Logs
Found it totally destroyed including the log on the ground and pieces of lego everywhere:( Attempting to fix it and place it somewhere it won't be ruined... lots of gross rubbish up here too.
Interesting little spot thanks for the cache we seem to be on a roll today with easy finds! Must just be well geocache-attuned today! Great to be visiting the trail and parkland on a lovely quiet Sunday
One of my favourite finds hats off to the person/people who did this. Be weary of snakes and other poisonous bugs there is long grease and nature patches you may have or cross poisonous bugs and snakes can come out at any time of the year any time of day and night bug bites could be very bad
Tricky spot, climbed up and down a couple of times until I found it. Great cache! Just bring a pen or pencil to write in the book, as there’s none in the cache. Plenty of swaps and room for swaps
On the way out, there was someone having a smoko, but found this crafty cache on the way back.
found it accidentally when we were leaving after looking for 40 mins!! great hide but missing a pen

(Cache 15. 11/11/2021. This one took a long time to navigate but when I finally got to the location, I found it pretty easily, very rewarding.
After a walk to Bell St and back from the sports ground I decided to look for this cache. A brief walk took me up the path and after admiring the views and a bit of careful searching (coords had me perilously close to.the edge) it was a straightforward find. TFTC!
I hunted for a while until I realised my perspective was all wrong and the clue is in the name. It was out in plain sight, so I’ve made it a little more covered.
The local riff raff know this area for a different reason then geochaceing
Beautiful lookout at a lovely park, great way to start my lockdown walk for the day
Out for our walk and to pick up a couple of caches to fill another day on the caching calendar. Although Mr Pooky arrived at GZ from the most difficult direction we soon found the cache and returned to the walking track via the more conventional method. TFTC and bringing us to this walking track. TNLN.
The cache is in its location. Was just a little harder to find due to a buildup of leaf litter. All fixed should be easy now.

Got in just before the latest lockdown & managed to find this on our second attempt Well done BudgieB on your eagle eyes yet again- changing this from a DNF to a Found was very satisfying
What a hunt!
We got it easily the second time we went there, after having spent time the night before gathering clues from the activity posts
It was great!
Thank you

Thank you
It was our very first hunt!
So we are a bit disappointed that we couldn’t find anything.
Living 10mn away we know the area quiet well but in this case it didn’t help... I guess it’s part of the game!!!
We definitely going to go back.
Note about the area: lots of junk, broken glasses, empty graffiti cans, empty bottles and deep holes in the ground (top section)..so better to keep an eye on the younger ones when hunting there.
Did we like it? Not sure...but we like the challenge.
Keep you posted when we find it.

Oh wow, we are not very good at geocaching. 10 year old girl and 45 yr old Mum. But we found it YAY SO EXCITING. high river view
Oz Day was planned as a big day for caches. Started here & nada! Three of us tried, searched all over at ground level and higher- found a dead bird, loads of empty bottles (looks like Party Central in that part) and many unexpected gaps but no cache. I assume it's not in the plastic bag that looks more like it might hold dirty nappies? Guess we have to think laterally-will try again another day...
Found on a soggy summers morning. Took a whole lot longer then it should have but got the smiley in the end TFTC 
A clue from a previous poster helped immensely. Definitely well hidden, and protected by a tiny lizard that bolted omce disturbed
We looked for ages and couldn’t find it. We’re amateurs but we literally looked everywhere. Sorry but wouldn’t recommend.
Have a feeling that the terrain should be a bit higher but that might just be the way I came. Perfect den, good size container and good location. Fav TFTC
Was looking on the wrong level, went to the other more obvious level but still couldnt find. Beware of grass seeds
Walked around and found an old typewriter which was fun! So many little treasures in the cache that made me smile! TFTC
Now we are allowed to go out for any reason Geocaching is now allowed so enabling our caches
Due to the covid lockdown in Melbourne we are disabling all affected caches. If anyone logs a find during this period logs will be deleted
Thanks for great find. Beautiful view. Watch the holes. This location rocked our world!
Quick find on a cold and windy afternoon just before the rain hit.... TNLN TFTC
