Archiving before GC dot com hit us with a health score violation just because it has 2 DNF's. more to follow, they obviously don't like CO's, oh but without us they don't have a game.
Searched the suspected item thoroughly but found no sign of the cache. Nice park though.
we went and checked this due to the 2 DNF's, it was definitely missing, getting home to log this Owner maintenance and notice that 2 teams found it about 5 minutes after we replaced it. Just missed you by that much
Tried searching for this for about 10-15 minutes but no luck. Even started digging just in case.
Was hoping to make this a quick last find after a successful morning. Not to be. Got down low and looked all over and under the structure in question, to no avail.
Found as Nicnax with PapaGrouch after attending the nearby event. Was a bit worried that there were some kids at the playground but PapaGrouch recognised some fellow cachers. Quick find and sign. TFTC
Having a bit of time to spare this morning allowed for a couple of quick finds. Finally we visit here on a morning it was not raining and totally muggle free making for a nice easy find in the first place I looked. TNLNSL. TFTC. KKams
MontsII and myself headed here today after dinner. It was dark. We could not see how insignificant the park was. I apologise. If you like, we will drive by during the day some time to take a look. TFTC Pinkpiggy7

Out and about in the area with tim_amy picking up some local caches. A rather extensive search failed to turn this one up. Confirmation of what we should have been looking for was enough to indicate that this one had probably fallen into the wrong hands possibly muggles. A quick drive to the CO's house who had a replacement cache on hand and we were back in business. Before putting the cache back in position we had wait for what seemed like ages for a father and his two children to leave the playground. After signing a fresh new log we were on way in search of more smileys and further adventures.
**Thanks to Pinkpiggy7 for placing this cache.**

Received a PAF from tim_Amy and jascat . Appeared this was missing so they made a quick visit to our place I handed them a new container and they replaced it. Thanks for your help
This find was rather difficult to retrieve and took some searching. But we were eventually able to have the cache in hand and log signed before returning it to its home. Nice little park and another one of pinkpiggy cache down. Tftc
We found your treasure, great hiding spot!
You have inspired us to hide our own!

I hate finding Geocaches in children’s playgrounds, but this afternoon there were no children or adults due to it being a wet, cold afternoon, so the coast was clear to search here today. Even as a child I hated wizzy dizzies but slides, see saws and swings were ok. It took me a while to find the cache and wet decomposing wood chips clung to the knees of my jeans when I got back to the car.
Quickly found as a muggle and her dog approached. Seemed that the logical place was right in front of me so felt around and sure enough he cache was in hand a log signed. All replaced as found tftc PinkPiggy7
Geoboy was pretty happy to stop here, so we let him have his fun while we searched and conquered. We really liked the simplicity of this cache, thank you!
Found cache after going around the park a few times. Thanks pinkpiggy for a great hiding spot.
Patience AND a 14yo step kid help in doing caches like this a LOT. We waited out the song seeking teens then the little tigers with their dad, laid down and rotated the hide but found nada. Reckon it’s MIA. oh well!
I was instructed to find a cache in a kid park by supergirl so this was it. She had a blast while I waited for the trio of teen-girls to exit GZ, and then the dudes to stop playing basketball. It's amazing how teens don't hang about long when kids and parents show up.
Today was a somewhat larger day of caching, larger than most of the days I had been having so far. With the plans being to clear out some nearby caches and slowly make my way up towards Pinkpiggy7's event being held tonight. A rather successful day with no DNF's at all. Spent some time caching around Cranbourne then just ended up caching just north of the event until it actually start, either way thanks for the cache and the little adventure.

Went for a walk and kids wanted a play on the playground so I checked the cache... all good
Eventually found it. It wasn't feeling very magnetic today, but still hidden. Thanks.
Talk about making a stealthy recovery, luckily l was happy to play along while omegaman1971 made the find. Thanks Pinkpiggy7 for the hide.

Back in the area with Happy pants and Jentrek1 for some Sunday caching therapy.
Small but what a busy park.
Cheers for the cache.

#350! Got a bit of du shine on an otherwise rainy morning. Thanks for bringing us to the park. We thoroughly enjoyed the merry go round.
Nice quick find in the headlights of the geobeastie whilst out tonight with OHC. Thanks for the cache and showing us yet another playground/park that we had no idea existed.

A day out of the house, caching with jimbo_80 and Mark&Kelly.
As we arrived here, noticing a young family enjoying the park, we all skipped over to the play equipment, and as big kids do, we see-sawed, swung, and spun until a stealthy Kell retrieved, signed and replaced the nicely hidden cache.
Nothing to see here! Move along!

I'm in my thirties and too old for playgrounds, but I secretly love the structures that this one's hidden in. Who cares, sometimes it's good to indulge your inner child : )
Cache was quickly found and signed, thank you

Found! 10Dec16 @ 6.55pm; Find #103
The find for this cache could not have been any more perfect.
Upon my approach, I realised that there were two young girls on bikes, with at least one mother in attendance. I parked on the side of the road and got my GPS out to see what other caches were local, as I honestly didn't know how long the family was going to be there for. After settling on my next cache find, I looked up to realise that the family was walking away from the park. Success! I might actually be able to get this one after all!
I waited until the entire family was out of sight, and I had my hand on the door ready to open it when I heard voices from the other side of the car. It seemed like a household had decided to make a mad dash to get dinner and was heading for their own car. Hmph. I needed a few more minutes then.
Thankfully this family seemed to be in a bit of a hurry to get their food, so as soon as they were out of sight, I made a mad dash of my own to GZ. Knowing that time was of the essence (and that I had no kids to use as cover), I quickly checked the hint and soon had the cache in hand. I moved to the slide where I logged my visit (it had been so long since I had sat on a slide! I couldn't resist!) and made my own notes. A mad dash back to GZ to rehide the cache, before retreating to my car.
And wouldn't you know it? Just as my door shut, another local walks around the corner and past the playground, and as soon as he's out of sight, the hungry neighbours returned. I decided to make a break for it before anyone started asking questions.
Timing is truly everything in this game. Thank goodness it was working well for me for this find!

Out on Cup Day to find some caches with stinky tom and stinky bob. The Stinky Gang had already found this one so they watched as I made a quick find.
Had a little play while we were here and then off we go.
Found in good condition.
Thanks Pinkpiggy7

Since moving from New Zealand I have been enjoying the area, exploring and finding caches. I have got a nice streak going and hoping to let it run for as long as possible. This may or may not become easier now that I have found a job but I’m still currently staying with my brother (stinky tom) and his family which includes my nephew (stinky bob).

Had to wait for a nearby muggle family. Found in the company of quiet1_au and GJMMelb, TFTC
Found with Lochb and Quiet1_au. It had been a long day for us. We set out to find the puzzles nearby and as many other caches as possible. Now we just needed a few more to set a record for each of us for finds in a day. This area had a number of caches. I found this quickly. Thanks pinkpiggy7

I'd worked on the P.I.G. puzzles a while ago and recently discovered the Pretzel/Project Pretzel series so spent some time (when I should really have been studying...) cracking these too. I challenged myself to solve them all myself which I did except for one which G' of GJMMelb gave me the solution for (he solved many of them independently) as time was short. Combining these puzzles with a few others in the area and The Slog series a grand plan for a Big Day Out of caching was hatched with a core list of 133 caches to find! Our merry band of cachers - lochb who did the driving and G' of GJMMelb and myself who did the bulk of the brain and legwork - set out early for a full day of mostly drive-by caching. We succeeded in getting 134 finds before light stopped play! This was despite some setbacks: a handful of DNFs (luckily we found other caches to substitute for those we couldn't find), a couple of errors in solutions that we luckily sorted out and still managed finds, an unwelcome flat read tyre and even a couple of "close encounters" with a helicopter - we weren't sure if they were checking us out or not though. A great day of caching that saw all three of us beat our personal best finds in a day

Cache is happily in place. Please don't log a needs maintenance just because you cant find a cache after just 2 finds.
Found tonight on an adventure with grumpygramps1. Still working towards 1000 cache for 2015. TFTC
Here for the Mega and out caching with Lgoody & roostaman.
So much variety in the caches and in the weather!
Very happy that we did not experience any rain to speak of.
Great to cache in a new environment.
