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.
 
23-Feb-18
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
 
13-Feb-18
It was hard and fun
 
09-Feb-18
Good spot can’t BELIVE I didn’t check it before
 
07-Feb-18
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
 
15-Jan-18
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.
 
11-Jan-18
Found the first stage of the geocache but not the other 5 stages yet.
 
09-Jan-18
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.

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.

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!
 
01-Nov-16
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!

NOTE: 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. Will place a maintenance request also.

Another geodaughter find.
 
28-Oct-16
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
 
27-Oct-16
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.

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.
