I had to search here for a while. 2 suspicious people came by, but they moved on after they thought I was a Muggle I was still looking when they came back. Finally one of the two managed to get the right grip, my fingers were probably too short Many greetings again and a nice holiday in AustraliaElfenzauber from Germany
Visiting Melbourne for the weekend and staying in the city so picking up a cache or two while I'm here with legend. Met a geocacher from Germany who needed some help with this one. Thought she was a muggle but when we moved seat l away we saw she was searching so went back to join the hunt.
Found with Gazania Rigens, as per her log.We quickly had the right idea, and a finger search proved successful.TFTC
This cache is very close to our apartment, so we went to look for it today while enjoying the view along the river. Had to do a bit of digging to access the container. TFTC!
Back from the library we took a while with this one as the spot we thought it was in had a man sitting right next to it. But after reading some logs we went to the right place TFTC find 394
Melbourne Day 3 - Day trip to Philipp IslandKilling some time before departing Quick find on that oneTftc ! Greetings from France
Bought one of the girl gang to the Travis Scott concert and while killing time I did a little solo caching! This was the first of the day and right near the Winston Apartments that ive stayed at many times but never checked for caches! Quick and easy find once the muggle that was chain smoking cleared out! TFTC, great hide
Very good, I liked the spinning chairs! I sat on the low wall and could reach from there, it might be accessible 
Tftc
TftcAfter a week of appointments in Melbourne, decided to go for a walk down to Docklands before heading back to Adelaide tomorrow. When I left the CBD was bustling despite the drizzle and generally dreary weather. By the time I got to Docklands it was largely deserted and devoid of activity...which meant muggles were few and far between. TFTC
TFTC:). Once I arrived at GZ, there were a few options but I quickly zoned in on its location and was able to make the find.C.C
Went for a little wander in Docklands on Grand Final Day to gather some caches. Hardly anyone out and about today. TFTC
This was another that was at an altitude that I don't favour. OHC wasn't keen on it either but she moves better than Mrs Papi and made the find. Thanks for placing this cache for all to enjoy.
It was OHC that made this find. Luckily for me, OHC is much more agile and made the find without any problems, exactly where we guess it was. Thanks for this cache placement.
Time for some inner city caching to add some more smilies to my map.Decided to take a seat to explore from there. Wowsers! Those seats are a lot lower than they appear!Thanks for bringing us here by placing this cache, mrdonut0 ~~
Walked around and got some caches this sunny morning after last night's Elimination Final at the 'G, not so successful for my Doggies but I had the best time, my first MCG Dogs final. Stunning views across the water from here, loved it. Quick find, TFTC!
TFTC! Nice afternoon around docklands, many thanks for the series of caches A little fiddly to retrieve but got there in the end
In the city for work , I thought I would collect a few geocaches before heading to the event. I'm glad I did because some of these areas might be pretty busy later in the day. GPSr was bouncing everywhere, with I am guessing, the buildings interfering with the signals. But with the hint, I took a guess where I was supposed to be and spotted it in the third side I checked.Thanks for the cache, Mr. Donut 0.Hunter
Quickly easy find on a lunch break while showing a colleague the game of geocaching. Was rather quiet for a lunch break so made life easy. Tftc tnln sl
Initially we were thinking this one might be on a branch but once we had found a couple in the series it made sense where this was going to be hid. A subtle retrieval and replacement after signing. TFTC
Found by The Empire + tismAfter the Melbourne Ice's spectacular 9-2 victory over the Sydney Ice Dogs in the AIHL, we decided to take a leisurely stroll around Docklands. The excitement from the game still buzzed in the air as we made our way towards the vibrant waterfront district.Docklands was especially enchanting under the evening sky. The modern architecture of the area, with its sleek glass facades and innovative designs, was beautifully illuminated by the soft glow of the streetlights. The reflections of the buildings on the calm waters of Victoria Harbour created a stunning visual effect, adding to the overall charm of the waterfront. Another quick one! Thanks for the cache mrdonut0.-M
Third cache of today. GPS was not pointed me to right place. Read the description carefully and got it.
Out for a walk before work to try collect these new cache since I was last here and a couple of AD LABs. At this one I started on the wrong poles but soon discovered the correct spot, pretty obvious. Thanks for placing this cache mrdonut0 #2775
Finally a cache that I managed to spot first out of the three of us (possibly because I was the only one who had looked at the hint). TFTC!
Im enjoying Flemajos tour of the Docklands. Ive given this area very little exploration since it was developed. TFTC
Quick one with great coordinates, this spot is extremely quiet first thing in the morning. Having a nice walk around sleepy docklands is a great way to start the day! Tftc
13 July 2024 13:39 dalerious and I were on the water again, continuing our journey back to Herring Island. There was an event on Herring Island so we packed up the tinnie, dressed warmly, and chugged our way over to Herring.We also had a T5 Virtual on the Island, and with those 2 T5's now complete, I qualified for a D5/T5 Challenge cache I had been working on.But who was going to stop there. I have not been known to sit on my laurels, and I wasn't going to start now.We filled up the little motors tank, kicked her in the guts, and steamed down stream to the Bolte Bridge.We have kayaked from Herring to Bolte and back, but since we are in July, we decided to travel in luxury and keep as dry as we could.The weather forecast was ominous, but it turned out a glorious day. Right up until we loaded the tinnie back on the trailer late afternoon did it start to rain.We arrived at gz, tied our tinnie to a ladder and started the climb up to search for the cache.As I started up the ladder, a person in a garbage scow arrived and proceeded to tell us all about collecting garbage on the waterways. We nodded a few times not quite hearing all he said.Wasn't long and dalerious shot up the ladder following me to gz.Cache found safe and dry.Thank you mrdonut.
After attending AlphaDeltaIndigo's T/5 Event on Herring Island, as an encore, cat' and I putted our tiny tinnie (with all of 2.2 horses behind it) on a 14km round trip all the way down to The Bolte Bridge to score the newish T/5 trad' (Flamajo Goes West) before heading back to pick up a few land based caches (and an icecream 
) along the river bank starting with this one on our return voyage. 
We were in no rush, and there was a 5 Knot speed limit anyway, we sat back and enjoyed the journey taking in the sights and sounds of bustling inner city Melbourne on what felt like our own private waterway. It was magical. 
[:X]Apart from a few hire boats further upstream, we had the river pretty much to ourselves. There was one guy opperating a scow that pulled up for a chat as we docked here. I think he was lonely. It was a pleasant encounter. 
After climbing the ladder onto dry land, the familiar looking cache was quickly retrieved thanks to the generous hint and a distinct lack of muggles about. 
We were soon back on the water and heading upstream once more. TFTC mrdount.

We are staying in the apartments right next door to this cache, so it was a no-brainer that I duck down to find it before heading out for dinner. I took a seat and surreptitiously felt for the cache between passing muggles. I was glad to feel something move in my fingertips in the first place I tried. Dont think this cache will ever get muggled. Great spot. TFTC
Found with gastank2 while walking around Docklands area and checking out Marvel Stadium and the Firelight Festival. Thanks for the fun cache!
12:53A meander through Docklands after a job near everyone's favourite truck-devouring bridge...This was a nice quick find to the rhythm of the pile being driven in over the other side of the water.Thanks, mrdount.#8959
Found this one quickly again with my dad, he was the one who found it! TFTC, signed and replaced
In Melbourne for work so a morning walk was in order. It's quite amazing to see how big the Docklands is and how many apartments are actually here. So many more than I thought. An easy find here which was great. Thanks for the cache.
#20699 - 5:19:17 PM; In Melbourne for the International Lions Convention and with an hour to spare before the International Show, I wandered over to Docklands for some new caches which have appeared since mylast trip to the area. It was an easy stroll around and while a couple took a bit of effort, all were located, log signed and replaced as found, including this one. TFTC mrdount
We had stayed in the city overnight because little Ms frilk's band had a gig the previous night and it seemed like a good idea. and_me and I made a day of it by finding caches and exploring.A quick find. TFTC.
TFTC.....another quick find as frilk and I spent the day exploring Melbourne. The Docklands has changed a lot since I was last there.
Found with The X-Trailers after catching the train into the city from Bendigo. We had a great time walking around the docklands.Although a chilly day the sun was shining.TFTC
Met up with Birthday boy Rebel Acts and Omegaman in the city today for some caching shenanigans..this was one of the caches we found.

Midwinter Melbourne TourDay Two: City Centre and DocklandsWeather: Wintery! Im not sure who Flemajo is, but there are four new caches in this neck of the Docklands since I was last here, and Im grateful for that. Its a cold wintery day and there is hardly anyone on the streets, meaning that I have timed this one perfectly. Thanks for this cache and the series mrdount.
Found at 14:14Out for a couple of caches on my way home this afternoon. There were a couple of muggles nearby but they were on their phones and not interested in me. A quick find for me in the obvious spot.Thanks mrdount for the cache
I found this cache on my Mega Walk #23 - a 30,000 step walk along Merri Creek from Coburg to Fitzroy followed by a walk around the Docklands. After a walk along the waterfront from my last find, this one was quickly in hand. This was the easiest of the four to find. Thanks from D B-A
On my way back from Docklands to Flinders Street station and decided to go via a number of mrdount's caches. Number four for today, arrived to a very quiet area with very few people around, was a quick find with the cache retrieved, log signed and cache returned. TFTC mrdount and apologies for the time taken to log.
Today I finally took the time for a walk with some caches in Melbourne! mrdount, thanks for placing and maintaining Flemajos Lounge (GCANR04)!Greetings from Rotterdam, NL: marcovanderplas**27 May 2024**
A nice walk around the city on a sunny Sunday afternoon. An easy find thanks to the hint. TFTC
Departure today, stopped by the CBD on the way to Tullamarine for a couple of quick and nasty finds. Thanks..!!
After dinner this evening I decided to catch a tram to this area before heading back to the hotel. Grabbed 4 of the 6 caches in the area. This one was a quick find, but when I sat down the seat was very cold. Thanks for the cache...
TFTC! 14 May 2024 6:02:00PM 8115 thanks to mrdount for the cache! Always enjoy a trip to docklands. Picking up a cshce day by day to keep our streak alive!
Found cache: Spent 25 minutes trying to prie it out with my fingers after looking for another 15 as I didn't think it could be there as I didn't see it on my first look lucky my small fingers got it Bring a long pointy thing to push it out!
Thanks for an excuse to visit Docklands. Ill be back for the shielded cache. This one was quite a bright idea in a scenic spot.
It was nice and quiet along the water today, we hardly saw a soul in this part of the city. We saw some great sculptures and interesting building artworks along the way. Thanks for this series of caches.
I worked in Docklands for many years, and caching here brings back memories. This cache was found after a short search.
A bit of a dig around to get it out , hope it doesnt get too wet thereThanks mrdount for Flemajos Lounge#6148
*25 Apr 2024, Found @11:11AM, Find # 3799.*A public holiday with an opportunity to dust the cobwebs off the bike with a ride around the city. My first time taking my bike on the train and it wont be my last. A havent seen one of these types before nonetheless it was quick find. A few cobwebs no spiders though.**Thanks to mrdount for placing this cache.**
I certainly did not find this one easy to find like everybody else did. The GPS was bouncing around all over the place and I couldnt narrow it down. Then I finally had the sense to read the description and made sense of that.Tricky. TFTC.
I have an hour and a half wait before catching the next train in my journey. A quick look on the geocaching map identified four caches in the Docklands that were getable within my time frame. Today, Anzac Day, was a good time to be caching. There were no people to be seen, apart from a few out exercising or walking the dog. A quick search of the area soon had the prize located, and it now carries my scribble. I enjoyed the hint and the solitude this morning.Thanks mrdount for placing this Traditional Cache to enhance the game board.
