Checked on her today! Looking good! Cleared some of the rubbish around to make it a more pleasurable find, however we all know how quickly the rubbish will return! CITO
Thanks for the early morning cacheWas quite good placementThanks for the adventure
A well constructed cache off the beaten path. Took an opportunity while passing along on an unrelated errand. Tftc
Found it.. twice.. once in a test drive of a car, then back in my car with a pen to sign it!Thanks to geoNkenter for the fun and the adventure.
was tempted to leave but had one last look to find it in good condition.Not the best location but a good cacheTFTC

Found. Definitely not where the gps says but fairly close. Cute little mechanism to get to the container though. Bring own pen/ pencil.
Back in Melbourne for the Mother-in-Law's 80th birthday, I found myself catching up with a friend and introducing her to caching in her new local area as she has recently relocated from Brisbane. Sadly there was a lot of rubbish around, but the cache was found quickly and I loved the concept - it aligns well. TFTC.
dnfOk, ok. This one almost got me. A great example of how confirmation bias can play into how we search for a cache. You arrive at GZ with a preconceived idea of how it's going to be hidden, based on previous hides in similar environments, and you just end up wasting your time looking in places it's not. This was actually a genuinely brilliant hide, another example of some great ingenuity when it comes to hiding these containers. Spent what was at least 20 minutes looking all over GZ, was absolutely convinced it wasn't there, and the only reason I did end up finding it, I saw something in the environment that shouldn't have been there, I investigated, and well, yeah, the hint makes a hell of a lot more sense when you realise where it's been hidden, and more so how.10 out of 10, probably one of the best hides I've found in Melbourne thus far.
Neville_devil and I were heading to Deer Park to check out a new car for Neville because last week Neville managed to park his old one way to close the the car in front of him. We left early enough to grab a cache or two on the way.With only a few minutes left before we were meant to be viewing the car we had one last stop here and after a short hunt Neville spotted our prize.Thank you geoNkenter for the hide
our first ever geocache 
it was difficult to find because of the rubbish and bushy trees but nevertheless it a marvellous adventure!

barb2e and I gave this a good search, but we have the niggling feeling that you would have to stand in the ditch which is currently filled with water. We tried coming from the street side and from above, but no luck.
Nicely executed cache. The pin is about 3-4m west of the location on my device, however, which might have you b u. t.. w. t!
There was alot of rubbish and broken trees there, including branches which was challenging to find
A quick detour on my way home from work today to fill another gap on my caching calendar. Quick find, and really appreciate the trouble you've gone to to allow short, gravity afflicted people to grab this cache TNLN, TFTC
We have got way behind in our logging and are trying to catch up and get our caching in order.Life has been pretty hectic this year, and a lot of it has gotten in the way of efficient logging of finds.We want to thank all the Cache owners for providing an array of caches for us around our countryside and in our cities.We apologise for the generic logs. We must do this to get through the backlog.Unless otherwise specified, all the caches we found were in good order.Thank you, geoNkenter, for this Traditional cache.
Set out this morning with the aim of arriving in Horsham just after lunch. Horrendous traffic through Melb and gave up on time plan and just thought to wing it along the way, looking for those with fave points or something interesting. This cache was nicely done. Shame about all the rubbish.TFTC geoNkenterregardskbucky
I arrived at GZ and started poking around, looking here and there, in all the obvious places. When this yielded nothing, I had a think about the life of the person that this cache is celebrating, and something came to mind. Not long after that, the cache was in my hands. The hide fits in with the theme. Great stuff.
Realizing I needed a cache today to keep up my 15 day streak. We found this one near by we accidentally turn down the wrong road. We finally arrive at the location I walk through the trees looked all over including crawling on the ground. I don’t know why I couldn’t find it.
200th milestone cache.
Find 1 for today and day 4 on a work trip to Melbourne and home.
After a dinner meeting at spice (Indian restaurant) and getting a dnf here earlier, I decided to come back and try again. Found with assistance from a helpful muggle who lives across the road that’s help many before us, same muggle wanted to know what people were doing so my muggle boss explained geocaching to him. he was very interested and he downloaded the app. Awesome cache I love the history of Ned Kelly.

Stopped here to find the cache as I was in the area, took a bit to find but the worse thing was the rubbish around the area. Maybe a good chance to do a CITO event? Anyway, thanks for the cache in an area that I hadn't been before
Out on a date day with Wespro who wants to get caches from different city councils. Easy find today.
Love the container, although it was full of water! Waterproof paper helps with that issue though! TFTC
Had a look around with my little geoexplorer but was unable to find the cache. Unfortunately there’s a lot of rubbish littered around
After some searching around I finally managed to spot it. In the dark with a torch doesn't make it too easy, however was happy once I got it. Thanks.
I never venture around this side of town as I usually completely bypass it on my way out of town on the western freeway (despite Siri always trying to make me take Ballarat Rd instead ). It was good to be able to stop by today although the neighbourhood didn’t feel super welcoming and the trash throughout the trees at GZ made it even less so.
I searched and searched, being careful what I touched. I looked at the hint and it made sense but still nothing jumped out at me. I double checked a spot I had looked before just as I was about to give up and sure enough there it was. Not what I was expecting and probably slightly more than a 1.5 terrain.
The cache was filled with water but the log was ok.
Thanks geoNkenter for placing this gamepiece in the wild for us to find.

Day 12 of the month streak.
I made this one hard work.
After 10min I delved into the hint.
This gave me nothing.
But then I widened the search.
As I was about to give up I spotted something.
Bingo that was it!

Found by Mary and David at 12:45. Took us a while, but blame our elderly eyes 
A smell of death and decay was very evident, adding to the atmosphere here. Hoped the gang hadn't hijacked a postie! Definitely worth a FP. Our thanks to geoNkenter.

Awesome love the Ned Kelly theme. Went hunting after we saw the Ned Kelly armour at state library in city
This street has me stressed. Haven’t had any luck here at all. There is a tree that looks like it’s freshly fallen. Not sure if it has anything to do with my inability to find this cache. 
Cache may needs maintenance. Hope to check it out this month when I’m back up there.
