By gmj3191 on 10-Oct-13. Waypoint GC4PXX8

In Melbourne for a Cold Chisel concert and staying across the road from this one. Visited during peak hour and thought it was a certain type of cache in a much trickier location. In the end asked CO for hint and then returned a to find the very obvious hide. TFTC!

TFTC! Such a good and creative Idea! Love this. Greetings from the Thuringians!

Accio 10:07:23Down to Melbourne to escort my mum to hospital - giving me significant free time for a couple of days. Last day today as she is all good and coming out later on ... What to do? A few interesting caches in the very centre of the city - trying for a quieter Sunday morning (largely a success). Driving Mum's car with the disabled sticker a bonus. Managed to park right at GZ, quick snatch and sign and back on my way.Wow has Melbourne city changed since I was last here .... hmmm ... 1991? wow am I old. I don't recognise anything.#UUOLivesThanks gmj3191 for entertaining me at this location. *{Overall find #12942}*

Melbourne to see Pearl Jam. Taking the opportunity to see some sights, walking around, completing some adventure labs and finding some geocaches with legend. Visited the LUME for the Leonardo da Vinci exhibition and then caught the tram back into this area to hunt down a few caches this afternoon. Success

Found with Gazania Rigens, as per her log.A clever idea! Fortunately quickly found.TFTC

In Melbourne for 2 nights stopover on our way to Tasmania from NZ. This was across the road from where I was staying so it was an easy walk by on my way back from exploring.

It was good to get away from the busy area by the river for a short while. The cache was found quickly. Nicely done. TFTC!

Great one

First time in Melbourne. From Washington, D C.

Thank you for the cache!I decided to walk here, even not sure I was going to find it. But then soon enough, name in the logbook. (Im short but luckily was still able to reach)Cheers from Finland

Having a pedal around after an event at Albert Park this morning. No trouble getting to this one on a public holiday. Nice and easy to do in the quiet of a holiday.

Good hide! Tftf

I identified the geocache GZ right away, but it took me a good 5 minutes to realise it

I almost give up, but then.. tftc and hello from Finland.

First find on Australia We used the hint, but afterwards I feel a bit embarrassed. This shouldn't have been so difficult. Thanks for the cache, and greetings from Finland!

Great hide, thanks from Canada!

After we were out and about in the city today, we also visited this cache. However, it was a bit difficult to find the hiding place straight away in the dark. But thanks to the good coordinates and the hind, we were soon able to sign the logbook. Best wishes from the Moorhelmi's from Germany.

Auf unserer groen Australien-Rundreise war Melbourne unsere zweite Station. Unser Hotel liegt hier in unmittelbarer Nhe und auf einem Abendspaziergang konnten Andy_Cayoon und ich diesen Tradi gut finden. Unbeobachtet signierten wir das Logbuch und bummelten weiter. Eine wunderschne Skyline am Abend!Thank you for the cache. ?????Meerana and Andy_Cayoon from Germany.

GPS had us searching around for a few minutes before we spotted it. Nice easy one to grab.Tftc

Found with Noo82, had us stumped for a little bit! TFTC

Gotcha! TFTC Found with the Geohusband @Nosmada

Started the hunt and realised I left my pen at home. Went and brought a pen. Been a while since I found a cache like this but once i realised what exactly I would need to look for, I found it quickly.

Called by to replace log only to find the whole back side is available. Just turn it over and choose one of the 40 or so spots to sign.

This GC was an easy find with some text leading the way, great hidden cache. Log book is now full with my entry!

Log book is full and needs replacing!

Nice quick find, hint is very helpful. TFTC

Second time around looking for this one and fortunately success this time around. I suspected the form this one might have to take after my last visit and so the search this time was brief. TFTC

I arrived in Australia a couple of weeks ago for work, and once that was finally done with I started the holiday portion of my travels. And what a holiday it is, I will be visiting six cities in a little over two weeks as I follow a rock band around on tour. Along the way, I will be collecting geocaches. I started this portion in Perth, then Adelaide, and now Melbourne. Only a few finds here as I have a busy schedule with none Geocaching things, but here is one I did find.Despite how rare the element is, I had no trouble finding the cache here.---Thanks to gmj3191 for placing and maintaining this cache. I enjoy each and every cache I find, and it is only with Geocachers like this creating them and placing them out in the world that this wonderful game continues.

Awesome cache! Very cool. tFTC

Thank you for the cache!

Bridge is finished - we caught the train into towm to grab some virtuals, trads and ad labs while looking at the sightsWondering around with Kev and Hal2929. Lots of fun finds. Thanks to all the COs for creating the caches for us to find.

In the area playing bridge and getting some caches. Found with Kiscardi. Checked the usual spots then spotted it. Thanks

It didnt take too long to spot this one. A great hide. Favourite point. TFTC.

First ever geocache! Nice find

Good hide! Took me a little bit of time but the hint was useful!

A few people around at 8am had me nervous and I checked my height but UP....maybe, looking at the gallery?? Not often in the city these days either.

Took me a while but after reading some hints and previous logs eventually figured it out.Fortunately there is nobody really about today.Clever little hide, Ive seen this type before.Thanks for the cache!

Me short

Clever hide, it tooks me some time to find it!A business trip in Australia, and a unique opportunity for me to find a few caches there.Thank you to all the cache owners!Greetings from France.

clever hide took us a while but eventually found it however we do not have a pen so heres a picture for proof

Spent the afternoon of our second day in Melbourne doing a little more caching. Three and a half hours of walking around the city resulted in ten more finds. Nice hide.

Glad to grab this cache. Had me here for far too long. TFTC

Took us a while, our brain was not in gear

Very clever ! Thanks for find 197!

In Melbourne with chychu... Just walked past Flinders Street Station and after some detours (construction site) found this cache. Saw quite a few of these in Europe, so it was a quick find... TFTC!

Quick find by Tebryn. Nice hide. Tftc!

I had an idea where this might be, but despite looking for ages, and taking photos on my phone to help me see a bit further on, had no luck finding today. Its very possible I wasnt looking in the right place, but it seemed a good spot!

GEOCACHE #212 (12/05/2024)

After a fun visit to the aquarium with the muggle niblings we had some time to spare so I decided to introduce them to the wonderful world of geocaching! They had a great time finding this cache and we added their name to the logs along with my caching name. Thanks for the fun cache and the interesting information!

Very cool. Whilst on a quick trip to Mel from Tassie

Very cool!

Struggling with the gps and the patience of the kids. Better luck next time.

Currently doing some backpacking, primary in Australia but also Singapore and Malaysia. I was in Melbourne for a couple of days, and had time to search for this cache. TFTC! ---# Nr. 929 | 18. April 2024 | 15:20 Uhr

Very smart hideTFTC

Found

Walking back from the Immigration Museum we thought we'd go find this one. The hint helped because the gps was way out.I loved this building up the road, the trees and vegetation taking over looks fantastic!

Tftc!

Staying at the Mercure so this was our closest Melbourne cache. It was a quick find. Very creative, we have one like this in Brisbane. TFTC found on a wet afternoon on the way to the art gallery. the chikins from Brisbane.

11:43took a while, but we found it! nice one, thanks.

TFTC very

Lulin-Girl is during 6 months at the university in Sydney and is looking around for nice places. She is visiting for some days Melbourne.Thanks for laying out the cache. Regards from Switzerland!

Thanks for the clear hint, the GPS was definitely a bit jumpy. At GZ had a good idea where to find it and just had to wait on a few muggles to pass. Tftc

Headed out with my host to walk the dog and made this the priority for the walk.Although not a cacher himself he spotted the cache after a few moments of searching around GZ. Spending the day waking around Melbourne before flying home to Perth this evening.I stayed close to the city grabbing caches and adventure labs.Had a break in the middle of the day due to rain but got back at it in the afternoon.Sitting in the lounge heading for home Ive collected 8 finds, 24 adventure labs and 0 DNFs. Thanks go to gmj3191 for placing and maintaining the Traditional cache Ununoctium (now Oganesson) for me and others to find.I added my name to the log at 16:11 on 3/4/2024.This is find number 8825 for me.

Today we had a tour of Melbourne city centre on the agenda. Of course, a few new smileys on the map were a must. This was also found quickly and easily. TFTC

Would have loved to see this cache in its original form but Im happy to have found this hidden gem. Forgot a pen, so photo loggingTFTC!!
