Thank goodness for the works that are taking place that gave great cover and the steps near by for a well earned seat to enable you to log your find. Didn't find any TB's but dropped off TB slug. SL T4TC

Had me going a while. 5th for the day. Just off the plane from NZ
 

18th

Sorry for late log. Computer down. Found on trip to titanic exhibtion. A bit worried the first look had it in the dug up area. A bit of retuning and got it. Liked the hide could be fun on a warm day with a lot of people about.

18th

easy find in the rain, almost gave up after a minute or two.. glad we perservered, as we had it in hand within another minute, muggles that were around were too busy dodging rain drops to hassel us.. TNLNSL TFTC..
 

17th

2nd attempt at this one, cant believe how obvious it was when you find it! TFTC
 

16th

Lunch time find today. The protective works around the adjacent construction program, and the temporary car parks, help minimise the muggle interference, at present.
Nice easy find. TNLN TFTC
 

15th

Easy afternoon find. Not to many muggles about. TFTC.

14th

It seems many of the previous finders have been observed poking around here by some of the building workers. We were sprung by one and so spent ten minutes explaining the hobby, how it works, where people come from and the whole concept. Pretty sure he went away happy and was totally reasonable about it. We already had bookings for the Titanic Exhibition and so that part of the day was a breeze. (and it's well worth visiting BTW) TFTC
 

13th

Went to the Titanic exhibition. they had a crazy system of feeding everyone in together every 15min. Had to wait about 30min beofre our turn so this was a perfect quick grab. TFTC
 

12th

12/07/10 12:33 PM Find #2 for today after catching 86 tram to stop near this brilliant park to explore. I really like sightseeing via caches. Dropped off Happy Kitty TB. TFTC
 

11th

Here to see the Titanic exhibition but it was sold out. What else could we do but go Geocaching. TFTC

 

11th

1st find of 7 today. Little jackam liked the nearby playground. TFTC.
 

8th

My second find. Great to meet other Geocachers as well as I introduced family and friends to the adventure.
 

8th

Off at the local tourist attraction whilst here with the boys from Canberra and thought "Wow - a Maccamob cache! Better nab that whilst we visit." That said however it was almost abandoned. We arrived at GZ and honed in on the right spot immediately however the high muggle factor made a thorough search very difficult. Then more approaching muggles (or so we thought) meant I decided to abandon the search. Imagine our surprise when the people following also searched furtively in the bushes. Introductions briefly made these new to the scene cachers had the idea - sortly after their friends also arrived! Hmmmm... at least a group doing something odd in the park looks a little less suspiscious than a single person doing something suspiscious in the park.....(I hope) A few minutes later I made the find with the assistance of some torchlight. It wasn't dark but the added illumination does make spotting cache containers a little bit easier. Cache in hand we signed (took group photos) and left. Thanks Maccamob
 

7th

Dropped a Dog Tag with "standardfuel". Hope it goes a long way.
 

7th

Eventually found this with the "Wilderness Explorer" , it was more difficult than first thought and we needed outside help from "The Tone". Plenty of muggles so be-careful. Its where you expected but look deep. Dropped off the Travel Bug.
 

7th

Found with Propeller-head after visiting the Titanic expo. TFTC
 

3rd

Went to go to the Titanic but booked out. Walked in park instead.
Thanks
 

3rd

Found on our 2nd attempt,

Well we were in town to watch the might magpies flog the eagles, and we thought we would stop in and check out the Titanic exhibition, unfortunately for us it was sold out? very disappointing to have come all the way down to see it and we weren't allowed in... Last time we looked for this cache was about 1 year ago when we popped in to see the dinosaurs, Hanseeka found this one while i was taking photos at the fountain.

Thanks for the cache.
Jonti.
 

3rd

Tryed to find this one last year but it seemed such a large area to search, but now the place has been barracaded and the area was narrowed down, we had the cache in had in minutes! No Muggles today as last time there was scores of school buses. Signed log and read some signs to discover this was the first place the Australian flag was revealed and flown! Then off we went on our way to watch Collingwood thrash the Eagles. TFTC Karen.
 

3rd

Had attempted about 1 year ago but was to muggly.
Today area narrowed and crowd minimal.
Had a coffee whilst signing log.

28th

Absolutley freezing today. This however meant muggles were hard to come by. This took about 5 mins of searching, but a relatively easy find once GZ was narrowed down. Replaced the cache and headed off for the Titanic Artefacts display. Also passed a woman doing a photo shoot in Summer clothing (poor girl). TFTC
 

20th

TFTC, Took Bunny keyring and placed, Dragon/Bat Phone/Key ring. Also Placed Trackable and took Jax Signal Geocoin - Jan 2006.
 

19th

We were over for the Fremantle Dockers Game and I managed to get a pass to go cache hunting, very good container, dropped our GC in and grabbed it out again. TNLN SL TFTH and bringing us here.
 

19th

Easy find but look out for glass and other garbage.
 

15th

I see others had the same initial impression as me - this cache has got to have gone. But No, there it was, large as three cups of tea! I am surprized that I haven't looked for this one before today. I took the Eternity Geocoin and left a carpenter's pencil. Thanks maccamob. I caught your presentation on the ABC earlier this week - very well done.
 

6th

A 0610 hrs grab before work. Be careful builders arrive at around this time and had to be watchful.
The exhibition building and grounds is beautiful and would be a great place for a picnic before visiting the near by Museum.

Cleaver container!
 

2nd

Nice easy find. Even with the dig going on right next to it. Thanks
 

31st

Took two tries. Had to wait for the workers to leave. Went to the Titanic exhibition and found the cache on our way back to our hotel. Beautiful location and great hiding spot.

T- eight ball key chain
L- highlighter and seal toy

We travelled 16,800 km (from Canada) but the last 2 meters were the hardest!

TFTC


 

30th

After arriving at GZ I thought this cache would be out of action with the construction going on but it is still active.

After some searching the cache was revealed and while rolling back up the scroll log a fellow cacher arrived (RodHelena). Overall a good experience, the gardens are loverly although the location of the cache did smell a bit.

Took "10 Googol" and "FTF" geocoins.

TFTC
 

30th

Finally! Found on my third attempt. I wasn't thinking big enough.

Great cache. Love the container.
 

30th

Tried to find this cache a mth ago in the dark, poking bushes with sticks but the search was fruitless. So tried today during the day & met a fellow cache hunter (Turtlesedge) signing the log! What a great cammo! Took Volkswagen GC & left '8 ball keyring'. SL. TFTC.
 

27th

8th find for the night during a night caching run with my partner in crime Marshy (Blacklegend17). Took a little while to find but got it eventually. Dropped off two coins and a travel bug. Possums everywhere too. Fun to watch. TFTC.
 

25th

Found this at lunchtime on a rainy afternoon. Not too many muggles - too wet and rainy to notice us.
Gorgeous building (and gardens!).
Thanks
 

23rd

Nice Container! Had to hunt for this one quite a bit, it was dark and hard to see. took nothing, left lace. TFTC!
 

22nd

Nice one. Took TB and left some toy thing. TFTC.
 

15th

A quick search had cache in hand, made easier by kids distracting the locals! TN L TB Going South, TFTC.
 

15th

Tried this one when I first started caching but with no success, so back today with R36 and success in a few mins. Original cache container, first of that type that I have seen!

10th

A long search for this one an a flaky GPS at night. Had to walk it in a few times before deciding on a good GZ to search. Got it in the end and took the cache for a short walk to sign log due to muggles. Took 3 x travelers with me from the cache.
 

8th

this was a beautiful setting for a cache left 3 trackables and took 1 thanx
 

27th

After the fourth attempt, we finally found it! Thanks to Tony wouldn't have done it without him.
TFTC.
 

22nd

Could not find it.
People everywhere. Like dont people have homes to go to.
Poked around for like 40 mins. It was night.
Will try in day time next week.

 

21st

0600 hrs and some construction workers turning up to work - abandoned search. To return another day
 

14th

Didnt find it though did stick me hand in a hole and located a possum! Scared the crap outta me! After a few close spider encounters and not having my trusty gloves on me I let this one be. Next time.
 

11th

Found after about 20 minutes searching. Left geocoin brought over from the UK.
 

4th

Find 4/6 for the day, don't worry about the nearby construction work, it's boundaries stop about a metre short of the cache
 

3rd

I found this one some months ago, and passed by on the way to comedy festival show tonight. I may be wrong but gz may now be inaccessible behind construction walls as part of garden restoration.  

10th

Had a meeting to attend in the city today, So at lunchbreak I quickly made for this site.
Managed to find and sign, then make a discreet exit from there.

27th

Following extensive conversations with the local possum population - who know no fear of humans, it is a worry! - we poked and poked until we hit something hard. Retrieval seemed tricky at first, until the obvious method came to mind. It was late at night, and the guard of the Exhibition building seemed a bit suspicious of us. However, he did not approach us but walked away, and if he called police, they did not come before we strolled back to our car. We had read about the archaeological dig in the papers - nice to see it through the little window now!
Thanks Mary and David

A case of second time lucky for this one, found straight away today on our way to the Rod Show. Parked cars even provided cover!
Grabbed the geocoin and left a TB.
My thanks to Mary & David
 

22nd

Trip to Melbourne Muesum and took the opportunity to cross this one off the list. Spider Mum was on to it straight away. Thinks like a true Geocacher. Spiderman Detective was impressed. TFTC.
 

17th

Can't understand all these people writing 'Easy Find' hmm

my fiance & I wandered around the bridal fair their today adn I was keen to find this one. We had 3 different GPS programy thigns telling us several locations, but I believe we were in the right spot looking at the Google Satelitte pic..........

Have taken some pics and will read logs carefully now......[?]
 

11th

Nice easy find my first for Ausi left geocoin

 

10th

Cache is safe and sound right where it it supposed to be. We collected the 'Snowman from Prague' and the 'Tennis' TBs.
 

9th

This is the 3rd DNF in a row. Maybe it has been muggled???

 

1st

I was unfortunately not able to find this very early on New years day. I should maybe have studied Google Earth first, as coordinates where not precise. Maybe another time....
 

31st

Beating around the wrong bush.... maybe next time.
 

16th

Found with Iggy, right after seeing the premiere of Avatar!

16th

Fun cache, found after seeing Avatar. Easy find, TFTC.
 

15th

Tyfc. Fantastic find.
 

11th

This originally should be my very first cache in Australia. But - I had to give it a second try to actually find it. First I thought that the construction made the cache gone away. But after careful study of all logs I cam to the conclusion that I was the problem - not the construction work. I finally got it in the night after having some beers. So for all after me: give it a try. It's still there.
In: 1 TB - Out: 3 coins, 1 TB
Will carry back the stuff to good old Europe to make some miles...

We came to Australia with www.musicontheroad.cz

22nd

Team Parsim stopped by this wet and windy day and, after a frolic in the gardens, located the cache without too much trouble. The contents were a little wet so we bagged them up before returning. Also Little Miss Geocache took a ring (now worn on her thumb) and left a bottle of glitter.

Returning the cache involved much loitering around, waiting for a young canoodling couple to stop fussing with each other and move on!

TFTC!
 

21st

We had some spare time so used the handy free internet connection at the museum to find a nearby cache. We were worried the nearby construction works may have devoured the cache. So close!! Needed a drink after all the worry. TFTC.
 

19th

Dropped out of the Melbourne Museum to grab this. Very cool container. T GC LN SL TFTH
 

17th

Have to search for a while. Not to many muggles over there. TFTC
 

16th

I was visiting for a meeting and took the opportunity to go for a walk in this part of town beforehand. There was lots of foot traffic at the time because it was the start of the work day - people scrambling everywhere. It was nice to sit nearby and watch the world go by for a little while. (I had previously attempted this in an evening, at the time of the floral festival (?), and there were too many security guards around to have a good look.) Nice idea for recycling that sort of container. TNLN, TFTC (and sorry about slightly delayed posting).
 

14th

Now when I had looked the ground zero from satellite picture, this was an easy find. This cache will not get too warm even in summer! Greetings from Finland!
 

14th

Find # 617 @ 08:25 and my 3rd for the day with tackle_head whilst attending the "WWFM VI Loosen the purse strings event" in the city.
Clever hide and an easy grab as no one around this hour of the morning except for the one council worker who was more interested in the grass than us.
Thanks for the cache maccamob.
 

14th

Found with 3up while on a day of caching in the city and attending WWFM loosen the purse strings , an easy find but would have been good to have a cuppa after that - thanks maccamob
 

12th

Approached GZ with a feeling of dread there appeared to be a construction zone right on top of it. All was good however and I soon had yet another magnificent Maccamob cache in my hands.

11th

#1002 (2/5 on a city circle tram excursion on a hot Melbourne day). Searched a bit, then read logs, then Troodles found we were standing right next the cache. Very impressive building, and nice shady spot. TFTC.
 

11th

A couple of cars acted as a shield while we searched. What a great container!
But what are those green mini plastic thingamees that were dotted around the gardens??? (possum tents?)
TFTC.
 

10th

Found it easier to retrieve and log with the construction happening Visiting from Vancouver, Canada. TFTC. Didn't see any TB's in there.
#179
 

8th

On arriving I was concerned the construction might have spelt the end of this cache - but no, it was soon uncovered! TFTC
Drak the Dragon TB and the Rowan Gypsy Geocoin were not present in the cache - but I did find a Travel Bug "Gone Fishing." I'll give the previous holder a few days to log his find and swap before log it myself.

2nd

Found on a visit to musuem with EB Chief and EB Nano. How the hell did he manage to get over the fence? Or did EB Nano wriggle under it? Coz as I was trying to get my gpsr to tell me it wasn't in the construction zone, EB Chief walks up and says, "Here it is". Put in Drak's dragon TB and EB Chief left Gypsy Geocoin. Thanks for the cache.
 

2nd

On a visit to the musuem, thought we'd do a quick find, with EB Nano & EB Max. Hah! Walked close to GZ where a water tanker and a crew of 6 were setting up to tend to the flowers. Gpsr tells me the hide is approx. 11 metres the other side of the construction fence. This should be interesting. Look through the wire portals to see if I can spot any obvious hiding spots in there. Decide that with all the muggle activity and gpsr playing silly buggas, that we should return after the musuem visit. just our luck, Pompeii display finished a week ago, thanks EB Max for that uptodate check on the website. After a fairly ordinary culinary experience at musuem cafe, or is it really a display of antiquities, we returned to find 5 of the crew had left but the tanker was still there. Patiently we watched him pack and leave within the next 10 minutes. Yay. Double checking through the wire, we quickly had the cache in hand and returned to our car to write the log. EB Max put in drak's dragon TB while I put in Gypsy Geocoin. First type of this sort of cache, thankyou for the experience. EB Chief

After reading the comment about workers setting up in the area, I decided to check on my way to work. The cache is still accessible and is also still there. Happy hunting.

Easy find after two unsuccessful cache hunts elsewhere in Melbourne. Took nothing, left GC & TB. TFTC.
 

21st

Found at 1100. Was Melbourne for the day and a few hours to kill before meeting up with a friend, so I decided to walk out to this one from Southern Cross Station. Once at GZ, the GPS was pointing in between two likely locations, so I checked the obvious one first before ringing the help line to narrow down the search area of the second so I didn't go disturbing anything I shouldn't. Having narrowed down the area somewhat, another couple minutes of searching had the cache in hand.

I have been here a few times when I was in school and also two years for an exhibit on the human body. Unfortunately I didn't have time to visit today, but I'm always keeping an eye out for interesting displays.

Thanks maccamob.
 

19th

Couldn't get. Too many muggle builders around for a safe recovery. Will need to try very early or late.
 

14th

My only cache on this trip, very nice container. pity about the weather though, TFTC. took lion pin left chinese pendant..I assume TB is still there, I didn't know what it was ( search through nokia phone doesnt tell me!! ) so didnt take notice!!

4th

Found this delightful little cache last night. A few late night muggles getting about but I'm sure we went undetected. The traveling dogtag was there but we left it alone. If it is still there this weekend, I will relocate it to Brisbane next week as I am heading up there for work. Great spot and thanks!
 

3rd

Hmm, 2nd attempt in two days - and still unable to locate! Lots of muggles around. even had 5yr old geokid along to try and make a search unobtrusive - kids are always handy for things like that. Didn't help though
 

22nd

Third Time lucky!

Found it this lunchtime after two previous attempts. First attempt was yesterday lunchtime but was stymied by a security guard wandering around right on top of GZ. Gave it another go yesterday afternoon, taking a wide detour on my way home from work. This time I was muggled out. The blighters were everywhere and they all wanted to walk through this point.

So it was with bloody mindedness rather than hope that I went back today. Maybe it was the weather and the threat of rain that kept people away but I had the GZ to myself, despite the fact it was lunchtime during school holidays with blockbuster exhibition at the museum nearby.

My hunch about the location was on the money and I had the cache in my hand with out any fuss. It went back just as easily.

Dropped off Alan the Raven TB but otherwise SL TNLN.

found at night after the Pompeii exhibition. Very good cache hide as went looking once before with no luck. TFTC
 

8th

We decided to look for this cache after watching the latest Harry Potter movie. It was around 10pm and, unfortunately, we did not bring a torch light. It took us some time to locate the hide. There are definitely fewer muggles at night. We would recommend looking for this cache at night. However, using a torch would make it easier. We took nothing but left the stubs of our movie tickets in the container. The log is nearly full. Thanks for the cache.
 

4th

A late night walk took me to this place. The cache was found after some searching! Very clever hidingplace! Left a TB with goal to go to Australia (check) and two coins that I brought from Sweden (the Sweden Hawk coin is my own) Thanks for the cache!

What an AWESOME cache..... And Way out in the OPEN.... Man this was cool...

Thanks maccamob for a great cache.

Also thank you for placing a regular cache out there for people who only have a few hours to cache. There are so many mysteries and multi's that had me second guessing myself.

Note to selves: trust the coordinates and don't just *assume* where the cache should be.
Once we followed the GPSr, it only took a little reaching around to find the cache.

Thanks for an interesting hide at a great spot (and for making us rethink our geo-complacency!).

Didn't leave any swag, because we forgot to bring any tonight! -_-

Great first Melbourne cache for me! (I'm over from SA)
Still getting used to my GPS a little bit, but after spending a little bit of time in the right sort of area, I was able to hone in more precisely on the right point and then found it easily.
Relatively little foot traffic around, however there was a pesky security guard/parking assistant dude who hung around a bit!

20th

My 100th find!!!
I arrived at GZ around 4pm with Team Board Shorts and our grandparents with us. Thank goodness for grandpa's walking stick otherwise we wouldn't have found the cache. Coordinates were about 4 meters off and most of us searched in the larger garden bed while pa went along and searched through the ivy with his walking stick. No muggles around while we were searching thankfully. We had soon uncovered the cache (the first I have seen of this kind, nice camo!) and had the rather large log sheet signed. Nothing much to trade in there so TNLN. TFTC!!!
No sign of the TB.
Overall experience: 7/10
 

17th

A very nice find for our thirtieth. Tried first at around 1400hrs, but about a gizillion muggles stopped us searching. Came back at around 1545hrs on way back to car and was much better. Grandad sat down, and put his hand right on it. We had a 'cup-o-tea' for a while then stashed it back nicely. Thanks for the cache
 

16th

Cache #264. Found at 22:49. I saw many possums on my way to the cache. And fruit bats too. At GZ it took me one grab and the cache was mine. A quick log and onward to the next cache.

A nice big cache in a VERY public location. Loads of people around, but I had enough people with me to be able to tell when nobody was looking in our direction.

Glad to say this one survived the International Flower Show, an initial attempt last week was aborted because without getting too close we thought the cache might be inside the show.
What a brilliant place for a cache, we did this just on dusk and it was still a relatively easy find. Think we spotted the ‘bloody knawer’ as we got close to the GZ, which meant I had to do the retrieve, Mummy wanted nothing to do with what appeared to be a large rat.
What a great cache container, it helped with the stealth; no-one took much notice of a couple of old farts sitting in the park having a cuppa. Also had a chat to a MR O. Possum on the way out and checked out the parts of the CML building that reminded me of a Greek ruin for some part of the walk.

We saw a couple of possums strolling around, and loads of bats overhead. Nice one.

Fantastic spot for a cache, and how nice it was to hunt for a cache without having to be too furtive about it.! (Dont like those dingy dark alleyways around town)

What a magnificent building this is, especially compared to the Museum alongside it. It makes you wonder what buildings may look like in another century or two!

Took the TB and signed the log, many thanks for the cache in this awesome spot.

At 10.45AM we arrived at GZ in the lovely gardens and not too long afterwards Speedy had the prize in hand.Was not expecting what we found but thats caching.

Couldn't believe how many possums were wandering around GZ keeping an eye on me,
You could almost see GZ from the balcony of my room at the Quest,

Passing through Melbourne I took the time to visit some great cafes in Lygon St. On my walk around the area I visited this beautiful garden. Hardly anyone around on this rainy, cold day. On my first approach, I thought GZ was somewhere else. Seems like others have too. Not long after the GPS settled and the very clever cache was located easily. Wildlife will definitely not be gnawing on this one, not unless they want a cuppa. The log scroll is getting very full and will need replacing soon.

This was a nice find near some fantastic architecture. Was very impressed with the camo job. As I walked away along a nearby street I encountered the likely culprits who destroyed Mk I and II of this cache - a family of possums. First there was Mum with a baby on her back who didn't mind me being only 2 metres from them until I got my camera out and then she got shy and went up a tree. Dad then sauntered over to see what was going on. They probably think that cachers are a good source of possum tucker. Thanks maccamob for bringing us here.

Took a bit of rummaging, but it was found within a few minutes - Huge cache! As a result I didn't leave anything, but did let the BMX TB join us for our next road trip...

Managed to hide it back without any muggle interference...


 

25th

Found @ 16:30. Had an exam just round the corner this afternoon and finished early so pulled out the GPS to see if there was a close cache and this was only 300m away. Made my way to GZ and was surprised how quiet it was considering the time. Found in a couple of minutes and re stashed before the peak period of muggles started. Thanks. No swaps today.
 

24th

Our first find in Victoria. Very nice park. Took "Daphne" TB which was in the cache, but is not listed in its inventory. This cache has been around for a long time log book was almost full. We did notice that apparently some vermin has eaten a hole in the bottom edge of the cache box. We replaced the cache with the hole down, but it will need a new container to stop water getting in. Thanks for the cache ! Andrew and Maryan.

Rang the Partic Help line after 15 minutes of searching and then saw it while on the phone to him, thanks anyway Partic! The log book is full and the box has been rechewed, so might need some tape or something. I left Ham Bug TB and took the Round Tuit TB, no other swaps.

Took Mungo TB and The active frog TB for a trip to Tassie.
 

13th

Afternoon had turned warm and sunny...that's what we had come to Melbourne for. Windy is okay as long as there's sun.
Field trippers enjoying this area too as we headed out to our next search. GPS had tamed itself so the hunt was successfully completed without harming any exhibits.
Traded geocoins.
Thanks maccamob for getting us to this part of the city...
kudos to tram service.

We found this cache with relative ease today as there weren't many people around. TNLN & SL at 1:50pm. While returning back to the city (and at least 100m from the cache), mrs38 found a scarf that looked rather like her own - a quick check of her neck and she came to the realisation that it WAS her scarf! Her second lucky find in as many minutes! TFTC maccamob!

Another find while out for a walk @ lunchtime. TFTC.

GPS was playing up for a while and I was walking in circles in the car park (forgot to print out the clue!) Anyway great place to hide it, luckily there weren't many muggles around! Didn't have anything to swap but dropped off geocoin. Thanks!

Finall! 4th attempt and found it with Bluecat who spotted it in daylight. Many thanks to the garderners whom had did some works at the GZ!!

TNLSL, TFTC
 

15th

Found on my second attempt. The lack of a clue and lots of muggles made it a bit tricky. I went back early (8:20am) on a Sunday morning thinking that there would be no one there unfortunately I was wrong as the park was full on dog walkers and joggers. I found it eventually. Thanks for the cache
 

5th

Found near the friendliest possums I've ever seen....and the hungriest. I thought about giving them some msg from over in the hedge (there was enough trash in there).
TNLNSL - (well I was un-prepared for a night caching )

Also was swayed to a TomTom after seeing rally's working during the night....Tim, keep your navman but thanks for the loan

P-P-P-Pingu! Pingu!


 

5th

Pleased to see our hard earned tax dollars paying teachers to cache . This one was an easy find for me tonight as I looked from the right approach and recent gardening made it pretty obvious. Grabbed at night with Rubik and Pinguone with only the possums watching.
 

5th

It appears the gardner has taking a liking to this cache and managed to trim the area back everywhere else except for where the cache was located! I had been planning to do this cache twice during the last year on school excursions to Imax, the most recent just last week! Time constraints and naughty students meant that I never had the chance. It's nice to finally have it crossed off the list.

Thanks,

R - B

Paid the cache a quick visit today to see how the new container is faring. All looks great. Many thanks to SamCarter for the rescue mission.  

22nd

Yesterday I was wandering back from inflicting exam-pain on my students in the nearby eponymous edifice, and noticed that GZ had received attention from the groundpeople. Consequently I thought I'd check on the cache. It was there but I was rather startled to be able to see the contents inside it. I had to be elsewhere urgently and there were too many muggles around at the time to check the damage, and so I went back tonight with a replacement container just in case. I have no idea what put the two holes in the original cache container, but it looks as if it has been eaten into by some animal -- I kid you not [:o]. (My thoughts yesterday were that it might have been damaged by some maintenance equipment, but the forensic evidence is against this hypothesis.) Unfortunately my replacement container is not quite as good quality as the original sistema (although hopefully less appetising ), but I have ziplocked the contents, and hope that this will suffice. Please ensure the lid is clicked on properly.  

11th

The tree did look like an obvious hiding place but the GPS sent us elsewhere and we soon had the cache in hand.

Took: mint, croc pencil holder, coins, mirror, bottle opener, bouncy ball, keyring
Left: 2 gel pens, giant balloon, spring, 2 sets stickers, camel, stationery clip
 

10th

498th cache and 18th find for the day in Melbourne, what a busy day.

GPS took us straigt to the spot, Barra4 was the finder and we loved the possums here at night.

2007-06-10 09:53 We stayed across the road last night so I decided to locate this one before we headed to the Aqurium. I spent a little time inspcting the nearby fig tree and taking potos of the little images in it then went in search of the cache. After about 2 minuets I found it 3 m from GZ. No swaps today. Thanks for the hunt

HUH, an easy find!!- even if what here were a billion brow furrowed student muggles loitering after doing exams in the nearby building. Love all the autumn leaves falling - don't get them in Brisbane! TNLN TFTC
 

7th

Found with Mrs Lat&Long. 1000s of students sitting exams today. Most wearing serious/worried faces and not caring about a couple of middle-aged cachers trying to be invisible. Grabbed the Period 1 TB and left a blind spot mirror for the optically-challenged.

Found 22:20. 11th of 12 FFTD. In Melbourne for a couple of days of intensive studying and caching . Why is always so eerie caching in a place that is desserted in the middle of the night [:o]. T: x2 TB's and discovered another, L: nothing, SL. TFTC.

Hi, I'm unable to find this cache after 4 separate attempts. I'm a newbie to geocaching and have a TB from overseas I would like to drop off in it. Perhaps someone could help me out with some additional hints - please send to lorahpj@yahoo.com. Thanks!
 

16th

There were lots of muggles out and about today. I was unable to locate the cache before it got dark. It is near a neat building, thanks for pointing me in that direction on my visit to Melbourne!
 

14th

Revisited this cache in order to set "Devils in Danger TB" back on route to Scotland after a Tasmanian detour.  

29th

Dropped off The Princess Diaries TB into this cache as it is central and well visited by tourists.  

28th

Whilst visiting the Melbourne Museum (well yes we only came for the Neighbours set inside as we are pomes!!) thought we'd have a quick cache. Took travel bug and left Malaysian coin. TFTC!

A nice, quick find after an extensive tram ride around town, and after watching the ANZAC day parade (very moving). After finding cache, it was a quick move on to the MCG to watch the Magpies v the Bombers, and sadly the Bomber lost, but a great gamae anyway. Last time we were in the MCG it was to see England actually win a one day cricket game back in Feb!

Quick visit to drop Miya Jima travel bug off at another world heritage site!
 

10th

I had tried this one a week or so ago, forgetting that the flower show was on. Bad timing, as there were muggles and security folk everywhere! Today was much quieter, and success was (eventually) mine. Took reversible screwdriver, left Norwegian postcard geocoin (its owner would like to receive a postcard, and the coin hopes to return to Asia for further travels).

17th

Found by B-Team late in the afternoon. Fortunately, there were no events going on nearby, which allowed me plenty of opportunity to puruse the possible choices, of which there were many. Successfully located and completed a series of transactions - took US$2 and Wright Stuff TB; left key ring and Tizoc TB. Good Luck!
 

14th

not to many muggles around so was able to have a good look. Was unable to locate it ... had a good look all around but to no avail i was having GPS trouble but may i suggest a maintenance check?


 

27th

Got here today at about 1:00pm. Too many muggles about so I gave this one up for another day.
 

25th

Found at 1:30pm on a quiet Sunday so not many muggles at all. Well hidden.
Left plastic alligator

16:45 I watched an episode of the Simpsons where for some strange reason we tried to give Bart the boot - well this TB needs the boot and a lift back to Springfield USofA. TNL-TB  

16th

Ahhh! My first real cache in the land of Oz! Weather and circumstances have twarted my previous attempts at a regular cache. I did manage find a micro near my hotel in Sydney, though. Had to come back a second time to this one after spending too much time looking in the crevices of the fig tree yesterday. My wife was getting impatient with me because she wanted to go get some mousaka from the Stalactites. Anyway, today was quick work. Took the TB and left two in its place. Traded out the Italian lire and the Indian rupee for a $2 bill. Thanks for the cache!  

6th

Found today, 8.45am. Easy find, lots of muggles strolling to work but they took no notice of silly tourist taking photos. Was in town getting car serviced, and had an hour or so to lose.
TNLN. thanks Maccamob.
 

4th

Found on 2nd attempt, with some extra hints from maccamob (Thanks!) - seems our GPS put us about 20m off the first time. Left Franken Bones TB that wanted to be near dinosaurs.
 

2nd

Kev & Jess dropped by at 8:00PM. Tricky spot, with several possible hiding places around! As we were looking through the cache, a couple of Scandinavian tourists stopped to ask us for directions to the nearest bathroom.

Took Dutch storybook and Magnus TB. Left OpenLaszlo bottle opener and SecureCon lanyard pen.

TFTC!

P.S.: Log book is full, and people have started recording their logs in blank spaces on previous pages.

8:00am. Had to time this right to ensure the muggle riding the leaf vacuum round and round was travelling in the other direction and the bikers, walkers and joggers were all in the right position. Dropped off Magnus of Alta Norway TB who came with me from Adelaide. Beautiful world heritage listed building. The other side is even better. I'm sure the abomination next door will never achieve this. Forgot to discover the Lion TB, but removed the Ascensor TB.
 

4th

Returned to this highly visited cache to drop the "Clau d'ascensor" travel bug. Please make sure it travels across Australia!  

4th

Yay! Found my first cache, this being the closest active one to my work. Took 2 attempts (what with Muggles about) and i'll admit i almost lost hope of finding it, pretty hard with the variance in the GPS & all the leaf litter & rubbish amidst the ivy. Just had to keep my back to the wall and found it in the end! So excited, don't think i actually put my name in the log entry! Took the little green frog and left a well wrapped Chuppa Chup for an energy boost for the next Cacher!

16:23 Finding this cache is the end of an epic saga - I have visited GZ no fewer than 5 times over the course of the last year, unsuccessful each time until today - the funny thing is that I have always looked in the same spot - I reckon that each previous occasion, someone saw me coming - removed it and then put it back after I left Thanks David & Mary for the challenge.

In town for training and this one popped up very close to where we were staying. A sobriety challenged gentleman lay on the grass nearby and seemed to be watching me through glassy eyes but eventually he nodded off and I was able to retrieve the cache with little fuss. Took nothing but left a santa for Christmas.

Tnx for a nice diversion.
 

6th

A new job as of Monday sees me in the City again, after some 6 months. I guess this time I best use the opportunity to get out & grab some of the many good caches here.

I needed a break for lunch; this was the closest so I decided to head for it.

Thank goodness for the pen in the cache, since I stupidly walked out without bringing my own.

The log by the way is anything but nearly full, if only people would double side the log book!!!

Thanks David & Mary for the diversion.

Logging drop-off of "Mr. B" TB.  

3rd

Found by Pickupfamily Dad and Son at 2020hrs, managed our 300th cache before getting Son home just a little bit late for bed before school tomorrow. Pickupfamily Dad had done a half-hearted search for this alone many months ago, but with two of us, we could cope much better with the muggles. Found that the technique of approaching from a few different directions to "triangulate" GZ worked very nicely in narrowing down the position and helped us find the container eventually.

Left Mt Burns TB, took nothing. Thanks Maccamob.

Second visit this week. Yesterday I was going about my search when all of a sudden the doors opened and thousands of uni students filed out of exams. End of search. Today I widened my search and eventually came up trumps. Well hidden and camoed. Left ruler took nothing.
 

17th

It took a while but we eventually found this one! There was a bit of rubbish around which made it a bit harder as we thought we had found the cache a few times. Good hiding place we enjoyed this one. Picked a good time by accident as there were very few muggles.
Took: Indian figurine (Mondo figurine)
Left: Bouncy ball

On my third try! This time I first looked at all the maccamob caches I have found, and was encouraged! Then my gps took me somehere that looked promising and there it was! Easy really!??##!! lol. Thanks maccamob for another good cache. Took Cat, Left Tiger. Synergy there!

9th

Kinda hard not to look suspicious hanging around here at 9pm, but was able to find the cache in between passers by.

On my way to the cache, I passed through the park and was greeted by a couple of Possums. "How cute", I thought but noticed that they didn't seem afraid of me . After a few photos, I realized that they not only were they not afraid of me, but they were moving closer and there were 6 of them ! Being outnumbered and unsure how friendly the locals are I decided to make haste from the area [B)]! Thanks for the fun and exciting evening!

A few muggles around. Searched relatively thoroughly but obviously not thoroughly enough.

8th

tried for a lunchtime grab. but there were bus drivers sitting in their buses with nothing better to do than speculate what I could be loitering around for, shifting position occasionally and consulting something they've probably only seen on Star Trek. I reckon the best plan of attack under such circumstances is to come back later.

14th

Last Wednesday over a nice dinner at my colleague's house this cache was discussed. Since he is stationed in Melbourne and we are only here on a business trip, who would find it first?
So during the last hours before flying out we gave it a try, and... got it within 5 minutes or so. No problems at all finding this one. What might be of influence here is that we found it on Good Friday: not a soul in sight.

Towards "the Zweggles" I'd like to say: Happy hunting, but we beat you to it

5th

What a place to put a cache. Umpteen thousand muggles at ALL times of the day and night. Able to extract this one after 20 minutes of looking (40 minutes at GZ due to muggles). Took even longer to replace. The boy had to create a minor diversion nearby (kicking a can) to get people to look away.

Well hidden and well cammoed Maccamob.

1st

The cache is definitely there. It requires a quiet time so there a few muggles around, but it is easy to find. Take the obvious approach. The GPS may swing around a bit, but there is not really a big area to search. TNLN. Thanks for the hunt.
 

22nd

Looked for about 20 minutes with no luck. Did find a cute little animal with huge eyes. It looked sweet enough but didn't want to stick my hand anyplace I couldn't see after that! It was VERY HOT out, since was the next to last day of my vacation I didn't have a chance to look again on a more pleasant day. As a newbie geocacher I learned a few things about the sport...always bring gloves for one, don't go out when it's over 40* for another. Thanks, Pudy
 

8th

Checked cache today - it's certainly hasn't gone walkabout, but is still comfortably in place. Difficulty increased by one, as it is well hidden.  

4th

NOPE!,

Tried looking for it but to no avail.
We did find a suitable gap that would of been perfect to hide a cache.

However I'd say this one has gone walk about.
 

2nd

The car park was empty today, but alas we couldn't locate the cache. Another trip is definitely called for.




 

25th

We were finally able to do a maintenance check today. The cache is still ok - just well hidden. The Spider TB was looking a bit too settled, so we grabbed it to put somewhere else.  

5th

Things don't look very hopeful. Disabled until we can have a good look around.  

26th

5 days ago and tonight, searched the cache to drop TBs from Perth and could not find it. I have been there a few times dropping TBs previously without any problem. It may be missing out? unless the cachers may have moved to the different place? Worth to check this one if it is so. Thanks.

Is Travel Bug [url=http://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?guid=81d7996e-8de8-4f2b-bc56-690bdefbcad6]Spider[/url] still in the cache?

Our second find while in Melbourne (we are on hols from WA). Turned up at GZ only to find a bus load of kids having lunch on the grass nearby! We sat around for ages waiting for them to go....

Finally they shoved off and we went looking frantically.

We looked under rather than in...but finally we found it!
 

3rd

Found by Bob at 10:45

After doing a couple of nearby BT caches, I thought I might as well try for this one too. It turned out to be a good day for it - I drove my mototbike around the tyre traps and parked a few metres from GZ and found the cache in about 30 seconds. There were no muggles within 100 metres, which is apparently most unusual for this area.

This cache has the most log entries I have yet come across (just beats WWWandering), which is a bit of a surprise considering it's location (i.e. a surprise that it is still there).

TNLN

Thanks maccamob
 

2nd

I picked this one up while killing some time after work, before meeting friends for dinner. I was suprised at the lack of people around while I retrieved this one but then all of a sudden the flood gates opened. I strolled around the gardens for a while before a break in muggle traffic allowed me to replace the cache.
Took TB
Left Lion
Thanks Maccamob for another great cache.
 

31st

My second day in Australia and the first cache for me here. My wife went with me and actually spotted it first. I am dropping off the MCB-Bug and hope it has it's picture made opening good beers and makes it way back to me. I also brought along my geocoin to log the miles.

Thanks. What a beautiful area!
 

30th

Not too many muggles for a Saturday. This Minnesota gal is happy to log this one as a find, on her second attempt. Helps to know the size of the container you are looking for. Had a little advice from my new Melbourne geocaching friend! Took Green Di. Left a golf ball.
 

21st

Often pass the area a varoius times through the day, but usually it is just too busy to even think of looking for it. Today brought luck as the place was empty and it wasn't raining!
TNLN

 

2nd

Found by The Facit Family at 11:30am

Took a few minutes out of the City Circle Tram Event to complete this cache. A short search had this in hand with a couple of other geocachers watching our every move, talk about pressure!

Took pack of pencils
Left rolling stamp pen and toy lion

Thanks Maccamob
 

2nd

Quick detour to grab this cache after the City Circle event (didn't have time or energy to walk extra distance during the event!) Well hidden and very impressed to see a cache that is on its second logbook! Thanks maccamob.
 

2nd

Did this while doing the city circle event. Took 50c left a cat. Thankz
 

29th

Hi maccamob. had a win today after several failures yesterday. Spectacular failures really. I have been desperate to get to 99 finds so I can make Embi's event cache my 100th. I will then have a double reason to celebrate, that date being my wedding aniversary and 100 caches. The question is which is more important. Hhhhmmmm.
GeoJen will no doubt have something to say about that.
Anyway swapped a largish dinosour for a samll action figure.
Thanks. These caches in public areas can be quite nerve wracking.
 

28th

7.30pm
Found by Roma and Max.
This was our 2nd assault on this site. This time the birds were kind, and put us alongside our objective.
Took:Green Lizard.
Left: Mondo Figurine.
Thanks maccamob,
from Romax.

 

13th

A quick detour with sarahg on our way to see a movie in Carlton. We thought we'd have trouble in the failling light, but the GPSr deposited me right on top of the cache again. Thanks to Maccamob for another fun cache.

Took: Photo frame.
Left: Anthropomorphic dog figurine.
 

13th

Found at 18:00 with SatyricTim on our way to Cinema Nova. That's a daring location! Since it was after dark and a little rainy tonight we had no trouble with muggles; and this one was surprisingly easy to find in spite of it being dark.

 

12th

Found with CraigRat's aunt - another muggle converted! No problem finding it despite it being a lovely, sunny afternoon after the remote-controlled car decided to move on. Muggles just weren't interested in this area. Took Shamrock Bear TB, left crocodile with an 'excitable' tongue.
 

5th

Finally at 1911 we found it after 2nd attempt. Suprised it has not been muggled. Difficult due to alot of rubbish near by the cache.

Took: Playing Cards

Left: Photo frame, Pen, colouring pencils and
Shamrock Bear TB

Thanks maccamob.
 

30th

Muggles to the left of me, muggles to the right, feeling very exposed. At least there are good satellites here.
Lovely old building, pity the thing next to it does not blend in a bit better.
Great Fig tree near GZ - how could you resist it?
Took: TB Truffle Pig, Left: Pack of Cards.
Thanks, Robmc.
 

19th

Called in between other caches today and replaced the log book. Also dropped off TB "Miss Truffle" and took TB "Thara's Nautica Bug" in exchange.  

9th

Did this one on the way to work at 8.30 AM, found after a short search, had tried previously but two many muggles about. TNLN

The log book is full and the backs of the pages are full in this very well visited cache.

Thanks Macca Mob
 

25th

18:48 I was already on the way to the hotel, as it had become dark already (days in Scotland are currently a lot longer). But this one was easy enough as a night cache. I liked the nearby fountain lit by spotlights.
Left: Nautica TB
 

21st

YEaH! my very 1st cache in melbourne... on my 1st day here 2!!

25th

Wasnt where i was expecting it to be, but after about 20 mins of hunting around and waiting formuggles to pass, i followed my gpsr and bingo, it stood out like a sore thumb.
Took nemo tb, was going to drop kiwi tb off, but forgot to bring him with me.

 

10th

Across from the UK for a few days, took the opportunity of a break in the schedule to go find this one. GPSr took me straight there, and at 7:25pm there were not too many muggles about. Nice easy find.
TN L Nemo TB who is trying to get to the barrier reef.
Log book is full - found an empty page to fill in with a struggle.
Thanks for the cache
 

3rd

I meant to log this one ages ago. Found this with 3 boys I was babtsitting on an excursion to the museum. They loved the idea of the treasure hunt and i think I got them hooked. Can't remember what we took and left but we did leave some messages in the log book.
 

27th

Woo Hoo! Found it!! I can't believe how my GPS was so far off and then dead on and then off again. The 'obvious' hiding place is a good decoy!

T- Plastic Frog. L- NZ and Fiji Coins.

Allison T- Perfume L- Canadian Coins.
 

27th

We thought we'd pay another visit as we were introducing some new members of the team today.
T soldier & poppy
L dragon magnet & perfume
 

19th

A very tricky hiding place. Took the travel bug and left a pen.
 

16th

Quick visit to drop off Bluey the Triceratops TB.
 

5th

not an easy task in a muggle area, sat on wall looking when no one was watching, spoted the cache knocked bag off the wall on top of spot then picked it up with cache in hand. took one squashed kookaburra, taking up to the bush. cache looked a bit bare so i left a kangaroo, mondo and a frog.sliped cache back in the spot at headed off.

thanks
 

4th

I had a bit of a look for this one this afternoon, but there were too many muggles around for a good search. Perhaps next visit.  

29th

tried really hard to find it, but maybe it's gone...
 

19th

Dropped TB Kookaburra in and took TB Rubber Stamp to WA. Kooka is being squeezed in the cache and is anxious to get out of it!  

19th

Nice walk and beautiful park. Took shoeshine brush and left travel bug rubber stamp. Thanks
 

18th

Easy find, first Down Under for this Californian. TNLN, Thanks for the cache!
 

16th

4:30pm | Took Nothing... Left Wallet... Got wallet... Left Nothing

After yesterday's shenanigans on the poker run, I ducked out to finish the weekend's run of caches to get to the dozen in the weekend.

Found it easily, and Samantha & I were impressed with the Exhibition Building's gardener commenting last year that the cache was almost trashed, but he decided to leave it there - good decision.

Having left the swaps in the car, I checked through my wallet to see if there was anything worth leaving. Aside from some Taco Bill vouchers, there was not, and we were on our way. Almost home, stopped to shop, and panic set in as I found my wallet no longer with me. It fell from my pocket as we left the cache, and when we raced back, it was not to be found. Thankfully, an honourable cyclist found it along his way, and took the time to travel what may have been up to 5km out of his way to deliver it back to me. Top stuff!

Ahh, the adventures of Geocaching!
 

12th

I regularly ride past here to and from work but had only had one rather rushed look for this cache before today. It's a lovely area with now two impressive buildings nearby, and it's great to see the nearby fountain flowing again after the water restriction ended.
TNLN

Thanks maccamob

 

8th

This one was a little hard as our GPS was playing silly buggers! Also an awful lot of muggles around. Took book mark and left purple lighter.
 

8th

After a lot of time with the wife, we found it. We had probelms with both our GPS adn muggles but it is in agreat location none-the-less.
 

3rd

Found by Maya and Ray at 4:42PM on the 3rd of Jan. Maya is really in fine form today, she found it after a good search. It is a lovely location to sit and enjoy on a fine day. Being a holiday there are few observers to worry about. We took the hat and left a shoe shine kit. Thanks from The Nomads.
 

3rd

Found by Queen of Hearts, Keymaster and Diceman. Good spot in the city. Easy to find when you look in the right place and don't presume its somewhere else, ie the fig tree.

Took: Auscar keyring & Dinosaur
Left: Cadbury Playing cards and dice.
 

1st

We decided on this one as our first ever geocache attempt - found it nice and easy at 18:05 after a few minutes of searching. We're guessing that the local muggles were all at home with hangovers. Loved the gardener's entry - the man's a poet.
OUT : L1000 Italian coin
IN : beaded book thong


[This entry was edited by chocolatefrogs on Sunday, January 02, 2005 at 4:05:51 AM.]
 

1st

Did my first cache today with Kersti. It was easy to find and a nice walk.
 

22nd

A lightning trip up the road in order to catch the last sunlight of the summer solstice! GPS was further out than I would have expected, but found it nonetheless. Took I.C.E. Mantid Travel Bug, left coin.
 

30th

GPSr put Gz in the garden which i guessed was correct as it was too far from the nearby large tree.But 2 bus drivers nearby(50')having lunch put a good search out of the question. 14.00hrs - nice walk thru the surrounds.
 

30th

Found at 20:00 after a healthy 10 min. search.

Very fortunate that the area was muggle free at that time of the evening. Beautiful gardens and surrounds - I sat on a grass slope and leisurely read through the log book.

Loved the log entry from the gardener!

Surprised that a cache in this location has survived for so long.
Had no suitable swaps so TNLN

Our first interstate cache find - thanks maccamob!
 

27th

Dropped off T.B. "ice mantid" to continue it's travels.  

26th

Found by 4 Men and a Lady at 2100 on 26 November 2004 our last of 3 on this mini caching run.

We found this fairly easily and noted that the lid perhaps requires some maintenance on one of the clips.

Now to get home in time for the Glass House

Took Little Pink Horse
Left Basketball Card

Many Thanks to Maccamob
 

17th

Visited the cache tonight to check on the space left in the log book. The most recent visitors have started using the backs of the pages starting from the back of the book, which means the book is only a little over half full. We're off to Adelaide again in a couple of days so we'll help those TBs on their way westwards.  

15th

Nicely hidden!

We had just located the box and were about to enter the challenging 'box recovery' mode when the exhibition hall doors opened and a wall of about 1,000 student muggles marched at us. Held things up. One dropped a paper which revealled that they had been sitting a second year medical exam in the hall.

Some time later cache recovered.

TB Titan is not in the box.

Took TB Speedo.

Left TB's Helmet and Willy Worm who have been travelling together for some time now. We have brought them from the UK and Romania, through Sydney, Brisbane and Cairns. I hope they continue to travel far and wide together.

ALso released TB 'My two pennies worth' which wants to visit the homes of government in as many countries as possible before making its way back to the UK.

Took Monsters Inc plastic figure to make a bit of space for the TBs.
 

14th

Found at 5:15pm. This is not our first attempt at this cache. Was too easy this time - can't believe we missed it before.

Took: lizard
Left: geocoin 11022 'speedo'

thanks maccamob
 

13th

Early Morning chance to find this one with Lukey-boy jnrs in tow. Have attempted this over many work-time lunches only to be stopped many times by passing muggles.

Took: Titan T.B.
Left: Blue Monster (Scully)
 

12th

found by team energizer while visiting melbourne from Tasmania, must say caching in melbourne isn't as relaxing as it is in tassie, does anyone in this city ever slow down?

thanks for giving us an excuse to visit this great place, we probably wouldn't of stopped here if it hadn't of been for this game

I hadn't read the earlier logs, so didn't have a replacement logbook, it definately needs it

picked up Karabiner Kitsch TB
dropped off Titan TB from Tassie, enjoy your travels (he's a little squished in this cache so a local cacher might like to drop him in one with a little more room, we didn't have time to find a bigger cache to leave him in while in town)



[This entry was edited by energizer61 on Tuesday, November 16, 2004 at 7:53:43 PM.]
 

7th

Okay, found it - doh I was only 2 metres away from the first time I tried. Anyways, the log book is rather full and needs a replacement. Took the wizard, left a rememberance poppy pin.
 

3rd

Found it on my hollydays in Australia,

in TB ... ? from Singapor

out TB Hattifnatt

GC hpolzer from Germany, Bavaria
 

1st

I tried this one today at 15:00, couldn't find it, but maybe because I wasn't being thorough enough. I'll try again tomorrow.
 

24th

Found at 11:30am. I had wanted to visit this one for a fair while as I used to work just across the road. The parking hasn't improved much around here though . Although the area was fairly muggle free, it still took a bit of working around some nearby security guards.

Thanks maccamob from D,H,S,K,H & A B-A. Took TB Hinernating Bear, left TB Hattifnatt.
 

18th

Pretty easy to find this one, not many people around at sunset. Took a cat, left a wizard...
 

10th

Found it @ approx. 13:35

A beautiful park in the inner city. Great camoflage.

Took Pink candle
Left Nutrigrain sun hat & Hibernating Bear TB

Thanks Maccamob
 

8th

In area on business so thought I'd try some city caching. This seemed like a good intro. Found after 10 min of on and off searching. I'm glad I didn't have to search to hard as you never know what could be hidden in that place.

Left Mini motor 3-9 volt.
Took TB
Larry Boy TB visited too and Said "Super suction ears!!"

Thanks Maccamob
 

27th

Happen to be in this great city at a conference and decided to go caching. Nearest cache from the HTL was this one by Maccamob. Found the cache with no trouble. Opened the container and you could have knocked me down with a feather!! A YJTB my brother-in-law (OZGUFF) brought over from the US and deposited in NSW/QLD back in May. Already its found it's way to Mel. By a fluke a QLD geocacher deposited here only yesterday and had yet to log the visit! Sorry Vic cachers....this TB is off to SA (just like the AFL Premiership ) Left Filbert's Frequent Flyer Card TB as a consolation prize.

Cheers Rav 4 Raiders
 

25th

Just dropped down from QLD for a quick visit & decided to drop off the Jeep travel Bug. Didn't get time to update until now. Looks like the SA got more than the AFL cup. Good luck to them.

Style Camper
 

5th

Well hidden, and color-schemed as well! Took about 10 minutes to find as I didn't want to look dodgy. Faked a mobile phone call and pretended to drop something in order to search the spot. GPS was very accurate. Thanks again Maccamob!! TNLN.
 

7th

We had a few problems mastering the new GPS but got fairly close anyway. We searched in one area for about 5 minutes then checked the GPS and moved to a new area and found the cache at 6:25pm. It's very well hidden but we are surprised that it has survived given the heavily trafficked surroundings. Good work Maccamob. Even on a cold, wet evening there were still quite a few people around and we wouldn't want to be searching if there were lots of people about (which would be quite often). We took Tiger Balm and left a yellow plastic lizard. We also took Travel Bug "RaceHeks" to continue his/her/its travels.
 

1st

Found on 01/08/04 at 1645 AEST. Not too many muggles around on a Sunday afternoon and after a few minutes searching the smallest monster discovered the cache. Thanks MM
IN: RaceHeks TB
OUT: Pendant Pen

 

21st

Found it this time. Better EPE than last time.

Were a few muggles about but a well placed school bus shielded us from view and our kids acted as decoys. Last time was unsuccessful in April.

Fun time at the Children's Museum had after cache.

Thanks D & M

djcache & family

Took seeds left Mercure Hotel pen.



 

2nd

Found at 07:04 on 2/7/2004

GPS put me right on the spot and the swaps were done in peace. The first time I tried a couple of weeks ago there was a convention on so couldnt get near GZ for the hundreds of muggles.

Took - Sun Block
Left - Auscar Keyring


 

24th

After initially being out by over 15 meters and standing in the middle of the carpark looking like a dork, I headed over to where I though the cache might lie and let the GPSr settle down.
Sure enough after a minute or two, it said I was only 3 meters away and I started the hunt.
Fortunately there was no-one around, so I was able to hunt in style and found it within a minute or two.
I swapped the Bear Hair Clips (which G loves) for a Stegosaurus.
 

19th

No.8 of 12 for the day with Dak. The weather eased off a bit while we found a park and walked to the spot. This is a nice location for a cache.
Very disappointed with our 'fellow man' re. all the rubbish 'hidden' behind bushes etc. As it is a very busy public place; we had to become as sneaky as the 'litter bugs' to find the cache. We started to collect the rubbish as a subterfuge. It wasn't hard to fill Dak's CITO bag. We got the job done however. I turned my back to add some rubbish to the bag, and you guessed it! He found the cache. Again! Dak 6, Barcoder 2
Thanks maccamob.

IN: Bear hair clips
OUT: Nokia coin purse


 

19th

Found at 1535 in company with barcoder on a wet, cold, windy (basically miserable) day--eighth of eleven for the day. This is a very public place, so we had to employ sneaky tactics. We started a serious CITO activity--in the wind up, we collected a supermarket bag full before we found the cache. This is a nice big cache for the location. [^]

IN: Tiger balm, McDonalds soft toy, biro on a lanyard
OUT: Frog

 

26th

Nice spot... I'm just glad the weather was not too pleasant as this place could be packed. I only wish that Australia was not under a drought! Our 2nd find in Australia!!!

 

22nd

Found by VUK
Third attempt to find this one... each time i've come here there's been
a few people watching. Today there was lots of people but none taking any notice of me looking around. My GPS was about 1m off the mark so I snooped around a little and found it. I also found a couple of syringes a used condom and plenty of other stuff in the bushes. Its been the nastiest cache I've done so far.
Hey.... life is a series of experiences.... what can I say
Regards

16th

Found at 5.30pm on a very quite Sunday, so hardly anyone around to watch out for. Left GPSr to settle for a while and it eventually guided me to the "exact" spot. Found heaps of rubbish while looking and started to get concerned about our bare hands going in to the unknown.
TN/LN

Thanks maccamob.

 

22nd

Tried to find this at 6pm to no avail.Lifted and pulled when we could but as there were a few people around we wern't to thorough.Was going to go back today(23rd)but the rain put an end to that and Figuirehead cache,Boy does it get cold there or what!!!!!!and I'm a Kiwi.....never mind back in Perth now so next time.

 

13th

 

13th

Its amazing how many times I have sat around this location prior to geocaching totally unaware of what lies yonder.
Not anymore, today Mr.Coffee whispered out loud "found it over here". another score for the "geotech head beleive in your GPS may the force be with the Magellan" male. anyway enough rattling off, thank you Maccamob for this 26 min search cache. GPS was all over the place and averaging only increased confusion. according the the Garmin PDOP was running at up to 8 which may not have helped and the Magellan gold had only 3 sats coverage. left nothing took nothing, just enjoyed the find. again thanks Maccamob.

9th

On the way home from yet another day at the 13th Office (which didn't turn out to be a Good Friday really , (but that, Little Adam, is another story!!!)), I thought I'd have a shot at some caches that appeared on the "Nearest" waypoints screen of Geko. This one was there!!!

Taking the longer route, I got this one quite easily at 19:15. I didn't intend to take anything, but when I saw Smallworld TB (having become quite addicted to TBs), I decided to swap a pursepack 15+ sunscreen for the aforementioned TB. This cache would actually have been a great drop-off point for Flutters TB but unfortunately she didn't make the trek to 13th with me.

This being my second ever night cache, I am starting to get worried that when they are replaced, they will be too easily visible during daylight. Hopefully, it should be OK. If I can get down there over the next couple of days during daylight, I'll do the surreptitious walk-by to make sure that it is well hidden.

Thanks for yet another great "hide" maccamob .

 

1st

Well... no luck tonight. First of all, I thought the exhibition going on in the park would mess me up. However, I discovered I didn't need to go into the park, but there was a guard that was very curious as to what I was doing and came over to check me out.

Wound up recruiting him to help me look, but we came up completely dry. Must have spent 30-45 minutes looking. So is the Exhibitionist still there? One has to wonder....

 

29th

I was about to drop TB Smallworld from New Zealand into this cache on way to Perth from NZ. Found this TB Little George and thought I would swap and took Little George to Perth for a ride. It was a pleasant surprise.
 

28th

Tricky little fellow this one. First I decided to check out a more obvious spot. Then when everything settled down I was in a better position to locate the box. Neat camo.

I see the gardeners have been. Always nice when they are looking after your stash.

Left a travel bug to continue the journey.

Thanks for the cache.


 

28th

There were not too many people around, so this cache was not too hard to find. We spent quite a bit of time working our way along though. We picked up TB Blotts. Thanks for the cache Maccamob.

 

14th

Found our first cache!!...found quite quickly (10 mins) thankfully as it was 40 degree's celcius outside. Took superman toy and replaced with "eeyore" toy. Young son was pleased about his first treasure find Am addicted to this now and will carry the GPS everywhere.

Thanks for the cache

 

12th

2nd try at finding it, this time with less people around, probably due to the time (2amish). Found it fairly easily. Left nokia case, took water pistol.

 

3rd

Found it, nice cache, lovely area. Dropped off the Blotts travel bug. It is on a journey around the world, started in the UK, got to the USA, and now is in Australia. If you find this bug, help it on its way.

 

31st

Found it in 5 mins. Very surprised as I hadn't had much luck with other caches today. Took - Fan. Left - Nasturtium seeds and 50cents.

 

24th

I FOUND IT, I FOUND IT. Very excited about finding this one as I have tried a few times. It helped that it was exposed . Hid it a bit better. Hopefully!!! Found at 0647am my 1st of 9 for the day. Swapped a candle for a small toy.
Many thanks Maccamob.

 

18th

Our second maccamob cache for the day and found relatively quickly as it was slightly exposed (covered up well before we left! ). Found at 1125. Took Boomerang keyring and left superman figurine.
Thanks maccamob, once again.

 

15th

Found without too much trouble, on the way to Jazz at the Zoo - only a few people wandering past. Collected the Inhalator Travel Bug, and plan to drop him off in Thailand in a week or so. Forgot swaps, but will put something in when I can get to the cache next week.

 

14th

Found after a few goes at this one.

Left Dutch T.B.(Dist to go ~= 16500km on initial bearing 311 degrees)
Took fireworks

 

22nd

Found on lunch break, with work colleagues Cain and Rebecca. We caught the Christmas Tram around and were accosted by several versions of Santa Claus. Searched for about 10 minutes. I was sure where it was going to be only it wasn't there...Took nothing and left a work souvenir: "Western Australia at a glance" statistical portrait.

This is my 200th cache! 2 and a half years down the track I've found 200 of these things! Hard to believe.

 

22nd

BeccaJ's first cache. Found this with Quasar and another work colleague after meeting some overly friendly Santa Clauses.

 

5th

First located general area of the cache on the 2nd of December but did not retrieve it due to the work bieng carried out on a near by tree. Today I had to wait a while to grab the cache as there were always people walking by, then found a nice spot in the gardens to open it up. Exchanged the water pistol I got from "From Here to Eternity" for the toy frog. Once again this was a great location for a cache, I love exploring!

 

2nd

Finally found a cache in Melbourne after 3 unsuccessful searches for caches in the city. Took a while to find as had to contend with the rain and gardeners close by.
Cache and contents in good condition.
Took - compass set
Left - stubby holder.
Thanks for the hunt.

9th

[D:] Found at 11:00am
Out walking through the city to while away the time this morning. This cache seemed too inviting. Got an extra bonus when I snagged Louie the Fly ... will see that he gets to see a little more of the world than Australia.

Thanks for the hunt.

7th

Dropped Travel bug on another trip from West. It has been bothered me all the way to Vic. and glad to get rid of it.
 

17th

Found on a drizzly day by team crackers. The members of todays team were Rose, Shorty, Joe, John and Lesley. It didn't take long to find. The greatest difficulty was not being seen by the geomuggles even on a wet and windy day. Took playing cards left pulling crackers. Thanks for the cache.

 

30th

30-viii-2003 0015 Hours (#31)
A sucessful find after giving up on 'Harry' (Note to self, do not hunt for Microcaches at 11pm on a Friday in areas with Night clubs!) Had fun on this one, was suprised to see it back online after we returned from the Museum last weekend.

Thanks Maccamob

26th

Found easily enough.
Thanks Varuna for resurrecting this lost cache from the dead!
Took notepad, left mini playing cards and tiny unicorn eraser.

 

24th

Checked out the Exhibitionist today to see how it was performing. Looks like our friendly neighbourhood gardener put it back in a different place. It's now at least 10m from its original spot. Coordinates have been adjusted accordingly.

 

19th

The Exhibitionist is apparently alive and well. Many thanks to Varuna for taking time out during another visit from the West to pinpoint its present location.

 

5th

Now we know why we couldn't find it.
Spent 30mins looking for this one.
We had memories of the cache Wireless
We must have pulled up 10m of shrubberies in our effort to locate the cache.

Tried again to find this after Muzza cache this morning at about 0730. I have noticed it has been archived. Oh well. That leaves me to try and find Figure Head again.

Thanks for checking this one out Maccamob I thought I was going through a useless stage.

We were passing by on our way home tonight so had a good look round. Sorry to say that there was no sign of the cache or its resident TB.
 

1st

Spent about 30 minutes trying to find this one, which seemed like it should have been easy--had quite a good fix with the GPS. There were piles of recently-trimmed vegetation lying around to be taken away as rubbish, so I wondered if the cache might have gone astray recently.
 

20th

8.45am after arrived from WA, found it quite good. Luckily, Michael the gardener found it and put it back when he was gardening and pruning. He entered into a log and wrote..Tuesday 10/6/03 15.15hrs I was doing some gardening when I found your stash. It's a good thing I'm curious or it might have been tash. Great idea I just need a GPS. Micheal, Royal Exhibition Building.
Lots of students nearby perched on the retaining walls, waiting for Exhibition building to be opened for their sitting examination. I had to wait until they went in. Took Bronze house and left TB the keeper of the keys from WA. Thanks, maccamob.

Here is a copy of the lovely note left by Michael the gardener - we're glad he is curious (and a bit of a poet too)!  

9th

I introduced my girlfriend to the world of geocaching with this one, we found it in around 5 minutes of arriving, We swapped the key ring for some hair clips.
Spent the rest of the day at a near by attraction, which now has free entry to students, children, and concession card holders.
 

4th

Anyone who has seen our photos would know we would have to do this one.
 

30th

Another spot I haven't visited for years since moving to Adelaide - there's so much building going on in town now! Found very quickly - must have fluked the position to start the search, as it appeared in front of me straight away. Saves me ratting around for half an hour looking conspicuous, anyway! Swapped a christmas figure for a squeeze clamp - thanks Maccamob!

 

29th

Not even help from the Muzza help line could help me with this one aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! Maybe next time. Spent 90 mins here.

 

18th

Found 10:30, after another brief search. Took Sewing kit and left Crystal key tag with 3D kangaroo. Thanks Maccamob.

 

17th

As luck would have it, there were very few people around as I approached the cache area. A stretched limo and its wedding party were just moving on so, apart from the occasional passerby, finding, retrieving and replacing the cache was easy.

I took some stickers from the cache and replaced them with the Santa Claus ornament from 'From Here To Eternity'.

Thanks for the cache, Maccamob. Having conquered the Werribee River, it looks as though they are now becoming the King and Queen of Melbourne and inner city caches.

16th

Found at 3.00PM The nearby workers in the carpark proved to be a problem initially, but eventually they kindly packed up and left making the search much easier. It still took a bit of finding - it is very well concealed. We will give Professor Froggums a ride north (a long way north! We hope he doesn't get airsick) Greg and Bev

...and another Victorian VB for the Prof!
