Naturally I didn't find this one... had a brief search whilst on tour with the kids visiting Singapore with the Round Square Australiasian conference, from the ACT in Australia. This was my SECIND DID NOT FIND overseas anywhere... (one of two DNFs as the opportunity was limited - students in tow for some, and muggles with machine guns around others!!! - now THAT is a good reason to abandon a search!!!)

I had no idea that this one was offline because I loaded my GPS before leavign Australia... oh well!!! It would have been a good place to put a cache!!!

Thanks anyway!

Was here for the third time - today finally muggle free and the cache quickly in my hand. But had a hard time to get the log back into the container. Felt quite on the clumsy side but finally managed...TFTC

Pretty sure I found it but I did not have tweezers and it was almost impossible to hook without. It has been pushed almost out of view by attempts to retrieve. Should check this and recover so that it can be retrieved. TFTC. Beautiful park.

this was definitely the nicest cache we found and also the smallest we ever held in our hands.
well camouflaged indeed. what a cute little feller!
we really enjoyed the walk there and its really a nice place to take a rest in the shade.
the tweezers we took with us were helpful eve4n though you could manage doing it without..
thanx for the cache!

Some caches we go through hell or high water to reach. It was the latter for this one. After I had set off at lunch time to find this cache, the heavens opened, the roads flooded and I was soaked through to the skin despite sheltering and also using an umbrella. The lengths we go to find caches!

The weather let up a little so I plunged on to the park, dodging cars splashing water all around. The cache itself was a quick find, particularly as once I had the printed instructions out, a gardener wandered past me and asked if I was looking for something. He mentioned that they had noticed the cache during recent pruning. So, the bad news is that the gardeners know about the cache, and the good news is that they know about the cache! He was quite interested in the idea that more people will be coming to the park looking for the cache.

Nice little cache. All is good order. Did not sign the log, as did not bring a pen (d'oh!) but will upload some photographs of the vicinity as evidence was in the location. Will not load up any pictures of the cache though, to keep the surprise for other cachers.

Moved on to "Murder in the CBD" nearby, but the rain got too much and had to give up.

TFTC!

Cool Place! This is smallest cache I have ever seen!

Looked high and low yesterday with no luck so had to come back today and have a bit more of a look. searched for a short time before the Gardener came over and sat at GZ. We then went into tourist mode taking photos and trying to not look out of place. Then the gardener asked us if we were searching for something, he had spotted our GPS and asked if we wanted to find it our selves or did we need a hint. just as he was talking I spotted the cache. This is our 500th GC find and it was a great find in a very beautiful park in Singapore CBD. Thank you for placing the cache.

Took long time to locate. Wonder if it was in the correct hiding place?

Once again we were foiled by the number of muggles about. Found the spot without any dramas but after sitting under the cache for about half an hour it became obvious the muggles were here to stay so it was time to move on without the find. Finding caches in the busy parts of Singapore is proving really tough!!!

Thefourbees (greetings from Australia) decided to look for this one as we collected the numbers for "story of a migrant". It was a bit tough but we got it in the end. Lovely litle park and the statues are impressive. TFTC

Nice spot. Many muggles around, decided to have lunch first and continue to search for this cache. Found this easily with the hint. TFTC!

Had a lot of fun with this one! Attempted during Singapore's lunchtime with lots of people about. I managed to sit and observe, changing my seating position a number of times until I worked out a likely spot. During this time the local gardener was keeping his eye on me, so when I had a few seconds when no-one was watching I jumped up and started searching. Luckily I soon had the cache in hand - but then it took over 10 minutes to replace it! Thanks for a great little hide in a nice park!

A nice quiet Sunday morning in the park. Huntersw showed me the general direction and I made the find. A great hide. TFTC

A fairly quick find once I had navigated to the park. Not too many places it could be. Luckily it was easily spied Wink Cheers Gav [3579]

On our tour through Chinatown we found that one as well. We arrived at the same time as another tourist couple who decided to have their lunchbreak right at that place.
So we had a look a the nearby temple first and when we came back the field was ours and the cache quickly found!
Thanks for showing us that nice place!

Found this cache on my second attempt. It is so nicely done that one will need to really look very carefully to find the micro....and what a lovely micro this is. SL, T4TC!

Another one of the many nice small parks, and some nice sculptures.
Also a very nice hide. Thanks for bringing me here.

Found on our last day in Singapore, had a couple of hours spare between doing the tourist thing and a couple of cache's. What an interesting area, this beats shopping while here. Had a great time in the nearby temple, soaking up the culture. Quick find once the parking inspector moved on from her tea break. Thanks for the cache.

I found this cache (my first in Singapore) while on a walk around Chinatown - . I see some other Aussies have left their mark. SL. TFTC

Found whilst doing the "Story of a Migrant", it's on the route. Didn't have the hint with us but fortunately ran into the park ranger who knew what we were after. Well spotted Ms Special K...

First attempt (also my very first encounter with Geocaching) was on Sep 8, didn't find the cache due to heavy downpour. I guess the cache was meant to be found cos' we were doing another cache while passing by this one and found it with the great help from the gardener .. and of course team mate M.

On a quick trip to Singapore and found this one quite easily. Back in Darwin, Australia, we have an abundance of these cache containers. Looks like I was the first to sign the new log! Thanks Dragon's Eye & TheBengZ for the great cache in a top little spot!

Talk about walking in circles, kept on losing reception but found GZ in the end, then had to wait & wait & wait as muggles on every seat, eventually found, signed log which is nearly full & on the the next find.

About 5:20am today on a run, stopped by to check this one out. Totally dark, and one guy kept doing laps around the block, giving me a funny look! Hope to be back one day in daylight for another go.
Thanks!

Pretty unlikely that someone could have managed to piss on this cache. We waited out some muggles then started to have a look around. After around 15 minutes, I spotted something that didn't seem to belong. Cool spot in the middle of the city and a very well hidden cache.
 
29-Feb-08
Good tip about the tweezers!!
 
21-Feb-08
Cute!
I had already given up, but remained sitting for a while, when suddenly my eye fell on it... Hang on, what is that?

Thanks!
