Description
Logs
Well, I found this cache as GC4XHN4 back on 21st July, 2014. My log then was:
"The GPS said it was behind the fence, but I looked around and could see it from some distance away.
Nice job on the camo, but the lid colour stands out. Thanks for the hide."
As this same cache was also listed as GA6648 I will now claim the find on GA as well.
However, I did go there again today and had a good look around without finding GC4XHN4 / GA6648, so it has probably gone. GC4XHN4 was archived on 29/8/20 so you can write this one off too.

i just realised this one cache is listed both here and elsewhere, so logging here now as well

2 for the price of 1 with the listing on the other site as well. Won't argue with a bonus smilie. Lots of local dogs behind fences barking away merrily, and a family near the for somewhat reason fenced off playground, but I had the place to myself. Found it a little way away from where the iPhone wanted me with the help of the hint. Last for the day on a trip to Gosford, which actually is closer timewise to home than most of Sydney so I should do it more often. Thanks mitchy2004.
Exploring the workings of GCA today (30/11/15) and saw this cache, which is also a GC one, listed. I have previously found and logged it on GC, as follows:
"After watching Svetlana play soccer in a deserted park nearby, I headed to this cache having decided that some more geocaching was the order of the day on such a fine, sunny first day of spring. This was a straightforward find after my GPS had pointed me to the area I needed to explore ... thankfully, I didn't have to use the hint, as it doesn't make much sense ... to me anyway.
Thanks for this find, Mitchy, in an area I have not previously explored."

Like Opa Shrek, I am learning more about GCA and checking our nearby GA caches. It's 18/11/2017 as I type, but I have also previously found the GCA cache "MItchell Who" ( https://coord.info/GC4XHN4 ) which is the same cache at the same co-ords as this one. My GC log was:
"Walked here from home with my son. Never been to this park before, even though I've lived in the area for 10+ years! Very easy to find and I liked the camo. Obviously no need to jump the fence or anything. TNLNSL. Didn't get the hint, unless Mitchell is the name of the park?? Thanks for the cache mitchy2004!"
Backdating my log here to that same day (16/8/14)

We were helping with a sailing regatta at the sailing club when this one was published so a detour on the way home was on the cards. We were hoping that no one had found it by the time we arrived. We were very lucky and managed to get our first *FTF* for the year.
A decent sized container in a park we never new was here.
It is amazing how many homes have been built in the area. Mrs Shifter visited the area regularly about 6 years ago and the majority of the homes in Coolawin Circle joinin the two ends of Corella Cres were not there.
Thanks for the cache mitchy2004.
