As there has been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it has been a number of months since the last owner note I am archiving this cache to keep 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 a reviewer (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, the reviewer will 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.

It's gone

No sign of this one.
 
15-Apr-13
Been watching this cache and as it has not been replaced after 5 months. I believe it should be archived. It had definitely been muggled and the cache container was destroyed when I was there in Dec last year.
 
02-Jan-13
Definitely gone.
 
24-Dec-12
In the forgotten garden,
I remembered a cache to find.
But after a bit of searching,
No trace of caching kind Sad
 
16-Dec-12
Found a part of what we think might be the leftover of a cache hide. Nothing here now.
 
16-Dec-12
Our only DNF for the day. On arriving at the GZ we found pieces of painted foam that we suspect might be the remnants of the cache!! Expanded our search but without luck.
 
Found it out on an afternoon adventure with #mini me
 
28-Oct-12
Great day out hunting with GreenwithScoutTroop Smile
 
09-Sep-12
Our last for today. Home to put the feet up. Wink The centre garden is looking a bit neglected but otherwise a quiet little spot to rest and let the kids play. TFTC
 
25-Aug-12
Needed a cache for the day and having tried unsuccesfully to locate a mystery cache, I decided that at 11pm on a wet night, I needed a traditional.
This was the nearest cache that sounded like it had the shortest walk: I was already rather wet Sad
A very quick find.
Neat camo: how did you do that?
Mind you, I still think the cache should have a lid..... when I did the locus cache thing there were so many creepy crawlies such as cockroaches and slaters and millipedes all through the cache.
SL. TFTC leighandjay Smile

Mr Tardis was in the area, and dropped in to grab this one. Good cammo, I hope this one doesn't get muggled again.

Certainly the "garden" over the fence is very forgotten indeed.

Signed the log. Thanks for the cache leighandjay.
 
10-Aug-12
Found It!
Coords were a bit out but given that it was hidden upside down I soon spotted it... I put it back the right way up.

Found this without travellinbwife
Out for a bbq with harleyjohn2569 nice little park to have a stroll through
 
15-Jul-12
Found while doing some city caches with brisal5 and roguewatermelon. Highlight or lowlight depends on how you look at it was the amount of CITO we did here. Definately a good collection of bottles and cans to get recycled.
Clever container, TFTC
 
15-Jul-12
Headed to town with Mogni and roguewatermelon to sus out some metal cipher series and drop some TBs along the way. The clues made this so easy. Quick find for everyone and clever hide. This is a lovely park. Pity about the nocturnal uses. Looks like fireworks and drinks were on the agenda last night. Someone called for Ralph in the bushes 10 metres from GZ. Glad it wasn't on the Cache! CITO resulted in quite a bit of petrol money from the deposits!!! Thanks leighandjay.
 
15-Jul-12
found a half full can of VB. Wonder why they didn't finish the rest...
 
02-Jun-12
Lovely day for a stroll. Kids loved how cleverly it was hidden
 
02-Jun-12
Caching with miss 6, spent a while there cause there were a few muggles, but were excited to find it. Took dinosaur, left mini scissors, signed log.
 
09-May-12
Found on a quick late night caching run... TFTC!
 
06-May-12
great hide but the container has no lid which may leed to problems in the long run.
 
09-Apr-12
Lid missing, clasps broken off. Not sure if we replaced it in the right location.
 
09-Apr-12
Found on a family caching day. This one may have fallen victim to an accidental find during an Easter egg hunt (we found a few eggs nearby). Found the camo (nice work, by the way), a small toy, and a lid-less container scattered on the paving. We put a new book and snap-lock bag in it, and placed it in what we thought was the right place. You may want to pay the site a visit soon to repair and relocate it slightly. Obviously someone knows where it is! TFTC

23-Dec-11
No trinkets save a twig, so left a yellow uno reverse card, good cache cheers
 
08-Dec-11
Been here before but the cache was hollow. Not this time tho. Fluff got a big surprise which almost saw the cache take a trip over the fence as a small lizard came flying out the cache onto his shirt. In seconds the cache was airborne and fluffs shirt was on the ground.
 
04-Dec-11
Made our way to the cache location and seen what I thought would be the hiding spot and turned out it was but actual cache was missing. After a look around the area found the bottom part of the cache and no swaps or logs so replaced the log and placed it back in the hiding spot and off to the next cache.

Needs to be checked and fixed correctly.
 
04-Dec-11
Found parts of it anyway,found hide first(well done) then main contaier but no contents or lid,set it back up as best we could but you will need to go and do some maintenance,tftc.
 
04-Dec-11
Didn't find intially but found the container on the ground without a lid, so placed it back in appropriate spot with new log book... May need to be checked as still needs a little more attention and didn't have anything esle with us..
thanks leighand jay for the cache
 
03-Dec-11
Went here with Olga. This has definitely been muggled. Found the hide upturned and empty.
 
21-Nov-11
Nice park! Loved the camo. After living in the area most of my life it's always good to come back and find a park I didn't know existed. Smile TFTC
 
18-Nov-11
Another blistering hot and windy day, shall I hunt a few caches today or not...umm oh yeah with Mr Bushies2 away in Perth for one week so it would be good to get out of the caravan and hunt a few caches with our dog Ned...he happily pranced around while I searched this one and found it straight away, excellent camo..you get a favourite point from me Big GrinBig Grin Thanks leighandjay.

Don't go to the wrong LeHunte and Gladstone Streets.
You will get confused.
Rely on the GPS and Co Ords. TFTC

Logged from my phone using the Geocache Navigator by Trimble.
Great disguise! One of the best I've seen.
Look out for the resident spider though...
 
16-Apr-11
Loved your camo - excellent but spider lives there too gosh!! Signed the log. Thanks leighandjay.
 
06-Apr-11
Nice cache leighandjay - clever use of camo too Smile

Visited with NiNjAWaBBiT (a recent convert to geocaching) got to near GZ sat down had a drink before walking up. With the tree at GZ it was abuzz with bees (pun intended) and also mozzies too - so if you're going to get this one bring some repellant Smile

Managed to find the cache - but as I was removing it from "the hide", there was a little lizard that was sitting on top, took the cache out and sat out making sure no muggles were watching, SL, TN left my 'cacher's card .. then returned the cache to the hide fixed up the camo and then got out of there - damn mozzies ! TFTC Smile
 
06-Apr-11
My first find!!

Visited with AuSSiEHuNt3R, who managed to find the cache - I stayed away from where it was hiding due to the fact that the flowers were affecting my nose - once he had the cache he showed me what was in it, before sitting down and signing it for me (I'm new to geocaching and didn't know what to write)
 
01-Apr-11
What a nice little park! Too many of these aren't on my maps - if geocaching didn't take me to them I'd never know they existed... it's great discovering some of the lovely green spaces in Adelaide Smile
 
01-Apr-11
TFTC! Great park! Took little work man statue - left bottle cap. I'll bring something cooler next time Wink

Found by Pa Kettle on his way home from work. Fairly quiet here today.

Good Hide. Thanks leighandjay
 
29-Jan-11
Loved your work with the cache. We were there a bit early, but if you are peckish, there is a sign out the front of the Krishna mansion next door advertising all you can eat vegetarian for $8. I think we preferred a cache we did later in the day; pass the pigs. Mmmmmmmm bacon.

Nice bit of camo. And it's amazing just how many of these little gardens there are scattered around the city, caching is giving me a great opportunity to see a number of them Smile TFTC
 
11-Jan-11
YAY our first cache... Plus night time too... That's got to count for something.
 
11-Jan-11
Our 11th find today (11/1/11). A clever hidey-hole but the clue soon had me in the right spot. TFTC
 
At last. Very cool hide. TFTC

might be a forgotten garden but what a good area
found with Datruk on our post christmas caching run
 
This park is always full of 'surprises'. Found this cache without a GPS. Moved the full bottle of ?wine in a paper bag that someone had left to guard the cache! Opposite the cache spot used to be a large pine tree. Someone was living under it, so the tree got a trim. Now it's not there at all. Thanks for bringing me back to the place where I was employed for 21 years. (I took my freedom from there last year....YAY!)
 
11-Dec-10
A nice easy find for Chugger, though he believes the hint could do with some adjusting Wink TFTC
