The diligent TTG council have removed all the convenient hidey holes and so i shall archive this listing and look for another likely place. Stay tuned
Looks like this has been muggled by the diligent council workers of TTG.
Watch this space for further developments....

Took Geowife there today and got her to help me search. Came up with nothing, maybe the cache needs to be checked to see if it has been muggled.
Looked everywhere today with no luck. There is a pile of chainsaw shavings/chips by the large tree at the rear of the park.
There also is an insect trap in one tree, looks like there is many things happening in this little park.
Maybe the cache has gone missing when council cut some firewood.
Suggest Rowoiezka has a drive by to check that it is still in place.

Gaahhh! My 2nd OF 2 DNF's for the day!
I will return!
Neat little park, but how about a swing set TTG Council?! ;o)

Made a quick find with the loving barks from the tiger/dog over the fence. TFTC
I think the locals might have this back to front in terms of disturbance. As I was just about to pick up the cache, the local bow-wow tried to eat me from the other side of the fence, with as much effort as it could muster! Fortunately I kept my cool and quietly moved away, signed the log and replaced the cache. Bow-wow must be used to the activity, and lie in wait, ready to scare the be-jesus out of unsuspecting cachers trying to be stealthy. I'm sure he/she must have great fun doing this.
Thanks for the fun, Rowiezka

I saw the birdhouses and wondered if i had to climb the tree to get the cache, but my worries were soon allayed as i spied the container.
Thanks Rowiezka
Thanks Rowiezka
Had to wait till elderly couple (even older than us!) walked pooch up and down the street - very slowly. TN left ball.
An easy find on a warm Spring afternoon. Liberated a spider that must have been incarcerated since the last visit on 11/11/11! Poor thing was almost translucent! Thanks Rowiezka.

Found and signed.
I would like to see some more camo on the container.
A tin of black spray will do the trick.

On a cache run out this way and this was our "just one more" cache, in a nice spot too. Bonus was that lovely smells were wafting from the shopping centre across the road so after finishing up our caching for the day we headed over there and rewarded ourselves with some donuts.
A mornings caching to reach the millstone of 700, still a few to go. Quick park and grab then back in the geoCaching Assault Vehicle and on our way.

After persuading younger FourW the bees wouldn't attack from the bird boxes this was a nice easy find. TNLN as our swap was deemed too valuable (!) to exchange.
Definately a high muggle area! Geokids had trouble being stealthy!!! LOL - Found by JAPER TFTC
A quick find while holidaying at Xmas with my son. Surprised at how many little parks are in Adelaide. TFTC
What a cute little park. We enjoy finding these little gems in the back streets. TFTC.
We had tried this cache in the first week it was published and there were just sooo many places it could have been amongst the bushes and with all the leaves (and rubbish) that we gave it up.
Finally went back there a couple of days ago and boy, what a difference. Next to no vegetation left there at all now.
It was interesting seeing the possum/bird boxes in the trees there. Both of them had a considerable number of bees flying in and out of them, making a nice little home there.

Very quick easy find with no GPS, Mrs ended up with a Geostripe in her hair from the thorns
Mini muggles were out in force, but in a clever counter espionage move I deployed my mini geokid and nobody looked twice .. I knew I had kids for a reason

We are logging through our personal geocoin - Geocaching 101 - to keep track of all the great caches we have visited!
Nice quick little find, was a bit worried if anyone in the kindie could see me rumaging around. TFTC
Found it nice and easy because the climbing ivy was not there any more.
Thanks Rowiezka for the cache.

Perth 10.3. A miss from my December visit. It has been well and truly cleared up back here, but at least this time the cache was there. Thanks.

Believe have logged find as 16th instead of 17th.
Retrieved GC . ( Coin 1 of 3 in Definitive GeoCoin Series) and will move on shortly.

Like Parislaura we only found an old cache, but signed the log there anyway. Thankyou
Funny, I think I found the old container, because it was cracked on the bottom like previous reports and it was definately not a new one and there was definately no trackable coin in there! Oh well I signed the log book any way thinking it was a shame that some one had already muggled the GC, but maybe it is still there in another location. TFTC.
Sorry have been away rather a lot and not getting this sorted. It is ready to go and has a new container.
This is one of our early cache attempts revisited as the first time grass was waist high for one of the kids. Can confirm all observations of recent finders. TNLNSL TFTC
Kettle Kid found whilst out on a ride on his push bike. Cache is still there despite being listed as unavailable, but needs attention as the bottom of the cache is cracked and will get very damp as soon as it rains.
Took nothing, Left Nothing

Found after a short search in the leaf litter. (I hadn't read the recent logs so hadn't realised it was off-line). The bottom of the container is damaged so it might need to be replaced before winter. Thanks for the cache Rowiezka.
YES IT IS STILL THERE. I checked yesterday. There has been some cleaning up and pruning so it should be easier to find,
but it is one of those caches that you could walk straight up to and put your hand on it, or spend hours looking. Why don't you put a hint, I can think of several but it is your cache.

Was hoping to locate this cache as the last one by Rowiezka that we had to locate.
Closest to home but hardest to find.
Plenty of cobwebs to be found and a few larger type spiders.
Was chatted to by muggle neighbour who said kids in area at night a lot so cache may be gone.
Spent 20 minutes looking and evetually left.

Sorry everyone - it appears that the muggles have got this. I will leave this off until school starts and many muggles are otherwise occupied.
Accompanied by Everlasting and Crank1. We searched high and low, but would have to agree that this one must be missing! Could you please check if it is still there. Thank you. Thanks for the hunt.
Last cache for the day.... Pity we couldn't find anything.... Please put the hint to save damage ivy and environment etc... Thanks.
Didn't get it. Found a spot I though it could potentially be in, but due to me having the dog with me didn't try. Will attempt again later...
On a caching adventure with TBG. Two out of two misses to start the day, a bit depressing. Thanks. Albida
I'm glad the nearby mugglet detention facility wasn't in use today, it would be hard to explain why you were so interested in this bit of the park. It does seem well protected by anti-Zytheran vegetation though.
TNLN - Thanks Rowiezka!

After few times not finding this one I was just having blind days. TFTC Took nothing left nothing.
Find 26 of 50 in a two day caching run around Adelaide.
It sure was warm but I loved tracking down caches.
Thanks for providing fun in my Holidays.
Finally 3rd time luck.
