looked for it with my friends in the pouring rain! it was so well hidden, i was so excited to find it! TFTC
Out and about in the area after a medical appointment nearby. I found this cache first today. Thanks for bringing us here - across the road from a Restoration Australia home - Gasworks. TFTC TC3031
Out And about with Grub62, actually a nearby medical appointment brought us here. A nice find for Grub62. Thanks for placing and maintaining it TC3031 and TFTC.
Out and about today on the weekend enjoying the weather and the cache hunting. Today's focus was initially a CITO because I needed one on the 20th of the month. After that we had a nice lunch and gathered a few caches on a roundabout way home to avoid the toll roads.Nice quick find here and only a couple of people walking across the oval.Thanks TC3031 for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.
Score!Another great day out caching the inner city area.We are now on our way back to Flemington to drop nirgalagrin back to his car.It seems a shame to drive past this one without stopping. A nice quick find here at Arden St.I lived across the road in the 11 storey flats many years ago.Thank you for placing this cache and bringing back some memories.
Out with one of pinnacle333, we were caching in the North Melbourne area while others were going to a concert. Quick find as we had seen one these before . Thanks TC3031.
TFTC:). There were a few options that it could be. Luckily for me I have seen this kind of hide once before from past experience. A fun find.C.C
The last of three caches found during a wander around bits of North Melbourne.As I approached GZ today I had a little guess with myself as to what type of container this would be - two sprang to mind, and it was the second of these that I spotted once I was close enough to look properly. It's a bit of a classic that I always enjoy finding. Signed the log, thanks for the cache and for bringing me to this iconic location, TC3031.
We found Arden Oval on a nice quiet winter's day, meandering through the suburbs, seeking the occasional cache. We headed here early as we had a meeting across the oval.After a momentary headscratch, the find was madeThanks TC3031 for hiding this cache so that we could come and enjoy ourselves
Seen quite a few of these so knew what I would be looking for which helped in the dark
Quite a bit of rubbish in the area, so I was not hopeful. But good camo does win in these situations. TFTC!
14:55What to do after dropping the better half off for an appointment? Why, go for a walk or two and do some caching, of course.I parked on the edge of the oval, found my way in to the perimeter path, and found what the cache could really only have been at this location.No muggles to contend with at this time of day.Thanks, TC3031. The hide blends in neatly.#9077
TwoEms ardently enjoyed the night scene across Arden Streets Oval. On the left the city buildings blinked, on the right the Melbourne Star shined a three point crown, and right in the middle was a bright green glowing sewing machine. Thank you for the cacheand the pleasant find.

TFTC! 25 June 2024 4:31:00PM 8210 thanks to TC3031 for the cache! Quick find on approach with the North womens training at the moment.
It is a long time since I have heard of this oval. Mrs Papi's grandparents were fanatical about their football so she spent a lot of time here. The cache was seen as we approached which was great as it was rather chilly. Thanks for placing the cache for all to enjoy.
In the city today for some after-work caching with Geoturtle37 and J of GJMMelb before dinner and catch-up with pwala. Managed to get a parking spot (albeit slightly up on the kerb) close to gz, which only left a small steep hill to climb, then a quick find at gz, just as the sun begins to set.Thanks for bringing us here by placing this cache, TC3031 ~~
Out for a late arvo of caching with OzHockeyChick and GeoTurtle37, on the way to a puzzling night at pwala's, this cache was next and OHC walked straight up to the cache, spotting from a distance. I record all my finds on "wee note" on my phone but sometimes it converts to hilarious text ... this one it typed "Upholderable health plate on (place where cache is hidden) Here's some to look straight up to it yeah"..... ummmm .... ok .... lucky I am logging the day after so I actually remember where it was lol !! TFTC TC3031 - GJMMelb
Great location for a sneaky cache, Favorite Point given. Well played TC3031. TFTC.
After going to head office for work just down the road, I came here for a quick park and grab before heading back home.
With a couple of hours to burn before the first train I walked part way home and did some caching on April Fools morning. No fooling here. TFTC
After joining in the weekly Sunday kyudo practice at the Recreation Centre, we went for a quick walk to get this cache. Nice easy find, and a good one for introducing a few friends to the wonderful world of geocaching. TFTC
Once upon a time it would have taken me a while to find such a cache. Not this time though.
Home of my AFL team, nice to stop in here today. The grass has been replaced over the summer so the finishing touches being put on the paint work for the team to return soon.I've seen one of these types of containers before so knew exactly what to look for! TFTC
Great vantage point, even if I'm not a north Melbourne fan (go the Doggies!). Found a similar one recently closer to the city so spotted it on the approach. Tftc
Went on a mini caching adventure on the Sunday morning of this heatwave long weekend. Picked up this cache today.TFTC 
Was in the area visiting family and this cache wasn't far away from were they were staying. Cache was located on approach to ground zero. Thankfully a nearby muggle was just out of view being hidden by the nearby structure.
Bloody brilliant hiding spot - was about to give up. My first ever! Thanks so much
Found one like this before, so as soon as I hit the GZ I could tell right away. Thanks heaps
Myself and my family frequently visit this oval to run, walk and give our dog some exercise. It took me two attempts to find this one.Thanks to previous posts, I was magnetically drawn. to and more prepared the second time and found it very quickly. TFTC

Seems to be a favourite spot to stop and have a bite to eat. The munching muggle ignored me and I ignored the muggle so all went well. TFTC
Found this one by accident when we were waiting to watch the NYE Fireworks with our family. TFTF!
Christmas Day is either ridiculously hot or pouring rain. It looks like its likely to be the later this year.I had tried this cache about a week ago but there were people having lunch sitting on GZ. No surprises there was no one here this time!Thanks TC3031 for adding this cache to the worldwide collection for us all to enjoy.

Found by The EmpireAs I approached Arden Street, the first thing that caught my eye was the imposing grandstanda timeless structure that has witnessed decades of triumphs and challenges. The grandstand, with its classic architecture, exudes an aura of nostalgia, hinting at the rich history that unfolds within the oval's boundaries. Thanks for the cache TC3031.-M
Thanks to TC3031 for this hide.The oval resembles a huge sandpit today with the resurfacing works being done.A quick find for suscoe.
Accompanied with ALL7, after visited North Melbourne shop and small history, nice walked to GZ, easy spot to signed the log by stamp together. TFTC 
Out for an evening scooter around Melbourne to cleanup some caches in central Melbourne. It was a bit difficult to try and navigate and drive the scooter at the same time so I just tried to remember the basic turns and intersections and only buggered it up a few times. A great night out with minimal muggle interactions. Thanks to the local COs for a great time.
A very nice Parker, made the find After Dark On a 10 day trip to Australia, visiting Sydney, Cairns, and Melbourne and getting some caches during the trip. Visiting from Chicago. TFTC!
Out and about again, Im in Victoria continuing the quest for more interstate caches. Weather was ok so made the most of the time here with a bit of sightseeing too.Found a variety of hides and in different areas which made for a nice day. Generally quick finds todayThanks to all the COs for the hides I found.
Found by caughtatwork on 22/10/2023 at 4:34:00 PMThe cache sits about 12-15 feet up high nowadays. A local implement was used to assist in retrieval. The cache needs some TLC as the magnets have come unstuck and prefer the pole to the container. A better lue will be required as the greater mass of the pole will always break them away from the hide itself. Replacecd where we found it, but good luck to those in the future.Took nothing, left nothing.Thanks for placing this geocache here for us to find today, for without those who like to hide geocaches, there would be nothing around for those who like to find geocaches.*Overall Experience: 3*GAFF1
Rated: for Overall Experience
Tftc, found with fourtwelve on our way into the city for a stage show. #7 for today
In Melbourne for work so up early I decided to catch a tram out of town and go for a lovely big walk grabbing some caches. I love exploring the inner city. So much happening and so different to where I live. Thanks for the cache and fun! As I approached I correctly guessed the cache hide. Nicely done.
