GZ had us at the most obvious spot but we didn't find the cache. Didn't want to spend too much time looking and draw attention to ourselves. Will have another look when we are next in the area.
Thanks anyway Earthbound Control.

Went to find this geocache with 2 kids and we couldn't find it ! Very disappointed :/
We were driving by on our way to do some night caches in Braeside.
Drove up and found it.
A neighbour sent his dog out then came and asked us if we had seen him. lol
TNLNSL Simber Dog Tag paid a visit. TFTC EC #383

Had a slack day today as the car was out for a service. After picking it up I drove past this cache as it happened to be nearby. Lucky nobody was about so it was an easy pickup, sign and drop off. TFTC EBC.
Dropped by on the way home from work, managing to keep one cache per day average... What will I do when the chiefs caches run out!? Log was a little damp but okay. Thanks for yet another cache!
On a day caching with Balukee while taking his daughter to Baseball , made quick drive by for this way. Had to wait out the dog and his owner in park. TFTC
Grabbed this on the way home from work. I have a streak building so I needed a cache for the day but something quick given the 40 odd degree temperature - the words "drive by" got my attention and the cache lived up to it's billing

TFTCNote to self....read the logs and the description properly - don't skim over it!
Great cache that unfortunately wasn't hidden as well as it could be. We have fixed that now.
Five minute find in the dark with smartphone torches as our only tools!!
Great little park.

Great little park.
That has to be the smallest park in all of Melbourne! Fits the definition of a drive by. TFTC
Before looking at my phone I had entered this little quirky park only to find out I had already walked past this one. So after backtracking a little I took my sunnies off to make the find easier and soon made the discovery. Thanks again EarthboundChief!
Yay FTF FOR BFFL ELLSBELLZ. Great hide, thanks to previous comments ! Off to find second cache in mentone for the evening! 
Good hide. Nearly missed it. What a great a little park close to my partners work!!
YAY my first! Hard when you have never seen what sort of thing you r looking for, took me a while. Eventually found thinking 'outside' the box. Thank you for a bit of fun in my day!
Well a big day out with the Sal-Amanda geocaching beach rd. But all good things come to an end and this little drive by cache is just what the Sal-Amanda ordered. With a screech of the tyres and a cloud of smoke the Sal-Amanda was in and out.... TFTC
I was driving by nearby so drove right nearby this drive-by and made a nice quick find, sign and return. TFTC.
Thank you,great cache. This was our first cache and we really loved the hiding spot. Well done.
Perfect example of a drive-by. On arrival Pulled up right on GZ and it really took no time to locate the nicely tucked away cache. TFTC
Pulled up meters from GZ and hopped out for an easy drive by find.
Cache was in good condition.

I really must pay more attention to the cache's title. It's Ivy's Drive By, not Ivy's Red-back-riddled Fence-line Frolic. A fun and muggle-safe cache. Just be aware of the cars zooming around the bend. Thanks!
Thanks EbC for Ivy's Drive By...found after a few mins of reaching GZ. TFTC. Signed the log and went home after some morning grocery shopping.
Definitely not the obvious spot.. Unfortunately I got a massive splinter under my fingernail during the retrieval- very painful!
Absolutely pouring down - which was a problem as my iPhone wanted to lead me 17m away from the cache and hunt over there. Fortunately logic ruled and the cache was soon in hand. A quirky spot and a cute site for a hide. Cache is dry and in excellent condition.
Thanks and cheers!

The plan had been to take the newly purchased cachemobile south for a promised repair, then cache my way back home. So much for that; the parts hadn't arrived... oh well, more time for caching.
Exactly as advertised... a neat little drive-by. Only a few motorised muggles to contend with on this quiet Saturday morning, so the search was short.
As I had a spare on board, the container has now been replaced.

Lid of container has broken off, have made temporary fix with elastic band but will need a more permanent solution
Nice quick find, definitely is a quaint little park on an odd corner. Thanks for the cache.
Should have been a drive by, but the geo kids liked climbing the trees here, so it was a quick find and then a tree climbing session. Cache still there and nice and dry. visited tbs. TFTC.
What a cute park, a bit like a back yard. Why not put a cache here? Great drive by, found at 9.20pm, no one around. SL, Thanks.
There were a pair of muggles in the park when we arrived. They were both so focused on their smartphone screens, that they didn't even look up. With their backs to us, we could pick up the cache without issue. TNLN, signed the log.
thanks.
thanks.
Found today at 1:45 pm while out and about with the Geodog. Parked the car and then wandered back to GZ to make the find. Signed log. Funny little park though. They have a no dogs allowed sign but there is a water trough and tap for the dogs to drink out of at the base of the drinking fountain. Thanks for the cache Earthbound Chief.
Nice little park nested in these streets. Cache was a beauty and not too hard to find. TFTC
I saw the cute little park & then asked myself .... what am I doing IN the park? with a drive by?

Our apologies - we were overseas for a month and these dnf's have slipped through unnoticed. We will check this out.
09/06/2012 18:58 Other cachers said it was in obvious spot. Not anymore. I assume that this is now gone. - David.
Wasn't in the obvious spot (I had a good scratch around) and then did many circles but didn't find it. 
Found on a Friday overnight geocaching session with nadya. Quick find @ 3:10 am, logbook is full.
Found at 2:56 PM GAFF1. Wonder if there used to be a house on this plot and park was subsequently donated when the house was removed - too small to build another house maybe?
Always hesitate to grab a cache in such a location after the infamous "what's this soft furry thing" incident!
Thanks Earthbound Chief

Found with Wild Josh this morning. I do like this spot and the little park nearby. tftc Earthbound Chief.
Found with draw four this morning. I'm sure that I sure a little skink at GZ so I let draw four retrieve the cache. tftc. Liked the little park.
How quaint! A relative of mine lives around the corner but for one reason or another I hadn't got around to looking for it. This is also my 100th cache found, so yay for me!
Found @ 23:00. Grabbed on a night run in the area. The first of 7. An interesting little park. The container was uncovered in its location and there was no TB inside. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and rehid the container a bit better. Thanks for the cache.
I forgot to log this find, all those years ago with Geo-husband while visiting geo-father and geo-mother-in-law. Found with Aquaman_au. I'm a lot late with my log. oops.
On vacation in Melbourne for the day to visit friends. This one was really close by their house and super fun. SL TN L - Washington State Geocoin.

Plastic bag is torn needs replacing and also Log sheet...sorry didnt have any spare bags with us. Cache is a little damp
What a beauty of a hide I had to approach with caution ....what a thrill.
My G pointed straight towards GZ but I didn't trust it thinking it couldn't be the hide but it was.......excellent spot for a hide and a bold one.
It appears as thou the cache had been disturbed by possums, found in the open within the hide.
Thx EBC for a fun cache.

Found @ 16:30 after finishing work early down here today. Time for a few caches before heading home. Nice quick drive by today. TFTC TNLNSL
Found with Rory.... Was a bit tricky as wandered around for a bit and should have realized it was in the obvious spot. Thanks
