Unfortunately, I am unable to fix this cache and due to personal circumstances have to archive. Thank you to everyone who enjoyed this one

Any chance this one is coming back soon

Will need some specialist tools to fix this one, unfortunately it has dropped quite badly. Will be fixed in the next 2 weeks

Ah dear, looks like this is out of action and required a bit more maintenance that I thought! Waiting on a part to arrive- will keep posted, it will be back!

Have heard this has some issues- will fix it within the next week or will disable if it needs some more tlc

Found the cache but could not retrieve so log wasn’t signed.

Cache has been temporarily disabled, will fix it this week

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

Could see cache and it is jammed and the chain is tangled and helping it even more be jammed in its place....I could have used my tools to extract the log and sign my name but that would have been selfish to the next person to try to find it.
I needs to be fixed ......

A nice hide to find for today’s souvenir! Happy New Year!
Thankyou april78592 for placing this cache here for us to find.

Our second find for 2018. All quiet near GZ and a quick search located the container. TFTC

Found with OzHockeyChick. Our mission was to get the souvenir on offer today. This was the 1st stop. I quickly made the find. I wonder if it is as it should be. There is potential to lose it if not. Put it back safely and hope that it stays nicely. Tftc

First find for 2018! Have looked for this before, but found it pretty quickly this time, after being momentarily distracted by a nearby object which would have also made for an interesting hide. TFTC

Found it

This was a tricky one.With muggles in the playground we had to look really inconspicuous and so we did as we did a quick search of the area. GPS finally settled on one area and there we found our goal. Thanks for the cache.

As I'm now 3 months behind in my logging I am desperately trying to catch up and am mass logging to do so.

In the Melbourne CBD for almost 2 weeks for training for work and naturally I grabbed some caches
Some were lunch time walks and some were night time drives.
It took me quite a while to get used to the behaviour of the GPSr in this city
Took me even longer to get used to those 'hook turns' [?]

Tonight I headed out to give a hand to kmace as she needed a role player and I'm up for that!
Afterwards we set out for a caching run and I made 8 finds and had 1 DNF, so all in all a good night
My thanks to all the CO's who showed me some great spots around Melbourne and for the fun caches [^][:X]

Found today on an adventure with locus cache after doing some role plays - you will be remembered! This was the first one and had us barking up the wrong tree before the very clever cache was found (not by me!).

Signed log and returned it to its hide. I decided to give this a favourite for its ingenuity. Thanks for the cache.

Found on 10 Dec 2017 at 11:28 am.
It was such a nice day that we headed out to play some mini golf and stopped at a couple of caches on the way.
Parked in the side street and as I got out of the car the kids were already in the playround and then I checked somewhere and found the cache in the first place I looked. Nice construction.
Thanks april78592 for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

Good to go again. If you have an issue putting the cache back, please contact me. Nothing needs to have excessive force. Happy hunting!

Just waiting on a part, will replace by 1/12/17

A fellow cacher has informed me that something has happened where they can't physically sign the log. Will check it out and replace if necessary in the next day

That was a quick drive by thanks

Found it after my compass settled down. TFTC. Nice hide.

A quick drive by today TFTC

Found it

Great hide, very well made, thanks for placing the cache!

#1241 - 11.25pm
Tonight, I had a great dinner at a local Chinese restaurant with Mrs Welder. We were so immersed in conversation that we lost track of time.
Eventually, I snuck a peek at my phone....
Oh sugar!!!!
We were late to pick up ARealTool and take him to work!
Fortunately, we'd already paid. We dashed from the table and headed out into the brisk night air towards the WelderMobile. It seems we caught the restaurant manager by surprise too, as he rapidly chased us down the street with our 'take home' provisions, hahaha!
We raced home where Mrs W and ARealTool swapped places and on towards his work where we made it just on time... phew.
So there I was, with less than an hour remaining in the day thinking about how I was yet to sign a log.
And that was how I came to be here, lol.
Parking is a bit of a challenge but this hour I felt comfortable taking a slight liberty. My geo-senses were firing tonight and they located the cache immediately. I attribute that to the night and the full moon, as I always perform better at night!
But still, there was a catch.
The neighbour across the road was outside working on something. I had to be really careful not to use a light when signing the log.
In, out, done!

Thanks, april78592, for a wonderfully prepared first cache.
It was a pleasure to visit.
Well played.

Good to go!

Have received a message from a fellow cacher that the coordinates are a bit off and it needs some TLC. Will fix in the coming days

With a little help.....and some extra tools we got it....TFTC

Beyond us today - had a pretty good look, but getting dark now.

First cache of the day! Nice little park. Thanks for the hide April!

No luck

I was unlucky not to share a joint fist to find on this cache as I was at GZ with others but had to pull the pin on the search early. Having returned I could have sworn I checked GZ but perhaps without enough rigour - Once I had, perhaps indiscreetly, made the find, ahomburg appeared to share the spoils. tftc

Find #8693

After doing some caching in croydon I was heading home but had a couple more to stop at. This was made a little easier by 8th knox who was at GZ and had just found the cache.

Many thanks to april78592 for the cache. TNLN.

(FTF) a joint FTF. After the emails first thing this morning, I jumped out of bed threw on some clothes and ran out the door. The whole time driving here thinking who could be closer and be there before me. Yes! I was not the first to arrive. Gee you guys can move fast on these FTF finds WOW!! After a very long look every where and then everywhere again. We were about to give up when Atsmug just touch a thing without really thinking about it and found it. Haha well done

(FTF) a joint FTF.
omegaman1971@ 2870 finds
Just on my way out to meet a geo pal for a day of caching when the notification came through. Couldn't resist a cache 2km from home.
I was first to arrive at Gz but was quickly joined by others.
After much searching with no luck and some others leaving,
Atsmug made the discovery.
Cheers for the cache

Joint ftf fltf

I came back here with fresh eyes and still couldnt find it....I did notice that it was 2.5 stars difficulty or is it just me...I even thought mmm if I hid something here what would it be!! I will be back-I need time to re-think.

joint *ftf* , Solving a few puzzles during the week I planned a bike ride today along the dandenong creek to grab one of them and some other caches. As I was about to leave home a few new caches popped up and this one wasn't too much of a detour. Arriving at GZ there were a couple of other cachers who had been searching without success. I joined omegaman and jentrek in the search and after 10 minutes we were about to call it and wait to see if The Welder would turn up later and claim it. However whilst chatting near a "thing" we had searched earlier, I used a bit of extra "thing" and the cache was surprisingly uncovered. Thanks for the new cache a new FTF area for me and another month to my ftf streak
