I have a one night layover in Melbourne on my way to Auckland so I decided to go and grab some caches! TFTC
We couldn't go closer. Biwer original sends Greetings fromm Germany and thanks for the Cache.
Melbourne to see Pearl Jam. Taking the opportunity to see some sights, walking around, completing some adventure labs and finding some geocaches with legend. Visited the LUME for the Leonardo da Vinci exhibition and then caught the tram back into this area to hunt down a few caches this afternoon
Really beautiful view from this bridge. I enjoyed the momentThanks for showing at the first day in Melbourne Many greetings Elfenzauber from Germany
In Melbourne for 2 nights stopover on our way to Tasmania from NZ. After coffee I wandered down here to do this virtual. Stunning day today
Found with Zouave after initially going down to the wrong level and then having to come back up again. I'm having a bit of a confused day. TFTC!
Been a long time since I have pedaled over this bridge. Still looks pretty much the same 30 years on. Picture of Essie enjoying the view added to the log.
Auf unserer groen Rundreise durch Australien war Melbourne nach Perth unsere zweite Station. Unser Hotel lag ganz in der Nhe der Princes Bridge. Gleich an unserem ersten Abend bummelten wir am Ufer des Yarra Rivers entlang, suchten den Standort dieses Virtual-Caches auf und machten ein Foto. Eine wirklich faszinierende Gegend hier, besonders auch abends bei der schnen Beleuchtung.Anschlieend besuchten wir noch das interessante Street Art Viertel. Thank you for the cache. We really like Melbourne and enjoyed our trip through Australia.
Melbourne Day 1 - Exploring the city center First of the day and first in VictoriaTftc ! Greetings from France
We are now in and around Melbourne on our trip. We admire the city, its great buildings, enjoy the parks and the Yarra and let ourselves be guided by the many containers and lab caches. This way we once again come to places and locations that we would not have been able to get to without caching. Many thanks to the owners and greetings from the Moorhelmi
Thanks for the virtual, nice and easy one to log off the list exploring the CBD.
Thanks for the cache, lovely views and number 2 of my Melbourne caches.
I flew into Melbourne today for a week of work, but has a pleasant Sunday afternoon to go caching...although most were Ad Lab stages, there was a smattering of trads, unknowns, letterboxes and virtuals as well. The pubs were full but I managed to get a few drinks in along the way - how can one not, when following part of the Melbourne Historic Pubs Ad Lab. All up Strava told me I walked 15kms, but that dwarfed into insignificance compared to the many people walking the streets with Melbourne marathon finisher medals. TFTC to all COs
Today I visited this interesting place and made the virtual cache in one.Thanks for showing this beautiful view Bigfours
Super easy cache to log, not sure what the empty popper/juice box rubbish sculpture in the corner was about.Tftc
Found with Noo82 whilst exploring Melbourne. Appreciate the quick and easy virtual caches!
One day in Melbourne. We walked around and passed this amazing spot. Thanks for the cache
While Melbourne is certainly beautiful and the cache requirements are simple, we couldn't quite get them. Both times we were there, there were homeless people in every "inlet" on the bridge so we couldn't get a picture of the coat of arms. We took a picture a bit further.
A short stop on our way to a river cruise this morning. Melbourne has put on a stunning day for us!
On a walk around the city. What a massive city centre coming from Christchurch! Cache found at 12:51 Friday, 27th September. Cache number 391, TFTC!
The Geokiddos and I went into the city today to have a look around during the school holidays. This was the last one we did before getting back on the train to head home.
Walked the south and north sides - back and forth probably 4 times. So many great views along the river. Tried to figure out the Latin on the lamp, but gave up and just took the picture with my hat on the post. TFTC
I crossed this bridge several times as I traveled between my hotel near the CBD and the parks and botanic garden to the south. I grabbed this virtual one evening. I think the view is better at night. 
TFTvC!
TFTvC!Big thanks to gmj3191 for placing this cache! Your effort brought an extra spark of excitement to our geocaching quest.

After spending the earlier part of the day with the non cacher, Mrs db, in the Botanic Garden, she's now resting up, but I wanted to visit Hosier Street. This done I collected a view virtuals and AL points on my way back. Thanks for placing.
For some reason cgeo keeps changing log to a dnf. Will sort out on laptop when home next month.After spending the earlier part of the day with the non cacher, Mrs db, in the Botanic Garden, she's now resting up, but I wanted to visit Hosier Street.

Nice quick visit to Melbourne but took some time to grab a few caches. Nice area for a stroll and to people watch.
Strolling around the city in the beautiful sunshine that I brought over from Canada this week. Beautiful sunshine and warm temperatures in the sun!Thanks for bringing me here. Got a chance to see some 4s and 8s rowing the river as a bonus!
Bisoutje and I are on a roadtrip with a campervan between Cairns and Adelaide and have now touched ground at Melbourne.We were not too shy to take a picture with the heraldry presented here. Great views from here. Tomorrow we will be back to explore the southern side of the river.TFTC!
Mr Tardis was in Melbourne for work for a few days, and I managed to have a nice riverside walk to this one. Thanks for the virtual cache gmj3191.
A lovely visit into the city to catch up with a friend from long ago. I love trips into the city but they are few and far between. This time was full of amazing information provided by a number of caches visited prior to my dinner. Now I have another reason yogrt back into the city.
Visiting Melbourne and looking for some caches of course. Found the place. Thanks for the cache
We looked out towards the Art Centre. On a tikki tour walk now, getting our bearings. Thanks
Have walked past the coat of arms so many times and never taken any notice. Thanks for pointing them out
Today was the final day visiting Melb with da Bush Girl and we did some exploring of the city and many of it's iconic sites before heading back home. We had a great time and can't wait to see it again next year. TFTC
I was down in this area completing an adventure lab so I stopped and took the required photo. Thanks for bone to this lovely spot and thanks for the virtual cache.

Spent the afternoon of our second day in Melbourne doing a little more caching. Three and a half hours of walking around the city resulted in ten more finds.

In Melbourne with chychu... Just walked past Flinders Street Station and discovered this Virtual... TFTC!
In the city today to watch my son sing at Fed Square. Decided to make my way in nice and early so that I was under no time-pressure, which also gave me some time to find a few caches along the route from Crown to Fed Square. What a lovely Autumn day for a leisurely wander!! Thanks for this cache G!
Did this on a lovely clear afternoon. Melbourne was being absolutely Marvelous (no rain and not too cold). Logging on a dot day. Thanks for the virtual cache.
Couldn't take it from the exact co-ords as there was a homeless person sitting in the way, so went to the next one along. Thanks for placing
I swung past this one the week before Easter as part of a really enjoyable explore and cache hunt along the Yarra River and South Bank. The whole area has developed so much in the (many) years I have been visiting and now there is always something new and exciting to see and enjoy. Having said that, the simple pleasure of watching river traffic pass by still enchants me, so it is a given that I took and shared a couple of photos from the bridge. Marvellous Melbourne is find number 3,387 for me. A fun virtual sized virtual cache I enjoyed finding as one of my caching adventures in City Of Melbourne. Unless otherwise mentioned above, I found the coordinates to be accurate, the cache in good condition and the log dry and with plenty of room to sign. I am logging this one on Monday 8 Apr 2024 at 7:37 am and the weather is Scattered Clouds 11C 76% 2 m/s . Thanks for placing this cache for the rest of us to enjoy gmj3191.*Found with [Geooh GO](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobiltal.geoohGO)*
Doing a bit of wandering before I head home today. Melbourne's been an awesome trip and I definitely have tonplan dome more caching time when I come here next
On a wet Sunday morning we headed off to find some Melbourne caches before our tour of Polly Woodside. This was perfect - nice and quick. We are staying at the Mercure so not too far away for us at all. TFTC. The chikins from Brisbane
