Closed for repairs. Will return soon

Found cache, could see it, but seems that someone has secured the access point to it so unable to sign. Had a tool that could help but not the other we would have nneded. Tftc

Good spot haven't seen a big one in melbourne yet.

After doing some shopping nearby I remembered that this cache was here. I haven't been to the Centreway for years. It is quite a nice little place to sit snd enjoy the serenity. Today I was joined by lorikeets chirping away and flying from tree to tree.

I must agree too about the proportion of large caches around.

Thanks Operator.

Tftc

Nice place to chill out. Tftc

What a great sized cache in this area. I used to come here all the time when JB Hi Fi was here. TFTC

Ye

Found with Shanae and Carla.
Carla's first cache!!!!!

Nice to find a cache with room for trades! Very nice little park in the midst of a town square!. TNLNSL. Dropped a couple travel bugs to move along their way. Happy travels! TFTC.

After a quick search and avoiding a muggle going to his car the cache was in hand TFTC

p.s. the log is wet. And so are our bums.

did this at 10.30pm. Muggle free zone at this hour. Great hide. Well done Operator. Grabbed 3 Travel bugs. TFTC.

Beautiful day for some caching. Nice easy find, had to dodge some mugglers in the park. Dropped off and picked up some trackables. Even got to sign with my new shiny scented glitter pens. TFTC

The big ones are north of the border. Nice to see a big one.

Thanks to Operator and *clear skies* from TeamAstro. Cache the planet!

It started out as a morning catch up for Father's Day with a nice hot Cappuccino and afresh cooked bun from the bakery. After this enjoyable treat it was time to let 2yo geo boy run off a little energy in the play ground. While this was happening It was the perfect time to disappear for a quick cache grab. With some inclination as to where it was we made the walk over, and after a bit of muggle waiting the cache was found. I really liked the spot and the effort into hiding this one, so we'll done. Log signed and fellow geo bro dropping of a few bugs all replaced as found, and we continued on with the rest of our Father's Day.

Sat around for a while wondering where it might be

Welfare check. All good

Bug drop off. with silverfox07 the late logger.

Found it very nice hide thanks

Found this cache months ago, but due to muggles sitting on bench, could not grab the logbook, so came back today to do the honours, and also grabbed the TB to take to Europe with me next month, Thanks Operator for a well thought out cache
My computer keeps returning to July on logging page, but hoping it now fixed and wont change all my found dates

Find it easily and dropped a track able lots of muggles around

Found by GeoAb. Great to see a large container on a busy location. Thanks.

Nice easy find. Quiet area on a Sunday afternoon.

Nice

I love the big ones K&E

Very busy and heavy concentration of muggles. Nice hide however. Needed to wait a little before it was clear to put it back.

Nice hiding place. bit muggley here today but still a quick find

With Zedaycee and Angelique Anja.

Super simple find! Nice park though with lots of muggles. Getting the cache was simple enough, though returning it took some patience.

Found with riggingitup

Lots of rain = no people. Easy find

Great to have such a large cache at such a public area. Picked this off right after a business meeting nearby. Left a Halo action figure to guard this from muggles.

Find 306

A quick easy find. Out with my daughter today to test out the new car! Enjoying a lovely wet Melbourne day together.

Tftc - took nothing left a foreign coin as a cache this big deserves more swag

Ttfc, was just dropping by the old pet shop and im glad theres a cache here!
Took nothing, left nothing

Nice easy find. Tftc

Out caching on Friday 13th, killing time before dinner and after a trip to the aquarium and shopping nearby.
Nice quick find, even with a few young muggles about- although they weren't paying too much attention to us whilst searching.
Log signed and replaced, TNLNSL.

Awesome big cache. Luckily it was a quiet Monday so very few Muggles around.
TFTC!!!

TFTC. Good for being `stealthy` when park is busy... Coffee shop over the road if you need to hang around a bit.

Cool hiding spot TFTC

Loosey goosey

Nice

Found with audiclare.

Found it! Cache might need maintenance as there was no lid (and some weird things in the log) tftc

Found it. Thanks! TFTC

It was a surprise driving off the main road and finding this quaint little play park and shopping area. Cache was easily spotted but extreme stealth was required.. Simply too many muggles about! This one was pretty magical, and sirius-ly put a smile on my face. Thanks a bunch! Kept coming back to it, unsure if I'd put it back/hidden it well enough. It'd be a shame if this one was tampered with. Favorited!

I had been to Centreway many years ago back when JB HiFi was there and selling records out the front. The shopping area hasn't really changed much and no more JB HiFi there, but now everywhere else.

A lovely cache hide and for such a busy area we couldn't believe it when we saw the size of the cache.

Great hide.

Found by Team Justice #736 - JJ, MJ

Cool spot!

Nice hide

Lovely little place. Grabbed some lunch from the bakery and sat in the park while we sussed out the situation. Geokids went for a recon and had it spotted straight away. We didn't have a lot of swaps on us so actually went to the discount shop to pick up some more- it's a pity to see a big premium cache with so few swaps! So we added a few things we'd purchased. Thanks so much for the cache!

This was very cool! FP awarded for the clever construction.
Spotted the cache container straight away but had to figure out the way to access it. And with school holidays there were kids galore playing so had to be extra stealthy.
When I gained access I couldn't help but smile: amazing!
I still remember visiting the original JB HiFi store here a few years back when I lived in the area.
Thanks for the great cache! TNLNSL returned as found

Out and about for a picnic in Brimbank Park and picked up this cache on our way home.
TFTC

Nice Hide! SL and left a travel bug.

Great spot! Took me a couple of stills around the park to think about it.

Found with MrsBlackDuck before we spent the morning at the craft cafe nearby. My knitting bag had to be moved before we found what needed to be found. Clever. Cache and log in perfect condition!

Lovely day out and oh look the Craft Cafe! A geocache and crochet. I am a nerd. Good hiding spot for a cache. It is a good size too, bit sorry I did not have anything to leave in there. TFTC.

After reading the title I just had to look for this one. A great shopping centre where I bought some great dim sims for lunch. Walked up to GZ and spotted the hide but then ..... how do I get that?
Soon had that worked out and carefully held on to the container. Signed the log. Replacing it was easier than getting it. Very clever hiding spot and brave too. it has a favourite point coming your way as a result.
TFTC Operator

What a lovely winters day to grab a few caches in the area.
Area was deserted with not many people as round, so a Muggle free zone is just the way I like it.
Didn't see it initially until my hand leaned on something and I saw it and then reakiused what the hint meant!!!
Great idea, love the hiding spot!!
TFTC

Out doing a spot of caching this evening with ms-enchantress while I'm in melbourne for a work trip.

This one was on the way back to my hotel so we called past for a look.

Previous finder was right about the pizza shop! We pulled up and got out of the car and the owner was having a good look at us out the window! Probably wondering what the draw of this area is late at night!!

This took a bit of finding but not long and we had the cache in hand. So nice to see some bigger caches hidden in suburban areas!

Took geocoin to come back to Tassie with me.

Thanks for the cache Operator.

Gosh gee... Im glad we came here at 11.30pm! There was not a soul to be seen. I can imagine during the day you would need ultra stealth!
Tonight it was a quick find and no one around :)

Thanks Operator for placing this cache :)

I grew up in the street next to the centreway so know the area very well and spent many hours browsing in the now departed JB Hifi. I've been meaning to make it back this way to visit this cache since it's been published but it has taken me a lot longer than I thought it would. Tonight I was looking for a quick cache on the way home and this one sprung to mind. Arriving at around 10pm I thought I would have the area mostly to myself but the pizza shop directly across the road had also decided that this was a good time to update the signage on the front window so this took a lot more stealth than I had imagined. Luckily I stumbled upon the hide quickly and with only one false start was able to extract the cache and sign the log. Thanks for the interesting hide Operator and for bringing me back to the area. I took the trackable in the cache and dropped off one of mine that hopefully will have more luck than the last few.

Out and about with xambo4u for an afternoon run. Parked close by and were pleased that we were making a Sunday visit. Mrs80 spotted this one and MrsX had the small hand and made the retrieve. TFTC

Out and about with 80 degrees for a short afternoon run to clear out more in this area. Found this to be a very well laid out shopping area. One way circuit, nice little play area safely in inside the square and resting area for the adults. Enough shops to make it worth your while to come here. Excellent planning. Good co ords made this an easy find. Would not like to tackle this on a busy shopping day. Left TB
Thanks for the cache Operator

In Melbourne for a couple of days grabbing a few caches as I can. Tftc

Quick find before work and left a TB.TFTC

What a great hide!

Bit confused with the wig?

Love the local history too.

TFTC

in the pouring rain at 8am, I still had to be careful with a lady road worker standing on the road island watching me! having this cache in an unusual "thing" made it possible to retrieve it, just pretended to write down details of the creator and take photos of it! nice one! TFTC

Out and about in the west caching today and grabbed this on.the way. Had a search - spotted the cache then a way to retrieve it. Feeling bit suss but such a great hide! Thanks for such a creative comcept

We too gave it a fav tick for the sneakiness.
Great hide in a top area.

Many thanks for the hide.

TB

A nice hide. Very clever use of the available surroundimgs. Had breakfadt at little sister near by. Worth a look!

Found by caughtatwork at 14:52 on 4/04/2015
A very well done cache hide here. A bot tricky to get into, but a great place to stash a good old regulr sized cache.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks Operator for this cache here today.

Good hide. Lucky it's good friday today so the park and shops aren't too busy. Found while caching with Smurfy_CH & Dustieann

Easy find

TFTC Greetings from Switzerland

Took a while till we spotted this one

Suscoe's 20th find of the day.
Well this one was an interesting experience, could see it before we could figure out the entrance.
Log signed and all made good.
Thanks to Operator for placing this cache here.
Well done.

A nice big one , daring great hide , found in way home , it was quite busy but nobody was really looking

Got to work early today and had a bit of time to kill. I checked out the caches in the area and this was close
Easy find at 6 15 in the morning
TFTC

A great spot ... Dodged the people wandering past occasionally. Great fun for a Sunday night

Well that's a first for me. I found a wig in the cache! Well done in a larger suburban hide! A fabulous spot to hide a cache. Tftc

A sneaky early morning find. The iPhone had me a little bit away from GZ but after a bit of looking and deducting s likely hiding spot was spotted. A push of this and that and the the cache was seen. A bit of manuvering to get it out but I was rewarded with a nice big cache. Many thanks for this great cache in the middle of a busy area!

All was quiet here early afternoon on Australia Day, which was probably just as well. Managed to find what I assume was the loose bit - at least it enabled me to get at the cache.

We found this cache today at 1:30pm as number 3 of 10 on our Keilor to Mooney Valley Tour. A nice spot for a cache and we had lunch at a nearby bakery. We were so hoping that the way to get to the cache was going to be a cleverly constructed access point. Thanks from D, HA and A B-A.

Dropped tourer at a nearby mechanic to get GVM Rated. Needed to tick another day. Loved this one. When hopped out of car, thought it was another major park furniture but soon realized it wasn't.

Spent the day in Melbourne with tmann421 while waiting for a flight back home.

Collected a few of the local caches and admired the views while in the area.

Another nice quick find for us here.

TFTC

Found during a stopover in Melbourne for 10 hours on the way back from Bali with Just-Lookin.

Soon located - good size
SL TFTC

Wow that is exposed, and BIG. How many times can one tie a shoelace and still remain inconspicuous? About 4 apparently, T4TC

Found it, really hard one with so many people around but we got there in the end, took a trackable that wasn't showing in the cache & will move it on 2 a new location!

Easy find, although I had to come back at night to access the cache stealthily

Absolutely loooove this cache! Hubby and I used to come to this JB quite often, going back 20 years! It would pretty much be the only shop that was ever open apart from a bakery! Our little toddler loved the seat & I loved the herbs. Hubby loved checking out the wobbly bits! Hehe. SL. TFTC!

Introduced to geocaching by my mum. This was my first find...so exciting! Wasn't where i thought it would be. Hidden well. Need to be very sneaky when looking for this one.

Found by Mary & David at 1745. Thought the muggles would have departed by now, but there was a steady stream going into the bottle shop, and one or two wandering the park. Were they going to drown their sorrows, or celebrate, tomorrow? We quickly worked out where the cache had to be and could see it when we got there. After some stealthy manoeuvring, we managed to extract the log and record our visit. Returned the log the same way. A favourite from us for this one. Our thanks to Operator.

First find! Yippee! Found with 2 mugglers (daughter and young grandaughter) daughter soon to be a true believer and join up. Very tricky hide, found by accident.

Took TB

One of the best ones if found!! Luckily there were no muggles around! Took TB

Quickly located the object, took a while to figure out where the cache was though. Once I found was only the beginning of the battle. Tftc

Out on a caching run with pantherx on a pleasant Sunday afternoon.

On approach to this area of shops we were surprised by the lack of cars and muggles. we jumped out and spot a few possible spots and took bearing from the GPS and knew which hide it would be. Once the cache was spot it was a matter of how to get it out. Great hide and concept.

Tftc tnln sl

Find 1304 at 17:05. I was out caching with Burge today and picked up 20 caches on this run. This was find number 6.

It's so refreshing to see a regular size cache as they seem to be all the more rare these days. I like the hiding spot too! Logged the TB. Thanks for the cache, Operator.

Found this one today. I loved the audacity of this sized cache even though it was a bit tricky to remove from its hide. Signed log today but didn't swap anything but I laughed when I saw what was in the cache.

Thanks for the cache Operator.
