Tanks for the trams. Just grabbing a few caches whilst in the area before I head back home to beat the heat today. Trams are great around the city, but around cars and busy streets can slow down traffic sone times. Great quick cache here. TFTC.
Found at 11:33I was dropping off my son in the area and wasn't in a rush so I decided to come across for a look. The GPS was trying to lead me astray so I put it away and searched in the only place the cache could be.Thanks labrat1988 for the cache
Needing a cache for the day I pulled by here late evening after running some errands. Just out of view of nearby muggles I commenced a search and found the little thing after not too long. Log was a little damp and could do with a zip lock. I like trams...
Find 5216 on August 15, 2024 Found while nearby for a work function. Was a bit nervous finding it but thankfully a quick find.TFTC labrat1988
Really not sure how anyone saw this from the footpath, my gps was out so I ended up having a seat by the water tank to collect my thoughts and presto!TFTC
Found it. But I think it had been cleared up with the rubbish. We re hide it back where the map says.
Ive had to use more of my local emergency caches than I would like of late, but today I needed a quick find and this was it.I spotted the cache from the footpath so made quick work of signing it and replaced it so it in the same place but fixed part of the area that was exposing it.A big thanks goes to labrat1988 for taking the time to add Tanks for the trams to the geocaching map for us all to find and enjoy.----------------------------------------------------------Are you ready for Victorias next big event?Join us for Victorias first ever *Block Party* to celebrate 25 years of geocaching.**When:** March 22 - 23, 2025**Where:** Hume Global Learning Centre, SunburyLog your will attend at [**GCAP417: The Sunbury Event** ](https://coord.info/GCAP417) Visit our [**Block Party website** ](https://geocachingvictoria.com.au/the-sunbury-event) for more details on the exciting lineup of events and activities as they are released!
We occasionally go to a monthly meeting with our LEGO Group in Irene St, just behind this building and usually look for caches in the area before we head home to The Island. I was surprised to find this one, which I was sure wasnt there earlier. Looking at the publication date, I was right. We hadnt been to a meeting so far this year. There is minimal parking in the area, but late Sunday afternoon we had no trouble finding a park within easy walking distance and I got out to search. The find was made relatively quickly, but I had to keep an eye out for Muggles walking past. Thanks for placing this cache here, Labrat1988.

I was in Preston to attend a meeting but before that I had time to make the search. A quick find was made of a cache in good condition. Thank you labrat1988 for placing and maintaining this cache.
Parking is hard, best found on foot. Not sure what the nearby saw was all about. TFTC
I found this cache today on my Mega Walk #17 - a 30,000 step walk firstly around Coburg, then from Preston to Reservoir and back to Bell. Now back at Bell, My first search was too far right. My second search was too far left but my third search was just right. Thanks from D B-A
Just when I thought about giving in I had another go in finding the cache. Thank you labrat1988 for bringing me here. I don't know how many times I traveled on the tram past this depot over the years.Greytiger
Short hunt, was expecting a themed cache hereThanks labrat1988 for Tanks for the trams#6119
To find my first cache in Australia was easy, hope to find more will not be significantly more difficult. Thanks!
Quick find on our way home - nice hide TFTC - thought we should do this one at night
Out with au.fait & xambo4u in the Preston area. Finding a spot to park the car was quite difficult, but not so to find the cache. Great they are using the old depot to restore trams now. Thanks labrat1988.
Out and about with echidna44 and au.fait clearing out some in the north. Parking is tricky here with trams etc. Parked down side street and did the walk. Nice easy find. thanks for the cache labrat1988
On a day when the weather was not too hot or too cold but just right as Goldilocks would say to the 3 bears, it was 3 geocachers heading out for a day of fun. Xambo4u joined echidna44 and au.fait to tackle a slightly ambitious list A quick find here. Loved the name of this cache. Very appropriate TFTC labrat1988
Tftc labrat 1988. A warm summer night, a hotel bed, a restless night. Opportunity knocks for an early morning pre-dawn walk.I think this is the newest cache I've ever found. Quick find, back to motel now.
TFTC! 14 February 2024 7:21:06pm 7255 thanks to labrat1988 for the cache! Quick find today
I was at a meeting nearby so decided to stop here and find this newly published. After searching random places, I stopped, had a think and realised what I had overlooked. I then made a quick find and was on my way home in my air-conditioned car.Thank you labrat1988 for this cache.
I mosied up here after a kitty-litter run for a nice quick find of the very bold hide at 14:00.TNLNSL, although our first trackable into the cache geocoin had a visit to mark the occasion. Thanks labrat1988.
It was a perfect caching day, not too hot and not too cold. This was the first cache for the day, and I got lucky, as it was in the first place I checked. I hope the rest of the day is like this. Great spot for a cache.
Joint {FTF} - Sitting down to eat tea when bunadoorian's phone pings - new trad cache has been published! Do we or don't we. Finished tea and then looked again - still not found. Off we go. After a search of the area - bunadoorian has his hands on the cache. TFTC and for placing another piece for us all to find - labrat1988.

Grub62 and I saw this cache pop up and debated Wether to venture out after finishing our dinner. We ended up making the excursion and arrived at GZ. After a bit of a search we eventually found the cache and were delighted to make an [equal FTF] . Thanks for the entertainment and TFTC.
