Tom's Park Albion Park, New South Wales, Australia
By Team Casho on 06-Jun-09. Waypoint GC1TB1X

I remember searching for this cache before, but I don't remember the park.
Today I went out of a geocache hunt with my little brother and decided to give this one another go on the way home.
A quick find, but soe maintenance needed pronto as the log is wet and mouldy.
I had the right pen today that could still leave my mark though.
Thanks for the cache.

A new log is needed and some water proofing. the current one is soggy and mouldy.

Unable to attend to make repairs just now so will free up the area for a new hider.
Thanks for those who have attended this one and who have made repairs for us in the past.

If you find this cache feel free to recycle the container as it has been archived. If you do please log so I know. If no one picks this one up I will do when next in the area

What a lovely park - I helped myself to a strawberry from the garden bed - I hope Tom doesn't mind. The cache is very wet - the log needs to be dried out or replaced. TFTC

Nice park area - look at wrong tree then next one - found it. Thanks.

Found it. Lid slightly ajar and log saturated. Popped in a new piece of paper.

found it about 2mins on the way to a day geocaching with zuidy92

No luck today thanks

Took a while to find!!! Great cache..

I spent ages at the obvious spot searching...Then I enlisted Tom's help and still nothing!

By the way he sends his greetings to Team Casho, as do I Thanks for the hide.

Nice easy find with the help of a geokid

We were a bit early in the morning and i think Tom was still asleep. TFTC TNLN SL

The nearby doggie was trying to put us off, but we beat him (not literally). TFTC

Quick & easy find... With a new GeoMate

Yesterday we came up to Robertson for family celebrations. Today GeoSon NationalSteel and I decided to wander down to Shellharbour, caching as we go.

No Tom around today, so we had to look on our own. Luckily it was a quick and easy find.

TFTC!

Found

Called past this one the other day for a check as we thought it may have been missing and receiving phantom logs. Took us a few minutes to locate as it was not where we placed it. It is slightly off GZ but not worth an update of co ords as it is only a couple of meters. There is not many places to hide a cache here and there is no need to look at the fence as it is not there.
Thanks to the person who has replaced the container for us.
We too got caught by Tom and it was good to catch up again as it has been a couple of years.
Happy hunting for this one. Say hi to Tom and Robyn for us if you get busted. And thanks to Tom for keeping an eye on this one for us.

Tftc, had a bit of outside help! Bit tough to find

2nd time geodad found it

Found on a nice afternoon out driving with the geokids. tftc.

Couldn't see it anywhere

TFTC

Found, needs a check, log appears to be a whole lot of people actually names...

TFTC!

Not where I think it should be... Tftc

Found it with alysha and Emily!

No luck for me here.

Hey i think its been taken by some muggle, waste of time this one. I looked on sat for this one, no luck

St Joeys! Da Boiz! Ah yeah nailed it

I found this geocache using the Geocaching Intro App. TFTC!

Found it with the St Joeys boiz tftc

Couldnt find geocache or tom! Help someone?:)!!!!????

Found the bottom of container then afew steps away found the top. Re-hid container and contacted owner as to new hide to fix if desired... no log

On my way home from Waterfall. I stopped to find this cache but quickly found what I suspect to be a part of a muggled container. I had a quick browse around but decided that it was better to contact the cache owner to confirm if damaged suspect container is this caches hide.

Took a bit of searching, but not too bad

Found on our Wollongong caching holiday. Came here a year or so ago but couldn't find it because we got the street wrong firstly, then once we found the right street there were people at the playground, so the search was declined. This time, there were some oldies in the nearby house looking at us the whole time, but we just had to find this one. Got the cache while they weren't looking and it was quickly signed and replaced by hiding behind the large plants. Very nice park. TFTC TEAM CASHO!

We weren't approached by any neighbours and we certainly didn't need any help. This was a nice easy find in the logical place. Thanks

I have a cache in a park that a neighbour seems to have taken a fancy to - many of the logs mention helpful directions being shouted across the road at them if they take too long to find it . We looked out for the friendly neighbour here, but no one paid any attention to us as we quickly found the cache, signed it, replaced the container & moved away towards the lunch that had been steadily calling for some time.

Thanks

nice neighbours

Quik easy find

Nice quick and easy find on our way home from Moss Vale today. TFTC.

Quick find with snorris. Thanks.

A quick easy find in a very small park. TFTC

Great find, met Tom

So we planed a morning of treasure hunting with the kids, and the first point of call was Tom's Park! Now just a little curious as we know a Tom who lives next to that park..... Anyway, a quick scout around and we found..... NOTHING... nothing but the cries of our child who needed the loo... so off we go, double check to make sure someone found it recently and thought we will come back to it... A few jobs later (and now pre pared with gloves) We found that micro geocache and had too very excited kiddos... Also thank Goodness we knew Tom and which house in which he lived! Thanks team Casho!

Found with my old man, cache claimer. Didn't know this park was even here

Easy find. . With R,W & A

5785 + 613 = 6398. Found during a run down to Shellharbour/Wollongong region.

After DNFing this in April 2010 it was nice to get back here and make the find. Oh so easy this time ! Thanks again TEAM CASHO !

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers....

Quick find for Geokid.... TFTC!

Found this cache at 11:05am while on our way to Wollongong for fathers day with Sc00t. Had tried this one before. Don't know how we missed it. We can cross of our list to do.
Thanks Team Casho for the hide.

Took time for the gps to settle, then a quick find. Thanks

Quick find while someone up the road watched. TFTC

Thought i`d give this one a go on my way home from work to fill in a calendar day, found what was almost certainly GZ but just as I started searching the pooch in a nearby backyard started to bark & the owner came out with a torch to see what was going on.........so I left! Another day maybe, nice park though.
Cheers from CATONY.

Left me wondering .... who was Tom? TFTC

QUICK FIND WITH LIGHT FADING TFTC

Quick find in the rain. Someone watched me leave the park..perhaps it was Tom.

A very quaint little park. There should be more like this in the new developments.
TFTC

nice little park, no sign of tom though.

log is a little wet.

cheers
Heads and Tails

Must have been too quick for Tom. Got in made the find , did duties and back out without a bowpeep. SL..TFTC

The resident muggle in the house next door was looking at us and what we were doing, and when we were finished his comments were: "That was a quick find".

I really dread these caches where people say you might be being watched. Makes me very uncomfortable for some reason! Anyway, I visited here months ago as a newbie with no luck. This time with better geowidget in hand I walked straight to GZ and put my hand on the cache first try. So, very quick visit and hopefully I avoided those prying eyes! TFTC.

Working nearby so couldn't resist.
The only place it could be so in went my hand and out came a cache. Wasn't keen though.

TFTC

Ironbark.

Found with Megwana and luke

Found with blakenk, took a while. Wasn't hidden where I thought it'd be:) good hide!

Found with SESBLOCKER while on a weekend in Kiama. After about 15 minutes, had cache in hand TFTC.

Found with "The Neighbs". Took about 15mins to find. I was a bit paranoid about where I was sticking my fingers but persisted and made the find. TFTC

Kids went on swings, we cached. Thanks

Easy find, replaced wet log with a dry one. Thanks

Found it and log is to wet.Thanks Tom for your help.

TFTC .

A lovely quite park with a lovely quite cache.

The log is saturated but the gel pen still proved it was up to the challenge.

Log wet nice lil park

Thanks For The Cache
Found while out on a Sunday's caching run heading to the Illawarra - South Coast caching event at Wollongong with the geofamily TeamBooo , Booo Booo & Booo's Dad

Thanks to Tom. If it wasn't for him I would have been logging a DNF. Our 250th cache ! SL TFTC

Looking forward to doing a cache check on this one in mid Feb and catching up with Tom. If you see Tom tell him we said Hi
Garry

Scored just as the near-by residents went apricot picking.
No trouble though.

Thanks TEAM CASHO for the cache. Thanks McPhan for the car security.

5060. [font=Century Gothic][green]Neat - this time number 13 is impressive. That's the count so far on previous DNFs found this time around. There's a new fence in since my (our - Zsazsa7 was with us then too) last attempt and this seemed to throw a whole new aspect on the cache and I found it in the first place I looked. I'm not sure we even really looked at the hiding spot last time.

TFTC and the spark.[/green][font=Verdana]

Rated: for Overall Experience

After DNFing this one last year, it ws good to cross it off today. Found with McPhan and ZSA ZSA onour weekend trip to the 'Gong

Thanks for another one Team Casho...

While gps pointed me in the general direction, number (or rather lack) of options for a hide, helped reveal a quick grab. Second of ten finds marking my second anniversary as a cacher.

Nice cache TFTC SL

Great little cache.

Finally, 3rd Attempt . Gotcha. Met Toms brother, had a bit of a chat, and a word of incouragment. TFTC

Found with a little egging on from the friendly neighbour. TFTC.

Felt a bit strange retrieving this one as a neighbour was watching so I pretended the GPS was a phone. TFTC TNLN
