Couldnt find it.

Dnf

Found evidence of zip and wire cable on the structure, but no container around to go with it. Not sure if this is old, or decoy, or a muggled cache. Picture of what we found incase this was it.

A quick find whilst visiting the area with geo lad Thanks for the cache Cheers

Another nice fast findVery peaceful day, not many people around.

Found it today with the kids, thanks

Homeward bound after the Geobash. Reasonably easy find on a warm autumn day in Wagga. Thanks for placing

Pen won't work, pic uploaded. TFTC

Wow such a beautiful little spot in here,no one around had it all to myself for a quickish findThanks for the cache

Found but dont have pen so proof of find in pic

February 29 always has to be a caching day so I took the day off work and travelled to Wagga Wagga with ampitup1 to attend the CITO and to get a few caches. Main aim was the Pub Crawl and a few random others. 43 caches all up (including 2 previous DNFs) and a good day despite the heat later on - after brief showers and even a lightning storm the car hit 39 while travelling the back roads.DNF avenged here - one I had tried for ages ago (and now realise why I didnt find it). Wandered through the gardens enjoying the spray from the sprinkler. A thorough search required but the cache was located.TFTC The Farmer 5

Enjoyed a day out caching with Thewins5. Started the day at the CITO and then continued the day caching around Wagga then home to Albury. This is a cache that I hadn't attempted previously but had eluded Thewins5. After a couple of minutes we had the cache in hand. Log signed and returned as found

A delightful garden space and a great little hide in this nook.

Stopped at wagga wagga on the way to the mega. Visited the lovely gardens and found this cache. Thanks for the cache tnln replaced as found sl

Lovely area. SL.TFTC

Stanyer fam.

Great little garden. Completely walked past the outside on the trail. And then went back to the entrance and found a beautiful garden.

Found after exploring the botanical gardens, took a little while to find how to get to the area, through the kids playground. But a very interesting location and a neat little cache, thanks for another one The Farmers 5.

The Shakespeare garden is a special place to my husband and I, a place we frequented some 18 years ago when we first met. It has changed since then with a reno in 2018. Today we brought the kids for the first time. TFTC

A trip to check out some of the awesome places in NSW and grab some old caches. TFTC.
I totally approached this one from the wrong direction up on the hill. Found a way into the gardens from the back. A sneak and a quick find.

New cache and log sheet added plus new hint .
Good luck.

GREAT LOCATION.
lovely gardens.
Nice a quiet.

Coming from Sydney. Stopping in Wagga Wagga for a little bit and onto Mildura.
Great spot in the Garden.

nice easy spot

**Found whilst in Wagga for a couple of nights**

Out and about with Happy Pants, The Empire and Happy Feet after we managed to organize a couple of nights away.
It was great to be back in Wagga. First time I have visited since I served here in the late '80s. It certainly has changed
Another early morning coffee and fuel stop before heading out to clean up some of the many local caches. A good time had by all with memories made and laughs had.
Thanks for the cache The Farmers 5 and for highlighting the area. Thanks for the history and the interesting story behind the cache. Appreciate your efforts.

Catching up on some late logs, now that I have time, while travelling.

Found this hide while caching with the crew, for a few days around Wagga. We were wandering around the wrong hint which was a few meters from GZ, until finally one of the crew pointed us in the correct location. Once at GZ it was a quick find.

Thanks for placing this cache and doing the maintenance, so we can enjoyed finding it.

Wandering around the garden this morning grabbing a few caches and answers for a adventure lab cache and we came across this one. While following our gps'r we came across the likely spot only to find ourselves a little off track. With that sorted we quickly spotted the cache and added our names, thanks The Farmers 5 for the hide and for highlighting this beaut spot.

Found by The Empire with Snap Happy, Happy Pants & Happy Feet.
We were with 'The Crew' in Wagga Wagga for a few days of caching fun! The trails were yesterday, today we were cruising around town, picking up some cool caches and completing Adventure Labs.

Starting out with a wander around the botanical gardens, we were 'barking up the wrong tree' with this one for a while until we worked out where we needed to be! Signing caches with either a stamp, multiple stamps, hand written names or 'The Crew'. Thanks for the cache The Farmers 5.

Beautiful garden xx

Ah ha ! I recall some Farmers 5 caches from June last year

Great place

TFTC

A beautiful walk in the gardens for a cheeky find in a hidden garden. Thanks for the cache

Had to come back ans find this one. This time I found it but had to sit down and have a think about it before hand

Lovely spot, with weirdo biker.

Almost got locked in the gardens retrieving this one so we were happy it was a quick find

We are heading south to be Mega in Wangaratta.
Wagga was a destination stop on our trip which began in Brisbane some weeks ago now. On the way we have stopped to be with the family in Sydney and Canberra.
We are grateful that the borders have opened and that we have had the opportunity to head south.
This morning we decided to visit Botanic Gardens here Wagga and were surprised by their beauty and the care that has been taken to maintain them.
The Shakespeare garden was outstanding and impeccable.
The hint was useful, as we would hate to put even a blade of grass out of place in this beautiful location.
A quick sign of the log and some photos taken of this beautiful area.
Adding a FP here.
Thanks Farmers5

If you're tired looking, having a seat might be helpful .

We actually gave up trying finding this one. After several failed attempts when it was under the lion. However today we found it by accident without looking.

tftc! lovely area to visit

New cache in place . Fresh log sheet and hint .
Good luck .

Had a poke around but nothing is it possible the ground keepers know about this and keep removing it??

Spent a while in this section of garden unfortunately I couldn't locate the cache.

Couldn’t find it today

New cache in place .
Good luck .

Searched but no luck.

DNF - searched all around the lions.

Third attempt today with thrivingasbelle but no luck. Still nice to visit the garden.

DNF with jessica_brauman

I know the diffiuculty rating is reasonably high but thr hint is rather specific unfortuante to end the day on a DNF but thats just thw way it is sometimes

No go for me today

We had a short search here, but as we were very careful to not go pushing bushes around, we were unable to find the cache today. Thanks anyway.

2 of us had a good look... no luck.

Thanks to The Farmers 5 for the placement and fun.

Found on a wet morning in Wagga, with signing duties conducted under the umbrella. Cache in excellent condition with log book dry. The hint was very helpful, cheers. TFTH TFTC replaced as found ready for the next geo-adventurers.
Thanks goes to the CO, The Farmers 5, for this cache. Well done.

Quick find with some little helpers. A good introductory one for new geokids. Thanks

TFTC

Lovely location

Image attached to found log.

A fairer start to this fine summer's day
Then a walk through these gardens cannot be.
The wandering paths leading the way
In the cool of the shadows cast by the trees.

The intoxicating scents and hues
Casts a spell that makes time quicken.
Finally I followed a guiding rose
That took me to a secret garden.

Upon a terracotta rose by turned in wonder.
Had I stepped through time and space?
A fierce beast guarded treasure.
My name on a tiny scroll I did place.

The curving horizon beckons me to explore.
Geocaches like this flavour the journey more.

I was in town visiting my son who moved here a few months ago, and attending a geocaching event. I went to the Botanical Gardens Sunday morning just to enjoy them alone, but happened to find an AL and geocache whilst there.

I was genuinely surprised by this little secret garden. It was very different from its surroundings. The gates felt welcoming and like I was entering some regal place. The geocache was easy to find. I sat down to write in the log and ended up staying there for a while just enjoying the space. I love when geocaching takes you to little hidden gems like this, and so a fave point shall be bestowethed upon this treasure.

Thanks

Quick find. Tftc

Tftf!

Yay! Finally got to check this one off our DNFs. Pretty sure we made about 6 attempts to get this one since we started caching.

Found with a new geocacher
Was an easy find

New format cache in place . Fresh log sheet and clue .
Good luck .

Found.
Not a Sistema container.... very wet and logs needs replacing.
Unable to fix today as i wasn't in full caching mode.

Still didn't find. Second attempt. Oh well.

second attempt at this one, pine bushes have grown a lot since last was here, took photo as like last finder says, no log, tftc

Second visit.Like the previous finder I took a photo. Log needs replacing as none found, vegetation has certainly grown since my last visit when that wall of tree wasn’t there. Tftc

Looked around for a bit but got rained out. Ran out to Chinese garden and are waiting storm out under pergola.

No log book don’t know if this is it.

On our first visit we found what looked to be a throwdown, but having no luck finding an alternative we contacted CO. With some clearer idea of what to look for we returned for a second look. Still no joy, so we are logging what we think is the new version of the cache, or perhaps a throwdown. Loved these gardens and with all the work they are doing here this place will be fabulous. Great place for an outing. Tftc

Found on a stroll through the park.
