I was hoping that this area had been finished by now, but it seems the local council are still doing upgrades to the Park. I will disable the cache so others may use the area for caches.
This area is being developed so adding a new cache would be too risky. So I am archiving this cache so others can use the area if they so wish.. HAPPY CACHING!
I will disable the listing until I can go check it out myself, I have another container here ready to go, so may opt to use that to replace. I will get back in a couple of days.
AS with previous log which i have just seen, i could not find and a lot of trees have been cut down or removed.
The park is being re landscaped and I think the cache may have been disposed of. Maybe the cacher who placed could check.
Found empty cache container. We have replaced the log book and pencil. We had almost given up but spotted it as we walked out. Cheers and thanks
Indeed it was easy, Monday morning, no-one in the playground, neighbours all shopping or somesuch. My GPS was giving me grief, but eventually it led me right to GZ. Nice tidy hide. All in good order.
A quick find after a Friday evening orienteering run nearby.
Thanks for the cache Storm Chasers.

A nice quick drive-by while passing through the area. No muggles about on the playground so no problems locating this one. SL. TFTC.
Went off in search of food while a family played on the playground, returned and found the cache. TNLN.
Took a little while to find, esp after waiting for the muggles to leave TNLN TFTC
What a great little quite playground area! great place to hide a cache, nice and easy
TNLNSL TFTC found a little earwig in it, lol !

We did this cache on our evening walk. A family of muggles at the park on our way out so went & did another one nearby first and came back later when luckily we were alone. Found cache easily then. We saw the black bunny hopping around too! TFTC
Quick find in a nice little park, muggle free but we did enjoy the antics of a small black bunny TNLN TFTC
Like other logs this one had us looking for quite a while! Then, just as we were about to go we moved something in the right spot and there it was. TFTC
fifth visit and getting peeved! Finally though the kick of disdain sounded weird! TFTC Storm Chasers
Found with FPN. This is No 494, leading up to 500 for today's event (Lets Meet and Greet - Trunksnsuch). A nice unobvious hide. TN, left roo. TFTC.
This was to be one of four to find while geo-wife was at a meeting in the vicinity, but couldn't find it. Coming from the other side of the city it's good to visit places one would never see. That's what geocaching does.
This one took me little while to find... Nuvi was directing me all over the place. Finally I found what I was looking for, much to the disgust of Nowhere2Bseen. Mwahahahahaha! We were at 3 finds each after this one....
Nice little park, and great hding place! TFTC

Damn Damn Damn, I had my foot on the rotten cache... MissyLJ found it once I had walked away from it. What is it that they say about female intuition?
Found in the pouring rain with Flipper and Co. Well... the MRS of both teams sat in the car whilst the MR 's.. had to get out and get it!

I found the cache sitting on top of the bark at GZ... Not sure whether it has been discoverred and left there or whether some wildlife has been having fun...
So, I signed the log and placed it in a hidey hole. No idea whether it's in the intended GZ but it's tucked away anyway... [^]

Was also excited to find a bottle of champagne but would have preferred to find the cache.
Had a good look around but to no avail! Geoson did find a half buried bottle of Champagne though!
** Coordinates Changed From **
S 34° 50.403 E 138° 41.527
Distance From Old: 11.9 feet or 3.6 meters
Due to the possibility of the nearby tree being removed, I moved the Cache about 3m West of it's current location. A little more obvious spot but should be out of harms way.. Coordinates have now been changed.

just a note to let you know a very close by tree is going to be cut down soon, presuming so due to the big orange ring around it. so cache will more that likley be uncovered or damaged.
Found at 20.30. Decent light from the huge lamp shining on the park. Though had to tread carefully to avoid noise. Tftc tnln

A great little park for the little ones, almost gave up when I saw a square hole in the ground, thinking it had been muggled. Rechecked with the GPS and discovered it in another area. Almost got caught by a family playing in the playground.

A quick stop after lunch the rain had stopped and the skys had cleared and time for some more Geocaching. Found after a short search nice hide. TFTC
Jumped out the car and had the cache a few seconds later.... Nice easy find... Thanks Storm Chasers for the cache....
Took our Geograndkids, down from N.T. for xmas holidays, for a drive to show them all about Geocaching. They loved it and wanted to keep going but luckily it got dark. T.F.T.C.
a very quick one after a day of miss leading readings on my garmin! tnln tftc
We liked this little park [^] and it would have been even more pleasant if it wasn't quite so HOT [xx(]!
GPS took awhile to settle, then we found the cache.

Thanks Storm Chasers.

Nice cache - though not quite a sensation
Ne'ertheless, it gave some inspiration
The insight it came
Not from cache, but the name
It at least narrowed down my location

This one is in a familiar neighbourhood. Drove past numerous times only to find little muggles enjoying themselves. Had to wait for thunder and threatening rain for the coast to be clear.

Found late at night with Team Swampy, There are lots of trees there but found cache under a bark not really under the tree
Thanks Storm chasers
Thanks Storm chasers
Took a few minutes for the GPSr to settle down, but then found quite easily. TFTC.
Despite the presence of muggles on the playground we snuck in and grabbed this quickly- Helped by the fact that it was out in the open [:p]. SL
Pa Kettle used to visit this park quite regularly as a kid although it has changed quite a bit over the years.
He can remember having big neighbourhood bonfires across the road on Guy Fawkes nights.
The Kettle Kids found the cache reasonably quickly without the use of a GPS whilst visiting Nana nearby.

This one took along time to do kept on getting muggles around finally a day when none were around!
Nice and easy for our geograndson to look for. Enjoy these ones near playgrounds for geograndkids.TNLNSL. Thanks.
Another nice park area also lovely garden. SL. Thanks Storm Chasers for organising the cache and hunt.
The class of kids Freddo referred to were doing monos on the road. I hung fowl for a while and made the phone call required. Maybe they though I was an emergency services type. I could have screwed in my Codan HF aerial if required. That always gets peoples attention.
No need. They scattered when I got out of the car.
Coast clear.
Cache found in 1 second.
I was outathere.
AM. Quickly found the cache. Logged cache on table. Then a class of kids arrived for play.
PM. Replaced the cache with no-one in sight.
