Spent quite a while Looking but no prevail

Obligatory geocache while I travel for work. Thought I was going to be stumped because this took me a long time. read through some previous logs which encouraged me to keep searching furtherTFTC.

Love a good cammo the building site for the suburban rail loop east is busy at 19:30 as an fyi

Fun find by Haz101

Found by The EmpireThe Empire cruised across Victoria's vast landscapes, a journey fuelled by anticipation and the thrill of reconnecting with The Rebel, their paths converging in a legendary meeting and a Parma at the pub in Warragul.Driving through Glen Waverley and Mount Waverley offered a delightful glimpse into the vibrant and diverse life of these suburbs. Glen Waverley's energetic, multicultural vibe complemented Mount Waverley's serene, family-friendly atmosphere. Thanks for the cache n0w0rries, another SideTracked cache off the list!-M

At first I saw very confused by the hint- sort of wandering around aimlessly. But then I noticed what it was referring, and it all clicked into place. Sneaky hide! TFTF

Found it great cache and very well thought of

Tftc quick stop by while on our way to get a pen

Found this one on a rainy night after dinner. We didn't sign bcs we forgot a pen. Very nice cache tho!

After having walked along Mullum Mullum Creek for the past couple of walks I thought I'd change scenery and shorten travel time by caching around a couple of train stations.My intent was greater than time and other constraints and instead of finding two caches off the train at either end of my walk I ended up just walking between Mt Waverley and Glen Waverley stations.As for the cache, I think it ought to be the recipient of more FPs given the camo and effort put into creating it. Thanks for a well conceived and located cache, n0w0rries.

The closest cache to our hotel...and it's a Sidetracked! Didn't know they had spread to Oz. Mrs E hopped out for a nice quick find, the first of these we've found over here. Thanks for placing...

Funny...Zsolt atya a !!!

Heading across Melbourne to visit family... and left early enough to find a few more caches in the Monash LGA... my target is 100 so I hope there is enough for that. Another *SideTracked* cache... how could I not look for it? Clever hide, I had one like that once for a different *SideTracked* cache... until the whole thing got taken away!Thanks **n0w0rries** for putting this cache here.

Found while killing time before going to see a movie with a group of friends. I used to frequent this area a lot when I was in high school as it was the "cool" place in the south east suburbs but not as busy as Chadstone. Thanks for bringing me back on a walk down memory lane. TFTC

Late night find tonight after plenty of tournaments getting ready for the state championships. So with less than 40 minutes left in the day I knew I was running out of time for my streak...... why does this keep happening haha. Regardless, driving on up from my friends house in Clayton, I found myself nearby with more than expected traffic. Parking pretty much on the cache it was quickly spotted and signed. Thanks for the cache and the little adventure

Cheeky hide but found thanks to some hints in the logs!

TFTC

Nice easy find. TFTC

Found it with 46x

With dot558 in area so looked at found this oneThanks for the smile

Out and about with the kids while the wife was visiting her sick grandma in a local aged care facility. The car park was full and here I was thinking we may not be able to go have a look. Next thing I see reverse lights within metres of GZ. The kids were so excited, thanks for placing this very clever hide.

Log replaced.

Catching up with a former work colleague for lunch today and I left home a bit early to hunt a couple of caches in transit and this one was next. After parking in the general areas closer to the main strip took the short walk to get to GZ. Once there I had a quick look over the area and thought - maybe there - and it was! Thanks to n0w0rries for this one - note that the log sheet is getting very full and will need replacing.

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. That took some time for a hide I was familiar with and checked but Jo luck at first. Finally got it with PAF confirming the idea.Thanks to n0w0rries for the fun and the adventure.

Super quick and easy find. TFTC

Yep Glen Waverley line done and dusted

Great hide although the previous finder was very, very strong! In all my years living here, or attending the nearby school I had never been here. Miserable day in Melbourne but geocaching is an all weather sport. Greetings from Vancouver Canada where I need to make my own contribution to this series!Thank you n0w0rries for the cache.

YAY - I found "Side Tracked - Glen Waverley" today. I was staying just nearby and couldn't resist looking for a cache. I was hoping that the area would be relatively quite at 9.00am as today is the Grand Final Friday Public Holiday - and it was - to a certain extent. There were still several empty parking spots and not too many people hanging around. And, looking around at the commuters that were passing by - I'm guessing that many may have been going to the Grand Final Parade judging by their dress sense - there was a bit of a sea of black and white. Anyway, they weren't that interested in what I was up to and the area wasn't chockablock full like it would be/could be on a normal Friday morning. Cache was found, log signed and all replaced as quickly as I could. Thanks n0w0rries for setting up and maintaining this cache. A favourite from me - this is a terrific hide and great container.PS: The Troll Dolls [TN6TR0] were with me today on my great caching adventures.

Catching the train home and decided to grab this one Id been eyeing off for a while. Quick find, but loved the hide! TNLNSL, TFTC.

Found.

Was in the area for lunch. Hadnt been here for a while so sidetracked for a quick clever find. Thanks n0w0rries for the cache.

Nice quick find, logs were very helpful!

The other logs gave me the hint I needed to find it. Lovely little trinket.

Came in via the dead end street. Looked in one spot, then found another almost identical, which revealed a cheeky sneaky hide! Thanks for placing this here n0w0rries!

Couple of impromptu caches to brighten a commute with bus replacements

Find # 8562

Back in Melbourne town again! Making the most of the opportunity to duck out for a few hours of caching fun. Seeking out the occasional challenge or two, or trying to mop up as many solves as I can to keep that long list under control. Seems to increase faster than it decreases

On the way to restaurant to meet my partner’son and his wife for dinner. I found your cache and signed the log n0w0rries, thank you so much for placing it.

I love the sidetracked caches and this one was better than most I've found (Ringwood is winning). I was in the area collecting caches for the June (it's not a streak - streak) Challenge and these drive/train by caches are perfect for that.

At GZ, I was expecting a certain type of cache, and was suprised by the better style. Thanks for adding it to the series!

*Found on the 17 Jun 2023 @ 2:13 pm.*
*Cache find # 14789.*

After the event earlier today, I decided that the rest of today would be about cleaning up the caches that I always drive passed but don't stop at, this being one of them.
It wasn't easy finding somewhere to park but eventually found a spot, headed to GZ and was able to make a fairly quick find.

**Thanks to n0w0rries for placing this cache.**

Nice quick grab. Great hint. Tf

I was in the area today, so I looked for something nearby to entertain me. I located this one before the flood of people arriving on the train.
Thanks n0w0rries.

Really good hiding spot

TFTC, very clever placement. Was expecting a different type of cache. Nice surprise and also a good clue.

I (Geo-Son) am heading off to the annual Anzac Eve footy match and before meeting some friends I had about a 10 min window to grab this cache before the train arrived. After getting dropped off, a brisk walk over to GZ and a very prompt find made. Tftc n0w0rries

Found it in the first palce I looked.

Came along with goingplaces2 to gather some more sidetracked caches for the collection. We had a good day, though wet, with both names being added to each log found. All was good here. TFTC.

Today we decided to get sidetracked with ilook4geo and concentrate on some of the many sidetracked caches available on the eastern side of the city and further out. It rained of course, but that did not hinder our plan too much. This was a nice quick and easy find and the log soon had two more names added to it. Thanks go to Pinkpiggy7 for adding to the sidetracked series by placing this cache.

A busy spot but thankfully not many muggles about. A quick grab, log, replace & escape - TFTC

Found while waiting for our yummy hotpot dinner booking nearby. No muggles around so was a quick find. TFTC!

We are newbie geocachers and this was such an interesting hide to us! TFTC

I parked in the dead end street and got sidetracked to start with, but then had an easy find. Thanks n0w0rries.

On a trip to find caches in this LGA for a challenge, this was our first for the day, with TanSaf.
Thanks for placing it here n0w0rries, a clever hide.
Here’s hoping the rest of the day will be a successful, off to a good start.
Another of the SideTracked series ticked off the list.

Collecting Cybergran V from Glen Waverley station ready for our day of caching. This was the obvious first cache to find. Quick park and find. TFTC

Out this way to buy myself a new toy (sewing machine), thought I'd stop for this one on the way back

This geocache was humbling!!

Came here with my partner 5 times over the past month and only just found it! We had come during the night every other time so didn't notice how shiny the top part of the pole was...

Came back during the day today for one last try, immediately spotted abit of a difference in appreance! Incredibly well hidden and was so excited to have found it!! Thanks!

T4TC!

Really cool cache hide, great way to start the Lunar New Year! TFTC

#25 nice and easy well done didn't do it from the train but I like the idea TFTC

Getting and didn't find it. Maybe next time

We went back 10 seconds later and found it!!!!

Nice one on a hot day. Tftc

Found with Rohkad, nice hide! Love it. Tftc

Nice quick find, clever hide. TFTC

Last cache for the day, after finding caches at Valley Reserve and surrounding areas.
Always love a SideTracked cache. As you said yesterday n0w0rries, we have well and truly secured second spot in the list of countries with SideTracked caches.
Those apartments are unusual, but we can see the convenience of them, especially with the lack of all day parking around here.
The cache is well hidden. Thanks for the cache n0w0rries and Merry Christmas to you and +wife.

Classic metro signal failure has us change plans and take a train to Glen Waverley instead of a Belgrave train directly home. Didn’t let it our dad and boys day out though as the beach, ten pin bowling and shopping in the Xmas themed city far outweighed the train home hitch - this cache a silver lining and mum to the rescue. tftc

Remember when this was a single platform and as kids in mid sixties got into big trouble taking a shortcut halfway b/t the two stations. Have attached an early pic of a ‘red rattler’ from 1957 at Glen Waverley. Those days there were plenty of surrounding orchards. Cache located soon enough- just needed a bit of ooomph! TFTC and the FUN!

Mrs Riddell just happened to hop off the train with muggle son to meet for a Christmas Breakup and noticed a cache nearby.
It was quickly uncovered, and deed done.
A very nicely crafted hide.
TFTC

A quick(ish) park n grab this evening at a familiar yet dramatically changed location.

My parents had a business on the street adjoining the railway car park here throughout the 1970s and 80s, until my father passed away, so returning here evokes some fairly bitter-sweet memories. Despite only living maybe 20 minutes drive away I rarely visit - it's all a bit too weird for me to be around here...

Back to the cache - this was a fast find although just after I made the retrieve two railway security types appeared out of nowhere a short distance away, so unable to return the cache unseen and not wanting to loiter I jumped back into the car while still holding the cache, then came back from a different direction and observed them for about 15 minutes til they finally moved out of sight.

(Not quite sure what was so fascinating for them about the completely deserted far end of the car park just by the rail fence (not near the hide), that they had to hang there for so long. Suspect they were just bunking off...)

Anyway having signed the log and visited a couple of trackables in the meantime, with the coast clear once more I finally replaced the container as found. I had not done any SideTracked caches before today but by weird coincidence did another earlier today some miles away, in Eltham.

Thanks for the cache, n0w0rries!

Today we concentrated on the Local Government Areas of Monash and Whitehorse as w worked towards two challenges. It was a warm day, overcast and quite humid. We found 24 caches and were really pleased with the overall quality of the caches and the hides. It was a good days caching.

Accurate coordinates and a familiar style of hide led top a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks n0w0rries for the cache.

SideTracked find 138.
The good hint meant a quick find, but the cache was far enough that the train had left before I returned. Time for a coffee I decided. Interesting shopping centre. Cache and log were good. TFTC n0w0rries.

Pictures from the train journey, including that graffitied church, this side of Richmond Station, which has got me so intrigued that I think I will seek it out.

Needed a cache today so despite a headache and sore neck I decided to go and hope for a quick find. Luckily the caching gods answered my prayers and I quickly had the log signed.
TFTC

Found at 11:25
It's surprising how many SideTracked caches have popped up recently. I took a long walk from where I'd parked at the previous cache and made a quick find.
Thanks n0w0rries for the cache

Quick find before doing some shopping. TFTC

Nice hide TFTC!

Out for a ride on this nice day good to catch a few caches TFTC.

Another side-tracked cache to brighten my day, which was blotted with DNFs. Fortunately, this cache was found speedily without any hassles. Love it.

Love these ones. TFTC

Lots of muggles around this time of day. Spent way too long searching in all the wrong places. Started reading a few logs and one of them triggered an idea. Something I had already inspected but obviously not well enough.

Thanks for bringing me here today by placing this cache, n0w0rries

Went down to Sandown this morning to check out the caravan show and was looking to grab a cache or two on the way home.
The slowest thing in finding this one was a parking spot. Ended up propping on the striped lines just opposite the hide, then it was nice and quick

We were able to park quite close to GZ. Once the GPSr devices settled this was a quick find. Nicely hidden. Thanks to n0w0rries for the cache.

Found. Interesting find

It was raining and we had no protection. Just one cache for us tonight. Accurate co-ords led to a quick find.
Thanks for placing the cache n0w0rries.

While working for the whole week at a local transformer manufacturer, this short visit to the railway station gave me a break and fun before heading back again to my home country on Saturday... Thanks for this cache T4TC

Found it TFTC

Found by Rebel Acts in the company of Omegaman1971.

Just a couple of hours out caching today as I slowly get back on my feet after surgery, we were keen to do a few of the new side tracked caches and a few Multi's we had not done in the area.

This is one of the caches found today. A quick park and grab here.

Thanks n0w0rries for the cache.

Found by Omegaman1971

Catching up with Rebel Acts for a few hours and hopefully some smiles on the map.
Great to see some new caches in the trackside series.
Found after a short search after the rain past.

I was in the area today and decided to drop by this cache on my way home. I managed to get a parking spot in the railway station carpark about 20 metres from GZ. There were no muggles at this end of the carpark, just some empty cars...I checked. I wandered over to GZ and as I approached I was pretty sure what the hide would be and I was correct. I quickly grabbed the cache and took it to my car where I signed the log at 5:10 pm. TNLN. I checked there was nobody around before quickly returning the cache to its hiding spot.

Thanks n0w0rries for another well-hidden SideTracked cache. I am really enjoying all these new SideTracked caches and doing a bit of trainspotting while I am at it.

Nice, easy find. TFTC

From the previous ST cache to this one, both G&J had the same idea at the same time and the cache was soon signed and returned. We were surprised how many cars were in this carpark on a Saturday arvo!
TFTC n0w0rries - GJMMelb

We found this cache today on our Valley Reserve and More Afternoon. After grabbing the sister cache at Mount Waverley, we decided to make a quick divert in here for its sibling. Thanks from D & HA B-A

On my way to an International Geocaching Day event in Valley Reserve I decided to add a few other caches to list for today.
I always get Mount Waverley and Glen Waverly mixed up and today was no exception. My car GPS was going to Mount Waverly and my phone GPS was going to Glen Waverley. Eventually I worked it out and was able to find this cache before I got to Valley Reserve.
Thank you n0w0rries for this addition to the SideTracked series.

Found it

On my way to the model train show, so I should pickup a sidetracked cache on the way. Thanks For The Cache 7908

Another calendar hole and another very convenient n0w0rries SideTracked cache!

After finally scrambling to the top of the Mount yesterday, it was time to dive deep into the Glen today.

Yesterday’s find had got me into the right headspace and very soon another tidy piece of engineering was discovered.

Nicely done NW! TFTSTC
