Looks like a few muggles have been in that spot saw where it apeared to have been but no cache
Unfortunately it is waterlogged and log book ruined. This is on one of my regular dog walks so I have removed it to clean it up and waterproof it and will return it in a couple of days.
Family activity. Had fun. Thanks for organizing. May need a new log sheet as it's sopping wet.
Second attempt at this one. Last time it was in the dark, and I did not succeed. Good to return and finally bag it. Confirming previous log entries, this one is wet through and in need of maintenance.
I enjoyed the walk through this sanctuary. I loved the dog bowls carved out of rocks. There was no one around, so able to find cache quickly. Although log was soaked, probably from the heavy rain the day before. TFTC Team_Seegs.
Found it easily this morning on the way to work. Decided to take a little detour and it did not disappointed, definitely deserves the sanctuary moniker! Went on through Blackburn Lake as well, which was just as nice. Log did not enjoy the morning dew and is quite wet, managed to scribble a name down though. TFTC and for bringing me to this wonderful place!
Great find but a very wet cache. It'll need replacing as it's quite full of names as well as wet
Energized by our first find we decided to go for a second one. This was an easy find thanks to the clues. Unfortunately everything inside has been exposed to the recent downpour. Logbook was wet as well as the other treasures inside. Still able to sign but could do with a change.
Left a little treasure inside.
Thanks.

Thanks.
Thought the neighbours might have seen us, but I think we were stealthy enough!! Grabbed Geocoin and will help it on its way. TFTC!!
Thanx for showing us the lovely park. Not on my way to Italy so the coin is still there.
Found geocaching coin, very impressed. Notepad and entire box complete soaked. Couldn't log in
Nice spot. Hidden well. Logbook is very wet and quite hard to write on though.
Saw Pirate Bones Geocoin but left.

Out on a quick little run after work. I had time to kill as a friend was running quite late and thought how better to pass the time with a bit of caching. This was quite the quick find however I did feel very exposed but no muggles in sight. Tftc tnln sl
Love the sanctuary. Great that you provide a nice log for us to sit on!
We couldn't see the Team Firesafe Geocoin #49 (TB2EMVE) in there.
Sorry, didn't have the sealable bag for this geocoin: Pirate Bones (TB63MG8). Next to collect, please put it in one.

During my work and travel year in Australia I'm trying to solve my 365 days of caching challenge. Having a moving home zone should make this definitely way easier
I visited this area some more times and every time I only searched for one or two cache, always having the challenge in mind. Most times I started the hunt late in the eventing, so I could get at least two boxes around midnight.
This one was found fast and easy.
TFTC and greetings from Germany

My boss once told me to find another job :/

easy find after a quick history lesson from a new friend, found with georocks101, tftc
What a well established boss. My bosses statement was you are required to meet a work life balance as king as you maintain output. 900 hours up is considered fair. TFTC and I wish i had your boss.
A good day for a stroll after I dropped my geokid @ FH to sell Girl GuideBiscuits. Thanks for the decent size cache.
In the area for work, spotted this one and couldn't resist! Great little hidden bit of paradise! Thank you for bringing me here! TFTC!! By the way didn't see Geocoin but was in a bit of a rush to get back to work.
Great spot in the middle of the burbs. Hint not of much use. Logs on here more so.
Found it. Nice little walk in a lovely park. Good advice: "if you can think it, it is possible." Thanks
It was a tough one but found it in like 7 seconds. Traded something and was relieved to find it.
First one! Thanks My mum found it so maybe not quite 'my' first but it was fun, thanks! My only hint is that it's not at the base of the tree like the clue says.
Was fun to find!
Was fun to find!
Found it with splashdamage145 today. Had a bit of trouble, and the neighbor offered to help. A great first experience!
Arrived early on purpose to my job interview, thought it was worth a look for caches in the area. i had to try this...Blackburn is a hidden treasure of a suburb now I know a little more treasure is hidden right here. TFTC! #198
What an amazing sanctuary. Such a gorgeous little spot to visit. Sando23468, Tyzza1 and I have had fun reading the info in the park and checking out the grandchildren trees. TFTC
My first cache found in Australia.
Great place, cache was easy to find and one Kookaburra was watching us the whole time.
I was just a bit scared of snakes.
Greeting from Czech Republic.

Quick little detour on my lunch break, high heels and all. Best advice from my boss was to take a lunch break! Took nail polish, left mirror
Beautiful spot. Lots of birds. The kids loved it. Our first geocaching adventure. Thankfully a success and fun!!
My 50th find! Took the woody TB and left a bunch of lego heads as a sacrifice to the Groundspeak gods. tftc!
Dropped off trackable (Alligator) for bullocd on our holiday visiting relatives in far distant places. Please note I signed the log as Barbary, but this userid is taken so I joined as Max the dog!

TB Swap by Nanna and Grandad on their round the World trip. Compass TB taken. Alligator TB left - please help me find my way home to the UK.
Thanks
Thanks
I really love these caches that encourage us to stop and explore some of the parks we pass by, usually thinking 'that looks nice' but no real reason to stop. I especially enjoy these parks that shed a bit of light on local history, and we spent some time walking around and looking at the trees and their markers, enjoying the calm feel of the place.
The cache itself was easily found, well concealed but just where you'd expect it. Dry and in good condition. TNLN, thanks for getting us out for a morning stroll in a different spot Team_Seegs.

A easy walk to the gz today but the dry grass beside the path the dear geo wife a bit toey being a nice warm sunny day, snake country as she calls it...had no problems finding this one and it was soon logged. Thanks Team Seeqs for the cache and the opportunity to come and enjoy this great patch of bushland that is some what tucked away. Cache container and contents are all fine.
Thanks for the excuse to visit this park - perfect location for a geocache and lovely spot for a visit. TFTC
What a delightful little bushland oasis in the middle of suburbia. A very pleasant surprise, an easy cache, took TB to continue it's travels TFTC Team Seegs
I enjoyed this cache. Wander through the park, an easy find and some good little trinkets
A pleasant morning stroll to the cache today passing the pet memories and off to the cache. Lots of chirping birds. TFTC
Easy stroll in a wilderness park on a lovely afternoon. Without a cache to search for I would never have stopped and enjoyed this walk. TNLN. TFTC
Great this was our geocache great fun thanks. Sorry we didn't have anything to leave but we signed the log
