Arrived at the gz and after reading some of the recent logs and found we are looking for a log book only it looks like this one needs urgent maintenance or archiving.
TFTC absolutely no container just the log book on the ground in plain sight. Not necessarily the best spot in the first place as its a playground
Found it! Your container has gone missing only the log remains, had to do some digging to find it.
I found the cache very easily. It was too exposed for little kids to find as I found the container empty.
I signed a leaf and left it in the cache.
It needs a new log.
Thanks for the cache.

Out for a bike ride why not look for a cache at the same time. The coordinates pretty much lead me right to it. Once I knew what the cache looked like it made it easy to find.
Beautiful night for an easy get! I can't believe it's gone undisturbed for so long! Very nice
After finding the nearby cache at the footy oval we wandered a bit further on to make this easy find TFTC PoleCat S
With no- one around, this was a quick find for me while out with xambo4u & au.fait. Thanks PoleCat S
11.45am A girls out and about day with echidna44 and au.fait for the day. We had just completed the multi nearby and made the short walk. We were blessed with great weather and surprising and luckily no one playing in the park this morning. These hides on equipment are not a good idea as it has a higher chances of being muggled and does not give male players a fair opportunity 24/7.
Nice easy find but needed a little muscle to dislodge the hide.
Thanks for the cache PoleCat5

Found while out clearing this area will hopefully get this series awesome hide TFTC
Now that's a scout hall with a difference! Circled GZ as some young muggles with dad were playing close by. Then decided on the likely location and went in a quick grab. Retired to the picnic table to sign the log, and then carefully replaced cache. TFTC
First find for my youngest and so excited! Good size playground too so perfect for the family. Signed. TFTC!
Stealth find, as there were a couple of tiny muggles here.
Managed to grab while they and their Nana had their backs turned.
Fun cache find with running rainbow.

Very stealth effort from MerkuriQS to retrieve this one as there were mini muggles around.
Nice find on the way to pots galore!! Took a few minutes a few muggles too.. thanks
Parked on the side of the road along with my geo sis(neyney1156). When apon arrival we spotted three muggles socialising on the park bench. I knew i would have to approach this one on stealth mode. When walking towards the given coordinates we soon realise the muggles were only a few meters away. Realising this, we both went into acting mode and sat on a near by playground equipment and casually started a conversation. i quickly search for the chache with whilst in conversation with geo sis. I quickly found the chache and slip it in my hands. We signed the chache and whilst in sleath mode i replaced it without anyone noticing. Like a boss. Tftc. Its was fun.
I've driven pass this area so often I never knew it existed. I love the little cache container. We decided to do a few in the Keysy area and this was our 3rd find for the day. Awesome find with some stealth work from geosis Memoryt. TFTC
Thank you PoleCatS. Great hide, lots of fun finding, no muggles today and no scouts.
Lots of crows calling though. Had a play while we were here. Ricky7 very pleased with himself today.

Just to add to my find today that the log was pretty well full and could do with a replacement. All in good condition though. Thanks again PoleCat S.
Mummy's first find. Yay mummy. bad to avoid the little mugglea and a guy sneezing continuously. TFTC
After trying one approach to GZ - not quite working out for us - we took a more convenience road route and were treated to the sight of four Little Corellas sitting on the bollard poles. Sadly they took off when a muggle and her dog walked past before I could attempt to take a photo... Distractions gone, G' and J' of GJMMelb and I heade to GZ where after checking the likely spots I believe it was G' who found it for us all. TFTC
In the area today with Quiet1_au after successfully retrieving the "Big Scary Bird" we had some time to grab some on the way home, so we decided to do this series.
The sun was starting to set as we found this, our last cache for the day, so no kidlets around. G made the find pretty quockly.
JMelb was a Brownie, Guide, Ranger Guide, Junior Leader, Ranger & Brown Owl over the years!

Father & Son - Magnificent Winters Day - 14 Caches
With a couple of days off during this school holidays some time was set aside to do some serious caching. We headed up to Churchill to grab a mystery then headed south west to Keysborough to clean out an area of caches.
The perfect example of having an eight year old to cache with was put on display today. I went and sat on a swing whilst Campbell checked out where he thought the cache would be surrounded by kid muggles. The cache was stealthily delivered to me to sign the log, after he found it with no one the wiser. Cache was replaced and we moved on. Gotta love a playground cache when your armed with the right equipment (kids).
Thanks for the cache PoleCat S!!!

Picked a random spot in Melbourne tonight and went out hunting with the Geodog, not sure how many we found but made double fingures for the night TFTC
WARNING This one was guarded by a couple of savage magpies. Swooping violently as we searched. Managed to find and dash to safety under the playground to sign log. Made our escape as maggot turned focus to some geokids entering area. Cannot vouch for their safety...
Tftc one of the many on the books for tonight. Out with my geobuddy in this wonderful night.
Needing a cache for Day 26 of the 31 Days of August Challenge I grabbed these 2 caches on my down the Dandnenong bypass. Both caches where a quick find as there where no mini mugglers playing in the parks. Sl thanks PoleCat S for the caches.
Out for a couple of quick caches on the way home from work.
Quick find here with not a junior muggle in sight.

Nice quick find on my way home from work. Nice area except for the rain. Got a gioshoe stuck in my track to the cache. TFTC. 6 of 31 in my cache a day challenge.
A bitterly cold, rainy, windy, winters day and Hubby Greysubmarine and I decide to travel down to the Peninsula to lay a cache in memory of my treasured grandmother and to complete day 3 of 31 and commence a personal challenge of 24 in 24 hours. Are we MAD???
We started heading home and thought we would do a few more caches on the way. This little gem popped up on the GPS so we swung in to the carpark in the darkness and headed to GZ. For some reason, our GPS's wer both playing up so we were walking to and fro, back and forth, both sure we were on the track. Mine settled down and quickly lead me to the find while hubby was over the other side searching frantically.
Great little hide!

On a wet, cold, raining day in Melbourne Mrs G and my self set ourselves the goal of 24 caches in 24 hours. So after we set a cache in memory of her late Grandmother, we started caching our way back home. Also this was day three of the 31 days of caching in August challenge.
Cache 10 for the day.
So on our way home from Mt Eliza and this is one we see. I park the GeoKorando at the car park near the GZ and we are off in search of the cache, I am glad I am doing this one at night being in a play ground I always feel uncomfortable searching a play ground during the day for a cache. On this occasion both GPSrs decide that they want to play their own version of hide and seek, bouncing all over the place. So I start a process of elimination on this one working from the out side to the inside. That is when I hear Mrs G say those words Got it. Log signed and cache returned. Thanks for cache guys cheers

Found it. It appears a little spider had made this cache his new home so I promptly evicted him so nobody gets bitten.
Quick one during lunch break, no muggles but hall was in use, had to put on stealth mode. TNLNSL. TFTC.
Out with the kids since they had a pupil free school day. Constantly raining but they wanted to go caching anyway. Easy to find and log today - terrible weather kept everyone inside. TFTC.
Parking close we arrived at GZ. Finding the cache we discovered we'd disturbed a colony of ants that had decided to make this cache home. Getting rid of the nest we signed the log and retured the cache to its hide.

Out caching in the area with Pea bear today & this one was a nice easy pick up. With no muggles in sight we both had a bit of a play on the equipment as well. Thanks PoleCat S for the cache.
Found with BorisB&Natasha on a caching mission around the area. Couldn't believe our luck when we saw that there was no muggles in sight which made for an easy search of GZ. Nice hide. Thanks PoleCat S for the cache
Thanks for the great hiding spot. Having Co- ords spot on makes it easy for the kids to use the GPS.
Geo kid no 3 found this one.

Thankfully no kids about when we were there. Good co-ords took us to the right spot. SL.

Seemed that I went 4-1 on this series so I knew what I was looking for. Great Cache!
Parked near-by at the football/cricket oval hoping to do this and #2 at the same time. However there was a large group of cricketers at WP1 for #2 so I couldn't find the required information today. Was not so comfortable when the GPS indicated that GZ was in a park, but luckily it was a bit after dinner-time for most families and the park was empty. Found the cache after a quick search and found the magnets to be when trying to pull it out of it's hide.. SL, TFTC.
Really good one! So many muggles wouldn't know it was there! Had fun finding it
