Que me claiming just about everything... no luck

Noice

Dunno... Not many places to look "inside", but had no luck.

No luck

????

Didn’t find anything and looked inside everywhere

No luck for me, even after a previous finder checked. Am happy to replace as I will be parking next to it for the next 4 days.

Also no luck today. Maybe it's away?

Can't find it.
There was a sick red back there though.

Yay!! CACHED UP BOGANS FOR THE WIN!!!

Found it!

This week I had my first ever trip to Australia. This very anticipated visit gave me as well the opportunity to cache on my 35th country & 6th continent ... and that starts to count
So, on Saturday I did 8 caches or so, and on Sunday I walked over 15 km from Collins to the beach and back. I found 21 caches, visited 3 fantastic parks, enjoyed gorgeous weather, witnessed my first cricket match ever, walked on the roads where a Formula 1 price will take place, got a nice tan that will make my friends back in Belgium jealous, found my southernmost & furthermost cache ever, watched some interesting artworks, learn about geology, got lost a few times, got a thorn in my nose, got very dusty jeans, broke one nail, got many people looking funny at me, watched no koalas nor kangaroos (do you really have those animals here?) saw more people kite surfing than ever before, walked through two flee markets ... and had THE TIME OF MY LIFE !!

Thanks a lot to all Cache Owners in Melbourne, it was GREAT, and if you ever plan to visit Bruges in Belgium ... just let me know

Take care

Another quick find today.

TFTC and best regards

Nice and easy!
Cheers
TFTC!

Fast find on the way to St. Kilda. TFTC. The last one during this Australia trip

Last Cache for Long Time in Melbourne. On Tour with bikes found this cache. TFTC

I had set off from Albert Park by bike with a plan to do a loop via Windsor, Balaclava, Ripponlea, Elwood, St Kilda, and back.

This was the last for the day. A quick find. TFTC.

Nice. Forgot my pen though.

16:35
Near the arse end of the nearby cricket matches seemed like the perfect time for a cheeky grab. Cheers, skakids.

I'd intended a bike ride in the Western Suburbs, but the weather had other ideas, so a Quest on foot became Plan B.

In all, starting from Prahran, and finishing in St. Kilda, six Quest cache locations and a further seven other skakids hides were visited, resulting in ten smileys, a DNF and two "did not attempt", while people enjoyed the slightly cooler conditions in a couple of local parks.

As I'm now 3 months behind in my logging I am desperately trying to catch up and am mass logging to do so.

Last day in Melbourne today after I had come down on the 31st for an angiogram the next day.
With the results all clear for my heart, I can continue to enjoy geocaching ... so I did! [^]
Had 2 DNFs for the day and made 10 finds so all in all a good run home

No cricket today so I enjoyed my Indian tea laying on the grass and then wandered over and found the cache in its hiding spot

TNLN. SL. TFTC skakids

A lovely mysterious installation - perfect for a cache. Found it in the first place I put my hand. Thanks once again skakids. Cheers!

Finally! Recon spme pinched this, trying for a while now lol

Evil!!

Lovely piece of wrought iron, and castings, even a great little cache here, Thanks skakids for bringing me here to see this

Nice place to watch a spot of cricket on a lovely melbourne day

We are on holiday here from Perth so we decided to find a few geocaches tonight in this really cool park.

A quick find at this cool water fountain. Thanks!

Nickag73

Found!

Came back with a new set of eyes and we found it! We forgot a pen though, so we had to go buy one, then when we came back to it there was a muggle sitting there! The nerve...

TFTC - cricket match in progress

No pen today but thanks.

We were in Melbourne for the day. We had a lovely tour guide Julie and we taught her how to cache. Thanks for the fun find.

A quick find at the end of a big caching day

Another fast find on my evening get some fresh air round.
TYFC

quick find

Found. Thanks skakids.

Finding a few caches before work - so satisfying! And a lovely walk too from the junction. Spotted despite my height it might look like I'm trying a few stretches. TFTC

Thanks for the next your cache in Melbourne. Seeking before business meetings with my colleague Nonem 008.

Tfc

Quick little after school adventure

New custom container

Disappointed with the defeat. Searched here for quite a bit of time. Unfortunately hadn't see the photo prior to looking. Nice views , wonderful place.

Found it but later realised that it had been stolen so I recommended to replace it

Spent ages searching every crevice - couldn't find it

Looked everywhere. Climbed the whole thing.
Touched every bump and bolt. DNF

It’s gone for sure I checked again I It wasn’t there it needs maintenance

Please replace skakids

Couldn’t for the life of me find this one. I’m am short though.

Cool one. The clue is simple but helpful.

It’s tiny!!

Tried so many times to find this one. It is so close to my school so it’s really easy to have a look after school. I reckon it’s gone but I don’t want to give up.

I found it at the last second!
That cheeky little bugger!
TFTC!

After look ing so many times i finally found it with my friend.

Magnetic!

Thanks first time and first find!

Found it after some searching and stretching. Log is full but found a tiny space. TFTC!

Quiet time of day was good, quickly up and down Log is well-overfull, signed in the middle of it.

Not hard to find, but a bit tricky to reach without drawing the attention of the muggles. Tftc

Keen eyed cmkoe3 spotted this one, but it was out of our reach.
I had to climb to retrieve it.
TFTC

Lots muggle birds were watching me what I'm doing.
Found it nicely.
Thanks skakids

Big Stretch! With taz_6

With lisyb. I had to climb little & Im not vertically challenged

Day 5 in Australia: Puffing Billy day!

Quick log after returning to Melbourne. Dark made this super quick and muggle free

On the way back to hostel met a new little friend of ours who run up the tree just to be there all cute

TFTC

Greetings from Latvia and Belgium!

Hahaha VERY tricky!

A DNF and a sad face on the last day of my visit to the Albert Park area. I hunted high, I hunted low. I stood on this and looked under that. I wiggled, twisted and felt everywhere; and that was just on the first attempt. All in all I tried this on three separate occasions and came up empty handed. Thanks skakids for the one's I found and thanks for the puzzle presented by this one that I didn't.

TFTC!

We had some fun looking for it. And we weren't only ones. Thanks.

TFTC!

Found it
Hard to get to and I am 2m tall
Tftc

Spent ages could not work it out! Skakids gave got me on this one!

This one had us stumped for awhile with the dying light, but we got their in the end, thanks! Now onto a well earned dinner.

This one had us looking a while in the dark! I'm below average height but managed to retrieve it successfully.

Tftc
Hard spot

Easy to see, harder to retrieve. The log only has a few more spots left.

Trust me to pick a time when maximum rain hit!
TFTC

Nice greets from Dresden in Germany .Tftc

Almost on a whim, we're off to the F1 today. My wife loves it, perhaps for the glamour and prestige of it all, although if I'm honest I find it pretty dull and wouldn't bother unless my arm is twisted, as it was today. Still, at least there is a cache or two about to keep me entertained. We were coming in by this gate so I could have a search for this cache before entry. Took me a while to spot it and it was a little tricky to retrieve and put back, but I just about managed. Tftc

In Melbourne with the Grand Prix thought i would give this one a go remembering the extra muggle difficulty. I dont know that i could make my banana bread last that long. Any way cache was eventualy retrieved and signed.
TFTC

TFTC. TrIcky but found.

Found it during our visit in Melbourne
TFTC

Suscoe was in Melbourne today following a family celebration and so we had a bit of time to explore the area before heading home.
Well the weather had taken a turn for the worse, typical Victorian weather really.
Who would believe it was mid Summer.
Thanks to the skakids for this cache.
An enjoyable walk to GZ in the early morning quiet.
A nice hide.
How good is the state school over the way!!!!!!

Got on a wet Summers day.

SisterCorny travelling Asia and Oceania for four month, stopping over in Melbourne for a couple of days after returning from NZ.
Day2 of our stay in MEL, today we walked from Richmond through South Yarra to St. Kilda, very different neighbourhoods, but all three great and very nice caches on the way. In the brilliant weather we had great fun exploring the city and finding hidden boxes...
Not a big challenge if you are tall enough. Easily spotted and grabbed. Nice pavillon, TFTC

Tippy toes yo!

Ripped my pants getting this one
Tftc

Luckily I am tall. Took more time rolling up the log than finding it. Pesky nano logs! TFCT.

Bit high, sprung by fellow cachers but we got it anyway. Thanks

Found with Jabiru. Took a while but was eventually spotted by Mrs Jabiru just before we were sprung by some fellow geo-cachers

We attended this event today at 3:15pm as number 10 of 23 on our Australia Day Elsternwick and Around Tour. We met up with Jabiru4721 at the cache and we got to assist with the retrieve. Thanks from D & HA B-A.

Found the full log but a precious report said there where 2 which I couldn't find. Only new at this game so definitely not a park and grab but good fun all the same. Thanks.

12:35
Albert Park - what a great area to spend a few hours while a younger family member has an appointment in the city. There were quite a few guys playing that other game with the "Leg Before" attribute nearby. P-P spotted this one - perhaps it was headed for a six or maybe just a big T1.5!

**Feedback to CO:** A TR of 1.5 is a big streach for this one - a TR of 2 would be more in the ball park.

Our thanks to skakids for placing this cache.
17627.

Need good eyes

Thanks ska kids, I called on my inner giraffe to make this find. Thanks for brining me here today.

Headed out to elwood to visit a friend and head to the beach for a few hours so we did and i found a good spot me me to find some caches while we walked along the beach.

He ended up getting into the whole caching thing so after diner we headed out for a few more.

Awesome place for caching love the city hides and thanks skakids for a heap of great hides

i had been look everywhere not lucky hope do other time

We had a short stroll in the neighborhood, when we also visited this cache. It was very difficult to spot, but eventually we found it. My oldest son helped me to retrieve the cache. Definitely not a quick park and grab, though. But still we liked it!

TFTC!

We Dutch on vacation, loved this cache.

After a short search we found it, TFTC
