This cache has been replaced in another part of the park. Please archive.

I will replace this cache in the next few weeks.

I wasn't able to find it either so I will replace it soon.

4th and last cache in a string of DNF's this afternoon. I gave up after this one - threw a tanty, bought a chocolate and went home!

I'll try it again another day.

Looked for this one, with three sets of eyes, for about 20 min, and we were unable to locate.

Many muggles camped around the trees in this area of the park, we were not able to get near the cache,
will have to try again if we get back to Darwin.

Little brown sugar ants making a home inside. Some muggles, but the midges and mossies were worse. Had to scribble a quick note then bug out before they completely drained me.

My first attempt and first find! Lost my cherry today...

Found it after 4 tries! With leaves everywhere it was probably luck.

When I go geocaching I take my hiking stick with me, good job I had it as I wouldn't have put my hand in there.

Another cache where I had to return due to muggles. Fortunately, the coast was clear when I came back this way.
A great park, but they have emptied all the ponds for some reason.
Thanks, Robmc.

Very big party here today but we were able to sneak in and retrieve the cache. SL TFTC

Found @ 1700 with 3 yo daughter who loved the playground that was close by. Had to wait for 2 lovebird muggles to finish their picnic before cache could be retrieved. Waypoint was spot on at GZ.

Took a chance that there were no muggies around during big family day at JWG - very quiet where hidden.

Found during very large family day at JWGs. No muggies around.

Bit of poking around but found it in the end!

My only miss for today and also the last cache I tried.
Don't you hate that!!!!

Went to new co-ords but GPS continually had me over a large fence and after multiple attacks from multiple angles decided against climbing over it.

Bummer.

Handy hint: don't go at dusk, or risk sandflies, mozzies and green ants galore. Tricky sat fix under the trees - I I got the right place, but I was getting too bitten Third time lucky, maybe

Cache moved a small distance and ready to go.

2nd time this cache has gone missing. I'll replace it soon somewhere else within the park.

Will need another set of eyes for this one. Heat of the day and a few junior muggles prevented a red hot pry. So damn frustrating - I got to within a metre (or so the GPS says) Either that, or it was a very well planned April Fools Day joke

What an absolutely wonderful location! It’s a pity I left my camera in the car. Those waterlilies were marvellous! Once at GZ, I found the cache fairly quickly – now, I haven’t seen a cache container like that in a long long time! Thanks for bringing me to this lovely location Groboz!

What a lovely place. The water lillies were one of Butterfly's favourite colour today. Cache took a few minutes to find as the waypoint at first wanted us on the wrong side of the fence. But logic prevailed, GPSr settled down, and then it was obvious where it would be.
Uplifted the Gerbera mini geocoin for further adventures.
Thanks for showing us this special place.

Dropped off a micro geocoin.

Once the old 45 made up its mind it took me right to it.

We also found this one while attending the Territory's 2nd event, after all we couldn't come within a hundred meters and not have a quick look. Found it after a short search, not a muggle in sight (must have been that lovely Territory weather).
Thanks!

Found while attending the Territory's second event cache in the same gardens. A great day out and good to see so many more local caches

Went back with a bit more time on our hands and not a muggle in site. Took us a while to find - would have looked straight past it on the previous visit!! TFTC

Back for another go, was good fun looking for this one. Thanks for fixing this one up again; I love any excuse to visit this place.

Had a quick look while waiting for fish and chips, but no find and lots of muggles. Will have to come back when we have more time and less muggles .

i was going to wait until the event to find this one, but it was the closest cache to work so I had to do it. This one makes six days in a row with a find. Thanks for the cache.

Yes, the cache had been muggled. Lucky I had a replacement on me and the cache has now been resurrected with a new log book and pencil. Please be aware of muggles when doing this cache, especially the ones under 5 feet tall....they're sneaky!

Seek but no find. Had a real good look with an army of four but no find. Perhaps we were looking in the wrong spot (not that that has ever happened before) or perhaps it has been muggled. May be worth a check up. Cheers.

Our first DNF. Went in the company of one-whom-had-found-before, so we suspect it may have been muggled.

I found this one after delving in to the pig hunters paradise. I’ll say no more. What are those big hoof prints on the opposite side to the gardens of Babylon??? No bores seen but sure, what makes those holes???

Nice hide down at a nice location.

After a very late afternoon foray in fading light yesterday, returned today and found it. No way would I have found it in the dark yesterday and I suspect it may prove difficult for people in daylight.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Great walk in the park. Nice hide TNLN SL Thanks for the outing.
