Searched with an old pocket query. Now I know why I didn't find.
Thank you skakids for the Cache and the fun.

I found the crushed cache container and log so I replaced the container and repositioned the cache to suit the new container. It can be put back into service. Thanks skakids.
Was a no find for me today am determined to come back and prove that a crazy wheelie can do this one from a wheelchair lol
This cache still needs work. It's really out in the open, I'm surprised it hasn't been muggled. Quick easy find. TFTC!
Yeahhh found it...i think there is all okay...now climbing nothing...cool cache...tftc...
Was a lucky find today but I had to climb to get the cache and I think the cache need to checked by the maker.

Found the cache through a pile of dirt with the camo fallen of. I hid the cache again so you can go to this cache to look for it now.
This cache needs maintenance. The host has trimmed. The cache has been through a mulcher if we are any guess. Bits and pieces found throughout a pile of rubbish. Log now missing.
Found it but needs service... tucked it away hidden it were you can see for I do not know the hiding spot (it was smashed on the pile of dirt... will cover up so the muggles don't find.. TFTC
Thanks for the cool hiding place. Super made and also for the care of the hiding a thank you.
Found as I took my daughter home from the cheerleading championships. Nice and cache.
With lisyb. Looked here, looked elsewhere then came back again. Lisyb was sure it was here but too short to see for herself
#9/9 of a lovely chilling summer weather biking Melbourne exploring day. This one was done at the dusk, just when bats go out ?? TFTC
It seems 9.30 am is a good time to do this cache. No one around and minimal passing traffic. A quick find with Jbro75. TFTC
Found it! It's no longer hanging like people said it was, but still a cool and easy find! We found 2 caches, and as a tip- always take a second look.
Last time we were here we spent waaaaay too long looking. We were in the middle of a run of DNFs on this one, so maybe it wasn't there then. Anyway, today part of the team were at MSAC bright and early for comps, so they slipped out and went over here, and found it straight away. Nice hide. Think we signed the log 19th, but definitely there on Sunday 20th. TFTC 
Managed to grab this great cache after a DNF the last time I came through looking for it. Really well hidden!
4th cache found today. Zeroed in on area. Probably unusually quiet so able to check the potential hiding spots. Put my hand in something and bingo. May have disturbed hiding spot so have asked CO to check. Great spot. Good cache
Thanks skakids
Thanks skakids
In Melbourne for swimming at MSAC tomorrow. Heading out for a pre dinner walk. Great cache!
**down in Melbourne for the weekend. Got up early and went to look for this one before the muggles got around. Had trouble finding a parking spot, but did in the end. Great came, giving this one a fav. nice quick easy find on a quiet morning. Thanks for bringing us to this great place. Our grandkids go here to swim.Cheers.**
What a awesome find. Great camouflage. One of the coolest boxes we've come across yet. Giz from Wales and Emmy from Phillip Island
Finally a quick find, the co-ordinates were good and the cache was found pretty quickly. Loved the camouflage on the cache container. Left a geocoin to begin it's journey.
Find number two in our day of caching, good co-ordinates and very nice camo on the cache.
I am pretty sure that I had my hands on this cache a couple of years ago, but am either mistaken or forgot to log. Today, on a ride, I came by and made the find as I knew where it was. All quiet on this Friday, so an easy sign and return. Thanks for the cache, skakids.
Well disguised cache. Had a good time finding this one. A muggle spotted me and asked what i was doing (it was 4.30am so it looked a bit odd) and i proceeded to explain to him the world of geocaching. He was very interested and wanted to try it.

Wonderful evening for grabbing a cache on the way home. Had a bit of a surprise at GZ!
The tenant guardian decided it was better to be outside in the cooler evening air than being poked by a human.
Nice piece of camo and a nice little hide.

Found with geokids while in the area. Was looking at the wrong feature until another hiding spot seemed to fit the bill.
With turn four, this is like a toofer one deal. I'm onto you skedids. (Excuse spelling.) great cache!!!
A detour after work for the daily cache and soon we were down at MSAC. Great view of the pool from this spot. We have spent a bit of time inside MSAC but never walked or drove along this road. The cache was easily guessed to the spot and we soon had a familiar type of cache hide from the Skakids. Another great camo.
We did a bit of work on the device to hold the cache in place. Might need to be looked at soon to ensure it doesn't fall.

Some sort of swimming carnival here this afternoon meant I needed to be fairly stealthy while identifying and then extracting the cache. Nice camo and nice hiding spot here, thanks for the cache skakids.

Albert Park - what a great area to spend a few hours while a younger family member has an appointment in the city. We were batty enough to get this one quite quickly, although we did have to improvise a tool! A FP for great cammo.
Not sure what geoNkenter is on about re *"New location"*! Didn't notice their monica in the log book either - did they actually find it or is there a throwdown? Satellites today had our GZ 6m N of where we found the cache.
**Feedback to CO:** TR of 1.5 is very misleading - TR should be 2.0.
Our thanks to skakids for placing this cache.

You pwned us n00bs.
We will return. It was 45 degrees and 120% humidity. It could have been there but the water was more tempting.
Thanks to skakids and *clear skies* from TeamAstro.

I could see something but could not work out how to get to it. Over thinking maybe another day
Spent quite a bit of time searching for this one. Several possible hiding places, one in particular that we concentrated on, but came up empty-handed. Widened the search to both sides of the road and other areas, but returned to where we thought (and where lots of vegetation was trampled...). Still no joy for us.
We found parts up and down at 16:45 but apart from the "old" log they were disconnected. The "old" log has been returned to the "new" container. TFTC
Found It!
I found (and signed) the logbook but no cache container - might be worth a check by the CO.

Great day for a swim if you are that way inclined but there are caches to be found.TFTC
Second day of caching with my 2 favourite people team GoldJ from Tassie. We meet through caching on board a cruise ship almost 12 months ago. TFTC.

I was up and out early today before having a busy rest of the day. It is always nice being around Albert Park Lake and this morning was very quiet, plenty of muggles getting some exercise. With paid parking only in this area, I parked close by and thankfully I didn't have anyone blocked in. Cache was found with a torch, no log in the container but someone has left a bookmark to sign. Signed and replaced as found.
**Thanks for placing this trad cache skakids** [^]
**Cache container and log in good condition**
**Took nothing, Left nothing**

TFTC skakids. Nice placement! My first on a glorious Melbourne day today. Jimmytherat
After finding Turn 4, I realised that I had enough time to collect one further cache. I was able to quickly grab this one in between passing muggles, trams and cars. tftc

I was volunteered to deliver my elder child to the city fringe... the trade-off was obviously going to be that I'd take the scenic route home.
My main aim for this evening was the Wherigo at the GP circuit, if the weather held. Parking on the northern fringe, I reached here via the St. Vincent Gardens, because Geocaching means never having to take the direct route.
Night time is fun... not a soul in sight apart from those whizzing by obliviously, so it was a doddle to pluck this one from its hiding place.
Thanks, skakids.

Hello, this is a temporary boring log. I plan to edit and go into more detail once I am back in the USA. Found with Railwalker and signed the cache with our team name, HistoryMajors2007. Cheers and thank you for the cache.
