Love the background noise.

Path was pretty busy today which made it challenging but after checking all the spots I soon had the log signed and replaced as found.Happy to report that the cache is in good condition and the log nice and dry.Tftc

With dot558 in area to start the day with a smileGreat place to come toThanks

With rex46.we were lucky our timing was great as we had the place to ourselves for 10 min so was able to get in and out before anyone came along

I carefully regarded GZ and wondered where to start searching. I stuck my hand out and found the cache had dropped into it. The Saturday afternoon was fine and cyclists, walkers, joggers and doggy people were out and about but timed passing GZ to suit my finding and returning the cache. Tftc.

Great spot & fun

Saw a comment that said zip tie helped and can confirm this no helped me as well! Thank you so much for the comments and the hider - had a blast

TFTC! Found with friend.

Tricky but great!!

Very creative hiding spot, the camera trick worked like a charm

Careful where you put your fingers. Found a red back spider.

My first Aussie cache!! TFTC

Out and About today to pick up some caches on this beautiful sunny sunday! With the main goal in mind being me grabbing a nearby Earthcache and some other odds and ends before it gets a little too hot for my liking. With no real major issues in the end a handful were finished and I slowly made my way back home for a nice cold glass of water. Thanks for the cache and the little adventure.

Great spot

A quick find in the drizzle here today. The creek is running wild. Thanks For The Cache

I couldnt find this cache on either side of the bridge I tried screws and tops of the metal fence but I couldnt find anything I looked at the rocks for small objects but still nothing.

On second try after reading the comments WE FOUND IT!! Thank you for putting down your comments everyone!

A day trip to Ashburton area via public transport from Ballarat with Chook and Micaparamedic - some lovely rail trails and grassy areas which surprises me as I haven't been to this area before. Weather was perfect - a great day out to grab a few caches.walI'm really enjoying the sunshine and the rail trail walk - it's actually very busy - thanks for placing this cache.

In the area today enjoying the glorious summer sunshine. A quick find here while admiring the bridge. The info on how it eventually got built was very interesting. TFTC cherryslice88

At last we found this cache! Dont know we missed it before

Found it. Nice design idea. Forgot to bring a pen!

Zip tie helped ! Log slightly wet. TFTC

Fun lil bridge!!!

such a nice spot for a cache!

Easy

Has a magnetic lid pretty hard at first, but you will find it

Tftc

In the area for sport and remembered it was Earthcache Weekend, so had to find the closest Earthcache and what ever else was around.This was the first find and a good spot to park the car. Nice easy find to start with.Thanks for the cache Cherry Slice 88Hunter

Hop off the train, cross the bridge and found the cache on a lovely morning after the rain.

Found it on my 2nd go, a nice quiet ride here. Cant believe I didnt find it last time- was way too easy for me to spend ~20 minutes looking for it, even though there was a person drilling that tilted sign and had to leave. Thanks!

trickier than expected but eventually found! was difficult hiding from muggles but worth the challenge. Thanks cherryslice!!!

Found it with Smallishfish!!!

Found it

Out for a bike ride, and spotted 2 other cache hunters looking 'suspicious' Said "hello" and logged the cache. TFTC

Yey! Cool gadget

Fun

TFTC

A nice quick find on this glorious winter’s day. Thank you Cherryslice88 for placing and maintaining Solway Street Bridge for us to find today.

Pretty hard but got there in the end

No cache, lots of spiders though

Nice find on a cold day

Easy find

I had a lunch-time dental appointment in Camberwell... and so afterwards came looking for some caches in the southern end of Boroondara for an LGA challenge. I needed to test a few locations for this one as the indicated GZ was not the closest possible hiding location... but I got there in the end.

Thanks **Cherryslice88** for this cache.

TFTC put my fingers in places that made me uncomfortable but came up with the goods

Out and about for another day to satisfy latest souvenir requirement. I tried for this one once before, but there were too many muggles passing by to be able to give it a good look. Today, I timed it perfectly, as there was a gap in the traffic. Fortunately, I managed to find the cache immediately, so was able to log it an replace it before the muggle traffic began again.



Thanks to Cherryslice88 for the cache.

A spot of caching after work with RoamingHowie. Not many left around my work area, so made the half hour trek to this part of town instead.

A dnf redemption! Quickly found by RoamingHowie after the muggle with the doggle moved on.

Thanks for bringing us here by placing this cache, Cherryslice88

An afternoon of caching before some reconnaissance work with OzHockeyChick.

This was a DNF redemption after the cache had been muggled on our last visit. We had to wait a while for a walker and her dog to eventually move on but it was a quick find after that.

Thanks Cherryslice88 for adding this cache to the worldwide collection for us all to enjoy.

Found it by Shannon7li - TFTC

Another geocaching day with lzxlizicha!

Walk on a nice autumn evening with my partner and managed to find this cache after a bit of poking. Difficult to retrieve in between muggles but worth using the hint.

Found your cache Cherryslice88, Thank you so much for placing it.

Enjoying riding the ebike along the tracks around Ashburton and doing with some Adventure Labs as well. Found it and thanks Cherryslice88 for placing this cache.

Found by Mary and David at 12:30. Doing the Gardiners Creek Ad Lab, which took us right by this cache from our chosen parking spot. Progressing slowly as we keep getting distracted by nearby caches. Love the rocks below the bridge. Took us a while to investigate a few possible spots with our old eyes and fingers before we struck the right one. What do they say about mad dogs and elderly cachers out in the midday sun? Our thanks to Cherryslice88.

This one blends in nicely. We made a successful sneaky grab and sign inbetween muggles passing by. Thanks Cherryslice88!

Catching up on some logging. A full log to follow this one, thank you.

Out with Rebel Acts, possibly caching for the last time this year.
So happy that the weather is cooler today after the last few hot days this week.
Thanks for your fun geocache.

Out and about with My good caching mate Omegaman1971, there are always plenty of laughs while we are turning caches into smiles.

This is one of the caches found today. A nice quick find here.

Thanks Cherryslice88 for the cache.

Pilot the super sleuth and I joined up with Lynjoh to attempt a night cache in Port Melbourne. As we meandered towards home, we stopped here and, being late at night, we had no muggles to contend with.
The container was found quite quickly, and the log signed.
Thank you Cherryslice88.

A couple of walkers around. The cache was found after a few minutes although the location didn’t quite match the map. Thanks to Cherryslice88 for the cache.

Done patience and we have finally found it

Easy to find, a little difficult for us to retrieve.

The hint is helpful so use it

Couldn't find it. Just nowhere for it to ve

I was a little concerned after looking at all the DNFs, but I found the cache after looking at it for a few minutes. It's easier when you can recognise a familiar cache style!

The cache had fallen from its place, and I ensured it was facing the correct way up. The log was all dry, and while the cache was a little dirty, it was all good. Thanks!

This cache was found after a little poking about between muggles.

Thanks to Cherryslice88 for the fun and the adventure.

No luck today with the boys

I have the first name in the new log

Finally, the opportunity to go bike riding and do some maintenance on a glorious spring day. After performing the appropriate maintenance here I ended up going for a much longer ride than anticipated. But it was well worth it.

Was disabled but my enable button isn't showing. Let's try again

See below logs
My enable disable button is really playing up

Might be muggled

I didn’t find the cache today after a semi-extensive search. What I did find was a loose bolt. This has been reported to the council.

unfortunately didn’t find

We were making the most of the first sunny day for awhile and thought that we would get out and do a little bit of caching and while doing an adventure lab one of the stages bought us near here.

Unfortunately there was a gardener working close by and rather than risk compromising the cache we left this one for another day.

Definitely some sleight if hand needed stashing it again!

Spent 20 mins looking with no luck
