Unable to maintain

Had a look. Please confirm CO if I just need to search a bit harder.

Couldn’t find it today

Sorry couldn't find

Was going to try for this one and then saw the previous logs. Thought that instead I would simply check out the arfe for my next visit here.
Thanks for showing me this lovely red gum tree.

We gave this a decent search, but came up with nothing.

Searched well, not present

We searched high and low but just couldn't find it today. We had fun looking though.

Had to avoid the dogs nearby but enjoyed the quick walk to this cache. Nice area. Awesome old gum! Thanks for the cache.

Found after taking a tumble and getting soaked. TFTC.

Good find! Good hint but didn't give it away. Rlly helped the hint that it wasn't in the dog park. Saved alot of unnecessary time. Great fun!

Beautiful walk on a sunny Sunday morning. Thanks for this series Baluke

Lovely little spot

Loved this. Local bush and creeks are awesome. Last minute decision to look for this after doggie adventures so didn't have a pen. I have a photo insitu if you need it BaLuke. TFTC

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.
We were locked in at first then realised our mistake.
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.
A little bit further along the path for this one which was found with retaliative ease

Thank you Baluke for the cache

Nice find

A quick look around but then a dog owner came and I decided to keep moving. It's a fun place for a dog to run around here.

Tftc it’s inside that counts

TFTC

Where your left hand is leaning.

A good easy find near the end of my ride

Wasn't as hard as we were expecting with a T4 rating....we really psyched ourselves up.
Nice hide and nice to see the muggles out at play with their dogs in this parcel of lovely land.
TFTC

Ran into a fellow geocacher visiting from Europe!

However difficult cache to find, I'm worried that the cache may have been moved to a more difficult location based on comments from others. My cousin, also part monkey found the cache, without him we couldn't have found it. Definite climbing required.

Lovely to meet some local cachers here. Thankfully someone else did the climb for me! I fell down a hole on my walk away from this cache. Must be more careful!

This one would be hard to find with some doggy muggles, but given it was early Sunday morning and raining it wasn't too hard. GZ seemed obvious, but it still took a little looking to find it. TFTC.

Found while walking along the creek. Thanks.

Ni climbing required

If you're smart you'll find it - it's what's inside that counts!

Found it

Should have trusted our instincts, it was the first place we looked at and then searched elsewhere. Came back to finally see it. Good one

Logging this cache for Blobbyloo
At the dog park this morning with our dog and Blobbyloo really wanted to do this cache. There were a two other people in the park this morning but she quickly snuck around out of their view. There were a few spider webs. Blobbyloo then found the cache quite easily TFTC great hide

A quick find made tricky with the puppies running around. TFTC.

7/7/17 3:20 pm #2390 After an early day knock off in area decided I would grab a close by cache and fill another hole. This was a beauty and took a bit but found it soon . In my work gear I was inspecting river banks for erosion today lol
Thanks for the adventure.

Great spot! 18th find!

omegaman1971@ 2840 finds

Was great to find no muggles around today, found after a few moments searching.
Cheers for the cache

Very good! Didn't take too long to find with bianx

Good find

Just to many muggles around today. . Will be back!!!!
Cheers for the cache.

Out with Lionlord for a few local(ish) caches to see what we could find.

This one had not been found in a while, so it was definitely up for the challenge. We searched high, we searched low, and even though it was not where I had thought, it did eventually make its way into my hot little hands.

Thanks BaLuke - tricky, but found.

no luck here and i looked everywhere

Found with Eli's -Patrol. Great locality and hide.

*Grabbing a cache or two to maintain my current streak*...

A nice stroll around this lovely area on this beautiful day...
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment baluke... Appreciate your efforts...
A lot easier than previous logs suggested.


**Took**: *Nothing but photo's*
**Left**: *Nothing but foot prints*...
Stamped log...

**#9745**

We were stumped for a while but found it in the end. Nice camo.

Could have been tougher than expected judging the terrain. Nice hide

We have been looking for ages to find a 4 star Terrain to fill in a gap on the D/T chart and now we have one - its been a good day!

Forgot to look at the terrain. TFTC.

Had a very pleasant day out today with Crusty K9 and Mr and Mrs Bunadoorian. We found this cache. Thanks for the cache, and the good company.

Yes no so dangerous after all. Took trackable. Tftc

Left a little turtle... this turtle has travelled with us to two other countries but we couldn't find a big enough cache!

Found on way to the Yarra valley area. Enjoying the caches in the area

Caching around Melbourne before the Mega with o
ur group from New Zealand signing log with our group name log on BT-PC-KN thanks BaLuke for the cache managed to get the right side first time

Wasn't as difficult as we'd expected having seen the terrain rating. TFTC

Great hide thanks for the view

Enjoying a chance to cache in and around Diamond Valley. Enjoyable walk and series of hides in this reserve. TFTC TNLN

Easy find, clever hiding spot, listen to the hint TFTC

Great Hide. Thank you baluke. TFTC.

I guess the terrain rating is an indicator to be careful. TFTC

My fourth geocache.

TFTC. Easy find.
Very wet and slippery because it was raining.

Staying in Diamond Creek for the weekend so took the opportunity to grab a few early morning caches. This turned out to be much easier than previous logs had me thinking. Please to be able to sign log.
Thanks baluke for placing & maintaining the cache for us to find.

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?

This was my main target for the day... the nearby compound was pretty much empty at this late hour of the afternoon, so I had no need to creep around. Not that that is really possible with this kind of hide, it's either do, or walk away. Speaking of which, it was no certainty which way that equation would go, even when I'd surveyed the location. Hmmm... if it's there, then no problem; if it's much further, I'll have to weigh up the risks.

So... fortune favours the bold; up I went... to find that it WAS where I hoped.

Thanks baluke. I swear the hardest part of the find was getting the bloody log back in the container.

Oh, and a new D/T combo in the bag, bringing the tally up to 66.

Awsome hiding spot! Lost the dogs to the creek!!

We found this cache today at 2:35pm as number 15 of 31 on our Eltham Exploration Afternoon II. The dog walkers nearby could not see us grab this one as we leaned in for the find. Thanks from D & H B-A.

Very sneaky placement and cache. But found. Signed log

Couldn't find this one. A frustrating search

Way too hard to find. How did they hide it?

Find #1984

I was in Diamond Creek for a wedding and had some time to kill in the time between the service and reception when the main party headed off for photos. Most people went to the pub but I couldn't resist taking the time to check out a few local caches. This was my fifth in this series along the creek. I had missed this one on the way down as they weren't in my GPS and I was pulling coordinates off the phone. I realised as I walked back towards the car. A quick look here out of sight of the dog walkers and I spotted it. A first finder of the replaced cache. Was tricky to replace and glad not to lose it when I dropped to once before stashing it back in place. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables. Thanks for the cache baluke. Time to head back to the wedding before trying a couple of others later.

Checked on this
Still intact but may move it in the future as the dog muggles are becoming so numerous

Hot, sweaty, all scratched up but no cache

Suscoe came prepared with the long tool this morning, but it seems this cache is going to be a thorn in our side.
Couldn't see anything that resembled a cache here even at a higher altitude.
So it is still on the to do list and will require yet another trip to the Creek.
Lucky it is a pleasant location.

Dont think its here anymore

Looked for a while, no luck..

Cache replaced.

No luck with this one today. Read all the logs to find out what not to do, but still couldn't spot it.

No luck here this morning, might have to look another time.

Hard to find but great hide. Definetly not for the faint hearted.

Great spot and nice hide. Definitely not for the geokids. Lots of dog lovers nearby so some stealth is required....

Was a tricky one but a good one.
Birds eye

Muggled?

Spent a while checking through logs and trees. Climbed and crawled around the hill but to no avail. Will continue to keep an eye on for further activity.

Defeated! We were sure we knew where the cache was likely to be, so repeated the oft mentioned approach in logs below and climbed too high. Then we spent some time reading logs, and took an alternative approach.. still no cigar. We will return!

Found today while in Melbourne collecting some pre solved mysteries and some unique DT caches.
Great area to hide a cache.
Thanks for the great little hide BaLuke.

A fresh winters morning out with 4 yr old Master D who has finally decided that he does like geocaching now, as long as he gets to hold the map (ie phone)! A few muggles in the dog park but we managed to find the cache quickly and admire the tree and then moss covered rock on the way back (little ones are easily distracted and amused!) TFTC

Walked around for a while. Passed beautiful puggles. Found by geolishy. Tftc beautiful spot.

Such a great area...pretty quick find with Prin666cess TFTC

Found it

Tftc

Logging for self
New LB

How apt for the Squirrel to find one hidden in a tree!

"Found" on a short geocaching expedition on a day off work.
Great spot, but I found the log jammed in so tight I couldn't pull out out. Not having actually signed the log, I probably shouldn't log a find, but I recon I left my DNA on it, and that's as good as a signature these days anyway. Maybe if I had some pliers, but it really needs fixing.
Nice place anyway - Thanks baluke.

Found it!

I made sure I had my boots with good grip on for this one given the terrain rating of 4. I was a bit disappointed to find a fairly easy terrain cache. Maybe it's a lot worse after a load of rain. The locals were at the park with their mutts, but I seemed to go unnoticed. TFTC baluke.

Tftc out on a little hunt going up though the mountains with don55.

Hunted high and low and then finally found with Luckie1987.
TFTC.

Found by Team Ninja 03/05/15, find number 609.
After walking from the previous cache we arrived at the coordinates and my parents decided I would be better retrieving this one alone! I took the lower approach given the difficulty rating but with no cache spotted I re-evaluated my approach and soon discovered the cache. TFTC!

Visiting friends just around the corner this morning and it's time to grab a couple of caches on the way home. A bit of a walk in the park on such a glorious morning.
Who let the dogs out, woof, woof... No dogs to be seen today and so a quick grab it was.
Thanks for placing this cache baluke

Out with TinkerTraveller who walked straight up to this one. Jeckleberry and tedd used to go to the daycare at the carpark sotThanks for bringing us beyond the carpark to discover the dog park and surrounds.

Thanks baluke for another find. JeckleberryandTedd and I located this cache very quickly. A great place to walk! TFTC

Easy find.
