Logs
Very quick find in the obvious location. Log was wet but one of those types that meant it was still signable. Thanks for the cache.
Find 3367After a couple of DNF's, it was pleasing to get amongst the smiley's.At GZ a quick scan of the area and then I noticed the cache lying in the open on the ground.Log was intact, but wet. Because of the type of paper it was an easy sign.I replaced the cache upright and under cover.Thanks Cherryslice88
Found it. Forgot the pen. The log is pretty wet. Thanks for the cache!
Great hiding place! Log sheet was a bit wet though so I couldnt write my entry - might need replacing
I have actually searched here in the past and never got around to logging a DNF and I searched here for longer that time than I did this time. Light was fading and there were a few muggles about so I chose to leave once again without a find. Hopefully third time lucky another day.
I love the beautiful mural and the wattle is out at the moment adding to this picturesque area. Day three of my attack on Victorian LGAs. I woke later than I expected to a grey, miserable looking day promising scattered showers which I didn't really relish as I was hoping for at least 6 more areas. I was targeting a few Side tracked caches, which probably wasn't a very good idea as it was peak travel time when I started. I mostly had success, but found it quite interesting how much I depend on knowing a cacher and method and types of hides. Of course down here I don't have that knowledge and at times I found it quite difficult to find the supposelying easy caches. Thanks for drawing it to my attention. Thanks to all the COs for placing and maintaining the caches that add so much to our game. All found caches were signed and replaced where found.
A quick find thanks to the last log, glad as my GPS was indicating elsewhere. Thankfully the waterproof paper is working, as it was very soggy and I emptied water out of the container. Thanks for the cache.
TFTC! Quite a hard find but got it after about 15 minutes of searching! Was well hidden by the last cacher who discovered it! Found with heathermcc95 xx CQ xx
TFTC! Quite difficult as its not close to the pin. Its to the right of the blue gate that its located at if anyones struggling! With @narahsash
A wet day to be walking through the bushes but ended up finding the cache after increasing my search radius. TFTC, all in good condition
After the Succulents this was quite a dry and dark area. My phone took ages to settle with the canopy above, but eventually I widened my search enough to make the find.Seeing I was in the area, I wondered if my old Judo Dojo (with Mr Dando) was still behind the shops across High Street Rd.Unbelievably I found it after 40 years and with absolutely no signage! That was where my best friend and I went when we were in primary school!A lovely walk through a lovely park then took me back to the car TFTC Cherryslice
gps led us a bit astray so took a moment getting to the correct cache location. Fun search and eventually stumbled across something very suspicious looking, so we have hidden it in the same place with slightly less visibility. Thanks for the cache, good hide! Found with adyap.
A lovely day to go caching today... so I made my way south across the Yarra and into the northern reaches of the City of Monash... an area of Melbourne I haven't been caching in all that often and yet has plenty of caches to find... With lunch out of the way... and the day starting to get really warm, I decided that it was time to start in the general direction of home before the traffic started to get too bad... and, at the same time, taking the opportunity to find a few more caches along the way. This cache required wandering in a few circles before I finally spotted its hide. Thanks **Cherryslice88** for the cache.
Off on a Friday night caching run collecting a few caches as I slowly make my way home. This was one that caught my eye. Watched the people playing Croquet for a while, before heading for this one. That 'Camera' sign is just annoying. Especially as when standing at the sign, my GPSr was saying 2 meters, with a 10 meter radius. Heading South it would say 10 meters North. Heading North it would say 10 meters South. As such, it took me a while to find this one searching in lots of places.Thanks for the cache Cherry Slice 88Hunter
Me and the housemates wanted to see what was in the area and we found this one! Found it after a little search, what fun!
Nice find after a bit of a search. A bit wet, but otherwise in good condition. TFTC

Multicache will be a time to ponder

A busy weekend of events, CITOs, and occasional caches.
Variable weather, but stayed dry most of the time.
I parked in Teck Street so walked past the great mural. Took a while trying to work out what it says, then onto the cache.
A quiet park today, at least in this section.
Thanks, Robmc.

Out caching on a lovely sunny Winter's afternoon. I read that other had found the cache to be off by a few metres, so began my search a little distance from where my GPS was pointing. Fortunately, I picked the correct side, and the cache was quickly found.
Many thanks to Cherryslice88 for the cache.

This one took some time to find, I was put off by the barking dog behind the gate, it must be real annoying for the home owners every time someone comes looking for the cache. I eventually found it 11m from the indicated GZ.
Best thing about the cache was the mural on the wall near by.
Thanks Cherryslice88 for the cache.

We arrived at GZ a little unsure about this cache. Three DNFs since the last find in October 22. However we decided to have a look and checked a few likely spots without luck. On re-reading the description I expanded my search and eventually found the well hidden container a few metres from where the GPSr devices indicated GZ to be. Thanks to Cherryslice88 for the cache.
Fair bit of activity around here and sadly spotted some used needles and didn't want to poke around much after that
Starting the day off with two DNFs is pretty miserable but it do be that way sometimes.
Again, hoping it’s not missing as I have the whole area a pretty intensive search and found nothing.

A lot of muggle activity in this area. Even after an extensive search we still couldn't locate anything. May need to be replaced.
After reading past logs and widening our search, mrx2 made the find for us! Lovely quiet area. TFTC!
I also found the GZ coords a bit off but I found this one after widening my search. Thx

We found the cache about 9m from the co-ordinates. There is a new area wqhich has been set up with some chairs, sand and other items for kids to play and there is also a sign indicating the area is under surveillance. A quick health check by the CO to see if the cache location could be compromised may be in order. Other than that this was a challenging cache to find as there was so much to search through.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks for placing this geocache here for us to find today for without those who would hide, there is nothing for those who would find.

Was seriously on my way out, after looking high and low, in the dark, just too tired. Then as you do with geocaching, just one more place. Cache in hand, thanks heaps!!
I wandered around and around feeling like a real Galah because I just couldn’t find it. Eventually I realised my GPS was a little off at this one so I soon expanded my search and very quickly had the cache in my hand.
Thanks for place so many caches in the local area. We are constantly driving somewhere and I’ll make my hubby pull over to grab one more smiley.

Beautiful scenary and beautiful poem hiding the clues which we follow to quickly find the cache while enjoying the peace and beauty depicted exactly as in the poem! Thanks for the delightness of the cache and the poem
Out collecting a few more of caches by Cherryslice88 .. so generous to put out so many caches for us to find… this one had me going for a while .. so many places to hide a cache around the area and my GPS wasn’t being kind… I took note of the gate .. well if we weren’t to worry about it then the cache must be …… here .. and bingo there it was .. thanks Cherryslice88 for placing and maintaining the cache
Have tried multiple times to get this one since moving to the area in 2020. After the cache was recently replaced we managed to get out and found it almost immediately. Tftc
Eventually found!! Was about 6/7M from coordinates, but the description clues helped us get there ! TFTC

Will be back and try another day, searched for around 15 mins. Very busy at the park as well.
GPS was all over the place, so were the logs (and kids) here. I'll try another time
A beautiful Easter Saturday with nothing planned so decided to check out a few caches in the Burwood/Ashburton area.
Quick, easy find with the clues from the poem.

Spent a while at the wrong tree. Tried a different one and there it was. Hopefully I’ve hidden it a bit better! TFTC
After a busy day we finally got out for our walk and to fill another day on the caching calendar with caches in our local area. Although there was a few Muggles in the nearby playground they were far enough away not to notice us. Once in the vicinity of GZ it wasn't long before Mr Pooky made the find. TFTC and bringing us to this reserve.
Another neat Cherryslice cache to give a focus to my walks, exploring the suburbs of Melbourne. Having only moved to Melbourne in December 2019, and had my explorations interrupted by COVID, it is great to be out exploring and discovering, with caches to guide me.
A nice easy find, but satisfying nonetheless. TFTC

Zero cases Melbourne! Well done. Out to enjoy the sunshine within our 25kms on this wonderful day.
Nabbed this quick cache while out collecting some nearby multi clues
Thanks Cherryslice88 for placing the hide!

Now free of the 5k shackles and most likely working from home till early next year the streak planning now provides many more options. Looking on the map a dense cluster is seen to the west of Sedgwick Manor, well within the 25k bubble, nice!
Well this morning is was super wet and my little half broken umbrella almost collapse twice during the wind gusts and rain burts. Still I remained nice and dry.
Worked on the Multi collecting the details before going to find this cache. A good time of day and weather too as there was no one around. Even the roads were must quieter then normal.
A nice hide and with good coverage to the playground nearby. It was a quick find.
Day 113 of 366 completed.
