No luck for me here today!

Did not find again we have previously found this one ..the photo clue from wolf lover is not this cache it's the one up the road .. Maybe owner needs to check

Will come back again. Didn't enjoy the bugs...lol

Out for a mini caching run this morning in the South Morang area, anywhere in the north to avoid the rain that was bucketing down in the Vermont area.
Gave up, saw a photo clue, a needle in a haystack. Will come back with a vacuum cleaner
Thanks for placing this cache ELERT261419

Quite an easy find... kids had fun searching for this one!

Couldnt find it anywhere. Going to return another day to try again. ; (

We have found this previously came today to look again but no find thinking muggled we had a really good look too

Unfortunately after looking for a while, still couldn't find it, maybe next time.

Couldnt find it, wondering if the coordinates are correct!

Perfect cache for Anzac Day with an Aussie Flag inside! Thanks

Lots of leaf litter, but left no rock unturned. Still no luck.

Searched for some time with no luck

Looks like it has been muggled.

I have found it before, so I know what it looks like and where to find it - took my young sons back to see if they could find and it isn't there.

Looked for a good while with 3 friends, couldn't find.

Couldn't find it after 30mins. Had to give up

DNF

Out with 2peasinapod2012, who quickly spotted this rock
as have found this type before.
TFTC

Good hide and searched a little while. But easily spotted as we have seen many of these before.
TFTC

Quick snack on the bench before we started to have a look around. Thought it couldnt be around the rocks since there were so many...but then i spotted this a bit too well polished rock loved the cache! Well done! We didnt take anything but left a lil flag thanks for the cache!

TFTC. Great hide.

Found it on second try. Well hidden - pay attention to details given - and keep looking! TFTC

[:-D]

Tried to find it and spent about 30min looking for it in the cold and had to give up. Will try again another day...

When I got to the cache location I thought I'd be in for a hard time, but after a quick search I saw something that was not quite right. On checking it was what I thought it was. Easier than I thought.

Thanks to ELERT for the great cache.

This is the second of these type of hides we have found and they are very tricky. Knowing what we were looking for made this easier but it still took us 5 minutes. TFTC

Found it... cool hiding place TFTC

1.50 Out and about with Echinda44 for the day. Parking nice and easy. A quick easy find, just watch that barb wire.
Thanks for the cache Elert261419

Parked opposite GZ. Quick find of well hidden cache. Thanks ELERT261419

Check up done on this cache today. All is in good order! Enjoy

Ahhh just as we were about to give up for the second time - got it

Too wet and miserable in the end with no battery life left - will be back tomorrow

Stopped for a quick cache and to get the geo kids out of the car. Thanks to the sole bird in the tree above, it was my lucky day as some would say.

A bunch of ants tried to scare me off GZ but I guess they lost this one

Thanks

I met up with Day1976 for an afternoon and evening of caching. We decided to start north east of the city and work our way west towards an event we were going to attend later that night at Point Cook. The weather had looked a bit ominous earlier on but held off for us and it was actually pretty mild all evening.
Day spotted the cache as we made our way over to GZ, it was not hidden and up side down so a quick find today. Log signed and then cache hidden a bit better.
Thanks ELERT261419.

Took the afternoon off work to catch up with Quasar3671 for a bit fo a caching run through the northern suburbs. This cache was easy peesy. It was lying upside down in it's hiding spot. Had it been lying right way up, it may have been more difficult.

Hard to see don't look in the rocks look for a rock ..!! GPS was spot on

On night hunting with Team Yarra and L plate learner driver daughter . Wet wild and woolley but didnt stop us TFTC

You Rock!!! Unfortunately the rain was beginning to be pest like....but we braved the elements to find this one .Out on night hunt with Team Yarra TFTC

After all the SPOR we found at the Mega, thus one was a cinch.


found on 3/05/2014 8:24 pm out hunting with team Yarra (BelleAkelea and Atraversiamo) and guest L Plate chauffer Kialseberry on crutches.
Find #1497

Was a hard find . Out in open hard to see

Found it with AnnaTherese

With Funsize Manors ability to navigate we were soon at the designated spot. He was by this time getting his eye in and was the first to spot this one. It was also the first time he'd seen a cache container like this one, so he was really pleased. TFTC

This was a tough "little" bugger

A bit different. Was about to give up as the GPS was jumping everywhere.

Cannot find it

It was another monthly caching run with Biggles Bear, this time closer to home in the suburbs of Melbourne. This was spotted as soon as we neared GZ.

Thanks to ELERT261419 for the cache.

Found 12:04:00 PM, in the company of Muzza, during our April caching day out

TNLN, thanks ELERT261419.

May of been taken, needs an update...

When I was a young child we had a crabapple tree in our backyard.......they were just the right size for a little person and I loved eating them before the caterpillars got to them. Thanks for the memory. Definitely no crabapple trees around here but a nice hide anyhow. Cache is in good condition.

So many hiding spots and a jumpy GPS signal. I stuck my arm into a number of places and rustled a few leaves, but just as I was about to concede I spotted a familiar hide, right out in the open! Good work! Not sure how long the log will stay dry for if it's left in its current state.

Tftc

Well hidden, thanks for one so close to home.

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Nice hide TFTC )

Found, well hidden

Found it in the first 30 seconds and I new there was something suspicious about it

Quick find

Found

Found

Nice easy find, thanks

Today was the first Monday night with perfect Spring weather. Rebel Acts and I had a big night of long hikes to clear out areas that had previously been cleared. We picked up a few puzzle caches and had a great time. Eric was on his iPhone and I on mine, his read 11 metres and mine 3. Go figure! Thanks

Found with Trailrunning on another Monday caching adventure, Finally some nice weather had arrived and it was a shorts and Thirt night. We found a mixed bag of caches tonight, from tricky hides, creative puzzles and a few that required long walks.Thanks ELERT261419 for the cache.

A quick find, TFTC.

Found it..TFTC

Great rock not

Good hide. Enjoyed grabbing with my nephew while visiting from ACT.

11:01
I toyed with the idea of doing a Wherigo in the inner suburbs, but the weather didn't look particularly promising. A trip to the tip to recycle a few dead bits of technology sent me north-ish, so continuing in that direction until I ran out of time seemed as good a plan as any.

I guess I'm not the only one that cringes when presented with a sight such as this one... they can often be a prelude to a long, painful search. This morning, though, that was not the case, as I spotted a familiar sight among the rocks on Crabapple. Phew!

#2286

Aargh! So many possible hiding spots, almost gave up on this one but noticed something not quite right, felt a bit exposed with this one with the passing cars and houses nearby and we were happy to sign the log. Thanks ELERT261419 for the cache.

Hides can be a pain in such places but I scanned around and soon saw a likely candidate, thanks ELERT261419.

Very good hide

Good Cache

Great camo tftc

found it TFTC

TFTC great hide

I was half expecting to climb another tree. Brilliant hide tftc

WoW that took for ever, great camo and hide
TFTC

That' was a mission! Good hiding spot and camo

Nice camo job

Out on the bikes with a couple of friends. Graeme had previously found this site so he sat back and enjoyed our searching. At one stage Dave had it in his hand without knowing it.
TRAVEL BUG "HOVER THE HUMMINGBIRD CBDYRH" ACCOMPANIED US ON THIS VISIT AND IS NOW MOVING ON.

After some help from MegUA I decided to try this one again. Great Camo, TTFC.

Quick find, mostly thanks to our desire to get out of the cold wind. TFTC!

very easy job great hidding spot

Quick grab and sign once at gz. tftc.

Getting a bit discouraged now, 4th DNF in a row. Maybe I need to avoid Micro's for a while, until I get some more experience... or the weather fines up. Checked in lots of areas where we thought the Cache could be, lots of holes between the rocks... NOTHING!!! I hope someone else can give me a hint here as this was so frustrating!!

Found after wandering about in the wrong spot for a few minutes. There are two road intersections this one could have been at, and didn't have coords. Oops. TFTC

I'd quite forgotten to save this one on to my GPSr but remembered that the cache had to have been in this area, given the nearby Crabapple Rd. So while waiting for my phone to download it, we looked at the rocks near the pond... until we figured out that it was a good distance behind us. Erp. So we walked back and found it fairly quickly at the new destination. Thanks for bringing us here ELERT - not your usual MO but appreciated nonetheless!

2TF actually missed it the first time and wanted my son to get this FTF but I couldn't get back after school Thursday. Well done to FTF esp in the dark. TFTC

My first FTF. Picked up on the way home from tennis (2230hrs). Two wins in one night.
Thanks ELERT261419 for one of those sneaky caches
