Logs
The cache at this location seems to be MIA so we'll archive it for now to stop it turning up in the search lists. If it is found then the owner can reenable the listing by placing an Unarchived log against it.
hat a very quick look but just as quickly decided I looked way to suspicious. perhaps a fluoro vest next time I'm here
It was getting too dark to do a thorough search and pretend to be not out of place there. Maybe a next time.

I had stopped while on the way past once before but the area was taped off and there was no way I was going to attempt this in the middle of the afternoon. I would definitely recommend this as a night time (or early morning) cache.
Took me a lot of poking in each hole before I came up with the prize.
Thanks kmmndavis for the cache.

This was the last of my finds on my post-sport drop-off sojourn this morning. I've been meaning to find this one for a while but for various reasons, just haven't had the chance.
Once at GZ, I was wondering how I was ever going to find the stash but after 4 or 5 minutes of searching, I finally had the cache in hand from the umpteenth place I looked at 07:05 to open its account for 2013.
I still have no idea what the 'big hint' in the cache notes means.
TNLNSL. Thanks Kmmndavis.

Wasn't going to find this is in the middle of the day, with so many people watching...
I walked past on the way back to the car but gz has been fenced off with done temporary fencing. The cache should be safe but is not accessible at the moment. I'll check back and have a go when this the landscaping is finished.

I walked past and think I spotted it, but in the middle of a busy worday there were too many people around to grab the cache which was a shame as I had a frog I was hoping to deposit here.
As I found my self in town for a few hours with nothing critical to do, except geocaching of course, I set out to find few caches. Felt a bit odd getting to the cache position, but hey, there are plenty of other odd-balls about these days!
Thanks Kmmndavis - Nice to get another anniversary cache too which hasn't been found for a while.

Out on a legendary cache run with caching buddy Trailrunning. For the first time, we actually completed the whole list and added a few more on the way home to meet the 50-find cache mark. Started early at 5.45pm all the way till 2am before we went home tired, but happy. 2 DNF's along the way but an awesome run all the same.
Grabbed this one on the way to the other nearby caches. We read the description and the hint and figured where the clue is. I managed to find the cache and left a tb in.

As usual I had planned a night of caching with my good buddy jsmyong55. We had quite a number on the list, and I never thought we would get through them all. We did and then some! The final tally for the night has not yet been realised as there are both Geocaching Australia.com and Geocaching.com caches in the mix, but we both know we both grabbed over 50 caches each. To get jsmoyong55 over the line we detoured from a direct route to his home to get a few more. It was the first time for both of us to get over 50 so we were both pretty pleased with our efforts. This cache was one of those we grabbed. After realising where it was, we soon had it in hand. Thanks.
Grabbed this one will out walking around town on the B&W series.
Took about 5 minutes to locate....think that ivy grows pretty fast.
Thanks for the fun...

Successful arvo out caching on the bikes. Its getting dark & colder so just a couple more before we call it a day thanks kmmnDavis
Thanks for the cache. I found this one on a damp afternoon. Good location though I didn't get the clue at first - it became clear when I got to the right side of the area where the cache was! It took a bit of searching because of the overcast skies my gps was not so accurate but found. Great hide - I appreciated the fact that this was a decent sized cache tin. Took air NZ puppet and left 2 party poopers. Cache is in good condition.

A nice big cache in the middle of a city, great work.
No problem finding it, and no possum seen today.
thanks!

After my meeting finished early I had a few hours to kill, so what better way than to find some caches. Just up the road from the hotel. Took a little while to find the right hole, not helped by a parked muggle underneath I had to wait to sod off. But got it eventually. TNLNSL, thanks Kmmndavis. It's a nice park here.
14:14 Found it - awesome cache! I was a little worried for a moment there the possum was guarding it but luckily he was just there to watch (see image).

Yay. My very first CGA find. A great location - well hidden.

Thought I'd have to wait for nearby muggles to move on but decided to look on the other side. Found surprisingly fast considering the number of potential hiding locations. Nice to find a good sized cache in the city. TFTC
Actual spotted it from the foot path (but only because I knew what I was looking for.)

After my embarrassing DNF on this one back in May when I was in the running for the FTF, and a couple of quick drive-by attempts since then, I decided that today was the day to give this one a thorough search. The leafy coverage certainly made the attempt easier today than during the winter months, as I was hidden from the passing traffic. After a methodical search, I eventually found the container, well-hidden in its hidey-hole. Good to finally cross this one off my list. Cheers!
This one took me two visits today. I abandoned the first after there were too many muggles so I went into the Gardens for the caches there and then returned and made an easy find the second time. TFTC
Went for a cycle around the CBD while in town for work. Thanks for the cache. Had to time a gap in people on the footpath and on the road to grab this one. TNLN.
Well this was an experience that I managed to pull off quite quickly. The street was deserted and the cache was luckily a little exposed in the first place I looked. Thanks to the sheepish hider!!

Picking up family from a party up the street, so I thought I might be able to pick up the Flagstaff hill caches as well....I had no luck with foot traffic at the other, but the cache and the ram that sees both overlooked a very quiet street. The largest cache I have seen in the CBD! Thanks.

Took a few pokes and prods to locate the hide under the watchful gaze of Rameses. Luckily not too many muggles around to join in! Cheers from Sydney.

Found in conjunction with The Morris - she actually located the cache, while doing caches in the B&W Series.
As far as coverage goes, perhaps better undertaken in the summer months!

Found in the company of Phetlern on our B&W adventure. Princess Diala was available if needed but we soon located it in its neat little hiding spot. No exchanges but thank you. Fairly quiet here today apart from a man walking nay carrying his pekinese.
Found this morning whilst completing the two B&W series caches in the Gardens. Thanks pwags for a good cache. Drove by last week and was wondering how I would get to GZ. Was easy while there. TNLN

It was our daughter, chocolate_ali, who introduced us to geocaching. Whenever we come to visit her in melbourne we always make time to cache as it enables us to explore parts of Melbourne we would otherwise not visit. We have gone past this park numerous times over the years but never taken the time to spot and look more closely. We are just now realising the historical significance of Flagstaff Gardens. This cache was a quick find. TFTC

With 29 minutes before I had to pick up the child I took the time to come to this cache knowing that parking would be easy on the weekend.
Parking was simple only a few meters from the cache and the cache itself was revealed after a few minutes of methodical searching.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks Kmmdavis for this cache here today. Hey, it's an anniversary cache too. Wooho. Thank you so much for supporting Geocaching Australia. A very niced sized cache in the CBD area.

3/8 Anniversary finds for the morning at about 3am.
After driving up north, then chickening out from attempting GabGabs cache when I saw a car in the car park I decided to drive back into the city as it probably not a smart thing for a chick to be wondering around alone at night in the dark.
Then I got lost. Haha, don't ask how I can get lost, but I did
I arrived at GZ and started my hunt... WOW, there are a lot of places here to look into. After about 15 mins I looked up at Rameses and he gave me a message to find the cache. Rameses was looking after me!
Upon opening up the logbook I was VERY surprised to see an empty page. I wondered where pwags had gone...
Oh wells, another FTF under my belt, and then off to the next cache on my night time adventure.
Thanks again Kmmndavis for this cache.

A frustrating search for us tonight. We spent around 15 minutes looking in all the likely spots, after the coordinates had us around 10 metres into the park from where the clue was telling us to look. We eventually had to call off this search, so I'll be back sometime in daylight to find it, hopefully with some more accurate coordinates. I'll be watching this one!
