A fine evening for a walkabout. Although a few muggles in the park, no one near the cache. I put my hand on it in the first spot I checked. Just managed to mark my mark in the log roll. TFTC, Biggles.
Picked what I thought would be a quiet time in this park but no. The local school had just finished their Friday arvo sport and were sort of packing up and were conveniently spread out all over the exercise equipment. "Do you want to use the fitness stuff?" the teacher asks. "Yes." "We'll just be 5 minutes."
45 minutes later the last bugger of a kid finally gave in to the teacher's pleas and gathered his junk and picked up the rubbish he'd thrown around and they were off. The teacher was furious and didn't even say sorry to me for the delay. Grrr
Glad I don't have that job.
Luckily I found the cache in the first place I looked. Why hadn't I checked there better last time I was here? Had a bit of trouble opening the container but finally got it, SL & returned cache.
Now only room for 2 more logs.
TFTC - now I know I have more patience than I thought!

Decided to collect this one after grabbing "The Third Doctor" nearby.
Nice park. Had to dodge some muggles near GZ, but otherwise a nice easy find. Co-ords were spot on...
TNLN TFTC!
BTW The log is nearly full, maybe room for three more entries...

My second attempt at this one and today I found it while the girls were warning up for their soccer game.
Geokid found this one. Lots of people around but it was no problem to retrieve the cache. TFC.
7/07/13. 9:25 AM. Cache #732. Current streak: 301 days. Found on my 2nd attempt, up in an angle. I can see how easy it was to miss last time, and I can see why it probably keeps getting knocked down to the ground, too. TFTC }:)
Finally found this attempt after many others. Had fallen from hiding spot but now back where it belongs

It does need some TLC but that tape mentioned before seems to be doing the job, but for how long? TFTC, it is a good one, this was my third trip to search and the task was a bit (a lot) easier this time.
The cache needs to be replaced in its intended location by the cache owner - I tried my best to hide it, but it just wouldnt stay there I dont expect it to get muggled anytime soon due to the size of the cache, however it is very exposed and should be fixed up immediately.
Geoscoutdan and I arrived at GZ and found the cache out in the open - we tried our best to replace the cache in the spot we thought it was meant to be, but it was very difficult as it just wouldnt stay there! However, it was a nice area for a hide, and thankfully no muggles around TFTC
Cache had fallen out of hiding spot when I arrived so I returned it to its original place although had some difficulties. TFTC
The cache was very much out in the open today so a relatively easy find. It was a dilemma working out where to put it back as I am sure where I found it is not its usual hidey hole. I found a bit of tape near GZ and did a 'MacGuyver' to conceal it again. Signed log. TFTC!
The cache was very exposed when I discovered it today. I found some used tape near GZ and have concealed it again (but probably not in its original location) but I am not sure how long this fix will last.
This consistently shows up as my closest to work, but it's too far to walk at lunch and I rarely have time to detour. Today gave me an opportunity but unluckily couldn't find it. Considered the previous find log and figured it must now be on something rather than under, but a reasonable 5 minute look came up blank. Unfortunately it was school exit time and the kids with parents in tow soon arrived to take over the equipment so I had to give it away. Another time maybe. Thanks GSPVX.
Running early for work decided to do a cache whilst in the area to get my daily fix. Was a little concerned about the last few logs on approach but went for a look any way. I must have taken the the right exercise as I found it as per the clue about 8mts from 0 . The magnet is no longer so found on the ground. Have placed in an appropriate spot but no need to be a contortionist to find. TFTC

25/04/13. 7:45 AM. A reasonably muggle-free park at this time - a couple of puppy trainers throwing balls with a pawed posse, but I had the gz part of the park to myself. Looked and felt amongst several angles but no joy. Wonder if it's still here?
Didnt know there was a outdoor gym here. Spent a good 15 mins doing some exercises after the find. Log has room for about two more entries before it will need replacing FYI.

My GPSr wanted me to look at the wrong angle, but it wasn't hard to find. Not a soul around, so I could get into all the usual strange geocaching postures without any worries. TFTC!
It took us a little while to locate this. But after some weird looking stretches, we finally scared off Mr Muscles who was looking at us strangely. The hint helped because our GPS had us quite a few meters away. Nice park SL TFTC Cheers... Gaztek
No Tai Chi but plenty of exercising muffles had to wait until they started doing laps. Nice cache, TFTC
Second time. Too many muggles last time and a few today, but they were all preoccupied. Took a while, but a systematic sweep paid off.
Needing a find for the day so being in the area we took a little detour and arrived at an empty park probably due to the heat. Reading the last two logs we were some what concerned but still had a look. We saw two items that the hint could apply to and began the detailed search. We found it but to took way too long for this hind. We completed the signing duties and re hid. TFTC
No one around. Had a very good look but couldn't find the cache.
If its a nano its magnetic and I wonder if its been knocked off and is rolling around in the scrub which would make it impossible to find.

Found by Nanny and Bo early on an overcast Saturday afternoon.

3rd find for the day with the kids in the sun. Enjoy your streches in the equipment provided!
I found this one after the Phone-A-Friend suggested I look about 8 metres from my GZ.

Second signing of the new log! Thought I'd felt all the possible locations, but had to use eyeballs to eventually locate this little sucker.
This cache has long been at the edge of my radius about 12km from home. The name intrigued me. Today I was there and the ground was wet but no rain. All quiet which was good. I looked where the pointer said and found nothing. I looked more in line with the clue and then checked the logs which put me about 9 metres from GZ where I made the find. Scrawled in a tiny spot but the log needs replacing. The only one I had was too big for this style of cache.
Thanks!
Thanks!
At this park for my son's soccer match. Lots of muggles but had my little geodaughter to act as decoy. Nobody looks twice at a 6 year old playing on exercise equipment! Got the lowdown from the hint but still tricky. Black against black is hard to make out. Managed to squeeze my initials in over the top of someone else's. Log is really full. TFTC.
Found one this size a few weeks ago so had an idea where to look and thought about the hint. This is not in the bush. I would love to see more of these little exersize set ups in parks around the place. There is no room on the log so took a photo. TFTC TFTH
Great little area for exercising...our geodaughter was having fun trying to work out what each station was for....we found this one about 10 meters out, just widened our search & quickly had CIH....log is now completely full...T4TC
This is an excellent park with good exercise equipment, so with some bending and crouching I found it. Log is full managed to write my initials, thanks.
Gotta love these small devils.

Able to locate with help of clues and photo so I knew how small it was! Thanks good cache
Today's rain meant I had the place to myself. But it also meant I was getting wetter and wetter. I'd tried everywhere that fitted the hint where the GPS wanted to be and was about to leave when I checked one more spot a bit further away. Yay, another DNF narrowly avoided.
Time for a new log for this one. TFTC

Still working out how to use the new GPSr, found after checking out a few other places. Had the whole area undisturbed all the while. TFTC
Stopped by to have a look after finding the nearby "Lead Hand, Hook Out" cache, but the oval was moderately busy (too many people to avoid, not enough people to blend in with etc), so I abandoned the search for today. Will have to come back to look another time
Gotcha !!! Great views but when I lived in East Roseville in the 1950's this was all bush. TFTC

One last quickie before getting back to work. I parked and walked to where I thought GZ would be. I started searching amoungst the trees and ground, before I realised I was on the wrong side of the fence.
Walked back around and then searched my search again. A muggle and her dog came past, and then I checked another spot and felt the cache. 'BAM, and the cache is mine (c)' SL and replaced again. I have signed the log in the second last spot, so it's almost ready to be replaced. Nice area here, TFTC.

Reperio at 1700. Had time to stop off for a couple of caches before heading home, so called past here to see what we could find. Arrived at GZ to find not only a horde of muggles about, as there were two soccer matches going on simultaneously, but there were about 10 muggles camped right on top of the cache. Just as I was thinking about leaving, the ref blew the whistle to end the game. Decided to wait around, and eventually after 10 mins, the coast was clear...then came finding the cache. Had a good idea where to find, and luckily it didn't take too long to make the find.

Needs a new log sheet.space for a few more names only. Sorry didn't have one with me.
Our second Nano found - these are great fun for the kids. They had a good workout while searching. Fourth find of six today.
Cache find #1,500 for me here today, and the angle hint did make sense even before we found it! Thanks GSPVX.
This one took a bit longer than it should , missed it first time but a re canvas eventually got there. The GPS also wanted us to search the bushland !!! nut mo need !!!!

third time for this one how did i miss it the other two times good to have this cache in the bag tftc
Took a little time to find this one. There were no muggles here today so I had time to explore all angles both over and under, and then there it was in my hand. Not too sure how the clue helped, still scratching my head. Anyway this is another one to tick off the list in the area. Thanks
Still cannot find after 3 attempts. First 2 were centred on bush as per co-ordinates. This time I checked the equipment, with no better result.
After an unsuccessful search in the adjacent bush (where the GPS suggested looking), geomum succeeded in finding this tiny treasure.

That's the smallest cache I have found to date! Well hidden, but the clue was very helpful. TFTC.
[We give up! This is the fourth time we visited this place and we looked everywhere. The people playing cricket over there must think we are crazy.] We checked all the equipment but didn't find anything.
Never seen one of these little buggers before... It is MINISCULE!!!! Amazed myself that i managed to find it at all!! Certainly didn't T or L anything, but i DID SL!! TfTc ..
Mmmmmm. Our first search ever and we didn't find it. We'll go back tomorrow morning to give it a second chance.
Found with out a GPS, but it took 3 visits. First visit, I knew there was a cache in the park, but when I pulled out my GPS the locations were not loaded. I remembered the clue, so spent a while looking around the park for places where a you would hide a cache bigger than a micro. As you can imagine there are quite a few. I even found a area where kids had made into their own cubby house complete with old gates around the edges. I even looked in the spot where the cache was hidden. When back to work and found I should have been looking for a nano I knew where it would be. Second visit last Friday avo had I could not get near due to muggles. Today I found it nearly straight away, signed log which is half full and tried the equipment out.
939 - 11 for today. Found on 15/01/11 1:44 PM
Took some time to locate this little bugger. Lucky no one was using the equipment. TNSLLN

This is a funny place where we tried out everything before searching the cache. Thank you! #1002
Ok... I wasn't expecting it to be that small! Nice little hide! I think the other two locations where much easier! I logged the finders who had forgotten a pen.

Quick find once we checked the updated log details (normally go off my partner's GPS but it did not have the updated cache info). Unable to sign...I keep forgetting to bring a pen.
Third time looking, and I still havnt found it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can someone please send me a hint. I have searched everywhere. Not sure what side of the fence it is on.
Please help!

This cache has been muggled again...
Went to drop off a TB this afternoon to find the cache contents spread out over the rock.
Will look for another home and replace it soon.

Needed long arms to get to this one, nicely hidden. Oval empty except for one jogger. Took Peace TB to drop off later today. TFTC
Yay! First to find the new replaced cache!
Seeing as though i reported it missing, i set a goal to be the first to find when replaced.
Took Firetruck, left Peace on Earth

As the previous cache was muggled, we have moved it and updated the co-ordinates.
Dropped in the noisy Flash the Fire Truck TB
Happy hunting!

It was my RDO so I thought I'd combine geocaching with going to the beach. What a fun day. I made the find fairly quickly. The more I find the better I seem to be getting at this. TFTC
Hi my name is Liam and I live locally in Castle Cove. I regularly visit your cache Hungarian Holly to check on it. I visited it this morning and it has gone! The rocks have all been removed.
