure

Arrived to a deserted carpark and headed off along the track, while on the lookout for kangaroos, but the only ones hopping today was us as we made our way to GZ.
Found the cache on the ground, so after the signing duties were completed, we replaced the cache as per the hint.
Would have loved to explore more of this area, but we still had another cache on the agenda and time was getting away from us. Definitely next time we are in the area.

Quickly found in this peaceful location just before sunset. Plenty of kangaroo's hopping about.
A trip to check out all the awesome places in eastern Victoria. TFTC.
A quick don't into this national park as the weather isn't great.

Currently holidaying on the Mornington Peninsula and the weather hasn't improved at all. After more rain this morning we decided to head out for a drive this afternoon and stopped in here to find this cache between showers. Mrs. Pooky made a quick easy find as the cache was quite exposed. After locating the cache, we wandered around to the Kangaroo viewing area and didn't have to go too far before seeing lots of Kangaroos, some up close and others in the distance. TFTC and bringing us to this location. We have been visiting the Peninsula for many years and didn't know this area existed. TNLN.
Nice quick tour today for geocaching and especially for this cache

In the area for work and thought I better get some geocaches while here. Time to fix some previous DNFs and then a few others in the area.
Drove past this location the first time and there was a car here. However an hour later when I turned in to park it had gone. It had started raining again lightly, which meant I had the entire place to myself.
Nice quick find with good coordinates.
Thanks for the cache Piggy Sue

Mr Dromaniax's and his muggle brother were off for a couple of days of camping and geocaching on the Mornington Peninsula.
After a great nights caching last night, getting back to camp around 1am, we decided to head off early and grab a few caches before muggle brother's appointment.
The ground on the Mornington is wet. Very wet. It seems that there has been sufficient rain this year that the ground is holding the maximum amount of water it can and when you have additional rain it either sits on the surface or starts moving down hill.
A very quick find was made as the cache was visible from the track.
The cache is in excellent condition and we carefully placed it in the same spot, but so it wasn't visible from the track.

On a weekend away in this area and enjoying filling holes in our Ausmer challenge.
Glad to find this old timer today.

Out and about on this wonderful winters morning when driving past stopped to collect this quick hide, thanks for placing this cache
A beautiful part of the world that I used to frequent as a young bloke and it was fantastic to be back here on the hunt. We made the sunset stroll from the carpark to GZ and hit the target pretty quickly. Love it down here! Tftc.
On my previous visit, Parks people were working and it wasn’t possible to search. Today I had this wonderful place to myself, except for the kangaroos lazing around. The cache was quickly found.. although the most obvious geo trail was just for decoration but the cache was close by .. Thanks DumberThanRocks for keeping this cache in play.
My visit to the Peninsula was triggered by a plan to find the ** Double Calendar Challenge ** cache for my 3,500th find. With that task complete and still plenty of time left in the day, I was now stopping for a variety of caches as I started my way back to Melbourne. Having come "up close and personal" with one of our hopping friends earlier in the day, I wasn't disappointed that there were none to be seen this afternoon.
Thanks **DumberThanRocks** for keeping **piggysue's** cache going.

Today it was off to the Mornington Peninsula. After watching my niece at her swimming lessons (such a little fish now!), it was a 2hr dash down south to make it to the event and then explore numerous caches in the area.
This was a nice quick find late in the afternoon.
Thanks piggysue for placing this gamepiece in the wild for us to find.

Maintenance has been performed on behalf of the CO.
The cache has been replaced with a 180ml Sistema and new logbook as the old container had its lid cracked open with the contents largely in disrepair.
Though I'm sure everyone will be overjoyed to hear that the (indestructable?) silver Black Panter Ooshie survived without damage and has been relocated to the new container.
Same beautiful location and hiding place as before, but no kangaroo sightings today.
Bunjil has been notified of the update here, good luck to all future seekers.

Hi there %CO%,
It looks like this cache might need some attention, as one or more seekers have indicated there is an issue with the placement. The cache has been temporarily disabled, so as to remove it from search listings and discourage people from visiting this location until the issues/s with this cache can be addressed.
**You do need to respond in some way within 14 days, so others know you are on top of it, as well as indicating exactly what is happening with this placement - please don't let a lack of communication scuttle this listing.**
#What should you do now:-#
You have a number of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:-
- **Check On The Cache:-** Visit the cache and repair and/or replace or do whatever else is needed, post an [**Owner Maintenance log**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) indicating the cache has been checked and [**ENABLE your cache.**](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ) Then sit back and wait for the logs of praise to roll in.
- **Place A Write Note Log::-** Reviewers don't have a crystal ball, so without your note on the cache page explaining that the site works are on-going, or you have been in hospital, or the area is in flood, they can't tell what is going on with the cache.
So please just post a note to the page (within 14 days) and when a Reviewer next looks at the listing, all will be fine for a little bit longer.
**Be sure to indicate the actual date that you expect to have it fixed so that everyone knows you are on top of it. If you have a long term unavailable cache (where you don't have an actual date) please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 4 to 6 weeks, so as to keep everyone up to speed.**
- **Adopt/Archive:-** If you don't plan on fixing it then you could consider passing it on to another geocacher by asking them to [**Adopt it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=54) or alternatively, you need to [**Archive it,**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=56) so it is removed from searches and someone else can have the spot. Don't forget to remove any remnants of your previously enjoyed cache too.
You might wonder what happens if you don't pick one of those. Well, if nothing happens, then a few weeks from today, when a Reviewer next looks at the cache page, it is likely that they will, unfortunately, have to de-list (Archive) on the basis that it has been abandoned.
Honestly, I'd rather you decide so please do something before then. Please don't send me an email but instead follow the information/advice posted above.
**JUST A TIP:-** Have you checked out the new Geocaching Dash Board designed to assist a Cache Owner in managing the caches they own? Have a read about it [**HERE.**](https://www.geocaching.com/blog/2020/07/welcome-to-the-cache-owner-dashboard/?newsletter=PM) You will find your very own dash board [**HERE**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/owner?utm_source=geocaching&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=COD)

I was driving up towards Cape Schanck and decided to make the small detour towards this cache. No kangaroos were evident at the view point today unfortunately, but thanks to the rain there was also a lack of people! Somehow I managed to miss the cache on my first pass but then soon found it on my way back through. TFTC!
