I dropped i today to check this cache and it's gone. I have had it in four different locations now and think it has run its course, so I will archive it.
Had a look today but felt very vulnerable around this building and with numerous muggles playing in the park so it will have to wait for another day.
I am an exchange student at friends' but I never heard anything about that park. We found that cache pretty fast. But bringing the log book out of the cache was hard. Also it was a bit broken. It would be great if the owned could change the book so it is easier to write on it. But it should last for a few notes. So thank you for bringing us here to the great park with the cache.
2 from 2 tonight! Quick and easy find. Still have no pen so couldn't sign physical log! TFTC
Found this while the family waited for our Italian takeaway birthday dinner. The hardest part was getting the log out of the cache as I did not have anything useful on me. Fortunately the wife helped, and all was well. Thanks!
Aus1 grew up in this area. It was nice to return to this little park after so many years. Good hide. TFTC
Nice hide!! Thank god I had my tweezers with me... Log is in tight! The lid was also on the ground nearby!! TFTC #27 of 31 days
Smiley spotted this one but was unable to approach because of muggles. We read the tombstones while waiting for the muggles to move on. Interesting place. TFTC.
had more trouble getting the log back in the container than finding the cache itself
Easy find, could have been gone under a minute but not with kids and a playground! TFTC
Well what a great surprise as I turned into the park! Its not everyday you see something like that, a great big sculpture just standing there.
There was a muggle workman walking round the old tree and so I was happy to kill time taking pictures of it but after about five minutes i could stall anymore so walked back to the car.
But as I was driving away I noticed he had just driven off also so after a quick park up and back to the park and after a short search I had the cache in hand.
A simple but affective container.
Thanks for the cache

Fabulous sculptures. Only discovered this interesting little park because of geocaching. thanks Graham
While geowife and geodaughter in city shopping took JrGeo for a quick trip up here. Quick and easy find TFTC
Gave geokid the hints and he was off. Found fast! Spot was so nice we put a munzee. TFTC
We enjoyed exploring this side of town that we haven't visited before. Great place for a cache, and an interesting little park.

I had commitments next week in Hobart, So it was a quick and easy decision to head across early for sightseeing and caching long weekend.. So it was all planned.. I started at Hobart Airport early on Saturday and was loosely en route to the International Geocaching Day event (GC3RMH6) in Hobart. I later headed as far south as South Tasmania 1 (GC408). I had a blast taking in not only the caches but also the sights and sounds. My apologies to the cache owners for my very generic logs, Lots of caches were awesome, however all deserve more than this boring paragraph that I'm devoting.. I picked out lots of drive bys, however also slowed down for the odd multi or puzzle (solved in the field). Thanks to all cache owners for the wonderful caches, great locations and views and all the effort that has gone into the hides. I have taken a bunch of photos and will upload them in the coming week or so.. Back home now I'm slowly catching up on the logging.. I am looking forward to another tip back accross the straight to collect a whole lot of caches that I overlooked. Finds mostly fit into the #2800 - #2900 range.. Thanks for the cache
Found at night with Mollypix. Definitely no TB here. Must have visited. Easy find. TFTC.
This was a very interesting cache found with xambo4u whilst we were enjoying the 53rd National Convention in Hobart. The trees were very intersting with the most amazing carvings. There were headstones along the perimeter of the park. We found rose like seed pods under the trees.

Out and about this morning with Roulette enjoying the 53rd national square dance convention. Having some free time we checked out the area for our favourite hunt game. Thanks so much for bringing us to this unique little park. We all loved it. We took the time to read the head stones, take pictures and pick up some of the little rose look alike seed pods that we found
Nice easy find.
You get a favourite from us for this one for great location.

Looked straight at it the first time and didn't notice it but went back and found it
Passed by today and put in a fresh log sheet. Unfortunately I over-estimated its width and had to trim it by hand to make it fit.
I had been there once before, but there were smugglers around the cache site and one man kept looking at me suspicious so I left.
Today it was smuggler free on this sunny Friday.
Easy find, no need for tweezers, it comes out very easily.
Thank you for the cache.
Visiting from Portugal.
The log is full, needs maintenance.

Have been here before when doing some night geocasheing but simply had to come back in the day time. Those sculptures are just beautiful.
This cache was found as part of a big day of caching the Hobart area with lots of caches found and many interesting sites seen and visited.
A big thanks to my dedicated driver/navigator, who played hard ball and gave no hints and only got out of the car at the caches he hadn't found, and my little mate who came to most of the finds with me.

Visiting Hobart and family, down to the park with the kids and my Son found this without even looking for it - NO GPS used. - I suppose once you are in the clan you get to become familier on where caches might be. - My son is 7
Well, that's very cool. We are finding many unusual structures scattered around tassie as we travel. TFTC
Today Brucie and Freddo had the all clear to have a big day of caching while Sally, two of the tadpoles and I went to the Salamanca Markets. They made the most of it and this was one of the caches they successfully targetted - thankyou.
I looked for this one ages ago without success and I had almost forgotten about it, but this morning I had no trouble finding it (in its slightly different spot) in a beautiful little park. Fortunately there were no muggles about this morning as I sat beneath that awesome tree and signed the log. TFTC.
A lovely park in an unexpected place. Spent a bit of time looking at the old Quaker headstones. Cache find was quick even though there were a few muggles about. TFTC
A good start to the year by picking up a cache that was missing when we visited during April. Still love this park and the work done with the tree.
