Stuck with working on a sunny Saturday. By lunchtime I was ready for an adventure so off to Birrarrung Park for a peaceful walk along the river. I stopped to watch a few kookaburras flying between the trees. When I looked down towards my feet I saw this cache. Thanks Alan-san for placing this cache.

Enjoy walk toward the cache.
Great spot.
Thanks Alan-san for bring me here and cache.
 
15-Jul-15
I had a couple of hours spare today so headed out for some of the newer ones that keep popping up in my 15km zone.
I parked in the nearby park car park and headed along a narrow track through the grass and reached GZ in no time. No one around and there was the little box next to the river. Ah, how's the serenity.
Thanks Alan-san for the cache, the hunt and the fun.

Travelling around Australia in our Caravan with our cat.

Heading to Melbourne to fly home to Perth.

After dropping the cat at boarding, the caravan for repair it was FREE time to go caching. Cool

We headed out to find some caches we needed for a Victorian Challenge.

Thanks for your cache to feed our GeoAddiction. Razz

A beautiful autumn day for a walk. Found easily

What a great spot on the river! Only my second cache find and it had a trackable in it-but I didn't realise what it was, will have to head back and get the number so I can read its story! thanks for a good one.
 
04-Apr-15
The sixth find for the day and no. 93 overall.

I have been to this park previously before I even knew what geocaching was. I probably walked right past these with no clue.

The camouflage was halfway down the embankment, so I'm not sure if the cache was in the correct place. However, it was located and signed and placed back as found. I wasn't going to be scrambling down an embankment given I am still recovering from feet issues.

Thanks for bringing me back to this park.

#1108 (4 of 6 today)

Was coming down to Melbourne for the Armageddon convention, and decided to use the off time to grab a number of caches.
Had decided the best plan was to try to target caches representing missing months that are problematical up in Sydney (ie non-existent or distant and high terrain/difficulty).
I also had manoeuvred my finds so the first cache I grabbed was my 1100 milestone. I had only one candidate for that.

End result of 3 days here was six new missing months, a new cache type (also not available in Sydney), and finding a multi I'd started this time last year...
[center]* * * END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION) * * *[/center]
Having DNFed Kylie Minogue finds her cache here too! earlier in the day, this was my next option for a June 2006 missing month find (my most recent missing month).
Drove to GZ and a short walk later I got to a spot with some conspicuous geotrails...
Well that makes it easy.

That said it was still a nice quick find, and I completed signing duties as the sun was setting. Not sure exactly what was milo coloured, though.

I remember finding the original Milo by the Yarra all the way back in 2002, in fact it was my second ever cache find. It was actually the last time I came to this park. It was good to be back such a nice park, and I had good walk around the circuit picking up the current crop of caches. Interesting camouflage method...


Thanks Alan-san for a trip down memory lane.
 
03-Aug-14
Bike riding with the kids. It sure is colder here from where I got my last geocache.
Picked up a geocoin that needs to be put someplace dangerous.
 
21-Jul-14
Suscoe's 4th find of 40 for today as we wandered around this part of Melbourne.
A cold and chilly start to the day was followed by some delightful sun.
A quick walk to GZ and a quick find.
Looks like it but we are fairly sure it doesn't taste like it and it was moving pretty quickly today as well.
Thanks to Alan-san for placing this cache.
 
09-Jul-14
Nice spot on the Milo River thanks Alan - San been meaning to do these for a while. Worth the wait. Thanks

This was my family's 100th cache. Super excited!
 
26-Jun-14
Hello from Newcastle, NSW!! Found this one on my last day in Melbourne, not too far from where I was staying. I remember coming to this park so so so many times as a child and being completely oblivious to the geocaching possibilities! After a bit of padding around, and worrying that it was down the embankment, we finally found it (and the hide amused my mother greatly). Picked up a cool coin and left a bumblebee. Cheers!

Decided to try my luck and try all three caches in the park this afternoon. Found after a brief search. The river actually looked pretty good today but I wasn't keen enough for a dip. Thanks Alan-san for the cache and the walk along the river today.
 
10-Mar-14

Out for a walk and a play in this great park with Master D and the dog ... Found this cache quickly while watchin out for snakes ! TFTC
 
03-Nov-13
I gotta say, it really is milo coloured.

My suggestion of 'hey there's 2 caches between here and home' to CJ-Curry turned into a run around arvo, and this was one of the finds for the day.

Nice little spot, got a bit damp from the wet bushes, but hey. Worth it.

Thanks Alan-San.
 
03-Nov-13
The second one that Hevic and I found this afternoon. After taking a quick look at GZ, I said "It's probably ". Sure enough, Hevic went one way and I went another and she had the stash in hand. We spent a moment wondering about how to attack the next one, but ended up deliberately taking a wrong turn back and ending up having a little adventure through the bush back to the car. Cheers Alan-san!

Having just done River of Mists nearby, had to look for this next. A short stroll along the river, a little bit of backtracking and was quickly spotted by geokid. Not sure if it is in the right spot (see previous logs) but perfectly good location. Swapped a little fox badge for (another) troll, and replaced. TFTC.

Out and about with the geokids this morning looking for caches with playgrounds nearby and this one fitted nicely. A nice walk along the Yarra followed by an easy find by 6yo in the interesting camo. Thanks Alan-san for the cache and for a reason to visit this area.
