I have this one a go while I was up here, but no luck today. Hope it hasn't fallen off and got lost
Gehschei and Horn found this one lying on the ground today. Thanks for rehiding it!
Finally found this one!Last time I was here, I was 24 hours too late and roadworks had just rendered GZ inaccessible.This time, with freshly rendered landscape in the vicinity, I set out with a colleague to finally tick this one off. Unfortunately, this simple yet deceptive hide manage to evade both of our attentions for long enough that I found myself contacting the CO to confirm its whereabouts.I am happy to confirm that this little beast is still in place and ready to be found. Thanks to The Empire. I will return to tackle your ad lab soon.
Replaced this morning. Though work is still ongoing in the area, the geocache should be good to go for a while.-M
Enabling. Back up and running with a new Adventure Lab and virtual cache nearby, this geocache should be good to go for a while.-M
Checked in on this one. Almost there with the nearby roadworks and should be back soon, perhaps during the September holidays. Thanks for your patience.-M
Renovations are still underway at GZ. This cache will be back when they are finished. Doesnt look too long now. -M
Looks like this one is still there albeit, behind a fence! Lets give the workers some time to improve the area and well re-enable soon. Thanks for the heads up from helpful cachers. -M
Sadly, it looks like the council has other ideas for this area, as of this week.
Decided to do a quick detour on our way to the markets on our weekend Melbourne trip.Very quick find - log is very full. May need to be replaced shortly and a new bag.
In Melbourne for work & staying nearby so after dinner headed to look for this one. After looking in a few wrong places & widening my search had the cache in hand & managed to squeeze my name into a space on the log. TFTC The Empire
Was in the city for some Rotary training so grabbed the opportunity for a quick cache. Hidden in plain sight. TNLN. T4TCCheers, Ric
immediately spotted this one at GZ but it did take a while to get myself to the correct GZ. relied on the caches physical location on the map rather than gps. spotted on approach. could use a fresh logsheet (very full!) and a new ziplock. thanks for the history!
Wow, this one is really bold and clever! Took us a little while but definitely a fav point. TFTC
Arrived in Melbourne after a big few days up in Canberra at the mega and after getting settle at my mates we took the dog for a walk and passed by here where I stopped to make the quick find at GZ.Thanks go to The Empire for placing and maintaining the Traditional cache QVM Cemetery II for me and others to find.I added my name to the log at 16:29 on 2/4/2024.This is find number 8795 for me.
Today we had a tour of Melbourne city centre on the agenda. Of course, a few new smileys on the map were a must. This was also found quickly and easily. TFTC
Such an open location and very obvious that you stand out while doing it. Log was full but still made our mark. First cache in VIC for us TFTC
Day 14 of our roadtrip in Australia. Well, no roadtrip today, as we're still in Melbourne. Today we'll be exploring the parts outside of CBD, starting in the north, then south of Yarra and east where all the sports related stuff happens. Well, if we make it that far, there's so much to see here . Pretty much impossible to do this one without being seen, but obviously it has survived so far. Thanks and kind regards from Switzerland, Hinni&Simo
Cool cache after QVM. Might need new log as this one is full. W/ Caperdoodle1
I'm not quite sure, but it might be that we didn't find this one on our last trip to Melbourne 4 years ago.Today, it was a matter of seconds. TFTCacheld
Poursuite de notre priple en Australie. Journe Melbourne et balade dans le march. Merci pour la cache
Notre road trip nous emmne pour 2 jours Melbourne. Nous jaunirons quelques points sur la carte. TFTC logue en team Mado.
Mrs. Amazing and I are on a three week trip in New Zealand and Australia as part of our bucket list. This is one of the geocaches we got along the way. We let our tour guide find this one. It definitely gets a favorite point from me. Thanks so much for putting this one out as well as feeding my insatiable addiction!
Great camouflage! Felt kinda weird searching for it in the middle of a roundabout though didn't have my geocache info sheet I usually have handy in case the cops approaches, but fortunately nothing happened. TFTC!
Na het bezoek aan Victoria Market hebben we nog tijd om een klein ommetje te maken om deze cache te loggen. Snel gevonden.
[9075] Holidays in Australia, day 18, final day. This night we go home to Europe, but we used the last day to explore the city of Melbourne by foot. It was a hot day and we enjoyed the shadow in the alleys, lanes and shopping arcades. We found some traditional geocaches and played some virtuals, so we got a good impression of the town. This one belonged to our finds. TFTC!
A huge thank you to the cache owner for creating and maintaining a wonderful cache. EP79 and I have embarked on a three-month long geocaching trip across the globe, and we are both grateful and thrilled to discover new places and new friends. The first part of our trip is dedicated to Australia and New Zealand. We arrived in Melbourne on the Overland yesterday and settled in. Today, we went to the city centre exploring the parks and streets and geocaching on the way. QVM Cemetery II was our second cache, and we had no problems with the find.Sorry for logging with a delay. The trip was really busy, but at least I get to revisit these caches again and enjoy great memories. Many thanks for the invite to a beautiful place and for a wonderful geocaching adventure. Greetings from Prague, the Czech Republic, Europe.
Thank you for the cache!I arrived to Melbourne yesterday from Adelaide on the Overland, which was an amazing journey across spectacular landscape, and I saw my first kangaroo! 
I'm travelling and geocaching with my bestfriend Ironford, and today we spent in the centre of Melbourne.We weren't lucky with the opening days of the market, but we did get the cache. The area was fairly calm, since it wasn't market day, there were just some noisy seagulls quarelling.

This is my final find in Australia while on holiday. TFTC from the UK.
After a fun scoot from the State Library this was a nice easy find. Having seen this type of hide before, I was able to spot it from some distance away and although there are plenty of people about most are too interested in their phones to pay me much attention. Thanks for highlighting this piece of Melbourne history too. It just goes to show that even permanent memorials dont really last all that long. Seize the day! QVM Cemetery II is find number 3,351 for me. A fun micro traditional cache I enjoyed finding as one of my caching adventures in City Of Melbourne. Unless otherwise mentioned above, I found the coordinates to be accurate, the cache in good condition and the log dry and with plenty of room to sign. I am logging this one on Thursday 29 Feb 2024 at 4:18 pm and the weather is Overcast Clouds 29C 23% 4 m/s . Thanks for placing this cache for the rest of us to enjoy The Empire.*Found with [Geooh GO](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobiltal.geoohGO)*
Quick and easy find once I got to GZ, which it didnt seem like I could do. Leap day cache! TFTC
This one is near my walk to work and, having been a bit early this morning, I swung by for a look. On approach to gz I had reason to lack confidence in a find due to some serious works, however recent logs gave me some encouragement. After looking around for some reasonable hiding spots, something stuck out and I had my hands on it. I forgot a pen when leaving home so got one at work and signed the log on the way back this afternoon. Tftc
The DownUnder 2024 team is travelling in Australia and New Zealand. We also used our stopover in Doha to cache. We met interesting places, friendly people and we had great experiences. Some caches led us to beautiful areas, historical events or hotspots on site. I try to publish my own pictures in the log as far as possible. Sometimes I also stand in logbooks with my nickname, often I have renounced to save space. We agreed that only one desired answer will be sent at a time. I hope all owners also think rationally. Thanks for all the experiences.
I had been suffering cache withdrawals having not found a cache for over two weeks.Today there was an opportunity as we were visiting the Vic Market and so I pounced.Knowing there was a recent DNF I was skeptical, especially as I approached GZ.Not to worry however, it was soon found hidden in plain sight where muggles should never find it.Thanks for the cache The Empire, and helping me end my two week drought ??.Cache and log in great condition.
Our NEW ZEALAND - TASMANIA - AUSTRALIA JOURNEY takes us to beautiful places and provides us with an incredible number of wonderful moments and experiences.Occasionally we also visit a few GeoCaches along the way.The large market with its many colorful stalls was very entertaining...??. We stocked up on fresh vegetables for the next few days...????????????????? and other goodies...??! We feared that the cache was no longer there because of the building work. But no problem, the "cheeky little one" is still there...??! Our name quickly appeared on the guest list...??.Thank you for placing, maintaining and caring snapfish2 from Switzerland????PS: Translated with the Deepl app??

Together with 36 other geocachers, the KiSt team undertook a very long trip to Australia ???? and New Zealand ???? for three weeks. On both the outward and return journeys, there was a stopover in Doha, the capital of Qatar ????.We experienced a great deal on this trip and gained many very different impressions of the two countries, their nature and their culture. Of course, the main focus was on visiting as many caches of as many different types as possible and also all accessible old cans. However, we also made sure to visit many special places of interest and to gain as comprehensive an impression as possible of nature and its flora and fauna.To save the logbooks, we usually signed in with our team name **Downunder24**. For "special" cans, however, we have not missed the opportunity to leave our nickname as well.This beautiful cache is now also one of our finds.Due to the large number of caches visited, it is unfortunately not possible for us to write an individual log for each can, which is why we would like to apologize to the owners for this collective log.We also met other cachers at some of the events and were able to share our experiences. Many thanks to the event owners!Of course we would like to thank all the owners for showing us the great locations, the sometimes tricky puzzles, exciting multis and wherigos, as well as the interesting virtuals and earth caches - TFTC!!!---In der Besetzung KiSt unternahmen wir zusammen mit 36 weiteren Geocachern fr drei Wochen eine sehr weite Reise nach Australien ???? und Neuseeland ????. Auf der An- und Abreise stand dabei jeweils ein Zwischenstopp in Doha an, der Hauptstadt von Qatar ????.Wir haben auf dieser Reise sehr viel erlebt und viele sehr unterschiedliche Eindrcke von den beiden Lndern, deren Natur und deren Kultur mitgenommen. Natrlich lag ein Hauptaugenmerk darauf, mglichst viele Caches mglichst vieler unterschiedlicher Typen und auch alle erreichbaren alten Dosen zu besuchen. Darber haben wir es aber nicht versumt, vielen besonderen Sehenswrdigkeiten einen Besuch abzustatten und uns von der Natur und deren Flora und Fauna einen mglichst umfassenden Eindruck zu verschaffen.Um die Logbcher zu schonen, haben wir uns dort meist mit unserem Teamnamen **Downunder24** eingetragen. Bei "besonderen" Dosen haben wir es uns aber auch nicht nehmen lassen, zustzlich unseren Nicknamen zu hinterlassen.Auch dieser schne Cache zhlt jetzt zu unseren Funden.Aufgrund der groen Anzahl der besuchten Caches ist es uns leider nicht mglich, zu jeder Dose einen individuellen Log zu verfassen, weshalb wir uns bei den Ownern fr diesen Sammellog entschuldigen wollen.Auf einigen Events haben wir auch andere Cacher kennengelernt und konnten unsere Erfahrungen austauschen. Vielen Dank an die Event-Owner!Natrlich wollen wir uns bei allen Ownern fr das Zeigen der tollen Orte, die teils kniffligen Rtsel, spannenden Multis und Wherigos, sowie die interessanten Virtuals und Earthcaches bedanken - TFTC!!
Mit 37 Geocachern, aus Deutschland, Dnemark, Luxemburg und der Schweiz, ging es auf groe Reise. Drei Wochen nach Australien und Neuseeland, beginnend mit einem Zwischenstopp in Doha in Katar. So lange und so weit weg von zu Hause war ich noch nie. Eine aufregende Zeit.Beim Geocaching lag der Focus auf viele unterschiedliche Cachetypen, aber auch besondere Wertungen, Challenges und besonders ein paar sehr alte Caches aus den Jahren 2000 und 2001. Aber auch natrlich ganz besonders die Geocaches, die zu Fu vom Hotel aus gut erreichbar waren.Natrlich wurde stand aber nicht nur das Geocaching im Mittelpunkt, sondern auch die Sehenswrdigkeiten der einzelnen Stationen, die wir besuchten, verdienten ihre Aufmerksamkeit.In die Logbcher trugen wir uns mit unserem Teamnamen "Downunder 2024" ein, Logbuchplatz sparend und effizient.Es war eine ganz besondere Reise im groen Team, das auch sehr viel Spa gemacht hat.Heute war Reisetag von Sydney nach Melbourne.Aufgrund der Vielzahl der Caches reicht es berwiegend nur zu einem Einheitslog, fr den ich mich bei den unterschiedlichen Ownern hiermit schon mal entschuldigen mchte.Danke fr diesen Geocache. Danke fr die Ausarbeitung. Danke frs Zeigen.Lieber Gru aus Duisburg / DeutschlandAndyDieser Logeintrag wird mit Hilfe von Google bersetzt.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________We set off on a long journey with 37 geocachers from Germany, Denmark, Luxembourg and Switzerland. Three weeks to Australia and New Zealand, starting with a stopover in Doha, Qatar. I have never been so long and so far away from home. An exciting time.When geocaching, the focus was on many different cache types, but also special ratings, challenges and especially a few very old caches from the years 2000 and 2001. But also, of course, especially the geocaches that were easily accessible on foot from the hotel.Of course, the focus wasn't just on geocaching; the sights of the individual stations we visited also deserved attention.We entered our team name Downunder 2024 in the logbooks, saving logbook space and efficiently.It was a very special trip in a large team, which was also a lot of fun.Today was travel day from Sydney to Melbourne.Due to the large number of caches, there is usually only one standard log, for which I would like to apologize to the different owners.Thanks for this geocache.
