Very fun

Nice job, hint works. Another LGA we never visit ticked off.

I walk past this park everyday to get to work and only now have I ever known this had been a cache this whole time! YAY

The logbook is full, a new one needed. Logged with [GCDroid](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gcdroid).

Thank you so much it was a challenge to locate but I don't understand the hint

Great find! Good spot to hide in.

thank u for the cash

it actually took us more than 5 minutes and was dumbfounded that it was actually there the whole time We had fun TFTC

On secondment to Melbourne, Australia, combined with short holidays here and there. From day 49/74, I was accompanied by my dear son, geocacher Ruupertti, who travelled from Finland to visit me in Australia and to spend a holiday with me in New Zealand at the end of my secondment. Day 53/74, Thursday. This was our cache of the day and we liked it a lot. A favorite point from me. Thanks for the cache and greetings from Vaasa, Finland!

Found it

Very cool hide thankyou

TFTC nice hide- dont go to the rubbish corner!

Super cool cache - the definition of hiding in plain sight! To reiterate previous logs, absolutely no need to go digging through rubbish or long grass (there are a lot of syringes around).

Found

We found it and all we can say is it is hard and also obvious

Very cleverly camouflaged. PSA: there are a few syringes and other sharp rubbish lying around when I was here; your kids do NOT need to root around under rubbish bins and things! TFTF

That was a surprising one, me and my siblings found it fun

??

First time Geocaching & I couldnt find it lol, any tips?

FOUND IT! Took some time but got some help from a nice man

Targeted this cache today as it's a new LGA for me.Coming early = no kids to contend with thankfully. Started to meticulously search vicinity of GZ spied something GC and was quickly onto it. log full will need to be replaced.. squeezed name in with someone else's.

Taking TeamAstro to the airport, decided to grab this clever hide along the way. Thanks [Gumby] for placing this cache,for bringing me here and contributing to this great game for others to enjoy. Happy trails, Deanside

What a nice park and super hide! Well done. Found on a sojourn all around during QOGM 2023 adventure. A fun jaunt with lots of dust, mud and starry skies. Thanks [Gumby] and clear skies from TeamAstro. Cache the planet!

thanks for making my first cache a great experience

Dropped my dad off at the Sunshine hospital and doing a few local caches. I was playing with the cache when a passing person yelled “could get your hand off any quicker it’s that hot” confirming I had located the cache. Unique find which at first I hesitated as I didn’t want anything to fall down. Thanks random stranger for the assist you must have already found it. ??????

Semi confused but found it!!

Really gotta think outside the square with this one. Our best find so far thanks for the cool find. Really enjoyed it

Found it! Nice hiding spot

was easy found straight away

Was easy found it straight away if ur new probs not may taje a bit

Excellent hide Gumby

Awesome find!!!! Great Camo loved it.

Winter solstice has passed and we are on the way to longer days!

Challenges galore to meet today; wheel of challenges and winter solstice.

for an urban park it is amazing how well a cache can be concealed to suit the surrounds!

the little musical instrument was a fun to play too.

thanks for the placement [Gumby] and a lovely ending to the day.

Today we headed to Sunbury since it was the last day that we could find the 21 caches for the solstice souvenir plus I would also be able to complete my 20 days this month for the out and about hard souvenir. Also as a bonus this was my last day of the year to complete finding a multi of all 365 days of the year and with a few multis out this way I didn't want to have to wait another whole year so that's why we chose this area for our adventure today. We found some really awesome caches too in the few hours we were here and only had one giant rain storm for about 10 minutes and that was it.
This was one of those nicely constructed caches that we found just as it was getting dark and before we headed back home. A favourite from me.
Thanks [Gumby] for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

Think outside the box on this one

Just when you think you can’t find it

had to look everywhere!

Found while taking a walk around the area with Eldritch97. This was a very nice cache, I like it a lot! A fav point from me.

TFTC. Found with Legocacher79 while exploring the area. Pretty cool cache!

Continuing our journey through the Western suburbs high favourite point trail this appeared next on the list. It turned out to be in a small playground area. When I arrived there were no Muggles- children or adults, but the was one man staring intently down the street on the other side of the park only a few meters from GZ. This created quite a dilemma. When I eventually found the cache I was able to take it elsewhere, moving around the park randomly examining things, which probably confused anyone watching. Returning it was the problem. This fellow was still staring intently down that street and barely moving and I had to return the cache without raising suspicion. Just I was about to return it, he started moving away. Strange!
I quickly returned the cache to its home and followed him away from the park to our car. I hope it hasn’t compromised the cache. The log is pretty full too.

This is a brilliant cache, it looks so authentic and blends in so well. This is one of the best of this type of hide that I have ever seen.

First time I found one if these! No muggles in the morning made it easier.

this was such a cool find

This is a very cool cache. We came at night while staying at a nearby hotel. We are off to Ho Chi Min city tomorrow. A fave point from me.

Thank you! Great one

I’m lucky enough to travel for work and today finds me in Victoria. In between commitments, I find myself with time to kill so I stopped by here for a find.

Many thanks to [Gumby] for placing and maintaining Circus West. I found it, I signed it, and put it back as found.

Very clever

You need to look a bit harder

Very cleverly hidden cache. I spotted what seemed like the hiding place but then checked the hint to be sure I wouldn’t cause an accident by fiddling around where I thought it was. Thanks!

Wowee this one had me searching! Lucky I had my partner with me once again! I'd still be there!

I

Insanely great thinking for this cache, as others have said at first I though nah it won't be that, but you just never know U till you try.. cache in all good condition thankyou for this find

It took 2 visits to figure it out. I'm happy to have done it as it was my first one! Very clever camo. TFTC

cant find it

uay

Found quickly, after reading the logs. Awesome cache, this is so clever

A trip to check out all the awesome places in eastern Victoria. TFTC.
Very nice hide. Just had to look a little harder.

Came along with ilook4geo and looked around and found a cache with good camo. The log was signed and all was put back into place. This cache was chosen at random so ilook4geo could add another LGA to those where caches have been found. Thank you to [Gumby] for placing this cache.

Just adding a few more caches to the list after finding this one with goingplaces2. All was done to keep the written record in order. TFTC.

Great little find. The hint and comments helped.

Great find

Unexpected

Great container.
TFTC

Wow well done. Was looking around and thought well that’s the only thing it could be. Surely it’s not that….and it was

Good one

Almost gave up.... till a local pulled us au and said don't give up. Very clever......

Cool

Electric bolts

Found it with premedbeast and friends

After a day of adventure, found this one after a few goes, sneaky sneaky.

In St Albans for work today and parked up next to this park to use the near by bins ( dirty car). I had a quick look at the Geocaching App and was happy to see a cache only 7 metres from my car.

This is a sneaky/brave little hide. Well done I think this one is worthy of a favourite point FP.

Thank you

Cool find!

Cute

Insanely cool hiding spot. Found it fairly quickly. Peaceful location

I was looking around for about 1-5 mins until I went back home, I look almost everywhere. I’ll go again next time to find it.

It was a great first start to our geocaching journey! First one & first find! Thankyou for creating this amazing and creative hidden gem!

Checked the hint but still couldn't find it, maybe because it's dark

Took a bit of time, found it eventually just as we were about to give up. Finally got the hint. Very clever. First geocache and at a location I've driven past so many times! Lots of fun. Thank you!
Found with @bananaman7

Our first Geocache and now know what to look for in our next hunt. Found with @Lockness90

Cleaver little hid

12 millions! They must have pocketed some of the money! Very innovative cache!

Had no luck with this one unsure whether we were looking in the wrong spot but will try again another day

Great hide - love this one! Very clever! ️

A bit of a tricky one

Very clever spot. TFTC. Such an up and coming area.

Great find!

My first one ever excited to kwep going

Clever little spot, easy to miss, hint and gps is accurate. You gotta think outside the box

Nifty hiding spot and lovely way to have a crash history lesson about the site.

New ‘rite in the rain’ logbook installed!

Had a look at both anchors on two different days and still couldn't find it

Needs new log. Was about to give up and thought hmm.. this might be something. Requires thinking as it is not exactly in plain sight.

My girlfriend found it! Very clever!

Found it, but not exactly in an eclipse or Sistema container like you would expect!

Unsure if it’s still in place or if it’s because we are new to geocaching - Will try again another day

TFTC! live the hiding spot, may need a new log book soon as it's pretty full !

Poked and look around the bushes and trees, and on the pole and it’s anchor, even dug through some dirt beneath tree and pole
