No luck today.For a 2.5/2.5 I had an idea where I would have hidden it, but nope.Hunter
Found it as I was giving up and walking away. Not quite where the pin was, and very out in the open. I left it where I found it, but added to the camo
TFTC! A lovely day for a bike ride, decided to do a cache on our way! Looked like a new container and log so might have been first sign!
I have just adopted this cache today, I will go out and check on the cache in the next 2 weeks, and replace if required.
A group of 3 could find it, and another three users also couldn't find it. I would recommend checking on the cache, since we are planning on trying it a second time.
Spent probably 40 minutes poking around a bunch of different spots, sad to not get the find today 
On my way across town to visit family... running intentionally early, I stopped off to find caches in an area I don't normally visit. I wasn't having a great day of caching with a record of two DNF's and two Finds so despite the last log being a DNF I was hoping to go one more Find. I was against the clock by now so I didn't put much time in so I moved on when I couldn't find the cache in any of the obvious places.
After attending the nearby CITO, it was time to reward myself with some random nearby caches. This was one of those randoms i pucked up along my meandering.
I like the sound of the water nearby and the golfers teeing off. Found cache nice and snug, took a little while as gps was 2 metres off today. Signed LBC.
After picking up this cache I walked back via the playground you mentioned. My kids would’ve absolutely love this park when they were younger. I love the gaggle of Kookaburras. Thank you Cherryslice88 for placing and maintaining A Second Chance for us to find today.
Find # 1794.

Everyday is a new beginning but the older I get the less tolerant I have become, I will give a second chance but you don’t get a third chance.
I had no trouble finding this one.
Thanks Cherryslice88 for the cache.

We have a few hours to fill in before we need to pick up our grandkids from school and hunting for a few caches in the area. A nice walk across the oval to GZ and a quite find. Thanks to Cherryslice88 for the cache.
Nice quick and easy find, cache is in good condition and log is nice and dry.

Enjoying our walk along this gorgeous park and we soon arrived here. We made a quick find at this cache. Off to continue our walk and find some more cherryslice caches!! TFTC
This walking area was much nicer than the bike/walking path near the road. It was interesting looking at how high the river recently got, and also disappointing to see so much plastic caught up in the branches.
The cache was located with no problems and the log is good.

Quick find here since the cache was uncovered. Added some camo when we left. Thanks.
This one wasn't covered so we ensured it wasn't totally visible when we left.
It's my son's 16th birthday today and his soccer team Macedon Blues had a match with Ashburton. They lost ️ but we found this with my 10mo old boy and 10yo girl. It was a beautiful day!
We came to this reserve from Mount Waverley station on electric scooter we'd borrowed from a friend where we were staying. All along the trail I had DNFs at the various caches we tried to find. So I made a more concerted effort on the way back. The name of this cache was quite apt, as it turned out. After finding this one I found all the others, bar one, but that one I didn't try to hard to find because there were people about.
A quick find in a logical spot. No trouble here adding my name to the log. There was a soccer game on nearby, but too far off for me to arouse any suspicion with my search.

There are some truly beautiful birds that fly around this oval! Nice community garden too, tftc!
Quick find on a very hot day! Nice to have some shade around GZ though! Thought the difficulty and terrain rating were a bit high on this one, however still enjoyed the cache nonetheless! TFTC
Thanks Cherryslice88 for the cache. Sniffer-dog-like son had this one before I got to the GZ.
Our second find on our first day geocaching!
Walking with our friends, I took my mate's soon to help search and we found it before long, be was psyched as this was his first find ever.

Sometimes I have trouble knowing what Australian's are known for, I quite like that the cache's description is a nice reminder. TFTC
Nice easy and typical find to pick up morale of previous DNF and dog dodo stomping
Always had been around this park but never had been to it, as I had no reason to but now I have, thanks to this cache. Quick find, TFTC.
Found it, no second chance required! My GPS was out, but a hint in the logs was sufficient. TFTC!
After the run of wet days we’ve had recently recently, how good is it when the sun is out on a beautiful afternoon and there are caches to be found?!
I’m slowly filling my calendar grid and April 27 was still a white day to turn green (AWDTG). I’d noticed there was a nice little run of three caches along the bike path here, heading west from the bus stop on Warrigal Rd, including a previous DNF at Sol’s Energy. So it was time to spot caches whilst the sun shone, and that I did!
This is the only one of the three I’m logging today though - the others will have to wait for future calendar holes. A lovely secluded spot at the end of my walk. After signing, I returned to Warrigal road via the delightful creek track and said hello to a couple of friendly cavoodles along the way.
TFTC Cherryslice88 AWDTG. I’ll be back soon for a second, and third, chance!

How many more are we gonna do Mum. When are we going home for lunch Mum. Ahh the chant of the teenager without screens. I smile as the oldest literally just said "mum, I think we can go home now".
With spider guardians protecting the area I was wary of poking around too much. The camoflauge unfortunately required me to by pass a spider web but managed without disturbing too much. Great hide, accurate coordinates. Thank you!
Took the deadly treadly out for a ride along the Gardiners Creek Trail, and a few caches.
I didn't need a second chance at this cache.
Thanks, Robmc.

This evening began with a much needed boost to the amount of game storage on my PC, and led to quite a walk by Gardiner's Creek.
Though lacrosse practice was just kicking off, the cache location was isolated enough that getting a smiley was no bother.
Thanks, Cherryslice88

Found a few stray golf balls whilst I went a bit off track TFTC out with my son grabbing a few
Found today on our Ashburton to Murumbeena Morning Ramble. We picked up from where I had left off a couple of days ago. It is already getting warm just walking down past the oval. Thanks from D & HA B-A
Found @08:14 #7445

a quick find! the cache was a little larger than anticipated. TFTC. also didn’t bring a pen so there’s just a photo for proof.
There was a bit of light rain, and most people in the area were heading for home.
That gave me the change to get to the GZ without anyone paying any attention.
Thanks for the cache Cherryslice88.

The container had shifted a little from the camo and was easy to spot so I tried to cover it again a little more. TFTC
I managed to make it safely to this cache, despite horribly strong winds threatening to crush me under flying branches and falling trees (there weren't actually any of these, and I am being a little over dramatic, but it does make for a good story).
A nice quick find here and another cherryslice cache bites the dust (luckily I didn't bite the dust - did I mention the falling trees?). TFTC

Find 4/8 out riding with my geoson today. We stopped at both nearby playgrounds then moved onto the 2 caches here. There was a cricket match going on today, but we were able to grab this one discretely. TNLNSL, TFTC.
