I accompanied LeanneH on this find, and dropped off Bruce the Penguin TB, unfortunately I hadn't read it's mission until after I placed it here.. he now has a new place to hibernate in chilly Upper Ferntree Gully..  

28th

I must have been following Dusty02 today as this was the second cache that both of us had been to.

Nice area, I sat and listened to all the birds in close by to the cache.

TFTC, Nice easy find; when Saulman1010 and i walked the right way. The rain is bucketing down and i feel like a wet dog; but soon had the cache in hand.

Grabbed this cache on a cold, wet rainy day in Melbourne with co-pilot Hazey1.
Now its really raining!
Dashed out to grab a few on possibly my only caching day for the week

Nice find picked up TB Zodiac Aquarius .. TFTC

 

5th

Out a bit earlier with Anne this morning, we found this cache @ 09:11hrs.
I thought it a bit strange to put a cache in such an unattractive place at first and then I found that I had approached it from completely the wrong side and realised that it is in such a very nice place. The park yet again is one that I had no idea it existed. I think this would have to be the best time of day to do a walk like this too.
What a shame the T.B. seems to have gone missing ... I was hoping to at least discover it this morning and it hasn't been logged.

Took nothing, Left Traveling Zodiac Aquarius

Nice to finally walk around this park.. nice cache!

21st

Located this one at 1311hrs while on a run with Tank47 - team effort with Peter making the find. A pleasant walk through an impressive stand of native kangaroo grass. Took a slinky and left a Hacky sack (footbag). Thanks dajjct for the great location.
 

21st

Found at 1311 hrs with KI Bug, an easy find, tried a while ago but the wet grass and unsuitable footwear decided to wait for a dry day.
The log book was full, had a spare with me so left it there along with a Heineken Lanyard. TFTC Dajjct.
 

21st

Can we go home yet? My batteries are dead & I think my parents are tragic. oh, we found it, excellent.
 

21st

Duelling Gps's, mine said this way and his said something completely different. Looked up the clue before my batteries died, thank goodness! Gave up on his Gps & started looking around the environment. After checking a few likely suspects, bingo! Yay! And with that EB Nano sighed and said' "Can we go home!" Left the "Walk" geocoin as it seemed appropriate after we'd walked in ever decreasing circles. TFTC.

Short walk, but hard on the hot day. This place was butterfly city - must have seen a thousand. But grass seeds were the problem - will be picking them out of our socks for weeks. Took kangaroo, left wishing stones. TFTC
 

7th

Soddin' flies! That'll teach me for forgetting the fly repellent. Zipped in to pick up the cache (and a bazillion flies as well) and didn't do much exploring (thanx to the flies) but will need to come back and check out the area more thoroughly (armed with fly net and repellent!)

Did I mention the flies . . . . .?

Easy find on my way to Aldi. Still an awful lot of lang and very dry grass in this park. Hope it lasts the summer without a fire.
 

11th

This was my third cache for the day.
The cache was easy for find, but I was expecting it to be near the track, but insead I found myself walking through long grass to get there.

9th

We did this cache on the way home from a day caching in the Dandenong Ranges. We were pretty tired but did enjoy the walk. Didn't like walking through the grass though, kept thinking about snakes. No Kangaroos spotted, although we were looking out for them. Good size cache so dropped in Fur Paw TB. Also left a decorated eraser for good measure. TFTC.
 

8th

found
 

7th

Looks like no-one's visited this cache for a while, or in fact anything around it. The grass is basically waiting for this summer's bushfires to roll through - even in mid-winter, it's very dry and doesn't look like it'd take much to set it alight.

A few burned out logs around GZ give the impression that fires aren't uncommon here. The blackberries are few and far between right now, which probably makes it a good time to visit.

1094. Lots of long grass on the way to this cache. The possibilities for the area are many but will they be acted upon.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Found at 1410hrs on a pleasant afternoon and in perfect daylight - not like last cachers who found it in the dark!!! Explains finding the pen and a Indonesian Rupiah coin on the ground next to GZ!!! TNLN TFTC
 

12th

Visited at 18:45
Did this one in the dark. Spiders = no problem.
Snakes = no problem. Maniacs with chain saws = no problem. Blackberries by torchlight & in waist high grass, not again...
Funny thing happened when we got to the cache & opened it, one of our caching cards was already in there (the one from our 10th cache)?!
TNLNSL TFTC, find #194 for Echo & Spice.
 

9th

Was an ok walk apart from the grass sead that were being lodged in my socks. I wouldn't call it a small container. Took a coin 100Rp left a coin 10Cents. On my return to my car found I had lost the coin. Where???? maybe in the long grass.
TFTC
 

26th

Found at 1420. Stopped by to grab this one in between completing 'The 13th Cache'. On the walk to GZ, I was praying that there were no snakes in the long grass, which I'm glad to say now, that there wasn't.

Parked at the same gate as kinglee. We then wandered in to find the cache still in its hiding place. TNLN. SL at 3:30pm. TFTC!
 

10th

Count #0059 found at 1230hrs.

Found a side gate 200m away and decided to park there and walk the rest of the way. Celes took a nap in the car while I took 30mins to complete this cache. A warm day and a nice walk in a bushland and no muggle in sight.

3rd

Found on a muggy day coming back from purchasing a GPS (I'd been borrowing one for the last few months). What better way to try it out than to find a cache with it. Coords were spot on. My whole life I've been past this place yet never knew it existed. Thanks for introducing me to another lovely part of the area. TNLN
 

27th

Found this one nicely using only the coordinates and without reading any description... Nice Place. I di not have time to look around and must return sometime to explore the rest of the park. ... Took nothing and left nothing but a log !!!
 

31st

Nice view at night from where we parked. A short stroll took us to the cache (via a few blackberries ). I had driven past here but never stopped in to see what was behind the fence.
Thanks, Robmc.
 

31st

Found just on dark and the prterequisite stroll through the grass and blackberries which are starting to get a hold in places here.
Thanks indeed.
 

21st

Found after a nice walk to GZ. Had to hurry with the rain threatening. A lovely spot, I'll have to remember it for the MTB. Thanks for a scenic walk and fun cache.
Took: pen

20th

Found today in the horrible weather - raining, hot and humid. Still, provided a nice bit of a diversion to the weather on a sat afternoon. Really nice area to go for do a bit of a walk through. There were some nice blackberries around which we munched on - look out for them, except the branches cut up my leg a bit (see picture)

Took a first time cacher with us who wasn't the one to find the cache, and I didn't find it, so that only left chubbybunny. Damn it! Our friend Tama had a great time and is looking forward to the next caches.

Thanks dajjct!
 

18th

An easy find at 7.30am in the company of Oenze. Enjoyable walk to cache site where cache was quickly located and logged. TNLN thanks.

Managed to avoid walking down into the quarry and then found the good hide without any drama. TNLN thanks dajjct for the cache and walk.

18th

Found @ 16:15. I thought it was a nice day for a walk in the bush. Located the cache and was in the middle of signing the log when a big black cloud came over and it started to rain. Move on out of there a bit quicker than I had planned to. Will have to visit again with the rest of the mob some day. In Red keyring out Spoon.

Nice wander throught the grass, hope the nearby blackberries are OK to eat. I took a bagfull away.

5th

After getting an email form the owners of a TB that has been sitting here for some time I thought there may be a good explaination for this so I went to investigate. On the way there I was following Mr Coffee for 5 - 7 Km and wondered if he was going there too. He wasn't as he continued on down Lysterfield rd. TB was found safe in the [u]bottom[/u] of the swaps bag[b)]. It has been removed and is now on the go again.
As I was opening the cache the fire siren sounded and I thought of dajjct.  

4th

We found this cache at 10:15 during our Return to Geocaching - 2006.
We had not read the cache notes and parked on the main road instead. This meant we walked halfway down the hill before finding a track across and then another track up to nearer the cache.

TNLN - Thanks dajjct for this cache.

 

26th

Found by Bob at 09:55

After several weeks with little caching activity, I needed to cut loose a bit and get some exercise so I thought a few of the caches along this road mught just do the trick. A nice bit of bushland on a beautiful Boxing Day morning and an easy find were a great start to the day.

TNLN

Thanks dajjct
 

24th

After a walk through the grass the GPS wasn't doing very well near GZ for some reason so I put it away and looked where I first spied from afar and there it was.
TNLNSL
I have been here before the turn of the century and wondered if it was a park or what. Well now I know.
Also took a look at the CFA web site some time back - eeck!

9th

Found @ 1633

I never knew this was here. I ignored the posted parking and instead parked about 200m from GZ. Fought my way through the blackberries, (tripped on one, be careful!) to GZ, where cache was in hand quickly.
Left: TB The Best Ever.
Took: TB Fluffy Goes.... Travelling.
Nice cache, thanks dajjct.
 

29th

First of eight finds on part one of my 'Clean up the Dandenongs' campaign. I ignored the advice about parking 600m away from the entry point, but parked near the entrance gate and hoofed it in the last 200m. It was an GAFF1 find at 0930, and my day's caching was off to a good start (it was to go off the rails shortly after, but that story is told in other logs [B)]).

Although it's a good-sized cache, the opening is relatively small, and I had a time getting the contents out and back in again. I left the Fluffy TB here to continue her travels.

IN: Two yellow highlighters
OUT: Two key rings
 

27th

Thanks dajjct ,good size cache ,we were amazed at where the car crashed , how far it went.We took a key chain and left piglet and a 2 pack of pens !
 

27th

I was out caching alone (the other two were working) for the afternoon and thought that I would grab this one on the way home from Mt Dandenong . As I pulled up I saw another car and wondered to myself if I might encounter another cacher. The GPSr had me all over the place so I took an indirect route to the cache. I looked up through the trees and spotted Tickford. It was great to have a chat whilst filling in the log , no swaps were made as I had left the bag at home which was a shame as this is a very big small container and the TB would have fitted in
Thanks Dajjct
 

27th

a nice easy cache and a nice little stroll. gps was spot on it was saying 1.14 meters away just as i had finished logging my vist at GZ i saw someone walking near by so i quickly put the cache back where i had found it and started to walk away until i heard someone yell out Tickford and i looked up and that person looked very familiar it was one half of TEAM CRACKERS this was only the second person i have ran into while on my geo adventures which ads a little more excitement to the find .
thanks dajjct for this cache
 

24th

Found by Mary & David at 1810. Not much daylight left, so we too parked close to the cache. Found with no problems and we enjoyed the short walk and the views along the way. We had with us that compared in value with the cache contents, so TNLN. Our thanks to dajjct.
 

24th

I parked nearby and enjoyed the short walk to the cache. No problems finding the cache - the GPS pointed straight at it. No exchange was made. I've driven by several times without taking any notice. Thanks for the cache and for introducing me to this area.
 

22nd

Found at 4.00pm as a GAFF2 (I inadvertantly saw Nutcaches log). Parked a lot closer than the designated car park, so it was just an easy 150 metre walk to the cache. The tracks sure do tell a story already. Saw the burnt grass and logs along the way - did the car make it all the way to there from the road to crash?? Thanks dajjct Took: Square Aus key ring, Left: Kangaroo.
 

20th

Sometimes I don't know how I miss a cache close to home when it is released, however this was an enjoyable start to the day and worth the stroll.
Arriving at the GZ all four of the coffee clan made a bee-line for the cache so we will say I found it seeing I am writing the log,
Many thanks dajjct for the cache and its interesting history of the area (The bushfires of 82-83 was amazing too).
TNLN.
Regards Mr.Coffee and the "Mine, MIne, I found it" Clan.

 

19th

Found after work today. Parked at the posted waypoint and followed the instructions only to find I could have parked a little more than 100m from the cache, however, the walk was good even though it was drizzling rain. Co-ords spot on and easily found. TNLN, didn't have time to check out the quarry though I would have liked to, maybe another day.
 

15th

Found at 8:30pm. Nothing on TV and a very close cache - off for a spot of night caching I think. A beautiful and clear night. Great views both from the drive up and from the spot we parked the car. We can see our house from here (at a distance). Very hard to sight the correct path in, in the dark. Quite prickly if you don't watch out. Thanks dajjct from D & S B-A. We have been keeping an eye on this park for a while.
 

15th

Wow I thought I was a keen cachers, but I did not get the FTF, I better lift my game.
I droped of a TB at the cache it kind of fitted in with the keyrings.
Thanks
 

15th

Yup my second FTF. Couldn't sleep so thought I would check out GC.com and see if there were any new caches listed. Lo and behold this one appeared. Even though it was rather dark I had the find in hand in no time. Took a key ring left a Hot Wheels car. Took the TB Brutus
