Description
A small lock-n-lock container.
Lillydale Lake is a man made lake in Lilydale, about 45 kilometres east of Melbourne. It is a beautiful place where many people can go for a paddle, ride there bikes and have picnics and barbeques.
The lake was built to protect the township of Lilydale from flooding after big storms. Construction began in May 1988 and was completed in June 1990. It was officially opened on July 5th 1991. The total cost of building Lillydale Lake was around 2 million dollars.
There are some beautiful wetland areas around the lake to visit with many species of birds to be seen. The most common sightings are ducks, parrots, cockatoos and owls.
This cache is being placed on the day we held my son's 2nd birthday party at the lake.
Initial contents include: Thomas the Tank Engine, plastic giraffe, plastic racing car, plastic spinning top, Corona pin & a squishy face.

Found by Team_Ninja 8.5.10. It was just after sunset so we had to grab the torch to find this one. Even though it was dark there were still muggles around so we had to be careful. We found the sneaky cache after a few minutes of searching. The outside was wet but thankfully the inside was dry, although the log book smelt a bit funky.

Found @ 19:30 in the company of the geowife and daughter (emeraldflame). We thought we would take advantage of the almost complete lack of muggles to have a go at finding this one. The only real interruption was a rat scurrying for cover when we got too close to it.
It took a while but eventually the cache gave itself up - making this our second GCA find.

found @ 19:30 with mum and dad (ross47)
everytime we've been past, there has been too many muggles about. Finally, as we came around the corner, there was no-one to be seen.

Attempted this cache today..... SO many muggle children around in the payground and muggle adults sitting near by on the benches and both big and little muggles lining up for icecreams at the van... Wisely decided not nab this one, instead lining up for an icecream =oP~~
Trip was not totally wasted =oP

This was my first cache that I have found in Victoria. I am having a holiday down in Melbourne with my relatives. I am staying with my cousiens, Auntie and Uncle down in the Lilydale Academy. This was my fourth day with them. It was looking to be a nice day so we decided to go for a walk around the lake. I then remebered that there was 3 geocaches around the lake. So we found this one before we went walking. And skipped the other two for another day. It was fairly easy finding the cache. But there was alot of muggles that day so we had to be stealth. A nice conainer but it was soaking wet in side and In could barely right on the log book. But we had a very nice walk around the lake.

After a disappointing could not look at a nearby cache, this one was an easy find and far enough from the crowd. Cache was very wet inside so I emptied the water and replaced upside down in the hope that that will prevent water getting in. TFTC.

Another GCA cache found and logged. This one was tricky due to the many muggles on the nearby playground. I was able to grab the cache unseen however. Cache was full of dirty brown water, logbook was damp but was still able to be written into. TNLN

I found this cache with caughtatwork today. He found this cache today and then my big sister J and I went to the playground while caughtatwork wrote in the log. I loved the playground and I really liked the big spiders web. I had a great time at this playground today. Thank you DelBoy1203.

We came out to this side of town from the very west of Melbourne today just to grab the 5 Red Earths and this GCA cache. Always a pleasure to see some other GCA caches coming up on the radar.
As Geodes mentioned, this cache is so very, very close to a former cache in this area. Only about 2m from my recollection.
That particular container ws gnawed at by furry animals, so you may need to keep and eye on this one just to make sure it doesn't get eaten. As per Geodes' comments, the cache container is not waterproof and I had to empty some more water out of it today even though I don't think it has rained overnight.
Condensation is a problem with these types of containers and as they flex in and out with the change in temperatures, small amounts of moisture get in and over time will cause the swaps to get all icky.
Nevertheless once the cache was found the two girsl screamed off for the playground while I did the logging. We spent another 15 minutes or so playing on the playground. It's certainly the right ace to entertain kids, but it's also so high in muggles, so future finders may end up being seen despite their stealth tactics.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks DelBoy1203. It's good to find another 2 GCA caches. Especially ones I haven't hidden myself
Thank you for supporting the site.

When I saw this one - and checked the map to see where it was, memories started flooding back - there was once a short series of caches around Lilydale Lake (the "Ultimate" series of 5 caches) which were so absolutely exposed to muggle view that they were the curse of many cachers. They were some of the earliest caches I did and I still have strong memories of them (the "Cashin's Mill" one was quite an amazing hide in its 1st incarnation) and it looked as though this one was going to be placed very close to where the 1st one in the series had been. As it turns out, it is hidden on the same object, although in a slightly different position and the deja vu was almost overwhelming
. This area is virtually never free of muggles, even on lousy days in the middle of winter, but today wasn't too bad and, under cover of taking off my pack, helmet, gloves, jacket, etc and fumbling through them as if looking for something, I was able to be (hopefully) surreptitious in my search and was able to locate the cache fairly easily. I was surprised that it's quite a big one for such a position and, unfortunately, it had quite a bit of water in it. I emptied it out, and the log book is fine in its ziplock bag, but I think that container is just not waterproof.

Thanks again Team RooBok (or DellBoy1203) - it's a nicely hidden cache and should be fairly safe there unless muggles decide to see what people are looking for.
PS Happy Birthday to Joshua
PPS The coords for this one are S37° 45.927' E145° 21.483' and the coords for the old "Ultimate #1" were S37° 45.928' E145° 21.483' - quite a coincidence!!!
