This one has disappeared before. I am archiving this to allow another cacher to use the park.

If you require more time please be sure to **post a note** (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date, if you do not then you cache may be archived without further note from a reviewer.

Unfortunately we didn't find this one although there were no muggles and we really searched very thoroughly. Nevertheless we liked the beautiful park and the uncommon war memorial. What a good idea to use flowerbeds and gardening to remember these brave women and men!
Thank you for luring us here!

First find of Day 5 of my Road Trip before my middle son’s eighteenth birthday. Today was a long drive to see my wife’s aunt and then camp with the platypuses!!!

While the others ordered lunch I took the dog for a walk here and struggled for too long as the gps was a little off.

Just cruising today from Kyogle to Grafton and doing some caches along the way. This was our last find for the day and was quite an easy find. We picked it to be the last one as the jacaranda always represents Grafton. The cache duties were done, all was replaced and it was time to go and set up camp for the night. Thanks to Magpyre for this cache placement.

A beautiful sunny afternoon in Grafton to myself. What luxury and what else would one do except go caching!
I couldn't possibly leave town without finding this cache. As a child I had a huge Jacaranda in the bottom back corner of our yard. It sheltered the birds' aviary which gave us so much joy. It also provided shade for our picnic lunches which were a real treat. Oh the simple joys of life!
Luckily I found the cache in the first hidey hole and soon had added my name to the log. Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache Magpyre. SL as SG as I often do in small caches.
