Description
Maroondah, one of the last Melbourne suburbs/areas to have a Geocaching Australia cache hidden in its mist....
You'll find this one hidden in a green space area, behind an Aussie Rules Oval...which sounds about right for Melbourne.
At the GZ area, look under the log and hopefully you'll find a rock...and if you have, all should be good. Check the gallery for a spoiler photo if really in doubt.
Enjoy a walk in a new dragonZone area. LuckyL10n was with me when the cache was placed and will claim a find after the FTF has.

A twofer today as I needed twofer a research task. The area is a little tricky to locate as there a number of items around and some older some newer and some falling apart. It took a while to locate the right one and then we made our mark and were on our way.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks for placing this geocache here for me to find today.

overgrowth made it a little difficult to find but we found it, when found I didn't click and was using it to dig to find it my kids thought it was hilarious
Nice little cache for our family’s first outing, thanks!

Clearly the satellites have a better view of this side of the reserve.
The cache was found in the first place I looked.
A solitary dog walking muggle on the far side was the only activity here today.
Thank you for placing caches for us to find, Sol de Lune
Much appreciated!

I was in the area this morning before the heat set in so came across. There were plenty of muggle dog walkers but I managed to grab the well hidden cache in between.
Thanks Sol de lune for the cache

We were delighted when this and another GCA were published in the Maroondah LGA in February this year. Today we were passing through the area so stopped to look for this one.
For some reason our GPS was very unsettled so it took a little longer than we expected to located the cache. The other factor that hindered the location of the cache was the thick layer of leaves that had covered the hide. After removing the layers of dry leaves we spotted the cache container. Container and contents were in good condition.
Thanks for this cache Sol de Lune. We appreciate having a cache in the Maroondah LGA. We enjoyed our walk through this little green belt.

#GA2576 - 00:00; I was out and about with the CO on a caching mission in Victoria and filling a few zone holes when this cache was placed. Now that it has been logged, I'll log my claim as well. Hope a few of the locals as well as us interstaters will take advantage of this hide to add another dragonZone to their tally. TFTC Sol de lune
