Oops! Edited to DNF.
Looked under the 2 rocks. Nothing there. Checked photos so should be easy to pick. Think it's gone missing. Please check.

No peaches or cream but a tiny oasis that once held bakery horses. Cache is a little squished but still doing its job. TFTC.
The park was empty, but just over a fence was a bunch of people having lunch. The leaves were dry and I'm sure I was making a hell of a racket. TFTC.
Back in Oz meeting old friends and new caches.
Thanks for the hunt and the find today.

Pretty nice park that is well hidden. This cache was quite an easy find although there are not many places for it to be hidden, so I am glad that there is one to bring people to such a nice place. tftc.
Found the cache, no problem, then had to outwait a Muggle who decided to take a phone call in the park. Replaced and then read the history sign! TFTC.
Thanks geocaching. Was nice and easy to find and fun for the kids first adventure.
Easily found
Thank you for the cache
I have initiated a family who played there and who asked me if I played a game
Found on my third visit here - every other time I have been here I have been unable to search due to the muggles....

My return to the seven of the crime with daughter in tow resulted in a find. Caching with kids makes it easier to reduce muggle suspicion

TFTCCache in good condition. No TB though (bummer). History of the park is very interesting ... Shame there are no horses here now. TFTC!!!
Found it! Slightly different spot from original clue so we have placed it in correct spot! Congratulations for introducing some locals to a great little hidden park.
Checked at the given hint - no luck. The rain didn't help and I aborted after 15 minutes with no luck 
Out for a day of caching this was my 3rd. I should have walked from the reservoir parking was a nightmare. It did take a little longer then it should have. Both found in the end glad I had the park to myself. Thanks number 3 for the day.
I found the little park ok, but thought that I might have to give it a miss because of the renovations happening close by but in the end this wasn't a problem. The guy loading up his ute was completely oblivious to my presence. Cheers and TFTC
On a little walk checking out the neighbourhood. This corner was a nice little addition to the stroll.
I can attest that yes, the park gets used: on my arrival, two young lovebirds were sitting on a seat at the opposite corner of the park. While they were immersed in chatting away, I approached the GZ corner from the outside of the park and stayed low to keep myself out of sight. Though, nothing there to be found.
As I was considering leaving, the couple got up and left the park. Oh, nice, now I can do a full-blown search. Went through the options described by the hint but without luck. A little expansion of the search area, however, quickly produced the desired result as the container was there out in the open in a slightly different spot.
Signed the log (one of the multiple sheets and sides) and returned the container back in the same place, now covered to keep it out of sight.
The ziplock bag is torn from several places. Before the rainy season starts, the CO may want to add a new one in. Otherwise, all in working order here. TFTC, Bonaccordians!

Found with AlphaDeltaIndigo & RideTheGeoWalrus during an afternoon excursion around the Eastern Suburbs. ADI and I arranged to meet up with RideTheGeoWalrus, who was up from Adelaide for a short visit. I drove into town to pick them up and we started at the beautifully restored and converted Paddington Reservoir Gardens, to find the cache which shares its name. The gardens were quite busy on the nice sunny Sunday arvo, with a couple doing a professional photo shoot near Ground Zero. Patience paid off and we soon had the Cache In Hand. We struggled with the next two, conceding Did Not Finds at both 'Peaches and Cream' around the corner in Paddington and 'South Paddock' further down the road in Vaucluse, but had success 'Wentworth's Cliff', which was another pleasant surprise. We continued along to 'A Grateful Tribute' in Vaucluse but could not turn up the goods and logged another Did Not Find. Our final stop for the evening was down at Parsley Bay in Vaucluse with a successful find at 'Parsley Glen', which is truly a hidden gem of Sydney's foreshore. It was hard not to award Favourite Points to all three finds of the day because they were all really super locations. Thanks For The Caches to the respective Cache Owners.
Today we were in need of yet another calendar gap cache, so I took a minor diversion on my way home from work to have a look at this one. Parked the geomobile in Renny Street, and then ducked up the little laneway that connects through to Oxford Street. Then walked the short distance along Oxford Street, through a couple of back streets, and arrived at the little park.
Apparently it's called "Cook's Paddock" and it's a strange arrangement, being totally enclosed behind the houses & buildings with nothing but narrow laneways for separation. It's as if they demolished a house and turned the site into a park, rather than rebuilding on it.
Spent a little while checking spots around GZ, before doing a bit of rummaging and finally stumbling onto the hide. TNLNSL and then replaced as found.
Thanks bonaccordians for showing me this unusual little park, and for the cache.

Second of 8 for the afternoon after walking across from Redfern.
Surprisingly, it took some finding, but not for too long!
Lovely park .... it had two muggles there - but didn't stay long.

Who would have guesses this little park is here, just around the corner from the Iyengar Yoga Space. Namaste.
Thanks for bringing me to this hidden away little park As luck would have it there was a family enjoying the facilities when I arrived!! Luckily they didn't stay too long which meant I could get on with the search.
The history behind the park was really interesting.....it would be nice for us if the horses were still here but probably not so nice for them. TFTC
Sadly none of the TBs logged in here were actually in the cache

Great cache! It was FUN to learn about this unique location hidden away in busy Sydney. Cheers!
I've been living in Sydney for a few months now, but aside from lunchtime caching walks in the CBD, I haven't been out and about too much. With the wife overseas for a few weeks, I thought I'd take the opportunity to visit some caching hotspots along my trainline and see a bit more of the city in the process.
This was the tail end of a 3 hour walk around the area, and I'd been thinking about the similarities and differences to Melbourne, where I spent a lot of years. A lot of this area is similar to places like Carlton or Northcote, but so much greener - the streets here are overgrown with ferns and trees in a way that is sadly lacking in inner Melbourne. This cache is in a spot that's also very Melbourne - a hidden place in an alley where nobody would never normally go. Thanks for bringing me here!

Every day is an adventure here in Australia. Funny that you found this park while walking a dog considering their dog policy. There was a guy sitting on a bench using his phone, but he left before I even found the gate. Picked up a traveler to accompany back to the USA.
From the listing it was quite clear where to search. Thank you for showing us this hidden place.
today I visit this nice place and make the TB IN. Tftc Grettings from switzerland
A quick and easy find. I enjoyed walking around this area. Cache and log in good shape. Tftc

The fourth find of the day in Sydney, whilst visiting Paddington Markets. Ah, it was good to get away from the hustle and bustle of the main street. I wasn't really sure where I was going but eventually I arrived close to GZ. I was still on the wrong side of the fence of course, but I soon arrived at the cache site. I was a bit cautious in my searching, as it looked like a bit of a dodgy area, but I soon had the cache in hand. Log signed and cache replaced. TFTC bonaccordians!
