Poor thing is sodden through. What a beautiful spot! TFTC
 
17-Aug-13
Found cache container 2/3 full of water. Will need drying out.
 
17-Aug-13
Came up north to visit the resource recycle centre that is not very far from here and ended up spending a little money but it was a bargain! Then looked up local caches and found my way to Tolosa Park where I've never been before. What a great facility. Found my way to the end of the road and its just a short walk to GZ. Cache was visible on approach but when retrieving it discovered that it was full of water Sad and all contents submerged. The lid was locked on properly but does show an edge where repair work has been done. Emptied water out and managed to sign the soaked log with my uni-ball pen. Maintenance required to dry out container. Anyway, thanks jaktas for a great cache location.

20-Jan-12
This cache was found as part of a big day of caching the Hobart area with lots of caches found and many interesting sites seen and visited.

A big thanks to my dedicated driver/navigator, who played hard ball and gave no hints and only got out of the car at the caches he hadn't found, and my little mate who came to most of the finds with me.

TFTC
 
12-Jan-12
Lovely park very quiet early in the morning. Great for kids to play TNLN. TFTC.

11-Dec-11
Found this cache on Sunday 11th of December 2011 with JnrC, took dice left duck. Short time later, returned with JnrL, hubby (and JnrC again) took duck left shell. TFTCs. P.S.

11-Dec-11
Just happened to have a family b.b.q right near this cache today. contents are wet but log book Is fine. TNLN
 
11-Dec-11
Early in the afternoon, we drove to where we needed to be to retrieve this cache. It seemed that the entire park was full of muggle gatherings and one beside GZ. So we aborted the mission and decided to return later. After seeing the previous log, it seems that not all were muggles! I'm sure that no matter how stealth we had been, GeoCheryl would have been on to us! We did return early evening and the busy park was now almost free of anyone. Only a jogger and a small group of very merry, tinsel decorated muggles taking photos of themselves. GZ was now free to be searched and the cache was found easily before we chose a nice grassed area to sprawl out on while we ate some takeaway dinner and relaxed. TFTC!
 
08-Dec-11
Ahh the god of caching is fickle, dropped in on this one at 6:30 the park was empty as I drove up but there was an RV full of muggles right behind me who seemed to be everywhere in minutes
Cache itself was an easy find seems to be guarded by a skink but he was easy to move, have tried plugging the hole in the container with a plastic bag I had with me.
TFTC
 
03-Dec-11
The lid of this cache has a section broken off and water is getting in. The log is okay so far thanks to extra pastic bag but all else is soggy.
 
03-Dec-11
Found it easily thanks to a ray of sunshine. Took pink snake & left dice. Re-placed a fraction better so the sunshine does not give it away so easily. TFTC.
 
15-Aug-11
This time this was an easy find. Looks like the garden bed has been cleaned up significantly since last time we were here.
 
12-Aug-11
Nice easy find in between appointments. Never even knew this part of the park existed TNLNSL
 
15-Apr-11
I still believe I did this one larst time we where in town. Would like to see how busy it gets on a weekend or in warm weather. Only other person this early were some works driving a ute and a few kids walking to school.
JABs.
 
19-Feb-11
Thanks for the cache.
 
14-Feb-11
Nice one! Smile taken Rex, keep an eye out for him.
 
04-Feb-11
Had to wait till coast was clear but in the end it was a pretty easy find - hint helped. TFTC
 
23-Jan-11
We poked around for a while but couldn't find it.
 
17-Jan-11
Did a little grovelling in the wettish grass to find this one... but the eagle-eyed landlockedsailoress spotted it in a place where I'd already "looked".

Left TBs "Rex" and CITO. Took Geocoin

TFTC.
 
18-Dec-10
Perhaps I am a lousy searcher, but I just could not find this cache Sad
 
16-Dec-10
757 - After having to wait for someone who was late to an appointment we found this cache nearby at 3:46pm. It was nice day in the park with not too many people around to hinder a search. Thanks for the cache jaktas.
 
Spent 40 minutes trying to track this one down with the 2 year old geo-kid. Found a big blue tone lizard right at the base of the tee at gz and lots of mushrooms in circles. Great little sport for kids. No muggles around today.

03-Oct-10
Finally found it after a couple of attempts this time with out muggles around
 
25-Jul-10
Finally had time to get back to this one. Glad to report that finally we have found it. Sorry for the dnfs before! Took tb and key ring thong left Sylvester. Tftc and the solved puzzle taht this cache has been!
 
22-Jul-10
We took a few minutes to search the area before locating the cache. TFTC
 
08-Jul-10
I'd been ignoring this one because of the DNFs, but rediguana and moneydork's find meant I though I'd go get it after a couple of other caches up in the reserve.
It took about 5 minutes to find, and the coords were pretty accurate - thankfully no muggles about!
I was surprised to find that the last entry in the log was Norm's Quest back in November 2009 - I suspect a few cachers in New Zealand are in need of remedial log signing lessons Wink
TNLN TFTC
 
17-Jun-10
Saw the lsit of DNFs on this one but gave it a go anyway.
I was ready to give up, however Rediguana came up with the goods.
TFTC.
 
17-Jun-10
A nice walk down, and a fair search, but I eventually managed to lay my hand on the cache. Quite surprised to find such a large container too - I suspect a few cachers in Hobart are in need of remedial caching lessons Wink Cheers Gav [6073]
 
17-Jun-10
Found the cache today. It is there! Posting as a note as I won't be logging finds for another week or so. Cheers Gav
 
02-May-10
Can you please check on this cache
 
02-May-10
multiple visits with no luck - i suggest that it has gone
 
06-Feb-10
Looked around for quite a while but couldn't locate this one. It hasn't been found in a while and the park has been given a good mow and cut, so it is possible it was discovered when the bushes were trimmed. Could the owner please check this one, just in case?
 
06-Feb-10
I think its been muggled Sad the bushes have been hand mowed and cut back. not found since november it might need checking! a lovely dusk hunt though!
 
20-Nov-09
Had a short amount of time inb Gleniorchy and though this woyuld be a quick one. How wrong can you be. With a school group in the area for end of year picnic made it a bit harder but in the end they were more preoccupied with the BBQ and games rather than boring old me!. Signed the log TNLN. A nice simple hide but the blackberries and the dead possum nearby did not really enthral me to look really hard. But a great spot none the less.
 
18-Nov-09
Found at 1345hrs as 1st of four for the day; 266th overall. Had many a BBQ, attended shows and generally enjoyed myself in this park. Thanks for the memories and the cache, cheers OldSaint.
 
12-Nov-09
Found 18:40 L TB T N. Just made it before the gates closed for the night and as it was a bit cooler this afternoon we had the area to ourselves. What a change from all the recent muggle attacks in other places Smile TFTC it was a nice afternoon stroll.
 
30-Sep-09
Nice park and had never visited before. Plenty of muggles doing laps. Took snake & left soldier. TFTC
 
11-Sep-09
Thanks for bringing us to this place we have heard about before. Lots of kid muggles about prob due to school holidays. Great area - no wonder they have concerts here.

Keen to get my 50th cache but the previous two attempted were unsuccessful for different reasons. However, stopped in here on way home from Founder's Day and 100 years of Scouting in Tasmania celebration at the Botanical Gardens to make that key milestone. Thanks for the cache.

Find 31 of our Southern Invaision Tour, day 3

Almost passed on it, but in the end we drove almost all the way there, had a quick stroll, the muggles in situ for Australia Day celebrations did not take any notice of us as we wandered on by.

When I was much, much younger, we'd often come to the shelters visible from this cache for BBQ's on nice days. I can remember jumping the fence and exploring up and down the watercourse that runs nearby.
Haven't been in this part of Tolosa Park for years, so it was nice to see it again and relive all the memories. I was surprised that most of the original play equipment still seems to be there! Thanks jaktas, a nice spot and good hide.
 
16-Jan-09
Cool We did this one at our aunt's birthday!
Took travel bug left Donald Duck!!
 
06-Jan-09
Found by Quilter with Sirius and Netballer dragging the chain. One of our favourite parks, especially around Feb with the TSO performing. TFTC Cheers Quilter
 
02-Jan-09
The weather was rather kind to me by the time I made my way back into town. The sunshine was enjoyed as I walked to GZ. It didn't take long to find the cache, much to my relief, these caches usually take me a while!

Cheers,

Coords were spot on which made it an easy find.
Many thanks.
 
09-Dec-08
Lots of searching tuned up no results for myself and Erin87. Couple of muggles around which made it a little harder than usual but we managed.
Will have to go back and have a better look
 
26-Nov-08
Found with no trouble at all. Great spot for kids, caching almost becomes 2nd fiddle once they see that big UFO. TFTC
 
11-Nov-08
Just lucky we were looking for a playground with steps! Happened to be nearby. I couldn't find it for the life of me, but geo-wife spotted it straight away.
Left a pen, took a couple of stickers for the kids.
Thanks!
 
07-Sep-08
We thought we were going to be impeded by a muggle birthday party, but fortunately the cache was hidden just out of their sight.
A nice quick cache for a cold and wet afternoon.

I've been 'saving' some easy caches not far from home so I'd have some to do when I had the itch but didn't have much time. So despite coming here for several BBQs and 2 events since this one was listed, I hadn't found it until today. But with a mainlander coming to town tomorrow, I thought I'd knock off a few so perhaps he could accompany me to my 1000th GC.com find. (I reached my 1000th coombined GCA/GC find way back in January!)

So anyway, I left poor Lottie in the car - emprisoned for being a dog - and made my way to the cache. There were muggles playing near by, however the placement ensured that was not a problem.

Thank you for the cache!
 
17-Aug-08
Luckily the gate was open so after completing a bumpy drive around to the rear carpark I arrived on scene. A group were having a BBQ but luckily the cache was placed out of their range so it was a logical and easy find.
Thanks Jaktas.

10-Aug-08
This is certainly a fantastic park to have fun in with huge well maintained areas, we have never seen so many BBQ''s and shelters in one park before. Luckily for us this morning was very cold and we were the only ones making use of the area. We could see this being totally different on a warm day, to make it even better, this was our third cache attempt today and our first find
We took the Tb
Thanks Jaktas for the cache and for showing us this great park
 
02-Aug-08
went to a work bbq near here not so long ago, wish I had've known this was here at the time! not often I get to go caching on work time!

Wanted to finish my second milestone today, and this one was just begging to be found... so this one marks my 100 caches in a month.

So many muggles, but a nice place to sit and relax while waiting. Took pokemon, left ball and bubbles. TFTC!
 
25-Mar-08
Found 16:30, we found this cache just as the rain eased, however the lid was not on the cache properly and the contents were quite wet, the log book was fortunately dry.

TNLN, CSI=3, thanks jaktas.
