This may have been pulled off its safety harness. Shall check when I can travel back into town
Ridden pay many times on the way to the G. Nice quiet day to finally stop and look around.
Found on a very wet day in Melbourne, getting some exercise out of isolation! Easy find
I found the hint very helpful. It is rare to listen rather than look for a cache!
This bridge is a highlight of the Melbourne Half Marathon, because it’s all downhill from here and you feel so close the MCG. Thanks for this cache.
Have no idea what are the sticks being referred to, but the cache was an easy find regardless.

On my first walk trough Melbourne I found this one on my way. What a great spot.
Thanks for the cache.

It seems we join others in not having a pen. Had left handbag with pen in hotel as we were just checking way to the tennis for tomorrow.
I hate doing this but too good to leave unfinished. Thank you

Found before the tennis as we had a bit of time to kill. Unfortunately didn’t have a pen but I’ve taken a photo as evidence. Thanks for the cache.
Arrived early for the tennis and thought what better way spend some time but to find another cache. This was quickly found by Cathylmorgan but when e reached into our bags found no pens
Hoping the photo evidence is enough for the CO to allow the find
Thanks for the cache placement

From Hobart, visting Melbourne with RLD4963 and a couple of friends to watch some tennis.
Today was the first day of tennis, and after an MCG tour we made our way to the tennis for the night session. As we were walking straight past GZ, we grabbed this cache on the way. Took a little minute to locate, luckily there is a great view of some of the outside courts from here, so we were totally inconspicuous tennis watchers as we searched. A good little hide.

out and about with 1 Rafa caching, in the area so of we cache, walking along and got to said position on bridge and more searching and more looking for muggles also the tennis outside courts can be seen from this spot and there it was, a good hide. TFTC TNLN log dry.
Our first find! Didn’t have a pen, but we’ll come back and leave our mark on this exciting little find on our next adventure!
Walking from the g to the city..tennis players practising..great city views cache and log in good condition tftc
The qualifiers for the Australian Open were underway as we came past, and provided a good cover for standing around for a while. I always like this soundscape and the walk from the G to city - it's worth a favourite. Thanks Landau351 for the placement.
Off to watch the cricket at the G. Stopped and had a fish around for this cache after a DNF a year or two ago. Easy find this time.
TFTC. We had come into Melbourne from Maryborough to have lunch with members of our Motorhome club. Rather than driving we used V Line. This meant we had a good few hours to use caching. We targeted a couple to find, some Adventure Labs and collection of information for a multi. We wandered along the river towards this one. Preparations are underway for the Tennis so it was an opportune time to find this today.
No way I missed this on the last attempt. I could see the other container below some how still holding on.

Forgot our pen! Can provide a photo if you want evidence! On our way back to the city from the Boxing Day test.
Found it after a bit. It's my first geo didn't have a pen ️ Thanks for hiding it.
Not a hard find, follow the hint and previous logs. Found soon after #300. Great spot but not awesome for one afraid of heights!

At first I thought I had spotted the cache in an unretrievable location. Not sure why, but I decided to have a feel around anyway and was surprised to make the find. The I realised it had a tether, and what I first spotted was no doubt the cache at some point in the past. Whilst I had a few tools at hand I had nothing that wouldve got to it!
Thanks landau351 for placing this Small Traditional - this is find 1812 for BFMC

What awesome spot! The strange junction of the rails, the city landscape and the aboriginal song in a beautiful sunset was really harmonic.

In town for MIC2019. So many friends in the city! This one wasn’t too hard at all. A quick feel around and the hide was revealed. TFTC
No luck here. Totally perplexed by the clue apart from the "south" bit perhaps. We couldn't find a single item near GZ that could host a cache that wasn't directly above the railway (hopefully for safety's sake it hasn't been accidentally re-hidden above the railway!) The dramatic music from the speakers eventually got the better of us and we moved on. Thanks anyway.
We had the day to ourselves so devoted most of it to trying to find the majority of the city centre caches
A quick and easy find thanks to spot-on co-ordinates and the generous hint.

Was on the way to the MCG to pick up my race bib and told my mate "There's probably a cache on the way".
I thought maybe I'll find it quickly or maybe I'll just miss it.
Was a pretty quick find and I really appreciate it being placed.
Thanks Landau351

After getting fooled by the old "fallen" cache in the area, I came back again to give this a shot. Success!! TFTC
So proud of our 6 year old geokid. Her first true find! Couldn't have done it without her.
The bridge was pretty busy with fans but it was still easy to find the box and sign the log. TFTC!
Found it. We can see it but the fishing line is no attached to the cache. Needs maintenance. Thanks
I wonder what William Barak would think. A great mix of landscape & soundscape. TFTC
Sneaky sneaky! Not sure what the southern most corroboree stick is..but gps found it
I wanted to walk over to see MCG and Olympic Park while in Australia. It was raining, so nobody was on the bridge. TFTC!
Phew found it, a little bit of vertigo crossing the bridge, coordinates are good feel your way tftc
We were for 5 weeks in Australia for our vacation.
Starting point is Melbourne and then more to the north via Sydney to Brisbane. Ofcourse is this not the exact route, because we visited many places in these 5 weeks.
Sometimes we did a geocache and also this one.
We have seen many fantastic places on our route.
landau351, thanks for this geocache.

Found this geocache during our holiday trip in Australia with my mom and dad Burgerhoutjes.
Thanks for this geocache.

TFTC. I frequently walk home this way, and once looked with for it without success, but tonight it was immediately in hand. Great hide with a great view. Unusually for me on my way home I had no pen, hence the attached photo for proof
The container was replaced with a new one. he one you can see is the previous one.
Nice little hide and a quick find on this chilly morning. Love the hint but wasn’t as obvious as I was thinking. TFTC
Find number 3 in Vec for me and another FP for the location on this marvellous singing bridge.
