This geocache has been muggled. Thanks to all those that did find and look after it to date!
Pretty clear where this one would be thanks to the cache name.
All in good order

My dad and brother are in town for a visit, so I have been introducing them to the world of geocaching. We had a night cache planned for their final night, but saw that our planed one hadn't been found in over six months with plenty of DNFs! So we decided to go for an easy one because it is nighttime and raining. This one was a perfect match. Geobro found it and he made up a victory song to celebrate. Alas I don't think he'll be a geocacher after this little holiday as we found so many amazing ones this weekend and he knows it is only downhill from here. TFTC.
Out for our cache of the day, which was ultimately a very quick find, bit GOS woes had us all over the place until Zedaycee stumbled across it.
Quick and easy find. Even with my GPS telling me it was some where else
With Zedaycee and Angelique Anja.

Parked nearby and a short walk to the posted coordinates. There were roadworks in the vicinity but no workers nearby. There were, however, a few muggles with dogs on the nearby path. Found the cache without too much difficulty. The log seemed a little fragile and looked as though it had been partially eaten by insects or something. We left a temporary log. TFTC
Find #3368
Had some spare time on a Sunday evening so I headed out after dark to check a few in an area that I have passed through recently but not stopped to cache. After one find and one DNF nearby I headed on to this one. There were some people out on the back deck in an overlooking property so I was conscious of poking around with the torch. I found GZ a little hard to pinpoint as my GPS jumped around but soon enough I spotted something and hand the cache in hand. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables. Thanks for the cache tkafl.

Found at 13:42
I was in the area and this cache wasn't too far out of my way so I came for a look. At first I had to dodge a muggle walker but a short walk away and back and I had the area to myself.
I found the cache instantly as it was out in the open with the lid off. The log was not usable so I retreated to the car where I had a notebook and a small ziplock bag.
I replaced the cache where I assumed it came from with some nearby camo.

Badly in need of maintenance. Coords are not exact. Hopefully we found the right cache?
Don't know whether to log this one or not. I found a plastic container, with only torn-up pieces of log inside (very wet paper, but definitely Geocache material). Might need a check from somebody who knows what it's supposed to look like?
Looking to keep my streak alive I stopped off for this cache. Reached GZ, and looked around. Hmm... nothing matches the 'clue', but that looks a little sus. Yep, there it is! Not sure of the relevance of the clue on this one. Could certainly use a new log, but otherwise all good. Tftc
Made a quick stop on the way home from work to make this find. I think i will bring the family back another day and we will walk our dog here.
The logs are a little wet. Tftc

This certainly is a popular walking route even on a very hot day. We managed to find the cache and do the signing duties in between muggles passing by. Thank you to tkafl for bringing us to this lovely green space. We have never been to this part of Melbourne before.
A quick park n grab this evening, made easier by the cache being instantly visible out in the open...
Hiding place was accurate to co-ords, but not related to what the hint indicates - will PM CO to query.
Signed the log and replaced where found, with additional enviro camo to conceal. Thanks for the cache, tkafl.

Good one too find, think Muggles had found and moved so have placed again in new spot in same pin range...... and have left a small trinket... happy finding
A quick and easy find as we cache our way through the area today. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.
Found by Facitman at 9:57
Timing is everything and while I've walked past this spot many times it's never been a good time to grab this cache. Today I was walking j-facit and the other j-facit and as the path was quiet we detoured off the track for a quick find, which was satisfactorily converted into a real find as the cache contained a pencil as I left home unprepared, note above comment about timing.
Log written and dog exploration completed we continued our circuit.

This was next on my way to work this morning. Thankfully there was no-one around and the SPOR led the way straight to the stash at 08:20.

Another geodaughter find found very quickly. Geoboy took the Ironman dogtag. Couldn't reason with a 3 yr old to leave it.
After a few minutes of following the compass at GZ, I knew u had to revert to geosenses which thanks to a quick survey of the land had the cache quickly in hand. Left a trackable, Tftc
Had fun finding this one with the kids. Had to watch their balance and a few false alarms due to plastic stuck on rocks from Creek. Ducklings were there and my daughter was chased by the mum which was a highlight.
Oops, put in description for wrong cache - sorry! This was an easy find by my daughter. Took stickers and left an ironman key chain.
In the dark a little harder. GZ off a little to find appropriate area with torch.
Cache found - thanks for pencil as pen does not work on damp log. Man need plastic bag in side. Otherwise thanks for the cache in a quiet strip park

This was a quick find for me. Not sure why I couldn't find it the last time I was here, I must've been distracted by the constant stream of muggles on a sunny day. Tftc!
Looking for some caches after work and escaping the madness of the traffic on the freeway, I did a search of nearby caches.
Another neat little linear park that requires further investigation.

Another brisk morning but felt like another cache to start the day. This one turned out to be a quick drive by find. tftc
We found this cache today at 11:55am as 4 of 5 on our Sunday Lunchtime Hunt with Squiptar. No trouble with this one. No, not a bit. Thanks from D, H & A B-A.
Almost busted by a muggle Dalmation, but managed to sign and replace in nifty spot.
Cap'n Welderrr and his crew of brave mateys came back to these waterrrs lookin' for a piece of silver... but Cap'n Square Pegs be chasin' those same rumourrrs in faster galleon.
Thanks goldennuggethunters, the game is afoot again!

This cache brought me close between two locations that were very familiar to me many moons ago. It's a lovely location and today with the sun shining it was great to visit. With the trip down memory lane completed, I collected a TB that had only recently been dropped off as it turns out.
Thanks to tkafl for the cache.

Wanted to go for a quick jog this morning and decided to do a geocache on the way. This one is an old favourite. Left a TB. TFTC
Aye be bravin' these 'ere waters on the lookout for 'pieces of 8'.
Too bad me luck ran aground...
But aye did spy a sunken oasis and a neat little stash. Aye be seeing no other pirates about, aye etched me mark on the scroll before raisin' anchor, hoistin' the mainsail and settin' a course in search of me booty.
Cheers be to tkafl and his crew for bringin' Capt'n Welderrrr to this secluded 'arbour.

Our approach was slowed by a couple of magpies that seemed to be used to our activity and continued their foraging in front of us. Finally we were able to reach the cache true to its name at 12:48 still dry. TFTC
Out on a caching journey with geojill_11, doing the freshly published OCRP series we did this one on the way and I had forgotten to log it
A quick find in a cool spot on the other side of the town tftc

Out on a caching run with Mark9375. Nice little hide in a great little park. TFTC
Came back to see the updated version of Rock 'n Roll. I was so pleased with the look of the cache I left a TB.
TFTC! Might come back here for a bike ride nav was about 6m out from the find but Dandrews was on top of the whole rocky situation.
This cache has been repaired and replaced, with slightly better camo, so hopefully it won't get muggled again.
This cache has been muggled on a recent check of it. I will repair and place the cache shortly with a new log and see if we can provide some better camo.

Found while out geocaching with Oz in NZ (who found this cache in october 2015). I also found the coords were not quite spot on but since the location was fairly obvious this was no worry. TFTC
Easy find in a logical spot. As previous logs mentioned the co-ords are a little off from GZ. I'd also suggest that if the cache is to survive long term a waterproof container ought to be used with an intact ziplock bag. Currently neither are the case.
TNLNSL and visited some traveling and personal TBs. TFTC tkafl.

Went for a bike ride, on the way thought would stop and check for geocaches, tada found another one!

These caches need a barcode or q-code me thinks fir those time when one is without a pen or similar writing instrument. Geocachers could then log their visits virtually by scanning such codes with their smartphones... A tool most of us never leave home without these days... Just a thought. TFTC.
Oh one more thing whilst its still fresh on my mind... I shall call them William, Bert & Tom. Couldn't resist making the Tolkien reference for this particular geocache. Thanks again for the cache.
Quick find as the muggles streamed past on this very pleasant morning. Collected the two TB's
Followed the coords and searched unsuccessfully until some geosense kicked in and the cache was located 14 m from where the GPS said it should be TFTC tkafl
Out with au.fait, we searched for this one. Finally we had success finding the cache in an obvious spot (14metres from where both our GPS were pointing) Thanks tkafl
My phone battery had died but I had remembered the location. Lucky the clues weren't necessary!
As noted by others I also found the coords were not quite spot on but since the location was fairly obvious this was no worry. TFTC
Last cache of a nice Sunday afternoon. Looked around in the wrong place for a bit before previous logs tipped me off that the coordinates are slightly inaccurate. Might want to look at that.
Anyways, tftc.

Another great hide by tkafl!
The cache was right where it should be.
My coordinates were about 20 metres off
at S 37° 50.529 E 144° 59.666 - but it might just be my phone acting up.
Very well done - and a nice walk in a beautiful area.

Found by a group of budding geocachers. Fun outing on the bikes with the geokids.
Today was the day for a long bike ride with a bit of caching thrown in. I got dropped off in Kew then meandered through Abbotsford, Collingwood, the City, along the Yarra then along the Monash through Camberwell then headed home. The weather started out sunny but slowly the skies darkened and there was a slight chill in the air.
A quick find. TFTC.

As we pulled up at this cache we noticed a family walking around in circles looking at a device. Hmmm, think we know what they are doing! We stayed in the car until they'd finished finding the cache. Always kind of cool watching someone else do their 'we found it!' Cache happy dance! After they'd moved on the Chief went & found it without bothering with a device!
