Time for this one to go. Thanks to all finders and hope it was enjoyable. Time to let someone else have a go at this area.
I have not forgotten about this one, but have been hiding from COVID in QLD since June.
Due home at the end of the month or early next and intend to sort this one out as soon as possible afterwrads.

On Easter holidays at Jan Juc and everywhere was unbelievably busy so some caches I didn’t even bother searching for but I had the electric scooter which made it much easier on this unusually hot autumn day. It was really nice cruising these trails with the awesome views.
Returning to my accommodation I thought I may as well stop here even though there were a couple of not founds. As I entered the park from a different direction I saw what I thought would probably be GZ. I went and calculated my coordinates and I was right. However after looking and sticking my head in a lot of places with spiderwebs everywhere I couldn’t see the cache either.
Thanks juc_cacher for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

The description in the hint matched where we were searching, but unfortunately didn't find it... still, on such a beautiful sunny day it didn't matter, we had fun anyway!
The last couple of days have been a bit wild and windy but today the sun came out and so did I Loved the way the information was presented and my calculations had me in a place that matched the hint but no joy for me here today. Another time
Fabulous hide! Loved finding my first one in Jan Juc! Box was open and paper very wet so couldn’t sign it. Box now closed but paper will need replacing.
Found on Wednesday 24 April 2019 at 16:21:26
Out chasing Multi’s today with Neville_Devil, who has already found this one but we were nearby so I stopped off to make the find, having already calculated the coordinates previously.
Thanks juc_cacher for placing this Small Multi-Cache - this is find 1045 for BFMC

What a great place for kids, and big kids too. After checking out the area, we got down to the business in hand. With clues collected and calculations complete, we headed to GZ.
A man was exercising his dogs right in front of us, so we waited patiently. As he was leaving, he stopped and had a long chat with us. Nice guy and beautiful dogs and once the coast was clear, cache was in hand.
Thanks for a great multi juc_cacher. It was fun.

Thanks for a great multi juc_cacher. It was fun.
Stopped here on a family bike ride to Bells. The numbers were quickly noted, and pointed to a logical spot nearby where, sure enough, the cache was found. Thanks juc_cacher for bringing us here.
I popped down today and replaced the cache, all good to go. the original container will return to service somewhere, sometime, once it's all dried out.
You know what they say...plumbers' pipes, mechanics' cars, doctors' children, caches closest to the CO's home always have the worst maintenance.
I'll get to this one as soon as I can. Might be tomorrow otherwise early next week.

###**CACHE OWNER ACTION REQUIRED PLEASE**###

I've noticed this cache is carrying a maintenance log which really does need to be addressed by the cache owner.
The guidelines indicated that periodic visits to check on the cache, as well as prompt attention to any logs that indicate there is a problem, are part of the [**cache owners responsibilities.**](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines#listingmaintenance) If you can't attend to the issue promptly, then you need to [**Disable it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=235) - I have Disabled it for you this time.
**Can you please respond to this situation (or indicated your intention) within 14 days,** so others know exactly what is happening with this cache?
You have lots of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:
- Check on the cache, repair and/or replace the cache or do whatever else is needed, post an [**Owner Maintenance log**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) indicating the cache has been checked and [**ENABLE your cache.**](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ) Then sit back and wait for the praises.
- If you really hope to get it fixed but there is some unusual reason why you can't do it soon, then at least post a Write Note log (within 14 days). Be sure to indicate the actual date that you expect to have it fixed so that everyone knows you are on top of it. For ongoing issues (where you don't have an actual date) please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 28 days so as to keep everyone up to speed.
- If you don't plan on fixing it then you could consider passing it on to another geocacher by asking them to [**Adopt it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=54) or alternatively, you need to [**Archive it,**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=56) so it is removed from searches and someone else can have the spot. Don't forget to remove any remnants of your previously enjoyed cache too.
You might wonder what happens if you don't pick one of those. Well, if nothing happens, then a few weeks from today, when I next look at the cache page, it is likely that I will, unfortunately, have to de-list (Archive) it on the basis that it has been abandoned.
Honestly, I'd rather you decide so please do something before then. Please don't send me an email but instead follow the information/advice posted above.

Nice story, nice park and nice bridge.

Needing some points for the planetary pursuit we headed down to Torquay to resolve a few multi's still on our to do list. The last cache in the Torquay area for us and what a quaint one to finish off with. We explored the park with its brilliant tiles and sensory garden, just like kids ourselves ,then we remembered what we were there for and gathered the clues to lead us to GZ. The cache was found in good condition after we waited for some guys kicking a ball to move away.
Thanks juc_cacher a very enjoyable multi in a top spot.

10 minutes to do math then walk to final destination. Very good cache. Was worried about it with last log being DNF.
Hoopla!! Our first multi in our new neighbourhood!! Multi caches scare me - but our persistence paid off!!
What a great park for kids. The planning, design and construction has made this a wonderful place for kids to play and explore. Data collection was straightforward. Accurate coordinates and the hint led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks juc_cacher for the cache.
Found It!
I came here yesterday and the place was riddled with kids so I came back today when it was raining and they had (mostly) gone away. Found the plaques, did the maths and headed off to GZ for a quick find!

This really is a great place for little people to play. We love the sheltered bbq with lighting - a rare combination that we appreciate, being very prone to staying later than we planned at such things. Our little people and a few of the bigger ones enjoyed a play while the rest of the big people went about hunting for the cache. Thanks juc cacher for bringing us to such a great park!
Found with friends, introducing them to the fun of Geocaching. It was a fun find with everybody racing around following clues.
Decided to take on the Great Ocean Road for the leap weekend. A range of caches tackled in some great spots. TFTC a nice cache thank you
Found the plaques. Substituted the numbers. Did my maths twice. Tried using degrees, minutes, and seconds. Tried using decimals. Neither locations were a short walk from Bob Pettit Reserve.
New Year's resolution. Catch up logs from our Mega trip that have been put on the back burner. Thanks to all the cache owners for the fun while on holiday from NZ. Found with bkj97. T4TCSL
Greetings from New Zealand. Found with little blue hen while attending the Mega event. Managing at last to catch up logging our finds. Thanks to all COs for the caches to keep us occupied. TFTCSL
Was at the park with the kids when I thought to check if there was one nearby. Quick find with the girls
This was an enjoyable journey at a very nicely presented park and playground. Soon had the info I needed and headed off to GZ. I did the geo dance here and finally read the clue before finding the cache and signing the log.
Thanks for showing me this lovely spot and for the history lesson here juc cacher

Apologies...life has gotten in the way the last few months and I completely forgot about this one. I'll have a new cache in place within a couple of weeks.
What a nice playground with many muggles and their children enjoying the area this sunny morning.
Enjoyed doing the interesting multi but unfortunately we had no luck finding this elusive to us cache.
Perhaps are arms were not long enough to reach under enough??
TFTC juc cacher that we hope to find one day in the future.

I have had information that sounds like this one has gone. I'll disable for now and check it out as soon as I can.
Out with Darth Briji and Na'wal to grab a few caches on the coast, there was a few laughs and entertainment to be had which made for a great night.
With the Mathis out the way we made our way to GZ where Darth Briji did the hard work to retrieve the cache.
Thanks for the cache juc cacher

Out on a late afternoon with alchey & Na'wal. There's nothing better than going caching with a couple of mates to keep one entertained with plenty of laughs & jokes at one's expense.
I let alchey take the honours in working this multi out and the cache was quickly found not too far away. had to sweep away some cobwebs and cache guardian first however before sticking my hand in
Thanks juc_cacher for the cache

Was unsuccessful 2 years ago. Worried it was gone. Not worried now! TFTC.
Another Sundays adventures and today's choosing was Torquay / Jan Juc area. Beatiful weather till late arvo where it started to shower- great day out on the coast, no dnfs!
DSid the required Maths and soon had a gz nearby. Even tho drizzling, carpark half full with people kicking a footy around! A quick retrieve without getting too dirty- log signed and off to the remaing Juc Caches!

What a delightful park, I am so glad you placed a cache here. The information plaques are beautifully decorative and made researching the necessary information a pleasure. I was particularly impressed with the lambs and sheepdog as well as the hammock. I've never seen one of those in a playground before.
This was the Multi I required today to acquire 5 different types of cache in a day for another challenge.
Getting the coordinates was the fun part, extracting the cache was the very difficult bit for this old geriatric, but perseverance won the day and allowed me to release a travel bug from here to continue its journey. I also took the excellent stamp to use at my next destination, the letterbox at Torquay. I left a Simpsons figurine in its place.

4th find of the day.
2nd with KrayKatLady. We teamed up and tackled this nice little multi.
I grew up in Torquay/Jan Juc so it's nice to find a cache in my home town =]
In the area today for family stuff and a day off in the bargain so thought I'd take up the opportunity to go caching as well =]
Took- Breast Cancer key ring.
Left- Magnet in smiley face baggy and Travel Bug.
Cheers and T.F.T.C!

We came into Geelong today to catch up with G&2G's as well as doing some well overdue maintenance on one of our own caches.
On such a beautiful sunny afternoon we couldn't resist coming here as we had decided it would be good to do a multi and get a bit of exercise.
The information was collected quickly and then we had a nice walk to a very likely gz where the cache was found in the first place we looked but not until we looked there a second time.

#5910 We really enjoy a multi although our junior cacher has grown beyond the joys of the jungle gym, so she opted out of this one today. Fortunately the weather being glum and had been raining meant all the equipment was wet and so the mini-muggles were otherwise occupied. We were able to collate the necessary information before taking the walk to GZ. With junior footy on we were quite enjoying seeing one big pack of kids follow the footy around the field . Whilst one stood lookout the other extracted the cache from it's niche. Our thanks to juc_cacher for the enjoyable multi and walk. Cheers [^]
Found! A great little multi that had the geokids playing in the great play equipment here while I did the sums. Only one muggle mum with her young child but while getting the numbers I need, she had left. Kids continued to play on equipment while I walked the the co-ords. Once there, I found straight away.

First puzzle cache for team uberdruid. The kids got bored as dad tried to work it out - play equipment helped. TFTC - will hopefully get around to finding the rest around the area.
Today was the day for multis it seems. Having found another nearby, I headed over to this guy whilst the geofamily braved the choppy waters at the SLC. I did the calculations and wandered over to GZ. I had a bit of a scout around but couldn't immediately see what I was after. Then it was time to pretend I'd decided to sit and check my phone until the muggles approaching from both directions passed on...and then another lot... Having had a quick look at the hint I then had a proper look where I'd started looking in the first place !
This soon produced the desired result, so I extracted the cache, signed the log and put it all back where I found it before heading off for another nearby find, which (unlike this one) didn't want to be found
Thanks juc_cacher .

First ever find - great fun, especially after no luck in Torquay Blvd. Geokids exchanged a couple of swaps. Had trouble working out the co-ordinates though. Found the clues but couldn't work the equation to match gz. Found Gz thanks to the hint. Thanks!
Thanks for the exploration and history of this nice park, and a well thought out puzzle. TNLN. TFTC
It looks like a really high quality park for the kids - and heaps of sports grounds!
I had previously been unable to approach WP1 to gather the clues since the park was busy. This time I approached when the coast was clear and started gathering clues for GZ. Some muggles then approached, but I wasn't deterred since it is a public park and I was already there... no way I was backing off on this occasion .
Retrieval was an easy muggle-free operation.
MPLC, juc_cacher.

A good location for an explore! One les petites had departed we were able to get the info and had a short walk to GZ. Interesting to note the difference of the area in Google Map satellite. TNLN TFTC
This is awesome place for kids to run around!
Enjoy spend time to look around here after collect the clues.
Found it nicely
Thanks for bring me here and interesting information.

Great cache. Found it a while ago but had no pen so returned today. Love both the clues and the park so will awarded a favourite point when I get one. Took golf ball left crazy rabbit. TFTC
Set out on this one with 2 geokids whilst the 3rd had tennis clinic. Great playground and surrounds. Some quick calcs and off to GZ. Found the cache sitting out on the ground for all to see. Fortunately all seemed to be intact. Signed log and replaced where we presume it was meant to be. TFTC!
