Looked here then there then finally there and found it! Thanks to BernieH for the fun and the adventure.
When I see this place, I said oh no its hard to find in evening before almost dark I found it! Yay..._.._.\ \./ /....\ \../ /_._...\ \/ | | |..|___.|_.|_.|..(___(_) .|...|. TFTC .|..|5:56pm|. by GSalomon7
Looked around everywhere I thought it could be, unfortunately a DNF for the Brandon family TFTC
Could have taken a long time with all those rocks. My 6yr old had great luck and got it almost straight away!
Found with icw. The planting of indigenous species here has been so successful that it is keeping invasive weeds at bay in many sections. I pulled out a few unwelcome interlopers while icw signed the log. Tftc.
Quick find tonight what walking the dog. Very little geocaching for me this year, but nice to get out for a little hunt. Thanks BernieH
Out for the day with ConnieandRick enjoying a stroll around this reserve, finding caches including this one as we go.
Out with TIZ13, this area made for a nice walk at the end of our caching day. This was in TIZ13's hands so quick, it was impressive.
I haven't been out this way very much, so I headed to the Library event, then further afield. Another quick find.
My thanks to BernieH for the cache.

Looks like this place could do with a CITO. So much plastic in the waterways. Thank you BernieH for placing and maintaining Tarralla Creek Wetlands - Dry Bank for us to find today.
thank you for the lovely geocaching adventure today with my partner Detstar.
Your caches were well placed and led us to some lovely spots for walking or biking.
We had a blast seeking them out and truly enjoyed the experience.
Your efforts and creativity made it extra special. Thanks again!

Well with the new ["Celebrating the solstice"](https://www.geocaching.com/blog/2023/06/celebrating-the-solstice-a-global-holiday/#:~:text=In%20celebration%20of%20the%20June,June%2018%E2%80%9324%2C%202023.) souvenir up for grabs, I really wanted to get out and find a bunch of caches today so I wouldn't have to stress towards the end of the week.
So I decided to target some of these lower difficulty caches after work, so that I could try and boost my numbers. This one was my 5th cache of the night, and by the time I got here the sun had completely set and I was searching in the dark.
However, with it being a cool night, the area was completely muggle free, which made for a nice uninterrupted search.
I was able to hone in on the correct beacon very quickly once I arrived at GZ and I was here only a minute or two before I signed the log, replaced the cache, and was back on my way to the next.
A big thanks goes to [BernieH](https://www.geocaching.com/p/?guid=89870498-60cc-466a-9b1e-758fc6df7221&wid=11294692-7eee-4ef2-8d23-07e6a215ff31&ds=2) for the fun tonight. TFTC.
**Cache Maintenance Status**
The cache container was in good shape and the logbook was clean and dry with plenty of room for future cache finders to sign.

It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon to go for a leisurely walk out this way along the wetlands. While I'm out here let's see if there are any caches to be found. Sure enough there was. It was an easy to find and discrete between people walking past.
Thanks for the cache.

Another quick find on my afternoon Croydon tour this afternoon. Lovely area, enjoyed looking around. TFTC
It was dark, incredibly foggy and 8 degrees outside. What was I thinking? I spied this cache away from a residential area so figured it was a good one for torchlight.
The gardens look quite new with fresh mulch and the cache was soon spotted, thankfully.
Log signed and back to the car to crank up the heat.
Thanks BernieH for adding this cache to the worldwide collection for us all to enjoy.

This cache was exposed so I hid it back into its surroundings a little better. Thanks for bringing us to this reserve, the newly developed landscaping seems to be working well and the ducks love it too. My childhood neighbourhood is Wantirna and I visited Croydon quite a bit, so it was nice to visit familiar territory again with new upgrades!
Fifth find for the day with Geoffsaintgg after having lunch nearby. Cute little reserve that we wouldn’t have known about.
Found quickly in the most likely spot. Thanks for this cache BernieH.

I decided to pick up the caches I had not yet found between Croydon and Bayswater. This cache was a quick and easy find along the wetlands walk.
I haven’t been around this way for ages. Looks like they’ve re-done the whole area. It looks fabulous. Thank you for show me this place
It was really nice but the rocks tooth out a lot so that’s how we found it but now I made a little bit more difficult than adding some more natural stuff on there but I’m not gonna give everything away by
Another quick and easy find in this lovely little nature reserve, nice view from here too.
Happy to report that the cache is in good condition and the log nice and dry.
