Thanks for taking us to this cool little spot! Were avid bikers so stoked to find this pump track! Well be back for sure! Also, loved the cache! TFTC!
Nice! out with my mates for a bike and stumbled across this, Thank you for the hideThanks Mister Doctor-Zeq4
TFTC , weve snuck out of a family holiday to do some caching. This is our first time in Melbourne and we love it.
Yay - a great way to start the day with a quick fun find of a well described cache.
With dot558 on a trail that kept sucking us in curious about the next as we goWell worth the walk with great caches and pleasent walkingThanks
A tennie cute cache! I felt a bit awks walking along the pump track but I couldn't see a better way in. I went around the tree twice before reading the hint, which made the hide more obvious. Thanks for adding this one here.The cache is all good with one side of the log empty and ready for new people.
New pobblebonks installed.As I was introducing the new pobblebonks to the area I heard a familiar bonk and a couple of metres away was the original pobblebonks! The two frogs said hello and I secured the newer version to make the finding easier
Out and about on Grand Final Day - always a good caching day, especially in the afternoon. Found after a bit of a search.Thanks to Mister Doctor for the cache.
Nice find here. Soon had the cute little guy in hand. Thank you so much for being a part of my Australian adventure this week.
Found it! Out and about for a few more caches for this month’s challenge. Back in MisterDoctor territory so I was expecting a few surprises!! This one was pretty straightforward even in the dark. I’m quite liking caching in the dark, a lot less Muggles. Well I didn’t see anyone this this GZ. I needed to be careful not to trip on lots of hidden tiny stumps! TFTC SL
Thanks to Mister Doctor for placing this cache here.
We made a thorough search and came up empty handed.
So as we often do, we looked a little wider and there was the cache sitting in the open on a bed of autumn leaves about 15 metres away from its hiding spot.
No log was inside.
So we looked around a little more and spotted a very wet and soggy log just on view for all to see.
So a temproary log was popped into the container to give the CO some time to drop by here. The container was returned to the GZ as indicated.

Dropped by to check on Pobblebonks. All happy, just needed to correct for some cache creep and creative attachment!
ConnieandRick found this when we thought the local BMXers had moved on. Unfortunately they moved back. Didn’t manage to find the mulberry tree though. Thanks!
School holidays finished? Maybe not, by the look of the muggle boys. Waited a while but got it.
Me and my brother found it. We were searching and my brother spotted it and opened it. Thanks!
Unfortunately no pobblebonks today, but really cute container design, not quite like any I’ve seen before. Handmade containers are always fun.
Happy to report that the cache is in good condition and the log nice and dry.

I had a few errands to run today, and had time to find a few caches that I've had my eye on for a while.
This was another spur of the moment hunt after my searches further north.
A quick find with the help of the hint in a park I've never been to before, even though we lived not far away some years ago. I do appreciate hand made containers, even simple ones.
The log sheet was slightly damp but being waterproof, still in good condition. I dried it off a little before signing.

Going in there’s a hive near it and it’s a risk of getting sting
But other then that it’s fine

Finally a nice clear warm day perfect for a spot of geocaching. Lovely location. Log a little damp but ok to write on. TFTC
With the rainy weather on and off today, I had to choose when I was going to grab the daily cache in order to keep the streak alive. With finally a break in the rain I drove out here to Heatherdale to try and make this find. Luckily the rain I think scared away most of the muggles, as the park was completely empty.
Once I arrived at GZ, the rain actually started again. So I quickly checked the hint to make the find quicker. Armed with the hint, the cache was easily located. A neat little cache container, that I hadn't seen for a while. Thanks for the fun today and TFTC.
The cache container was still in good shape. The attachment mechanism still seemed strong. The logbook was a bit moist, but still signable and had plenty of room for future cache finders to sign.

Out after work with traccas_b, it was Verry wet today with the bmx track filling into little ponds. ( I bet the frogs like it! ) A Verry good hiding place after getting through the wet bushes. Tftc Mr doctor!
The weather this week continues to be amazing and so today I decided to make the most of it. It was finally time to finish off the NHL series I had started over a year ago and gather some other nearby caches.
We took a short stroll to this one since the cars were already parked nearby and grabbed this cache. It was a lovely area although no bmx bandits and as the light was fading we signed the log.
Thanks Mister Doctor for adding this cache to the worldwide collection for us all to find.

today is the last gap in my calendar grid and I happily put a smile with the fabulous Mister Doctor diorama cache.
Within 2 minutes Roaming Howie asked me what my new caching goal will be. I hadn't quite imagined I would get this far with two years of lockdowns always hindering my goals.. so to buy some time before answering we set off to this nearby cache.
It was a nice quick find and now I have a new goal - to fill in my 3x3 DT grid.
Thanks Mister Doctor for your caches.

Today was a curriculum day for Master Trouble and so geocaching was what we decided to do this morning. Mrs80 saw this easily but let Master Trouble retrieve. Log signed TFTC
Little Mr trouble had a curriculum day today so Mrs 80 degrees came over to spend the day with him. When asked what he wanted to do he asked to go caching with her. Together with Mrs 80 degree they made the find
#1325 - Had some fun running the bmx track and got the cache as a bonus!
(Also almost slipped over half a dozen times)

Found it as it started to get dark. Following the trails, oh I wish I was a kid again on my BMX. T4tc!
Thats a cute little thingy...and no one about this late arvo. This land feels like it once was farmland judging by some of these English trees... found the Mulberry tree, loved it's twisted structure.
