Definitely right on it, if hint is correct then looks like it might have gone? Nearly 3mths since last find.
Super quick find but the log was all crumbly and in several pieces so was difficult to sign.

Finally catching up on my last two weeks of logs...
Found on a very pleasant walk around the neighbourhood, just trying to get some fresh air and keep the step count up. This proved to be a most aptly named cache today. I first attempted it early in my walk, but there was a young guy very enthusiastically shooting baskets right near where the GPS was pointing. In fact, the GPS was suggesting it was directly underneath where he had sat his bag and phone. Zero chance of attempting it, so I kept walking and figured I would pick it up on the return leg.
Half an hour or so later my journey brought me back to this little park. Sure enough, the young guy was still there throwing his basketball in the air, so I figured I just had to right this one off for today. But just as a I walked past him he spontaneously decided he had had enough, grabbed his bag and phone and wandered off. By sheer luck the coast was suddenly completely clear and I was able to swoop in for the quick find (indeed, directly underneath where his gear had been sitting). TFTC

Rainy day, out by myself on a bike. Found within a few minutes. Didn’t do much with it. Case lid was missing and contents were wet.
Found this one reasonably quickly .. don’t you love it when you think “That’s where I’d hide it .. and you check .. and it’s actually there! thanks Team Yarra and BaLuke for placing the cache.. I am slowly working through the series..
I finally logged onto the geocache website on my computer and found a couple of drafts still yet to be posted.
Spent a lovely day doing this trail. This little number was a nice easy find. Thanks, Team Yarra.

As I was approaching GZ I thought I saw a likely hide and what a surprise I was right. I must tell my wife as she says that I am never right. TFTC.
Luckily for us the park was muggle free today and as a result we were able to make a quick find, retrieval and return. TFTC Team Yarra.

With no-one around due to the weather this was an easy find for us here today.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks for this geocache hide here today, for without someone to hide there would be nothing for us to find.

My fourth find of the day. Luckily there were muggles using the facilities and I had the place to myself. Missed on my first pass but a more thorough search turned up the goods. TFTC
I’d had to dodge this one initially and return, as a muggle mum was playing with her son right at GZ.
Back here now and all found safe and sound. Tftc

Found by Mary and David, in company with pprass, at 15:05:00. Peter had planned ta bike ride for us to follow the series along the trails through the parks. Started out fresh, but gradually the hills took their toll on old legs and on the remaing life of our eBike batteries. Still managed more than 6 hours with about 20% charge left. An interesting series with a variety of hides to keep us on our mental toes. Had to wait for some Council muggles to move awy a bit before we could pounce. Our thanks to baluke.
Found at 3:05 PM GAFF1 in the company of maccamob.
There were gardeners working just a few metres from where we sitting and so we waited a while until they were on the other side of their truck and then it was a quick grab.
Thanks baluke

The fourth of 9 caches this morning in Team Yarra’s A-Z series.
M was for a lone muggle this morning. But with him on the opposite side of the park facing the other way, and me with 2 geohounds, no-one was any the wiser!

A short stroll placed me in a small park with facilities for the very young and the not so young. Thankfully the area was deserted today which allowed for a fast easy fruitful search. TNLNSL. TFTC. Kkams
Again thanks to Team Yarra for your cache, amaali and are doing OK so far, we think the hills are getting to us though.

we found this before and came back to find it again but it seems to be gone
Found it on wrong place. Container is all good. Thanks Team Yarra for placing the cache
It's a beautiful sunny day but the wind just knocked my coffee over 
!!
Co-ords were a little off for me, but the hint lead me straight to it. As another finder hinted, don't be afraid to get your knees dirty for a quick find, but it's not necessary to reach the cache. Easy to be discrete and not too close to the playground so geo-adults on their own like me don't have to feel to suss.

A quick find here.
Cheers baluke

This was a nice quick and easy find which was just as well, as when we got back into the car, there was a young boy right at GZ. Thanks for bringing us here and for the cache.
A thankfully quick find after the last two DNFs. It was still quite early and there was no one about so I could look around and under without bringing attention to myself. Thanks for the cache, Team Yarra. I was feeling back in the game after this one!
Quick find. Again, in my old work area. Brings back work recollections. TNLN TFTC SL. Thanks Team Yarra.
A nice quick easy find on a day out to unashamedly get my numbers up to hit the 2000 mark at the upcoming Alexandra MEGA.
Given this looked so close to "Left TB #75" and was rated as relatively easy I couldn't resist trying to find one more before rushing home. Quick find and sign.
Although not generally numbers driven I do become a little focused on them as I approach a 000 milestone. I have a particular cache in mind for the milestone and I thought that tomorrow’s public holiday would be an ideal time to snaffle it as well as collect a couple of other caches on the agenda.
However to do any of that at leisure I needed to find ten caches today. What better way to achieve that than to pick up the alphabet based power trail in the north-eastern suburbs.
The Bronte playspace according to the entry signs. Not sure that Emily was into basketball or play equipment on tanbark but it’s the thought that counts? There was only one namesake with her doggle at the play equipment and she had retreated to the other side of the equipment by the time I began searching the structure. A quick find after establishing which one was the hide.

Boy had torch, dad had iPhone, iPhone won as boy was way more interested in the climbing apparatus. Can't blame him. TFTC
After two DNFs along this string, finally found one for my 75th totally find... 25 to go till 100! TFTC
Not a muggle in sight. Quick, easy find. Life's book full. Managed to find a space to squeeze in my log.

Arrived on scene with Mrs Welder. The park was very quiet tonight. This was a nice quick find for us, which was nice after a DNF around the corner just a few minutes beforehand.
What I really liked about this cache was the attachment method. When it comes to this style of container you need all the space you can get for the log. So, it makes much more sense to attach from the outside, as wonderfully demonstrated here.
Nonetheless, someone had over enthusiastically jammed the container with swag causing this logbook to suffer a bit of discomfort. I signed in and extracted the offending item before replacing and admiring the simple perfection of the attachment once more.
Thanks baluke. Nicely done. This cache is simple but effective and well executed.

There with ICW on a muggle-free afternoon, except for a family of magpies. The log is FULL. Tftc.
Geokid #1 found this one!!! Great spot again!!! New log book needed.... Wet and full!
