###**CACHE OWNER ACTION REQUIRED**###

----------

Even though the 'Needs Archive' log of Jun/20/2020 is not appropriate and 'wesfab' has been advised of the 'Needs Archive' Guidelines and protocols, for a D1.5 cache, it is obviously that some action by the CO is required in regard to this cache.

###**A recent Needs Maintenance log has not actually been placed on this cache. so I am placing one with this log.**###

On our way home from our annnual June weekend away with friends we turned off for this one. Amazed at ths area. We have driven past so many time but never ventured into this really lovel well appointed maintained area. Easy parking and nice little hide. Thanks for bringing us here.

On second attempt we found after short search. Had clearly walked passed it several times. Thanks

Heads in the clouds today, don’t know whether it’s because it’s the weekend, recent conversations playing back through my mind in a moment of reflection or because the sunshine is so inviting and I was distracted to see an eagle fly above, my favourite bird! Was running some errands nearby and saw that I hadn’t yet collected this cache. I nearly didn’t get out and look as I realised not only had I left my caching bag at home but also every pen, back up pen usual stashed in my car! Thankfully one of the kids school pencils was buried under the seat so I could search go with the intention of a find! Beautiful park, perfect warm autumn day. Thanks for the cache

This cache caused G of GJMMelb and I a little trouble - but it seems this is par for the course with this one!... We searched the logical places for some time but came up blank - and the DNFs were a concern. But futher checking of the previous logs lead us to expand our search area and I started looking nearby but still found nothing until G joined me and after more searching he spotted the cache in a spot I clearly missed/didn't check properly!... Glad to tick this one off - TFTC Smile
 
27-Jan-19
Found with Quiet1_au. We searched the closer obvious spots first and came up with nothing. We then expanded our search area and also started looking for other types of hides. Eventually I had almost exhausted the spots and there it was. Thanks rennige

Out and about on this awesome Australian day putting some smiles on my local map.
Had a little trouble at first but once I expanded my search the log was signed.
Cheers for the cache

Can’t find Cos others were around where I wanted to look
 
03-Jan-19
Spent long time here hoping for easy find with the kids - but no luck. Maybe clue needed or change level of difficulty
 
11-Dec-18
What a beautiful , well maintained park in the middle of a rather busy suburb . I liked the view out to the north west . The cache was a bit of a challenge to find , there are many possible locations but eventually got it . GPS was fairly accurate . I didn't have a pen so couldn't sign the log , as I wasn't expecting to be caching today. Thanks for the adventure.
 
24-Nov-18
We finally found it!! Thanks
 
03-Nov-18
Quick little find on our way home from golf. Lovely area. TFTC
 
25-Oct-18
After failing to find this one previously I decided we should start looking for it just before Trailstevo needed to be home. This way I thought he would try really hard and race around frantically looking for it. It worked! I heard a hear it is and strolled over leisurely to stamp the log. Smile TFTC
 
25-Oct-18
7th successful find for the night with Gunks. Went straight to it tonight after a bit of a failed search on a previous occasion. Was on a short timeframe tonight so glad we had luck on our side. TFTC

Tricky find. Coordinates a little off. Found with help of geodog who was sniffing around lol

Extended the search area a little after reading prior logs. Thanks for a sweet cache

Cheers for the effort, great place to hide.
 
05-Oct-18
Nice and easy great cache
 
03-Oct-18
Man there are so many great hidey holes here! I must have gone over them all at least 3 or 4 times before having a rethink. Tried something different and made the find, a little unexpectedly! TFTC!
 
02-Oct-18
That took longer than it should have. I end up looking up logs for some help and after thinking about what they are trying to say I found it pretty quickly
 
26-Sep-18
First official geocaching log book we have found. Thanks for the hide
 
20-Sep-18
Nice cache

A couple of caches after work to fill a grid.
Spent way too long on the wrong level.
Cheers rennige

This took us a lot longer in fading sunlight. A different level of thought required here Wink
 
28-Jul-18
This was a good one, took a while dispoint being right under our noses.
 
28-Jul-18
Me and a couple of mates wanted to get out but couldnt figure out what to do then i suggested some caches so off we went. TFTC
 
28-Jul-18
Love the hiding spot!!!!
 
22-Jul-18
Didn't find it after looking for a while
 
21-Jul-18
Another cache with the coords slightly off but a hunt in the likely spots will land you the cache in a short amount of time. tftc - took the trackable.
 
14-Jul-18
This was the first one of the day. I struggled for a while but then found it with the GPS saying 9m, for what it is worth.
 
14-Jul-18
Second time here! Nice little park
 
12-Jul-18
This cache was in my radar for awhile as it’s close to where I shop. Was at Officeworks today so thought I’d stop by. Found after about 10 minutes once I widened my search . TFTC
 
29-Jun-18
Hansel and Gretel rocks! Nice hide, thanks
 
16-Jun-18

Find number 6574 at 4:09:45 pm
Been working at the computer all day lookin out the window and finally decided I need to stretch my legs with a cache.
Still in place and good to go, found quickly enough, even with an iPhone and luckily there is a little bit of protection from prying eyes.
**Thanks for placing this cache rennige**

Found it while car getting new tyres fitted nearby on a cool autumn morning. It was about 6.5 metres away according to our gps. TFTC. time for a coffee now!
 
28-Apr-18
Tried and failed this morning... couldn't even find a "hand painted rock". Only excuse I have is that I was using my iPhone and I don't really trust its accuracy... yeah, I know "a poor workman blames their tools"! If I am ever back this way I will bring my GPS and see if I can do any better...
 
27-Apr-18
Lots of places to look, but eventually found it. Thanks for the cache.
 
26-Apr-18
The painted rocks are nothing to do with my cache, l am sure they were not there when l planted the cache.. will go and check them out today.
 
26-Apr-18
cache is there where its meant to be, son did find one hand painted rock near it, but has nothing to do with my cache...

The rock said to go to some website (written on rock) take a photo of the rock and rehide it... Its this a new game?

But my cache is there with a log and all....
 
25-Apr-18
TFTC!Took a while to find and as the others said the GPS is a little off. But we did find some pretty coloured rocks, but no log? Not sure if that is part of it, but great Cache none the less! Thanks guys!
 
11-Apr-18
Was out and about with muggle friend and all our kids. After a bit of a search muggle friend located the cache. There are a couple of painted rocks in a 8m versinity. I have it 4m out but that is fine by me. Thanks for the cache
 
11-Apr-18
Hard find. The cache was 8 meters from where the app said
Look for the painted rock
 
05-Apr-18
3TF. My GPS had me 8 metres away. Nice little spot for the kiddies. TFTC
 
30-Mar-18
Looked for a good hour, but we just couldn't seem to find it. I know that it's supposed to be easy though so maybe we will come back. Also, there were lots of people on the path and we didn't really want to look like a bunch of weirdos rummaging through a bush on the side of a park. xD maybe nextime
 
30-Mar-18
Took 2 days but we finally found this one...Tuc, Lazy Lizard, and WDDC great park
 
25-Mar-18
After a dismal attempt at a FTF a few days ago, I received a email from the CO telling me a little more detail of the hide and today I returned and tried from a different approach and was quickly rewarded with a easy find. Now why couldn't of I done that last time, never mind it was a great park to come back and visit again. Thanks rennige for the hide, sorry about the late log but I seemed to forgotten logging this one. Glad to turn this one into a smilie!
 
22-Mar-18
Found on 22 March 2018 at 7:29:27 pm. Find #2587. My first FTF for quite a while. Was on way home when thought i would have a quick look for this local.
Great hide .
Took about 5 mins to find.
Excellent little park.

Thanks for the adventure.

Was just enjoying a coffee while out shopping or should I say waiting while dear Mrs Hp went looking for a pair of shoes at Chirnside shopping centre. I decided to check my phone app while finishing off a freshly cooked donut and noticed a new unfound cache was approx 700 metres away. Licked the last of the sugar off the fingers and grabbed my bags and quickly set off to find my wife and then managed to get to the gz within 5 minutes. We must of circled around the area for another 5 minutes searching and came up empty handed. Bah humbug! I don't like getting stumped by a 1.5 x 1.5. Found the gz to be in a garden bed and was not too keen on trampling the area mind you the roses keep you on your toes so had to be a little careful wandering around in my shorts. Cache was probably there but it eluded us today. Got me out of shopping though so l shouldn't complain too much.
