No where to be seen ..from logs have been missing for a while..also recent floods that covered the area may have destroyed it
Had a good look around where it should be but can't find it, owner might need to check as it appears to have been muggled.
A stretch of very soggy boggy ground to cross to reach this one, but we found it. TFTC
Easy to get to, great area for kids. 3rd cache for this beginner. Also found with Mighty Minions.
Had a great day out caching with Gilmaster and our families,had lots of fun.Found this cache easily and enjoyed the walk around the lagoon TNLN SL Thanks for the cache vknen
Going the opposite direction to where we found a couple of caches last night, we are now heading SW.
The recent rain meant the shoes got quite muddy. While I left a ziploc bag to keep the log book drier it seems I should have left a pen
Discover Me Tag thru (on way to SA)

Definitely agree with the last logger about the MUD. But I guess the area is needing the recent rain, so i can't complain too much.
2222, GAFF1 Took a bit of a drive around from the GPSr trying to route me to the closest approach to the cache, which doesn't work. Found the way, and was surprised to see a couple camping down by the waters edge (and still awake). So I was very quiet as I squelched my way across the paddock. Not too much of a geotrail until right near GZ. Nicely hidden. No problems with mozzies.
Dry and intact. Didn't leave a CSM. Was going to leave a yoyo, but couldn't tie the string in the dark.
Another for the Night Caching elective bookmark. Day 504 of GeoStreak, and getting away from home leaves me only x 5 to find within 80 km.
Brought through for mileage: 12-12-12 Event, 3 Bros NSW, Auckland NZ'13, Aussie Christmas Geocoin, Blaze the Campfire Travel Tag, B 2 B Travel ingot, CII-35Z, CITO - Upper Swan and Beyond geocoin, Dixie, Explorer Tag - Jeremy, GCookie EARTH Cache 10 year Celebration Coin, GxPROXY Traveller - MATT, Iconic Bridges 2012, JERSEY THE WOOKI DOG RSPCA FUNDRAISING TRACKABLE, Mei letzter Schilling, cache critters Baa, Neigh Neddy, and Oink, NZ Mega 13 signature, NZ Mega 2013 GCookie Coin, Semmels first 1,000 Geocoin, TransAustralia, Travel Bug Janklebu, X-Mas Geocoin 2011, and trackable shirts.

Parked the car on the side of the road. Saw some lady at one of the park benches, but she paid no attention to me. So I enjoyed my short walk around the houses to the GZ. Some of the field was wet from recent rain, but could easily avoid the worst of it. At GZ terrain rating would have been to low if it was not for the very well worn track to the cache. Cache was found very easily. Had no bag around log, but was still nice and dry.
Thanks for the nice walk, wouldn't have come out here if it wasn't for this cache!

First cache of the night in a very long time. Parked about 200m from the cache, was wary of the flying bats above us. We got 5m from GZ and we thought we heard something in the bush near the cache. Found the cache, signed the log and got out of there. Gosh there was some spiders about. TFTC
Found the cache after a short search. Be wary of the spiders. Gloves and a big stick may be a requirement at times.
Wow, that was a long train ; Found the prize in hiding but not under a rock [?] SL, TNLN, TFTC
Lovely warm day today, great enjoyed around maitland caches and good spot GZ and clever hide well, thanks....
Went to 2 places before we even got close.
Had a lovely walk near the lagoon.
We were with team ryanandadam so i sent them and scoobydoo into the "forrest"
They soon came out with the Cache and we all signed it.
The hint had us thought because it said under a rock but it was under something else.

Came up to Maitland today to grab a few old and new caches.
Our car GPSr took us too far past the entry waypoint so we had to backtrack quite bit till we were on the right side of the tracks. A nice walk through an equally nice park and we soon had the cache in hand and log signed. Thanks vk2nen. roger AR.

Didn't bring pencil but could of written it in spider venom. GIANT spider hiding ontop of cache. Beware.
Though a light rain was falling for a lot of the day we still had a good day out and this was one of the caches we were able to find.
Thanks to vk2nen.
Thanks to vk2nen.
This was a nice easy find, but the shrubs were very spiky. Thanks for the cache
Don't wear any good shoes on this one. ground is till wet. Had fun with the kids on this one, even with the prickly trees. This one is close to home for me. But that's good when you are looking to entertain the kids for a while.
Slight detour on the way to Bunnings to finally get this one. A bit wet under foot in some places, GPS spot on, thanks vk2nen.
Found whilst up at steamfest for the day.
Was lucky for the geokids that a steam engine passed buy as we were there.

With a little bit of looking around and a 'hey that doesn't belong here' found at the exact coordinates. TFTC
Dropped of my car nearby for a service and thought I would ride home and collect caches on the way. A glorious morning ride across the dewy grass.
Hint could do with being updated.

Starting to get a bit dark and the mozzies were getting too friendly!
Will go back in a little while when we can spend a bit more time.

Nice hide took a lot of searching in spiky trees. Nice view though. Thanks for sending us to this park.
