Logs
The coordinates for this one are appalling and need to be amended to S37° 43.196' E145° 1.910' or the cache placed at the headline coordinates.
I dropped by this one on my bike ride this morning but GZ looked to be a decidedly un-1/1 location.
A read of previous logs showed the coordinates to be significantly out and armed with LuckyL10n's location (S37° 43.196' E145° 1.910'), I soon had the stash in hand at 09:10. I was going to replace it at the headline coordinates but as that would have most likely resulted in its demise, I left it where I found it. This was not a good experience.
Thanks Tyrone.

Needing a bit of an walk after some wintry weather, I decided to do a lap around a section of the Darebin Creek, and see how many Rezzacaches I could hunt down.
Last of five finds, as it turned out, for the morning... I think the coordinates were a bit out, but reading prior logs helped.
Thanks again to MsZahra and the Year 11 Outdoor & Environmental studies class of 2018; It was good to be on my old stomping ground for a while. The caches were a nice bonus.

I have been planning on visiting this series of caches since they were published and with the added incentive of the current GCA game "Journey or Destination" I decided that today was the day to go for a lovely walk around this parkland.
My husband and sons sometimes play hockey nearby so I am quite familiar with the area as I like to go for a walk while they are warming up before their game.
This cache was my third search and find for today. Unfortunately Tyrone was found in the open and was blind to the passing muggles. As there was no hint I had to guess where his hiding location was.
Thank you MsZahra and the Year 11 Outdoor & Environmental studies class of 2018 for this cache.

Thanks for hinding this cache which we found today.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks for this series of geocaches around the area.Quite a few need better co-ordinates as they are generally far to far away to be considered findable withing the terrain and difficulty listed. A lesson in co-ordinate averaging might assist these cache placemeents and any for the future. The walk around the park is quite pleasant, especially in nice weather and it was great way to spend an afternoon chasging down adorable pet rocks.

#GA3183 - 11:05; In Melbourne for a couple of days with Sol de lune and after a later than usual start to the day, we headed over to give this series a try. After making our first couple of finds, we had a better idea about what we were looking for. It turns out some of the coordinates were quite a way out, some up to 60 metres from posted coords, so I've added additional coords for those we managed to find to help future searches. A couple we still couldn't find despite very good hints and a couple may have wandered. This was another one we gave a second try after gaining experience on our way around. Picked it up around 45 metres from the posted coords, so have added new ones with this log. We enjoyed a stroll around the parklands and managed to find 10 of 17 for our efforts for 10 *FTF* as a bonus. TFTC MsZahra et al

In Melbourne for a few days for both family and caching activities, with Luckyl10n along for the ride, and we decided to head out to this series this morning. Only found 10 of the 17 as some of the co-ords were a little out. The hints helped with some, but not others. We enjoyed the walk around the area trying to work out where we hide a cache like this, so even with a few DNF's, all was not lost.
Hopefully some of the caches are still there and haven't been muggled by someone simply walking past. We will add better co-ords for those we have.
Thanks MsZahra, and all involved in placing the caches....
