Quick find and sign the logbook, thanks lochb for placing the cache.

Quick, easy find. Took nothing but left little cow, dinosaur and bouncy ball.

Picked up this quite frog and cache. Great TB HOTEL, I’ll be bringing my others here to move along.

Yay! Quick find. Dropping a TB from Sydney. What a lovely park. SL TFTC

A great size cache for suburbia. Love it but had to do my searching in between dog walkers so timing is key. Had to giggle at all the location options I tried. Enjoy this one

After introducing my muggle friend Wanho to geocaching while hiking at Mount Dandenong today, he instantly became super addicted and insisted on finding another cache - who could blame him!? So we came here to give it one more shot and get that additional smiley on our map! Actually he was the one who found the cache here, so obviously he’ll be at 1.000 finds in no time! TFTC and greetings from Austria!

Alerted to the palindromeness of the date by our georels Harrowang, we speed-cached this one close to home to score its "Fun in all Directions" souvenir. Lovely to find a cache so clean & dry, considering two recent downpours of biblical proportions. Pencil is missing though, so remember to bring one. A great hidey-hole. TFTC lochb.

Out to fill in another day on the caching calendar on this very hazy hot Melbourne Day. Despite it being midweek, hot and hazy there was an organised cricket match at the oval with a number of Muggles watching including one about 5 metres in front of GZ absorbed in his phone so stealth was a must. We were able to sneak up, make the find and sign the log all without the Muggle knowing we were there. TFTC and bringing us to this park. TNLN. There was no TBs in this cache today.

A nice walk in a park. Cache was eady to find and I took the only traveller in it. 2 others listed in inventory have probably gone missing...

Had lunch nearby with Doctor David. Time is running out in Australia and I still have some TBs to pass on so headed to this cache. I like a decent sized cache. Made it to Auburn as the heavens opened. Thanks.

Thanks for a decent sized suburban cache, I’ve been needing to drop a TB off for a while. Grabbed a TB too. TFTC

Tricky hidey hole

Found after VidConAU 2019 and heading back to Canberra

Yep found with the gang heading back to Canberra after VidCon

Heading back to Canberra. Thought we'd drop off faerie jaqis TB that wants to go to Perth

After a weekend in Melbourne with the family, dropped off a TB that wants to travel to Perth! Thought I'd bring it a bit further west to help it on its way. Took a bit of hunting for the correct tree, but a small flash of colour and poking with a stick soon revealed the cache!

After a long while sticking my hand in the wrong holes in the wrong tree I finally found it. One of the most disappointing things for me as a trackable lover , is constantly finding that the listed TBs are missing. Especially since I ride kilometres to target TB hotels. I wish people would log them properly.
But never mind! Lovely little park and gorgeous big peppercorn trees to enjoy.
Tftc lochb

Had to be super discrete today so pretended to be looking for birds while all the while knowing the likely hiding places. Eventually put my hand on it, quickly signed. Took a moment to watch the football then left. Muggles were none the wiser.

Took 2 TB's to carry on their journey and left another for someone to find. Found after sticking my hand down some web invested hole in another tree, just on dusk I need to have a torch in the car. Great hidey hole.

Quick find after playing basketball at MLC. Just after replacing the cache, a muggle walked through the park - phew! Left a couple of travel bugs. Tftc

Was initially looking around the wrong tree. Introduced my sons friend to geo caching. So much fun. Thanks.

Out jewel hunting for the latest souvenir promotion.
Nice to turn a dnf into a smiley. Tftc

Cache found to be all in good order. A missing trackable inside unfortunately. Thanks for the cache.

Clever spot! We have taken a trackable and will be adventuring overseas!

Fouund and grabbed a tag whike i was there

My son was performing in a concert at M.L.C. this afternoon so I was Mum's Taxi to transport son and his tuba. While he was busy I looked for a few caches to occupy my time.

Today is Federal Election Day and after driving around Hawthorn East I think that I have been past every polling place there is. Auburn Primary School was one and therefore some of the streets around this cache were quite busy with cars. Once I made it to the Reserve there were only a few muggles and their dogs that I had to avoid. The cache was found exactly as per the hint and it was replaced as instructed.

Thank you lochb for this TB drop point cache.

Found @05:30am after a brisk walk across the ova and a brief search through the trees many hidey holes. Took a GC, left a pencil pack and spaceman. TFTC!

A perfect cache to finish the day. Thanks Tina77 for a great caching session! So relaxing AND productive

Nice spot on a nice day (;
TFTC, Tina ^^

Nice quiet park on Easter Sunday and the smell of pepper corn trees. Thanks for being me here.

Not sure why the ladies here were exercising as they all looked pretty good to me, especially considering they all had young babies. Lovely park to be in for whatever reason. Thanks for the cache and bringing us here.

Found it with kangas11 BeckNmonts and Papi4506
Thanks for the cache

Accompanied with crank1, beckNmonts and papi4506 for caching day. Very warm day today. Found it and logged in. Thanks lochb for placing the cache.

Had potential to take awhile but all quiet and it kind of peeled out at the right angle TFTC

Tftc, second attempt at finding. Would recommend caching during the day for this one LOL

Awesome hide! Very cool tree, very fun!

Cricket training in full swing; all eyes should have been on the ball. TFTC

A quick stop here as we were running a tad early on our way into the city. A short stroll and then a short wait for some doggie walkers to pass before we made the find. We also stopped for a look at the cool mural at the end of the street. Thank you lochb

What a sweet little park and a nice easy cache.
Left a trackable.

Tftc

No trackable inside

Nice evening stroll and easy find. TFTC

A nice Sunday and a ride was planned... one that I had thought of from Bayswater to Burnley and caching along the way. Quick find and no TBs in there. Thanks to lochb for placing this cache.

Lots of holes in those trees! TFTC.

Found it after a little bit of searching. Tftc

Thx

Found on a way from running errands and took me longer then I thought.
Despite 3 TBs being supposedly in there was not a single TB in the cache.
TFTC

I happened to be close by to GZ as the geowife had pieces to drop off to the Camberwell Art Show. With an o/s trip later this week it was timely to add vacancy to this tb hotel. tftc

In between jobs and not getting much caching done these days so great to be able to drop off a TB I had. Thanks for the great description since it was dark and I was by myself, really appreciate it

Thanks lochb

Great hidey hole!

Nice and easy cache after a day of DNFs, thanks Although sadly a rather large possum had passed away right next to it, so I a bit smellier than the usual cache

13 Apr 2018, Found @9:46 pm, Find # 1467

After attending the 7 months in Australia event I needed to place a couple of TB’s. I took a detour here on the way home. Definitely not as easy as I thought. Lots of possible hiding places but I got there in the end.

Thanks to lochb for placing this cache

Found by my newbie muggle friend. She's hooked!

#249

In a mad rush to try to get 500 points in 3 days, I was out and about searching for high favourite point caches and solving countless puzzles. Had quite a few DNFs today but overall it was a success. Only one trackable in here today. These TB hotels are always fun. Nice spot as well.

A quiet Easter weekend is an excellent time to do some geocaching, especially with all those souvenirs up for grabs! This one was a fairly quick find, despite the numerous hidey-holes here. Tb dropped. TFTC

On the hunt for caches, didn't take too long. Tftc!

Dropping off some TBs.

Quick find after (baker’s dozen caches today after 2017 awards function) . Picked up trackable to move on thanks lochb for the hide.
Enjoyed a few overs of cricket . Weather. Cool change just arrived. ! Bit like English summer now.

Good clue and in nice location. Tftc

Good cue for a quick find. Nice park area. Made sure I had a gloved hand to grope around inside the hide, as I am reliably told, you never know what you'll find here in Australia in dark spaces!

Easy find in a lovely location

Very pleasant evening (25 now) after hitting 45 as we drove into town this arvo. Wandered over to find this hide after dinner. Quick grab & SL. Left the TB as we already have one travelling with us. Ours was too big to leave. Tftc

Finally a treasure there after two previous visits we had that it was missing. Took Buster the Bunny and left The Travel Lizard Dog Tag.

A nice find to finish the day out with greytiger.

Thank you lochb, for your hide amaali found this very quicky, there were no trackables however to pass along. Good area.

Quick find on a quiet, muggle-free day. Took one TB & discovered the other. Needs more bags & the pencil could do with a sharpen, but otherwise, cache in good order. Thanks for the hotel & TFTC! 0

Hi lochb, belatedly realized this was one of yours! Only one of the listed TB's is still in the cache (Buster), will bring the other I found in there to the mega & hopefully get you to translate its mission. Look fwd to seeing you there & TFTC!0

Virtual tb visit and drop.

Lordy me. Third time lucky on this one. The first time I turned up there was a full match in progress at the nearby oval and I didn’t want to risk compromising the hide. The second time there was a woman with her dog on the open grassy area in front of GZ and I didn’t want to risk it. This time there was a single solitary dog owner who was making her way through the oval and although the dog was very, very friendly to the point of jumping on me as I walked the path and whilst sitting on the bench waiting for them to vacate the area, they did eventually leave the area.
Cache was found soon thereafter, log book signed and a TB (which I’ve had for far too long) dropped off and another taken in it’s place. I can finally put this one down as a find and use it solely for its named purpose in future.

I stopped by this cache today after buying some window cleaning products from a nearby shop and prior to checking out a cache I have planned for Thursday night. We soon made the find without causing any concern to the lawn contractors of guy sitting looking in the other direction eating his lunch. TFTC lochb

Found it.dropped two TB in there.

Found this one now that it's back in play. TFTC

Easy find.
Thanks for the cache!!!!!

Found it, from the bottom! Kids enjoyed this cache!

Cache ready to go again.

Cache has been replaced. Access from the base.

I am really bad with TBs!
I keep saying that I'll drop them off once I've caught up on their travels.
However, I'm also really bad with logging!

Thanks lochb. Great location. Loved the hide and surrounds. Amazingly, I actually had a clear window of opportunity at this time of day!

Time for a check.

No luck here. Pretty sure we had the right spot. Needs some maintenance Birgit

Cache isn't anywhere and with my DNF being the 4th and no finds logged since March, I reckon it needs looking at

Given the previous 2 logs, I have reason to believe this cache has been muggled.

Looked everywhere. Couldn't find it

Didn't find the cache hit i did find a ziplock bag in a space that looked prime for a cache

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.
TFTH

Looked everywhere and found a bag and a pen but no tb container. Hating that when we gave up and someone the same day says it an easy find. We wills be returnings!!!!!

TFTC

Nice quick find, thanks

Today on my last day in Australia doing some Caching in the neighborhood of my brothers new home in Hawthorne East. This evening we fly home to Germany, from 36 degree to -10 degree!!!

Good timing, when I arrived here all the cricketers were leaving so I had the place to myself. GPS led me straight to it, had to be careful of the doggy landmine. Thanks!

I'm over from New Zealand for 4 days to do some geocaching and to attend the Surf Coast Mega Event in Anglesea. On my 4th and last day in Melbourne I headed into the city and surrounding suburbs to pick up a few higher rated caches. i stopped at this TB hotel while out and about, so I could drop off 3 TBs. Once I waited for some dog walking muggles to move on, I soon had the cache in hand. TFTC!

Breezy day with the cricketers in full swing. Easy find, dropped off TB. TFTC

What a beautiful day to sit back and enjoy the sunshine, even got to watch some cricket

It was a pleasure to find a well-placed larger container .

#687 Thirteenth of twenty three finds on a windy and cold day caching around suburban and CBD Melbourne. Found after a short search. TFTC

Took me two attempts today, my geocaching skills seem to be a bit rusty lately. Nice little area, thanks lochb

Quite a few muggles about... quick find in the end. Placed it back out of site tftc

Nice park. No travel bugs or geocoins though. Tftc
