Found It!
A cricket match happening here today but I found the cache without any problems. But it's not really hidden at all, is that how it's suppose to be?
TFTC

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

Discovery of another beautiful area of Melbourne. Never been down this area before very impressed. Cache is in excellent condition. Nice easy find thanks for bringing me here

I walked around trying to work out the hint and stood on the black bit of the cache in the middle of some gravel. It’s the first time a cache has found me rather than me find it. Given the cache name, I imagine I was looking for an outer container but I didn’t see it anywhere. I have put the black section next to a green drain down pipe on the cricket building but it is in noticeable but the CO should go and check.

First runs on the board! Now time to start my new hobby of geocaching!

Found it!

Started to look in the wrong place, it started to drizzle a bit so I went back to my car. Stopped a few minutes later and this time I found it straight away. Nice hide. TFTC

This cache rocks!!

We were out walking two pooched that belonged to my son. It was not my intention to geocache today as it was Fathers' Day. We were about 3 Km from home and geocaching was mentioned. Of course i thought i would check to see if there was one close by. Yes there was. This one.
No pen! I asked several nearby people without success - so a photo log had been sent. On my next visit over this way i will sign in properly.
TFTC Swanusguy

We did

Found it My first one ever!

Day 3 of the streak. Picked the nearest trad to home. Easy find using the well written cache page. Tftc

Nice and easy

Good place for a coffee on Sundays as well (during soccer season)

Day #100 of my streak! I didn’t think I’d get this far, but here I am, and it seems quite easy in retrospect. I was a bit worried as the previous log was a DNF, but when mentioning this to OHC, I was told “previous cacher-zero finds-you’ll be right - sick em Rex.” (or words to that effect)
So now onward to the next target , 366 streak ! Lots of goood adventures ahead

Thanks Swanusguy for Rocky the Rocky Rock

Couldn't find it today, but I will be back

Found @10:50 with little trouble. A pleasant drive through lovely Ivanhoe. There are only 3 spots left on the log book and I didn’t have anything quite the right size to replace. TFTC!

All good at GZ. Bird calls in abundance and a few dog walkers. TFTC

Out tonight with Bunadoorian - trying to keep the current streak going. It is harder finding a cache that bunadoorian hasn't found near home - but I stumbled on this one. So we weren't out in the cold for too long I thought this might be the cache for us. Bunadoorian found it before I had worked out how to cross the drain. TFTC Swanusguy

Lunarcy I said, to go out on this cold wet winters night. But Grub62 was insistent. So out we went on this cold wet winters night partially lit by the full moon. When we arrived in the vicinity of GZ I found the least desirable route to the cache. Rocky the Rocky rock was found in good condition and as per the description. TFTC.

21:31
A morning tea at the 'G' to celebrate a whole lot of blood donation milestones meant a Myki in my pocket. That was too good an opportunity to waste, even if household chores meant it was dark o'clock when I headed out the door and hopped onto the bike.

Three stops for happy snaps including a wait to show up on a traffic cam later, and I was at last able to make bank on a few of the jigsaw puzzles I've done.

Then the fun part: getting to a station. Some severe rainstorms has swept through the area around the river, so the trails on the north side were a bit mucky. But I managed to pick my way past the golf course to this familiar exit point... and a bonus Geocache.

Swanusguy, thanks for the smiley. A neat little hide.

Second find today!!!

YAPIDKA! Respite from rain as I wander the ‘burbs’ of Melbourne for mums day weekend TFTC

A fast find in a muggle paradise. Tftc

Nicely hidden in plain view!
All good
Thanks

On a ride along the Yarra and just had a swing then a cache

Quiet midweek find in a lovely park . TFTC

Thanks, great hiding

I *was* going to have a quiet read in the parking area off the Boulevard, but noticed this was not very far away, and the walk was good for me! Some school sports going on, but nobody near the cache. Nice container. Thanks for putting it there.

Found it with the girl of the world

It was the end of a long caching day and there was one more green dot. But it was quite a walk away. Would I walk another 1.3kms or not. The hunt for the cache won and I made the trek. I was very pleased to see Rocky and even more pleased to head for home.

GPS going haywire tonight but still found the goods!

Woot woot

Let’s go

TFTC. We Come down to this park a lot to see my boys play cricket, thanks for putting a Cache for us because cricket is not always the most exciting game. The drain came right up during the storm last week, luckily it didn’t reach the cache Unfortunately was here without a pen but I’ve taken a photo for proof

Couldn’t find it first look but when I looked for it again I found it. Hint: not a typical container...

Amazing container!!

Well, as it was international Earthcache today, we were out caching to do an Earthcache to get the digital souvenir on our profile. We did the one at the nearby Dight's Fall. A beautiful day to be out and about.

Mrs P picked this to be our next cache. She said she recognised the caching name from a log on one of our caches! And the location is familiar to us..Mr and Mrs P , are quite fond of this location -we used to come here back when we were first dating (a quarter of a century ago! - time really flies ).

Well, what would you know, just as we are searching , the COs ride by on their bikes.

Great to meet you guys! A nice little hide here. Keep caching - recommend you check out some Earthcaches - they highlight nice geological places of interest. Also Mystery caches are great once you get into them - twice the fun - fun to solve and then fun to find!

Hope you like the pathtags and thanks for logging them so quickly! Reminds me that Mrs P has to log three she got at a Geocaching event about six months ago!

You might recall little Miss P, was a little grumpy when you met us. Well the find turned her frown upside down. See photo!

thanks for the cache Swanusguy!

After looking in the wrong spot for a bit, I widened my search radius and the cache was soon in hand. TFTC

Nice quick find on a family outing. Tftc.

Great little find.

A good location for a cache. The GPS did wobble around a bit but once I was in the right area it was an easy find.

Found by a 7 yo. Her first ever try at geocaching. Proud dad on father’s day.

Nice find in a very relaxing spot on an extremely windy day. TFTC

After a lovely walk into horseshoe bend for a DNF, I returned to my geovehicle.
With this cache only 70 metres away, I felt compelled to seek it out.
Surprisingly quiet down here on a Sunday afternoon.
A few muggles in the distance but none anywhere near GZ.
The cache was spotted on approach and retrieved without issue.
Signed and replaced in less than a minute. [^]
Thank you for placing this geocache for us to find.

TFTC Swanusguy. Found this, my 2001st cache today with junior cacher Flopsybunny. Nice hide in a great local area for us. Jimmytherat with Flopsybunny.

I had an hour to fill in while my son was at an appointment in Ivanhoe so I made my way to Chelsworth Park, waited for the Council workers to leave, found the cache, signed the log and rehide the cache before the muggles and puggles noticed me.
I remember visiting this area years ago to watch my husband play hockey against Yarra Valley Hockey Club on their grass grounds.
Thank you Swanusguy for this cache.

Way too easy.
I could see it well before arrival at GZ.
What a wonderful place.
Well worth a visit.
The bellbirds just added to the ambience of the area.

Quiet on a school holiday afternoon, and enough to keep a streak going.

ICW noticed this new addition to the geocachescape so we visited today. Lots of muggles were around for the many types of Saturday sport played there. As it was late afternoon everyone was packing up and racing home, so all was peaceful at GZ. Tftc.

Found it with Ninja Tortoise, now it was a very good day for all, including showing enough stealth not to be seen by muggles. It should be noted in my earlier days I did play in a premiership team with one of the resident clubs at this venue.

With a quick find nearby, I figured that I had plenty of time to backtrack for this one. There was a bunch of people preparing for tonight's World Cup match or something like that near GZ but thankfully they weren't concerned with my activities. Once at GZ, I spotted the stash almost straight away and after a bit of stealth, I was signing the log at 12:20.

TNLNSL, although our BYO pen geocoin had a visit to mark the occasion. Thanks Swanusguy.

A beautiful Winter day for a walk around Ivanhoe and it’s parks. I’ve been here many times before and always enjoy coming back. All quiet here today so very peaceful. TFTC

I was working from home and needed a cache to fill in a gap in my 366. This newly published cache fit the bill perfectly. Apart from a couple of joggers I had the place to myself. I had a pleasant walk to the GZ and made a quick find. TFTC.

STF - out on a sunny winter afternoon, sport was starting nearby, but that did not hinder a quick find. Thanks Swanusguy

*FTF* at 05:45
When I woke I saw this new cache published so made a plan for the early morning detour. Obviously no muggles crazy enough to be out on this freezing morning so I was able to conduct a fairly quick search in peace.
Thanks Swanusguy for the cache. I love walking down here by the river.
