FALLEN HEROS Maitland, New South Wales, Australia

Beautiful memorial but sadly no cache. It was a day of intense muggle activity but looked everywhere around the rear of the statue but no luck. Worth replacing we think

I have moved and no longer able to maintain.

Had a good long search, but no luck. Maybe another day.

Found the Cache location but we think its missing. Checked the hint which appeared to confirm our fears it was gone. Had plenty of little eyes and hands helping me look but to no avail. Might need someone else to confirm, just in case we missed it.

Another good find while in the area. SL TFTC

done frodo

Great little find

Very easy to find. Lovely gardens.

Clever but easy

Madstars, this is indeed a very beautiful park. Number three for a day of five. Thanks. The ANZAC flowers were still in place.

Nice little hide. TFTC.

Nice spot I have not been here b4 thanks for placing the cache for us to find

Found while muggle gardener was across the road, TFTC.

I know it's been almost a most since if kind this cache but, I always pay my debts. I said I was going to write a better log and here it is.

We came down to Maitland Park for the Australia Day festivities and, after a feed and a few rides, I came down here really quick to scope it out.

Once I got to GZ there were people right there but weren't paying any attention to me. I would imagine they thought it was normal for a person to go and visit a memorial, especially on Australia Day.

After a quick search and having to look over and through to the cache, the log was swiftly signed and replaced as found.

Thank you MADSTARS for a great cache in a great location.

Found this cache quite easily after reading the hint. Thanks Madstars. TNLN.

Yay! This one was easy to find. Geodaddy was straight on it.. Geodaughter (1) loves to play with the goodies..
Will add pic when on PC.

I went to this area for another reason entirely, but geocaching had to be attempted. I was with gerrynewgirl at the time, so I chatted with the working Council guy, whilst gng located thje cache. We actukally fessed up about what we were doing though, which tukrned out to be a good thing, as the 'mature' aged Council guy told us that he now knew not to remove it if he disturbed it. TFTC

Look harder

Nice and easy. TFTC.

TFTH

Co ords a bit out.
Hint pretty straight forward but no luck.
May have been muggled. Worth a check from owner

Just hoping someone could put a nice clean A4 piece of paper in this cache for me.

It will keep this cache going for longer.

If you really want I can archive and a local cacher can take up the reins of this great little spot.

Thanks

Madstars

I decided to look for it even thought it is a micro, but I had a fair idea it was bigger than a micro so no worries lets go for it.
I found it with no problems, not sure that this is the original spot the CO placed it in, but I returned it where found
Thanks for the cache and the memorial.

Thanks madstars for show casing this interesting place that I drive past all the time and have never stopped. TFTC

Lovely park and memorial. We stopped here for lunch. TFTC Madstars

Headed into Maitland to do a few things and could not resist getting some caches as well. This was one we were able to find.
Thanks to MADSTARS.

In Maitland for a birthday party so thought we could find some caches too.
We have visited some wonderfull parks, cemetries, old buildings & seen some great caches as well.
This is a great location for a cache, a few people enjoying the pic-nic area put no broblems for signing the log.
Thanks MADSTARS

Beautiful memorial
Thanks

Log is almost full

Very nice park great memorial

Found within seconds.
Very quick, very logical hiding place.

After searching on the wrong level for a minute, we went up to the correct level and quickly had the cache in hand. TFTC

With numerous muggles around we abandoned search. Great park anyway thanks

Great Park Great Tribute to the Fallen, TFTC

On our Geocaching day out. TFTC

this is a nice pace. great day for it to. A play in the park and then time for treasure hunt

Quick find while heading to Newcastle airport
Tftc

Found with Geoparents on trip to markets

TFTC

Found with leashie on way back from maitland markets

These markets are awesome

A+ this is a great spot. TFTC

Quiet time here today. No muggles about meant quick and easy find. Thanks MADSTARS

Nice peaceful spot, we owe these brave people so much.

Revisited with Mr dazndky while bubby dazndky was having a feed.
Revisited while on our way home from the Tocal Field Day.
Beautiful day for being out of doors.

This monument is much more grand than most and places like these are definetly deserving of a cache in our eyes. After ANZAC day recently it was fantastic to see so many wreaths still laying at GZ. A good hide and an equally good hint. TFTC.

A very beautiful park that I would never have visited if it wasn't for Geocaching. Thanks for bringing me here. Lest We Forget. SL TFTC

An easy end to the day. TFTC

This was our last for the day after grabbing the near by one on the bridge as part of plan to let the evening traffic ease off before we hit the road. As we got near to GZ a group of muggles was playing hide and seek of the non GPS sort so we thought we would wait them out and read some of the history. The muggles soon left and we made a very quick grab of a familiar container type of the CO’s. We sat and signed the log, replaced it and headed off. TFTC

Found it, also checked out the Sandakan memorial nearby, SL, TNLN, TFTC

A nice spot and a clever hide.

Found ok in the dark

A few muggles about today. TFTC

Thanks for bringing myself and my geomini to this location. It is good to remember our fallen. The last person placed it to the right. It took a couple of extra feels. TNLN SL TFTC

Thanks for the hint & the cache. I would have struggled without it. Good place for a cache.

Found while at my nephews 1st birthday party. Never been here before, what a great park.
Log was a little damp, dried it out as best I coud.

Pity didnt take photo..
Thanks for bring me here and cache

easy found with whitepaws9 and hide well... thank

came up for the markets ( impressive ) and cleared a couple of caches before heading home. lovely park for a quick morning tea before moving on. nice cache thanks for taking us there.

DNF with someone who previously found the cache. cache is MIA since the garden has been redone.

Found on a weekend away.

Found on our trip away.

There was no one else any where near today, so this was a quick find for bikerbuddy.

Thanks for showing us this memorial, I hadn't been here before.

No one close, found by Bikerbuddy while I looked on.TFTC.

This is a pretty impressive memorial. Good to come here. And thankyou for the clue. Very sensible. Stops unnecessary rummaging through the gardens, which no one would like. I placed my hand on it straight away.

We were invited up here to the hunter valley by the local commercial balloonists.
It was their 30 anniversary of flying in the valley so 30 balloons were invited.
A fantastic weekend was had and some caching thrown in was an excellent way to fill the day.
Hint made this one a lot less frustrating, excellent.

Cheers for the Cache.

Thought it may be missing, since the gardener has been heavily pruning the area. Geokid spotted it, thankyou! great hide

easy enough find. nice area

Well kept grounds

We arrived to find a young worker whipper snipping the edges , doh, but with max router stealth the cache came to hand, thanx , it was then time for a cuppa and cake at the nearby tables, nice work

I thought this would be an easy find based upon the hint. It took a while to find. Lucky there is a hedge to hide me from muggles eyes.

TFTC.

A beautiful day with many people down the park, with no-one near GZ.

Great little hiding spot.

I liked this one. TFTC.

Found on a round trip around the area today. Nice quick find with the hint, as there were muggles about. TNLNSL TFTC,
Roostaman.

A realy well looked after park and a stunning monument. While the container is fairly standard the area is not, this is a must do cache. Thanks Madstars.

Found it in the long trip back to Cobar TFTC
