Graffiato Richmond, Victoria, Australia
By Biggles Bear on 23-Feb-12. Waypoint GC3D4A5

It's had a good life

Container needs to be changed. All the paper wet and mouldy inside. Didn’t write in it because of it.

My partner zerospooky found it, be careful the book has mould and the container had a little slug on it

Tftc! Container needs a bit of love

Checking terrain level certainly helps! Not one for the kids. Enjoyed the ride along here with the kids.

Cache spotted laying on the ground, manoeuvred over and under to sign and replace in its suspected correct hiding spot

Thanks Biggles Bear for Graffiato

#5304

Nice walk and urban exploring with the family.. cheers..

Found it visually but it might be outside of my comfort zone in terms of terrain levels. Thanks for the cache none the less!

Really well hidden TFTC

Found yesterday. Had a lot of fun with this cache

Another successful find this evening! A quickest find. Added another log as the one in the box was wet and mouldy.

Not this little black duck. Sorry!

What a weird and wacky cache! I did retrieve it but the log was mouldy and was to wet to sign TFTC!

My first geocache! To think I’ve walked over this spot hundreds of times none the wiser...

DNF Despite going bush

Looked over under above and all the angles too.
Shrugs.

Good day to be a troll

After a while managed to find this beauty. Was in the wrong general area for a while, then learnt we probably had to off the beaten track. Managed to site and grab this from the track we were on.

Having conquered the easy one of the bouldering walls nearby, I was ready for whatever terrain 3.0 this one was going throw at me. I wouldn't have scored well for style points, but I soon located the hide and got there. Thanks Biggles Bear

not so much a DNF as a case of inappropriate attire.
i'll grab that when i'm not in a sportcoat and oxfords.

Another lost diamond. Some of the older neglected caches are this jewel. Unlike others I hadn’t picked these up before. A good old Biggles Bear cache. - (Thanks). my second found today on the Gardiners Creek bikepath. Approached on bike , dodged a few muggles and went to a level I needed. It had been tucked away nicely where I retrieved and replaced quickly. Only a couple jewels to go. Picture of recent graffiti.

Came back again today with a oen to sign the log

I've run over this spot hundreds of times, today I decided to stop and have a quick search for this one.

I found it farily quickly but it had fallen out of it's hiding spot and was camouflaged among rubbish in some bushy weeds below. I didn't have a pen so I'll have to come back and sign the log another time.

I replace the cache back in what I assume was its original location.

Thanks BigglesBear!

I was all over searching for this one for a full hour! Perhaps the longest I've ever searched and still recorded a DNF. Disappointing because I'm supposed to be clearing up DNFs, rather than creating them. No luck here...

Visiting Melbourne for the Grand Prix. This should give me another county. Not an easy grab. Risking a swim and some funny looks from nearby muggles bit what the heck. Thanks Biggles Bear. Think I have a few of your caches.

A warm morning before a day of 40 degrees. Quiet enough on a Sunday with intermittent cycle traffic. Interesting to see the parks/river depot not far away.

Quick detour from the bouldering wall. We chose the wrong path at first, then dad needed to climb down to grab the cache. Grabbed Tb. Tftc

Tried to find this one ages ago during a night ride past here. Much easier in the daylight. Tftc dropped a TB.

Found It!
This was a little easier than I was expecting. Spotted the cache from above and then climbed over and under to grab it. Lots of joggers and cyclists here today...
TFTC

Hint is critical.
Back in the day, I used to be pretty good on the monkey bars. Now? Not so ...
Terrain of 3 is fair dinkum - for me
TFTC. Loved it

Once over the edge and a bit of squatting it was a quick find.Tftc

The walk has been lovely on this sunny Sunday arvo, and raindoctor put himself through ALL the hard work while I was on the phone.

Oh. It is terrain 3! Lol. I thought it was less and I was thinking gee whiz this cache is a lot of work! I amazed myself by getting this cache. We really enjoyed looking at the bouldering wall nearby. Great cache. Thank you!

A quick and easy find on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon following a Parks Victoria Event on Herring Island.
Great reward today for Parks Volunteers.
TFTC

I finally got around to this one today. Great spot for a cache. It made me use parts of my body not usually put under stress

Even left a little traveller this time.

Fun easy find

Another not too hot afternoon, perfect for caching and puppy walking. GMelb wanted to concentrate on caches that quiet1_au & lochb had done and he hadn't, so this was next. Wow I can't believe this cache has only had 4 finds in the past 12 months?? We parked near the underpass and walked through, geopuppy excitedly searching out new smells. We left GMelb at GZ and continued on down to the path by the water. Geopup was scared to cross the metal grate things and was unsure of the holey path to begin with but got used to it and was very excited by rowers going past once she was on more stable ground lol. We guided GMelb to where the cache was and in between muggles he retrieved it, signed it and then was putting it back when more muggles suddenly appeared. They looked a bit worried so we immediately told them we were Treasure Hunting - Geocaching. The 3 women asked if GMelb wanted help getting back up hahaha, I think they would have dropped him, he went further along to get back up lol We then went for a quite a walk along the path to expose geopuppy to more grates, cyclists etc. I think she was glad to get back to the car... she slept all the way home and then slept for the next 2 hours!! Lol

So sneaky! We loved looking for this one.

Rarely walk this side of the river so was a cool adventure!!
Had to heave ho a bit but definitely with it. Sometimes a bit of physical effort gets the goods though my body won't like for the climb back up.
Good spot!!
TFTC
Goonies Never Say Die!

After a lot of searching we discovered the cache. I believe where we located it was not the intended location. We have returned it to what we believe is its correct location at the exact coordinates.

On our third attempt we found it. However I think that it wasn't on its original location.
Admin, please check if the container is where it is supposed to be.
Btw, there's no more graffiti wall...

Find #983
Thanks for providing a cache here to allow a quick break on a bike ride today. Took some convincing to get back in its place without losing it.

Nice location too

Ye

Yes

Took flippityjibbit for their debut cache today and managed to beat the rain. Had a quick search above before reading the logs and taking the troll tact. Great camo and a fun find! Tftc

One of the better ones in the heart of Melbourne! Thx
Ps: the container might need replacement

Nice spot tftc

In the area early this afternoon for an appointment, and once that concluded I had time to chase down one cache, with this being the closest.

Once at GZ I had a good look around, found nothing, then finally checked the hint, which led me to abandon my search and go with Option B (aka The Troll Approach). Wasn't in the best clothing for this, but it was unlikely that I'd be back in the locale anytime soon and sometimes adventure calls and you have to answer, even when clad all in black with a heavy overcoat and nice shiny shoes...

Having shifted position somewhat I searched awkwardly (and unsuccessfully) for a while and was about ready to give up when I turned and saw the camouflaged container, close enough to bite me (if Sistemas had teeth).

Signed the log, took nothing, left nothing. Thanks for the urban adventure, Biggles Bear!

Couldn't find this one... was on my knees in the mud and everything!

This was my second visit to this cache. The first came a couple weeks ago when I went for a walk. I thought I knew where it would be, but tried to spy it...to no avail.

This time, I dressed with proper footwear and went spelunking. I made it a lot harder than it needed to be, in the searching, but I soon found the cache and leapt back into civilization. Aha, so it *is* possible to spy it without Jackie Chan-like nimbleness.

Left a Halo action figure, just for kicks. Avoided the bicyclists effectively.

Glad I could pick this one off; it's close to a common stomping ground of mine, so it's nice to see a happy face there from here on out.

Find 374.

We were right on location and spend a good 30 min looking and didnt find it! Hard one

I was sure I was looking in the correct place, but without success. After reading the hint I decided to do my troll impersonations and quickly found the cache. Tftc.

Found this one a couple of days ago, but I have been a bit lazy and also drowning in university assignments, but now I have found some free time and can write my logs for the caches that I found on Friday night before the event. After I had finished Uni on friday night I quickly headed up towards the city to grab a few caches to make sure that the #microadventures event was my 100th cache found (hooray). This was the fourth cache I found today, and this one was found as I waited to meet with Promontory so we could go across the Yarra to wait for people to rock up for the event that would be starting in 2 hours. This certainly had me stumped until i read the hint and realised where I had to go. Daylight was diminishing and 100's of cyclist decided to ride past making grabbing this cache a little bit difficult. Other than that the cache was quickly found and the travel bug was grabbed and will be moved along when I go overseas. Anyways I had a really fun time looking for the cache and can't wait to do some more.
-BuhFuhGuh #98 so close, I'm so excited!

Found it with Gordon165 on the way to the pub. Left trackable.

Nice spot

Nailed it!

Cool cache

TFTC Biggles Bear. Nice hide. Startled a couple of muggles walking by when I emerged from GZ. I'm not looking forward to the lump that will come up from the bump on the head. Jimmytherat.

Found it easiest to get down on the ground to look for it

found it. Logged this one while out riding with the geo family.Tftc

I was out for a bike ride with the kids and stopped off here for a reasonably quick find. The clue and a previous log proved handy. Nice spot for it! Thanks Biggles Bear.

First time geocaching for one of our party. Good hide! TFTC

That took bravado (just saying) & a useful clue to find. TFTC

Not weather sealed any more but the contents seemed okay!

Think mugle might have taken. Spent a long time looking.

Sorry for the late log but catching up on old logs. Grabbed this one while catching up with family in the area. Thanks for the cache.

Found it with geodaughter on a lovely Saturday morning ride with a brunch stop. Needed the hint to find though.

Nice placement
All ok
Thanks!

Very nice. The coordinates were jumping all over the place. But used the hint to find it. cheers

I found it with Jamie after rock climbing #2

Took us quite a while but finally we spotted it
12:36pm 31/1/15

#2949 - 14:15; In Melbourne for a few days after a trip home to Tassie and picking up a few more caches while I'm in town. I seem to remember mentioning my love of shopping in earlier logs and today reminded me why. The geogals wanted to come to Bridge Road, Swan and Chapel Streets to check out the retailers, so I came along to make sure they arrived safely and then headed off on a much longer walk than I had bargained for. This was the eleventh of fifteen, comprising 14 finds and a single DNF. I had done an arc through Richmond and was now well into Burnley on my way to meet up with the geogals in South Yarra. This one took a little while to locate, and I searched high and low before I finally spotted the hide. Luckily there were few muggles around, so I was able to take my time, before patience and a little geosense produced a result, just as I was about to throw in the towel. TFTC Biggles Bear

Found it

A lunch run with Spiffy- We had to negotiate numerous muggles on bikes but was lucky to make a quick find. Many thanks to Biggles Bear for the cache.

My buddy needed a cache to keep his run going and I just wanted to get out of the office so we headed in the opposite direction to normal because I had been meaning to grab this cache for over a year since it is my last one along the freeway all the way from Dandenong to the tennis centre.
I luckily spotted this one nice and quickly today with only a few bike muggles around. Parking was pretty hard due to heaps of workmen working on the road nearby but we managed to nab the last spot available.
Thanks Biggles Bear for the cache, the hunt and the fun.

Cheeky ride & caching after work. TFTC

Out caching with SkyBlueTraveller.Tricky one initially, reading recent logs helped. TFTC

I had been on a caching expedition in Yarra Park with kmace this arvo and she mentioned that this was one of her nemesis caches, having searched for it a couple of times previously without success. I had never attempted this cache so as it was on the way home I thought that a bit of teamwork might put it to rest.

Being knock-off time, there were tons of cyclists on both bike tracks. The co-ords on our GPSrs jumped around a bit near the graffiti wall. It was muddy below so we didn't want to go there. I decided to move away from wall to allow my GPSr to settle while kmace remained near GZ. From this different perspective my GPSr was able to indicate the probable cache location. I yelled out to kmace where I thought the cache was and she felt around and eventually found the sneaky hide. We happily signed the log at 5:40 pm and then kmace managed to return the cache to its hiding spot without getting run over by the increasing number of cyclists. TNLN.

Thanks Biggles Bear for the very challenging and cleverly hidden cache. I loved the graffiti "art", although it was now too dark to take photos of it. I really liked the different view of the mighty Yarra from this location.

Found this one with ladioactive today. I had looked here previously both by myself and with irontoad unsuccessfully. Today ladioactive offered a different perspective on things and that meant that I could look in the correct place. The cache was found though not easily. I had a few questions from passing bikers as to whether I was okay though most were on the other track. Signed log today but didn't swap anything.

Thanks for the cache Biggles Bear.

Found Graffiato With my main men and was a bitch to find

Found it with my main men it was a bitch to find

Dammit- no time to go under todaty. I'll be back!

Deal$ltd is a master troll

Found with gashe1. A lot of climbing and fumbling in the twighlight. As per usual . Tftc. #wheeling&dealing

Found this some time ago but I can't remember when. I'll log it now because I passed GZ today and remembered that I forgot to log it

Easy to spot if you get down but actually quite accessible from the top. Dont get misled my mentions of magnets as they are not required anyway. TFTC

Found on shore leave while kayaking along the Yarra. Thanks

Find #219

Like the previous founder this took me a little while before I spotted it on the ground. Hopped down to get it, signed log and put it back where I thought it should go. Great location and thanks for the cache Biggles Bear.

Good little spot.

Unfortunately cache was on the ground, so I had to jump down and get it. Cache container has some holes, and the magnet has come loose.

I've put it back in its hiding spot (i assume), but it needs some maintenance from owner.

Thanks for the cache though.

This was cache number two of an afternoon bike ride; and I've actually been in this location previous during a Laneway Lunacy stroll. When I realised where the cache was most likely to be I tried finding a way to access it. When I couldn't find a good location I saw what I assumed to be the cache on the ground and not in it's hiding location (it was a small sistema box). As I could get to the container I couldn't reside it. Some owner intervention may be required.

An interesting wall with some colourful designs. After getting where I needed to be I was able to spot the container and add my name to the log. Thanks to Biggles Bear for the cache.

We had a great day exploring and paddling along the Yarra. Thanks for the adventure. Found with Stooy.

Found at 2225 on a final night caching stroll with SirJ-Oz before I wing off for warmer climes. After a quick search around by torchlight we determined that someone would have to play troll - SirJ drew the short straw and had just touched down when I spotted and retrieved the cache from on high - oh well, that's the way it goes! In short order the log was signed (TNLN) and the cache tucked away again, and we were on our way. Thanks for the cache Biggles Bear.

Find #1352. Found @ 22:25 with AmethystPig.

After finishing off a nearby multi which required 3 visits over the last 3 days, we decided to grab a few more in the area before piggie left the state again.

Parking at the other end of the tunnel, we walked to GZ with no problems. The area is not very good for accurate GPSr functionality, and we marched back and forth for a bit.

I performed the difficult manoeuvre in order to continue to search, and the bejewelled swine made the grab just as I completed my acrobatics. Hrumphf! I'm sure he waited just so he could see me struggle to climb back up again.

Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables.
Thanks for the cache Biggles Bear.

Was a little difficult in the dark but an adventurous find

Had a quick look today at this one but was in the wrong clothes to find it. Will be back.
