More difficult than I would have thought. Good spot!

No luck here with head torch at night

Too scared to commit

A little tricky here, but got it Thanks to fousel for the fun and the adventure.

So tricky we loved it watch out for mosquitos TFTC

Nice find, and a bloody beautiful park too.

Well hidden. We needed the hint... Geo point was a few metres off

Thanks

Fairly hard cache. Was lucky that there weren't any muggles around :pTFTC

very clever. we went to go put our cans in the refund container nearby and thought we'd have a go at this one. we were lucky enough to have a beautiful sunny day and we had a nice walk through the park. thank you !!

Second cache of teh afternoon, glorious weather and a lovely park to wander through. Once more, __Cat__ was in the right place to find this one quickly. TFTC!

Took some poking around but got there in the end

Well camouflaged! Thanks for the cache!

Well hidden when looking at the Gz. May well be back with some local geoscouts. Tftc

Thank you

I needed the hint to find this well camouflaged cache on a rainy afternoon. Tftc.

Midwinter Melbourne TourDay Four: DarebinWeather: Still wintery!One of three caches found a few train stops north of our digs in Abbotsford. A Myki is the ultimate TOTT when visiting Melbourne. All the daylight was pretty much gone by the time I got here, but the hint is very specific, and this one was easily found under the light from an iPhone. Thanks for bringing me to this interesting spot with your cache fousel.

Searched high and low for a solid 15-20 mins and couldnt find it anywhere:( but I am determined to come back to find it

Found it, good search

Well hidden

Found 7/6, second try with some help from others clues.

Finally came back here for a second attempt with geo kid and had the cache in hand! I think it was washed away on previous visit. TFTc!

Took 3 tries but we finally found it! Great hide and very well done. TFTC!!

Stuck my head under a rock and stick through a pipe, but still no find

TFTC

Thank U

Out and about with My good caching mate Omegaman1971, there are always plenty of laughs while we are turning caches into smiles.This is one of the caches found today.Thanks fousel for the cache.

Out once again with Rebel Acts putting some smiles on the map, always great to be on the geo hunt.This is one of the caches we successfully found today, Cheers for the cache.

Hard find. Coordinates were off by quite a few metres but the clue helped and I persisted with the find! Very well camouflaged. Tftc.

Good one. We were a bit baffled and then ran out of time on the first look, but we were sure we were in the right spot, so we came back two hours later armed with a stick and a sock on each hand and we found it!!! Thanks for the cache!

I found this cache today on my Mega Walk #17 - a 30,000 step walk firstly around Coburg, then from Preston to Reservoir and back to Bell. Got down and dirty to look for this one for the second time in two caches. I persisted until it popped out. Thanks from D B-A

Tftc fousel. A warm summer night, a hotel bed, a restless night. Opportunity knocks for an early morning pre-dawn walk.Not for the faint of heart this one and being a geologist helps.

Thanks!

May its bad idea going on day of rain. I thought should find it but failed. Will back in other day when I pass this area.

We checked the cache everything ok with the cache nothing washed away

I think it got washed away

Didn't find it because we think it go west away in the water

Very cheeky hide, watch out for monsters!

Tricky. Spidey alert!!

Good spot! Tftc

Very cool. Tftc

Very clever spot. Great find

Found at 15:54I was on the area this afternoon and stopped for a walk and a look. There were a few muggles around but none were interested in what we were doing. We poked around for a while and were about to give up when I had just one more look and found the container dislodged on the ground covered in leaves. After signing the log I tucked it back up under.Thanks fousel for the cache

That was so hard but I found it good job

Tftc

Spontaneous find so unfortunately no pen! TFTC

Great spot for a first find!

acanbs

Could not find

We couldn’t quite pick it up due to a bug phobia. It was well out of reach today!

Found it! we were almost fooled by red backs and red herrings!

Really good cache and decently hard

Found it on my return. This time I let my fingers do the work above the spot I checked last time. Good placement.

Good cash the cords are accurate

Very fun but easy

.

Took a moment to understand that hint but once I found the source I had the CiH. Thanks for bringing me here.

Took us a second. Thinking too hard

Good hide in a nice spot

??

Not in luck today, 2nd DNF in a raw! Sure thing: I will have to come back!

Unless my GPSr directs me away from GZ, couldn’t manage to locate the cache this time…

What a day!

We have been side tracked, explored Preston ad lab, picked up rubbish at the CITO, found some traditionals, solved a puzzle, had a BBQ, went to the awards ceremony and chatted with lots of friendly geocachers.

After the awards ceremony, JupiterPearl, Spiffy- and I were eager to explore more caches in the north. We set off to see what was was 'on the way' home.

This was a lovely little park and the hint helped us narrow down GZ.

spiffy- did the honours of retrieval whilst we admired the park.

thanks fousel for showing us this place

Award nomination and CITO event day had arrived and I messaged Fleabag to see what he was doing to get here and he said he was leaving early so I headed off by myself and found a few caches on the way. After the event we made our way via quite a few caches back towards home and ended up finishing about 5pm.
I sacrificed one for the team here and got my knees wet and gladly found the cache in the first place I looked.
Thanks fousel for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

The trio of Kristyadventures,Spiffy and myself headed for a few of the local caches after the GV event.
Quick find - cute park no water today.
Spiffy made the find - thanks fousel for the cache.

Nice park. Helpful activity notes. Plenty of sticks nearby: David

Quick find between two trains on my way out to Middle Gorge thanks to a clue about using a stick! Signed and replaced. Thanks for the hide!

Found him! Didn’t have a pen so didn’t get to sign the new logbook. A great hiding spot, and I was lucky as there were no webs for me today. A very pretty park. TFTC!

This was so fun to find and it was in a great spot sadly we forgot to bring a pencil, we might come back another time with one. This was so fun to find, great job! Quick and easy find might have to use phone torch to find it.

Had a good poke about but no treasure!

Easy found in 2 mins

Had a 25min time limit so excited when we found it! (Scared of the cobwebs)

It has spiderwebs (had 25min time limit)

Here’s a tip, bring a stick.

Stopped by rain
Try on drier day

Back after lunch
Had more time

A stick and a scratch is all you need

Had a pretty good poke around at the spring but only found cobwebs, insects and dead leaves. I’ll have to try again another time.

Cache replaced- ready to be found

Seems to be dislocated or gone - we will check/replace when we return

Did not find

Had a really good look and pretty sure we had the right spot. Stuck my hand in through the webs but no cache to be found. Mr Rami Boy thinks it must have been washed away.

A bit too hot to spend a lot of time looking. Will come back when it’s cooler.

The Pav Deakin students roughs the extreme weather and finds the Spring

Lovely summer morning with a lot of little insects on guard after the recent rains. But eventually got there! Thanks for a great hide and interesting historical info on the area.

All good here. Cache is still in place

Found It!
A quick(ish) find here on a rather cold afternoon. The spring was dry today which was a bit surprising but it made for an easy find.
TFTC

Didn’t find it, could it have been washed away with the rain? Thanks

Yay

Wet day, after looking in the obvious areas I committed and made the find. Gorgeous little park to stop on the way home. Cheers

when we tried to put the cache back we found a spider where the cache should have been

Found with everest90 on a sunny day.
Just glad I wasn't the one to put my hand through the webs. Tftc

No luck for us today. Please hit us with a clue or two, or even a blatant spoiler so we can tick this one off!

Yay

Great find. Almost gave up but Peck1963 came to help

With L2 and Teddy. We'll pass on the toxic waste.

Great find with grandsons after a cultural spring blessing

Nice little find great for a beginner like me

Fun time easy find but good for beginners
