Nice quick find here after dodging the dog crap around the place. Log book is full. Thanks.

Cache has been checked and is still in place.

Found it!!!! Thanks so much. Kids loved it

A nice quick find whilst driving around the urban streets

Out trying to complete the East Brunswick Brewery Tour adv lab on foot and this one was on the way so thought I would stop in and grab it. Quick find in the dark of this familiar hide. TFTC

In Melbourne with some time to kill so I jumped on a tram and went for a wander collecting a few caches. What a neat little park. Busy with locals out and about. Quick find here. Thanks for the fun and adventure

With the GPS having an attack of the wanders the clue was vital. TFTC

Out and about with omegaman, there are always plenty of laughs while we are turning caches into smiles.This is one of the caches found today.Thanks FMH1977 for the cache.

A quick find thanks to the hint. Tftc

I found this cache today on my Mega Walk #18 - a 22,000 step walk firstly around Coburg, then from Fawkner and onto Brunswick. I picked this one up whilst on a walk around the Brunswick Brewery Ad Lab. Even when I knew where it was, I still could not see it until I got up close, which is a good thing. Unfortunately, after finishing the AdLab, I did not get back for the bonus cache because, as I was walking, it was now too far from where I had ended up, so that one will have to wait until the next trip. Thanks from D B-A

Needing some exercise and having missed today's event and city and fitfully working on a challenge, I decided to start at Fleming Park, walk along the Merri up to Pentridge and have a go at the newly created series centred on the site. I didn't quite realise that the whole trip including caches would result in roughly 19.5km of walking but I can tell you I felt it on the way back to the car as I navigated the service-laden Sydney Rd. footpath.Seeing as how this is the portion of the log which will serve as a common bit of text to all my logs of the day I want to take this opportunity to have a bit of a rave about the Pentridge series. I can see it wasn't appropriate to nominate for the 2023 Victorian Cache of the Year Awards but I'll be certainly nominating the series as best-in-class for the 2024 awards.This is **exactly** what geocaches are at their best: cheeky & brilliant camo, well chosen spots for hides that don't have high levels of muggle traffic, meticulously researched cache text that informs a cacher about what they are seeing as they navigate the site, accurate sets of coords and finally coverage of the bulk of a fairly large area. Well done GJMMelb a real tour de force and many thanks for a very enjoyable afternoon.My logs will include this standard blurb and then a comment or two about each cache separated from this blurb by a dividing line. ---Many thanks to FMH1977 for putting this cache out. On the day I found it I was understandably more concerned with finding it with the least chance of being unobserved by a muggle. Arriving in the afternoon maximised my chances I'm sure I was unobserved. If it does go missing, I'd suggest attempting to relocate this to a less observed (if possible) part of the park as it would be a shame to see it archived and lose all the well researched and informative historical text.I congratulate Moreland (now Merri-bek) Council and its residents on their far-sighted wisdom. My local council is only now beginning to realise the problem of an increasing population with the least amount of open space in the whole of Victoria.

A quick stop on the way in to the dinner event in the city. Thanks for bringing us here by placing this cache, FMH1977 ~~

This was a nice quick find on our way to a dinner event in the city. Thanks for placing the cache for us to find. It was nice to put a face to the CO of this cache at the event. Glad to meet you.

Outnabout for some solo caching while in town for a couple of days. This one was a chance to pick up another LGA. Its always a great day for caching. TFTC FMH1977

In Melbourne for a band tour after playing the Port fairy festival and thought Id go for a walking tour and geocache at the same time.Lovely spot for a cache and an easy find.Thank you

I like your rock

Thank for the geo

In the area this afternoon and made a speedy find with some familiar camo. Took the TB for further adventures. Thanks for the history of this area and drawing it to our attention. TFTC

Quick and easy walking to dinner! Tftc

Enough room for a trackable tag: chasing foodie photos around the world.

A quick find on a evening walk. TFTC

Couple of Finnish vanlifers traveling around this beautiful Australia with Matilda the campervan. Stopping here and there to enjoy life without any plans.After getting everything set up and visiting some friends, Mntti1 and I began our travels couple months ago. We have been house/pet sitting around Melbourne and during little evening walk we ended up here too. Thank you for the cache!

On secondment to Melbourne, Australia, combined with short holidays here and there. Day 7/74, Sunday, it was all about geocaching and relaxing. I had so much fun. The best part of the day was a really interesting and long discussion in a tram with an American guy that was spending a working holiday year in Australia. But the geocaches were good too. This was the first actual cache of the day (after some lab caches). I found the camo quickly... but no logbook. Then I found the logbook from the ground nearby. Then I found the thing that covered the logbook, also nearby. Odd. Well, not they are all back together. Everything in good condition, no worries. Thank you for the cache and greetings from Vaasa, Finland! Logged with [GCDroid](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gcdroid).

The hint had me looking for something else in the wrong spot. Found easily after I broadened my search slightly.

On my way to a housewarming. Time for a cheeky stop over to grab a new cache. Nice easy find, cheers

Was out thrifting for my partner's costume for a work-do. Grabbed this while we were out. TFTC

TFTC!

Cool

Found at 15:47
Out for a few caches while of my way home on a Friday afternoon and this was the next stop. I was distracted nearby until I looked up the hint.
Thanks FMH1977 for the cache

I’ve been taking a bit of a break from caching lately and haven’t found any in a few weeks.

Today I drove into Brunswick East to go buy some modular synths so I decided to go for a walk and find any nearby caches afterwards.

After I looked in the right place, I quickly found the familiar container, log signed and replaced as found. Additionally I dig the metal themed hint, even if it’s not a band I listen to particularly often.

Happy to report that the cache is in good condition and the log nice and dry.

Tftc

I needed a cache for my calendar and so was hoping for a quick stop here before heading to Blues dancing. I began to worry when I started reading previous logs and the hint didn't help me too much as the cache wasn't where that suggests exactly. But eventually my geosenses kicked in and I saw something out of the usual and there was the cache.

Thanks for placing and maintaining a cache for us all to find!

A lot of rummaging around for this one but finally had it in hand.tftc!

Clever hide

Amazing find with the geo kids! We were going to leave a trackable but we didn’t think it would fit! TFTC. Took a coin, left a coin.

$2 still there less discounted opportunity cost re recent CPI rises: David

Bloody roots!!

Very quick find and a bench nearby to sign the log. Someone left a $2 coin for the next cacher.

Awesome camoflauge. I had to use a hint because it was really well hidden. It took about 10 minutes to find.

Really cool spot cool case HOTO IS A HINT

Quick easy find on the way home from work. Thanks for the hide.

I'm in the area for work this morning and decided to swing past this cache. I know this area well as it's the home grown to the Fitzroy Dockers. It's where all is West Aussies gather to play a game of footy. Fitzroy Dockers vs West Coast Eagles!!

Cache was found very quickly. Signed and replaced ready for its next visitor.

Thank you

Too many muggles and people in the backyard of the adjoins house

Third time's a charm. I came down here with my lunch and ate while I waited for some little muggles to scram. I checked the map with satellite view and found it where I did not originally expect to. Also found was a spiders nest, so be careful! TFTC

Finally! I told Mr O’H we would get ice cream if he helped me. He is my nemesis cache killer. Went in circles a bit, a previous log photo helped tftc

Cache was still in place. Just need to look a little harder

A large branch has come down with recent winds very close to GZ. Might need to be careful trying to retrieve this one. I'm still trying.

The fallen branch does not obstruct access to the cache and it is easily accessible without touching or being particularly close to the fallen branch.

Wondering if the newly fallen branch at GZ means that this one needs maintenance - no luck today

Going to disable this one looks like it might be gone. I’ll put a replacement in tonight.

No luck. Lots of bugs and a dead pigeon though. I'll keep trying

Gah! So many people say quick find! Deary me! I'll be back

On my walk to parkrun I stopped for the find. Took longer than it should have as I was at the wrong spot!?!

TFTC.

Probably spent more time than I need to on that one! TFTC

That took a while... two of us looking for 15 minutes or so, eventually found it. The clue isn't exactly what you're looking for.. think about branching out. Tftc.

Also.. find number 200! Here's to many more

Needed to look up the clue, but a quick find after doing that.

One of my favourite finds!!

Found with the beautiful xxx_perturbed_xxx
Tftc!

My partner zerospooky found it left a teeny tiny gift
Thanks for the cache!

Managed to find it even with sun glasses on. Council staff was mowing the lawns but didn’t seem to mind. Great clue, took me back TFTC

Love a creatively camouflaged cache. We normally take forever to find caches but can finally say "quick find". TFTC

A quick set of caches on a wetich afternoon.
Took Nothing, Left Nothing.

I've looked for so many of these by the seem to be taken by the magic fairy. How the fuck does anyone find these?!?!?!

Thanks for the cache.

Didn’t take too long to find on a lovely sunny Melb winter afternoon, a few people kicking a footy on the oval but otherwise quiet. New log is great Thanks for the cache

New logbook added, cache is in place and is ready to be found.

Another camouflaged item had us fooled for a second, but persisted with the surrounding area and found it after 5-10mins. LOG BOOK FULL. Tftc

Nice! Went just before it rained so lesser people think we're weird.

Concrete jungle

Thanks FMH1977 for the cache very interesting to learn about the history of the park...it took quite some time for the park to be opened from the residents association expressing the need for the park! Well done for them!

Found it

Thank u

Quick find in the busy Fleming Park. Lots of foot traffic but the nearby bench helped out. TFTC

I had been nominated as the family taxi driver and had an hour to spare between 'fares'. I decided that it was time to make some progress on Reach the Peak with just a week to go.

This was the first for the night. Although there were a few people in the park it was clear at the GZ so I could make the quick find. TFTC.

We quickly enticed the local muggle sitting on the nearby seat into caching.
The intro of “ don’t mind us , we are playing a game” gave us the Pokémon Go cover.
As he got more interested we revealed so much more. Last we left and he was googling geocaching.Com!
We found the cache, appropriately disguised and quickly spotted.
TFTC, the lovely park and all the well researched history.

On a ride with Mountainmik and mizzone we decided to grab a few caches. Mountainmik spotted the camo. Enjoying the hints!

Good one! There is a bench where I can enjoy this find.

Found this with Lindamarta. TFTC

Drop pin doesn’t seem to be quite right but fun cache! Thank you!

T. F. T. C. A nice easy find. The roads were very busy today with road works.

This was a quickie - Sheridan, Luke & Georgia

Another quick find with Angus.

Found it

Out on a bike ride today in the beautiful spring weather and found myself nearby. Took me a little while to locate the hide and then had to find my best opportunity to grab it amongst everyone else out and about enjoying the weather. Thanks for the cache FMH1977.

Great find!

We loved this one. Nearly missed it.

Thanks for the cache!

17:37
Revelling in the fact that expanding our allowed range from home to ten kilometres has allowed me to cache again, I picked a walking route that should net a handful of finds, and started wandering the streets and pathways of Brunswick.

After visiting the amazing Annie Borat community resource, I took the laneways east to Fleming Park, which, in the sunshine, was quite busy. Fortunately, it was quiet enough in this corner for a quick search, before I relaxed at the convenient park bench to stamp the log.

Thanks, FMH1977

For once an easy find, even with many muggles. TFTC

Nice Sunday walk TFTC

Found it. A bit wet inside.

Easygoing

Found it quickly

Nice camo. Accidentally clicked on a photo that gave me a huge clue.

On a little stroll in the sun. While I was looking on the bench Sphadlow was checking the surrounds and soon had it in his hand. TFTC

Great camo close to home! TFTC
