we couldn’t find it at all we dug around in the bushes nice scenery and animals tho
Did not find for a second time. Have looked at all the pictures and just can’t find it. CO please advise!
Has definately been muggles. I looked all around here the photo clues showed but it’s nowhere to be seen
Took a hard way in and found an easy way out...... previous photo clue helped immensely
Found with Ravi, she is 2for2 today, I need to lift my game. All I did was almost sink into the marshlands
Out with fisherfamfive today for a nice caching trip. I went in with my phone at the ready, following the GPS instructions (which were accurate for once). I saw something that seemed a little out of place, and it turned out to be the cache! TFTC
Cache 4 of 7 that Jackson from CammFamThree and I (Geo-Son) found on a nice Monday morning/early afternoon. This one was in quite a precarious spot, however the find was quickly located and retrieved. Tftc 4bait
GPS was directing me into the water, which I figured wasn't right but a quick look around nearby and we found it!
A little tricky but a fun find! Other kids told miss 9 she was wrong but she showed them! About 6m from GPS point which slowed us down.
Out for our walk and to pick up a few caches and this was the third of six for the afternoon. The GPS initially had us going around and around in circles and there was a number of dead trees down in the vicinity of GZ. Mr Pooky expanded our search area and soon made the find. TFTC and bringing us to this great walking track. TNLN.
My muggle friend and I returned to have another go at this. Managing to find another cache nearby, the light was quickly disappearing and we hurried over to the wetlands area. A couple of ducks and a passing cyclist startled my friend and we found ourselves in the same spot as last time. That spot turned out to be not where we needed to be. Not paying much attention to the GPS, I was trusting my geo senses to lead me to the cache. I saw an area that looked likely, but a slight risk involved with maneuvering around the shrub and not slipping into the lake. I told her to wait behind while I checked it out and sure enough there was the cache.
I wanted to suggest to her to go clockwise around the shrubs to avoid falling, but she was already moving the way I had gone and next thing I know she is on her bum almost in the lake! A lot of laughing as I tried to keep her still and not make the situation any worse. She could not move and the only solution was to pick her up and move her to safety, whilst not slipping myself! Otherwise we'd be crawling out of there. We had a look at the cache and I signed the log and replaced and wondered how the cache was put in there. We walked out the safe way back to the trail and the car.
A very entertaining and embarrassing first caching experience for her. But it was fun! A FP from me. Thanks 4bait!

We found it, great container but we couldn't open it so haven't signed the log.
Just out doing some birthday cacheing with kristys adventures happy birthday Kristy
First find logged (but forgot my pen!) - just around the corner from home. Thanks!
Had a look for this with a muggle friend in the dark after visiting the Power neighbourhood house. Wouldn't have been able to see anything without the Iphone torch and not being familiar with the reserve, made things twice as difficult. No luck unfortunately, thanks anyway.
Nice and easy find.. I tripped over the camo and almost fell into the lake!.. Thanks for the cache all looks to be in order!
A quick find .. it was probably too cold for anyone to be sitting down enjoying the sun so I had the GZ to myself. Thankyou 4bait for placing and maintaining the cache
We walk the path all the time. The kids happen to ask if there is a geocache near here. There happened to be this one, and it was a good easy one to locate, to get us excited about geocaching again
A pleasant little out of the way bush hideaway. Cache readily spotted on approach, sat and contemplated the universe (or possibly my navel) as signed the log in this rather serene location.. thanks..!!
Finally found it! Great hide. TFTC!!
Just a note though - the plastic baggie for the notebook is now torn in places, so the notebook may get wet once the weather gets drizzly

Bit too dry for frogs today I think and in fact the whole area was surprisingly quiet today. Thanks for bringing me here, a great walk in a beautiful area.
A frog was nestled in at GZ; rain a few days back but more needed to make them happy. TFTC
Such a lovely reserve. As we approached GZ, we spied an unusual looking item. Yep, it was the cache. Signed log and went back on our stroll around this lovely reserve. TFTC 4bait.

F(H)ound it! #3041 @12:25 PM
I am down from Queanbeyan NSW, visiting the out-laws for a week or so.
The SisterOutlaw and Muggle Father Outlaw joined me and the Ridgeopup for a nice long walk along the creek from Warrigal Road to Station Street. We scored 19 caches and the RP clocked up a few off-lead miles.
Nice camo, that’ll keep the contents in good nick.
Thanks for the cache 4bait

Find #2 for the day, walking a stretch of Gardiners Creek trail, with some family and 2 geohounds. ZimbaW made the find after I pointed in the right direction. Thinking this park would be a good location for a CITO. Enjoyed the cache - the extra effort is always appreciated!
Nice container -- the first of this size and type I've seen! Thank you for the nice cache -- enjoying the walk along Gardiner's Creek trail.
A nice quick one for amaali he found this one very quickly and I just tagged along. Thank you 4bait a great cache.

First find for getting back into the game after around 10 years. Very cool, much more creative than I remember the old geocaches being!
A tad hot but zeroing in on a few caches makes being in Melbourne attractive! Having said that, there is fam and friends and today’s project was looking at cars Poems fun, exploring great and all finds relatively straightforward. TFTC
Number 5 along the trail, found on 10 Jan 18. Cords were accurate and quickly took me to GZ. Once in the general area the hide was quickly identified. TFTC 4bait.
A beautiful afternoon for a Melbourne summer so geokids and I decided to go out for some treasure hunting. I decided we should go after some of the caches along Gardners Creek Trail.
Was right in front of my eyes and I walked right past it. Shame on me as I have seen a number of these in my new founded geocaching journey. The geokids loved it, the younger did a couple of swaps.

Suscoe was enjoying an afternoon in the east of Melbourne today.
After a little drop of rain around lunch time the afternoon was mild, sunny and quite pleasant really.
This was a good area for getting around today as the traffic was quiet.
Thanks to 4bait for this hide, we took the TB to move on further south.
A nice quiet spot.

This is very clever camo. I searched around but did not realise I had seen the cache until I was about ready to give up. I had a think and then Aha!
Quick, easy find. Great little spot and awesome cameo. TN left bouncy ball, stamp and travel bug.
Oh oh that is a very clever camouflage. Not a hard find the GPS had us bouncing all over the place. TFTC
This was intended to be my first and only find for the day but i approached from the wrong side of the river. tftc
It took some circling, but I eventually found something that looked weird. An amazing container, when I get around to placing some cache of my own I may have to steal that idea! Thanks for bringing me to this beautiful little spot
