Found it

Thanks for bringing us to this neighbourhood park. Some nice views of the city getting here.

Travel bug acquired

TFTC nice easy find and everything is dry and safe

After picking up the geodaughter from a brithday party there was time for a quick cache. After finding a geocache we'd already found - I must update the map we decided to head out to this one. Geodaughter was delighted to find actually money in the geocache! So everyone was happy. TFTC. Left a travel bug to carry on its journey.

Thanks for the easy find
My boyfriends first find coming along with me - he was pretty happy.
Left a swappable

Nice to see some full size caches for a change. Great first hide! TFTC

Be careful there is a hole with a orange net. It is not in the hole.

Thanks for placing your cache here Harold. Its a lovely park.

On our way to an event in the city via n0w0rries' for an early dinner... so of course a slight detour for a decent sized cache or two.

A nice quick park-and-grab. Though we parked on the street, unlike whoever left their wheel ruts in the middle of the reserve.

Thanks, MKSAFamily.

A quick and easy park and grab on our way to my house for a quick bite to eat before continuing on into the CBD for yet another event.
Thanks for the cache.

Nice direct find! Tyftc!
May the 4th be with you!

Cache 100 for the month. Cheers. Souvenir obtained.

Thanks MKSAFamily. Nice park, Nice quick find. Giddy up

Our first find on our 2 night adventure away camping and geocaching. TFTC

On the way home staying in Melbourne and picking up the last of the smilies. Thanks to the COs. TFTC.

On a trip from WA with Burns345, we choose particular caches to find along the way.
Cache found and logged.

New LGA.

Another new LGA here!

Very quick find.

MKSAFamily, I found Harold's Hide today. Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache.

Great little park. A quick find for us.

Yay!

Nice hide, easy to find

TwoEms are two newbies, and this was our very first find. We found it a few days ago, but being complete novices, we were short of a pen to sign our name. I can imagine this being a piece of cake for a well seasoned geocacher, but for us beginners, we appreciated the hint to help us along (thank you). We came back today—armed with a pen—to practice some stealth and sign our name. We waited for the rain, a cyclist to pass and no one else about, before we even attempted to cross the sodden wet grass. The fear was rising, emanating from those huge big windows. So we avoided making a beeline, and found a more surreptitious, roundabout way to cut out that line of sight. We finally made it, smiled to see the contents had changed, we signed the log, left an emoji, and stealthily made our way back out. This was a charming experience for our curious wide eyes, and an adorable place to find—Thank you.

We gave up after a while then found it

Tftc. Found with ease

Found it

Found it! Even in the rain!

The hint says paperbark, but there’s nothing in or around the tree there

This geocache was hidden really well thank you for setting this up

Found !

A nice quick cache to find today .. surprisingly no muggles in the park. Thanks for placing the cache

Quick easy find jsut what I needed after searching for one for over 40mins and still not finding it
TFTC

We found it but did not have a pen

The second one for the day and I found it with geospinifix and radioremedy in the paper bark tree but we still couldn’t log it because we didn’t have a pen.

Tftc

Easy

Fairly easy!

I thought this one was quite easy

Awesome just in time to log my one find for Geocaching World Record Day for 2022.. totally unfamiliar area, quick and easy little find. I added a toy. TFTC

I had a few hours to fill in between attending an appointment in Bulleen and starting my afternoon work shift in Heidelberg, so I took the opportunity to do some geocaching.
This was my first find for today and was very straight forward.
Thank you MKSAFamily for this cache.

*Found on the 31 Jul 2022 @ 12:27 pm.*
*Cache find # 13114.*

Over this way again on a taxi / learns run and had a few hours to fill in so I stopped off at this one for a look.
This one is a very straight forward hide that was found quickly.

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

Found with icw. The cache was in one piece and good condition after -e^ip's rescue effort last month. Tftc.

Another in the presence of. TFTC

Found this one easy enough, as it was strewn all over the area.

I collected the half dozen pieces and reassembled the cache and hid it in the logical spot.

TFTC !

Easy

Very fun, thank you

Easyyyyh

Found on the way home from Basketball. A nice place to stop and have our lunch too.
TFTC

Fairly easy one

Left a mora coin TFTC!

TFTC! 14 month old baby is getting angry and frustrated now so just a quick note thank you and we keep moving

First Geo cache ever! Super cool.

Needed some exercise after work thanks for the hide

It was in a tree. 5 star rating

TFTC!

Not a bad hide here. PrezDough and I made a detour here today and parked up nearby and made the walk down to this quaint little park.
Getting close to GZ and using the hint had us almost on top of the cache until a dog decided to alert the neighbourhood that “someone’s there”.
We quickly had to pen our names and depart before attracting too much attention. Unfortunate as we wanted to check pit the contents which looked healthy.
Anyway, the cache, container and log are in excellent condition.
I visited 5 TB.
TFTC.

TFTC!

Good find. Very easy.

It's always great to see a nice big container in a suburban park! TFTC

Visited to pick up the trackable.

Found. Dropped off a tb

Easy find - TFTC

Great little spot- thanks for the cache!

TFTC ,MKSA Family! Awesome hiding spot!!

Found it

There was the biggest whitest cockroach!

I found this cache today on my Doncaster to Heidelberg Geocaching Morning. That is three parks in a row that we were yet to find a cache in till today. This one was rather uncovered so I did a little to assist that. Thanks from D B-A

Fun hide but hint was a dead giveaway

Found with my trusty assistant. TFTC.

Apologies for the late log. Tarbit was in Tassie for a few weeks so I planned a Sunday of caching with SirJ-Oz whilst ensuring to stay in our revised (15km) limit. Today we just looked for an overlapping area where we both had a few unfound and then targeted whatever we came across in the nearby suburbs.

After a couple of finds nearby we headed on to this one. We approached on foot across the park and it was a little soggy underfoot so we had to pick our route towards the cache. Once at GZ we were out of sight and able to make the find. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables. Thanks for the cache MKSAFamily.

Find #4947. Found @ 12:09 with Annoying Tarbit

After many virtual puzzle solving evenings over lockdown Annoying Tarbit and I have solved lots of puzzles in various places around the state. With the travel restriction boundary still being 15kms from home, and with both of us being fully vaxed, we decided to meet up for some exercise... and ignore all the caches that we'd solved and hit some others that were in our overlap area.

A nice quick find in the expected location, but it was a soggy trip to GZ. The park seems to also function as a storm water retarding basin.

On approach to GZ we were concerned that a neighbouring muggle was gazing out of her window at us, and would observe our antics, but she disappeared from our view before we got there so we didn't have to use any diversionary tactics.

Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables.
Thanks for the cache MKSAFamily

Fabulous, a decent sized container in a suitable nook. TFTC

With the school holidays well and truly behind us, after day two, we needed an outlet. After school/work today we came down to Harold's Reserve. The playground was extremely busy today, but that just made it less obvious what we were doing. A pleasant find, not too hard. Funny to see a trackable stamped into the logbook!
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache MKSAFamily.
The kids were disappointed that the playground was too busy to be covid friendly so we decided to walk to Bent Willow instead of playing.

Easy find. Great for kids

Found it TFTC

Tftc

TFTC took the bouncy ball and left mints

Found it. First one we have ever done and we are hooked now! Thank you

Out for my 5km walk and a few local caches. Found made with the smell of a BBQ driftimgover the fence making me hungry.

Thanks to MKSAFamily for the placement and fun.

Great hide

Great hiding spot

Very nice spot

Fantastic! Well-hidden

Second find really cool hiding place

Just a quick caching detour on my way home from a longer caching detour.

Really a very good hide for the location - well done!

TFTC

Out at an appointment for my son today, we were a bit early so decision to grab a quick cache. Although there was a lady and child in the park, I managed to retrieve the cache with no attention drawn to us. Thanks for the cache.

I am trying to catch up on my logs during the current Covid lockdown so this log is a tiny bit late. The geobeagles needed walkies and their human companions needed their daily exercise and cache. Even though this park is only about 3 km from home we hadn't got around to looking for this cache and in fact we had never been to this park before.

We parked in Eama Court and wandered through the park to GZ. Surprisingly there were no muggles in the park today and luckily we could not see anybody peeking out of the nearby house's huge windows. As we approached GZ we spotted the cache as it was in full view. We retrieved the cache and signed the log at 3:50 pm. We took a pathtag and left a Rubiks cube. We then returned the cache to its hiding spot and put some natural camo over it so hopefully it's hidden a lot better.

Thanks MKSAFamily for the cache and for introducing us to this lovely local park. The geobeagles really enjoyed all the new smells so we will be back soon.

TFTC MKSA family. Nice hide. Jimmytherat

We found it!! Our first time doing this with a three year old. Hardest part was making her leave something behind!

Out and about with GJMMelb and quiet1_au today, after a very long break as I was stuck in Qld for most of the year. Quick find by J. TFTC

First proper caching outing - albeit fairly brief - for "Team FourThorn" (G&J of GJMMelb, lochb and myself). G&J arrived first and decamped their geomobile for the covered picnic table enroute to GZ. I arrived next after a slightly roundabout approach due to an arguement with my antiquated car GPS vs expected direct route via Google Maps... A little while later lochb arrived and we headed for GZ proper. Reading back on previous logs I must say those windows have got to be some of the largest I've ever seen, but thankfully no nosy muggles to contend with today!... J' took the lead and headed right for the likeliest spot - I confess I was distracted by the possibly not-quite-legit/non-indigenous Rock Correa (C. glabra) planting nearby... - and came up with the goods. I think this could very well be our first team caching find for the year - if not, it's got to be pretty close to it (or so it seems at least!)... TFTC
