Followed the description, sure we were in the right area given others pictures but couldn’t find a cache. Looked under grasses, in trees and along the riverbank but nothing.
Wondering if it’s still here given not many finds recently?

Found after some hefty searching with OCDCacher !! Do the HAPPY DANCE !! SL, TFTC & guess what ? It's about to come down !!

Nice walk on a grey wet day but cache good and dry. Too cold to stick around and COVID19 means the sports ovals are all quiet

Difficult find. GPS off. This is my second try. Visit number one was on a very hot day & we had seen a tiger snake & decided to be careful in the undergrowth that day. TFTC
 
03-Feb-20
Found, after a fair bit of circling around the very picturesque riverbank. Log was found completely deteriorated. I was unable to remove the old log from the cache container to take a look at it, but judging from the previous online entries here it was full, so I put in a new micro roll. Beautiful spot, TFTC!

Awesome day for a walk, thinking of taking a swim in this nearby creek...
 
14-Dec-18
Out walking in the rain while waiting for my ride I finally got to knock this cache off my list. Nice little area. The recent deluge of rain had made the creek flow nicely. Found cache quite quickly. Signed the log and returned the cache.
Thanks for the cache BaLuke

Using my camera as an excuse to wander off the path towards the creek, I quickly found the cache and signed the log.

Good find. Sanchez family found it (again).

New log paper required. Circled about a bit before I found it! Tftc!
 
29-Jul-18
And another one done. Thanks again
 
21-Jul-18
Had found the others in this series long before, but was stifled by muggles on this one. Came back today and was almost stifled again. A little kid came off his bike after he got a bug in his eye right where you branch off the main path to find the cache. It was a drama, but I waited it out! Quick find, but slow cache considering the wait time Smile
 
26-May-18
Watched the kids walk around hunting for this until I got bored. Easy find when you know what to look for.
 
07-Apr-18
Out for the usual day, early start, late finish, memorable adventures with SimsFamily and Neville Devil.
This was where we realised "winter is coming" not the warm starts we've become accustom to.
No sounds of balls being hit just silence of the early morning.
Log signed and replaced as found

Thanks for the Cache BaLuke

With a mega early start to the day leaving home before the sun was up. The days plans were to get Ausfox;'s 4000th find. He had picked Gollum's Cave for the milestone cache but needed to find 9 more before that. So with a slight detour he saw this nice cluster of 7 easily reachable caches to get that little bit closer to the his goal.
As we got out to cross the road to GZ the cold hit us full force. It was bitterly cold with some frost on the grass and all.
Heading to GZ along the path Neville_devil thought he would make a direct line attack at this on but soon realised the water was in his path.
A quick fin by Ausfox; at GZ. Find 2 for the morning

Thank you Baluke for the smiley

Nice find

I came to the Marngrook Riverbank and watched as seven ducks flew into the water from the reserve side. The coords weren't quite right but after a careful reading of the description it was clear where the cache was. Thanks!

I needed some time to myself, and a decent walk... or several short ones. There's a series in Diamond Creek that I've partially completed, and fits the bill quite nicely.

Well, it took me half the afternoon to mosey out here... wow, is it really the better part of two years since I tackled the rest of the Marngrook series?

An easy find after parking at the nearby sporting facilities... which was a tale in itself: The GPSr keeps trying to lead me down roads that I know damned well a car will not traverse. Next time, I'll travel by mountain goat. Sometimes it really does end up being about the journey.

Cache in good nick. Thanks baluke.

We found this cache today at 3:15pm as number 17 of 31 on our Eltham Exploration Afternoon II. Back onto the find side of the ledger here and we had to wait for yet another dog walker before heading off the path. A really pretty spot. Thanks from D & H B-A.

Walked into the bushes. Looked down at my feet. There it was. TFTC

Find #1985

I was in Diamond Creek for a wedding and hnd having found a few in the series earlier in the day I slipped out from the reception to check out another couple on the west of the creek. Bit tougher in the dark but after parking up near here I followed the path and was able to make the find without ending up in the creek. I forgot my pen so walked back tot he car wiht the cache and then repeated the journey. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables. Thanks for the cache baluke. Six finds along here in total today and a very pleasant diversion from the nuptials.

There was a muggle wandering past us on the way to the cache, we over took him, so we had an extended water break at GZ. It's a nice area. TFTC

Plenty of people out and about on a nice day as we walked our geodog. Sauntered off into the bushes to find this one at 11:40am.

thanks baluke

Suscoe's 6th find of today.
We had an early start and ended with a total of 31 finds in all.
A pleasant day, a touch of warmth, so wind and a little bit of sun peeking through the clouds.
A few walkers passing by.
Sat quietly and signed the log.
Thanks to baluke for placing this cache here.

With dontshootmefrank. Find three on our stroll around diamond creek. Bit of Bush bashing required as the path seems to have grown over a little but found pretty easily at the end. Tftc
 
28-Aug-15
Arrived on site early for an afternoon orienteering event. Having checked out the caches in the area I saw no reason to waste a two hour driveon a single event. A cool afternoon with quite a few people out and about but the coords were good and the cache sufficiently out of site not to be worried. TFTC BaLuke a nice walk through the park.

Dropped the geokid off at sports and grabbed 2 nearby caches tonight as well as the clues for Marngrook Challenge.
Coming straight from the office, in the dark, with no torch, was a bit ambitious but I managed to make the find easily enough.
Ok people, don't wear office footwear for this cache and expect to stay upright! But I managed to sign the log with my dignity intact.

Our first GeoCache. A great starter. Thx!

Back for 2nd look found by geolishy. Easy find in daytime. Tftc

It got too dark as sun gone down. Afraid of what might be lurking around. Coming back another day to find.
