The Council have now taped off the fencing presumably to replace it so we have removed the hide and will try to find a new spot thanks to those who have participated in finding this cache
Nice amazing location.
Cache is pretty easy to find with good geosenses.
Excellent hiding place.
It is wedged in. You may need to lift
Something. I won't say more so I
don't give it away. I tried to replace
so it is easier to retrieve. Took me a
long time and some thinking.
Good luck.
TFTH great cache

It took a while to find a muggle free window as it was lunchtime and a water truck was filling up a few meters down the road. This prompted us to get our own lunch on the other side of the park. It's a beautiful spot. TFTC.
A big day out caching with friends Liz & Bruce in the Fish creek to foster area. On our bikes mostly along the rail trails and some along the way. Mostly they were fairly easy finds and the co-ords very good. Thanks to FlyingPigSquadron for hiding this cache.
Today was rail trail day so with two foldup bikes in the car we were on a mission plus our additional aim was to do some of the other caches around this scenic and delightful area. This was one of the caches we targetted and were able to find in conjunction with caching friends LazzaL. A return visit to this one had us find it but even after a hint from the owner it took a while. A lovely little park and gets a fav point. Thanks to FlyingPigSquadron.
FlyingPigSquadron has finally landed! Cache ready to go again. Happy Hunting!
Sorry for the delay in resetting the cache, due to an unexpected stay in hospital. Recovering now and will reset shortly. Apologies to all those avid searchers
FlyingPigSquadron has landed! Cache was still in place but we have removed it to look for a new spot. The cache has obviously been muggled with the unpleasant comments and cigarette butts in the container
Pleasant walk in
Park after a great sandwich at local bakery. Found gz and had a really good look for it but alas could not find it. Silkyie

Took a drive from the Prom and had lunch out with a number of families. We all searched for this one in vain ...
Arrived in Foster for an overnight stay as I head to Melbourne. I had a good look along the fence but no luck for me this afternoon. Called it quits. You can't win them all. Thanks anyway FlyingPigSquadron.
Tried this one with kids and Wittytroopers kids while mums shopped. Couldn't find it.
We are on a short holiday from Bendigo to Bermagui with a couple of nights in Port Welshpool on the way home. Apart from the great weather and beaches we wanted to collect caches in the maps we were missing for the Victoria Country Road Atlas Challenge GCY98X.
We have Spotty Wot with us. She has cached for years with our daughter as well as with her aunts and has now started logging in her own name.
This was our last day of caching while we travelled around Toora and Foster on a wet miserable day.
Noone about today so we just had to contend with the cigarette butt collections. A pretty little park to explore while we waited for our coffees.

Took a couple of minutes til we found the spot. Bit an easy find anyway. Tftc. Caching with Dustieann & Smurfy
Found 3/11/13 whilst down at Walkerville for a long weekend. We came in to Foster today for the Produce & Craft Market and enjoyed a stroll around the stalls, afterwards stopping off at this lovely little park. The cache was found after a short search - our thanks to the FlyingPigSquadron.

After visiting marias, thought I might get this one. Forgot pen, but found it Tftc
What to do on beautiful Sunday, Tax or caching?
So MissJane and I went for a Sunday drive and we did some caching on the way.
With the GPSr pointing us over the creek, we went for stroll and soon arrived at GZ. we looked for about 5 minutes and soon located the cache signed the log, replaced the cache and wandered off for a well earned coffee.
TB "Scrat" visited your cache whilst on his Great Aussie Adventure.

Fancy this being tucked in here found this one very easily as it was in clear view. Loved the park so pretty tfth
Found this one without our GPS, we just had a feeling of where it was going to be. After the log was signed we had great fun having leaf races along the little river. Thanks for bringing us to this amazing park.
Found whilst on a short holiday in Gippsland and taking the geodog for a walk.
Thanks FlyingPigSqyadron - Nice spot.

Out and about at large with my caching buddy Slink1 on another legendary caching trip. Bikes deployed where needed, Walking when appropriate, drive by where possible. A big day of caching enjoyment was had by both of us, and a vote of thanks to the cache owners for the effort and placement of the
caches. A quick find here TNLN SL TFTC.

The weather continued to be amazing for our holiday.
We jumped on the bikes again for some of the trails and did lots of walking to others.
Some of these caches were so cool to find, and the scenery is amazing.
Thanks to all the cache owners for the hides down here.

Found with Mum & Dad on a holiday to South Gippsland.
The weather was fantastic and the caching was fun.
Thanks to everyone who hid caches for me to find, I had so much fun!

Picked this one up while attending a 'mystery bike hike' in the area with scouts. Took a little while to find as I was looking in the wrong place at first. A nice park and town with lots of hidden history.

#1857 We are on tour down under visiting friends in NSW. Right now we are on the way to Tasmania. In between we are grabbing some caches. This one was a quick and nice find.
Thanks for the hide and greetings from Bavaria [green]Sospetto & Sospetta[/green]

we found it as familiy: one for the camouflage against muggles, one to lighten with flashlight and to assist, one to grab the cache with very small fingers...
tricky!
nice place and good cache!

A muggle zone, so had to be stealth. Lovely area. Took a few minutes to locate. TFTC.
Took a few minutes searching the hidey-holes, but eventually found it. Nice quiet little park, great drive-by. Cheers!
Had to do a bit of coaching today for this one. Gave my wife a couple of hints, but accidently found it before her !
nice hide, didnt take too long

In Foster to get some groceries for our camping trip at Tidal River. We stopped for the loo and draw four took us to get this cache that he couldn't find last time. Slurpee found the cache.
Found today whilst in Foster picking up some groceries. We are staying at Tidal River for 3 weeks. This one almost eluded me again until Skip (who wants to change her caching name to Slurpee) found the cache and put us all to shame. Tftc ??
After finishing my two jobs,one in Inverloch and the other in Kardella south,I decided try for a ftf on the two cache's just outside of Foster that got published on Melbourne Cup Day. No luck as The FlyingPigSquardron had landed on them already, I cant believe they sat there all week and you did them the same day as me. The cache was very hard to remove from the hidding spot but got it out to sign log Thanks FlyPigSquadron for the cache.
Great hiding place! Nothing to take (it's small), but left a kid's tattoo and a heart button.
We were looking for this one when we heard from a nearby car 'Found it?'. Of course, being followed by the FlyingPigSquadron! Too funny and yes, we found it although retrieval was a bit of a challenge. Hopefully it will be easier for the next folks looking for it. Once again, thanks FlyingPigSquadron.
FlyingPigSquadron has landed! checking cache - safe & sound & dropping off Blue Line TB
Found at 12:20. Working across the road today so when lunch time arrived it was a short stroll to this cache. Approaching had an idea where it might be as I have seen one similiar and cache was quickly located. The log book is saturated and was barely able to extract and sign log. The park was very peaceful a great place to spend a lunch break. Thanks
A quick find after travelling from Melb for the day for a surveying job here in Foster. A lovely sunny and calm day. Thanks FlyingPigSquadron for the cache. Regards, 38degsouth.
In Foster with smac24 this afternoon. Had 15mins to fill in before an appointment, so thought we'd tackle this one and cross our fingers and toes that it wasn't going to be tooooo difficult!! Had a stroll around admiring this beautiful Pearl and made what turned out to be a quick find!! Signed the log and made it back with 1 minute to spare!! I absolutely love this Park so it was lovely to revisit even if it was only briefly! TFTC FlyingPigSquadron
We looked for this cache back in July 2010 with our geo son and wasn't able to locate it. After a cuppa with family and on our way home again we decided to try again. Unfortunately the GPS died so we relied on our memory. Amazingly we went straight to GZ and SL in minutes, after spending so much time previously. We obviously narrowed the search and only had to look where we didn't last time. So many memories in this Park. Thanks FlyingPigSquadron for the walk down memory lane today.
We stopped at the information in Foster on our way to Wilsons Prom and used the chance to do this cache. Thanks.
Tricky spot to look with workers over the road and a lovely old man who stopped for a chat about everything.He said he lives in the house next to the park and has been in Foster since 1934 so he is nearly a local lol TFTC ST
