The Secret in Braeside Park Braeside, Victoria, Australia
By gmj3191 on 25-May-20. Waypoint GC8QZC7

A quick find here in Braeside park with teamdfl after attending jascat's event. A good hide near the visitor's centre. TFTC

Having attended the event in this park I was now off to find some caches here. As we wandered around the AL here we passed this one. Very nice, a favourite point for it.

13:21It's good to be out and about after a solid month of processing ballot paper envelopes.We celebrated jascat's 4000th find, then n0w0rries and I joined LyonsPride3 on a walk to complete the Adventure Lab through the park.This was a more than convenient stop.Thanks, gmj3191.#9325

Thanks for another fun cache in a nice park.

very handy. Lovely day here today for caching.

Armed with the appropriate number this was a quick find while attending a nearby event today. What an amazing park- never been there before. TFTC

**09/11/2024, 11:44:00****Find #5875****Traditional Find #3467**As the event that I had been attending was winding down, I headed over here to find one of the few caches that I hadn't found in this park. Finding it was easy and consulting my phone provided me with the code to open it. I found a temporary log inside and signed that. I confirmed for the CO back at the event that a new log was required. **Thank-you to gmj3191 for placing this geocache**

LVsnooks and N headed over to Braeside today to attend jascat's 4000th cache milestone event and grabbed this cache while we were in the area. Thanks gmj3191 for placing this cache. Fave point awarded

Logbook replaced.

Found!

I parked nearby and walked towards GZ and checked out the mens shed firstthey have a good thing going refurbishing and selling bikes. I continued towards GZ. Shh.. I discovered a secret in Braeside Park hidden in plain site. Id guess it is definitely safe from a passing muggle of two. Thanks gmj3191 for placing the cache

Tftc! Got confused by the other similar containers but got there in the end!

Tftc! easy find - We need these sometimes!

Note to self, check co-ords and don't try to solve the wrong field puzzle.Find number 9009 on 21 September 2024. Traditional CacheThanks For The Cache

Thank you, found easily, my first ever experience with "exposed" cache.. lovely

I love seeing caches that are bold and in plain sight. It was an easy find and considering all the visitors to the park it was an easy grab. Tftc tnln sl

Tftc. I left a couple of small toys

Early start but was approximately tailgated into the park. Lucky guess with the code and then I was in. The first digit of the lock is frozen but, happily, is on the right digit. TFTC.

Found after a nice walk around the park.Thanking you for the Traditional Cache that you placed gmj3191

A quick find on this one. Thank you for the bold hide. TFTC W074

Loved it!Zsolt atya a !!!

Enjoyable parkland to take a wonder around ??

Thanks for another cache in the park, was a quick find after looking at the hint, log signed and returned everything back to its original position. All looks to be in good working order with this one.

Quick find thanks

Nice quick and easy find tftc

In between a practice soccer match and go karts Geoboy, his friend and I came to this park to do some treasure finding while we had some downtime. This was our second find.

Thrown by what was required, but easy with hint.

Nice and easy one. Our friend big brained it for us

In the area on a bus driving job today, so headed out on on the bike on a perfect caching day. My GPS was slightly lagging so I managed to walk right past this one. Soon realised, and had the cache open and the log signed. TFTC gmj3191

Thanks for this hideous in full view

Emily spotted it first.

I was in the general area today picking up a solved puzzle cache and I got that thought that all of us cachers get...*How about one more!*So after I found my solved puzzle cache I hopped in the geomobile and drove over to the [recommended parking coordinates](https://www.geocaching.com/seek/wpt.aspx?WID=3e363d41-1170-42af-89e5-a2438f88d5d0&RefID=fdddfb5b-c073-4cfe-8117-211bffe51627&RefDS=1). I then continued on foot. I have been caching in [Braeside Park](https://www.parks.vic.gov.au/places-to-see/parks/braeside-park) before and I always love it. The park is absolutely beautiful and with the sun shinning today, it made for a lovely walk.Once I arrived at GZ I was initially confused as I was thinking my phone must be off, however that is when I spotted the cache literally starring me in the face. *mmhmm... now how do I open it*Luckily, that problem was solved quite quickly after checking the hint. A big thanks goes to [gmj3191](https://www.geocaching.com/p/?guid=b4585843-0564-409a-aee2-b35dc0e22ecf) for the fun and creative hide. TFTC.**Cache Maintenance Status**The cache container was in excellent condition, everything moved and worked quite easily. The logbook was clean and dry and still had plenty of room for future cache finders to sign.

Cache is certainly in plain view. With not a soul around, we make quick work of accessing the logbook. Perfect, as the last cache took much more time than we thought it would.Returning to our car, I noticed a car with their keys in the door, with a couple of child seats in the back. I wrote a note, wrapped the keys inside and placed it on the front seat. My good deed of the day done.Thanks gmj3191 for this fun cache.

Nice easy find. Good quality cache.

TFTC beautiful park

Find 1 of 10 on a milestone-chasing day in Braeside and Mordialloc which was cut short by an injury to one of the participants, leading to an emergency dash back to the car and collection from a random park! Despite the painful injury a good time was had and some classic caches were found.First of the day with a target of making find 2 the big one - 12000! Nice to spot an easy one and have the code all ready to go. Thanks for placing, gmj3191!

Cool cache, cool location.

Currently trying to finish the year with a streak and so heading out daily, for a cache. Plus their are a few other caches I need for challenges. This was not my initial intended cache at lunch but I realises I was missing a crucial element to find the other one. So I was grateful for this placement as a backup. All good at GZ Thanks to gmj3191 for the fun and the adventure.

Needs a new logbook. Thanks for the great cache

Another good cache Thanks for this one

A trip to Braeside bought me to Braeside Park to get the caches that have been on the to do list for far too long.Nice hide, something different.Thanks gmj3191

I needed to go to a shop in Dandenong so I planned some caches around the trip. This was a nice quick one - no searching necessary. I'll give it a favourite for its simplicity.My thanks for the cache, gmj3191.

Nifty little cache, might need a new log after the next few people find it, but its still good for now. +1 TB visit.TFTC!

I love Braeside Park, but I don't get here much these days as I now have a geopup, i have just dripped him off at the groomers for the very first time. This find was certainly not what I expected. Love it. TFTF

Great find!

Tftc

Great find again, I have walked past this one many times before. Very easy to hide that we found it too, have left a trackable behind for the next finder!

Fun. Very easy. So easy was hard to find at first

I found it with rex46 . It’s cold on Saturday
Thanks

With dot558
This took longer than it should have as it was staring us in the face
Thanks for the cache
Two Tb visited

What a awesome park to stroll, thanks for bringing us out here

Thanks.

I walked in from the Red Gum carpark for some early morning exercise

No sign of humans around here this morning which made for easy access to the cache once the field puzzle had been solved

Unfortunately however the log book has gone missing, the only contents being a few small trinkets
I was able to hunt down a small piece of clean paper to use as a temporary log

Many thanx to gmj3191 for the cache. All in excellent condition, other than the missing log

Found by 4th mordi the rabbits

Great spot for a cache. Cheers!

Found on my first trip in this area after moving down here over the last few weeks. Great hide and had to find the information but got it!

My First Find. TFTC

Super cute find, found with PolarBearinaCoalMine. Love this park so much used to come here all the time as a kid. Such good energy here! tftc x

Ohmigoodness, so many muggles!!! But we got there eventually. Thanks for a lovely afternoon at Braeside Park.

We were here - Joodie & Joodax
after work walk, wine and relax!
gmj3191 Thanks for the cache and yellow dandelion.

I don't know how to describe the beginning of today better than exclaiming OMG . I will describe it a bit, because GC friend 4pazderi will undoubtedly be very happy with these logos .
Joodie is sick of the air conditioning. We forgot to book a car yesterday and the only one available, within a reasonable distance, is a BMW X5 for AUD 250 per day. Because there are 2 quite old caches within range that I'm interested in. Well, we only live once, so let's go for it . I finally managed to open the car, but I couldn't put Drive on the automatic. Joodie eventually figured it out. The exit from the underground garage went at a snail's pace, I still don't feel the size of the car. I've seen this crazy lane marking here where traffic at some intersections turns from the left lane while the right lane is for forward travel. My stomach is in my throat and at the first intersection of this type I find myself standing in the forward lane and the first car. I don't have much time to think, the green is burning. Cars here have turn signals on the right, strangely enough, so I throw the turn signals to the right, but BMW has wipers here (as in Europe). Panic. I automatically head into the right lane, which means in the opposite direction. I pretty much blocked the entire intersection. The drivers around are cool and let me drive through the intersection with the windshield wipers on. So OK. Fortunately, there are no more excesses. At the end of the day, I fill up with used diesel for 70 AUD, and since we missed the opening of the rental office, I pay for overnight parking. We manage to negotiate the price from 70 dollars to 50. To make it clear what all the hunter has to undergo to catch 2 caches .
After catching Devil Bend, we go north. On the way, we stop at a large amnobox, change the TB (which cannot be logged at all!) and insert our personal CWG. We admire the park with barbecue places, the birds chirping and we are angry at the weather that it is 22 degrees 38. In Melbourne!
Joodie recommends a visit to the nearby middle box. When we sneak up to it, we see that we need a battery. I feel defeated, but joodie is going head-to-head. And it's OK. There is a working battery inside. I love these caches .
I send joodie to the car and go to look at a small box nearby. Is fine.

From Czechia with love!

On approach, I was wondering where the cache could be hidden, and then I spotted it. You really can't miss it. There were very few people around, which was good. The log was quickly signed and I was on my way. Too easy.

A quick park and grab after a visit to a nearby nursery.
Thanks for the cache.

Quality cache! Thanks to Des too

Quick find after getting spidered out of The Growler nearby. Great to see Parks Vic getting involved! TFTC

Visited this cache back in October with my muggle friend......she's now my muggle GF
Nice cache, dropped off a TB.

Thanks for the cache.

Thanks for the cache. Nice one.

Scared me once I opened it ahah

Finally got after 2 attempts, early morning visit made it muggle free. TFTC

I volunteer at a tourist railway or two and this means I need to pass a *Railway Medical* exactly the same as the drivers at V/Line and the Met... and that means a trek across town to the authorised clinic in Dingley... annually, because of my age! And as you might guess, I combine that with an annual visit to a nearby *Wormhole* to swap some trackables.

I'm not sure why I didn't find this cache before but I decided it was time to change that today. After all, it is not what you would call a sneakily hidden cache!!!

Thanks **gmj3191** for the cache.

Not to hard only took a minute or two still fun! tftc

Foind it thanks took TB

We were very surprised to find this cache in plain sight. We have spent some time here, even helped paint the signs on the road. Pleased to visit again. Thank you for the cache.

An after-work caching expedition with Geoturtle37.

Love the “hidden in plain sight” hides.

Thanks for bringing us here today by placing this cache, gmj3191

Cool cache thanks!

Nice easy find

A nice cache in what could be a busy area. Reasonably quiet today. We retrieved the log without a problem. Thanks to gmj 3191 for the cache.

This tricky blighter took me a while to find, and along the way, some fool nearly knocked me down as they headed to the toilets! It all seemed a bit sketchy. The cache was located, and I had the code thanks to my visit to the other cache in the area.

Found today with my son.

found it

Thanks gmj3191 for bringing us here! Birds are loving the windy, damp day, as are the rabbits.
Solved the neat little puzzle.
Eloise at The Plaza

I parked in the close by carpark and walked to GZ. There was a person right at GZ… Luckily, I saw that there was a code so I just had to use my body to cover the cache so then the muggle wouldn’t take the cache. I opened it and logged my name and went to the bathroom. The muggle was intrigued it but luckily I mixed up the field puzzle. Then they asked me what the code was. I had to tell them what geocaching was.. After that, I headed off to the other caches in this wonderful park.

I visited 3 TB

Nice quick find for us today! Nice cache!

Having found some other nearby caches I moved the car and parked close to this cache. No trouble finding this cache. Great placement. Thanks gmj3191

Fun and quick find.

Found it , after a quick Google search the classic cache was opened and the log signed. I will have to cone back here someday and explore some more. Tftc

Found in the fading daylight as the sun turned the evening sky into a palette of reds, golds and greys. Spotted on approach and fortunately for me, not a muggle in sight. So many rabbits!
Thanks for the HIPS cache gmj3191

Not sure if we would've got it without the hint . Gotta love the cute bunnies roaming the place.

Nice end to our walk.

Great find

A quick find on a run through the park today.

I had to sit on a nearby bench and wait for some muggles to stop looking at the notice board before I good approach.

I love these ones that are in plain site like this!

thanks for the cache

As I was already in the park for the neighbouring cache I thought I'd take a short walk over to this cache.
Unobtanium redux! I enjoyed that cache and was pleased to find the same mechanism at this location. When you're on a winner, why change?

Easy as the previous finder and not Ninja Tortoise hadn’t even bothered to reset combo. TFTC
