Logs
This one has been disabled since June and the owners have not logged on since then so I am requesting it be archived.
Two not founds, so went to look ourselves. Nope, nothing there. Even the rock was back over the hole, so not sure what's happened.
OK, did all the hoops but no joy. I called dodos.cant.fly and confirmed with him where the cache was supposed to be. It isn't... Guess it's been eaten by a muggle with a pen fetish. Either way, this cache needs to be archived until a new location can be found for it.
After visiting the initial waypoints, I headed to my calculated GZ. After searching for a little while, I decryted the clue, but it didn't help except to confirm I was probably looking in the right spot. More searching in vain, until I decided to give up.
I noticed that there have been no logs for a month. Has nobody looked or did they not succeed. Recent rains have deposited some flotsam and jetsam, but I don't think that caused my failure. Thanks for bringing me here. I'll confirm my co-ordinates with the owner, and keep my eye on future logs.

2nd find of the day with LiverpoolRed.
Interesting theme, everyone needs pens, especially in this game.
Left Metalwork pen, took ASIO pen, also left TB Moin Moin.
SL @ 1145 hrs. TFTC
PS No sign of the other TB either, and from reading the logs it has been missing for a about month. Hope Moin Moin does not go the same way.

We were afraid the lady standing outside the hall was going to drag us in there to do some kind of rock and roll dance class but we bolted before she could catch us.
Took a men's health pen for the reluctant spouse,
left an ASIO pen for future spies.
Thanks, dodos.cant.fly

I was a bit unsure as to whether 'Hall' should actually be included in the name. It should and I got it wrong but no drama. I got a part of wp2 wrong too but soon fixed it. Gz was easy to get to and once there the cache was an easy find, despite nearby blackberries which got me! It was not on a hot day and in fact it was still drizzling but hey, it keeps the muggles away [^]. thaks dods.cant.fly for an entertaining cache.
Nice hide in a very attractive park. Left a pen and took the Diabetetes TB. No sign of the other travel bug that is shown in this cache however. Thanks dodos.cant.fly.
Found by Mary & David at 1445. Enjoyed the walking tour. Every school in the area must have been having swimming lessons as we saw dozens of busses coming and going. No problems with the questions, but we were delayed quite a while at GZ. A muggle tradesman had driven in from Springvale road across the grass, parked right there, and was doing his exercises! At least he wasn't chroming. An easy find once he finished and left by the same route. Where are the rangers when you need them? Took Focus pen, left Best Western pen. Also dropped off "Gunnaur, India" Unite for Diabetes Travel Bug. Our thanks to dodos.cant.fly.
A new winner for the "cache closest to my house" award
Nice park, have walked through here many times.
I think the terrain may be a bit overrated.. it's not bad really.
TFTC. TNLN.

G'day Dodos.Cant.Fly,
We found your cache at 4:00pm as the first of six on our "Six of the Best Sunday Saunter". After a Sunday lunchtime picnic not too far away, we headed over and completed this multi. A nice and easy stroll to start the afternoon. Thanks for our 1st Dodos.Cant.Fly cache. Took the Spinner TB. Did not see the other one.
Regards,
D,H,H & A B-A

17:35 When Squire found your cache this evening he had to try out each pen to prove which ones worked and which did not - hence his entry in the log. Squire also highly rated the playground south of the Aquatic center (at the attached coordinates) - just his size. Thanks dodos cant fly a nice park and cache. In: TB Spinner and AEU Pen Out: Midi Pen (we didn't see the TB "Great Oz TB Race: Rich" reported to be in the cache)
Found @ 7:35pm On a hot night decided to do this cache after dinner as it is close to home. A another park I didn't know was there. Had to wait for a muggle to go, may have been a fellow cacher as cache contained a TB not listed as being in the cache at the time of logging.
Took: TB - Chilly the Polar Bear
Left: TB - The Great OZ TB Race (Rich)

Seventeenth of 22 finds with acts2youthgroup on our usual Wednesday assault. It was a hot day: >35° C! We found a teenage moron chroming near this cache. (Chroming is the inhalation of solvent-based products to induce a psychoactive effect. [:(!] This fool was using spray paint as an inhalant.) He was apparently zonked out of his mind, and started to hang around us. I pulled out my mobile phone to call home, and he apparently thought I was calling the cops, because he bolted! I almost felt sorry for the poor idiot! I found the cache at 1655. I made no exchange. Thanks to dodos.cant.fly for the cache. Cheers, dak.
Found @ 16:20 There were 2 muggles hanging around the park sniffing paint and drinking OJ [xx(] while I was trying to find GZ. This was an easy find once I got the values right.

Found at 6.35pm GAFF1. What a coincidence - today was a hot day as well! P-pprass used to go swimming here during the hot summer school holidays many years ago. Brings back a lot of memories. Thanks dodos.cant.fly, swapped pens and left China coin.
Added a comment in the log that should avoid any ambiguity with the first clue.
Found 16:55, with the assistance of clockwise, as our reading, comprehension and search skills let us down badly on this cache [B)] we had previously passed within less than one meter of GZ [xx(] and not recognized it for what it was.
TNLN, thanks to dodos.cant.fly for the cache and clockwise for the much needed assistance and pleasant chat

Found today after bumping into the famous Biggle Bears!
Was a particularly easy find for me, even though the bb's were having some problems - I was just grateful that I didn't make a complete fool out of myself
The first directions could have been a bit better though - I think they need to be changed just a little bit in order to make them less ambiguous.
My wedding photo's were taken in this park (see attached), so this place brought back some great memories! Thanks mate!

I got a surprise when I checked for new caches last night and saw this one - only 4k from home and right on my way to work . I knew the park, having passed throught the nearby intersection hundreds (maybe thousands) of times over the last 20 years - but, if it weren't for geocaching, I might never have stopped to check it out. It's a better than average example of the (generally very attractive) little parks in the area, and I was quite surprised at the volume of water in the creek - too much to cross at just any old point! The clues were good (although I considered 2 possibilities for the 1st one) and so were the coordinates. The cache was well concealed in a spot which I don't usually associate with cache hides, although I located it easily enough after checking the clue.
I didn't have any pens, so TNLN
Many thanks dodos.cant.fly - a great 1st cache
