An odd spot to find a plaque like this. We're true blue Aussies, we love Vegemite! An easy find; the top of the cache container is missing. Thanks for this cache giggida

In Melbourne for work so it was time to catch some random trans and find some caches. Such amazing houses in these suburbs. Very different to where I grew up (suburbia) and where I live now on average in the country. Thanks for the cache.
 
Nice, easy find. Lid is missing, so will need replacing. TFTC

09-Sep-23
In town for a concert today, and took the opportunity to search out some local caches afterwards.
I am well familiar with that great institution, Vegemite.
I was a happy little Vegemite upon finding this tiny container.
As noted by previous finders, it is sans lid, but the log is still dry and in good condition.
TFTC giggida ??

Find 877 for the tribe.

Yes this was a happy little vegemite. Although I missed the plaque in my excitement!

Find it amazing that you have seats to rest on smack bang in the middle of the road. Your trams are something different as well. How many near death experiences on this trip?! I must say the view in the afternoon sun was A plus today with the Autumn leaves and what turned out to be fairly mild weather. And if I may say so a sensational feed had at a nearby cafe. Everything done right, of course including the coffee! ️
Thanks for hiding this one here. All in good order and condition.
 
21-May-23
A very sneaky hide, which is much appreciated.
TFTC.

Out today to push my score closer to the next milestone. The weather wasn't great, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I tried for this once before, but the cache had been muggled. Today, with no-one around, it was a nice, quick and easy find.



Thanks to giggida for the cache.
 
05-May-23
Find 16 of 26 along with 5 DNFs on a 40km bike ride from the CBD to Docklands, Port Melbourne, St Kilda and Elsternwick before mixing it with rush hour traffic back to the CBD.

Ah, caching. Would never have looked at this rock otherwise. Fair to say that we think marmite >>> vegemite but "chacun a son gout" as our French cousins might say. Quick find once we saw the coords were over there.

TFTC giggida!

Thanks to an appointment in Albert Park we found ourselves in the vicinity of this cache. There were caches closer to where we were, but T5.0s requiring climbing equipment were not an option for us today. This however, was a pleasant, not too long walk from our point of origin and a quick and easy(ish) find once we got to GZ. Just love the camo. FP from us.

The cache was in good condition when we found it.

SL. TFTC giggida.

Ticking off all the caches near home, I walked to this cache where I had a good look in the obvious spot but no luck. It wasn’t until I stood back and found it laying on the ground nearby. I’ve put it back where i think it should be. TFTC, we love these sticky ones
 
31-Dec-22
We were heading back from a day at the beach and we decided to look for a cache on the way home. This one was on our route so we stopped for a look. After exhausting a lot of potential options and coming up empty handed, we decided to head back to the car and accept defeat. It was at that point I trod on the cache that was lying in the grass (and not that close to GZ). Glad to make the find! I put the cache back where I thought it should be. TFTC giggida.

Happy New Year!

Replaced today

Add me to the DNF list. Even though there's a find in the middle, I'm guessing this one really is missing, so marking as Needs Maintenance. But thanks for bringing me to this interesting landmark anyway!
 
27-Oct-22
This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Amazing piece of local history. Vegemite these days can be found in nearby Port Melbourne / Fishermans Bend vicinity.
 
20-Aug-22
Ingenious. This should be in fear factor
 
14-Aug-22
A great cache hidden in plain sight. I even commented on what we were seeing beforehand, when we couldn’t find it. After reading the clue , then we appreciated its clever camouflage. TFTC

*Found on the 9 Aug 2022 @ 9:19 pm.*
*Cache find # 13153.*

I was needing a few finds on this day and as I had to come to St.Kilda it worked out well to find a few around this area.
I arrived a GZ and looked all over the object before looking in the right spot, the log was then signed and I was on my way.

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

*The "Slow Way Back To The Station" Adventure #4*
I was up for a community beach clean at Sandridge. But surely I shouldn't waste a train trip on just that, should I?
I found this distinctive cache, but there was no log inside. I added a temporary replacement.
Thanks heaps giggida!
