The area has had a major clean up and all the bushes are cut right back so the hide as it was originally intended is now very exposed and will not survive so I will close this one down and create a new hide somewhere else to replace this number in the series.
The container is no longer in place.

After a DNF at our last cache we tried for I was beginning to think we would have a DNF. Then I noticed it was one of Stemicsar’s caches and thought surely he’d be conscientious about keeping caches well maintained. I thought then tried a different tack in the same place and victory was mine just as geo partner was ready to give up. Magnet no longer strong enough to hold cache in place but easily found if you think it through. At least I got one cache for the day out.
Log book in a big mess and I think I might have to go back some time to get series again. As this is the first I’ve done of this series
I said magnetic and there was a water main but I couldn’t find anything. Might have been taken
Yes you sure do gotta fund a cache. Just need to wait for those silly niggles. Tftc
Thanks for the cache! Took us a moment to figure out where it was. Log is a bit wet. Took trackable. Will drop at next location.
Had to replace the magnet as some had taken it
There are two small ones now, not as strong but seems to work OK.
Please leave them in there.
Also placed a trackable in there.

After a chance meeting in the street with an old friend, we searched high and low, left and right, even phoned the co. About to give up when MrsPapi spotted the blighter a little bit away. Clue noted.
Thankyou SteMicMitSar for placing this cache here for us to find.

Had plans to do some major geocaching today. Instead did 2 loads of washing, resorted a kitchen cupboard, had lunch with a loved one (he cooked!) and other odds and ends.
So was delighted with this stop and grab.
Thanks.

A sneaky cache find on the way back to work after training in the city.
Had a stop nearby so called in here. A quick find but not where I first thought.
Cache is in good condition, log dry.
Thanks

Since moving from New Zealand I have been enjoying the area, exploring and finding caches. I usually cache on my own but sometimes I will collect my nephew stinky bob and my brother stinky tom who both enjoy this hobby.
A big thanks goes out to all the cachers and cache owners without whom this lifestyle would not be possible.
The caches I’ve found in Australia so far have for the most part all been in great condition. Keep up the good work.

Found on a sunny Thursday as we are out for an after school geocaching session. Nice sneaky hide. However log has disintegrated so no series clue revealed itself. TFTC

#2055 On my way to Chadstone Mall, visiting from Canberra. Cache was an immediate find, but really needs a new container. TFBMH SteMicMitSar.
Quickly found with hint. Lid is off and insides worse for wear. Owner please fix. TFTC
Impossible to find clue given it's current state.

Staying in Melbourne for about a week for some sport and of course some geocaching.
I was out and about exploring around the city and discovered lots of new great places.

A quick and easy find after consulting the hint. Cache is in need of maintenance with lid missing and log exposed to the elements.. thanks..!!
Try to find it when loads of school kids were on the way to school so it was really hard
As mentioned in my found log, the hinge holding the lid to the container has broken, meaning the lid keeps falling off. Container may need replacing.
Also, there's a need for some new log paper, as it's starting to a) fall apart, and b) run out of space.
Thanks!

Found! 01Nov16 @ 6.05pm; Find #6
Brilliant location for this cache! Although I think I lucked out with it being late on a public holiday for searching for this cache, I can imagine how hard it could be for other times of the day/week.
Thank you so much for the fun!

My muggle son asked if we could go to the Bayside Food Fiesta to get doughnuts and I said sure why not and while we're at it can I get a cache. I was convinced that this one was on a certain metal object and wasted to much time searching there. Went to the other object and found the cache straight away. TFTC
On my way to see my last patient of the day, I snuck in a visit to this cache and at first, I searched the wrong metal object. Correcting myself, I crossed the driveway, waited again for the traffic to part and the total weirdos and normal looking mum and baby to walk on past before putting my hand right on the cache. The information was collected, my name was added to the log and I was on my way. TFTC SteMicMitSar.

A gorgeous spring day for caching. I'm starting to become a little familiar with this part of town, which I'd rarely visited prior to caching.
A quick find thanks to the clue. Signed the very fragile log sheet back at the car and gave it a fresh seal bag.
Muggles at a car parked opposite mine seemed a little too curious in what I was up to. So I went and found another cache nearby before returning this one with discretion.
Thanks SteMicMitSar, for the fun hunt in search of another piece of the puzzle.

Quik find and placed back where it was meant to be as it was not where it was meant to be when I found it Thanx for the Adventure
Ooo...lol a cache near by...let's just fetch it. That was my thought train as i was driving around, waiting for mum to finish up at the hospital. Easy find, log signed and returned. Tftc.
Got it. First one so had to work out how to use the compass. Then all good. Thanks.
Tftc was hard at first but I found it and hid from Don0110 and tricked him for a while
Found this morning after dropping the lad off at work experience. GZ seemed fairly open but trusted the gps to point me in the right direction. Signed & returned. Took note of the clue in case we get to finish the series. Cheers!
Nice little hiding spot, the cache was a little water logged the actual log wasn't wet but the container did have water in it.
