Completing some cache maintenance today with kploz…..but making him find them first.
This cache is definitely missing and by the look of the seat it will need to be dismantled soon as it isn’t safe. Therefore I’m going to disable this while I build a new hide for it to go around the same location.

Did not find

Its been muggled

Even though we had found this one previously, we had no luck here today. Maybe next time although the structure here is rather dead.

Seat has fallen apart, side arm broken away. Not sure how to continue this one...

Nearly gave up on this one. The seat is falling apart, so CO might need to evaluate. Thought we had found it (see photo) but alas. Eventually the cache was in hand and signed with Fitzelfleas.

After finding the seat in a poor state of repair with a questionable handmade item nearby, Kezzza and I feared the worst. One last search before moving on, however, yielded the prize! TFTC, but it might be necessary to move this one on soon if the seat is any more damaged or if the council decides to fix it!

Dad had to help a bit. Nice spot

Thank you, needed a little rest 18:15

Earlier this evening my brother rang me and asked if I wanted to order uber eats with him for dinner. Given that the options are very limited from our house I suggested that we get pizza from the shop near here so that I could stop and find this cache on the way. He complained that it might take me longer than uber would've so I set out to prove him wrong!

I parked nearby, had a quick check to ensure no muggles were looking and promptly found the cache. The logbook was signed, the pizza picked up and I was home again before my brother even noticed I was gone. How dare he question my geocaching speed?! Just kidding, some days I don't even find the darn things, today was just a good day

Thanks for the cache, I'll be on the lookout for the rest of the series

Found it TFTC

Wow made that one much harder then it should have been….TFTC

Found it!

Nice little spot to sit and enjoy the greenery! This was our first minecraft one so we will be hunting for others now. Tftc!

TFTC. Car park was empty and no one around making this relatively quick search and find this cache. Cache is in excellent condition.

Checked around the obvious GZ… no luck today

A bingo moment! Fun day out just beyond the burbs and lucky for me within the 15 km allowed and so along with a few other missions here I am. This was not exactly on my radar but I missed a turnoff so it’s too close to ignore! Either way, it’s refreshing to be exploring the Dandenongs to make the finds. In Melbs on carers duty again, so glad to to be here before the joe blakes get too active. Coordinates were good and this country gal was very happy with that. TFTC AND THE FUN.

Nice hide and nice little spot

Found on a beautiful sunny days walk

Found quickly, area was quiet due to the lockdown. TTFC

Found with dalrot, baby and geopup. first find of this series. Tftc

Muggles be damned! TFTC

Didn’t have the chance to look today because there were so many muggles sitting in their cars.

Tftc! Lots of muggles out today but managed to find it

Out for some chores. What a lovely area, quiet today. Cache was found and logged. TFTC

We were fortunate to have the whole area to ourselves today, so our stealth skills were not required. A quick find after getting ourselves into the right position, logbook signed and we were off to the next adventure.

Thanks Mark&Kelly.

Tftc. Found fairly quickly, just enjoying a nice Saturday afternoon

Lovely spot in some afternoon sun
The big cat purred well and so did steady Neddy

Found!

Perfect hiding spot!

Thank you

Another great mine craft cache tftc

Found thanks

Found

After dropping off my sisters birthday cake I needed a quick find to continue my streak before going home to make dinner. Luckily no one was around as I found the cache and signed.

This was another nice easy find. Found whilst waiting for my brother-in-law before we both headed off for a caching trip back to our wives parent's place for NYE. TFTC.

Fun and easy find

Thanks for providing our first family geocache! It took a little bit of searching but we got there in the end

Found today in good condition. Clue noted and log signed. Tftc.

Found this well hidden cache whilst visiting Upwey for work. Good hide in accessible spot tftc

Nice seat ... my cow needed a rest... thank you

My Minecraft addicted geokid was extremely excited to find our first cache if this series. A few villagers around so had to be sneaky. Tftc

Out for a drive in the Dandenongs, we stopped for this quick find. Thanks (._o) /Mark&Kelly

All in good condition

Couldn’t find this one. Out of time unfortunately.

Awesome !

Found on the way to Belgrave market

Leaving Upwey today after a 4 day stay in the area. This was a quick find before a nice breakfast in a local cafe. All good here.

Tim and Viv - ddm

Had to think a little but got it!
In between muggles

Kids found it

Nice, easy find. All in good condition. TFTC

Due to redevelopment of the nearby playground, it has been nessersary to relocate this cache to a more discrete location.

Ready to find.......happy hunting!

Cache has been relocated and replaced, bigger cache now suitable for small swag and travellers...enjoy the hunt.

Looks like sugarcane is back on the menu! Well, kind of - it was found exposed by my Muggle brother, who luckily recognised it for what it was and stashed it somewhere close to GZ ready for retrieval - I considered driving from Canberra to Melbourne to relocate it, but decided to let it slide...

Logbook is soggy from the rain, so if you find it before the CO fixes it up bring a piece of paper as a temporary log.

Still waiting for works to finish here. Hopefully in amongst this new infrastructure we can find a good hide.

Sounds like works in the area have caused this one to dissolve like sugar in a cuppa. We will see what ends up being built here and see if we can reinstate the cache.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Unfortunately, pretty sure this cache is gone. The playground is dug up and nothing left. The seat was recently removed as well. All that is left is dirt and temporary fencing.

Easy find but tricky retrieval with all these dratted kids around;).

Headed up to Upwey because a mate was marching in the Anzac Day Parade. Figured while I'm here, I might try and convince my little one to go find a cache or two. Didn't take much convincing! I let him play on the playground whilst I surreptitiously felt around in the obvious spot. Grabbed it pretty quickly, and the little one comes running over shouting "Daddy found a dache!" So much for subtlety. That's right, he can't pronounce cache yet. But that's okay. Signed log and replaced without being spotted. Thanks for the cache!

quick find TFTC

Had to be super-stealthy here, and I took the hint's advice and took a seat to wait for some muggles to leave. Thought I'd throw my hand down and what do you know? There it was! On to the next Minecraft cache......TFTC!

Accompanied with kangas11 for caching today.
Lovely forest and beautiful.
Weather was become more hot.
Found it
Thanks Mark&Kelly

Accompanied with crank1 for lunch at maccas near Belgrave and then head to Upwey for getting more caches before on way home. Found it. Thanks Mark&Kelly for the cache.

Noone around in the middle of the day TFTC

Tnln

Good find

Nice find after a nice dinner out tftc

Easy find

Found it! Log book is getting very full. We found a back of a page that wasn't written on but it probably needs replacing soon.

Found it

james0116

Grabbed this while killing time till my Australian citizenship ceremony.

This was last on our list. Geokid enjoyed the playground while I wrote in the logbook. Then we had to figure out the co-ordinates for the bonus cache. Couldn't get my head around it so headed home to figure it out. Will be back soon to grab Minecraft #10.

Je profite de ce beau dimanche pour attaquer le défi des 1000 marches du mémorial de KOKODA et en profite pour loguer quelques caches sur mon passage

Found it

Very happy to find this spot empty of people at 5pm on a Sunday night! Grabbed another clue.

Surrounded around muggles, we were quite proud of how stealthy we were. Tftc Mark&Kelly

Full log

Full log and I also need to do number 2s

Find # 492
Back in this area today chasing all of this series to take us to 500 caches.
Sneaky hide.
2 down, 8 to go.

Been out to do some owner maintenance today. Logbook still has plenty of room to sign, please use both sides.

My son and I enjoyed a rest in the sun after a lovely brunch at a nearby cafe.

Log is full, didn't sign. TFTC

A quick find in the dark after dinner at a near by restaurant. I won't be completing the series though as I live 200km away! TFTC

This was our first cache! Thanks

This was a little tricky at GZ as a muggle was perched atop the container. We had to wait done time for him to move along before we were able to retrieve and sign the log.
A nice easy find on an autumn afternoon.
TFTC!

Easy find during a very quiet time here. Love the ship!

The playground was in use but we took a strategic position and retrieved the cache very easily. Clue noted and we were off again! Thanks (, 0) / Mark&Kelly for maintaining the cache.

Filling in time between dropping the car off for a service and waiting for Hera to finish her jazzercise (Lol. I think it has a way cooler name than that) class down the road. Grabbed a coffee at my regular coffee shop and came to sit and check on this cache. All in good order. Log book is filling up but if people flick through and just find a spare spot to write, it should last a bit longer.

Just had my haircut, a few mins to fill, thought I'd have a quick sit and found this one. TFTC

I was too early for my appointment with my patient down the road, so I dilly dallied with this cache and the other nearby one. I quite enjoyed seeing the pirate ship playground and noted it for future reference if my boys are ever with me in the area (and my friend builds pirate ship playgrounds for primary schools too) and took a comfy seat to let the gps settle. A quick find later, clue gathered and I was on my way for the next. TFTC Mark&Kelly.

Found this one with a little help from the clue TFTC

Found this on although it was really hard as there were muggles everywhere, being newbies we haven't sussed out a good technique. Having the kids made it easier, thanks again

Only one more to go. Nearly there!!! Time to go over and try the bakery

#545 - 7pm
The playground was the perfect stopping point for us. The heat of the day had passed and the Mini-Welders happily boarded the ship. Emeylo spared a moment from her exploits on the high seas to find the treasure for good old Admiral Welder, who was struggling with a sore back today.
All is well with the cache. The log is filling up and the seal bag could do with a replacement, but both are serving adequately for now.
Thanks (._o) for another nice find. We're one step closer to the End-ermen...
