As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been a number of months since the last owner note. I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it. Should you replace the cache after 30 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

There have been too many DNFs so I expect this one has gone. I will visit asap and replace if possible

The GPS pointed me up a slope so up I went, thinking it was definitely a terrain 2... Treacherous footing and the sound the roots made were solid and alive. Many rocks were overturned and a bag was found but no cache.

Not found, lots of evidence of muggles snooping around up to no good. Possibly discovered may need checking

Searched for 1 hour in every nook and cranny and could not find the cache. Call me a skeptic, but is it still there??

Looked at around tree turned around and the "unusual" stone gave it away. Beautiful spot. Gave me the chance to watch some footy.

While on a short holiday from Perth we decided to scout this cache out. A pleasant walk from our hotel this GZ. I am a cricket fan so this was an interesting historic place. The cache was quickly found SL thanks Blossom for bringing us here, on to the next one.

Amazing tree and great cache overlooking the park full of excited children enjoying sport in the sun. TFTC

Pam and I were in Sydney for a wedding and we stayed at the Vibe Hotel in Rushcutters Bay. After checking out of the hotel on Sunday morning, we went for a walk around the area before driving off, and found the caches along the waterfront.
Then we ventured into the wonderful Trumper Park area.
I was delighted to see that the two caches there were placed by blossom*. My caching friend lemmykc and I are great cricket fans and we refer to blossom* as blossom(Not out).
It's a cricket scoring joke. Never mind!
Anyway, loved the connection with Victor Trumper the cricket great.
The cache proved to be an easy find and in excellent condition. Great to find a regular after a string of micros in Katoomba and Sydney.
Thanks for the cache blossom*
(Thought I'd logged this on Sunday night, but it seems not).

When i spotted GZ, i thought no way (spiders) but it was fine, just very noisy crunching the dry leaves. With 3 Earth & 1 virtual to log @ home with photos, this is my 100th find in Australia. Just made it on the eve of heading home!

Nice placement, should be muggle free. I had just gotten off of the train and walked the short walk over here...wow, what a surprise to see this in the middle of an urban area. Left a TB I got from the states.

Quick easy find while exploring this part of the city on my bike. TFTC

With a game of cricket being played on the oval,I wandered up the hill to find the cache. A very nice place for a cache. Thanks blossom.

Wonderful oval! Definitely worth the visit!!! TFTC TNLN.

Pretty quick find by my boyfriend, while I stood back on the path (open shoes + vegetation = millions of mosquito bites otherwise). Awesome fig tree, shame about the debris / smell behind it =(

Nice find in Paddington, beware of the spiders!!

Our second find in Australia

Nice old fig, but the homeless muggle who has discarded their filthy clothes is a bit gross!!! No trackable either!!! TFTC

That is one huge fig! Lovely park thanks for the cache.

TFTC! I think I must have caught some eyes jumping around, going in circles... But finally, I found it!

Hot morning to be walking and caching .. thanks! J-LEST-TEAM

Excellent park, this is a very good surprise not really planned to come here but it was a really good interesting, the neighbourhood is also nice to see. Tftc

Nice area. Had not been thee in a while. Lovely walk on a lovely day. I recommend the other trumper park one as well. Unfortunatley the TB was not there. i hope he'r okay and someone had just forgotten to log it.

#333 What a huge tree! There was a big group having a picnic near where the cache is, but luckily picnic area is not too close to cache hiding spot. I was able to get the cache without much trouble. Thanks for taking me here. TFTC!

What a hidden gem and that is one big morton bay. It looks like a frustrated cacher has left some of their clothes near GZ. Obviously in the excitement of finding GZ. Now do I walk from here to the Pond. Nah.

Can you imagine what Sydney looked like when the first fleet arrived?, something like this I suppose, and it is still here in the middle of Sydney!

Thanks blossom*, fancy this still being here.

Lunchtime expedition - what a surprise to find this nice bit of park so close to the city. An amazing moreton fig! After finding the cache all thanks to the hint and none to the wobbly GPS, I ventured down the path to the other near the pond but muggles prevented another find. TFTC!

Excelent Hide. TFTC TNLN

GOOD CACHE, TFTF

Last time here was in August of 2010. Didn't find it then but today, in just a couple minutes the cache was found. Dropped off Hawaiian Monkey TB that I picked up last week in Maui, Hawaii, took home to Arizona, and brought here to Australia. SL TFTC.

Nice little cache in a nice little park in a nice little suburb in a ........ TFTC TNLN

Another awesome cache with aniisawesome on my birthday caching extravaganza hunt!

TFTC TNLN

Nice cache!

Fairly easy find!\

Thanks to my parents for taking us round!!

Loved the park, I am constantly amazed by the small parks and hideaways in sydney that I would not have found or visited unless I was involved in caching
TFTC

Great tree! So much rubbish around it though. Tftc

The second of 22 today. I decided walk from the city to Watson's bay, walking around the bays on the way. A longer walk than I anticipated, so walked the return leg via Bondi.

A bit of rubbish in the area, and someone definately knows the "treasure" is there. The tree had writing all over it and roots had arrows on them leading me to GZ. It looked like chalk so it may well have washed off by now. I'll up load a photo of it.

(NOTE: The photos contain the same information as the hint, i.e. a spolier)

TFTC brilliant tree

#107. Easy find as there were chalk directions all the way to the cache. Lovely tree and great playground for the kids just down from the cache. Tftc. Cheers.

Amazing tree. Noticed lots of clothes around (sombody's night abode perhaps?). No TB in cache though. Thanks.

Since I was in the area walking from Edgecliff station back to Central while checking various trig points, I thought I had better find this cache before the CO strangled me next time we meet!
An easy find, right in the first spot I looked in. Mind you this little park is very attractive, I never even knew it was there.
Signed log, took nothing but left Olympic pin, Yowie and signature Pathtag.
Thanks blossom* for the nice little walk, loved this park.

Very easy to find and the cache is still there - there are giant directions in chalk all the way to the cache though....muggled?

Am about to go on holiday Noticed my traveling companion (Roadrunner) from US was still in the area so decided to kidnap him for a short holiday. Nice hide, BTW

found it without too much difficulties
i left RoadRunner
thanks

TFTC ROBBIE IS AWSOME

Found it simply and quickly TFTC!

Reperio at 1345. Lovely big park, and plenty going on today as well. Luckily the cache was out of sight of the muggles wandering by, and signed the log as I looked in awe at the marvelous fig tree.

Gratias.

Cache found, easy one.
TNLNSL
Cheers,
Speedyhorse8

Quick cache after work before next meeting. With the hint easy to find, even when it is dark!

Love these trees! Except when they have caches hidden in their roots! So I was lucky today, it wasn't there! Nice park too! Thanks!

TFTC

Neat park to walk through!

TB Drop

After completing Trumper Park Pond, I wandered down towards this cache. As I passed the tow elderly ladies from the last cache I arrived at the magnificent tree. Standing around once more to admire the sight of it, I waited until they had passed and raced in for a find. As I approached GZ, I was getting worried as I found the cache note on the ground. Luckily enough the cache is still there, although it looks as if someone sleeps very close to it. I grabbed the geo coin from the cache, but left the travel bug as it wants to go to a cache in Sydney, and I am off interstate tomorrow.

Thanks for showing me this awesome tree blossom*, and thanks for the cache too


Cheers

Thanks for the cache!

Lucky coin pick up. Will help it on it's way.

Black Bunny is in town for work this week so after work it was off to find a cache after the days work. So it was good to be able to grab a Blossom* cache in its natural environment. After dodging the muggles around the park it was a short detour to GZ and an easy grab of the cache.

Thanks for the cache Blossom*

A quick grab with Black Bunny after work today. The GPS was a bit jumpy this afternoon but after giving the units some time to get used to the crisp clear air of Sydney (wait, wrong city...) the cache was quickly found.

Thanks for the cache Blossom*

TB drop

Rainy afternoon, no one about. Found this before wandering over to the SFS for the ANZAC Day footy. Lovely park, never been there before. TFTC Blossom

Took a few unorthodox routes to find this park but got there in the end. A lot of odd discarded clothing around GZ, not sure exactly what that means but I have my theories. TFTC.

this one is really close to home, so it was about time I crossed it off.
Semikosher had it in hand pretty quick after I called out the hint.
Dropped off Seabees coin.

Nice quick find while just avoiding the interested looks from the muggles.

TNLNSL. TFTC.

Awesome tree awesome walk! Thanks for the hide; I took a TB

Haha the clothes are still there but couldn't find the cache. Gave up due to numerous bites from various insects. Off to the chemist for some antihistamines I think!

This was the second of two on my pre-meeting walk this morning through this glorious bit of parkland. At least it was on the way back 'home' now but as time was short, I had another quick look at the hint and soon had the stash in hand at 07:20. What a fantastic old Moreton Bay Fig tree .

TNLNSL. Thanks again blossom*.

PS: There was no sign of the Kama Bear or OORAH!! Marine Corps!! TBs in there!

Easy find.
Thanks for showing me this nice park!

Another great spot for a cache. How old must that Morten Bay Fig tree be? I just loved this little area - even if it did start to rain again. Thanks, TN L calling card.

There are some magnificent trees in this park
TFTC.

Lovely walk on last day out here before returning to Uk
TFTC

Today's programme was so tight that I barely had time for a couple of caches This park was quite empty (something a geocacher always respects in such a big city ) and I enjoyed a stroll there. TB in, 2xTB out. TFTC!

Would one of you kind caches please pick up and move along my sons TB "Alex’s Weird thingy-me -bob". It arrived in this great country a while back but hasn’t seen much of it as its been in these bushes with a pile of clothes. Regards from London

Easy find. The pile of clothes is still there!

Found this one. We really need to clean up all the clothes thrown everywhere. Battery ran out on way to the pond! D'oh

Found by the boys while Kim was in the park. Nice day for caching while in Sydney for the day.
TNLN 2x travelers all ok

Went through the tree first and then read the clue Thanks from Sweden.

A nice spot, pity about the rubbish. TFTC

Easy find, but we had to duck down while a muggle walked past. The site was strewn with clothes and rubbish. Great oval with some nice cricket history. TFTC

This was part of my afternoon walk to find the pair of Trumper Park caches. This is a lovely area for walking around and has some beautiful trees. I did as suggested and took the high path and found the "pond" cache first, sat and enjoyed the peace and quiet of the woods sorry brush. Then walked around and aback to find this cache. What amazing size the trees are and now I have learnt the name of them. many thanks for leading me to a lovely afternoons walk.

This ended a run of DNFs for me and so was very welcome. I love these urban parks in Sydney when, suddenly, you're in the middle of the jungle! Wonderful,huge old Moreton Bay Fig tree. A worrying collection of womens' clothing and an empty handbag around GZ. Dropped off a couple of TBs. Didn't pick up bear as he doesn't want to go back to the UK. Thanks for bringing me to Trumper park- appropriately the day after Australia were all out for 98 in the test??!

Found it!

A nice easy find, TFTC.

Nice easy find

Thanks for bringing me to this beautiful part of Sydney - dropped off Henry the Bear to enjoy the surroundings. TFTC!

Thanks for the cache

Find # 1614 @ 09:30
I followed the path from Trumper Park Pond. A nice park and walk. Phew, she's a biggun! Must get plenty of rain. Found the cache after peeking at the clue. Thanks for the cache and for bringing me here. TNLNSL

This was the first of my five Paddington area caches today, and certainly not the hardest one. I found the site easily and was only sorry there was no cricket being played on the day to celebrate 'the Bradman before Bradman.'

For some reason, my GPSr didn't want to 'zero in' on the exact GZ but the CO's excellent clue made this problem insignificant. A mother and child wandered by, holding me up for a minute or two, but then I pounced on the little cache container and brought it 'down' for inspection and the logging formalities.

Cache container was in good shape and the contents of the cache were nice and dry. TNLNSL.

Many thanks to blossom* for this one. I enjoyed Trumper Park, having never visited it before . . .

Nice second find for the day. Great trees in the middle of the city.

13:10 Uhr
I had a long walk today. It was a walk about 20 km. This cache was my 3rd today. It´s a really nice park. Thanks for showing.
TFTC, SchwesterN01

Nice park. TFTC

Another one for me today from Blossom,,, same great park! loved the views

TFTC

That is one very impressive tree! What a magnificent specimen. Great to see what a good park this has become too. I found the cache very easily with the help of the hint. Thanks blossom.

Too many council muggles when I first went past the GZ.

I returned after finding the 'pond' cache and the area was muggle free.

TFTC.

While signing the log one of those pesky cache dwelling lizards scurried on in.

Thanks. Great location and wonderful insight into local Paddington history.

Was quite today around GZ and located the stash quickly. The big fig tree must have plenty of history to it. Many thanks to blossom for the good cache.

Made the grab with Den Deigo. He's new to caching and maybe will try it. TFTC.

my first find with stringfam TFTC

easy find around the broken glass

After a short walk from the pond, found this one easily!
TFTC Wilbert67

Oh my!!! I searched and searched every nook and cranny of the cache site. Looks like two people had a rather
personal party on the backside of the site. Perhaps they moved the cache - or, perhaps I kept looking back at
what they left behind and just missed finding what I was looking for. Gave up and moved onto the pond.

Continued on after Trumper Park Pond..
Great cache once we navigated around in the dark..!

Thanks!

Found after visiting the pond. Amazing tree! tftc!
