Now I am logging the DNF I notice the reviewer has temporarily disabled the cache. I too was suckered in to trying to get this cache. So obviously gone.
Avast there! I walked the plank, I circumnavigated the galleon, I visited Davy Jones Locker, but I was drowning in sorrow as no treasure could be found, although I think I spied an empty treasure chest? Need a lifebouy Wonderful place I enjoyed my visit but would be better if the cache could be found.
So sorry to add another DNF The Britto's. But we searched and searched hoping that previous DNFers had some cache blindness. But the cache eluded us too. This is such a great park and such a well bit ship for play that it deserves a cache. We hope you can replace it. Thanks for showing it to us though. We had a bit of a play, lol. [^][^]
Stopped off for a hopeful search. Alas, the treasure eluded us as well. Great park though.
Went looking for this one that we had found previously to show a friend but it appears to be gone. There are a couple of DNFs so it may have been muggled.
Avast Ye scurvy dogs !! [:o]
I searched and searched yon Pirate galleon wi' nary a sighting of a cache
Even the clues in the treasure map did not 'elp me here [:o]
My search went to Davy Jone's Locker, and left me in its wake !!

TFTC and thank you for the great location. Caches like this make it a worthwhile activity.
Nice to have an easy one after two DNFs. TFTC. Angus the great Geo Westie assisted by grey nomad Carer Lis Brown en route from Bundaberg Qld to Perth WA via Tasmania.
Only a few minutes walk from my house! Took a while, wasn't looking right! Finally found it but forgot to bring a pen to log my find! Tftc
So odd to see an ocean going craft in an inland town, I suppose that makes it a talking point. Initially very worried that this would be impossible to find discreetly, but thankfully it revealed itself very quickly. Tftc
Out on a road trip with some mates. So stopping in here was a great idea. Stretch the legs before heading further into the hills. We followed the description to find t he cache. Though it looked like it had fallen down. So we replaced it where it should have been.
Cheers for a fun find.

Couldn't find it this time, but I live here and have never noticed one here before.. Probably been moved as I followed the description and found where it should have been.. I'll be back to look again
Found with PapaGrouch, have had a little bit of a look for this a couple of times, but it's not always easy to find a time when no-ones about. TFTC
TFTC as we walked up to GZ cache was laying on the ground so signed log and put back were gps took us to.
Great cache. Found on the way from Mount Kosciuszko to Wodonga to play a netball tournament. TFTC
Not sure why there were DNF's as it was easy to find with accurate co-ords. TNLN, THanks
Found while in town for the festivities. Searched for this one last year and no luck but an easy find this time,it was out on the ground. Placed back in obvious spot close to GZ Hope thats OK SK TFTH TNLN. Cheers 4 now.
A family of muggles arrived here at the same time as us. Fortunately we had our lunch with us giving time to wait for them to leave. While eating i was eyeing off the area around G.Z. and had a fair idea were the container would be hidden, i was right and had the cache in hand within seconds of the muggles leaving.

After the cache in town by the same cacher having multiple DNF's we nearly didn't attempt this one, but are glad we did. The work on the object seams to be complete and whilst there are some signs of "do not cross" tape still around we made a quick find. TFTC
The pirate ship is all roped off and under construction. Don't think it's there anymore
Lots of work going on - looks like a full revovation is going on. Only a quick try to find as area is taped off at present. May pay to check it is still there.
On our trip from Merimbula to Melb.
Thanks for the cache, but not able to locate due to works.

After listening to Mr Frog (aka Mr Pessimistic) saying that it would be impossible in the dark, I took the torch and left him to follow. Within 30 seconds he says, "I found It!!"

Thought I wouldn't be able to get this one as there were a few young muggles in attendance despite the lousy weather. After a quick trip into town the coast was clear so raced it in. This landmark has been here for a long time. I remember it from trips years back.
Thanks again Britto's
Thanks again Britto's
Something out of a movie set? Nice quick find. Decided to come back and complete this loop after catching up with family. Mum and kids playing near by. Found with troobloo. SL TNLN T4TC
On first sight I immediately thought of Sea World on the goldy. Odd to see in a rural area at the base of the highlands. Coruze and I took the opportunity to get a pic for a challenge as well, 2 for 1.
Thanks for bringing us here, interesting sight.

#2651 Other times we've been here the playground was either occupied or we didn't have time to stop - today GZ was vacant and we had the greater portion of the day still ahead of us. It didn't take Dad to locate the well hidden cache whilst the GeoPrincess had some fun on the POI. Thanks to The Britto's for the cache.
Third time lucky for me first time it was missing, the second there was a RBT set up out the front of the park and I'm sure the police wouldn't have thought well of me sneaking about a playground, by this time it was dark and deserted, and the find was made quickly. TFTC!
Nearly gave up on this one as a little girl was playing with her bike nearby and we had a lot of miles to travel, but having a feel around gave us the cache. Thanks The Britto's for the cache.
Found with Wackydo whilst enjoying a week in the Bright area after the Oz Mega event. On our way home to the Blue Mountains along the Alpine Way. Thankfully a quick find. TFTC The Britto's
micheena - first for the day. Had this area on the list to do on return trip away for Easter, but due to weather report, took a safer route home. Dared hubby to pose for a Titanic photo, but the muggles put him off.
Another quick drive by on our way to Jindabyne. Cool little park. nice hide TFTC
Lovely day, this Good Friday, for a picnic in the park on our way to Jindabyne for the Easter break. Checked out the ship and played around it like kids. Nice little hide. Took nothing, left a small pencil eraser.
Found when stopped at the playground for lunch. Ship and other equipment still tapped off. Used to stop here to let the kiddo have a climb around some years ago on trip to the mountains and beyond. TFTC
Well, Shiver Me Timbers, me hearties. Davy Jones wisna goin t get this treasure.

Didn't think we woudl be able to get to this one with all baricades blocking off the playground. A bit of search where I would have placed the cache and wamo, there it was. Stopped for some fuel and ice cream and we were back on the road.
The cycling duo from Jindabyne were unsuccesful in finding this ye 'ol blighter, after plundering past these seas many times. Seems the orange restrictive flagging is currently up on ye port side. Onwards to greener pastures up on the Geehi.
The park was clear, but no matter how much I looked, I couldn't find it. I hope its still there. Thanks for showing me this ship anyway.
1477 Found by baby&Mrs gopher at 1250 on our Queen's Birthday weekend jaunt.Last in Corryong before lunch.An easy find and enjoyable stop over.After being cold since early this morning it has started to warm,now 6 degrees in the sun.SL visited CacheMover coin Tnx The Britto's
Lovely day for a drive to Corryong with The GirlFriend (Now known as ShizzWinkles)

Great day, Great times, Great caching fun. We found 20 caches today. TFTH P.S. Loved the ship
Found this while returning from a very quick (over night) trip to Jindabyne for work. I was driving one of two NSW vehicles that we had swapped over with a couple of our vehicles as part of the testing stage of our new vehicle development program. I had forgotten to send a postcard from Jindabyne and so stopped in Corryong to do that. We on our way out of town when I noticed that the vehicle I was driving wouldn’t idle, and as dropping oil pressure. Swung into this park to check under the hood, and noticed there was a cache only a few metres away! Cool. We decided to hunt for the cache while we let the vehicle cool down and the oil settle. This was the other drivers 2d attempt to find a cache so I gave him the GPS and hunted around myself. I found the cache while he was still reading the description so left it for him to find. Wasn’t long before we had the log book signed and we were checking the vehicle over to figure out if it would make it back to Melbourne. Thankfully it did. The cache is in good condition. Thanks for the cache the Britto’s.
Spent ages here checking out every part of the boat. Luckily my son had fun playing here, so the time spent was not a problem. Went back for one last look before giving up and found it. Cant believe that I didnt find it earlier! TFTC
Our first find of the day while staying at the Clack Clack Caravan Park. On a previous visit, the place was full of muggles, but this time they arrived just as we had replaced the container. TNLN Thanks The Britto's!
Found the cache today at 7.00am with beanie After spending the
night in Corryong, located the cache on the boat this morning.
Thought it might had been hard to find on this big boat but was an easy find.
Signed the log Thanks The Britto's for the cache.

Returning to our caravan after watching The Man from Snowy River street parade, we stopped off to find this cache. Took us a while but we found it.
Thank you, The Britto's, for the series of caches around this great town. We are really enjoying going around them while we prepare for the wonderful Man From Snowy River Bush Festival. Plus, of course, all the history and folklore you are bringing to cachers attention. Good on yah! Found this one at 11.05 am (after coffee). Straightforward. TNLNSL
Great feature for any town and lucky to have one.
we had the location to ourselves we took a few minutes to work out which level the goods were hidden.
Took another happy snap here too.
Thanks to The Britto's for a well deserved location for a cache for cachers of all ages.

Argh, me hearties, I be a mite unsure why I be walkin' the plank, but as I floated in the briny deep, I cast my eyes upon the scurvy ship in search of salvation (or a cache). I went under, once, twice, three times, and thought all be lost. Wiv a mighty effort I swam for shore, and got me a useful object wot I thort might be useful. I then braved the rolling waves again, and this time the treasure be mine. Yo-ho-ho and a smiley face. Thanks, The Britto's.
Aha me hearty's, we be walkin' no plank today, but we be findin' the treasure at nine and a half bells. All's well!
Nice place. There were some mugglers around, asking what we are looking for.....
Greetings from Holland.

2nd find on the way home from camping at Geehi Flats with the twins (James and Jemma) and my 13yo girl Jacqueline. Passed the ship on the way to Geehi. Took a while to locate with the kids running around, but got it in the end. GPSr had me about 7m away, but the clues were great. TFTC.
A nice quick find, not sure if i was meant to be in this area of the ship, but ship we found it quick......LOL
Many Thanks to The Britto's for a nice hide.

How marvellous to have a couple of new caches in Corryong, to give us a fix while staying with parents over Christmas! I woke early and walked down here with the dog, failed to find it that time as dog is usually pretty impatient when it comes to searching for caches, then while down here later with mum and Mr Winglen we had another go. Beautifully hidden where I thought it would have to be, but I go did not far enough.
We used to bring our kids to this place so often when in Corryong. It is a great spot for imagining, and before they 'sanitised' it for safety we used to really walk the plank and jump off into the bark chips! It looks brighter now with a coat of paint. Thanks Brittos for a fun cache.

Whoop whoop! FTF!
Seen these late last week, but were down in Melbourne, we returned last night to find them still unlogged, so thought we would head up this way for a day trip in the hope for an FTF & weren't dissapointed.
GeoKid loved playing here! Lucky it started to rain or we'd still be there!
Thanks to The Brittos for a cache in a top spot!
