As there has been no response by the cache owner to the previous note, I am forced to archive this listing.

Great cache, found with team MDMC. Thanks!

Good one!

Needs another repair

Yup, found the cache log book completely wet. Placed both parts of cache on top of post to protect from rain. Might fall off as strong winds.

Found container on the ground but could not screw it back together. Needs replacing

I also found the cache broken on top of post. signed log and put on top of post next door under tree given the imminent rain that is forecast. Needs urgent maintenance tftc it is a good one in a high muggle area hope it can be rescued and restored.

Container fixed

Found it after a brief search, but managed to break the cache on the process!

Will contact owner immediately, but on the meantime we suggest nobody else should visit until we get this fixed

Sorry folks, in the process of finding this cache we managed to break it.

We live nearby, so we've taken the pieces home with us, and have contacted the CO.

Just working through getting the cache fixed with cat-and-dog. It should be back soon.

Found after a short search - this was not what I had been expecting, but was similar to some other caches we had seen. Nicely hidden.

Quickly found in a (surprisingly) quiet park. Had some spare time before a Malty show and it was clear weather for a change. TFTC

Found it this time. A family of muggles were playing soccer in the park but a nice little park on the corner of a very very busy intersection. Very sneaky hide, TFTC. gave it a fav, but a new log-book is needed urgently as this one is full. Cheers.

Stop number two on my Sunday cache walk. The park was deserted so there was no problem need to be too stealthy. After a bit of poking around I soon had the right idea and came up with the cache.

The log is a full and worse for wear, so could do with replacement.

Thanks to garnercx for a great cache.

Quick easy find. First place i looked good camo though

This was a surprisingly quick find on a quiet afternoon. I can't believe I honed in on the hide straight away - either the geosenses were tuned in today or I got lucky (probably the latter!). The log is now full and I didn't have anything to replace it with me. TFTC!

I have driven past this soo many times and wanted to stop a few times but with no close by car park, I have never bothered. Until tonight or very early morning I should say. Was on a night run with theTritonz and we parked in an empty area and made our way to GC. There was one muggle looking in our direction, so we waited for them to pass by and the hunt started and finished in a second. Woo! Sometimes your just lucky and we found straight away. Stamped and returned as found.

Log was a little tatty but container was in good condition.

Found this clever hide in the company of Na'wal tonight while down in Melbourne caching in the area.
Thanks garnercx for placing this one here.

Wow what luck. Found it first spot checked. Thanks for a wonderful hide. We drive by here all the time and never noticed this nice little park.

Having finished up at a conference closeby on Tuesday afternoon I wasn't expected at my next port of call until fairly late in the evening so took the opportunity for a bit of a touristy wander (and a couple of caches of course). Got to GZ and thankfully the only muggles around seemed to be intent on getting home...or at least to somewhere... and therefore not at all interested in yet another person playing with a mobile device.

Nice cache, this one drove me nuts (hint hint) and only made sense at the end! TFTC

A quick find on a rainy morning, following a breakfast meeting I'd attended at Melbourne City Mission across the road. It may have only been 100m from there, but crossing those roads took far more time than the find itself! GZ had a few gardeners about their business, but thankfully they were round the corner so I could make the find (swiftly thankfully) in peace. Could only be one of several spots and about the 6th came up with the goods.

TFTC garnercx. Now for the dash back to the car before the rain gets heavier!

Nice one!!!

Found this one on the way into the city with plenty if traffic, but luckily mo pedestrian muggles. Took a bit of searching around but with the hint and some ideas of where an 'urban' cache can hide this was found fairly quickly. Nice one!

Nice easy find. Very clever!

Very nice work. TNLN TFTC.

A very nice hide, thanks from Sweden!

I know where this was. I think this has been muggled

We think we know where it was supposed to be, but it appears to have been muggled...we think. Will have another go another time. Thanks anyway. Cheers.

Found 4/2/15

Will definitely have another go. It started raining and had to flee

suprisingly quick find

Very nice hide. I was about to give up and log a DNF. Next thing you know my wife stumbles upon it like a pro. TFTC!

Very nice hide!!! Quite creative and sneaky. TFTC!!!

Very creative spot! Almost checked as a joke... But there it was!!

Tricky little hide! Found out caching with Sharkiefan.

A quick little find after visiting my sister for lunch. Used the clue. Thanks.

Hard find on a nice summers day

Needed a lot of help from the owner to find this one. Didn't have a pen so didn't sign, but at least I've finally found it. TFTH and TFTC

Walked past this one already yesterday but found too many people there, this morning it was quiet and finding The cache proved easypeasy. Tftc and greetings from The Netherlands!

I think this might have gone - if it is what I think it is, based on the hint and some of the comments, then all I can see is a place where it would fit. Dang.

First attempt at trying to find a cache. No success. But having visited the shop and seen all the options for the kind of things to look for (not just a 'lunch box'), I'm pretty sure I'll find it easily on my next visit.

Found it with dynamicmissdee

On a run this morning while visiting Melbourne, I decided to head to this one as I was staying nearby. It was a beautiful Spring day, and there was not a soul in sight. The 2nd place I checked yielded the magic spot, so I did a quick sign, and then headed off towards the nearby gardens.
A lovely urban hide. These are fun for city cachers.

Thanks,

Domsky

In town for "Looking for the...BANANA!- flashmob" event. A great hide. TFTC

We found this cache today at 11:50am as number 1 of 13 on our Banana tour of Southbank. Heading into the cache event today we needed both a toilet stop and to fill in some time on a few caches on route. This spot provided the opportunity for both. Thanks from D, HA & A B-A.

Great hide!!
TFTC

One of those in plain view caches
that are hard sometime and easy other times
had the right ideal straight away.
Just i was the one in our party to find it first.

Out cache with D@geo and Meg_q

Thank you for the hide garnercx

Took a return visit to find this one. But once I interpreted the hint in a different way I found it pretty quickly.

After spending the day hunting caches in the You Yangs and surrounding areas, I was heading back home and decided to grab the nearby virtual to set a "most types of cache in a day record" and I was stopped at the nearby traffic lights when I remembered there was a cache in this little park so found a close parking spot, fired up the GPSr and iPhone again and went hunting. Got to GZ and started the hunt - which took a little while before finally having the cache in hand. Thanks to garnercx for this one, excellent hide.

Nice cache. I never seem to find them straight away but did for this one on my way into work on the weekend... TFTC!

Found after trying a couple of options, well hidden!

Made the trip here today to rearrange Mr Rusty's office, which is within cooee of this park. Nearly got eaten by a spider while looking in the wrong spot. Master Rusty preserved with the compass while it settled and ended up leading us right to the spot. Nicely done. TFTC

Lovely day, luckily no muggles around. Had 'total eclipse of the heart' stuck in my head from the clue. Tftc

Found thanks

Checked the cache earlier in the week and it's still there. HOWEVER, it was replaced very "firmly" by the last finder, so I have replaced the cache "gently" as per my suggestion in the description.

Searched high and low, in the dark mind you, without success. Turn around myself, the bolts, the branches, the path, the orientation and directions, and finally gave this the last farewell and the last cache attempt for the day. Last two DNF. Is it still there, I suspect it is but need the daylight to spot it? TFTH garnercx.

Struggled with this one but I'll be back!

I was going to find this one on my snowmobile but then I noticed in the attributes that no snowmobiles are allowed Oh well, back to foot power then.

I found the nicely hidden cache. Well done garnercx. I can see why some new cachers may struggle with it, though it will be closer than they know

Took a number of visits and some help , but finally got it.

Hee hee hee. Brother had been here 4 times with no luck. Mauhaha!!

Hmmm, went looking with Threadpaperscissors. We think it may have been mugged. Might need maintenance.

I went caching with my Parents, carkisser and JSando, but didnt log anything because caching didn't log anything because caching didn't really appeal to me that much. Now I've started again, because I want to do it, so i thought I should catch up on my logs first.
TFTC

Cool camouflage thanks (found with stooy)

Clever! A quick find at night, Thanks

Found it but don't know how to scan. Don't want to attach photo as that could give it for others. Brilliant hide. TFTC. Rob and Geoff Hudson.

No luck. Had muggles eating lunch opposite, so there was only so much wandering around pretending to be on the phone I could get away with. Will return at a more opportune moment

Far out! Almost had us. Had the muggle kids with us and they all checked that spot to no avail. It just needed Sando23468 to try it and voila. Number 7 for us and we've converted the kids.

This is very good . Loved it .. our first with the kids in the dark ....
Good hint
Many thanks ....

Found on a night crawl through the city. Nice hide. Very industrious hide

At last. This was my fourth visit to this one. I decided to take a different approach this time. I think I was getting too hung up on the words "gently". Out in the open I usually try to stick to the co-ords. That was my plan. I also thought, as I walked across the grass, "start again from afresh". "assume it's the first visit". I was totally ready for this cache.

It also helped this time that somebody had drawn a circle around the hiding spot. It stood out before I even reached the path.

I have emailed Garnercx just in case the marks are now intentional.

If nothing else I have kept the local Hungry Jacks busy.

First day in Australia, I'm a bit tired by 30h of travel in plane but i'm so excited to discover the country.

Cache found with Beenasse.

amazing what you pick up, put back, then your caching buddy Detective Eve picks up & says
'Found It!'

Find #153

Had been past here a couple of months ago when I had just started caching and didn't spot anything. Passing again today and stopped by to take another look. My caching experience obviously was the key as I found this one no problem on this visit. Great hide thanks garnercx. Signed and replaced with no problems.

Nice cache thank you garnecx !

Cheeky find on work sponsored trip to Melbs from Sydney. Thanks for the hide!

Excellent Cache! TFTC

Awesome cache location!!! Found with The Phizz

RnB!

Found with fellow geocacher friends at a muggle friends 21st! Thanks for the cache easy find if you have a few geocache hides up your sleeve!

This morning I decided to take a Metro train to St Kilda and find some caches during a nice walk back to my downtown hotel along the shore and through Albert Park. The latter turned out to be difficult due to the preparations for the Formula One race. That prevented me from finding some of the caches, but nevertheless, I enjoyed the walk.

This cache was found at 10:01. Really nice ide, which is awarded a favorite point.

Thanks for the hide and greetings from Denmark!

5 Maart 2014 16:28 wizard4u TFTC: today time for geocaching so I rented a bicycle and went south a bit to find a number of nice caches. Mostly traditionals but also some others. The CO's will become their answers if necessary. Dropped also a number of TB's from Europe. Nice tour in a nice area. All CO's thank you very much for the caches and the nice trip. Weather was ok for cycling. Thanx from holland

Failed to donate blood so went for a walk; failed to find this cache too. Arrgghh.
Hopefully I'll be back.
Cheers

Found during a 14 mile walk around Melbourne on one of our port stops on our 18 day cruise on the Celebrity Solstice. Took a few minutes before making the find, of course the hint becomes obvious once the find is made. tftc!!

#413 TFTC... nice hide

A sweet urban hide! Glad I had tweezers, but wish I had insect repellent. Thanks!

Nice hide. The hint helped. TFTC

Dropped Water Monster off at training and made my way to this nice hide. Quick find and then off for the evening.

TFTC

A quick find, a clever hide.
Signed the new log book.
TFTC garnercx

Just logging an owner maintenance to clear the maintenance flag. New logbook has been dropped off.

It took a while to get this back online, as once I had prepared a new log book, my son found the cache container on my desk and ran off with it. It turned up yesterday under some papers, so I put it back in place.

New log book is printed and ready to go. Just need to drop it off.

The log book as been stolen, so I'll create a new one and get it back in place ASAP.

Found where it should have been, but looks like it's been muggled. We had fun anyway despite the cold.

Hmmm second try and still no luck...

Finding this one a bit tricky! Any tips?

Found while killing time waiting for my son to have a music lesson nearby. Had to outwait some fitness fans, which gave me time to consider possible hiding spots. Nice work, thanks.

After seeing a show at a nearby theatre with BorisB&Natasha it was decided that we should pick up a few caches. Just as we began our search for this one it began to rain quite heavily so a quick look at the hint and the cache was soon in hand. Thanks garnercx for the cache
