I think I have the right spot but the area is in use. I'll try again some time. Thank for the walk.
 
11-Mar-14
TB visit. As a previous finder not sure if the replacement is still there. Had a look around previous spot. Will return with more tools.

Another crowd on a sunny Father's Day, nice cache.
 
16-Jul-13
Out for the night getting a few caches....or so I had thought Sad
In the end I stopped at 14 caches and only found 9 Smile so that meant 5 DNFs Sad
Not a good locus cache night after all! Red Face
Seemed I spent more time doing maintenance than finding caches!

Having been here before with a previous finder who could not find it again, I replaed the cache with a tiny, tiny nano sized plastic container!
Good luck, it is tiny and won't be Walk in the Park to find Wink

Had a good scout around the area. Sadly, a DNF for me.
 
15-Jun-13
Came here with another cachet who had not found this one. Can confirm it certainly isn't where I found it Sad
 
15-Jun-13
After attending GPS' Help Us Celebrate 1,000 event, RideTheGeoWalrus and I decided to get a few caches...only a few Wink
The run finally finished at about 4am after we visited 22 caches for 17 Smile smileys and, sadly, 5 DNFs Sad
Our second DNF Sad
My co cacher had previously found this one so it was a shock when it wasn't easily locatable in the position he had found it. Surprised
With no logs since December, it might be worth checking to see if it is still there and we just missed it.

Attempted this in the dark to find a bunch of kid running around, but was able to visit the Wp's and GZ with out any attention. At GZ it was a bit of a hunt to find... but we got there in the end..

Defiantly would of been a walk in the park in the day light Very Happy

Thanks for the cache ACME Caching Very Happy
 
31-Dec-12
The park was going off tonight with a party close by, but we were able to gather the information required without catching anyone attention Smile TFTC
 
28-Dec-12
A nice quick little multi. Thanks for bringing us here.
 
24-Dec-12
Yes !! I enjoyed my walk in the park looking for the cache Smile
Normally I would ride around the park, but in Adelaide you have to allow for the prickle factor.
An interesting stroll on a sunny day and the cache was found without bother Big Grin
 
08-Dec-12
Another one on the list of nearby unfound caches marked off! Quick find in the end, though had to be a little stealthy as there were a number of muggles in the park, and a few very close to WP2! TFTC ACME Caching!

I have spent many hours nearby, but never been to this park. I used to play lawn bowls for Croydon... Ssh don't tell everyone...
Anyhow a great multi, we had lots of company as all the locals wanted to chat to us as we walked around.
Thanks

An evening of caching with Mogni and Brisal5 led us to this lovely multi. The children playing in this park while we were there were very friendly, felt strange. I am sure the parents where watching them from the nearby houses. L 1 x TB TFTC
 
22-Nov-12
After taking blinky to Uni exams at Wayville again Mogni and I joined Muff1 for some caching fun. Nice little stroll around this park where the younger residents are still friendly towards strangers. Must be used to cachers. Cache was located in the open. Seems to not be a problem in this neighbourhood but we gave it a bit of camo before leaving. Thanks ACME Cching. Beep Beep. Big Grin
 
22-Oct-12
Yah. Our second multi. Will certainly be checking out some more. Gave it a bit of love as a bit of condensation inside and closed it extra tight. Thanks for the cache and the inspiration.
 
18-Oct-12
Nice little park.
Thanks for the walk.

Thanks

Nice to have a multi all in the same area rather than way apart. TFTC
 
24-Aug-12
Sensible easy multi, although got a bit confused when i got sent back to the start point when i relaised i picked the wrong waypoint. Once at gz could spot the cache from a few meters away so tried to cover it a little better when replaced. TFTC Smile
 
22-Aug-12
An enjoyable little multi done with AussieM&M. Thanks ACME caching for the hide!!
 
22-Aug-12
A nice walk in the park, an easy and well described 3 part multi. Thanks ACME Caching. Very good multi.
 
12-Aug-12
Took a while then things started looking up
 
27-Jul-12
A nice quick multi in a lovely park Mr Tardis hasn't visited before. We must return with Toddler Tardis, he'll love it.

Signed the log. Thanks for the local history and multi-cache ACME_Caching.
 
20-Jul-12
Was at the Fire Training College nearby doing a course and grabbed a few caches on the way home.

Quick find and sign. TFTC. Big Grin
 
13-Jun-12
Quick find out and about ... co-ords were spot on!

Started this cache during a lunch break many months ago. At that time the final GZ was pointing out the park so gave up and went back to work.

This time the calculations were spot on and the cache was in hand minutes later.

A lovely park but very quiet today.

Thanks ACME
 
22-Mar-12
We've driven past here loads of times, but today we had time to stop. A quick multi done by geomum as the geokids played and geogirl helped me with the find!

Found on way home from work,TFTC

A beautiful peaceful park this evening! TFTC and the nice walk. I found the final co-ords to be spot on despite the earlier comment. I did count a number as a word though.

TFTC Very Happy
 
28-Nov-11
Have driven past several times and found the park full of muggles, not so today all quiet making a easy run and then a quick find on GZ TFTC
 
17-Nov-11
A great multi, with the cache being easliy found. The park was busy at 7:30 this morning with kids in the playground, council workers and muggles and their dogs. Everybody was doing their own thing and left me in peace.

Thanks for the cache ACME Caching.
 
14-Nov-11
Another interesting little park I would not have stopped at without a reason.

Went to the nearest obvious place to the WP2 co-ords with no success. After skimming the log files, a process of elimination began with eventual success, roughly 20M from the WP2 co-ords.
 
12-Nov-11
Found it on a nice geocaching Saturday for the olive stones
 
22-Oct-11
Big Grin A multi we loved. Loads of fun in the park. Put in a snail magnet but no swap, signed book.
 
05-Oct-11
First in new log!

As I use Google Earth instead of actual GPS device, I visited this park three times to go through those three steps.

TFTC, ACME Caching.

BTW: be aware of beetles...
 
29-Aug-11
Replaced the cache container with something a little larger.
Still a small clip lock container but now has a brand new log book and room for small swaps.
The cache was downsized a while ago due to being muggled.
I hope this one survives.
 
02-Aug-11
this was a walk in the park when we were out on a night run
 
31-Jul-11
Found It!
It was in the first place I looked but I didn't see it the first time I looked and checked every other tree before looking a bit closer...

The sun came out for our little walk around the park. Pity the little Lorikeet at the final hide wasnt in any condition to enjoy the sunshine.

Really enjoyed this Multi
First Multi I have ever done by myself, alone and I liked that the maths was easy - thank you!
Very pretty area, as I was wandering around, the Black Swallows were darting all around me and circling between me and the trees. Lovely!
 
07-Apr-11
I took a walk in the park - although funnily enough from where I entered I hit wp2 first!
TFTC
 
31-Mar-11
Quite a nice short multi. I botched the figures at WP2 but easily recognised an error and made the correction. Took a while to find the cache itself, being smaller than anticipated. Lucky I could reach. TFTC
 
29-Mar-11
Found while on a trip to Adelaide. TFTC.
 
22-Mar-11
Found with Norfbiartch, very nice walk in the park TFTC
 
06-Mar-11
Parked to find a father and daughter studying the plaque at GZ and making notes, so we were pretty sure we weren't about to be muggled out of this one. Nice to meet some newbies and help out a bit with problems getting subsequent stages of a multi into an iPhone (something we know is possible but we've never actually tried it ourselves!). Nice to meet you Abbbsbob (I think we've got the right number of b's in there!).
Nice little walk around the park but the final container was a little smaller than we were expecting from the listing!
 
05-Mar-11
Found with the help of two very experienced geo-cachers who showed up just after we did. This was our first multi-cache and we had trouble getting the second and third set of coords to work on the iPhone. We ended up following the experienced ones with a proper GPS.
 
09-Feb-11
Good one and no one around today. thanks ACME_Caching
 
27-Dec-10
Found with Kay. I tried this one after Easter, but the container was missing. Today, we just walked right up to the final and 'Voila!'.
 
08-Dec-10
Had fun finding this cache tonight. TFTC
 
08-Dec-10
Great fun on a cool summer evening. TFTC
 
15-Nov-10
I have been meaning to do this one all year but it took until this
afternoon to actually gt out and do it.
Some kids in the payground but I didn't need to go there and after a couple of WP's I arrived
at GZ and put my hand on the cache very quickly.
Thanks
 
13-Nov-10
The geomutt enjoyed the stroll in the park although he thought it was all too short. We hadn't read back through the older logs so didn't realise we were actually looking for a micro, not a small so took slightly longer than it should have but found in the end.

TFTC
 
27-Aug-10
The cache was there this time, but unfortunately it is saturated - the logbook was soggy, and the ziplock bag was just keeping the water in. These containers are definitely not waterproof.
I managed to make a smudgy entry with my stamp, but the cache really needs some time to dry out.

Thanks ACME_Caching
 
25-Aug-10
nice park.good clues .TFTC
 
15-Aug-10
Have been here before to do the calculations but the cache was offline, and of course I didn't find it back then! Today was different - found it in the first spot I looked. Thanks for the cache, and a nice walk in the park!
 
14-Aug-10
Cold wet windy, therefore no kids at the playground, took advantage to clean up some playground related caches but once I started realized I could have done this one any time. TFTCSL nice park cheers
 
07-Aug-10
A quick find on its first day back in action.

Lucky for me I had it done when I did as there was an influx of dogs and owners just as I was ready to leave.

TFTC
 
05-Aug-10
Cache has been replaced.
The container size has been reduced to minimise the muggleability.
Please rehide this one well so we don't lose it again.
Cheers and happy caching.
 
12-Jul-10
Stopped in to check this one after it's first DNF and found the cache gone.
Will hope to have it back up soon, possibly in a slightly better (muggle proof) spot.
Cheers and happy caching.
 
06-Jul-10
Visited the park under cover of darkness and collected the clues. Double checked the "of"s and there seemed to be the right number, but then I wondered whether to round K up or down. Rounding up gave the best answer, and led me to a likely looking spot... but no cache in residence. Maybe it's just a case of just night cache blindness.

A great little hunt with great clues - recommended! The GeoKid was most proud of her find!

Took the trackable frog to find some more flies and a new home.

A simple enough multi, although I must have missed an of, as my first GZ was off somewhere down the street,
TNLN (was in a bit of a hurry)
Thanks
 
01-Feb-10
Stopped in to check the condition of the hide and drop/squeeze in a TB I found on the weekend.
Cache exactly where it should be and in good cammo.
 
23-Jan-10
Enjoyed our walk around the park on a quiet morning Cool.
Had to wait out the dog walker, but the cache was quickly found.
Took car. Left grub. SL.
Thanks for another one Tony Agogo Smile.
 
06-Jan-10
Lovely park area... The dogs enjoyed their run around the park... Nice easy found it. SL. Thanks tony_agogo for organising the cache and hunt.

This definitely was a 'walk in the park'
Thanks again, HQ
 
29-Dec-09
Team Gorecki's first multi............we walked past the last to find this one we think during the day on our way to another cache. We are only just begining to appreciate the magnitude of this sport! Awesome. Took foam elephant left save the albatross sticker. TFTC
 
28-Dec-09
Lovely, lovely multi. Nice and easy to find each point and a bit of circling soon had the cache in hand.
Took: German coin
Left: Bunny in Basket

Nice easy multi, which was good. an enjoyable walk towards the cache. Lovely park.
Thanks tony_agogo for the cache. Smile
 
13-Dec-09
Cool. A local park for us but we don't normally come here. Nice little multi. Beautiful out in the sun and shade. Took a multi tool. Left marble, dice, sticker, phone card
 
01-Dec-09
Quite nice after a big day at work, got the brain ticking again Smile Found GZ without a problem and no muggles were even slightly aware that I was there Smile
 
23-Nov-09
Ha ha. It's amazing the difference if you get a number wrong. I counted one number wrong and ended up in someone's front yard Big Grin

I don't normally do multis but the Traditionals are getting thin in my area and this was my closest cache to home so it was about time I knocked it over. TFTC!!!!
 
22-Nov-09
This was a walk, of sorts, in the park. We arrived at WP1 to find a swarm of muggles playing some sport I could not identify and generally having a very good time. We initially thought we would just collect the information and go on our way. After visiting WP2, we set off in what couldn't possibly be the right direction. I guessed that we had counted the 'OF's incorrectly (indeed we had) and so we set off, once again, to GZ. This was out of the direct line of the muggles and so we sat and enjoyed GZ for some time, before surreptitiously returning the cache.

A great park. Thanks tony_agogo Smile.
 
I think it was the Tuscan association that were having a day out in the park and throwing what looked like a round block (if that makes sense) of cheese. Anyway a bit of a wander here and a wander there and we had it.
It was also hard rubbish day coming up for the area so I grabbed an old trolly for its wheels. Double score!

A bit hot today for a walk in the park (38c) Thank goodness there were some shady trees.
A nice little multi, and all the co-ords were spot on - thanks tony_agogo
 
06-Nov-09

A lovely stroll around on the freshly cut and wet grass this morning. Nice placement with spot on coords at the end.

Clear skies too from TeamAstro.
 
18-Oct-09
We enjoyed a birdsong-filled early Sunday morning stroll, collected the information, did the maths and found the well-placed cache.
 
18-Oct-09
And indeed it was a walk in the park. Gathered the clues and walked to the final loc, spotting its hiding place from a distance [^]. Used the nearby furniture to do the log thing. TNLN. Cheers Big Grin.
 
15-Oct-09
A nice little park with convenient parking and a nicely put-together multi with a safe hide at the end. You've done well Smile TFTC.

Find 747 My Way Without a GPS at 2.20pm
A Boeing Cache.
On my way home after being Elsewhere I remembered there was a cache in this park and the clues were contained in some plaques.
With no knowledge of the information to be collected I photographed 2 plaques in the park to allow me to find the clues at home.
While on a walk in the park looking for other plaques to photograph I found a well-concealed cache. Saving me another walk in the park.
The first time I saw this park many years ago it was an empty paddock over a relative’s back fence.
Thanks to tony_agogo for the cache and the walk in the park.
 
25-Sep-09
And a nice stroll in the park for me three[^]. Seems a nice park to overlook for the nearby residences.
Took a detour to work and with the rain holding off thought a nice quick walk would be a great way to start the day.
Knew where I should be going to the second WP, but the GPSr said slightly differently - I was right though.Wink
Made a miscount at the second WP, but when I realised the spot it could've been in was further than I thought did a recheck and found my mistake.
Then a nice stroll and a quick find (although it was in the second spot I checked - but only inches away).
Found a dry seat to log and grabbed the coin to move along. Suprisingly only two names in the log bookSurprised
TFTC Tony_Agogo

CheersCool
 
19-Sep-09
This is my first try at geocaching and found it quite an experience even though it was quite easy.
 
16-Sep-09
A nice stroll in the park for me as well [^]
And as a bonus the muggles picnicing near GZ left just as I finished collecting the required data.
Left a firesafe geocoin that's headed for Kalgoolie (direct from Melbourne!)
Cheers, TFTC.
 
13-Sep-09
A lovely stroll in the park on a beautiful day. Bonus virgin find for luck. Sweet.

A small error in my counting at the stage 2 found me on the wrong side of the road, which does not run east west. I returned to the plaque for another set of counting and found the error of my ways. Doh.

All co-ords spot on. Cache found in the first place I looked. Oh happy day.
