By justginit on 29-Oct-19. Waypoint GC8F52C

A very hot day to go Hill Climbing but what a blessing to chill out in the church. I was amazed at the view from this little park, not only how high I was but also how close I was to the city. I think I need to come this way more often. Thanks for bringing me here with your multi.

A quick multi to start the day that went off without a hitch (unusual for me as I normally have trouble with multis for some reason). This one took me past my personal Australian GZ, the spot where I spent my first night in Melbourne having moved from Texas over 12 years ago. Never made it to this park though, nice one! Tftc

What an absolutely awesome cache! Been to that lookout point a bunch so it was very lovely to visit it again but now using it to guide me towards a cache! My brother who lives quite close accompanied me on this little adventure (his first time learning about and doing a geocache) and we both managed to find it!The ending location that the coordinates give you is a lovely little spot and the find of the cache felt very rewarding (though requires a little bit of mobility to reach up a bit high). Made a little friend of a striped orange cat on our way out too. Very pet friendly and a very pretty walk around! Thanks for the fun adventure! <3

I found this cache today at a midway stop on a tram ride up Church Street. A wedding was on at the nearby church so I wound my way around to WP1. Once there, I carefully counted and then moved back to the church at which point, the wedding party and guests were all outside. I quickly shuffled into the spot for the info and then out again. It was then off to the cache where a nice little hide was now in hand. Thanks from D B-A

Thanks for the cache justginit.I was out n about today on a neighbourhood caching stroll with my geoGrandson from team GHAP.We did the counts at WPs 1&2, and soon had some coords. I know where that is he said, with the benefit of local knowledge and Scouting games.A quick find at WP3 - I stood back and allowed his agility to prevail.Thanks for showing me these impressive buildings.Greetings from Tassie,Cheers,EPs

I had calculated the final coordinates on a previous visit to the area, but there were too many muggles around to get the find.I was out and about collecting a few caches around Richmond this morning. Thankfully, GZ was deserted today and I spotted the classic container almost instantly upon arriving. Some lovely old buildings up the top of the hill.

Found! Took my dad on his first geocaching adventure and it was great! Thanks heaps

Out and about with My good caching friends Omegaman1971 and tiz13, there are always plenty of laughs while we are turning caches into smiles.This is one of the caches found today. Soon found the cache but could not get it out, we hunted around for a nice stick and soon had the cache in hand. I really liked this little park it was well maintained.Thanks justginit for the cache.

Omegaman1971Support Your Local Villain Live - Laugh - Lurk First To Find: 149Sidetracked Cache Finds: 118In the city for an event at Federation Square today and hopefully, put some smiles on the map. Always great to be out caching but even better when doing it with geo friends.This is one of the caches we successfully found today, Cheers for the cache.

Today Rebel Acts, Omegaman and Tiz13 meet up to complete a mission that had been on the want list for several months. But first there was some caching to be done and an event to attend. One of the boys had worked on this multi previously but not collected the final cache so we made a pitstop on our way to the city with a bit of menouvouring with a natural ToTt we soon had this cache in hand.

18:47Filling in the gaps in my calendar...Nice and quiet here while I counted a few things, and even more peaceful at the coordinates.Thanks, justginit.#8158

Accompanying with ALL7 and great enjoyed with this muilt and nice spot to signed the log by stamp.. TFTM

63ROOS from Tasmania and Me from Canberra We drive around to place find few caches and Good weather and little windy .. tks

Solved coordinates quickly using available data and the only problem was parking. Picked up after work on my way home. Nice quiet little park. TFTC

nice quick walk around Richmond for this one
Thanks for the Cache

Thanks for the find! For those wondering, the answer for "B" is the same number of bricks between the ground and the plaque

I failed here two years ago, back when the church was being repaired. And I’d managed to get the correct GZ, I was just cache blind. I’ll never know why - today it was easy. Thanks justginit for this tour of Tigerland

Seeing that this was only a short walk from the office, I went searching while getting my morning coffee. After a little poor map reading on my behalf, I found GZ and the cache was quickly found. Thanks for the fun walk around Richmond!

Stopped in at the church to hear the choir sing, such a beautiful place. Made our way to GZ and made the find with the assistance of the clue. TFTC

Cute little multi in a sweet spot.

The logbook is a little hard to extract. It could do with a little bag like it seems from photos to have had a while back.

Thanks for a nice little multi and info about the surrounds.

After attending an appointment not far from here, Papi and I were able to quickly gather the details we needed and then make a quick find. Thanks for placing the cache for us to find. Great little park.

GT37 had an appointment today and we were within a km of this. We drove a little closer then took a nice stroll to collect what was needed and then find the cache. It is a very well kept little oasis amongst the buildings. Thanks for bringing us here with this cache.

It was a short drive into town to grab this cache. Parking around the area is quite tight but I managed to find a spot and walked to GZ.

A nice little spot in amongst the concrete jungle.

I was initially coming up empty but then I considered the info provided little more and soon had the cache in hand.

Thanks justginit for adding this cache to the worldwide collection for us all to enjoy.

In Melbourne as Mr Dromanaix was working today. Mr Dromaniax needed to head to the big Blue and Yellow furniture store. With a little time on his hands, he decided to have a tootle around Richmond and look for a Multicache.

Multicaches haven't been one of our regularly found caches, and we are attempting to rectify that by finding as many as possible.

WP2 reminded us of the day we attended the church for the funeral of a friend taken way to early.

Once we had the required information, we made our way to GZ and found the cache in great condition.

Thank you for this Multicache justginit.

A very hot day, I ventured out on my own to find a multi for my multi challenge.
I gathered the information and set off to GZ and a lovely little park, where it was a quick find. Thanks justginit.

What a lovely walk around where I used to live! Forgot to bring a pen, again. Quick find, and lovely greenery! TFTC

Quick find before heading across to the test match. TFTC and quick adventure.

Nice, easy find in a nice little park. All in good condition. TFTC

No issue gathering the numbers and quickly found the cache, though I had trouble getting it out from it’s hiding spot. All good here.
Travelled back to my home state of Victoria from New Zealand to attend the Whittlesea MEGA (and maybe visit family!)
Thanks for the cache, justginit

A beautiful area in the suburb, it would be nice to live around here.

Had a morning with my son in Richmond, so decided to do some caching around the MCG. A few virtual, some Ad Labs and a multi cache kept us busy.

Lady find for the day before heading back to the house. Coordinates were all spot on. Numbers were gathered easily and the final was nabbed quickly with the hint.

All up a great example of what a multi cache should be. I’ll award a FAV point.

A find before a Friday afternoon meeting over a beer on swan st - maybe in contrast to the places visited to attain this cache. tftc

What a lovely part of old Richmond. A most enjoyable wander and easy grab at the delightful end.

*Found on the 9 Apr 2022 @ 2:08 pm.*
*Cache find # 12656.*

I was needing a few more virtual cache finds for a certain challenge cache and as there were now 5 in the city that I had not found, I decided to head in, park out a bit and ride my bike the rest of the way.
I decided to park around this area but before heading to the MCG, I took a look at this multi.
No problem at the start, I then headed around to the next waypoint and the place was swarming with muggles as a wedding ceremony had just finished and everyone had moved out to the front of the church for photo's, I continued along the footpath weaving in and out of wedding goers to where I needed to be, lucky I could do this waypoint from the footpath and once I had what was needed I moved away to work on the numbers.
I then headed to a nice and quiet GZ where I was able to make a fairly quick find.

**Thanks to justginit for placing this cache.**

Super cool thanks for a great cache justginit! Enjoyed seeing the area...so many churches!!

I found myself around Richmond with a little spare time, so I quickly set out for this multi! I really enjoyed the walk and the little parks, however the second location’s number had to be guessed due to construction (wasn’t too tricky to figure out what it was)! Once GZ was quiet, I was able to swoop in for the find. Didn’t bring a pen (whoops) so attached is a photo for proof of find! TFTC

With the second WP being covered up by reconstruction at the church it was a bit of a guess to get the numbers required. Once at a guessed GZ the hint made sense and after a protracted extraction log was signed
Thanks justginit for 3121 - Richmond Hil

#5441

Construction works at WP2 meant for some creative thinking to obtain the answer. GZ looked plausible and my "bright" idea was correct.

Thanks to justginit for the placement and fun.

Teamwork on this one. Church is currently under repairs. View of WP2 is blocked by a temporary wall. With the help of a fellow cacher dignitarycerar, the clue and shortly after the cache were in hand. TFTC!

Unless you’ve got a selfie stick or are nine foot tall, having someone else helps. With the assistance of Hubba we could obtain WP2 and retrieve the cache with ease. TFTC!

Suscoe was in Richmond today for an appointment and with some time up our sleeves we decided to track down this multi.
What amazing buildings in this complex.
They are doing a bit of repair work on the north east corner of the Church but the waypoint for the second clue was still visible.
A pleasant walk in the sunshine and we found the cache.
Thanks to justginit for this multi.

We collected the info required for this cache last month and while the Chief took a business call I trotted off to find GZ....and then I turned around and trotted back to the car. Just as I had approached GZ 2 ladies plonked themselves down for lunch and a natter. I figured there was no way I could hunt for the cache without attracting their attention and I didn’t have the time to wait them out. Today however, there was not a soul around and the cache was quickly located, signed and returned. Thanks justginit

Having headed to the area for an MRI, I thought I would detour and find a cache. This was it for the day! An interesting find! Thanks for placing the cache justginit.

*Found whilst exploring the area after an appointment*

Apologies for the **LATE** log - *Sometimes life just gets in the way Between house renos, COVID and life in general I'm just catching up on some late logs*


Thanks for the cache justginit. Appreciate your efforts.

*Took*: Nothing

Cache on!

My better half had an appointment nearby so I thought I would do this one while waiting. Collected the required information at wp1 and then wandered to the church as the rain started. Very disappointed that the church was not open. As a mad Tigers fan I will be back to view the window. Anyway, I collected what was needed and put in the final. Arriving at GZ, I noticed a Muggle sitting near the cache throwing balls for her dog. I wandered off and then returned, but she was still there! Decided to leave it for another day, but when I returned to the car I thought I would give it one last try. Thankfully, she had gone and I made the find quickly thanks to the hint. As I signed the log another person appeared and stood in the middle of the area. When she turned away I returned the cache and moved away. Good fun, but not without its minor dramas. Thanks for the cache, justginit.

Amazing view at WP1 and nice little parks. The church certainly has the penultimate real estate in Richmond. Wandering through I notice on signs the social good offered. Collected the info and headed off to a surprising little park that I cannot remember noticing in years gone by when an art gallery was up here. Also glad for the hint on account of being not tall! Back in Melbs and see this has been sitting in drafts so apologies for the late log. TFTC and bringing me here.

Nice location!

Nice little walk in the back streets of Richmond Hill after a day stuck indoors teleworking. Also a long time between caches; I don’t have a pen so took a snap of the logbook instead. TYFC.

Found it yesterday and a nice little stroll through our local ‘hood. Was a little confused by the clue in the church, maybe we were completely missing something but could not locate the rows of black pavers (inside the church) unless it referenced the external stone walls? Managed to still locate the cache by process of elimination. Great little park only a stone’s throw from our house but never knew it existed! Thanks

Managed to nip out for a couple of hours on Saturday late arvo / early evening to try a few caches. I had cached out this area several years ago so it was good to be able to pop back. This was a good day to check this one out as it was pretty quiet around and no problems finding a spot to park. I visited the church first and as a footy fan it was great to check out the stained glass window. Collected the info I needed there and headed back to the posted coordinates to get the info from that spot too. Went on to GZ and another deserted area for me to check out. I was glad of the hint as it was a tricky little hide so I was pleased to get my hands on the cache. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables. Thanks for the multi cache justginit.

My first multi ever . Tftc. Great hint super cute park

Find number 8180 at 1:01:20 pm
On our way into Barkly Gardens for a family picnic and I needed a cache for the day and this multi looked like a good candidate.
Was amazed when we arrived at the posted coordinates to find a conglomeration of churches, we wondered if this is why Church Street is called Church Street.
An enjoyable multi.
**Thanks for placing this cache justginit**

I worked in Richmond for 17 years so it was great to check out what had changed. I love this suburb. This is a great little multi. GZ was not nearly as pretty as it is now when I worked here.

It has been a while between caches due to the ever increasing demand for Dad's taxi services. Today I managed to find a moment between drop off and pick up to grab this multi.

A great view from the posted coordinates and a very pleasant walk soon led me to the GZ. A quick find. TFTC.

For the past few years I have watched the New Year's Eve fireworks from WP1. When I first came here there wasn't a park so it's good there are now seats and some grass for a picnic. Unfortunately the street trees have grown so the view isn't as good.

I found the clues for this multi on New Year's Eve but I was with some muggle friends so I wasn't able to look for the cache. Today I had lunch in Richmond with some ex-work colleagues so had plenty of time afterwards to look for this cache. When I arrived at GZ there was a muggle playing fetch with her dog. I managed to wait them out and was eventually able to grab the cache, which was hidden in a logical spot. I signed the log at 4:00 pm and then returned the cache to its hiding spot. TNLN.

Thanks justginit for the interesting multi and for the cleverly hidden cache. I have had a look at St Stephen's Church before but it was good to finally have a look over the other churches too.

{250} We strolled up the hill from the station for a quick look around Richmond Hill. Luckily St Ignatius was open, so we ventured inside to see the stained glass window. Loved the little Tiger supporter! Off to GZ, no trouble finding the cache on this quiet afternoon. Thanks for this multi, justginit.

Found at 17:10
I was on my way and had a little time to spare so I made the shprt detour to come for a look here. A parked near WP2 and made my way through to the listed coords to collect the required information. Once I had a good looking set of coords I headed off to quickly make the find.
Thanks justginit for the cache

7 Jan 2020: Streak Day #313/366 (1 March 2019 - 29 February 2020). Came here to do Multi after work. Thanks for the multi cache, justginit.

I stopped by for a look for this one following a birthday party drop-off nearby. Thankfully the clues were quite straightforward and my calculated GZ was unoccupied so I was soon signing the log at 19:35.

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

So glad to finally have a cache in this area. It was a great opportunity to grab it given it is 33 degrees and smoky, the muggles are hiding. This is a beautiful Richmond church and good to have a reason to go there. Quick find. Tftc

Found at 4:15 pm.
A quick late afternoon bike ride and really glad to have the bike, no parking hassles and easy to get from waypoint to waypoint.
Luckily a deserted GZ on arrival and thanks to the hint a nice quick find.
Thanks justginit for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

Had my eye on this for a while as it is so close to my gym. What an amazing church for an inner suburb. Lots of workman around so I asked what was happening. They are converting some of it into a boarding house. Did the walk picking up the clues. Then took the short walk. What and amazing area for old and new housing. Cute park and well occupied. Lucky they moved on so I could make the find. Thanks for this interesting cache. justginit.

Took a short walk around the area and loved the tour of the local open spaces. I'd suggest that future finders begin the cache with the notion that they might have to walk away from laying hands on the cache at GZ if there are muggles about. There just isn't any way of pretending to do anything else whilst fishing the cache out from it's hide and you will be VERY exposed to anyone in the immediate vicinity.
I was lucky enough to arrive at a time when GZ was utterly deserted.

Found it after IKEA shopping.
Thanks for guide me to the church.
TFTH ️️

That deserves a favourite for sure! Showed me two of the nicest spots in Richmond. Loved everything about the cache. Thank you!

Some nice interesting places around here. Quick find once at GZ. Tftc

Nice little multi and intriguing stained glass near WP2! I do know this area quite well as I often come for rehearsals and concerts at one of the churches, but there is always something new to discover. Quick find at GZ - glad I was just tall enough and agile enough to get there TFTC

Find No. 2912. Found at 7.17pm

Down in Melbourne for a medical appointment and staying at the Richmond Hill Hotel. As this one was close by we went for a walk to grab this one and another one close by before we grabbed something to eat for tea.
It was quiet in the area at this time with no muggles to annoy us so was easy to do. A quick multi with the ending close by which is the way we like multi's. Once this was done we then walked off to find our next one in the area.

TFTC

Thanks for the stroll around the churches on the hill. I did view the more recent stained glass in the side chapel. Also a rammed earth house near GZ; unusual for this area. TFTC

I lived nearby in '79 - '80. Walked the hill on many occasions too. I must admit that I never ventured into these grounds before.
Today the sun was setting as I wandered through. Some mighty impressive architecture here!
At GZ the local kids were still out running up and down the street. As far as streets go, in inner suburban Melbourne, this is most likely one of the few where kids can still safely do that. Mother watched on from over the tall fence and another neighbor four doors up didn't appear to be in a hurry to go indoors. A couple of the little muggles decided to take an interest in my presence and although I had already located the cache; it had slipped back too far for me to discreetly remove it without a TOTT.
I wandered off to let the coast clear. I figured the best option was to return to the Geo-Prado and drive back.
Taking a slightly different route on my way to the car, I strolled through the church precinct and down a narrow winding street. Left into a laneway and left again up another. I chanced upon a young couple trying to be discrete as they smoked their distinctive, aromatic cigarette behind the old houses.
A short drive down and I parked on the main road. Walked to the secluded park and soon had the cache in hand.

Thanks for the history lesson, the opportunity to visit a familiar area and of course, the cache, justginit. [^]
