Hasn't been found in a while and don't have time to sort it out for a little bit so it's being disabled.
Wandering around a bit before the penny dropped as they say. Good hide and cache in good shape. TNLN TFTC.
Walked up and down 3times thinking I found it and then alas not. Great hiding spot.

The guy working next to the alley just nodded and smiled. Great container-round like most holes TFTC.
I was walking away from town and made a detour to find this one.
I found a loose brick in the wall and thought, what a cool place for a cache but it wasn't there lol!
Another search of a different area revealed the cache.
Thanks melbourne maker
Cache is in good condition.

Reasonably quick find on a cold damp morning. Not too many muggles around. No problem with needles. TFTC
Found while in town after a conference and afterwards met up Omegaman to knock off a few around the burbs, This one was a little tricky to get a gps lock on but it was soon found after a tentative search. Thanks melbourne maker for the hide.

Before some appointments nearby,thought we would grab one on the way. Happy Pants made the find. Caution for other cachers watch out for syringes nearby.

After heading to crown to register for a conference (which is another story altogether!), we headed off to grab this one. A little bit of hunting in the obvious spots saw us turn up the hide. As others have said, watch the needles around. Thanks for the hide and bringing us here.
Found by my muggle friend whilst I searched further up the laneway. Watch out for needles in hideyholes at night. Greetings from Perth. TFTC
Tftc. First of this type of container. It was dark, and I actually gave up and decided to have another try next time in daylight. Then I spotted the cache =)
Find #2193
I was in the city for a few days attending a conference and I realised I hadn't done any caching for nearly week. I spotted two unfound nearby south of the river so made a small diversion on my way back to the train to put an end to that streak. It was pretty dark by the time I arrived here and that didn't help the search. Missed it on the first pass and found it hard to get a lock on GZ but once I came back I put my hand on it. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables. Thanks for the cache melbourne_maker.

Found it! Muggle Heather and I were on a training walk around Sth Melbourne and Albert Park Lake and collecting caches along the way. We came here after finding Ye Olde Skool. It didn't take too long to spot this one. The cache seems to be very 'out in the open'. All is good though. TFTC SL
In the area for Anzac weekend, so today was quiet with most people at the Anzac Day march so this was a quick find in a nice area.
Thanks melbourne_maker for placing & maintaining the cache for us to find.

Quick find by geokid - second one in a row. Once we figured out where to look it was a quick find. Tftc!
Completed with 4 friends looking for half an hour. Was easier than what we made it. A good introductory geocache for my 3 friends - now they are hooked!!!
Didn't bring a pen so had to take a picture of the log. Rookie mistake! Team Scando does it again
MaSvede spotted this one my GPS had a little further down the alley. Thanks for the hide.
Thanks for leading us off the beaten track. Found with 2dogs while nightcaching. Great Spot
After circling the area a few times got my bearings and a quick find resulted. TFTC
Found by The Empire
Decided to head into the city for a walk/cache/shop, picked up an earth cache and two quick traditional caches. This was the second of two, I was looking for something much more disguised than this! Thanks for the cache melbourne maker.

I had spent the day at the Exhibition Center, as I left but before catching the train home I made the short walk to this and hopefully turn it into a smiley. I made this much more difficult than it needed to be but I have a talent for that. The tall building around was making the GPS next useless like always in near CBD caches. So I was using Satellite images to line up where I needed to be. Then I finally saw what I was looking for right in front off me. TFTC
Another great find while in the area for the MEGA.
SL - thanks for the fun cache!

Just arrived in Melbourne for the F1 and was headed to Albert Park. I walked over the bridge to take in the views of Melbourne, I decided this would be my cache of the day and headed to GZ. The gps was bounding due to the area, but as i turned and checked some spots with the satellite I discovered a great container. TFTC melbourne maker
Was searching for a long time here, GPS was so flakey, I gave up looking at it, after that the cache was soon found.
Thanks melbourne maker
Thanks melbourne maker
Nice easy cache. Thanks to previous geocacher "lost 2 found" for the nice little path tag - I haven't seen one of these before. Thanks to melbourne_maker for the cache.
I was very early for the event I am attending so pick up a cache or two. Hi mansgirl... Easy find. Tftc
Arrived at GZ and GPS compass proceeded to go haywire. This way, then that way, back the other way. Changed to map function and just used it to get close. Once in the area the cache was quickly sighted. I'm amazed that something so out in the open has survived. I guess only geocachers walk down here. Thanks melbourne_maker for the cache. A favourite point for being so openly courageous.
Found at 15:24
A quick stop on the way home from work. Very nicely done container.

Another find, yay. We are down in Melbourne for an enjoyable day at Galactic Circus playing game and so forth. So on the way out we decided to grab a few. Great cache one of our favourites. TFTC
Up early and out before the sun was up to explore the area south of the river. 4th or 5th find this morning. The rain had held off. At GZ I wandered around where the cache could be - left or right. Too many options but as I turned around there it was - staring at me!

Second of two lunchtime-a-wandering finds south of the city today.
Waited for a lone muggle to leave the lane before searching. Area was playing havoc with my phone, best I could get was 30m accuracy, but looking at the map image could assume which side it should be on, and found it in seconds .
Interesting container! Signed the log, thanks for the cache, melbourne_maker.

I was out caching with Hawley3 today, using the public holiday as an opportunity to grab some of the caches in and around the city. This one has been on my hit list for a little while but I just never have time to stop near this location. Today we drove right to GZ and 'parked' while we searched. It only took a few minutes to find (which was good because it seemed like it could have been a lot harder than it was!). Cool container too... looks almost like it's been 3D printed? Thanks for the cache, melbourne_maker!

Love the 3D printed geocache. Co-ordinates slightly off - I was looking in sort of the wrong bit until I read some hints. TFTC nonetheless!
This one was quite tricky had to go back through the logs to get a hint tftc
Walked up one side of the lane and started to walk down the other side when voila! Another day filled in on my finds per day of year grid. Tftc!

I'm down in Melbourne for a 5 day training course at the World Trade Centre, so plan on picking up a few caches while I'm here. This was the 1st find for the day and 8th find for the trip.
I was a bit too early for the training course this morning, so I took a walk "out of town" along Clarendon Street to this cache. Wandered down the laneway and started the search. Spent far too much time checking what appeared to be the most likely side of the laneway for the hide to be on. When I finally moved my attention to the other side I soon spotted the cache container and had CIH.
Signed log and replaced as found. A good way to start the working day, with an early morning cache find. Now it's off for some less enjoyable classroom action. TFTC.

Today was my third day in Melbourne. Before I was 3 weeks in Sydney and have visited a friend of mine.
Here I had no problems to find the cache.

I walked down to South Melbourne in my lunch break today and made a quick find here as light rain began to fall. Interesting container too.
Thanks

In town for the Mega Event. Teamed up with gwd.aussie and mezza74 to grab this cache before heading to a nearby breakfast event.
We (GWD.aussie, D@geo, & Mezza74) visited 'walk into town' before a breakfast event near the city.
It is Melbourne Mega event Day. I want to find some different cache types today.
So Traditional cache type was my 3'nd cache type of the day.
So we got up very early and drove from Narre Warren to find this and a few others cache near the event.
Thank you for the hide melbourne_maker

After the Breakfast event we went looking for this cache and drove down the lane from the other way. Good thing there was nobody about. We were sure it was on the old brick wall and got stumped for a while, then Mrs Blue Duck made the find opposite. Original container very cool. TFTC and the hide.
