Sadly this cache, just like my EPL teams chances of winning this year, has gone. As I no longer live nearby it's time to archive it. Thanks to everyone who found it.

We found the spot we believe it was in, added with a prev log which confirmed location. Must have been muggled, no container anywhere Sad

A forced break from early voting meant I could participate in a CITO nearby, so I took the opportunity for a walk afterwards.

Another cheeky hide.

The nearby seat was a perfect place to sign the log before putting the cache back and completing my walking loop.

Thanks, Lost_and_found_79.

Tried looking for this a few years ago and only just found it today. Great hiding spot.
 
13-Nov-22
Today we concentrated on the Local Government Areas of Monash and Whitehorse as w worked towards two challenges. It was a warm day, overcast and quite humid. We found 24 caches and were really pleased with the overall quality of the caches and the hides. It was a good days caching.

Accurate coordinates and the hint led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks Lost_and_found_79 for the cache.

The notepad was quite water damaged and probably needs replacing but otherwise a quite nice spot. TFTC Smile

I had to head to uni to meet our eldest who has been participating in a model UN conference this weekend, but had time to stop off for a cache or two on the way.
A reasonably quick find of this nicely tucked away container, although the busy playground nearby meant a lot of trying not to look suspicious.
The log was soggy and unsignable, so I managed to squeeze a signed replacement waterproof log and new Ziploc bag in despite the limited space.

3rd of 3 finds for the day out riding with the geokids. My son found this one and bravely shoved his had in the dark hole to retrieve the contents! The bag was no longer in the container, so we put it back in. The original log is wet and mouldy, but some nice geocacher has replaced it with a new one. TNLNSL, TFTC Lost_and_found_79.

Pleasant walk around this nice park on a sunny winter’s afternoon. Thanks for bringing us here. Despite heavy rain these last few days, cache is dry and we appreciated the fresh log. TFTC
 
07-Jun-21
Quick, easy find.
Love the reference to Highbury being the old ground of the Arsenal football club. I am a Gooner through and through having lived in Finsbury Park before I came to Australia. I used to go to Highbury first with my dad who was a crazy Arsenal fan and later with friends.
We didn't do to well this season but I live in hope for next year. COYG!!!!!!
The log is soaking wet so have put a new one in.

Day1976 needed to do some xmas shopping, and I tagged along, we figured we would get some caches around the place. Well, this didnt work very well for us, as it was stinking hot. This was one of the few caches we ended up finding, it was much nicer walking around the airconditioned shops.
 
14-Dec-20
Ilukaperi and I were trying to mix geocaching with christmas shopping. But it wasn';t working too well. It was about 38 degrees in the shade, and although this cache was found in the shade, it was still 21 degrees in the airconditioned shops. So, we ended up doing more shopping than caching, but this was one of the caches we found.

TFTC.

nice spot! the log was wet though. TFTC!
 
28-Nov-20
Out for a walk and to fill in another day on the caching calendar. After finding a nearby cache we stopped here on the way home, to unearth this cache which we did. Once in the vicinity of GZ it was again Mr Pooky who made the relatively quick find. While the log and the zip lock bag were very very wet the log was still signable. TFTC and bringing us back to our old stomping ground.
 
17-Nov-20
Just a wee evening cache work to discover more of the area I have recently moved to (in the broad sense).

This was my starting (and finishing point) and a nice quick and easy find to get things going. TFTC Smile
 
17-Nov-20
Definitely the most creative cache I’ve found so far. Once I came across the hiding spot it felt that it was certainty to be found there although I didn’t actually find it and was looking much too hard, completely overlooking the creative hide

I had to come back and I inadvertently revealed it and it blew my mind when I realised how it was hidden

Thank you for the hint and cache - one of my favourites for sure and would recommend using a stick and bringing hand sanitiser; watch out for insects and creepy crawlies!
