TFTC:). Was initially searching the wrong spots. After zoning in closer to its location, I spotted it and the find was made.C.C
Hello from NZ. Our son (Cacheflowcard)took us to his place of work and of course we looked to see if any caches were available. This one fit the bill.TFTC.
Had an idea on arrival but it was wrong... Then I noticed a muggle parked nearby giving me some weird looks. Had a seat on a nearby bench to wait for them to move on and read some helpful logs. Once the coast was clear I moved in and snagged it quickly, tftc!
On my way to the gym, I stopped off and found this cache. Its been on my radar now I have it in hand. TFTC W074
Aha found it in less than a minute. Funny how I knew where it was gonna be Ive just been doing this way to long now. Forgot pen so took a photo of log for proof. TFTC
Noticed on a ride yesterday that the cache was not where it should be.Replaced the container today on a maintenance run.
One of the challenges that I am working on is finding 20 geocaches in every Victorian LGA. Over 3 different visits to the Hobson Bay LGA, I am now up to 16 finds. Today was the day to finish off this LGA and I seemed to have done it in style. 19 finds and no DNFs in this LGA. Most of them by Rob MC, so big thanks to this CO. Took a while to work out what the hint meant. Thanks for the cache, Rob MC.Hunter
I feel like Im getting into Robmcs thinking style having done so many of his caches in the last few days. Walked straight up, and had my hand on the cache within seconds! Clever hint.
Checked on a maintenance run and it was not in its correct spot.Now replaced with new log sheet.
Searched high and low - hint stumped us. Will have to return for another look next time
We got out today as it was GeoBF's last day off. We went for a drive down here to seek some caches. This one had us scratching our heads! We attempted it a few times but came up short. There is a section of the area that has been fenced off and thought perhaps that may have prevented our find. I hope that was the case. We will return!
Ahhhh my first DNF , not sure where we went wrong , pretty sure we figured out the hint searched high and low all over the bridge and surrounds but no luck ,construction sees temp fences attached to bridge under sign ,hoping workers didn't find and discard ? ... I'll be back !!
Very sneaky spot. Wasn't expecting it to be there considering the name of the cache. Thanks for the hide
Out grabbing a smiley after visiting a cousin
It was easy once I realised what the hint was saying
Thanks

Finally, after a few visits. Early morning, so no one around. Morning dew, so watch out when taking the lid off. It can go flying
*The TDOC23 Ice Cream Day Event Adventure #3*
This bike riding caper is hard work! Good thing there's ice cream at the end of it!
Another quick cache, although there was a problem that presented itself. There's a lot of CITO in the area, and my fingers are twitching.
Thanks heaps for the cache!

I had come over to the west side in order in attend [RoamingHowie's](https://www.geocaching.com/p/?guid=24963346-56c5-4daf-8308-a01f60f5a5ba&wid=797b3b7c-dc2c-499b-acb1-2e0024ef5a67&ds=2) [TDOC23: World Ice Cream Day +3 (GCA69W3)](https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GCA69W3_tdoc23-world-ice-cream-day-3) event, but in order to beat the traffic over the Westgate I ended up leaving a bit early, which meant I had a little bit of time to kill once I got over the bridge.
*Well mmhmm... what in the world could I possible do to pass the time... lol*
So I ended up scouting out a possible cache or two that I could grab before heading over to the event and so with this one having parking nearby, I decided that I would make it my first target.
I ended up parking almost right in front of GZ. By the time I had arrived the sun had completely set, but this didn't seem to slow down the muggle traffic. There were so many muggles going for runs along the path. I ended up having to be very strategic on making my search for the cache. I had to do it in about three or four goes before I was able to eliminate all the possible beacons and finally find the cache.
Then I tried to quickly sign it and replace it before another exercising muggle came pass.
I ended up finding [Brad's Dodge Charger Trackable (TB566D9)](https://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?guid=86746c93-3e0f-418c-a306-0388b1e4c6a1) in another cache the other day, but due to this cache being a micro, I will just dipped it in this one and keep it moving.
A big thanks to [Robmc](https://www.geocaching.com/p/?guid=8c6da355-5faf-48e8-b98e-90682fa8f428&wid=78866c68-a0fd-4fde-98f1-bbe3758dae35&ds=2) for the fun tonight. TFTC.
**Cache Maintenance Status**
The top of the cache container is no longer attached to the cache. It sits in the cache fine to seal it, but it's no longer physically attached anymore. However, it must be working as the logbook was still clean and dry and it had plenty of room for future cache finders to sign.

We often drop into the Williamstown area to break our trip through The City to places north or west of the state. This was the break I chose for today. We were able to park reasonably closely and safely. It took some time, rereading of the cache page and thinking before realising where the cache was. Initially I thought it was just out of my reach, but after The _Evil_Muggle retrieved it I had a go from a different angle and arm and I could reach it. Thanks for a tricky cache!
Not where I originally thought! Attribute threw me off for a few minutes. Found it in the end after looking up. TFTC! C&H
Found! But log is soaking wet. Thankfully had a gel pen, hopefully doesn’t smudge!
With Mrs one-eyed and imapoms dad we spent the morning caching sports wood and with his help found this one thanks from one-eyed
Sorry about this but in my haste forgot to include imapom in

That was way harder then it needed to be. Was looking in the obvious place first walking up and down the rail , then looked up and saw it
On our day out to Scienceworks, we thought we’d check the local area for caches. Great hiding spot.
So great to be back in the West where I grew up! Thanks for the cache - was an easy find BUT be warned ️ the lid is loose (not attached to the container) so take it off gently because we didn't and it fell down the crack and needed a small hand to get it out again! Luckily we managed to get it out...don't let it happen to you
Out and about today enjoying the sunny weather exploring this suburban coast with Mudbrick.
Certainly busy out here this afternoon with workmen - and cyclists!
With a break in the traffic it was a quick retrieval at GZ.
Clever hint too
.

Found it........While we were down in the big smoke celebrating my bosses retirement we decided to collect some caches while in the area. With the day getting on and there being a few hundred kms left to get home we made this one of our last for the trip. Once parking the Geo Truck we made our way to GZ and waited our time to make the grab as the container was spotted easily but with the amount of traffic on the path we had to time our retrieval and replacement of the cache but with the log signed and replaced we continued our journey. Thanks Robmc for the cache
With echidna44. This was a quick find for some, while others spent ages searching. Cool hide, thanks Robmc!
Out with pinnacle333 we were caching in the Yarraville area.
Another sneaky hide, thanks Robmc

Got it. Dropped the lid down a crack. Got it out with a stick after some trouble .
This took way too long.
PrezDough and I searched everywhere hunting for this one.
We were about to call it quits and despite my thoughts that this would be an obvious placement, I decided that I would try it and sure enough it soon presented itself.
The cache, container and log are in excellent condition.

Out caching today with CJDenno. We were going for some lunch but came upon this cache. We delayed lunch and went out for another cache. We were very confused at first as the GZ was at a location we both didn’t expect. Quickly put our names and went out for lunch.

Nice one. Container is getting a little damaged and log has been wet at some point. Nice hiding spot though.
TFTC Robmc. Busy spot! Ships cruising, muggle cyclists, joggers and speeding scooters! But what a view this troll has!

I’m glad I attacked this one at night, I may of disturbed the bunny’s the clue is a good one TFTC
Ok so my geo-pride doesn’t enjoy admitting this DNF.. it’s a great clue and I’m sure the cache is where it should be- I just don’t have fully developed geo-senses to rely upon (yet!)..but I’m going back later today- look out troll- that cache is mine!
Just rode down and checked this cache.
All in the right spot and ready to be found.

Nice quick find here with the geofamily before meeting Melbourne folk nearby. What great views here. A few fisherman about but didn’t look like they were having much luck. Thanks for the cache.
