A couple of hours to kill, so I thought I would see how many cache I could grab before having to head home in this area. Amazing, big old trees remaining with parks built to preserve. TFTC

Following some recent DNFs, checked out the cache hide to find that council maintenance had removed the cache. Cache found near by and replaced in original hiding spot. All good to go.

no joy here today. Searched high and low. Too good. Next time maybe.

I found this cache on my Mega Walk #26 - a 31,000 step 3 Stage walk through Coburg, then Middle Gorge and finally South Morang to Bundoora. Back onto the Western side of the main road again. Once at GZ, I was aware of the 2 DNFs but found what appears to be a replacement cache at the obvious place. Thanks from D B-A

Searched everywhere so DNF Thank you for placing the cache napier92.

No luck today

A DNF last time so I needed to change that to a smilie. Better luck this time. TFTC

I have avenged a DNF from last time here Great spot for a cache hopefully it stays there for the next cacher to find. TFTC

On secondment to Melbourne, Australia, combined with short holidays here and there. Day 27/74, Saturday. Another really hot day so I decided to do some train-hopping and go here and there. Beautiful Bundoora was one of my targets because I wanted to see the RMIT campus over there. I also walked a lot today again. Another quick find from here. Thank you for the cache and greetings from Vaasa, Finland! Logged with [GCDroid](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gcdroid).

GZ was a little off, but a quick find

Nice fenced off and protected tree nearby. No muggles in the area allowed for a quick extraction and sign.

Busy... busy... busy! Christmas is almost here and lots to do still... hardly any time for caching but I had to get out this morning and find a heap of caches if I was going to earn the *December Solstice souvenir*. And so I was up early and heading over the the City of Whittlesea where I still had lots of caches to look for. The first hour was really productive... every cache a quick find... but not so the next couple of hours. As is the way of caching, my targets were either hard to find or possibly missing... Still, with perseverance, I got there... I got the souvenir. Thanks **napier92** for this cache... a nice easy find.

Out in the northern 'burbs doing a mini cache run. I was welcomed to GZ by a couple cockies up in the lovely old gum tree. Cache was quickly located and gently placed the cache and snail back into it's hide.

We noticed this before we got to GZ so made sure it wasn't as obvious when we left. Thank you for bringing us here with this cache.

When we found this, it wasn't in a great position so we placed it with a little concealment. Thanks for the cache.

While on my way to uni hill shopping centre I saw there was a cache right next to it so I tried it and I couldn't find it

Cache replaced again and hopefully lifted up out of harms way. Cords unchanged.

Cache replaced.

This one has gone walkabouts again. Had a good look around at the obvious spots and no camouflage beroca tube seen. Might need a new location in the park.

Muggled again, will need to replace or move.

No luck. Only a couple of places it could be hidden, and they are very obvious (one on a tree that every kid would want to climb) so I’m guessing it has been muggled - again.

Gave the area a pretty and found some possible locations for a cache that size but didn’t have any luck. I can’t believe the nearby tree has its own personal fence for protection! Amazing.

No luck for me today

Nice one. Pretty easy find but sorry to the slug I encountered: David

Found it with some mates

Cache replaced

Based on feedback, it is likely that the cache has again been muggled....will need to replace.

Unfortunately couldn't find anything at posted Coords!! I will keep an eye on this cache.

GPS is leading us to nowhere. Nearby is a very obvious but very obviously empty spot. I guess we will wait until others find this before returning. Thanks anyway!

Found a lot of snails home. 6 Snails & 2 Slugs later we signed the log. Female maggie was very vocal.
For some reason I reckon I’ve been to this spot before, it all looked very familiar.
SL TFTC

New cache and log placed.

Cache had been muggled. New cache and logbook w pencil placed and hopefully a bit better hidden

pending review, may have been muggled.

DNF here, I'm pretty sure that it's gone. TFTC

Two of us looked for this for some time but this could possibly do with the check as there seems to be nowhere but one place to hide it and all we found was snails.

No luck

Pretty sure it is gone

Don’t know if cache is still there or not, but couldn’t find it.

Thank you

Nice easy find. Note was a bit wet. Left a few goodies there for the next find.

Out for walk on a Sunday afternoon just finding geocaches and enjoying the waning weather. An easy find at the appropriate GZ.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks for placing this geocache here for us to find today.

Very happy to find this cache after it was muggled the second last time… we were here on Boxing Day 2020!
We can understand why it is being muggled. A half sized container would not be so obvious.
However we replaced it as best we could with a light covering of thin bark, which should keep it reasonably safe.
TFTC we will return one day to find more of napier98s other caches as we had other prior arrangements today.

Thanks for a quick find.

cache in good condition.

Found it! Had a few snail friends napping on the container

Found it

This one was missing last time I swung by, but it was there today for a quick find. TFTC

CO following up on a spate of DNFs. Indeed the cache had been muggled....so replaced with a new cache and log for the New Year. Happy caching

Found the most likely spot for it to be wit a piece of concrete lodged in there, couldnt manage to get it out though and i can at night so there were dozens of creepy crawlies keeping me at bay

Two DNFs in a row

Have been here on a previous cache and found that but today this one couldn’t find it . Not sure if it was supposed to be in previous place or a new one but came up empty handed .

GeoDaughter - It was a little bit hard but it was so fantastic.
ASP84 - It was good to turn this onto a smile after it had gone missing after we were here last time.
TFTC

I always found the expressions being sent to Coventry very strange. This was another quick and easy find.

I had a lovely morning collecting a few smilies in the area and this one was one of them. What a majestic tree with its special protection zone. Thanks napier92

In the area for some Caching fun with Rebel Acts, it was great to be back in a area I haven't cached for ages.
Cheers for the cache.

A great day out with Omegaman1971, Our trip last weekend got canceled due to the five day lock down so we were glad we could get out again this weekend, we had a great day out exploring new areas.

This is one of the caches we found on our travels.

Thanks napier92 for the cache.

Just travelling home from my first full day at work in the office since last March, hopefully it will be the last for some time Time to grab some geocaches on the way home to destress.
Been here before, found another cache, quick find today

Thanks Napier92, Yes, we found it this time. Unfortunately, I didn’t have a pencil, so I couldn’t write in the new log booklet. Thanks for the maintenance of the cache. Happy new year!

Previous cache had indeed been mugged. Cache replaced and camouflaged. Cachers please ensure the cache is well hidden once logged.

Given the mix of recent finds and DNFs it is on the list for CO maintenance to confirm all is as it should be. Cheers Napier92

Could find a perfect hole for this one the exact size and shape for a barocca tube but no dice.
Couldn’t see it would fit anywhere else when you have this perfect hidey hole, except it’s vacant.

TF the challenge,

On my way to drop some items at a friend's house in Mernda I decided to take the opportunity to do some caching on the way there and back.

After seeing three recent DNFs here I was wondering if I would also be logging a DNF, but as I had found the cache that was previously in this park I took a guess that the hide would be similar. It was an easy find and I loved the camo. Hopefully it will last.

Thank you napier92 for providing this cache.

Has it been muggled?

Mine too. I found nothing.

Our caching senses must be off

Nice park and easy find. Great day for a bike ride

Fun camo, but spotted easily.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache, napier92

There was a cache Here too!! When I was last here the tree was not caged off though.

Thanks napier92 for Coventry

Great camouflage!

I been in Coventry and I usually reside in Coventry. Now I can say I have found Coventry. A nice hide and well disguised. TFTC napier92.

This cache is very well camouflaged.
I think it deserves a fav point.
Thanks for the cache napier92

Find #1053 @11:05

A nicely constructed park and grab at a park that seems familiar. Several learner drivers passed by and it reminded me of learning to drive around this area too. TFTC!

Nice tree - TFTC

Out with xambo4u, we returned to Mill Park to do a few more caches in this area. Despite the forecast of 33 degrees followed by heavy rain and hail, we had a very successful day.
This was our first, and an easy find. Thanks napier92

Out and about with echidna44 clearing out some more in the North in 33 degrees heat the promise of rain. Finding it interesting to see the northern suburban sprawl with underground wiring - excellent. Nice easy find here . Thanks for the cache napier92

After claiming a very high D/T challenge cache in the You Yangs yesterday, only a two km walk but the walk there and back was the easy part, but the climb ,thorns and huge rocks proved a huge challenge for the ageing Bushfire who had done the same walk two years ago on his own but two years means a lot when your over eighty, but I made it, so today these caches were very easy but I am still feeling the effects of yesterday.
My very special caching partners, the suscoe’s invited me to tag along for a visit to this area which I have never visited before even though I have been caching since 2005.
I could not get over the number of great old Red Gums that seem to have been reserved with their own little bit of space and the number of old fallen huge old logs that have been given their own space as well.
On my day in this area I logged as I went with FLL, which simply means that I will follow up with a decent log ASAP. I had a please explain from sbrundan as to what it meant so now you know what it means and here is my full log as I said I would place tonight or as soon as possible.
Special thanks to all the cache owners whose caches that we have found today as without you guys placing caches we would be back in the early 2000’s when if you found two or three caches in a day you had a good day and travelled many km to get them, oh so different today.
Thanks napier92 for placing this cache.

Suscoe headed to Melbourne today in the great company of Bushfire.
We had decided to target some caches along the Plenty Road area and we enjoyed travelling around the Mernda, South Morang suburbs as well as part of Bundorra.
It was a delightful day with plenty of sunshine and a mild breeze for most of the day. It did get quite warm during the afternoon as the cool breeze seemed to disappear.

We had a terrific day and thanks goes to all the cache owners for showing us this area.

Thanks to napier92 for this hide, we are pleased to say that "no one was sent to Coventry" today.
We seem to remember coming here a few years ago for another cache.

Out and about with Trailstevo, on a 10km walk, which went wrong and ended up at 16km. Having reviewed the map and seen a few more cache being published in the area I thought we would do a lap. Certainly know we had covered some distance by the time we got back, but were rewarded with 14 (I think ) cache. Two of which were prior DNFs. Thanks for the exercise and adventure Napier92. People everywhere late at night so we very sneaky moved through the shadows with our night vision on and found it.

I have found a previous version of this cache but glad to go back for a return visit. TFTC.

Quick find with caching friend OzArtek.
TFTC napier92

Following 2peasinapod2012 on a caching trip today. This was find #2. Fantastic day for it too. A quick find here. Nice camo. TFTC napier92.

Well, that 10km walk with Gunks to do a Mill Park loop collecting caches turned into a 16km trek. Found all except one. Good mixture of hides. Plenty of muggles out early but got a bit lonelier once darkness descended. TFTC

Another great hide in a great park, found quickly signed and put back in it's hide. Thanks napier92 for getting me out again.
