Exact cache location has been removed. Lets archive this for now, and maybe put something else her another time.

The signs have gone, along w cache
perhaps replace or dare i say archive?

Will need to take a look. I don't get here much. No really I don't.

Did look around but cant find it anywhere..
hope that you can check if it's still there.

There was no sign of the sign here.
As I'm tardy in logging, and the cache is already disabled...
We'll be back another time iamapom.

Looking at the hint, it appears that GZ has changed a little - there are two posts left (on each side), but no sign. Might be worth checking?

Stop by quickly, but couldn't see any sign?

*sad face... just a quick look today as it was raining quite heavily. Thought it was going to be an easy one from the previous comments. I'll be back again soon

That was easy The log's wet and rusty.

Found @ 8:15pm, find # 1260.
On the way home from the leap event we stopped off at this one for a quick find.
Thanks to iamapom for this cache.

I've never been here before but I have now. A really quick find with parking available close by
Thanks iamapom

Found 13:20, in the company of Muzza.

TNLN, CSI=1, thanks iamapom

On the way out to the event, I did a suicidal dash across the road for a quick find. Never been to this place before.
Thanks, Robmc.

Nice easy find at night time after work.
Been here before.

Nice quick find with Troobloo. SL TNLN T4TC

Gotcha, TFTC

Who was watching me through those mirrored windows? Hopefully nobody today! A quick find, sign, and replace. Cheers!

Early on a Sunday evening seemed a good time to grab this one and so it turned out. Had periods of no traffic in either direction which made for a quick search with a quick find. Thanks to iamapom for this one.

Easy find @ 17:45hrs (as I recall being here before)except for muggles and passing traffic which were a bit of a problem.Thanks for the cache iamapom.

Easy cache to find in the middle of the night

Found with a work colleague after a run to st Vincents! Neat hide, TFTC!

Night time grab, easy caching! Tftc!

Night time grab, easy caching! Tftc!

found @ 02:10 with dad (ross47)

We went in to pick up mum from the tennis.
Quick find in the rain.

Never realised how busy the city is even at that time of the night/morning.

TFTC

A quick find @ 02:10 in the company of emeraldflame. We were heading in to pick up the geowife after her shift at the tennis, and this one was on the way there. What can I really say about highlighting this location - hmmm, whatever floats your boat...

The reference to astronomy in a prior log had me for a while - thanks google!

Thanks to iamapom for bringing us here (I think) and for the cache.

Good hide with smilingbob

I was on my way home from training in the city and had grabbed two that I had already "found" in the few days prior but without a pen I had to revisit them to sign the logs. This was on the way home so I thought I'd try for it as well. I wish I had a dollar for every trip I've done along Hoddle St. on my way to St. V's in the 20 or so years I had a working relationship with that institution. This business has been here for most of that time by my memory. It sure adds an alternative to computer solutions and petrol stations. The clue mad the retrieve easy (especially at 11:00pm) although signing those logs is a bugger. Once I had made my mark I returned the cache and headed for home. Thanks iamapom for the first interesting diversion I have had on this stretch of road.

Quick find, after dealing with someone wanting directions. Rode the bike down from work, much easier than trying to park around here! Thanks for the cache.

Easy find, TFTC iamapom. Oddly, my favourite part of this cache is the name, once I realised what it meant.

Found by The Empire
Find number 2 of 6 this afternoon. Quick find, I didn't realise the shop was open until some people came out! Thanks for the cache iamapom.

Found January 18 2012

One of five finds for the day out with the geoniors on an absolute pearler of a day.

As it was pretty much the middle of the day this was a very straight forward find.

Parked right next to GZ and the geoniors stayed in the car while I ducked out to grab it.

No gunshots today...

TFTC

TFTC easy find at night

Didn't know what a nano was so didn't realise we had found it the first time. Successful find with SC Luke the second time. Tftc!!!

Very quick find but gps is out by 10ms . Use your initiative.

Quick find, just passing by after a quick stop at mcdonalds. Late night caching with kupkakekaos. Tftc

Cocomustard found this early needed to log it. Now we have. Mission accomplished.

19th find of 20 on a caching day out with first cousins 'one gen' Brynbuno and R36 and second cousins. Thanks for the cache, and for the day Team Green

Easy find thanks. Number 19 out of 20 caches for the day, out with brother R36 and family, and second cousins Team JEK. Great Melbourne weather - howling rain, brilliant sunshine, gusty winds, a few showers, a bit of wind burn and a bit of sunburn! Caches were just as varied, five types in a day. Fabulous day out, Thanks Team Green T4TC

Out for a fantastic and very successful days caching with Sister Bryn Beuno and Second Cousins Team JEK.
One of 20 for the day!! Thanks Guys.

Nice micro! Good spot too. Done a few micros now so found pretty quickly. I used to work 2 doors up so I knew straight away once I saw the map. Tftc.

My first day back at work after a couple of weeks off and what better way to celebrate than for a quick cache on the way in. I'm an early starter so not too much traffic on Hoddle st at this time.
Found quickly between traffic light sequences using the hint and signed while walking. I turned around and replaced quickly between what few cars were on the road.
Thanks iamapom for a good start to my first day back.

I headed out tonight to meet up with my best mate Marshy (Blacklegend) for one of our huge caching night runs. We had no major plans for the night as we usually do as there had been so many new caches published since we last met up, so we just winged it for the night.
The cache name had us thinking, 'what the' for a while but our background in astronomy and once we arrived at GZ we quickly worked out what it was all about.
A quick find and the nano master, Marshy, had it done in no time.
Thanks for the hide.

One of 26 on another legendary night caching run with my best mate and caching buddy Marty aka Quasar3671. The cache name all made sense when we got here. Quick find with a great hint. TFTC.

My first cache find in Melbourne.

Mister Snuffel
The Netherlands/Holland

Quick and easy find. TFTC!

Found today together with nadya

7.20pm While my nights are free at the moment I can get to cache for a couple of hours after work and enjoy the coolness of the night. Taking advantage of very little traffic around the city at this time of the year it was the best time for me to do this one. Parked in Gipps Street and went for a walk.
Nice easy find.
Thanks for the cache iamapom, love them

Quick find and back into the car to sign. What are muggles doing walking along Hoddle St. in 40 degree heat?

Edit: spelling fix. Darn mobile phones.

Quick find.

Found @ 01:30. I joined up with kellyhaunts and Spladem for an awesome night run. The main thrust of the exercise was to each reach a personal milestone before the end of the year; Adam's #2000, Joe's #1100, and mine #400 and also to get 100 finds in a month.
We were driving past here, so the guys stopped for me to pick up a quick find.
Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and find 9 of 17.
Thanks for the cache iamapom.

An easy find this morning, not many muggles or much traffic. TFTC

I travel past this place on my way home for work, but I would never contemplate searching at that time of day - the cars are usually stopped dead there for much of the time. Today, in the middle of the day (and over the holiday period), there were no such problems, so it was an easy find. Thanks for the cache, iamapom.

I think that ssmc4 doth protest too much.....

#40!
Whoa, that's a nano alright.
After a bit of head scratching we found it.

Great spot, TFTC!

Found myself in the area and decided to return for another search - Found exactly where I first searched as few days prior. Thx iama for the well placed hide.

i headed off nice and early this morning. and being a saturday, it was quite easy to park.
a great hid. in a place i have never been. but always giggle when i drive past.
having a pulp fiction moment.
fav point too. [:x]

23/12/2011 17:21 Last day of work for the year so I decided to grab a cache on the way home. Caught an Epping train and got off at Collingwood. A short stroll later and I was at GZ. The GPS wanted to move me about 5m away but I guessed where it should be hiding. Easy find using braille. TFTC TNLN SL

That's one of the interesting things about geocaching - it often given you an insight into the personality and lifestyle preferences of the cache owner.
Thanks iamapom.

This was third on my pre-shopping diversion this morning. I parked legally , got out, read the hint , nabbed the stash at 10:20, signed the log (in the car), replaced said stash and was on my way without looking in the least bit suspicious .

I still don't know what this place is but I've been past it a million times. Does that count ?

TNLNSL, although our BYO pen geocoin had a visit to mark the occasion. Thanks iamapom.

After work I found myself with a few hours spare before I was due home so I made most of the time and went out looking for leapfrog caches and some GC traditional caches that seem to have popped up in the last couple of days. There was no way I was going to ever think I'd arrive here. I have never seen this place before, but wanted to make sure my searching was really quick so I read the hint from inside the car. I then got out, made the find and moved off to sign it. The stroll past to place the cache back was much quicker, although the front door blew open while I was there and I was able to see some of the articles on display. I'm not sure if I should thank iamapom for the cache?? It was a really interesting location. Yer ok, thanks iamapom for the cache.

(Rated 4 stars with [url=http://www.gcvote.com]GCVote[/url])

Searched in obvious spot - it appears to have been muggled. Perhaps a status check is in order

It is not often that I get to go for a walk from home and get two caches! I wasn't alert to when they were published so missed the FTF but knowing what this street is usually like decided that it had to be today (Sunday).

Indeed it was pretty quiet and there were no interruptions to the search which didn't take long anyway thanks to that good hint. Thanks iamapom.

I was at a non christmas, non birthday bbq at a friends. When Collingwood vs Hollywood published I took a look and saw the area and thought nah.. then 5mins later this published and I misread the distance and thought it was essentially in the suburb I was in.. I jumped in the car with my mates son (he's hooked on ftf hunting now and cant wait to get his licence).. We were soon on the way here, it was great to have a quick learner riding shotgun and reading the cache page out for me aswell as letting me know coords etc.. We went first to the Collingwood one as it was on the way, however due to poor coords we found no cache so after 10minutes came to this one.. A very quick find was made.. whilst signing the log 80degrees arrived, we were soon heading off towards Colling vs Holly.. *FTF* with Jude..

First to log but not FTF. We were eating (drinking?) pho in nearby Victoria Street when this one was published. raffa27815 made quick work of the find. Thanks iama.

Spent too much time slurping soup to get this one first. I suggested to josiey that she should come back here to finish off the Christmas shopping.

**2TF** - Just. Missed the notifaction on this and the one nearby but decided to come for the run anyhow. Pulled up to see someone with the cache in hand doing paper work on the bonnet - Spladem and a friend Jude - After quickly signing the log we headed off as a group to try for the other new one nearby.
