After doing the virtual, we were off to find these wp's. Well I thought it was going to be another DNF, when I read other logs, we widen are search. Wazza9 located it, stamped log and replaced my est 16 mtrs out. Thanks to Team crackers . Another LGA down.
 
26-Nov-24
TFTC,In the area to catch up with a friend who I haven't seen for almost 14 years and build my LGA count. Enjoyed the walk and information gained. Found nothing at GZ, read logs and went for a walk. Found another object the same 15M away.Visited trackables and added a favourite.

The limited opening hours for the garden has always made this one a bit tough to try and find, as this one is a bit of a drive from work. However, I got off work early last week and was able to work my way through majority of the stages. So with getting off work a bit early again today, I decided I would come down and finally finish this one off. With doing, majority of the leg work on my last trip I was able to head straight to **"Bunjil"** this time. I will be honest I made this one harder than it should have been, as I actually really struggled to find the required information at **"Bunjil"**. However perseverance, eventually paid off and I was able to gather the last required information I needed to calculate the coordinates for GZ. Then it was a nice short walk to GZ, and a shorter search before the cache was found and the logbook signed.A big thanks goes to [Team Crackers](https://www.geocaching.com/p/?guid=3e759bb5-6c22-465a-adbd-913815d537ab&wid=dcb73243-be5b-46d4-8959-0acac330e1db&ds=2) for the fun today. 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.

A lovely stroll through a well kept area. Some lovely specimens here. The drizzle made it all the more special. The smell was amazing. Not sure if we stuffed the numbers up but found the cache thanks to brilliant hint about 20m out! So fan out. Found on the Mega Capital Geobash coastal loop via Adelaide - Barrington - coast to Mexico City loop. A lot of caches and white line fever was sweated out. Thanks Team Crackers and clear skies from TeamAstro. Cache the planet! Some logs signed as TAD as teamed up with Tenkae and Deanside for additional fun. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Lovely multi and beautiful gardens since the rain, the scent of the gums and tea trees was so refreshing. Cache a little bit out by 20m from my coords but the hint definitely helpedCaching around on the road trip that encompasses Barrington Tops, Sydney, the Easter Geobash Mega in Canberra then the return via who knows where to homeThanks Team Crackers for contributing to this great game for myself and others to enjoy.

Great to grab another oldie. I always thought this series was wooden playgrounds! Certainly in some nice locations. Thanks for the cache here.
 
26-Feb-24
Been to the playground here multiple times but never really ventured past the duck pond. Nice for this cache to take us to other parts of the gardens. TFTC

This week I suddenly had to go to Australia to visit my family. So I took the plane from Amsterdam and flew to Melbourne. Luckily there are also a lot of geocaches in Australia. I have found some nice caches and even was able to go to an event. I did not expect that I would be able to go to an event, so I was happy that there was an event nearby where I am staying. When the weather was too hot, I went to visit the caches early in the morning. Luckily most caches were easy to find. Thanks to all cache owners for placing and maintaining all caches. This was a lovely walk in the park.Thanks for the cache.

A nice stroll guided by the multi in gardens we havent visited before. Thanks for brining us here, cache all good at GZ

Not normally very good at multis but this one was fun and easy to complete. Thanks for a great wonder around the park.Logged as my 500th find.

Visiting Melbourne from Port Macquarie.Today we ventured to the Mornington Peninsula, primarily targeting mystery and multi caches. The mostly clear and warm weather was a pleasant change from the wet and cold conditions of the last couple days.Nice little walk through the gardens. The plaque at the last WP took way longer to find than it should but no trouble with the hide.Thanks for the cache
 
04-Dec-23
We loved walking around this small but magnificent Botanic Gardens. The sun is just setting and the bird calls are fantastic.We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and the cache.With the 3rd WP we would just like to mention that the plaque is difficult to find. It is on one of the longitudinal surfaces, of one in the group of rocks. Its crowded in by the spiky rush plants,Its also difficult to read so we took a photo and enlarged it to read the required information.TFTC

We weren't stumped

Had some time to kill and was close by, so grateful to have an excuse to wander these beautiful gardens - thank you
 
12-Nov-23
I was here early on a Sunday morning as I had to drop one of the kids at a basketball tournament in Mornington so I decided to cache my way back home. I always love a Wooden Work multi. I really enjoyed wandering though these gardens collecting the information. Cache was exactly where it should be.

Find # 13004

Found with sharkiefan.

After a big day yesterday we headed out east again, from Werribee that is. (And I'm very grateful that sharkiefan let me drag her out and about 2 days in a row to help me tick off more LGAs)

Today I managed to tick off, (and this list is in order) Kingston, Frankston, Greater Dandenong, Glen Eira, Bayside, Maroondah and Port Phillip. Finslly completing all LGAs in greater Melbourne area.
Yep a big trip indeed, for both of us.

After getting the info for the Virtual here I was off to get the multi.... "Wooden Work".
Well it was a great little walk in the park to get the info and the final. Whe worst part was the sun was shining and there were quite a few muggle families around and about enjoying it. but I managed the final grab unseen.

My calculations worked out as I enjoyed my stroll trying to warm up and enjoy the sun while it showed and lasted. Easy find at GZ couldnt resist this golden oldie.
 
09-Jun-23
It has been a long time since we have ventured over the bay to cache so with so many caches to choose from we settled with the interesting letterboxes, multis, solved puzzles and labcaches. Heading up the Mornington Peninsula after an overnight stop at Rye we enjoyed the scenery and the sunny day, not so much the wind however as well as learning some of the local history that the caches had to offer.

A wander around this lovely botanic gardens yielded us an interesting Virtual and an old cache placement, cannot get better than that on this sunny winters day.
Not sure if we interpreted something wrong with our numbers but our gz was out a bit. Thanks to the good hint however we made the find and signed the logbook.
Thanks Team Crackers for another in this brilliant series.
 
22-May-23
A lovely place to visit, I enjoyed the walk around the gardens, so peaceful. There were quite a few muggles walking around but didn’t spoil my fun. Thanks Team Crackers for placing the cache.
 
21-May-23
Tftf!
 
20-May-23
These gardens are just beautiful. It was a cool, dull, dry day, just perfect for wandering through some botanic gardens. The waypoints were visited and the final coordinates calculated. The cache was found after a short search. A very enjoyable multi.
 
20-Apr-23
Fun hunt
 
27-Mar-23
Today I’m out and about on trusty treadles on a monster LGA mission with the project of cleaning the slate of solved puzzles in the area so this is a bonus for lots of reasons. Location and extent of the gardens is a nice surprise - and the gates too.! And then it’s a 2004 cache! Wow. Thanks for the cache and the FUN! A fave for longevity
 
12-Mar-23
Found today. Great spot and clue
 
02-Mar-23
We found it and added some tiny treasures in it

Thanks for sharing.

Somehow I kind of stuffed the numbers but the ripper hint meant I found the cache, however the film canister was on the ground. I popped it back exactly where the hint said it should be. I really enjoyed the walk around this very pretty park.
Thanks for placing the cache Team Crackers.

Funny, I have been living 750m away but never knew these gardens were here. Thankfully geogachers know all the best local spots and this one is a gem!

I really enjoyed the walk through here and have a much better appreciation for the beautifully large gum trees throughout. Found myself a favourite tree near the GZ, which without knowing its location I had been smelling from the northernmost approach to bunjil. The lemon scented gum (thanks FCC for the signage) is a stunning assault on most of the senses and the green coloured trunk is spectacular.

GZ was calculated on a shady bench and had to wait until mugglefams moved on. Soon had cache in hand and signed log in a suitably coloured pen. TFTC and the most enjoyable wander through these gardens. Fav point for sure!
 
02-Jan-23
This place is amazing thank you for bringing me here now in my favourites list TFTC
 
02-Jan-23
On holidays at Rosebud and we drove back to Frankston so my son could continue his fortnightly plasma donation ritual. While he was busy I decided to search for a few caches.
It was a pleasant walk in the gardens, with the addition of some raindrops to cool me on this warm morning. It reminded me of my visits to gardens in Queensland.
I wandered along the various paths collecting the numbers that I needed and then made the short walk to a quiet spot where I found the log waiting for my name to be added to it.
Thank you Team Crackers for this cache.
 
31-Dec-22
We have been here before for some kids birthday parties but didn't venture far from the playground, so was nice to take a walk through the gardens. Plenty of birds around as well today which kept the little one entertained! TFTC
 
05-Dec-22
These gardens are lovely to walk around and being a Sunday late evening in Summer, it was not too busy at all. We found our answers and after my gps lead us round and round... we got to where we needed to be. This little adventure reminded me of adventurelabs, perhaps this was the former way of doing such things? Either way we enjoyed it, thanks!
 
22-Nov-22
What a nice little garden here. Answers picked up and the cache was easy to locate. Cheers

It's the first full day hanging out with Big Matt, cruising around seemingly arbitrary bits of outer Melbourne and beyond ahead of the [Whittlesea Mega-Event](https://coord.info/GC8EW40). I've been reasonably ignorant about the plan, and given I'm also the least familiar with the area, I'm not driving, so willingly along for the ride.

Having headed south to visit the beach (for geocaching purposes, of course), I noticed this park and two geocaches of interest in it. I insisted they be added to the itinerary next. Good thing it's a loose plan!

This geocache being both older and a multicache got my attention. We found a car park among the busy area and agreed the final might lead us back this way. The two of us wend our way through the paths (accidentally interrupting a couples photo-shoot at one point) collecting clues. I got slightly confused flipping between description and waypoints at one stage and dealt with a work phone call - but we got there. And even better, agreed on the final location!

What a nice place to roam around! Near GZ was where the photography had been, but thankfully they'd left. We had this area to ourselves and Matt made a quick find. All in good condition here, logbook signed at 11:15. Great to have such an old geocache to enjoy, and a tour of this lovely park. Thank you for this geocache, Team Crackers Smile
 
19-Nov-22
This cache was found today and brings our overall cache find tally to 12052.

Captain Terror and I were out and about finding caches and ticking off LGA’s and we visited this spot. The cache was quickly found in the sleeting rain. Not a nice day today.

Thanks Team Crackers for the cache.

Messaged CO and indeed the cache was missing! Cache had been replaced, and name is now in the new log!

Great little multi here, in a park that I didn’t know much about! Or honestly didn’t know existed! Joys of geocaching! Thanks to the CO for the location and for getting me to enjoy this park!
 
29-Oct-22
Came to check on this one and sure enough it had gone missing. We have replaced the log and container and is ready to be found.
 
23-Oct-22
Thanks for the walk around this park. First time here. Calculated the Gz easily enough, however a DNF today as my gz and hint seemed to match but no cache. Widened my search and didn’t come up with anything.

Came by today and have made the required adjustments and all should be good to go again.
 
06-Aug-22
Sorry I must have fat fingered a set of coordinates, then went on an unexpectedly long break.
Rechecked today and adjusted the page to suit.
(I left my GPS in WA so these coordinates are off a phone averaged so should be good enough to find what you need until we can get there with a GPS)
 
01-Jun-22
We were expecting to be back home in 2 to 3 weeks but friends in Geraldton have became worse with cancer and we are heading over there to give as much help as we can.
We hope to be back before the end of July but can not even promise that,
We hope this will be ok.
 
30-Apr-22
We realise this one has been off line for awhile but we are still in Far North Queensland enjoying a holiday.
We will get to repair this one as soon as we get back home.

### **OWNER MAINTENANCE REQUIRED PLEASE** ###

----------

Hi there Team Crackers,

It looks like this cache might need some attention, as one or more seekers have indicated there is an issue. The cache has been temporarily disabled, so as to remove it from search listings and discourage people from visiting this location until the issues/s with this cache can be addressed.

**You do need to respond in some way within 14 days, so others know you are on top of it, as well as indicating exactly what is happening with this placement - please don't let a lack of communication scuttle this listing.**

#What should you do now:-#
You have a number of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:-

- **Check On The Cache:-** Visit the cache and repair and/or replace or do whatever else is needed, post an [**Owner Maintenance log**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) indicating the cache has been checked and [**ENABLE your cache**](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ). Then sit back and wait for the logs of praise to roll in.

- **Place A Write Note Log::-** Reviewers don't have a crystal ball, so without your note on the cache page explaining that the site works are on-going, or you have been in hospital, or the area is in flood, they can't tell what is going on with the cache.
So please just post a note to the page (within 14 days) and when a Reviewer next looks at the listing, all will be fine for a little bit longer.
**Be sure to indicate the actual date that you expect to have it fixed so that everyone knows you are on top of it. If you have a long term unavailable cache (where you don't have an actual date) please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 4 to 6 weeks, so as to keep everyone up to speed.**

- **Adopt/Archive:-** If you don't plan on fixing it then you could consider passing it on to another geocacher by asking them to [**Adopt it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=54) or alternatively, you need to [**Archive it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=56), so it is removed from searches and someone else can have the spot. Don't forget to remove any remnants of your previously enjoyed cache too.

You might wonder what happens if you don't pick one of those. Well, if nothing happens, then a few weeks from today, when a Reviewer next looks at the cache page, it is likely that they will, unfortunately, have to de-list (Archive) on the basis that it has been abandoned.

Honestly, I'd rather you decide so please do something before then. Please don't send me an email but instead follow the information/advice posted above.

**JUST A TIP:-** Have you checked out the new Geocaching Dash Board designed to assist a Cache Owner in managing the caches they own? Have a read about it [**HERE.**](https://www.geocaching.com/blog/2020/07/welcome-to-the-cache-owner-dashboard/?newsletter=PM) You will find your very own dash board [**HERE**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/owner?utm_source=geocaching&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=COD).

Thanks for your cooperation,

Bunjil

Today's main task was to finish collecting the answers for **RSL Artillery Wherigo** and that required a visit to Seaford and Cranbourne. On my way between the two, I took a bit of a detour to come to the gardens to check out this Multi and the nearby Virtual.

All was fine at WP1... but then at WP2, it all ground to a halt. There was a sign... but it had no dates on it. Something had clearly changed! After wandering in circles for a while, I was about to give up... but fortunately I read **dusty02's** log. The sign can still be found... but further out that you would normally expect!

Circling around, I eventually found a suitable sign and so I was back on track. With WP2 sorted, that just left WP3 and the cache itself... and no problems there!

Thanks **Team Crackers** for a great old cache...
 
10-Mar-22
This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.
 
04-Feb-22
WP2 gave us some grief because the sign appears to be missing. On our way back to the car we stumbled over the sign, some 75 m from where it was supposed to be. Used the info and went to GZ, about 20m out, but with a good hint easily found.
 
21-Dec-21
With Vic now open and all our post Covid arrangements met we thought we had better get into so over due cache maintenance.
The garden have again been re modeled and the Wooden Works removed, so we found another place to hide the container and re worked the cache page to suit.

Enjoy the walk in these great gardens
 
21-Dec-21
cache is all good to go again
 
18-Oct-21
looks like we will be allowed out of our 15k limit next week. We will get to this one not long after.
 
08-Sep-21
Still unable to check on this cache as it is out side our 5k lock down limit.
Will check as soon as possible.
 
22-Aug-21
cache couldn’t be assess due to area being fenced off due to a tree falling. Also seat has been moved.
 
22-Aug-21
It looks like this one needs some work, we can't do anything to this lock down is finished as it is over 5kms away but we will get there when we can,
 
02-May-21
Had some time to kill and was in the area so seemed like a perfect way to spend it. Cache easy to find once I realised it was in my hand. Thanks for this one
 
21-Mar-21
This was another great Wooden Work cache in a lovely location. Thank you for placing and maintaining this cache for so long. A favourite for me.
 
21-Mar-21
While today was initially supposed to be fine and sunny, it turned out to be a little drizzly with light occassional showers. But that didn't stop us from having a lovely day anyway.
We enjoyed the wander around these lovely gardens, and this cute little secret garden.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache, Team Crackers
 
21-Mar-21
Despite it being a wet day OzHockeyChick, GeoTurtle37 and I stuck to our plans to adventure out for a few caches and adventure labs in the south eastern suburbs.

A lovely park to visit and some cool sculptures to look at. A nice wander through the park to the final where we soon found the cache. Spotted some cool trees that looked like a whole heap of creatures hiding in the branches.

Thanks Team Crackers for the cache.
 
21-Mar-21
We were discussing that we believe this might be the first one of these that we haven't done at a playground. A different location but still a great theme. Thanks for bringing us here and for placing this cache and maintaining it for so long.

George Pentland Botanic Gardens was our second stop on what promised to be a busy day, attempting to log more types than I ever have.

I played chauffeur most of the time.

The nearby Virtual hide was our main objective, but I wasn't going to go past another Wooden Works, so leafotwind and n0w0rries indulged the slight detour (they'd both already logged it). Gathering data and getting to the final coordinates was, thankfully, nice and quick, as was getting the cleverly disguised cache in hand... though it took a sec more to realise that I had it in my hand.

Thanks, Team Crackers, for another fun one, and keeping it in play since 2004.

Heymissjo and I spent the hours between school drop-off and pick-up caching between Mt Eliza and Frankston. I mean, what else would you do on such a gorgeous sunny day?!

We targetted this smiley to add to HMJ's Jasmer dates, and had a final caching window for the day between lunch and school pick-up.

Such a lovely park!
I didn't know it was here.

Heymissjo and I appreciated the beautiful surrounds as we made our way to WP1. We weren't the only ones enjoying the tranquility here - plenty of muggle families were relaxing throughout the park too. At WP1 we were grateful to pause in the shade briefly to do the necessary maths.
Then off we went again...

A fascinating waypoint, perfect coords and a groovy hide - what more could you want from a multi?!

Thanks so much, Team Crackers, for bringing us to these lovely gardens. We had a very enjoyable visit. We look forward to bringing the Minis here for a picnic at some point.

Great day to get out and cache. The sunshine is gorgeous and being midweek there are not many muggles around. The Welder and I enjoyed the serenity. A cute little multi, in a lovely park. A new date for my Jasmer too. Thanks for the cache.

Nice day out for geocaching. Went with my geo friends and took a stroll through this beautiful park. Although not always good for geocachers, there were lots of muggles around, and it was nice to see all the families and kids having a picnic and playing. Being my first multi, I was a little nervous, but with some brain power combined, we were in the right place for collecting clues. After a bit more of a walk, we found GZ. Nice hide!! Really enjoyed this multi cache, thanks for putting it together.
 
01-Nov-20
Out with my geocaching buddy Jetsons23 and my geo kid SowaMLE continuing our adventures on what is a nice sunny warm day. Lots of people out and about after our new freedoms from recent restrictions due to Covid-19.

A pleasant walk through this park after completing the nearby Virtual. Jetsons23 hadn't done a Multi before so I thought I'd show her what it was all about. We found ourselves in a lovely area where we could sit down and work out the numbers required for GZ. Hoping our numbers were right we set off. Luckily for us GZ and cache were located successfully and quickly too with Jetsons23 finding it no trouble at all.

The cache itself was ok however the log book unfortunately was putrid/manky. So we had a spare log sheet and a plastic bag to offer it some protection and replaced it.

A great end to our caching day and now it was time to make our way back home. SowaMLE had a great time climbing some trees and looking at the ducks in the lake.

Thank you for the cache here Team Crackers
 
30-Oct-20
Covid-19 restrictions are now lifted and Geocaching is allowed so it is back on line.
 
02-Aug-20
Due to the new Covid 19 restrictions Geo Caching is not a reason to be out so we are disabling our caches untill safe to enable again.
Please stay home and be Safe.

Found but didn’t have pen will go back though. Was very well hidden really enjoyed this one Tftc
 
06-Jun-20
Found again, just shy of a decade since I first found it <3 Cache needs a little attention after the recent rain, cache container is a little rusted and the book inside has become a little water damaged, but a wonderful stroll down memory lane nonetheless! Thanks for the cache again!
 
14-Mar-20
We came to this park to do the new virtual cache in the same park. I found that this was also in the park, so resolved to do it too. It certainly allowed us to explore this wonderful park. The Wooden Works are amazing and a real surprise! The seat at the the first waypoint was a welcome comfort to utilise to do the counting, then the calculations. Another pleasant stroll through the park and we were in a different habitat with beautiful old trees. A short search and I had the cache , cleverly constructed and camouflaged was in my hand. Unfortunately the log was put in a plastic bag that was too big and stuffed so tight it was impossible to close the outer container and water has got in and the log was wet and almost mouldy. I have taken the bag out - it was torn and useless anyway. I’m sorry I did have a spare bag on me and the log book needs drying out anyway. A maintenance visit would be a good idea. It would be a pity to see any of this series disappear.

Found by The Empire + H
A lovely drive through the south eastern suburbs, shopping and grabbing a few caches along the way. Here at the park for the newish virtual cache, thought we'd do a classic Wooden Work. A quick find once we got some decent co-ords into the GPSr. Thanks for the cache Team Crackers.

TFTC. WE did not know about these gardens, but stopped here as we made our way to Wheelers Hill for the nearby virtual cache. WE had left Maryborough this morning and making our way via Heidelberg, Mornington and Frankston to Wheelers Hill. Not the most direct route, but one that gave us a new Ausmer date, and the final LGAs required for the LGA Challenge.
We made the required calculation and Linda made the find at GZ. After I had my hand on it, but failed to look properly. A FP.
 
06-Jan-20
This was a bit of an adventure, but we had sometime to kill.
Gathered the info, did the math.
Took awhile at GZ to find the cache.
But find it we did. Tftc
 
03-Jan-20
Well!
Wasn't THAT an adventure! Arrived about 6.30 and left right on closing. OK NOT all was looking for one actual cache but I'll give you a tip... A lot of it was!
I went for a round and round version of caching rather than the direct route we tend to do and it is the CO fault for preying on the unknown by the uninitiated out of towner!!
Had a lot of fun sitting standing walking photographing looking (did I mention looking!) and looking
I definitely went the scenic route and was JUST about to msg CO (or give up but I'd come this far!) when a thought occurred. Love those last second brain snaps.
.... And there it was... Safe and secure but very very damp log needing love and completely filled with critters. Urgh. Cleaned the critters out, duly stamped book and replaced. Yey. On my way ...butbwhich way? I'd gone round and round so many times I was flumuzzled.. And needed to look down for directions out... TYFTC SLTNLN fave cos it's the only thing you can do after an adventure like that!
 
03-Jan-20
Thanks for bringing me to these gardens. I live in the area but have not been here for at least 15 years and I forgot how amazingly beautiful it is.
 
14-Sep-19
Thanks! Although it was a little wet on the day (belated log) we had a nice walk through the gardens.
 
07-Sep-19
I’ve been really wanting to stop and get this one for ages but since I’m not a very mobile person it had to be a time when I had enough time to stop here and there and this was a perfect day for it! Wow what a really nice little park! It was so pretty and had a good amount of seats for me to rest on along the way and to take in the scenery! gnome5580 has a good time taking some really nice photos of the “wooden work” and the totem poles close to GZ. We found the cache easily and signed but Gnome5580 tried to find a way to waterproof it a bit although the best she could do was to wrap the whole thing in a ziplock bag and hopefully that helps it since the log sheet was absolutely soaked and hard to sign. This was definitely a very pretty place to explore and all the new additions to it have, I’m sure, made it even better. We loved the huge variety of native plants, art and wildlife throughout the park and took some really nice photos we especially liked the beautiful drake with his bright colours and seemed quite happy to pose for photos lol. TFTC and the nice little walk, a favorite point for how much I enjoyed the walk and the scenery!

Found. Horticultural hint got me there. It was a bit damp though i was able to log easy enough.
Lovely time of afternoon with the lorikeets and other birds in full song and no muggles to speak of.

Found while waiting for my mum to finish her doctors visit.
Collected the numbers, while a local muggles and there kid were looking at the wood work.
Then moved on to muggle free ground zero, to sign the log.
Nice area, the locals are lucky.

Logbook is a bit damp, But still could sign my name.
Thank you for the hide Team Crackers

What an absolutely delightful treasure this place is.
Thank you Team Crackers for placing this cache and highlighting this area.
I spent over an hour wandering around and exploring the diverse sections within.
Added bonus of a geocache find as well. Smile
Added to our list of favourites. [^]

After much fruitless searching I realised that I had the co-ordinates wrong...(in my defence there was a sprinkler going at Fern Gully so I kinda rushed this bit to avoid getting wet!) Anyway, after 40 mins it was back to the seat, and a proper set of co-ordinates led me to the spot easy enough. A great hide! Thanks!

Lovely sunny day as I need to fill in some time waiting to pick up wife from hospital.
Found the requirements and did the calcs. A nice stroll to GZ and the nicely crafted cache holder was found without problem.
Log signed and all back safe again.
Thanks for this great little multi in a lovely setting.

Google maps stopped working just after I figured out the new coordinates. Better luck next time!

I headed to the first waypoint of this cache and worried that I might not be able to find a seat. But there it was, just around the corner. Just what I needed after a morning of caching. So I sat down and did the required calculations. I soon had a plausible GZ and set off. I searched in the wrong spot, before deciding to check a spot where I would hide a cache. I made a quick find. Very nice camouflage job Team Crackers

So, this was my 2nd ever solved multi, but first collected.
After a lovely day waiting for an ultrasound appointment, I thought I'd have a go at this quick multi. Had a seat at wp1 to collect co-ords, then a short stroll to GZ.
Nice camo.
Have been to a birthday party at this park before but not discovered the rest of the beautiful area.
TFTC!

As I'd started off being 3 months behind in my logging I am desperately trying to catch up and am mass logging to do so. Red Face

I'd come to Melbourne for the 2017 Victorian Cache of the Year Awards day and ended up staying for about 5 days SurprisedCool
Most of the nights were spent at the kindly kmace's place CoolSmile although the last couple I decided to spend in the car due to unforeseen caching circumstances that had me in strange areas RazzWink
Today I was determined to complete a multi that i had started last night but had horrendously messed upRed FaceSurprisedRed Face Seems tiredness really does play a part in how easily a problem gets solved!Razz[)]Wink[)]
11 Smile finds today and only 1 Sad DNF as I made my way back to Shepparton.

A gorgeous place to be on a hot day [^]Cool
I wandered in barefeet Cool, I patted dogsCool, I sat and enjoyed the artworks [^] and I made the find Smile... still in barefeet mind you Wink
The native violets are so pretty and smell so sweet [^]

Did not find it as I was foolishly wearing thongs (this was an unplanned geocaching experience) and felt it was a bit dangerous to walk through to. Will be going back in appropriate footwear soon!

I was in Frankston collecting puzzles and had just found my last one and I needed a bathroom. I googled public restrooms near me and it brought me here so I would have been crazy not to have done the multi here as well.

A nice walk to GZ where I utilised the available seating and set about getting my answers.

Another nice stroll to GZ under some awesomely creepy trees. One face full of cobweb later I had cache in hand.

Thanks for the well set up and easy to navigate multi.

Since moving from New Zealand I have been enjoying the area, exploring and finding caches. I usually cache on my own but sometimes I will collect my nephew stinky bob and my brother stinky tom who both enjoy this hobby.
A big thanks goes out to all the cachers and cache owners without whom this lifestyle would not be possible.
The caches I’ve found in Australia so far have for the most part all been in great condition. Keep up the good work.

We had literally walked past this spot to get to the animal sculptures as there was no parking at the top end.. great find

When I found myself in the area today I thought I might try for this multi. I have fairly good luck with Team Crackers caches although the fact it hadn’t been found in over three months made me think that perhaps there had been a few unlogged DNFs and the cache was MIA.
After following the instructions (and let me say spring has definitely sprung given the wonderful perfume in the air) I quickly formulated a set of good-looking coords. So bearing in mind the admonishment to be aware of muggles I took my time in leaving the path for a final approach to GZ.
My fear were unfounded, cache was still there in it’s fantastic hide. Good job that, it blends in with the environment completely.

We wanted to find a place suitable for grandma and for geocaching. While grandma sat in the winter sunshine watching the ducks, the geodaughter and I went off to solve the puzzle and make the find. Thank you for this cache
