Binnak Park Bonus Bundoora, Victoria, Australia
By bunadoorian on 24-Jul-22. Waypoint GC9XMN2

Lovely day to stretch the legs with the kids. Lots of different zones to this park. Nice new logbook signed.

17:24I jumped into the car with n0w0rries +Wife and EveTheStaffy to visit a few local caches and build up the appetite for a sausage in bread.Once I'd bought a snag from this one's CO, it seemed amusing to do the Adventure and find one of his hides.This involved a lovely walk around Binnak Park, and a nice easy find.Thanks, bunadoorian.#9275

Had a great stroll though the park and cache was quickly located. tftc

Wandering around in circles too busy looking at other things and almost stepped on it. Lucky Tenkae was accompanying me and nice new log was signed!Thank youbunadoorian for showcasing this lovely area and contributing to this great game for myself and others to enjoy. Happy trails!

Such a great park. TFTC

Wah ! A brand new cache and logbook! Now I feel special!

Yes this cache had gone missing but now has been replaced and is again ready to be found. Happy and healthy Geocaching.

Did the adventure lab to get the coordinates for this cache and got to the correct place and couldnt find it. After looking at the hint and multiple compass apps we realised its probably not here. I think someone might have taken it or we were just looking in the wrong spot. was a nice walk though.

I had done the adventure lab while on walks to maintain my gestational diabetes with my recent pregnancy, no out with my daughter to find the cache, weather is nice, relatively secluded spot here, lived pausing and listening to the sound of wildlife around here. Tftc

Stopped to make the most of the fine afternoon to complete the adventure lab and grab this bonus cache. A nice little walk around the reserve.

Found 11:35Took the kids out to stretch legs, visit a park I used to have a cache in and follow the Adventureland. Playgrounds were great for the kids and we all got to stretch our legs on the walkNice easy find, TFTV

#56 22/12/2023 @7:22pmThanks for the bonus and a bit of extra time in a lovely park to walk

Nice walk around the park on a rainy day, with only a few muggle dog walkers.

Found with icw after a walk around the park to complete the AL. On our way to GZ we were careful to skirt around a group of warring Magpies. Seemingly a strange Magpie had entered the territory of a family of seven and they were noisily ejecting it. Once the interloper had left the residents returned to finding juicy morsels in the grass. Tftc.

Nice little course, and easy bonus cache find with . TFTC

Found with the sneakygeokids on a father's day adventure. Thanks For The Cache

After a lovely walk around Binnak Park picking up the clues in the AdLab it was great to come and find this bonus cache. TFTC and the AdLab bunadoorian.

Out with the family... should have been an easy find, but a rookie error had me searching the wrong spot.. then realises and off I jogged. All well that ends well

Thanks to bunadoorian for the fun and the adventure.

Nice quick find after a run around the park. Tftc!

In the area to meet our daughter in law so hung around to do a few adventures. This was one of them. Thanks for the adventure and the bonus cache to go with it.

Find number 11532 at 1:25:19 pm on Friday the 17 March 2023
Over in this area this morning getting the GeoVehicle serviced prior to towing the GeoAccommodation up to the GeoMega, all good to go
T'was a nice wander around Binnak Park, something that I have done many times but not for some time, my best mate used to live across the road to the west, I used to live down the roads a little to the south west and my misses used to live a couple of streets to the east, we had it snookered . After working out the final location the recovery and logging happened quietly and quickly.
**Thanks for placing this cache bunadoorian**

I completed the adventure lab and then sorted out the coordinates. The cache was found quickly and easily. Many thanks.

A lovely park to stroll around with au.fait on a hot day. Clues collected we arrived at GZ for a quick find. Thanks bunadoorian.

Back in this area again today and also with the lovely echidna44 as partner in crime. This was pleasant once we were in the more parklike area particularly as there was a bit more shade there on this hot day Not sure what it says about our sanity as the forecast was for 36!
TFTC bunadoorian

Found ok - an interesting variation

Nice Spot. Did Adventure cache for first time. Looking forward to trying some more

Nice walk around the park but used the car for one stop, and found the bonus on my second walk past as I missed it on the first one. Thanks for a great adlab and bonus.

I had a few spare hours while my wife was doing her part of the Xmas shopping so I headed out to fill a mystery calendar day. Weather was excellent compared to during the week.
This park was totally different to last one and there were heaps of people. Luckily the ad lab clues were easy with people around and GZ was also in a nice out of the way place.
Thanks bunadoorian for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

TFTC and adventure

Travelled down to Watsonia today for a family function, but managed to steal a little caching time before we had to rock up to the rellies. What a lovely park, tucked away here in the middle of the suburbs. Despite the rellies living quite close, we didn't know it was here. We really enjoyed the stroll that the labs took us on, made even more pleasant by a stunning day weather wise. All good at GZ. TFTC and labs bunadoorian.

Great hide. Thanks for the adventure!!

Day 1 of our Victorian adventure to attend the Whittesea Mega with BJA3! Great finish off to the top AdLab, TFTC!

It was mainly dry today and I had a free day to do some of the adventure labs in this area. Finding locations to park was a bit tricky (mainly for other labs), but I managed to drive around rather than walk. At one location I had some trouble with the phone/app which would not trigger the location but after a reset it worked and I was a ble to get some good co-ords. At Gz the cache was quickly found being a bit exposed. replaced and covered. Thanks bundoorian

After attending the Bunnings sausage sizzle event in Mernda we decided to try our luck at a few labs and whatever else came along before heading back home and this cache was one of them.
This was another adventure lab that would have been a very enjoyable walk, we did a bit more driving that we had intended due to the weather and just walked from where we could park the car which still didn't help very much as we still managed to get wet but we did enjoy the journey anyway.
We were rewarded with a set of co-ords for this cache and we headed off there where again the GPSr led us directly to a likely location and the cache was found in the first place we looked. We added our name to the log before returning everything as it was.

Thanks again for the cache bundoorian.

We found this cache today on our Rainy 7 Adventure Lab Run. This was the third complete of seven for the day. That was a nice walk around this park today. Thanks from D & HA B-A

Feeling like a walk in the park, I headed over to do this little series. Myself not frequenting this way there was plenty of caches to do.

With a little stroll and meeting lots of friendly dogs and puppies I soon got the information I needed and had the final in hand. Thanks for the cache and the lovely little stroll.

We had a bit of mucking around at GZ… but by now we were using our phone torches.
Mr Riddell eventually spotted the hide.
TFTC and the lovely walk.
Plenty of banjo frogs enjoying their lovely environment.
Mrs Riddells Uncle and Aunt were some of the first residents who ever lived in Bundoora. They are not alive anymore but It was in the early 70’s and Bundoora was a brand new suburb.
The big collage was on Grimshaw street, Sharpes Road was developed and they lived on a nearby corner of Cameron Parade and Donach Cresent.
Not long after that work began on the oval at Binnak Park. There was nothing there yet. There may have been a play ground!
TFTC and the memories.

A lovely wander around the park.
Fortunately I did them in the right order so I didn't have to retrace my steps for the final.
Thanks, Robmc.

They were mowing when I was here, but that didn't distract from a lovely walk through the park and this bonus cache!

Really enjoyed the adventure lab and then finding this final cache. TFTC

After completing the lab, took the stroll to this cache. Interesting what some people consider attractive. Thanks for the cache.

A really lovely park here at Binnak. One that I hadn't known about till now. Lovely facilities and a very enjoyable walk around. GZ was found with difficulty and after a short search using my eyes the cache was found.
Thanks bunadoorian for highlighting this arfea.

We enjoyed the stroll around this park and the spot on coordinates led to a very fast find at GZ. Thank you bunadoorian for placing and maintaining Binnak Park Bonus for us to find today.

Find # 1288.

A straightforward find, once I had all the clues. TFTC and TFTAL!

Found this one at 15:45 after a very pleasant stroll around the parklands. With a GZ calculated, it wasn't long before the spot-on coordinates had me signing the log and wondering who might be spying on my activities.

TNLNSL. Thanks bunadoorian.

Found by Mary and David at at 13:55. A FP for a leisurely saunter and stroll. Lots of steps for us too. Don't know the area at all. Great coordinates again too. Many birds, and a few people out with their dogs. All very enjoyable. Our thanks to bunadoorian.

There were a lot of muggles around today but I must say that the lunch OHC shouted me was delicious. Ate far too much really. It was a lovely day for a stroll, which helped us warm up a bit. Thank for the cache and bringing us here.

Another lovely stroll around the park, with a footy game in progress. We made use of the canteen for some home made soup and hotdogs.
We made our way to GZ where the cache was spotted upon approach. Rehid with a little extra camo.

Thanks for bringing us here today by placing this cache, bunadoorian

Nice adventure lab. Thx for bringing us to one of our local parks.

Found by Rebel Acts in the company of Omegaman1971 on what I can only call POETS day.

This is one of the caches found today. This was a nice park to visit.

Thanks bunadoorian for the cache.

Got the call from my buddy Rebel Acts about catching up and putting some smiles on the map.
Great to see some new caches in the area.

Cheers for the cache

I was planning on bringing my muggle husband to enjoy the Adventure Lab and this bonus cache later this week but today I had to drop my son at the airport and then I had an hour to fill in before my next commitment. A cool but sunny day was a nice time to enjoy walking around this park and eventually signing the log.
Thank you bunadoorian for this cache and giving me a reason to visit this lovely park.

A nice bonus to find after my adventure tour around the park. Thanks for placing your caches and showing me new places.

After completing the lab I was in the right place to add my name to the logbook. The juniors were playing football on the oval and it was my old team I played with for 2 years, Watsonia, before I decided to play basketball instead.

Thanks bunadoorian for Binnak Park Bonus

Thanks for a pleasant walk in a local park. Great to see so many famies out on a cold but sunny winter day. Tftc!

It was a drizzly evening, and FTF was gone hours ago, but it's always good to make a first day find and so here I was. The adventure lab worked seamlessly, the co-ordinates were clear and led me to GZ for an easy find. Thanks bunadoorian for the walk.

{FTF} 12:18pm

I was about to head out of the house to do some grocery shopping when this alert popped up. Woo hoo it’s not too far from home for once. Shopping can wait!

I headed on over and got caught in the typical Plenty Rd traffic snarl. Then I saw tow trucks drive along the tram lines and realised this could seriously impact my FTF attempt. I managed to do a U turn and find a back way through the chaos.

Arriving at the first Waypoint I began to explore. A hidden park I never knew existed. It is overshadowed by its larger neighbour, Bundoora Park but this park is equally worth the visit.

I explored the waypoints and bumped into someone who suspiciously looked like a geocacher. I asked them and they replied similar but different. They were chasing Pokémon instead which hopefully meant the coast was still clear.

I completed the adventure by visiting the ducks last and after some quick calculations set off to find the cache.

The logbook revealed an empty FTF page - winning! Time to head off to get my groceries now!

Thanks bunadoorian for adding this cache to the worldwide collection for us all to find.
