Went to the spot and followed the clues but to no avail. We did find a little green high lighter though so pretty sure it has been muggled.
[I checked both sides] of the bridge, on, under, around and in. [Couldn't find it!]
[Then again I'm just starting out Geocaching so my hunting skills are sub-par.]

Easy find, found with lid off and soaked, have taken and will return dry with new logbook
Found this one after tea at Taco Bill (yummy). It was 10.30pm only had little torch. We could see the cache but couldn't get to it. I was happy with this as there was no way i was climbing under with those spiders.. But Annie who doesn't get to do this much wasn't happy. So under she goes after half an hour of laughter and nearly getting stuck she retrieved the cache. WELL DONE ANNIE! TFTC #91
Found with Iamapom and The Riddell's. Thanks to Iamapom for doing all the hard work

Nice easy find. Girls lost the basketball but at least the find made the trip a little worthwhile.
Aidan flew back to Perth this afternoon to spend the rest of the hols with his mates before going back to school next week. So, sadly, he won't be hunting with us for awhile. A real shame because he loves frogs and we headed off to hopefully find Richlink's red-eyed frog geocoin at Melton after his plane flew by. We tried to outsmart the GPS by checking under the obvious structure (as in the clue) but it turned there were 3 of them spread out around the place and we ended up going back to the bus to get it. Then it was a relatively easy find at 4.12pm but you have to look very carefully. Great hiding spot and the co-ords were spot on. Very happy to find the frog geocoin as he is very attractive. Would love to keep him but will move him on in WA as there is a great wetland area he would love near our home. A couple of weeks away yet but I will keep him moist so he doesn't dry out. As long as he doesn't croak too much to keep me awake at night!! Is it possible to get hold of a geocoin that you can keep of the ones you really like?

Nice day with a few people about but wasn't too hard to find. TNLN. thanks for the cache
my second cache for the day, took our nephew along for the ride, dragon's pearl had the fun of clambering to get the cache. TNLN. good spot with a few people around due to the nice weather. thanks for the cache.
I went to get this cache while Tilly played with beck on the nearby playground.
Unfortunately I didn't bring any writing implements so I couldn't sign a log.
Dropped off Frog geocoin.. lots of frogs croaking in the area so seemed appropriate.

Nice find in great little park. Bit of a blustery day for it but made it all the more adventurous!!
After finding this one we stopped acting our age and played on the playground.

Took a wee while to spot in the fading light. Nice park but we couldn’t stay long as it was getting dark quickly and we still had a long drive ahead. Good hiding spot. Second last cache of the day (#26/27). Log book full so we squeezed our mark amidst other signatures. TFTC.
1st of 11 finds on my caching b-day daytrip with a shiny new gps unit.
Found at midday. I didn't look at clue when trying to located it at GZ, lucky muggle bf did and managed to grab it for me. Signed log whilst sitting on the wooden bench? nearby. Took a little while to replace as a teenage couple came past and hung around for a little bit.
Koala TB came for a visit.

Nice hide in a nice park. It seems to be quite a popular spot. It turned out that GZ itself was the best place to sign the log undetected. Thanks.
After finding Hannah & Jack at one end of this great area, it made perfect sense to take the short walk to this cache as well. Pity I wasn't involved in caching when this event was held, would've been a great chance to meet a few other locals.
Thanks C@W for another good cache, in a hide you'd expect to remain safe, enjoyed the cache, enjoyed the walk, but most of all, enjoyed getting another smiley face on the map. TNLNSL

It was great to be able to find 2 caches so close together. It made for a great Mother's day outing.
Great day for a little cacheing. Once I found the right bridge it was a simple find, after I read the clue. Thanks for the cache.
Great little hide in the middle of town........almost. Good hint took me straight to it. Always appreciate that when on limited time.

Well our first find for 2009, we have been a bit lazy haven't we! GeoJnr had an appointment in Melton but we were only really down for the day so thought we better grab a couple of caches whilst we were here. The weather was a bit warm but we enjoyed the walk from the car park to the cache location. This is a very nice park indeed and a credit to the Melton community. This was the first time we had actually spent more than a few minutes in Melton and it seems like a pretty good spot with a few historical plaques dotted around, nifty shopping precent and a few dollars appear to have been thrown around in the community and health services areas.
The cache was found and replaced quite quickly and then GeoJnr had a play on a few of the facilities and then proceeded to lose his dog that he got from his happy meal which caused a great deal of chaos and several additional minutes wandering around in the heat trying to find it. Alas, no luck. Might have to try the lost dogs home. TFTC C@W, we will have to make it down this way again as there are quite a few more caches for us to find. Cheers.

Like many others, I took the opportunity to find this cache while at the event. Found in the company of roundcircle (who kindly did the retrieval/replacement) and Alansee (who came along for the exercise & chat).

wow muggle or not, was signing log when approached by 3 muggles - turns out it was another team of cachers at the event , met TB tilly. geo munchkins wanted to play in the park, seen a sneaky fella walking up the path, turns out it was bushfire and 1SR
Found this at 14.55 with 1SR a part of the one always awake team VKC1SR after the “Intervening Days Event “at Melton.
On approaching this cache we thought we may have to give this one a miss but as we got closer they were familiar faces so all was well. A nice quick find with NI-NO and thanks to caughtatwork for the cache.

Found this cache after the Intervening Days event (GC1HDXH). The coords were spot on. With coords like this, why would you need the hint? Took the Mustang Geocoin and left the California Geocoin. Thank you, caughtatwork.
Found this afternoon at 1455 with Bushfire after the event at Melton. An easy find, TNLN TFTC
Found this one with Rigger64 and The Swaggies while attending the Intervening Days event nearby. Wasn't too hard as someone was already filling out the log book as we approached, so we added our names and aloowed them the honour of replacing the cache.

Just passing through, thought I would drop in!
My god this cache is a lucky one.
The level that the water in the creek got to would have swept any mortal cache to its doom!
The amount of debris lodged under the bridges in this park was unbelievable. I know we had a record amount of rain over this weekend, in excess of 90mm!
I retrieved the cache ok but the mud was a bit sticky and I walked away a bit taller than when I arrived.
I've taken the TB for a drive.

wnet looking for this one with my son, he nearly fell into the almost dry creek, would of been fun to see.
Found by Team Ladava with baby&Mrs gopher on their ‘Relatives from The Rock reconnoitre’.
A nice hide in a lovely park. After many years in the industry, the better half of Team Ladava has a ‘soft spot’ for any location related to the pioneers of healthcare and this park is a lovely tribute to a remarkable lady.
Plenty of people were enjoying the lovely sunny day in the park and some ducks were in the creek.
Unfortunately, we had not yet been introduced to caching in time for the event this cache commemorates.

Never made it to the Meet & Greet here (I heard the weather was crap though ). Nice park on a sunny day though.
I suspect the No Diving sign is a bit excessive, the swamp didn't look too good.

Well, well, well. That will teach me the lesson to not go checking on a cache to see if it's still there in my suit. I didn't crawl all the way up the end as I wanted to keep clean. It wasn't originally hidden there either, but I believe that this is a better place for it to remain muggle free.
Thank you to i,Riblit for unarchiving this cache.
It's still there, go get it.

No problems for me here either - the cache is definitely still there as described in the last 2 logs! You do have to get right in to be able to see it - and watch out for spiders! I can remember wanting to get to the event this was placed for - but the weather was just too foul for such a long trip for a big wuss like me . Oh well - it's a nice park and I finally made it out here at least .

Thanks again caughtatwork
PS Maybe Rabbitto's "serial pests" are operating here (see their log for GC12R3K "Industrial Estate")

We didn't realise this had been archived so went and looked for it. Surprisingly it was an easy find In centre of structure behind back braces.
Would look a little odd having a meeting under there wouldn't it!
Nice wander through the park though.
