searched high and especially low. Pretty sure this is not here despite the last person saying Found (with only 5 finds in total) yet the previous 4 people were DNF's.
I think the cache owner needs to check on this.

I looked hard but found nothing. I know where I would hide it though, but the spot is empty. I will watch this one.
Today Ausfox;, Neville_devil and myself spent the day caching around Darebin Parklands, Heidelberg and Ivanhoe. With the weather being a bit on and off (One minute the sun was shining the next the rain was pouring) but that didn't stop us enjoying the day out.
it was now well and truly dark and we were hungry. Working our way towards food we past this one last cache. Ausfox; was driving and parking was non existent but a quick find it was luckily for us.
Thank you Jimmytherat & Flopsybunny for our last smiley of the day

Headed up to Melbourne for a day of caching with SimsFamily and Neville Devil, was planned to be an easy day for me but as always doesn’t go to plan. The journey up the highway was in torrential rain which eased once we were in Melbourne resulting in an Great day caching.
I stayed in the car incase it needed to be moved quickly while the other two made a quick find.
Log signed and replaced as found.
Thanks for the Cache Jimmytherat & Flopsybunny

I was losing light fast as I arrived here but I was determined to turn this one into a smiley. I couldn't find anything so I went back to the footpath to read previous logs and to wait out somebody leaving their house.
On my way back, this time with torch, I found it - that's well hidden.
Thank you

Really good job hiding! GPS lead us a little astray; but found in the end. Great camo!!!
Found quickly after a short walk.
2 caches onsite though, both with date crossovers so not sure what's the go there. Tftc!

A quick trip to Melbourne for PAX and visiting the family. This was my one find for the trip to drop off a TB. Cache located easily TFTC
In the area after buying a new Geobike I noticed a few green dots on my map
Parked in the side street and walked back up the hill to locate this one
A nice quiet suburb on a very busy road
My GPS lead me straight to the cache so s quick find was had

Terrible day weather wise but good for getting a couple of caches whilst in this area for work.
Parked to the north and crossing this busy road took ages. Spotted both caches here, signed only the top one
Thanks

Parking in a street to the north I had to cross over nearby. Wow there was a lot of traffic here, which surprised me to see it banking up on a Saturday. Once across to GZ, I looked in a few spots and was pleased to locate the hide.
The cache was found on 17/06/2017 at 12:28:00 PM.
Thanks to Jimmytherat for placing this cache.

Out caching with echidna44 and my daughter..... relatively easy find.... thank you
Out with lizzyb123, l watched as they found the hide as they are newbies. Great spot, thanks jimmytherat (& flopsybunny)
A clever place for a cache in posh suburbia. I signed the log book (one with a yellow cover) then as I returned the container noticed a second, identical Systema box underneath. I considered also signing the 'lower' log, but thought that would lead to confusion. The hide would be more compact if a single cache was used. Tftc.
Just because of the souvenir today we took a detour on our way to find a cache. And it was a gap in the rain. TFTC
We found this cache today at 3:35pm as number 20 of 22 on our Easter Monday Ivanhoe Hop. We parked around the corner and "HA" stayed in the car whilst I walked back around. Found two caches at the spot, one on top of the other. Thanks from D & HA B-A.
Definitely getting a workout with all the hills around here! TFTC, great spot!
Found while waiting for the numbness to wear off after a visit to the dentist. Isaviv
Dropped in on my way to an appointment nearby. Interesting little cut through. Easy find. Thanks.
The car broke down on Banksia st, but three people stopped to help me push around the corner. This cache was the embossed logo on today's silver linings. Thanks
Suscoe had a day out in the inner North East today.
It was a delightful day, mild temperatures for Summer and a gentle south easter blowing.
We enjoyed the wander and found a few caches which was a pleasant way to spend the day.
Thanks to Jimmytherat for this cache, we found the way in and out today quite easily.

For the second time. First time forgot to log it. On my way home from my monthly massage i did the quick driveby up the service lane. Did the quick refind and signed it off again.Thanks for the caceh jimmytherat
Been here a few times and couldn't find it. Decided to look where the clue said not to look and found it
On the way home and needing to grab a cache to keep the current run of caches going. Today is day 6 in a row with a cache. Nice little spot that is easy to park and a wander to the right spot. Easy find, sign and return.
Thanks for the cache.

Today I decided to head out and look for the final clue that I needed for the OSS series of caches so that I could search for the final. Weather turned out really nice for bike riding and managed to find a few others on my way.
I arrived here and "drove" through on my bike stopped when the GPS said to and there was the cache.
Thanks Jimmytherat for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

On a puzzle collection afternoon with Jeckleberryandtedd and Charlibear10.
This drive through is the best kind of drive through - not a cent to spend and a cache to be found!!
A quick catch today. Thanks!

Out with TinkerTraveller and my Geokid CharliBear10 collecting solved puzzles in the area. Previously had a DNF on this one but winter and the loss of foliage made this one a quick find. TFTC.
Lovely little drive thru......service was fast, cache was quality and it was free
Dropped off a TB. TFTC

Here in the company of quiet1_au and GJMMelb. We were looking for a few more caches after completing the first 12 in the nearby bike trail series. Our last cache for the day. I parked right near GZ, and made the quick find. TFTC
Last cache of the day for us, I had to park around the corner having let other parking spots go by, but soon joined lochb and G' of GJMMelb there. The map was telling me fibs so while I looked where I thought it ought to be, lochb had crossed the road and beaten G' to the find - it certainly was a more typical location for a cache... TFTC
Found with Lochb and Quiet1_au. This was my last cache for the afternoon. The others beat me to Gz and had the cache found before I arrived. Thanks jimmytherat

I was out cycling nearby on this lovely sunny Sunday afternoon so I huffed and puffed my way up the hill to the GZ. The cache was soon spotted and retrieved however I moved back out of sight of the adjacent house so I could sign the log without looking too suss.

Looked under everything - but no cache. The last cacher must have buried the cache.
-nirgal- had already found this cache so he just watched on whilst I searched. Turned out it was a lot less hidden than when we made the find the first time back in Jan. We picked this cache up at 2:58pm. When we left, I made sure the cache was a little more covered than when we found it.
-nirgal- and I headed out to visit with geo_jas and pick up Victoria's Reverse Cache (GA6859). What else was there to do on the way back, than pick up a few caches. We had the cache in had at this point and had pushed the button twice. We knew we had to zero in a bit more before the next button push.

Found tonight with grumpy gramps whilst out on our Thursday adventure. Of course hoping for double fingers. TFTC
Stopped between street O and home and soon found the cache. All is in order despite the variable weather recently.
We headed over towards Ivanhoe this afternoon for a bite to eat and a chance to grab a few caches, we managed a park not too far from the gz and managed a quick find. Thanks Jimmytherat for the hide.
This was my first cache in Melbourne and also in Australia will be in Australia for 6 weeks so I'm going to do some more caches.
Easy and fast found without mobile data connection and an GPS device.
Thanks for the cache

Finally this time came up with the goods.
Thanks for the cache here. After a DNF on Eaglemont #1, this was just what was ordered.
First for the month and first for the day. TFTC

Dropping the younger child off at a friend's meant time for a meander and cache hunt on the way home.
Been eyeing this one off for a while, but never had time to be in the right approach lane as I passed. THis morning, serendipity smiled upon me at last, for a short stop.
Thanks, jimmytherat.

The kids were magic at home so we headed out to a park. We were going right past here so a quick stop want too much trouble. Only one geokids came out to look and he picked the location although I did the grabbing.
Thanks Jimmytherat for the cache.
