Tftc, nice quick find being in the area for a little while thought I would grab some smilies.
After walking around at Knox Festival the last 12 hours, really happy for a quick find on the leap day. Great cache. Appropriately named. Thanks.
I've lost count of the times I have driven past this cache and not made the effort to stop for a look. After a weekend at the Mega I decided to stop on my way home. Not the easiest GZ to walk to, bit a nice quick find here. Logs has seen better days though. TFTC
No one around, and geodad could make the find uninterrupted. With this cache we completed our Mystery at the Museum. Thanks bluestones!!!
On the way home from lunch with the in-law and the little geokid insisted on geocaching. Typical Melbourne weather at this time of year, cold and wet so I parked as close as possible to the cache. The cache was easily spotted. Little geokid insisted on placing a swap inside the cache. Hardly enough room but he managed to squeeze it in. Log signed and replaced.

My 7 yr old daughter found this before I even had a chance to look. Great cache!!
We found this little chap on the ground, it has definitely lost some of its staying power. We signed the log and replaced it where (hopefully) it will remain hidden, waiting for the next cacher to discover it.
Out with BoabTree, we parked close by despite the busy road. A quick find as it was on the ground. A great cache, thanks b l u e s t o n e s

Managed a park close to GZ. On approach we could see cache out in the open. It was intact and log was signed. We located at the same site but a bit more secure.
Thanks bluestones for putting this cache out there.

Found.it on a caching adventure with non-caching Geo-Nephew. Quick easy find with a little ‘help’ from his older cousins.

The second of 6 caches on a night run driven by Miss Learner getting her hours up.
Liked these landmarks! Scouted back and forth. Eventually found the cache on the ground. Nice one! Replaced in a better spot.

I have driven past this spot so many times in the last few weeks but I was always time poor. Todays schedule is much easier so a quick stop was in order to find this cache and turn it from green to yellow. TNLNSL. TFTC. Kkams
Find #3816. Found @ 23:29
After some business made me leave the house after dinner, I decided to kick on and find a cache or several. This was an area that I'd not cached in for a while, so a far build-up of unfounds existed.
This was the last for the area, and as I pulled off the road to locate some place to stop, a security dude turned on his car headlights to spotlight me. Apparently this is private property and there has been many instances of Pokemon Go players trespassing and having the police called.
I was up front and explained what I was doing there, and showed my the GPSr. He asked how long I was going to be and watched me search. I showed him a photo of the cache (as he was not allowed to leave the car), and I said I would mention that it was on private land.
Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables.

When we and my bro were 13 and 12 we convinced our father to walk with us from our home in springvale to kalaroma dandenong ranges. It was a experience we have never forgotten so now from our new home base in Canberra we travel to melbourne every few years to redo the walk. It never disappoints. Ah after all these years the Caribbean gardens and the large pirate holding the treasure chest are still there. Voted tftc.
Found while out matching pairs. I found it on the ground but after signing put it back somewhere appropriate. Excellent tie in to the movie! Tftc
The log is now full but the back could still be used if needed. Very nearly overlooked this one and is definately exposed. Love the camo on the container is a awesome hide
Logging on my Geomums account right now! Found this one quickly after basketball. Very clever hide but it’s hidden in plain sight so beware! TFTC!
The last (but not least!) of four finds as I meandered my way home from visiting mum for a slightly delayed Mother's Day visit tonight.
I'm a sucker for any pirate-themed cache so it makes it all the more weird that I've not searched for this one before tonight, especially as I drive past here at least every couple of weeks.
(I still have fond memories of coming to the market here with my parents as a kid, back in the late 70s/early 80s, and of trying to peer through the portholes on the concrete submarine that used to be moored on the lake (which never went underwater, or even moved, but like Fox Mulder, I Wanted To Believe, oh yes...), the rather sad looking monkeys in the dome cages, going on a rare jungle cruise, eating slightly soggy chips, etc. I really should go back one day, but it's been a good 25 years and perhaps some things are best left in the past...)
But back to the cache! And into character! Arr! Piratical treasure goodness to be found, with no need for keelhauling or making anyone kiss the gunner's daughter! (Look it up, kids...!)
After bringing me automotive jolly boat (the good ship 'Saucy Manatee') to anchor off the leeward side of the island, and with no other swabs on-board for the cruise, it was a scurvy crew of one (Cap'n C Madman, at your service) that waded ashore and commenced to search where 'X' marked the spot. Unlike that time I ran into trouble a-huntin' for the glint of Spanish gold off Tortuga, it were the work of just moments a'fore something caught my eye, and I had the not-so-elusive treasure in hand. Extra rations of rum all round!
With me mark added to the ship's log the treasure were deposited back where it belonged, no doubt to be found by more freebooters, scallywags and adventurers to come. Thanks be to the Dread Pirate b l u e s t o n e s, for placing this cunningly-fashioned treasure.

TFTCA quick find today .. i was standing there wondering where to look and i spied the treasure TFTC
What better thing to do after spending time at the Carribbean Market.... Then to go geocaching. Neat clever little find. TFTC.
I was early for work and so I thought Id grab some caches while heading down FTG road. I love this area of the world it holds lots of great memories - thanks for bringing me here and tftc!
I've lost count of the times I've past this location. But today felt like I was at sea with gusts of wind bringing horizontal rain. Cache was soon spotted so I could return to my vessel.

Found it! And the cache hunt continues! I’m sure the seedlings have expired yet. As I walked around GZ I did a double take and found the cache. TFTC SL Nice container! TFTC SL
Really super clever cache. Nice and simple but I love a hidden in plain site hide. Awesome. Cheers.
Je profite de ce beau dimanche pour attaquer le défi des 1000 marches du mémorial de KOKODA et en profite pour loguer quelques caches sur mon passage
The geo kids and I had planned to make a journey to the area today to help at the local CITO and grab a few caches while around too. We had a small amount of time after the event and this one was a quick stop before continuing home. The geo kids loved climbing while I found the cache very quickly. Signed and returned as found.

# 5254**A pleasant afternoon for caching. A good and quick find. The cache is in good order. TFTC TNLN SL. Thanks bluestones for bringing me here.
It was a very cold and blustery day and no one was about, excellent. It was a quick find but an excellent hide. Like your style bluestones. Thanks for the cache.
Very cute too, thanks b l u e s t o n e s. Three out of three in one day. Thanks a lot.
First try at Geocaching and couldn't find it pretty sure we were in the right spot
Checked container following the last log.
Cache is in place & log is intact. We are still rockin n rollin
