Logs for Fire Resistant Antelopes 

We found this cache at 5:15pm. We crawled around, over, under and through the rocks whilst avoiding all the dangers. The cache was easily found using the extra hints given.

Thanks for the cache! 

This was a hardcore cache! We first set out to find this on the morning of Friday the 20th. It was stinking hot as we left our tents. On the way through the campsite I saw a snake on the bonnet of a car. It took me a moment to realise it was only a rubber toy. We crossed the river and headed up the path. Turning around a corner again I saw what appeared to be a snake, this time only about three metres from my sandled feet. A quick reality check, aided by the snake raising its head to face me caused me to stop dead. Raising my arms to my sides, I said 'back off, back off' and prevented my companions from passing me. We retreated back a few steps and allowed the snake to slither off into the bushes. This didn't deter us from getting to the vicintiy of the cache, but bush bashing didn't seem like a sensible activity at that time.

We returned to the spot a couple of days later from the other direction. At the site we had to frighten off a young couple so we could geocache in peace.

Put In: Small World Cup Rugby 2003 Foam Football
Took Out: Badge

Thanks for the cache! 

Finally found this cache on the Saturday evening! The clues at the first waypoint were collected two days earlier. An SMS to friends in Melbourne supplied us with the information we required to figure out the location of GZ. It was a beautiful secluded spot! 

Finally found this cache on the third attempt.
Attempt 1: Incorrect clues given verbally by teamkittens threw us off the track.
Attempt 2: Rain + lack of raincaot cut the search short
Attempt 3: teamkittens showed us the way there!
Thanks!!!
 

Went for a quick cache find with teamkittens in the afternoon. The first spot with the nice view was easy to find. Lunch was from the noodles place up the road was eaten there. However we had some problems with the math and ended up at a golf course 1.5km away. Worked it out a different way and found ourselves on track for the second location. The cache itself was easy after that. Nice hiding spot in a quiet (at the time anyway) location.
 

It was a fine Summer's day when we ventured out in search of this cache. After driving past the road that appeared to be marked "Private Property" we backtracked to the remote sidestreet and surveyed it closer. Perhaps the 38 prior visits to the cache had annoyed the locals... Anyway, we drove down this street whilst taking happy snaps of the local houses. Inconspicuously as ever, we all go out of the car and walked off in search of the cache. Being careful to avoid snakes, we located the cache successfully. It was smelly, wet and held very little treasure. The sun was burning our skin as we put a wallet into the bucket and retrieved a mysterious CD.

Thanks for a fun cache Mr Coffee!
 

On the drive to the carpark we passed Portsea camp (not sure of its real name), everyone seemed to remember going there at different stages of their lives. The GPS pointed us in the right direction. Crawling into the bushes off the path, we realised it must be halfway down the cliff towards the water. There was also a 'rarely used path' down there. After a few moments searching, we located the overgrown entrance to the path. The cache itself was found at the base of the tree. Inside we found exciting treasure. The batteries and the torch were combined -- to become a working flashlight! We placed 3 rolls of sticky tape into the cache. On the way out we found a pleasant lookout. Whilst waiting there at 6:30pm on the sunny Friday afternoon we saw:
- Lindsey Fox arrive home on a chopper
- A pack of dolphins swim past us into the bay
- The Sorrento-Queenscliffe ferry pass by

Thanks for a fun cache,

Knowing the area well, we knew exactly where the cache would be hidden. Declining the opportunity to take the expensive public transport option, we wound our way up the hill in our car. The cache was easily found by the description given. We took the 2-in-1 door alarm and placed an exciting pink maze toy into the large bucket. After this we had a discussion about geocache dating...
 

Now onto our third cache of the day, we wearily drove to Sorrento Back Beach. Of course this wasn't at all close to the cache so we drove around in search of a closer carpark. The best we could do was about an equal distance from the cache as the original carpark. *sigh* This would require a long stroll. Not to worry, our hardened group crawled through the sand dunes to the spot indicated by the gps. We felt like we were reliving a beach invasion - minus the bullets, bombs and random death. After several minutes of searching, the cache was located exactly where the GPS said it would be, behind the pretty bush. After taking the 4 rolls of sticky tape, we placed the 2-in-1 door alarm.

Cheers,
Fire Resistant Antelopes

On a stinking hot day we thought we would spend a couple of minutes looking for a simple cache. How wrong we were. After parking in the wrong place, we left the car without hats, sunscreen, water, the clue sheet and sunnies. This would have been alright, except we walked hundreds of metres circling the cache through the park. Eventually when we reached the vicinity, we realised we would have to walk though the snake infested undergrowth. Being brave, I led the group into the area. After climbing over fallen trees and through thick scrub we found the cache. I was being sunburnt like crazy as we hurriedly logged our visit -- I think we forgot to actually sign our entry. Anyway, we left a 5 Euro Amsterdam phone card (still valid!) and took the wallet (unfortunately empty).

Thanks for the cache!

 

Wasn't hard to find. We left a Tom Green quote and took the following:

"Space isn't remote at all. It's only an hour's drive away if your car could go straight upwards."

This was our first geocache ever! We parked on the wrong side of the freeway, not to worry there was a pedestrian bridge nearby. One of our team members knows the spot well having spent many an afternoon on the banks of the lake yabbying and knocking back some beers. The cache wasn't too hard to find, just had to keep our eyes open for those pesky passers by. Looking through the logbook we became jealous of teams with stamps! We left a comb and took the padlock.

Thanks for a great cache!
