FLETCH Maribyrnong, Victoria, Australia
By Kia1 on 03-Jul-13. Waypoint GC4FGB5

Really great view/ spot. Looked for about 20 mins, with breaks to stop and look casual when joggers would pass. Will have to try again.

Found at 11:57 am by Olga with Yessi on a trip to pick up our camper in Melbourne

LouLouiLewis @ son... Another good find for a beaut sunny Melbourne day.

Tried and failed

Too many places too look, too much broken glass. Might have to look again another time

What a great view from here. A nice hide too. I needed a TOTT to get the logbook out. Thank you Kia1 for placing and maintaining FLETCH for us to find today.

Boom, what a view.

Thankyou. Clever disguise

Home to several earwigs

Fantastic spot! Thanks!

What a cool hide! Had to drop a favourite point. After finding I took a few minutes to relax on the branch and enjoy the viewTFTC

Perfect camo, almost had me fooled for a second. Lovely spot to sit and relax. Thanks for the hide.

26 May 2024 5:24 pmCaching buddy: Yin~YangNice one, returned as found Thank you Kia1 for placing and maintaining this cache. I've enjoyed finding it. Tftc

Nice, easy find. All in good condition. TFTC

Didn't have a pen, but reporting it as found to let people know it's ready for them to find.

No luck here as I searched in the dark for 20 minutes.

Forgot a pen! Here is proof

GEOCACHE #113 (29/03/2024)

Found while out and about on a mini caching adventure today.Scoured a likely hiding place before almost giving up, then decided to avert my attention elsewhere. Gotcha!TFTC

I liked this hide very much. I do enjoy the doggie tribute caches - i can imagine taking my puppers here.No problems with the cache. It's rehidden and ready for the next person.

Another clever little cache for the Westsiders! TFTC & also for the view

Clever, no ants or spiders but if you bring your dog watch out for shards of glass @ ground zero TFTC , RIP

Sadly Fletch passed away on the 6/12/2023, RIP Fletchy 2007 ----- 2023

Thanks found in dark great hide

Great cache on a walk with mum through the park saw it immediately I guess my cache instincts kicked in the, view from here was beautiful TFTC find 177.

Lucky easy find: David

Surprisingly found this one so quickly!! Such a fun find TFTC!

easy. next

Loved the cheeky hide, thanks!

Unfortunately this one was left quite out in the open so it was very easy to spot but we placed it back in its correct location for the next to find. A nice area here, thanks for the cache

found on a return trip! forgot a pen but here’s proof. was truly stumped until i said out loud to myself ‘…unless?’ and there it was! no spiders or ants to report today, thankfully TFTC!

Ants had got to it before us!

Interesting that the last person to find it said there was a spider... because now the cache is the home to many many ants. I'm here at dusk and it is a nice view of the city, just seeing the setting sun reflect on the buildings is rather picturesque.
I did find the logbook.. but I won't be signing it as it was covered in ants.
Nice spot for a hide, but needs maintenance. Tftc

Believe I found it but looks like a little spider decided to make cache it's new home so I didn't bother reaching in for the log. Excellent cache bravo

Find #13326

After doing the Maribyrnong parkrun, as part of my oxfam trailwalker training, I did a secondary loop, walking this time and stopping for caches along the way.

Massive thanks go to Kia1 for placing this one.

Big things are continuing to happen! *Are you joining the fun again in 2023?*

Found with Bogonghazy. Great hide. Thanks Kia1 for placing the geocache

Hope the broken glass doesn’t affect Fletch on his next wander. On a merry mighty multi mission that includes this LGA. Good reason to explore marvellous Melbs and it’s many parks. Nice spot for the adjacent neighbourhood. TFTC and the fun!

Amazing view

Surprisingly my hands went straight to the cache. Lovely view.

I agree, the view would be stunning here at night. Thanks for taking me here. On a visit to Melbourne from Adelaide.
Log was found out of the cache, but was replaced after being found.
TFTC

Just adding a few more caches to the list after finding this one with goingplaces2. All was done to keep the written record in order. TFTC.

Came along with ilook4geo and looked around and found a cache with good camo. The log was signed and all was put back into place. This cache was chosen at random so ilook4geo could add another LGA to those where caches have been found. Thank you to Kia1 for placing this cache.

11881 Located by baby&Mrs gopher at 1150. Everything is so wet. The wind had us a little worried as we walked to gz as the trees were being blown in every direction. Winter all over again in November. SL Tnx Kia1

We didn't park in the most suitable place but it was the first we saw, so it was across the road, then jump the fence to reach GZ. It wasn't in the obvious place, but was close by.

The original plan had us likely to head elsewhere, but Rebel Acts was called on to take some keen horse fanatics to Equitania at the showgrounds. He was going to be in the area all day so we decided to meet him as we had been looking for the chance to drop our granddaughter's bike back at her home nearby anyway. We were also joined by Omegaman which led to a fun day with lots of stories and gentle sledging. A great day out that took us to a number of places we had not visited before.

Thank you for your efforts in creating and maintaining the cache Kia1.
**SKI Pair****

Found by Omegaman1971, Rebel Acts, Ski pair

With Rebel Acts marooned on this side of the city for the day it was a perfect excuse to put some smiles on the map and feed my OCD regarding finding all of the current sidetracked caches in Victoria.

Was great to finally do some caching with Ski pair, and share some caching stories.


Cheers for the cache

This is one of my favourites. Nice urban views. TFTC

After attending a nearby event swung past here to claim a few smilies. Should have had this one quicker as I moved it just not enough. Der moment when I went back.

Thanks Kia1 nice hide.

Good view during the day too.

Well Fletch has a brand new log now.
Cheers

So good! Good camouflage

Fun little spot

This took me longer than it should have! I was looking at it the whole time and nearly sat on it haha
TFTC

Awesome thankyou- I think we might have filled the final spot on the log sheet. Good fun on a windy day - thanks Fletch

Thats very well done

Cheeky camo. Would have been a nice spot to enjoy the views if it wasn't for the 235km/h winds

Fun

Tricky hiding spot, great view! Forgot to BMOP!

Found it

No Pen so here’s proof. TFTC.

Holy moly, impossible to find! Log is almost full and very wet due to the recent rai.

Was at the first spot i checked then when all hope was lost i spotted it out of the corner of my eye. Really good hide ty.

Great view

Bam! Got it. After a rocky start, we read back through a few comments and found ourselves on the spot- about 7m from the pin. TFTC

Found it

Good spot

I found it

[found the Cache thanks Rongeo22 nice spot

An accidentally find. The youngest was pretty thrilled with his efforts

Come out to have a look today unfortunately cut it short due to the rain. Not sure how accurate the GPS was will come back again soon and try again

Out on a bike ride by the river. No actual container but a quick find. Great view back over the city. Thank you for bringing us here! TFTC

Quick find - think we got lucky, it could be very hard

Out geocaching with haggaroo and fam. Thanks for the sly cache!

Took Mum’s opinion and found it straight away.

Finally! Third time lucky. Thought I was never going to find this cache, and then relief. TTFC

Tftc!! Great view. Not sure I want to ride up the roadway from the pipe makers park again though phew!

Bag em up boiz

Unhelpful GPS but geosense made it an easy find. TFTC

A nice hide but it didnt take long to apot. My geosense was on point! TFTC Hoodedhooligans (H.H.) 3 July 2021 4:34 pm #472

Great view

Another nice one.

I was out caching with Squiiix and admired the views while a father and son were resting on the nearby seat. We took an alternate seat nearby while we waited for them to leave. Once gone, the cache was quickly found, not where I thought it was going to be.

Thanks to Kia1 for the cache in such a great spot.

Lockdown 4.0 week 2. Out for our 2 hour exercise. Time for a couple of caches around pipemaker's

Wow that fooled me at first, I had to go back and check a second time to find it. Very clever! Tftc

Really clever hide! Watch out, it was covered in ants

Watch for ants.

Found it fast then walked past it as I did not look at it good enough at first

Great hide! Loved it.

Saw the hide when I arrived and ignored it, I should have taken a closer look! Clever construction, TFTC

We were down at the playground considering this one, but that fence just seems to go on forever, so after a lunch in a glamourous setting we drove up to the top carpark and walked in from there. As we approached GZ I saw something a little bit off and the cache was in hand shortly afterwards. Thanks Kia1 for this great cache - check out the views!!!

Quick find of a nicely concealed cache & dry log. Nice park & views, TFTC!0

Sneaky little hide! Thanks for bringing us to this spot. It’s the view that we remember when we used to drive towards Highpoint as kids, before all the housing developments began. TFTC!

A day of caching with day1976 in the western suburbs, there were periods of OK weather but there were also heavy rain showers.
Was amazing day1976 found this one, he usually can't find these types.

I think I amazed everyone that I found this container before Ilukaperi because I'm tradtionally very bad with them. TFTC!

Apologies for the late log. I've been working over this side of town for about 6 months but with lockdown and work from home I had hardly been out here at all. I had a site visit for a water main renewal not too far from here today and I was running comfortably early. I managed to divert to this one and park at a safe spot a little down the street. Proceeded on foot and just a couple of muggles passing by so I was quickly able to take a look and grab the cache. Took nothing. left nothing. signed log and visited some trackables. Thanks for the cache Kia1.

#10553 - 13:30; Completed the nearby Adventure Lab and a couple of newer caches in the park while the geohoney undertook some retail therapy at the top of the hill, then headed off for some of the newer caches further afield. The iPhone led me to one option, but the geosenses told me to check something else and I managed a nice quick find and sign. TFTC Kia 1
