Couldn't locate this one unfortunately.
Enjoyed the stroll around the lake though.

Awesome cache. Loves this one. Definately a big favourite. Very clever hide. Barely any muggles, which is a big plus.
Such a nice park. Been a long time since i had time to slowly walk around and enjoy a park like this. Great cache. Thanks.
Tiny, but great location. Couldn't sign it because we didn't have a pen.
Second find for the day. It was very hot today so this was a quick park and grab, no walk around the lake for me today. What a great cache I like when people put a bit of effort into there construction.
A lovely pond and peaceful Wednesday morning. I couldn't have asked for a better start for my holiday in Australia - and only 3 hours after touchdown at Tullamarine Hiding technique is relatively common back at home but nevertheless it's nice & efficient. Thanks for bringing me here.
Good hunting. Careful of snakes though. One of our kids screamed that she saw one. We didn't see it but you can never be too careful.
A really nice idea for a cache, with a carefully thought out title. Being called a micro, the container was far larger than we expected.
After signing the log we strolled over to the lake and hopped across the rocks in the centre.

Found with jociah452. So very clever. Kudos to the effort with the geocache. TFTC.
Found this cute cache with h.kimpang and JJV. Coordinates led us to a different area, but an image helped us. Thanks for this creative cache! =)
We parked the geomobile not far from GZ (so we thought) just as the sun was going down. We then headed off following the gpsr, only to find the cliff top drop off. We headed back to the path to find a safe way down, when we arrived at GZ the light had fallen right off, to by mobile phone torch light we started searching and made the find. Very cool hide, but didn't see the Cuckoo . Tftc SL fav point added.

Great bit of workshop time and well worth it. Whilst accessing the cache a number of birds seemed to resent by presence, what a great place. Easy fav
We took 9 kids on their (and our) first geocaching adventure, and this was a perfect pick for newbies.

On my way over to my sisters for the day so I checked out a couple on the way. This space brings back memories as my sister used to live opposite this lake when it was a dump. I remember the sea gulls would be in their hundreds picking through the rubbish. My sister did well when she sold up as they had turned into what it is now. This was a nice easy find and so cute. It gets a favourite from me. My only problem was I came out of the park and turned the wrong way (I am renown for that) It took me some 45 minutes to find the car again.
Thanks for bringing me back Pies111

Out and about for the evening with a mixed group to do the nearby night cache, we couldn't resist taking a detour to grab this cache on our way round. With a variety of devices indicating several different directions, we all eventually converged on GZ and quickly found this very cute hide. A couple more moments and we had the logbook in hand and several more names were added.
Thanks Pies111 for a clever hide !

Out tonight nightcaching with Bushfire Jamie Appleford BuckleysBabe Timmo98 and Elkins.
A stumble around in the bushes until this was soon spotted.
A very nice hide in a very nice spot - thanks for the cache out here!

After a chat with Jacko83 in Geelong it was decided that we would have a trip to Melbourne for a crack at this night cache so along with Buckleysbabe, Timm098, and a couple of cachers who I had not meet before Jamie Appleford, Elkins88 who meet us at the gates to this great reserve.
There was one other here as well and that was Bentley though being a dog who really thinks it is human and a cacher at that. Hates to be left behind even though we were only a few metres away.
On our wander around this great area we discovered that this cache was only 300m away so we changed our direction and headed to this cache.
The undergrowth is quite thick here but we soon had the well designed container in our sights and then worked how to retrieve the log.
Log signed by all it was time to resume our original quest. Thanks Pies111 for placing this guy.

Found it! Great find. Extremely creative. Left something personal of mine behind that I hope someone can enjoy.
Although we didn't park in the ideal spot for this cache we were pleasantly surprised by what we discovered when we finally found our way into the park. This was one of those spots where you regret being here on a night run as it restricts the opportunity to discover what appeared to be a great area. We did however find a well constructed cache and after wrangling away the spider that had made the cache home we were able to sign the log. A great location and a well constructed cache definitely gets a favorite from me TFTC
On a night run with nanton34 and an impulse decision to drive further from home and grab a few caches in unfound "counties". With no real plan in place this one took us by surprise. We did not expect to be walking down and up rocky ridges or see lakes etc after walking across a flat track playground and oval before crossing a road to reach the park entrance. It would be good to check this out during the day. Aside from the spider on the well constructed container we had no trouble finding this one. A fav point for the location, container and experience.
What an awesome area! I have driven through and around Newport for years, but never realised that this place existed! Peaceful and tranquil, just what we all need in our busy lifestyles! I'm definitely going to bring Bessie the geodog with me next time!
TFTC!

Visited this cache whilst in the park doing a night cache. My two geo-companions had already done this before but let me lead the way. My GPSr was not behaving itself but with a few helpful hints, I stumbled across the cache.
What a fabulously well constructed cache! I loved these types and hope one day to construct and release similar types of caches. I poked, twisted and prodded around the cache trying to open it. Eventually managed to open and retrieve the logbook. There was a party blower inside so we blew it to celebrate!
SL & replaced everything. Great work Pies111. Favourite point from me.

TFTC. Excellent hide and a lively spot. Although I have lived in the area for40 years have never been here.
First geocach in a long time due partner going though chemo great find thanks
McWillid and I decided to try finding some caches in the western side of Melbourne as there seems to be a lot with plenty of favourite points in the area. This was our first cache of the day. We struggled to find the hide at first but after seeing a trail made by other cachers, we headed in that direction and we saw the well-constructed hide! It took us a while to find the log, but after a bit of fiddling, McWillid managed to retrieve it. Nice one! TFTC!
Here I am out in the west again for an orienteering event and this gives me the opportunity to pursue my other passion, geocaching.
Great hide, wandered down the hill in search of something and it turned out to be something great.
Thanks for placing this cache Pies111

Found on our Tuesday evening caching adventure after having a BBQ picnic dinner in Newport Lakes. TFTC
Found with JelenaGreenleaf, very cute hiding spot!! Spotted it from a bit away but spent a few minutes trying to access the cache - pull dont twist! Tftc!!
Found with georocks101. Such a cute hide, but took us a while to figure out how to open it. The spider gave us a bit of a fright too. TFTC!
Vewy twicky!! Loved this inventive hide with a twist. It was a real tweet! No TB in here time to log that one as lost I think. Beautiful park thank you for bringing us here to this hidden gem.

A sweet cache here today. A bit of trouble locating it initially, but really no problems and I love the effort that has gone into the container. A lost art to be sure.
Took nothing, left nothing.

Decided to go for a stroll around this bird sanctuary as I haven't been here in some time and wanted to feel the air on my cheeks and hear nature..
And of course brought my mobile device. It's been some time since I've hunted, good to know I've still got the knack
Nice workmanship here Pie111! Thanks for the cache.

We went looking for this one after the nearby Meet and Greet Event tonight.
As we were making our way through all the way-points for the night cache, we diverted to do this one.
[blue]I was just as surprised as the pair of Blue Wrens that we discovered at GZ.[/blue]
Then the real cache was found close by.
Very nicely constructed Pies111.
Thank you for placing this cache.
Visited some TBs.

Found this one while doing the Diver at Night cache with Team Ruphace, n0w0rries and myself. We took a slight detour from the path we were on and went looking for this one. It initially took a while to locate the actual cache and then to work out the twist. Excellent designed cache and after signing the log we returned to continue the other cache. Favourite point awarded for this ingenuity of this one.
Thanks for the cache Pies111.

Wow, this is another first for me, I have only seen one of these on YouTube, and while it wasn't overly hard, it was fun to work out. TFTC. No travel bug.
What a cool hide! I hadn't seen one like this before, but lucky for me, my caching buddy had. MrsBlackDuck had this one covered! We had fun getting this one open, even with MrsBlackDuck's info!
