Logs
As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, 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.
I wish I had read previous logs before wasting time. Maybe the owners could confirm if this one still exists.
No luck for us today i had a decent look around before retiring back to the comfort of the air conditioned car. Thanks anyway AmbulareSimia
Looked thoroughly around the likely spots but no luck. Hmmm. Will try another day
Had a quick stealthy search. But will have return as the muggles were in residence at the park. TFTH
This was cache # 6 of 19 for the day, on a rather wet day out caching. I had tried this a little earlier in the day but found a group doing exercises in the shelter, I returned and soon had this one in hand. My thanks to AmbulareSimia & Loupyloo for the cache.
Yippee my 50th find, and a geocoin as well took Bart left monster
will move coin to Canberra next week TFTC

Found with Uncle_Andy on the way home from dinner. Quick find. Dropped off hi pressure geotalk geocoin. Tftc
Got to GZ and the GPS took me right to the cache. Only thing was I thought better of this and looked in a few other places before deciding to check where the cache was pointing!
Last cache for the night - the cache was found easily in its little hidey hole. Not the right time of year to see the jacarandas in bloom but the park looks like it would be a great place for the local community to celebrate. TFTC AmbulareSimia & Loupylou
Its a beautiful winter Saturday and nobody is using the park. This seems to have been the theme for today. Surprising but nice to be Muggle-free. TFTH
Geosons first attempt using the new GPS, and so much better... Nice easy find. Feel like I am following IF today! lol. TFTC
Wobbling around the northside on me pushbike this morning I found meself under the jacarandas
No flowers to be seen at this time of the year
A bit of searching later and there were no caches to be seen at this time of year [:o]
Retiring to the opera house I brought out the cache notes for some perusal.
Well that explained the lack of a cache where I was looking
I did eventually find the Old Northern cache near the jacarandas
TFTC.

The longest part of this search was crossing the road! Another fun cache on a beautiful Mother's Day caching morning! Cache is in good condition. TFTC.
Touring the area with Loki as my navigator, we pulled up to this one to find the park and the gazebo empty... [^] Having found this one before, Loki was happy to sit back and watch me hunt for a while. After a few minutes however, she joined in and looked directly into GZ, before moving on having not spotted the container. I scoured other areas and eventually moved over to where Loki had looked before... Hey, there it is... Seems cache blindness syndrome may be contageous... In her defence though, I am sure I have caught the disease on numerous occasions myself...
Cheers AmbulareSimia.

Found by Sunshine Toledo and Jinga 2 at 12:19pm. This is the 2nd time we have been to find this cache and I went back to the same place to look and couldn't find it again so went elsewhere to search but then came back to the same spot and there it was. How could I miss it twice? Anyway... TFTC
Couldn't find this one. An old man had stopped in the park for a rest, so took a while before we couldn't find it. Geoson was more interested in the horses. TFTC.
found this with kidmac.......co ords spot on.sl.tgcln.we have the perfect micro in mind for the evil geocoin.

found GZ quickly but scoured around trying to figure out what trees were what looked over cache a few times before finally coming up with the goods.

Searched around GZ GPSr had us right on the spot still no cache.
Are those jacarandas???? what about those???? widened the search area to a great distance and kept looking caches like these can be so hard at night Hmmmmmm Maybe I should look at the hint??
Well that didnt help I dont know which trees are jacaranda trees.
Well went back to the GZ according to the GPSr and searched some more and both Angry Lotus and I were searching the same place when "eyes on the prize"
This one is a good place for one of my new evils

Easy find but it was a shame to see such a nice little park in such a mess, there was rubbish everywhere and unfortunately the bins were overflowing. TFTC
It was quite hard to find but Dad finally spotted it. Dropped off the Birthday Ladybird (4KC0R6) trackable item. After we signed the log book I had a quick play on the swings.
Decided to check this cache out with Madstar20. I was able to narrow the search area down to about 5m x 5m with my iPhone. Spent about 30 minutes searching until I eventually discovered it. Nicely camouflaged cache. Thanks for taking us to this park.
The satellites must have been in the wrong places today as the GPS would not settle with a 20m variation.
I searched many hiding spots with no luck.
Adding to my watch list.

Nice easy find. Where are all of the Jacarandas in Jacaranda Park? Could only see 5 or 6 and none of them could be called old.

Nice hide - Qiuck find with help from Team Keir.... Took Air Asia Left Knight. TFTC
Took Whale.. Left Bart... TFTC.. Yet another great location for the cache..... This was the last for the day number7... GREAT 100% strike rate for the day...!!
Found this one with Fangsoki. On the way to the cache we saw something purple and metallic sitting on the concrete area. On closer inspection we found a smashed up Apple iMac. (this wasn't the cache by the way) The poor old thing had seen better days.
TFTC. Took nothing. Left a purple whale.

It took me a long time to find this one - the cache was found pretty well in the last place I looked - I fear that it might struggle to survive either 'Clean Up Australia' or 'local gardener' campaigns. Lovely little park though, cheers
Geo-mum found first and pointed micro-master in the right direction. Gotta give credit to the GPS on a very cloudy day for taking us to the right spot. Second of five today. TFTC (did a little CITO)
Around 3.00pm on a drizzling Saturday is a good time - else there'd be plenty of folk about. Nice little hide, good camo paint job. TNLN, SL. Thanks.
Nice little park, close to busy road, that has gone unnoticed until this cache was placed. Thanks for bringing us here.
Found with geonanna, I was distracted with some other thing, and nanna was quick to pounce on this one TFTC
Third time lucky on this one! Another in the series of "that should not have been so difficult!" TNLNSL, TFTC.
found it nice and easy great hiding loved the spot great place for a rest in the shade. TFTC
410 - Found this one easily in good condition at 2:47pm. Well hidden from the near by road. TFTC AmbulareSimia & Loupyloo.
Been back here twice now, still can't find it! Gaaaah! Will try again on the weekend.
5/2/2010 - another visit and STILL CAN'T FIND IT!!!

What is that old caching line. Yes that is it " Found it in the first place I looked"
Unfortunately for me it was not the first time I looked there. The simple nature of the hide can catch you off guard if your looking for something more sinister.

Found at 0817. This was my 2nd trip to this cache. tried Sun, but a couple had decided to set up camp right next to the cache. They were gone today. TFTC
at 14:18. Found easly in good condition. TFTC AmbulareSimia & Loupyloo. Took Unite for Diabetes Travel Bug.
Had to wait for a teenage muggle to leave before we could search for this one. And search. And search. Although Pagan had said "I bet it's there" we still needed to look there multiple times + everywhere else before finally grabbing this one! TFTC AmbulareSimia. L TB
Found the cache, after quite a search. Well, it was kinda early and I wasn't awake - that's my excuse. Grabbed the "Sumatran Elephant" geocoin, signed the log and also found Mrs Lat&Long a cool pair of sunnies. Probably from someone leaving the nearby pub last night.
Twelfth find of 13 caches today. Nice little park here. GPS lead all over the place, but I got it in the end.

We couldn't do the cache in the afternoon because of muggles so we did it at night.
Spotted by The Marble whilst I was heading in the wrong direction. Great community facility here. TFTC
Decided to tag along with DisSister, La Kedi and JustEmmy and was lucky enough to be the one to find this. Hadn't used my torch in a very long time so was glad the batteries hadn't gone flat. TFTC
Found on a nighttime dash up with the family, looks like a great park for a performance. TFTC ='.'=
Must have had a bad case of cache blindness for this one, but perseverance paid off with another smiley. A nice little park, I will ahve to come around at christmas time.

This area really looks good when all the flowers are in bloom. Tracked this one down no problem. TFTC.
First time we all slept in in a long while. So it was a surprise to see this one pop up so close to home.
So as not to wake any one else in the cave up and a slight hangover the quite cry of 'To the Ogre mobile' went out to Ogre No:4.
A quick search of the GZ resulted in the little bugger finding yet another *FTF* for the Ogres at 0730.
Was only yesterday as I was driving past with a muggle mate that I say to him 'I'm going to put a cache there.
TNLN Thank you very much for this one.

Tried to get out "early" to get a FTF under our belt. But by the time the geokids and I were ready, we had missed our chance being beaten to the prize by both the Band of Ogres and Black Ops. Logged the cache at 0830. Was a nice reason to get the kids out to explore Albany Creek. Took nothing, left nothing. TFTC!
If mad dogs and english men go out in the midday sun.....then what fits with a cacher who goes out at night in the pouring rain?
Found the cache (internally dry and in good condition) without any problems. Signing the log with foggy glasses was interesting
Thanks
ps...it seemed only fair that if you were out finding mine I should be out finding yours
