May I suggest it might be time to archive this? Multiple unactioned needs maintenance logs going back several months, clear indication the cache is missing and GZ has been interfered with, and no action from CO who hasn't logged in for about 6 months... ?
Thanks.
Thanks.
Didn't find it - looks like the council have been chopping back the trees in the area, poked around some of the other trees but as per the other recent cachers, the site is pretty grubby so not feeling inspired to poke around for too long..
We had no luck the other night either... although admittedly we were hunting in the dark...
Can confirm with last log that GZ has lots of rubbish and containers around.. Had a quick look through the bushes with no luck.
TFTC Easy find, felt like the secret garden.
Also felt a little bit creepy poking around the bushes while a family was on the playground.

This was a quick grab between 12 hours at work and collecting GeoSonJ from Scouts.
Thanks for the cache, HillTribe!

Paper is quite damp. Didn't cope well after big rain.
No more room for names.

Was looking in the wrong spot for a while but then saw the obvious. Very secret garden-esque.
Decided to do a few caches after visiting a friend in Hosipital. She has recovered well.
This was my last cache for the afternoon.
Found the cache quickly.

As we were living in the area, after dropping off the rental car used for our Great Ocean Road tour I decided to walk home and pick up one final cache on our Melbourne trip. Nice easy walk in and grab. It's been a great trip but now back to Brisbane we go. TFTC Melbourne and HillTribe.
Was out for a ride on this nice night. Decided to knock off as many as i could while in Box Hill and before the sun disappeared.
Quick and easy find, Thanks.

Found by Mary & David at 1630. Fitting in with the pattern we've seen this afternoon, the park was deserted on this hot afternoon. Another quick find. The log sheets are slightly damp. Our thanks to HillTribe.
Doing a bit of a cleanup of failed and missed caches in the Box Hill area, this one was top of my list. Pretty much because everyone else found it easily and I made a big mess of it. I returned and still struggled for 5 minutes, but it turned out I just wasn't looking in the 1 obvious and correct spot. Once I caught sight of the camo I realised that I had never actually checked there.
A walk up find today, great to see the water management, sad to see the nearby rubbish..

Visiting my family after a trip to Vietnam and Cambodia, before returning home to NZ. I brought my Flash Mob tag along, and dropped by to log a visit for my wee tag.
A nice quick drive by to finish off a short cache run after going out for a bite in Box Hill, no 4 for the evening in the area.TFTC
With another great day of weather today, went out for a cache cruise to fill in a few hours. Found this easily with no one around on new years day. TFTC.
Argh, I know the cache must have been there, however searching by torchlight meant that I could only focus on one tiny section at a time. So I couldn't pick out anything noticeable, and never managed to spot the cache. Didn't want to bug any of the PAF contacts so I just went back and forth searching, not sure at any point if I was searching the correct thing. I will be back someday with a better idea
Gunks, TigerAd, Geodog, Geotorch and Geopen on a Sat night caching, hoping to find enough to justify a Malteser Mcflurry reward. TFTC
Fortunately heavy rain came down just as we arrived near GZ and this caused the many muggles in the area to leave. As soon as it stopped raining we had no trouble in finding this well hidden cache.
TFTC HillTribe and bringing us to this new area.

Having been stupid enough to only record one clue at the nearby Simpsons cache, I drove back to get the other, then decided to work the early waypoints for a cache leading to Blackburn Lake, in preparation for next month's event.
How could I resist this cache on the way?
With nobody about on this side of the hedge, I was able to bolt in, make the find once I liked in the right spot, and bolt out. Cheers.

Thankfully quiet today, but there was a couple a little way away who were absorbed in each other. I was a little off at GZ, but I wandered around, read the hint, wandered some more...and there it was. Obvious once you see it. Thanks for the cache HillTribe.

Out and about on a mission with ProBleMatiKal. Film canisters can be a pain but this was a quick find. TFTC.
Had to make a trip to Box Hill with geo friend, so picked up a cache or 8 on the way home. This was one of them. Thanks.
Find # 357 logged at GZ at 2:57pm, easy find on the home from visiting friends neaby. T4TC!
Staying nearby so braved the cold and rain and hotfooted it down to GZ for a quick find. Needed to find one today to hopefully get the souvenir. Greetings from Perth and thanks for the cache HillTribe.
Great pocket park - all those times driving down Whitehorse Rd I never thought to check behind the oval - TFTC
Quick find should had taken a picture as S4pphire retrieved this cache with spiders around it
First find for our time on holiday from NZ. Nice park and info on water recycling.
Muggle-workman was asleep in his truck as I went to search, but as I returned to the car he was awake and looking at me. I hope he didn't think me too strange.
25/05/2012 22:28 I had picked up my nephew and was about to drive home when the email alert cam through and I was off searching another cache. after striking out there we drover here to a pretty quick find of a cache that I expected to be something else due to the title. Of course, having driven here I now know what the title alludes too. Quick find and sign. TFTC HillTribe TNLN SL
Found @ 10:20 pm , find # 1455.
Out on another Friday night caching run.
When I first arrived at GZ, I thought oh no a micro in here, but it turned out to be ok, as it didn't take too long to find.
Thanks to HillTribe for this cache.

In the area to pay a birthday visit to family members. What a perfect opportunity for a bit of a caching treat. It was interesting to see an operational underground water catchment, as we have been watching the construction of a similar system in Geelong.

Fortunately the only others about were working in the footy ground and out of sight behind the hedge so we were able to duck in for a quick find. TFTC.
Found! Almost gave up as a hedge trimmer came towards me, but persisted and managed to get in and out in time tftc!
Being dinner time on a long weekend there was nobody about, not even in the playground. After the GPSr took me thereabouts I saw a likely spot and quickly located the cache at 7:15pm. Actually, it was more like a 'drive by' as there was parking only about 20m away from GZ and then it was a quick and easy find.
TNLN...SL, although a Danish Nomad GC and a Sydney Koala GC had a visit to mark the occasion. Thanks HillTribe for bringing me to this lovely little park.

I had attempted this one a couple of times in the past (more than a year ago it seems... Good grief! Where did the time go?!) Will nearby caches getting thin on the ground (the bane of the daily cacher) it was time to have another go at this one. Annoyingly - but a relief - this one took me a mere minute to locate - I swear I looked in this spot before... Glad to cross this one off the list and my daily streak going TFTC
Second time to this one. Were muggled last time. Search revealed both the cache and a stolen wallet! Tftc.
Love the park - time to stop off and have lunch after a quick search to find the cache.
Quick and easy find, thanks to my big sister. A muggle, but she found it first!
My third today, and fourth for my trip over from NZ. TFTC, wee something for the next finder.

Just picked some frozen dim sum from around the corner before doing this one. Mmmm caches. Mmmm Dim Sum! TFTC
Great to see councils innovating and thinking ahead about the water situation. The cache was a quick find in the end, even though our gps said we were 16m out. Maybe the trees and cloud were throwing it off. We just had a look around and figured out we're it should be. Tftc and bringing us to this great little park. Tn l: pathtag.
Found @ 2350
Found with ggkof on our usual weeknight caching adventures. 19th of 20 for the night. No problems at all at this time of night, the park was deserted. I'll have to come back in daylight to read up about the water management.

Found it this morning after exercises with Tuan. No probs with Muggles as I was the only one in the park.
3rd time lucky! At last no muggles around. Tftc, and thx to 4beefan for leaving a pen!
Been driving past this park for months but not stopping as been popular with muggles. This evening was a bit wet & cold which saw me & the geokids have it to ourselves. TFTC.
Down to two torches, I walked in blind into the bushes. Somehow I missed a spider and its huge web, thankfully.
A quick find. TFTC.

From the second attempt this one gave up. How could we miss it at the first time. Bought some stuff for my bicycle in the shop nearby. Its owher should say "thank you" to the author of the cache.
A nice quick find on a lunchtime outing. And, I get to be the first to sign the new logbook! .
Cheers HillTribe, thanks for bringing me to a park I'd never visited before.
