There was a cricket match in progress this morning, however it didn't matter as I was out of sight of the action. A well picked location and a fitting spot for the container.
Thanks to Hoeinir for the cache.

Found with listmaker today. It took a few minutes but when we found an Anvil Angus pen we knew we were close!
I looked in the right spot at least twice but it wasn't until Alansee looked there that the cache was found, along with a handy pen! Thanks for the cache, Hoeinir.
With the plan in place to find eight caches on the way to Marvellous Melbourne for our 3,000th find today n0w0rries+wife and the Geomutts set out on a rather circuitous route through the south eastern quarter of our great city. With not a great deal of "low hanging fruit" left in this area, we eventually achieved our goals.
Along the way we managed to see the "USS Bonhomme Richard Wasp-class amphibious assault ship", catch up with a fellow cacher - to send some travellers to Ireland, "muggle" an international geocacher in the city, have a lovely feed of fish 'n chips and find a total of nine caches. This was one of those.
A clever hiding place indeed. I just swallowed my fears and went for it.
In Memorium of a true statesman.

Quick lunchtime wander whilst having an all-day meeting nearby. Today snow is promised in the hills and you can feel the ice in the air! Spotted in the likely spot, signed log and took TB. TFTC and for bringing me to place I've often driven past but never stopped at before.
After trying his hand at ninja warrior training at a nearby trampoline facility, I found this little but big enough cache to place a trackable for some treasure.
Nice, quick and easy find - just how the littlest likes it! Now homeward bound and a bite of lunch
Another find by the McPhail family.

Out and about in Malvern, I came to this one after some muggly interference at others. There were only a few dog walkers about and GZ is away from them, so all seemed clear. However, at peak hour afternoon, the traffic was busy, and a train delay made my search harder, as a truck driver was looking at me. I waited him out and then made the find in the likely spot.
Thanks for the cache, Hoeinir.

Found on a one month road trip around Australia. Sorry for the generic log. TNLNSL TFTC
Cache of the day found! Yay! In areas I don't generally like to go, but here for uni commitments. A nice little park and a pretty area of the park thanks for bringing me here!
A nice quiet pocket in a reserve I didn't know existed. I reached in an grabbed the cache, thanks Hoeinir.
Found at 13:21
I was in the area picking up some caches and made a small detour to head across here. The weather wasn't the best but at least it kept the muggles away.
Easily found once at gz and quickly signed and replaced.

Took far too long for a simple find.
Just gotta stick your hand in and trust.

1st cache of school holidays. Hoping to get a few in with Jimmytherat. Nice little park right in the thick of it! Thanks Hoeinir. Early start so still a bit frosty.
TFTC hoeinir. Nice easy first find for the day with the roar of traffic closeby. Jimmytherat with Noelle04.
Nice quick find - must have driven past then one thousands of times on my way to work over the years! No trackable. TFTC and history
Find #2070 logged at GZ at 8:18 pm. Nice destination for a lovely evening walk. T4TC Hoeinir!

When I was a kid I remember Ming making mincemeat out of interjectors and political opponents with his witty responses, and he was a great orator. Things were probably a lot simpler then, but I reckon he would do well in modern politics which seems to be all about bluster and less about getting things done.
The cache was a quick find but might prove challenging for those afraid of snakes, spiders and other hidey hole lurkers.
**Thanks for placing this cache Hoeinir**

A quick find on a sunny afternoon. The park was deserted so no problems searching. Retrieved cache and SL. TFTC
After conducting an inspection in the area, I needed somewhere to sit and write my report. Where better than a park with a cache?! Needless to say, when it came time to stretch my legs after a few hours of concentration, I headed off in the direction of the compass. Thanks for the cache Hoeinir
A short search here and the cache was found. Thanks for putting a name to a park we drive by often, but never really take any notcie of. Thanks for the hide.
Good co-ord's and a little geosense and we quickly located this cache in a park I have never been to before, thanks Hoeinir for the hide and for highlighting this quaint little park.
Grabbing some caches with omegaman1971 today, while in this area.
Thanks Hoeinir for placing & maintaining the cache for us to find.

Looked in the right spot but missed it at first as it blends quite well but came back after looking around and got it
Found 11:56, on the last caching day of the year. Happy New Year to all.
TNLN, thanks Hoeinir.

What a great PM. Better still is the drop of Menzies produced by Yalumba. Get some. Exy but brilliant.
Thanks to Hoeinir and *clear skies* from TeamAstro. Cache the planet!

A nice easy find, don't recall much about Menzies himself but I did sit in his chair in London for some reason that baffles me now
Many thanks Hoeinir from the Wacky one

Another quiet location on Christmas morning.

I snuck away from our nearby family Christmas get together this afternoon to make 2 finds. This was the first and commonsense determined where your cache was hidden. Took the tb in the cache.
Thanks Hoeinir
Thanks Hoeinir
Found it! I had no data on my phone so I had to just look around for a bit. Luckily it was a nice easy hiding spot. Tftc
Perfect place for a cache. Beautiful weather and kids out playing cricket. We left a trackable. Merry Geocachemas
Found with Lochb and Quiet1_au. This was the last cache found for the afternoon. I found this one without too much trouble. Thanks Hoeinir

Final cache for us today. A find for G. Here in the company of GJMMelb and quiet1_au. TFTC
One last cache for the day for lochb, G; of GJMMelb and I. We were glad to see the cache was nowhere near the men in white and no other muggles about so we had no problems quickly searching for the cache in peace. After we checked a few likely hiding places G' made the discovery and logged our visit. TFTC
In the area thought I would check to see if there where any caches. Found this one, quick stop off and another one on the bag.
A quick detour on my way home found me here and then I strolled over and found the cache. It was a nice break from the commuter traffic. Thanks Hoeinir.
Found! 26Nov16 @ 3.30pm; Find #71
This was a neat cache! As others have stated, GZ is just out of sight of the oval (which is brilliant when there is a cricket match being played, as what happened today), and sheltered enough from passing traffic (both on foot and vehicular) that someone can look around for the hidden cache without too much hassle.
Very well hidden and in a container type I hadn't seen before, although admittedly I haven't been at this for very long.
Have passed this way often by car (to avoid the tolls!), and have caught the oval out the corner of my eye as driving past a couple of times, but this is the first time I've ever stopped to take in the sights. Glad that I did
Interesting thing overheard when I was getting back in my car - I was facing Toorak Road and knew it would be difficult turning right from the side street I was on. Alas, another driver was trying to do just that, and had found himself in the middle of the road as no other drivers would allow him access. The vehicle that ended up letting him in was a van; the driver of which was not shy about letting it be known how little he thought of the other driver ("... some drivers really don't know how to drive..."), all whilst van-driver was blocking a Keep Clear area.
I do love irony

Found while staying nearby for the weekend. Cricket was being played on the oval but cache is safely out of the way to avoid being seen. Thanks
In need of a cache to keep my streak (or is that addiction) going it had to be located relatively close to home given that it was a weekday and I was recovering from yesterday's extensive caching expedition.
I had been saving Hoeinir's last hide (to date) for such an occasion.
A quality hide for it being just far enough from the footpath and road to attract attention from commuting muggles and just below the level of oval-using muggles to avoid detection by them provided you don't loiter for too long.
I look forward to further caches put out by this CO. The area could certainly do with a few more hides and I'd like to be able to use the CO in the 10X10 Challenge Cache out in Kilcunda.

Beautiful Park so close to the main road and yet I've never noticed it before! Parked close by and had cache in hand pretty quickly, love those caches that show me a new area that I've passed so many times but never explored! TFTC
The trackable placed in the cache has been removed.
Please log it if you have taken it so we can follow its journey.

It has felt like some time since I had found a cache, so with an itch to scratch I stopped by on the way to work to find this recently hidden cache. A few bugs to shoo away at GZ, otherwise all good. tftc
What better way to relieve the stress of going to the dentist than to find a cache afterwards. I parked in Elizabeth St and wandered down the road to GZ. Even though it was lunchtime there was nobody much around so I was free to search. I checked the most obvious spot and sure enough it contained the cache. I retrieved the cache and signed the log at 12:45 pm. I took the Butterfly Penny TB and left a chess piece. I then returned the cache to where I had found it.
Thanks Hoeinir for the well-hidden cache and for bringing me to this beautiful park, which I have passed tons of times in the car but never stopped to have a squiz at.

I was out an ebay errand for Tarbit so I decided to drop by a few caches on the way home. I actually came to this reserve to watch my son play soccer earlier in the year but of course this cache has been placed since. I parked nearby (though I could have parked closer in hindsight) and strolled towards GZ. Nobody around at this time and I used the torch to check a couple of spots and the cache was soon in hand. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables. Thanks for the cache Hoeinir.

Even though the coords were spot on, I didn't find this right away. Nice spot, thanks!
Find #2675. Found @ 19:30.
These were published while I was away (with work and holiday), so after a visit to my chiropractor, I went for a bit of a longer stroll than normal, then hopped into the car for this one.
I was having some difficulty with my phone app when I got here. Luckily the location was obvious and hide pretty straight forward, so had the container in hand quickly.

I headed out with the kids before dinner via this new one. It was a bit cold which was good because there was only one dog muggle in the whole park.
The kids were too busy with Pokemon so I had a quick search and made the find.
Thanks Hoeinir for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

Coming up to this one from Auburn Rd, we were forced to go all the way up to Glenferrie and turn around—lest we wished to battle the raging traffic going each way. Came up to GZ, after a bit of a search and a stumble the cache was in hand.
A find with a place to hide while filling out logbook. A win/win all round. Didn't bring the swaps container to the find, but geoboy grabbed the little torch, so that was that!
Second to find , how about that ! I didn't even realise when I was planning my cache ride this morning and only noticed when I opened the log book. Nice camo, thanks for the cache

#291 - 3.40pm
Another day, another new cache left unclaimed. Maybe there is a FTF amnesty I'm unaware of...
I finished work wondering where I was going to get my daily 'fix'. I was headed in to Footscray to sign off on the Multi Month Challenge but I'm so far behind in my logs it'll take me a while to formally log it. So I thought I'd best get a find for TODAY.
I couldn't believe this was still unclaimed... so off I went, even though it was nowhere near being 'on the way' to my destination!!
On arrival, the coords were spot on. The cache was well placed and prepared. Being a tragic FTFer, I couldn't resist the YOLO swag (Hahaha) and left a small torch.
This was a fun repeat of yesterday by FTFing a Hoeinir cache. That would make a great Groundhog Day - can we do it again tomorrow?!!
Thanks Hoeinir, for another well prepared cache. Nicely done.
