Multiple DNF's in a row should signify that something is wrong. I have also had a look as I have found it before and nothing is there. I would be happy to adopt it if you need someone as I live on the street.
Been a while since it was last found. Could not see anything. Alas. Tis a good spot and lovely poem!
We found the friendly tenant but no log book to be found. Looks like someone has been very rough with this one and parts of the 'abode' have been destroyed. I could be way off track here but something doesn't seem right. Might pay for the owner of this cache to check on it. Was a great little hide otherwise Cheers

We had a fair bit of searching for this one, and in the end resorted just to looking at every tree in the vicinity. Finally came up with the goods. Thanks for the cache.
Great cache. Got scared by the occupant amd hit the roof. Took a ring. Left $1 coin. NOTE. Original log book sopping wet inside plastic bag. Needs removing by owner.
Find #522
On a cold wet evening I must admit it wasn't too much fun to be out caching but I was determined to find one for the day to keep a streak going. After my monthly book club meeting in Hampton and a couple of nearby DNFs I headed to this one. Parked nearby and headed into the park torch in hand. Once the GPS settled I zoned in on the search area. Didn't take too long and I had this tricky one in hand. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log. Thanks for the cache RoodeFive. A few other plans I had for progressing multis in the area were shelved as I gratefully headed north to get warm and dry indoors.

Guardian in place. Thanks for hint about looking further north as soon became clear
Muggles left park so we soon closed our web. Great cache with star pearl

Found with Quiet1_au. We did this cache first and then the other (Rhymes and Lyrics) so we had no comparison to make. On arrival at Gz there were a few people around so we waited and then started to search. No luck. We extended our search area searching indifferent directions. I came across a place we thought likely although about 10m out. Concentrating on this Q soon had the well cammoed cache. Nice work. Thanks Roodefive

Out of a lovely winter's afternoon for some catch-up caching to our friend lochb's previous finds, G' of GJMMelb and I headed to GZ thinking it should be an easy find, but after searching the bushes and having no luck I belatedly checked the cache description. Ah... After a bit of decoding I thought we were looking at the wrong things so we expanded our search area and eventually came to the most interesting option where I was lucky to spot the camouflaged cache. The guardian has become a bit wayward so was reunited as best we could after we signed the replacement logbook (the original is soggy and really should be taken and dried out BTW) TFTC, as G' noted the coordinates seemed 10m or more out for us on the day.
First cache in a while found fairly easily. Nice touch with the 8 legged friend TFTC
This is my second cache find and my first time signing the book.
Good description; I loved the spider!

Find [u]#759[/u]
As we are want to do, the Physics Teacher and I scheduled a little escapade full of fun and caching on a typical winters night. Why we seem to never do this during the lovely warmer months I will never understand. This was find 15 of 25 in total for the evening.
[Blue]Took a little while to find this as we initially hunted around where the GPS's were indicating. Upon widening the search area a little and checking some previous logs we eventually made the fairly simple hide of the well camouflaged cache.
Incidentally, for future finders checking logs, we found this approximately 5 meters north of the zero reading.[/Blue]
Thanks to RoodeFive for the cache and the fun!

Found this one on a late night caching run with ghetts, the tree being already thick with late night web danglers, spotting the cache and guardian resulted slightly frayed nerves. Great cache spot and neat camo. TFTC=D
Went down here with Gerry83, pretty happy I had my gloves along with me when I noticed a little 8 legged friend. Thanks for the cache and the scare!
Found the cache but the log book had no pen in it. Will come back soon to log my find. Watch out when finding it though. Could be a bit scary!!
Found it, but nowhere near the coordinates. Gave up looking at the compass and just looked around for an obvious place for the cache.
A fierce guardian standing watch over the cache but managed to placate it before retrieving the contents. TFTC!
Found this one today. Thanks to Ollie Baggins for doing maintenance on this cache. Took a while to locate this one and I only got it after reading all the previous logs that were on my gps. Signed log but didn't swap anything. Of note the inside of the cache container is starting to gather water but the logbook and geocaching notes are safe in their ziplock bags.
Thanks for the cache RoodeFive.

Out for a morning cache run with the geodog with this park being the 1st stop. Thanks to the previous finder Ollie Baggins the cache was found as detailed in their log nice and safe with a fresh log to sign. Favourite for the camo as it startled the wife when I handed it to her whilst I signed! Haha.
I went out for an early morning cache bike ride today. This cache was re-enabled again yesterday, so this morning I set off to see if I could still find it and cross it off my list. We have walked my in-laws dogs many times to this park when our young GeoKid was much smaller and often looked after by them. I initially searched around GZ but found nothing. There was lots of new mulch added so I was beginning to feel doubtful of making a find. Then I expanded the search to more likely places and found the poor thing just lying on the ground out in the open. The log book inside was soaked together. Luckily I had a spare note book in my pocket and a snap log bag. Signed the new log book and added it into the cache. I kept the old soggy one inside the cache in case the CO wanted to retrieve it someday. I wasn’t sure where the cache was supposed to be but from the look of the cache and its guardian, I took a good guess. It’s now about knee height for any future Cachers that might be searching for it. It is also close to where I found it which is about six or so metres Northish from the published GZ co-ords. Otherwise thanks for the great looking cache. It’s camo is still mostly intact.
Still haven't replaced the wet log book but in the meantime the cache can still be enjoyed. Will get round to replacing the logbook soon.
Needs maintenance due to wet log and contents, will hopefully be back up and running within 48 hours
I could see the evidence of recent searching but the hint didn't really match where the GPSr was zeroed at...a quick review of the logs and I saw I needed to expand my search area 10m and there it was in its glorious camo...the logbook is very very soggy but today I didn't come with a spare log book. Perhaps the next finder could come prepared. Thanks RoodeFive.
I adored Rhymes and Lyrics, so I was super-excited about this one. Dusk fell during my hint, leaving me in the dark and a little fearful re: 'the tenant.' After about 20 unfruitful minutes, I checked the logs and found the new co-ords. Cache and tenant were in my hand in no time.
Beautiful camo and placement!
On the curly-haired cache front, this is only a 1 twig cache, however, I still managed to get completely entangled in a neighboring tree while effecting my exist. *sigh*

After the one down the road good to find this one, log damp and camo... starting to come off, but still clever and thanks for the hide away from the playground. FAV....
Awesome camo! After I read that it wasn't at the exact co-ords (though not far out), managed to sleuth it out easily.
It is quite wet.

Got the headlamp out and used the updated co-ords, and found the cache. Nice camo. The log is slightly damp, but not damp enough to be unwriteable. TFTC
TFTC. Second for the day. Cache a bit wet. Used alternate set of coordinates from posted logs. Liked the camouflage.
Aaaaaaaah stupid spider. JKS wasn't scary but nice camouflage. Second for the day. Thank u.
Another good one, although the published coordinates didn't get me all the way to the cache. Read some logs and keyed in the ones I found there which are spot on. A creepy crawly cache guard had me pause for a moment and then I had the cache in hand. TFTC, Biggles.
I've been meaning to get this cache out of the way for some time as it's pretty close to the Squalid abode and today was the day. I used Rebel Acts updated coordinates and went straight to the spot. Good disguise, but log damp - cache could use some TLC. Thanks for the hide.
This was my third attempt at this cache and I finally found it . However I think the co-ords need to be updated as I only found it after looking through past logs for hints (Thanks Rebel Acts )

Operation reach 999 was hatched earlier in the week so all of KTCvic could be present to achieve 1000 finds. So 16 caches were needed when we headed out at 6pm tonight, so with impending rain on the horizon it wasn't going to dampen our spirits. A few were gathered on our way for a magnificent dinner at the Steak Bank in Ormond, yummy eye fillet cooked blue so tender they melted in our mouths. After dinner we tackled quite a few of Two Drews caches around Moorabbin and Highett and a few others to complete our task whilst the rain was steadily falling.
Parking the GeoCruze in the nearby street we walked in to the park making our way to GZ, Trent followed his phone whilst Katy followed her instincts and the geotrail. Katy making her third find in a row. Log was signed and cache was replaced.
Thanks for the cache RoodeFive.

Out for another epic caching day with BorisB&Natasha. This was find #15 for the day and also the last as the light was fading fast and there was no sign of the weather improving. Had to wait in the car for a couple of muggles to leave before the search could begin, thanks to past logs the cache and its companion were quickly located. Thanks RoodeFive for the cache.
Out for a fun day of caching with Pea bear today. After waiting out several muggles with pooches we went in for the hunt. After reading previous logs we knew exactly where to look. Cache quickly found but were a little reluctant to touch. Phobias aside, a very well camouflaged cache. Thanks RoodeFive for the cache.
4th one today...thanks for bringin us to this park. My daughter got to enjoy 3 parks with play gyms so far today. She was chuffed and exhausted by the afternoon. GZ was about 10m north, thanks to some previous logs.
One of our favourites. Love the position and the cache! Our marbles from a while ago still there
Found this morning after school drop off. Beautiful lorikeets calling to each other making a ruckous in the trees. Read the logs and went straight to the likely spot where the cache was easily found. Very cool cache container, took a photo to show the kids later! SL, TNLN. Cheers!
We found this cache today at 3:40pm as the 14th of 21 on our Lap of Southland Afternoon. Spent a bit of time looking around GZ before stopping to read other logs and finding that others had measured the cache to be 10m out to the north. Once we tried this spot, it was an immediate find. Thanks from D B-A.
Was getting dark and made searching too difficult without a proper torch.. Immemma and I will be back again in daylight to give it another go..
will have to come back to this one, as it was getting dark and previous comments said it wasn't on the co-ords, but it sounds interesting, look forward to coming back
Found it after checking the logs. Cache is a good 10m off of GZ.
Still enjoyed the find, TFTC
Found with Rabbitto

Out on a lovely Sunday morning cache run. Looked around for a few minutes, the got scared, signed the log and had to sneak out the side way to avoid muggles that just arrived in the park. TFTC.
Find #910. Found @ 22:55 to grab my cache box tick for p366. I looked for a while at the posted coordinates but had no luck, I then started reading some past logs. I found one from good mate shogun- where he listed a slightly different set of coords. I used these which did the trick.
Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables.
Thanks for the cache RoodeFive, and the refined coordinates shogun-.

Like your handiwork! Good cache with nice clues. Found on small run. Good hide and giving it a favourite. Tftc.
Second attempt and happily it was found. This time I paid less attention to the (VERY FAR OFF) co-ords and more heed to the logs and my cacher sense. Found in the 3rd spot checked quite quickly. Loved the idea and although it was less of a fright due to log warnings i still had a great time with the guardian. A nicely hidden (but very far off co-ords) cache and in good condition too. Loved the detail in the listing, signed and was off.

From previous logs realised coords would be off so went to the obvious place according to the eloquent description. Talk about giving a person a fright!
Another well concealed cache by RoodeFive.
I found the co-ordinates out by about 8 metres, but then used my brain instead of my gps and widened my search to include the obvious location.
A good laugh when I did locate the cache.
Took nothing, left $100 note

Walked straight up to gz while the GPS settled, but headed of elsewhere to look. Read the logs to realise the error of my ways and headed back for a quick find.
Search quite a while for this one. Gps was going silly on me so i widened my search, And yes did jump back when I pulled the cache container out. Such a girl I am!!!! Great hide. TFTC.
You should update your coords
ALSO
log slightly damp, may want to give Camo a bit of a haircut, i suspect it is compromising the o-ring

one of about a dozen we snagged on an enjoyable run down to Bayside from northern Burbs with team Yarra (Atraversiamo and BelleAkelea).
We even managed to catch a spectacular sunset while enjoying fish 'n chups at Black Rock.
Overall a v pleasant night
Coords about 10m too south from actual hide which is close to fence line on Eddie st. Nicely constructed though, enough to give AV a bit of a scare finding it just as we were about to give up.

On night hunting trip with Baluke and Atraversiamo. Beautiful night for hunting , watching the sunset and being with friends. After reading that the co-ord where out we split off and searched all over. Almost going to call it a no find when a little squeal ....not sure if delight or fright fromn Atraversiamo had us signing the log . . TFTC
Suscoe was wandering about Melbourne today.
This was find number two of ten.
A lovely park area, took a little while with the GPS wandering about.
A nice container, log signed and returned.
Strange to see a bike parked under a tree bout no one about.
Thanks to RoodeFive for showing us this area.

After a visit to the dentist (shudder!), Bettyboo3747 and I erased the memory with a few quick caches.
Played a bit in the sword grass before Bettyboo read some logs and out search expanded.
We still didn't get it until we read the description - then it was obvious.
Thanks, Robmc.

# 2877. With Robmc caching around the area this morning trying to find a few before it gets too hot. By now it is warming up however. Parked near the little park and found a way in. A playground with no-one there - amazing and wonderful. Rob got badly cut by some spikey flowers before we looked at some previous logs and widened our search by several metres. Might be time to update the cache page with correct coordinates, as supplied by previous finders. Luckily Rob was the one to find and retrieve the cache. TFTC
Trying to catch up finds from months ago, apologies for the belated log.
15th found in the company of lochb and Alansee.
Luckily for us we checked the logs prior to searching which prevented to us from being pricked from the sword-grass!
Thanks RoodeFive for this cache.

Found with Princess Diala and lochb. After a short search we checked previous logs and then spread our search a bit and soon had the nice camo to hand in a logical cache hiding spot. Thanks RoodeFive. Coords could probably do with a check though.
Alansee had this cache in hand quickly after we had checked previous logs. Glad we didn't have to search through spiky grass. TFTC
The coordinates were about 9m off but I had read tge cacge description and an area looked perfect, I liked the hide on this one. I have taken a reading and attached it to my log. Thanks RoodeFive for the cache.
