GPS was jumping around all over the place but we eventually found this little cache. Found with teal.samson12. TFTC.
It was tricky and a little tough. Just when we thought we had seen enough, there it was tucked away. It’s ready for another Geochacher to find in this inner city hideaway.
Thanks for the great search and rescue!

I have tried to find this cache on so many occasions but constantly had muggle issues. Here for a medical appointment during the restrictions I was finally able to find the cache! Thanks for placing the cache b l u e s t o n e s.
TFTC.
Clue and picture were a great help.
Cute cache, log suffered some water damage. Needs a new log. Had not paper to replace.

Found after a brief search around GZ and the GPS jumping all over the place. All in good condition. TFTC
Found it within 5 seconds. Nice little area to visit on a sunny day. Great quick find after work!
Out for a drive, we passed by this little walk through park. It took far too long as muggles were sitting nearby, so I used a PAF to confirm GZ. Thanks

Had the right idea but started in the wrong place! Once we tried a different spot (GPS was freaking out) we found it! Great hide 
This is a nice quiet courtyard. I made the mistake of first arriving during lunch hour. Well done me. Found the hide, but the log was so well buried inside i drew blood attempting a withdrawal, so went away for a bit..
When i came back, a cacher and muggle were already on the hunt, so i helped things along and with some discretion and diy tott, we had the log in hand and signing away.
A pleasant conversation ensued, and then i was on my botanical way.
Thanks for showing me this tranquil city oasis with a geocache!
Found yesterday early afternoon.

What a great camouflage! Happy last day of the year tftc in a nice Oasis in the city.
I must confess that this is the second time I've attempted to find this cache having visited this location a few years ago. It took a while this time around too but previous logs and the hint got me there in the end. tftc
Saturday night heading home after birthday at a bar - thought we’d try a sneaky cache on our way. The logs were right - satellite map helped determine the spot. Cheers for the exhilarating nighttime cache.
After birthday drinks nearby, we decided to do a quick one on the way to the station... wasn't easy, as it was very dark, but with flash lights and some determination, we found this bad boy! Fun end to a great night out with my girl.
Tftc bluestones!
Tftc bluestones!
Definitely needed the satallite version of maps here. Quick find once I picked the right bench. Luckily not many muggles around, but they do appear quickly and from nowhere! Tftc
In Melbourne for an extended weekend to see a show and do some caching.
This was starting to be a frustrating search, as the GPS was useless. Two words - satellite map!

Interesting day to be caching. Found this one just before the downpour. Good clue, quickish find - a little surprised given the muggling of nearby caches. TFTC Bluestones
Well it was getting frustrated there for a minute cos it's 5 to 12 and everyone's about to walk out for lunch full stop persistence paid and thanks for the Cache
I’ve been to stop by here for ages. Finally the weather was nice and I was in the area for work. Log quickly and stealthily retrieved and signed. TFTC
Found it. The first one I’ve tried. Left small man inside to protect it don’t steal it.
A quiet Sunday afternoon in between dog walkers and a few other muggles. What's with the old school mega security camera (facing the other direction)
My first attempt at a geocache and I found it... Also lucky enough to be the first name on the second log sheet. As I live literally next door to this one I'll pop down occasionally and make sure it's all good.
On a ride today to the city, I returned via this one and some others in the area. What a wonderful courtyard/garden in the middle of this development!
I followed the hint and soon had the cache in hand.
Thanks for the cache.

Found and signed. The hint is very helpful and it is obvious where it is. But even then it blends in and is hard to find . Thanks for the cache!
. Thanks for the cache!The lawn in this small park is made of plastic and it looks terrible!
When I first passed through the park there were children playing on the lawn.
I returned half an hour later to find the area deserted.
The cache was easily spotted.

ONE muggle in the whole place and he was right where the cache was. D’Oh!
Patience (and the helpful clue) was what was needed.
TFTC - love your work

A last morning on a business trip to Melbourne. Similarly to other mornings during the trip, I started the day by running around few caches. This time I had a bit more time, thus few caches more compared to the other mornings.
From the Fawkner Park I headed towards the caches in South Yarra. There was pretty much no way to do the logging in peace, so I tried to employ as much stealthy diversions as possible. TFTC!

Visiting Melbourne as Geokid1 was competing the the Swimming Australia Short Course Champs. No time to cache untill the meet finished which was this evening.
So on way to dinner we stopped by to have a go. A few muggles going for dinner at the Como. So left and came back after we had our feed and came back for a quick find.
Was a little difficult getting log out due to fat fingers and no tool . But persistence counts and all done. TFTC and back to Canberra tomorrow.

I had failed to find this one a few years ago, so was pleased to be able to find it today. Harder than it looks - even once I found it and extracted the log, I had trouble locating it again! Great little hidden park here. TFTC!
I took some time before work (early!) to jump on the train down to Sth Yarra for some questing. After a cappuccino and a fancy h & c I walked around to find this one. Lovely spot. TFTC.
Had around 4 hours up my sleeve before getting onto a bus to the nights activities. Starting walking around finding geocaches. A windy day with the sun out TFTH
Find #907 in Australia. Had to wait for a few muggles to clear and then I zoned in, searched for a bit, and made the find.
I've been working in a building overlooking this oasis for 4 months now, and can vouch for how busy it gets at lunchtimes on weekdays. Having read the hints and logs, I found it quite quickly. Watch out for dog walkers letting their dogs use the plastic lawn as if it was real!
I was in Melbourne for a sporting event and took some time off to visit this area and grab some caches with SmudgeyCat. We had finished dinner just around the corner and then headed up here to look for the cache. Yes the gps was bouncing everywhere. I read the hint and was walking up and down and behind, looking at everything that matched. A very tricky hide. Then it was back to the car quickly, as a cold wind was whistling through. Found with SmudgeyCat GW. TFTH 
Easy to find the area but hard to search in detail for the cache with muggles about. Might be worth sitting down and looking around...
Second visit. I can not believed I missed it the first time, but, at the same time, it is very well camoflagued and difficult to spot.
I know where I would hide it but no go. The gps is useless, I will have to return
Found while visiting Melbourne for work for a few days. Funny to see feathertop and featherwaite's names consecutively in the logsheet! Thanks for the cache bluestones!
Today I did my work in South Yarra without a car so it made sense to come here and try my luck.
Couldn't get the GPS to under 20m but the clue meant I needed to concentrate on one area alone and there it was.
Nice name and construction of this cache.
All quiet here on a sunny morning
thanks bluestone

Impressive place.
Parking is a premium though!
Found the cache just swinging in the breeze and buildings bouncing the satellite signals around a bit.
All good fun!

12:25 - New to this adventure after learning about geo caching on my recent trip to Vietnam. Excited that I found my first cache close to where I live.
I found a nearby cache that was large enough to hold a Canadian TB that I had kept for way too long and then decided I had enough time before it got dark to look for this cache. This was another cache that I had been meaning to find for a very long time but I always seem to be hurrying down Toorak Rd with no time to stop. I thought about finding this cache some time ago but couldn't find a parking spot anywhere within a reasonable distance of the cache that day. 
Today I managed to find a parking spot a couple of streets away. There were a couple of muggle dog walkers on the open space, one of whom chatted to me as I arrived and while his canine sniffed me as it could probably smell my beagles....well I hope that's what it was. [8)] Luckily there was nobody near GZ. The co-ords on my GPSr jumped around a fair bit so I took a squiz at the hint. This limited my search so I found the cache quickly between intermittent muggles walking along the path between Chapel and River Streets. I removed the log and signed it at 5:20 pm. TNLN. I then put the log back in the container and made sure the cache was out of muggle sight.
Thanks bluestones for the great hide in such a high muggle location. Even though I've been to the Como Centre several times I didn't know that this peaceful open space behind it was here for all the locals to enjoy so thanks for showing it to me.
