A bit over 7 years on this one... not bad for a joke cache! I've moved to the other side of town and this one keeps on running away so time to open this area up to new players.

Shame on you all!

Searched everywhere but according to other people’s photos the bench it was supposed to be on has been repainted so I think it has been removed

I believe the park has been renovated and it is missing

DNF sadly...searched ALL over the park but couldn't find this cache at night...only found a stranded trolley this is at 9:57pm

Searched for a while pretty sure it's not there as there wasn't much that I could have missed rip

Ok I just needed to turn this green dot into a smiley I had just drop a girlfriend off at Strathfield station to go home to Newcastle. I so decided to spend a few hours caching before heading home. Thanks for the smiley.

Again with my mum judecomp. Lets get named and shamed!

This was not find #1325 came to get some caches in the Homebush, Strathfield area with Lucky1955 I spent a good/bad hour here not finding this cache. Don't know how some of these other cachers can find this one so quickly. I previously DNFed it 29 months ago. My questionaire went from 17 to 28 (thanks to q14 & q19)

I didn't see the tree that was circled by Baktrak so can't confirm if he is correct

No TBs were visited or dropped

N.B. no ants were harmed in the not finding of this cache but they may have been harmed by muggles

Bloody b day party going on and peeps be sitting on the suspected bench rip

Only just noticed its existence today as I trained on by, er reading the live map on my smartphone as I went - as one does.

Of course I couldn't resist the quiz and would have a perfect score of 100, except for Question 4. I've cached in a few different countries of course, but so far only in my own Aussie State oh and one Territory. But then, I'm still in my first year of geo-addiction. But I am in control. Geocaching - I can take it or leave it. I could quit tomorrow if I decided I needed to. I am strong. I am woman hear me roar.

I hereby resolve to resist this POISON cache. It shall not haunt my dreams or mock me in my waking hours. Of course I could find it easily if I chose to, but I choose not to. AAAAaaaaaarghghghghghghgh.

Could not and did not wish to resist... Must have all smileys. Tftc

Quick and easy find between playing on the playground and having a picnic lunch

Swung by this cache after returning to Oz to dip in a TB.

Well it had to be converted to a smiley
TFTC

Find #: 1,499
Companion: Geokids6 and 12
Muggles: None
Weather: Lovely autumn afternoon
Cache condition: Log is damp

I'm not sure if it is "cheating" for me to find this, given it is out of my normal range and therefore not "polluting" my map. Anywho, I was looking for a cache to fill in a gap before a milestone find, so an explictly-arbitrary cache is probably appropriate. We parked nearby and headed across. There were some people in the house next door, but they didn't appear to notice us, so we were able to make a quick find (!), after which the boys enjoyed testing out the new equipment. So that's something. TFTC

Was out and about in the area so decided to visit this little park. Parked the car nearby and walked over for an easy find. Luckily there were no muggles about or it might have been difficult. Signed the log and replaced the cache as found. TFTC

Very funny concept. TFTC

Same here alnic39. Found it extremely easy. TFTC Zalgariath

Thanx for replacing. I had to turn that one lonely icon into a smiley.

The urge of a Geocacher, to find this cache filled me, empowered by that of my Geodad EverestHigh whom I found the cache with. TFTC Zalgariath!

I finally succumbed to the poison! I could not resist its lure any longer (especially with the prospect of it not being available in the future). TFTC Zalgariath

Always happy to get a smiley, better get in before it goes again, found with Snickersallan

Found with Bluewattle whilst visiting Sydney today, thanks Zalgariath for the neat hide and TFTC

It is back, but this may be the last time I replace it in this park. So this is your last chance to not find it

Having moved out of the area this one is becoming somewhat of a problem child. I'll replace one more time next weekend, but that may be the last time. Let's see how it goes!

I was driving by today and although I only scored about 20 points on the quiz, I thought I'd stop and see how easy a 1/1 could be, and then NOT get CIH, NOT SL and NOT need to replace. I didn't need superhuman strength to resist the urge as the CACHE is NOT THERE!!! I'll test my resolve another time once it has been replaced! No TFTC.

Nothing obvious to these eyes.

We think this one is a troll if you the description you will know why

Quick grab before a visit to the dentist. The park is muggle free at the moment. A beaut start to the day. TFTC

Rules are very correct. Super easy. Found within seconds.

It was very easy to find and we found it under a minute when we got to the park.

First ever fully solo find for our 3yo!

An easy find, but I had to be patient and outwait some loitering muggles just chillin' on the other park benches nearby. A nice little park here. Apologies for the late log. TFTC

F hard.

Quick find on a park alone.

Easy find

Very easy find

We found it!! Had to walk around the park a few times, but very happy when we found it

Thanks - feel well rested now!

Stopped off on the way back home after visiting Sydney Women's Guild. TFTC

Sure, it's a flippin mint tin in an obvious place and found within 30 seconds but this non-descript park is next to the preschool my eldest geokid went to so brought back memories. So damn it, this counts...

Too hard not to.

Game on. This one is finally back after construction of new equipment.

The new playground in the park is all finished and GZ even got a fresh coat of paint. Cache has been replaced.

Poison indeed. I've known about this cache for a long time. In the area today for work. Alas, maybe next time.

I visited yesterday and GZ has been replaced. However it looks incomplete and construction is still taking place on the new playground so I might wait until it is finsihed before replacing the cache. Doesn't look like it will take too long, they seem to be nearly done.

Imagine my delight to log this poison cache as a genuine DNF! The playground equipment has been fenced off and it seems the council is doing some improvement of the facilities here. The object at GZ is outside the fence but seems to have new wood and possibly a new frame and thus I suspect the container has been muggled. Or maybe I'm just not seeing it. TFTC anyway!

I used to think I was just a recreational user. Id go out in the early days and grab one or two. But then it started creeping up for me. I found myself staying longer for just one more findUntil I found myself out on cold Canberra winters at night walking along drainage ditches and climbing up trees to grab just one more. I logged this cache, Im not proud of it but I just cant help myself. My score was 48.

Quick and easy find. TFTC

Easy find. Did even get a munzee. Thanx

I found it it was very well hidden good work

Quick Find

Couldn't resist. Quick find

Quick easy find and no I couldn't resist

Glad to be part of this piece of history

Cannot resist. My OCD tendencies will not allow me to let the green dot sit there unmarked. Finding this cache brings me a strange sense of relief. Should I go and see someone?? lol

Found it in 10 seconds.
Very easy ?

On a walk around my new neighbourhood i saw there are a few local caches. So each week i plan on walking, running or riding a bit further to collect them. Cheers

After watching seemyshells video how could you not what a smiley?!? Scored 32/100. Found with RangerD. TNLNSL. TFTC, maybe!

After dropping friends off at the airport for an early morning flight, I decided to use the opportunity to head home with only the cache-gods to guide me.... And they guided me here. So when I pulled up, and looked at the name of the cache I was to find I remembered watching a podcast about this very cache this week. Well, poison aside, and the fact that I'm certainly not one to give any caches of this kind any kind of fanfare when I do find them, this cache is famous! Sorta-Kinda I guess.
Of course I was gunna find it - I was here to find it, after all, so over I went. Having seen the podcast made an easy find even easier, but I guess that's kinda the point of this one - although I did think I was a bit robbed in the DT rating... Only a 1/1? But I've found crappier mint tins (I'm impressed - you bothered to wrap it in tape ) in way 'easier' spots, where the "muggle-factor" alone (yes, even in deserted neighbourhood parks like this) has given me a D3....so.... Oh. That's right, the poison. My bad .
I signed my attendance (on a nice neat, clean, bagged 'geocaching' branded logbook, mind) and because I like to find caches in playgrounds with swag for the geo-kids, and I HATE finding mint tins with SWAG clogging up the hole, I added a bottle top .

With a score of 21 I think I'm still in the "clear", but I couldn't break my 'rule' and log what I "should" have for this cache... Which is: "TNLSSLTFTC"
Thanks for the fun of the find Zalgariath - Usually this would recieved my "crap cache of the day award", but today, just for the hell of it (much like the reason for the cache's being) - Favourite Point for you!

Found with Joanneeg.

Am only new to this so my score was 33.

Help! I've been poisoned! I heard this had a new clean log sheet, almost like a FTF one! I confess, I must be addicted, as I did not go directly home from work to avoid this cache. The description was too tempting and instead of caching close to home I headed here and within seconds of entering the park I had CIH, despite the muggles playing on the nearby playground equipment.
So there it is. I have been shamed like all the previous finders, including my geomate SMS whose signature is the first on the page. Yes, this is an Evil Mint Tin! Yes the Hide is Not CLEVER! Yes, there is No Tricky PUZZLE! Yes, the Park is Unremarkable (well, not entirely true)! Yes, the Challenge is Non-Existent! Yes, it is Hidden Next to (but NOT on) Play Equipment! Yes, it is Magnetic and Exactly where you think it is! But at least I get a smiley for finding it! Yes!
As for the survey, I scored a pathetic 44 points, but after today's effort I think I will do the test again.
TFTC (not). TNLNSL. That's all it's worth. #424.

Sorry this took so long to fix up, but it is back and terrible as ever. You may now resume ignoring this rubbish cache of no attraction whatsoever.

Don't find this, seriously it is not worth your time.... Your oh so precious caching time...

Shame on me for finding this typical park bench mint tin cache. I'm so ashamed of finding it....hold on, I really couldn't give a hoot if I found it or not. A cache is a cache regardless of why the owner put it there in the first place. Happy birthday to the CO's sis!

**I have publicly shamed myself with the cache, via Periscope. Showing my international followers the Aussie version of a LPC. How embarrassing.**

Apologies, I don't get down that way as much as I used to. I'm away now for a little while, will replace upon my return soon.

Went for a cache check this week and con confirm it is missing. Will replace soon.

i found it

found it

Looks like this one is missing. I'll replace it soon.

I found it
it wasn't really finding it but i found the QR code and i also found a ripped up log sheet which was kinda sad because i really wanted to sign it but still some idiot comes and either hid it somewhere else or he threw it out

I found the QR code, unfortunately I only found remains of the log paper ripped up on the floor and the container (what ever it was in), nowhere to be seen...

TFTC

Easy find. Needs more log paper. TFTC

Ok so it is a desperate move to claim this cache but I did it anyway. Now off to London. Tftc

Found with lilmissy. Decided to do this cache after doing one nearby. After arriving at park muggles decided to leave just in time to make a quick find and log as lilmissy and I did the questionnaire before arriving on location. lilmissy score is 11 and my score is my fav number and a ligit score of 69. TFTC +1 fav point for the activity and munzee. Now time to go cook dinner.

Well, despicable me, but as there were only three caches on my walking route, I couldn't afford to ignore a third of today's potential tally. Besides, I couldn't resist it .

Thanks again Zalgariath.

Ya nasty

Definitely on side with phlphotos here.
So I went to do the Bushes & Fields series in Strathfield/Homebush area when I realised there's this faux-cache here. I had to make a detour to make sure I was at least 150 metres (actually, more like 1.5 kilometres) away from this thing lest I get toxed.
Here I am sitting comfy at home quite chuffed I didn't even attempt and doing the Addiction Quiz. But there's something wrong with the scoring, I managed only 47/100 - a fail
As for Question 20? One day I might just get bored enough.
TFTDNF Z&Z 8^P
(Oh, and did not visit any TBs either)

Tftc no shame just one more to add to the collection hehe

Pretty easy but pretty small bi live very close so it was a good one.

You were right. Too easy but still filled in some spare time while waiting to collect Geokid.

Couldn't help it.

Couldn't help ourselves. Found with james_black

My first go ☺

First one! Family fun

Found this cache in our new neighbourhood, thanks for it

On a work trip to sydney i ended up with a couple of hours off due to a rescheduled appointment. Great to get out and grab a coupke of caches. Thanks for poisoning me with this cache... i am not ashamed of looking for a micro eclipse tin. Thanks for camoing it and making it an easy find. Tftc.

#696

I'm finally catching up on logging my finds from earlier in the year. I hope I've got all the dates right, but I've definitely found all of these caches and kept my streak going as long as I'm logging it.

quick find. Geo kid found this one because i couldn't lean very low. TFTC

Tftf

Stuuuupid

easy

Easy first find

Poison

I claim my poison with pride. Bwahahahaha.
I really love the concept of this cache. I reckon there's a way of making this an even better cache, but the answer to what that may be eludes me. I'm thinking, I'm thinking...

What is there to say about this cache really?
It was where we thought it would be but not necessarily the first we checked. It looked the exact same as stated and the experience was the exact same. Right down to the disappoint of finding out it's just a mint tin.

Anyways, thanks Zalgariath.

I went to this park and while there I filled out the quiz and I only got 17 out of 100 so I drove off without getting out of the car. Once I can get above 50 I'll see if I can driveby at that time. How long till I can't stand seeing it there and not being yellow. Maybe................Arrgh

Just had to take my poison. Caching steak day 588, I needed a quick find, but had to travel even further away from my usual haunts as they had been picked clean already.
Thanks for the cache.
