Visiting from the Great White North

Only in the city for a day so I’m trying to log as many caches as I can. My final cache in Melbourne for a long time but I have to say it was a fun day of caching. Some really creative caches and a real cool TB hotel.

TFTC as always

Extremely easy to find attached is a picture of the screwed up long book to prove that I've been there tftc

First time finding a cache in Melbourne on one of these. HK has many like this and they are always occupied by muggles. TFTC.

Found it

Lots of muggles around!

Minty fresh!

Easy find, tftc!

Good hint, well hid

Mint spot to hang out

Found, interesting spent longer than we should

Found it blends in well

Good hide

Find 22 of 29 along with 1 DNF and 23 Ad Lab locations on a 25km bike ride around Melbourne, including a lap of Albert Park, which we last rode around in 2012 BC (before caching).

Not sure about the last two logs as the last paper log is from 21/04. A quick find once we looked properly!

TFTC giggida!

Quickly spotted but couldn’t get to it

TFTC

The last few caches before we fly home

Fresh

Found

Log book has seen better days, but another kind cached has put in some paper to assist. Thanks for the hide.

found it, just avoided some muggles. the log book is basically destroyed I put a bit of paper as a temporary log until owner can fix! tftc

The log book in this cache has been badly water damaged.

Minty fresh!
TFTC

Easy to find but the log is not in good condition! TFTC

So nice to discover Australian bowling! TFTC!

Quick find was soggy though TFTC

Thanks, found it, yes the log was wet.

Log was wet so didn't bother trying to sign. Easy find, you just have to be subtle given how busy the path is

Log is wet need to be replaced. TFTC

Serious water damage on the log book will need to be replaced but TFTC

The log is rather wet.
Tftc

Tftc

Tftc. Quick retying of already tied shoelaces and then retrieved it. Unfortunately the log was waterlogged and we were unable to sign.

A good find with the coords spot on. The log proved to be totally unusable due to dampness. So we thoroughly dried the plastic bag and replaced the damaged log with a sheet of dry paper. TFTC

Read the hint, which helped.
Thanks for the info.

Fun spot

In Marvellous Melbs for the silly season so inbetween birthdays and merry ho ho Xmas festivities the trusty treadles aka my MTB provides respite and a great mode of transport to explore the city and beyond. Having said that it is melting hot but New Years Day proved to be the perfect quiet enough day to do a search at GZ. Todays mission apart from sporty exercise includes an LGA mission - need 5 more for Port Phillip. TFTC and the fun.

Out and about with My good caching mate Omegaman1971, there are always plenty of laughs while we are turning caches into smiles.

This is one of the caches found today.

Thanks giggida for the cache.

Found by Omegaman1971

Out with Rebel Acts, possibly caching for the last time this year.
So happy that the weather is cooler today after the last few hot days this week.

This place is so different when it's not F1 time, but still did my best F1 impression whilst driving around.


Cheers for the cache giggida

Great hide, cool container! As other people have said the logbook inside is wet, needs to be replaced. TFTC

logbooks super wet but nice easy find

Easy find

Found it! Great cache! Coordinates were spot on.

But, the cache book is wet. Needs replacing I'd say

Cheers

A quick find and smiley face on our first visit to St Kilda. We are going to see a friend from Sydney in a lifting competition at the Crest on Barkley.

Visiting OZ for a few months and enjoying the Geocache.

TFTC SL greetings from Jimena de la Frontera Cadiz Spain

TFTC logbook was wet because there was a hole in the bag it was in, may need maintenance

Found it. Log is wet. TFTC

Took a bit longer to find than we'd hoped but thanks to the rain, not a lot of muggles tonight.

Find #6484

Lucky to have another work trip to MEL, this time based on the south side, so making the most of the opportunity to enjoy walking around and e plotting the city on foot. Especially good for some bonus caching relaxation.

Minty seat indeed.

Thanks so much giggida for getting me out and about, and for highlighting this spot

Im over in Melbourne for a work trip and decided to grab a couple while out and about.

Many thanks to giggida for placing and maintaining Sporty loop: bowls and bikes. I found it, I signed it, and put it back as found.

Found! Just got to sit here for a while and wait till they are less eyes round before I open it up and add my name to the record… TFTC

Log book very wet and plastic bag a little ripped and not waterproof. Lots of eyes around but luckily most looking at their phones!

Found it!

Log very wet

I'm very slowly making my way around the sporty loop. Hopped off the tram early today to pick this quick find up. Signed a damp logbook, but otherwise all good here. TFTC from Tennessee, USA

Nice rainy day to be out geocaching! Tftc
The log book is soaked.

We have slowly been working on completing the "Sporty loop" series over the past year or so and with the weather finally taking a break from all the rain, we decided to come back out here to see if we could find the last two in the series.

This was our first stop. After a nice walk around the lake we decided to explore this part of the park. Once we got to GZ we spotted the obvious beacon and shortly after the cache.

With lots of muggles out enjoying the weather we had to put our stealth skills to the test. However, we were able to retrieve the cache, sign the log, and replace it without any one noticing.

Thanks for the fun today and TFTC.

Cache Maintenance Status:

The cache container was in ok shape, the attachment mechanism still seemed strong, but the logbook was quite wet.

Cache found, logbook stamped. Thanks

Tftc! It's a bit wet and we weren't able to write our names on the Lil note book

Found !!
Log book soggy

GZ was occupied when I arrived, so I did some meditation nearby and then arose to find the way clear.
Easy grab. As others have said, the log is soaked, but I managed to scrawl my pseudonym and a date.
I had to wait a lot longer to replace the cache.
Thanks

Found it
Lost my pen but was out for a walk and was determined to find one more for the day

Book inside has been wet and needs to be replaced

Found it! Description really helped

#153 Take a seat and relax, for me this is the pit stop from starting at MSAC, and a great rest at that.

Logbook is nice and dry, and I dropped an official Adobe popsocket in there for anyone that likes popsockets and Photoshop.

The cache is much easier to find when you're sitting, and not floating around. Also great camopaint, perfect.

Checked today and cache is still there in same place.

Longer than expected

Looks like this is missing again - will replace soon
