Lots of trash but no cache. Prob should've read previous logs first. Hasn't been found for a while...
Spent quite a bit of time looking. Based on previous photos we thought we were in the right place. Maybe its because we are inexperienced newbies.
Searched for about 20mins with a mate and didn't find it. 4th DNF at this cache in a row...
Inexperienced geocachers but we looked for over half an hour!!! Is it still there? Looking through the activity we are pretty sure we had the right spot. Fingers crossed the next one is easier!
It took us a while as inexperienced finders. Nearly gave up but stuck with it and got the find. Nice spot.
Location scouting for a short film with some friends. Haven't cached for a while! TFTC!
Awesome spot! Love the hint about the oval and hockey club! (Opposite to knife) lol
Upon opening i found the pencil is broken. May need servicing?

Nice easy find with Lulurahr (her first cache!) although lots of muggles around.
Found 3pm 8/7/15. Second attempt at this bad boy but after a bit of logical thinking it popped up pretty quickly!!
My dad and brother used to work at Bradmill
It's a bit sad to see what has become of it on a recent trip down from Brisbane

Second find on my smoko cache run. After the last person logged a DNF I was worried I would not find it but only spent about 2 minutes looking and there it was. I must have looked a bit dodgy when a muggle was walking in my direction and I jumped in my car and took off.
There was a tree cut down, hope it wasn't this one! Anyway Ill check again another time..
Hidden well, tempted to have a look at the warehouse! Nice morning for a walk. TfTC

On our trip trough Australia with the hole family we looked also for some caches. They often showed us places we would never had discovered. Thanks a lot to all the people who care about this lovely hobby
.
Melbourne was our last stop. Here we packed all together and we made us ready to fly home. But we also want to visit Melbourne and look what there is around.
Found this after a longer search on a first visiting-tour with the bike.
Greetings from Switzerland.

Found on a gorgeous Saturday morning on our way to a 7th birthday party.
We had a sneaky look through the old abandoned warehouse next to the cache and bumped into some colourful characters.

TFTC. Easy find, walked straight up to it. Replacing was a bit mire difficult as one of the residents in the nearby painted factory decided to have a smoke and stand at the doorway. Eventually relocated the cache.
Aiming to get all of the empires Melbourne caches; really are some of my favourites.
The mill was great today. Lots of photo shoots and people wandering around.

Pulled up and immediately beelined to the urban art gallery next. Brilliant for a look around. Came back to search for the cache. Took a bit then got it. Great spot thanks for bringing me here!
I looked and looked, followed directions and compass points. Not an encouraging first try!
Found this a few days ago on our second attempt at this cache. It was very well hidden but photos helped alot.
Found on a quick cache run with MrsBlackDuck's shiny new birthday GPS!
Quiet morning in the reserve allowed us to make a quick find without trouble.
Log, cache and hide all in great condition!

Last one for the morning cache run with Mrs Blue Duck. We left the phones in the car and used my new GPS unit for practice. We walked up to the fence and had a look around at the old factory. I have never been so close to it, but driven past it a million times. I hope they do some kind of really cool retro fitout of this part of our suburbs. Anyway, we realised it had to be in one of the trees so started looking closer and lo and behold there it was! Signed and replaced in its cool hiding spot.
Coordinates don't seem right. Or it's missing. We searched real good like. No joy.
Geosister and I decided to show muggle dad the ropes of caching around his home base. He took a little bit of convincing to accompany us but he enjoyed the experience! I found this one fairly quickly and then stepped back and watched muggle dad attempt it. Was very enjoyable to see a newbie at work. Some sort of party in a nearby building hampered our efforts, we kept having to pretend to be admiring the 'view' of the park. Eventually muggle dad found the cache. A great experience. TFTC
A nice quick easy find. We are here for a week-long hockey tournament called the JSC. Hopefully the weather will improve as it is currently cold wet and miserable!! TFTC
We arrived at GZ to find that the sports ground was being used well ad truly but with stealth and patience we managed to find the excellent cache hide, sign the log book and replace the cache.
TFTC The Empire - another one of your good cache hides - much appreciated.

Went back to have another look for this one and it is a great hide indeed , clever and cords are spot on . TnLn . TFTC .
Found after a quick hunt on the way home after a demoralising game of baseball against Footscray on the other side of the oval.
Found @ 11:36pm, find # 2902.
Another night out with Biggles1024, finding a few caches.
This one was in the area so we stopped by for a look, but the look turned into a search as the cache was not being found, we searched a number of places before finally I came but to a spot that was probably where we started and this time with a better look the cache was found.
Thanks to The Empire for placing this cache.

Find #866
My caching partner Stemicmitsar and I teamed up again tonight and headed to Williamstown. With the two challenge caches that were our main targets for tonight found, we turned our attention to other caches in this area.
When we pulled into the car park, we could see lights on in the club rooms and people moving around but we able to search undetected. This one had us searching over a reasonable area but we kept being drawn back to a particular spot. Eventually Steve made the find in a place that we had both looked at previously but not hard enough.

I think I found it? There were heaps of random stuff lying around. Unless the app took me to the wrong place, it took me to the soccer field's car park.
Found on the way home from work tonight! Day 13 down. Been there once before and couldn't find it! This time it was found and logged! Thanks for bringing us here! TFTC
Quick find while waiting for my hockey game to start. No muggles around TFTC

No luck for us today at this one, luckily the area seemed quite a bit further from the games being played, although muggles with dogs were one of our biggest concerns. Oh well, we'll attempt this one another day!
Nipped off between in games at the junior state championships, day one at footscray hockey club for a quick grab with Starthewie. Brrrr warmed up with a nice on a cold windy day. TFTC and Go Sharks!!!

Found just near the old denim mill. Has an interesting conversation with a nearby muggle who was looking for an abandoned warehouse/factory to do some photography in.
Replaced with a more suitable container as it seems the council will return shortly to remove the branches they cut down. Seems The Ugly Ducklings swiped the pencil so I've added a little one to this cache! Just kidding, the cache is ready to be found again.

This cache has been muggled , only thing left were a couple of little swaps and a pencil. No cache container found.
Found today whilst out and about with JungleJodes before going to see Les Mis. Took us a while to find the correct way into GZ but eventually found. I used to go to school at Footscray High which was on this site. This was our sporting oval and I spent many hours here.
We had to wait for a muggle on a bike to clear the area. Cache was a quick find. A pity about all the rubbish in the area.
Thanks for the cache The Empire

Found this cache with sorcysal. A few tense moments trying to find the right street to turn down. Waited for a muggle to leave the area, then was nearly foud out by a sneaky muggle and her k-9. Will start taking rubbish bags on finds to clean up around areas with lots of rubbish.
Skived off from street orienteering to nab a few caches. This was a rapid find after a walk past some attractive sporting venues.
did this on my way home from work in the dark at 4 am so took me a bit but i git there in the end nice one thanks heaps
