I was out this afternoon on the rail trail to get some steps in after dinner and was in a mission to find my second magnetic nano. Still being a noob and having a drive to hone my ego-skills, I found the 3 rails in the garden bed, then found the benches. After sitting for a little while, I looked for a gap in the muggle traffic to crawl around on my hands and knees when the coast was clear. Finally, after 10 minutes, to my delight, I found the cleverly hidden cache! It sure does blend into the background! Be sure to bring a torch and/or glasses.Signed the log, put it back, then replaced cache as found. Thanks so much to the wonderful CO- this was a lovely distraction.
Cache found after a short search. Thanks for the fun.Cleaning up Victoria with gridge98. We are on a mission this week. Completing twenty finds in Mexican local government areas is the challenge. With the log signed and the cache replaced it was time to leave. Onwards to the next cache. Woot, that is not to far.I would like to show my respect and acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the Land, and their continuing connection to it. I wish to pay my respects to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures; and to Elders past, present and emerging.I will apologize right now, because everything from here on is here solely for the purpose of padding the word count and winning that one hundred word diamond badge again. Somebody moved the goal posts. So many caches to find. So many caches to log. We find them, sign them and replace them.This particular geocache was found using one of the following GPS enabled devices, Garmin GPSr, Montana 680t, Oregon 650 or Dakota 20 and an Apple iPhone 11 using the marvelous Cachly app. Waypoints and paperless geocaching were downloaded via GSAK 9. Log prepared, checked and submitted using GSAK publish logs macro.Warning, this hobby can be addictive. It can lead to exercise, meeting new people and finding interesting places you might not have known existed otherwise. Beware: you may have fun. Apologies for the generic part of the cache log. We do apologise for the generic logs. Thanks to all the cache owner for placing this cache here for our enjoyment.Thanks for the cache. Merci la cache. Danke fr den Cache. Gracias por el cach.

Muggles everywhere going last but this one was found and is all goodTravelling around Victoria with Freddo for a week finding caches as we go. With two challenges on our radar we were in full force. All logs signed with our names or F+g98 for the smaller caches. Thanks for the cache
I run past these seats so often, I never stop and rest on them and think about what used to be here!
Cache find 206Around 10 minutes of search the cache arose. Searching high and low left and right we found bits of of dirt never hurt any cacherTFTC
My apologies, I have really dropped the ball on this one. This cache has now been replaced and is back where it should be.GLW for SirJOz
DNF. Me & a friend have been looking for it for over an hour. Starting to think it may have been taken . So annoyed, first one weve had to walk away from.
My husband found your cache while in this area. Thanks SirJ-Oz for placing the cache.
love the symmetry of the new rail lines. and appreciated the maths joke!!! interesting seats but still managed to be anti homeless 
I owe this listing around 3 DNF's over the last year. I first attempted it whilst living in Malvern East and I think today was the first revisit since living in Caulfield South, even though I have driven past it plenty of times. It just seemed to elude me each time or perhaps I was relying on touching the cache as I ran my hands along feeling for it. I had to wait some muggles out and chose the driest seat. I happened to look underneath the seat I'd chosen and what do you know, there was a cache! Although I'm not a fan of these containers, I'm still happy to finally put my name in the log and put the smiley on my map. Thanks to the temporary cache owner looking after SirJ-Oz's placements.
Suscoe was enjoying a pleasant wander through these inner South Eastern suburbs today.A lovely sunny day, just the right temperature.We found a range of caches.The traffic wasn't too bad for a Monday.Thanks to Sirj-Oz for another interesting spot under this sky rail.
You always start to panic a little when you struggle this badly on a 1.5, but being a little more methodical gave me this find in due time. TFTC! 
Missed this the first time and went up to the Ross town railway cache. Found that one,came back and got this one!!
I got lucky here. Picked the right perch right off the bat .
Thanks for the Cache, I am trying to get back into GC, and your trails of nice caches are in my home area, so it's a wonderful way to build gc-fitness.

Out of the three caches I have found (this one included) this is probably the best, well my favourite at least, it’s a nice scenery too. Indeed it is a bit odd that there’s only 3 rails (heh, math), but maybe someone lost the 4th rail? And the seats resembling the gantry is sick!! 10/10, would cache again.
A nice spot to stop. Thank you SirJ-Oz for placing and maintaining The rail in the sky for us to find today.
Find # 1895.

Was out for long ride and thought i would bag a few caches on my way back. This was an excellent excuse to have a breather and a sit down. Took a few attempts to find where it was secreted but got there after a few minutes. Thanks for the excuse to sit and relax for a while. TFTC. (Pencil needs a sharpen, sorry didnt have anything with we to help out)
27kms in to our walk, we decided to stop for a seat and cache. Thanks for the hide!
Just as we arrived at GZ and took a seat, a muggle arrived and proceeded to sit and have her lunch nearby. After waiting 5 minutes Mrs SKI created a diversion to distract her while Mr SKI retrieved the cache. Signed and returned.
We had damaged our laptop so that it was no longer transportable, so after locating a suitable repair place in Melbourne we picked up our good mate Rebel Acts who was in need of some time away and headed off. Our trip ended up being spread over a few days as the laptop was not a simple repair and required a few days. This gave us the opportunity to pick up a few caches, with a couple of nice hides.
Thank you for your efforts in creating and maintaining the cache SirJ-Oz.

Have found this one in the past and went to go again with my daughter but didn't find it in the same place.
It was a very windy day. I our train got delayed it was terribly windy we were starving we were hungry. we wen out there for days and then I Coach got deyaled late so we started started to do the treacherous hike down from Hughesdale station to Carnegie station or something because of the magnetic magnetic force and we found to be in pool to the seat and then we are handsome are going up there we found it with unlocked it we went boom it’s a geocaching and now this out sorry so yes a referendum.
Although I have found practically all of SirJ-Oz’s 18 active caches, I feel compelled to revisit as many as I can and pay my respects. I am calling this a pilgrimage of the Knights Templar in honour of the brave Sir Knight himself.
This was my fourth re-find. Still as well-placed and in as fine condition as ever!
RIP SirJ 22 December 2022

Heading over this corner of Melbourne to visit family this afternoon and came a bit early to chase out some caches. With time on my side I had left the car and was wandering around looking for nearby caches as they are reasonably close together. With a few options available for this one, it took a little while to find it... but I got there in the end.
Thanks **SirJ-Oz** for the cache.

Tried to look inconspicuous, so pretended we were using the seats as gym equipment, whilst doing push-ups etc to look for the hide. Found eventually without garnering too much attention.
Thanks to SirJ-Oz for bringing our attention to the rail in the sky, and the rail tracks left on the ground!
Cache in good condition. TNLNSL. Replaced as found.

This cache could have been horrible. The rocky ground and I was wearing shorts. Luckily I saw the cache in the second place I looked. Not sure if the magnets are doing their job properly. Other than that, all is fine with the cache.
