A Disturbance in the Park Oatley, New South Wales, Australia
By MokoFuzz on 05-Nov-10. Waypoint GC2HRW5

Found on 23/10/2011 with walk there and sat down. Logging now as have opened own account. Cannot backdate for some reason

found with sat down and had coffee

Found this a while ago. Just logging it now

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.

Would be sad to see this go as it was one of the first I ever found but it's been quite a while now...

Found with Bells Angels. Somebody must have made off with the cache container and left the bag. Nice location and the first of many caches found with BA in the area. My umbrella was able to provide protections whilst it rained. The geokids had fun finding this. Cheers.

This cache has a nice description. Is in a nice park. In a nice hiding spot. Unfortunately it is missing and all that's left is a piece of paper in a broken ziploc bag. Looking through the logs there has been maintenance reports for 6 months. I'm sorry but this isn't a cache any more.

Sorry about the delayed maintenance. Expect a new cache there within the next few days.

Found on a cache run with rinsemesocks today.

There is no container - only a log inside of a baggie. I don't know how much longer all will remain. I brought a few trackables for a visit as the cache was unsuitable to leave anything. SL TFTC. Greetings from Arizona, USA

.

The 'Official Geocache' notice has faded and is now illegible. I don't know if there was ever a separate log book, but if so, it has gone now. We followed the example of others and signed the back of the notice.

Ah yes, just where I would have put it. We walked in, via a few other caches, but we soon discovered how easy it would have been to approach in a car.

Last caching day of 2012. Went to these very nice parklands to find the local caches. Found the zip bag but container was missing.

As previous logs mentioned already, there is no container. Only found zip log bag and as such logbook looks to have signs of water damage. Still able to log the find but recommend owner do some maintenance.

With Gilberto74 and AnaD73

TFTC

I think the container was missing. We found the zip bag with the log book in bad condition.

TFTC!

Found the zip lock but it's in bad condition. Didn't bother trying to sign. Could fit a big container.

See previous log.

Found? with Rat&Brats - our last for the day. There has indeed been a 'disturbance in the park'. All we found was a ziplock bag and a standard geocache notice - no container of any sort. Signed on back of notice under ben86 and placed it back where it was found with some camo.

Found with JustR. All I can say is see previous log/s. Signed back of paper TFTC

Found bits of the cache - it looks like it could have been shifted by the weather. Log note has got wet and stuck to standard Geocaching notice so I wrote on the back. Thanks for the cache though!

Thanks for the cache! See below.

When we found GZ, the cache container was lying on the ground. After searching around, we found a very wet log and pen and 15m away, we found the lid to the container.We put it all back together and placed it at GZ (NEEDS A NEW LOG)!!!! cheers

See previous log.

Found the cache, the log book is extremely wet and mouldy and needs some TLC.

Cheers

My GPS kept sending me back and forward. Didn't understand the hint, but when I just stopped between the 2 places my GPS kept sending me and just looked, it was so obvious. So, this was my 3r today.
TFTC!!!

Cant believe I am posting this after all the 'finds' ! 2 of us searched the GZ for what felt like all afternoon, about 100 kids in the park celebrating various birthdays slowed us down a little bit, but even after looking at the clue, recent logs and what you would think would be a 'spoiler' of a photo still no luck! It was the end of a long day, maybe our Geo senses were out . . .

Our second ever find. Nice and easy. Good little hiding spot though. TNLN. Signed the log, but the pen needs replacing.

Over from Perth for a week so decided to find some caches while here. This is my first one in NSW. What a magnificent area this is, so many amazing views.
Cache was quite wet so dried it out best I could but log book is quite damp.
Thank you for bringing me to this beautiful park. TN left my found it wooden coin.

Left 2 geo-kids with geo-mum/captive geo-bub in the playground. Found cache very quickly. As mentioned logbook and cache contents are damp. TNLN. TFTC.

TFTC!

First of the numerous caches found today at a get together with old friends! As stated below, cache was all round wet and logbook wasn't very dry at all, but that didn't stop the thrill! (3

Thanks for a nice cache!

100% cool! Good job guys, TFTC!!

Found on an afternoon hunt with the captive geobub.

The log and contents are quite wet. The ziplock bag is not watertight, however, I didn't have a spare on me at the time.

A nice easy find in an area I spent a lot of time playing in as a kid. Unfortunately, the log was too wet to sign today - could do with some maintenance to ensure the log stays dry.

TNLN. TFTC, M!

Cache 3/5 for the day!!! TFTC!

Clever hint! TFTC!

Found it. Parked in the car park. Saw the two logs jumped down the end and wja lah there the Geocache is. Took diabetes geocoin and left mr men toy. TFTC!!!

First cache on our first visit to the park. TFTC!

Found but no coin

1629. Found. TFTC. tnlnsl.

TFTC, visited with a group of trackables learning about the local area.

Found it in the fpil, interesting definition of two logs, tftc.

Revisisted here with SESBLOCKER so he could make the find. Picked up "Ugly Fish" TB. I enjoy visiting this area!

A quick pickup on my way through this park! Nobody around today!

Nice day in the park. TFTC

Great spot. Cache was a bit depleted of interesting items, though. Put in a couple of new toys to make up.

Nice hide tftc. thankfully nobody else was around which made this a quick find

tftc, good easy find to kick off our oatley park expidition

nice quick cache, decent hiding spot!

This is far enough from the playground to make it a pleasant find. Very peaceful here, no mini muggles. This is a brilliant park and thanks for including the history on the cache page. Very interesting. I took the National Science week coin and left the Cougar Mountain Macaw coin.

Tftc. Dropped National Science Week TB

found it with help from geobuddy because i didn't have a GPS

nice hide

another day
another round
a beautiful day in sydney again
merci

First of day. 4 yo geokid found this one. He is starting to know what to look for and how to look! Took duplo toilet - left rocket balloon. TFTC. Great spot!

Found nice and easy early Sunday morning by Geodad and Geodog. No muggles big or little in sight. Thanks

Find #1204 - 8 for today. Found on 27/12/11 2:44 PM
Easily found as it wasn't well hidden. Signed log book and rehidden the cache a bit better. Thanks. TNSLLN

Found it easily and took Marg wooden doll tg0pft

Quick find in a good caching hidey hole,
TN, LEFT MARVELLOUS MARGE TB. Left a plastic snake too.
TN,SL. TFTC

an easy find in a favorite spot. cache is very bare, needs re-stocking. dropped my home made hair accessories. thanks

TFTC

Pleasant lunchtime find today. Not too many people in the park, as the weather was looking like it might rain, though still had to search in stealth mode. Easy enough find. I took The Spirit of Caching geocoin. Will try and get back in the next couple of days, as I was intending on dropping a pen[cil] off, which I forgot. TFTC.

Revisited this cache today when introducing muggle friends to geocaching. An easy first find for them. Thanks. Dropped Spirit of caching geocoin here to help it on it's way. No sign of the Lil Shamrock coin here though. Unable to sign the log this visit as the pen was missing. Perhaps the next finder could leave one?

Yay, thank you - our 300th cache (and on our 1 year anniversary of geocaching).
We had everything against us this morning... 2 flat tyres, 1 overheated radiator, 1 angry caterpillar operator... all on a 30 degree day. TFTC

Quick find after a barbeque nearby. Tftc.

Easy find one in the right direction
Great spot although the container was a bit wet inside

Today I finally managed to get to the park before the usual muggle invasion and soon had the cache in hand. This is a beautiful area of native bushland in the suburbs- well worth a visit. TNLN. TFTC.

Found it on a sunny Sunday afternoon, not to many muggles close by, Left Biathlon World Championship 2008 Badge, TFTC

Day two of my geocaching holiday around Sydney. Very good weather and some good caches as well. Soon had this one located - what a nice area. SL TFTC

I was out on a caching run with Usat31. Young miss Us found this before either of us. Right chuffed she was! Unsurprisingly this park has attracted a real concentration of caches over the years. We enjoyed having another excuse to visit here this evening. Thanks.

Out on a quick caching run through Oatley. This is a great park & have visited here many times over the years. Big Miss Us made the quick find & we sat & chatted all things caching before moving on.
TFTC
Cheers.

nice hide

3rd cache found on my birthday today-
"What do you want to do for your birthday"
"Go caching"
"But it's raining"
"So???"

Thanks for showing me this lovely park, MokoFuzz. Cache was easily found, as it was not concealed, but hopefully it's well covered now!

Nice easy find, didn't use gps. the park was very crowded, but all was good!
TFTC!

What a great spot for birdwatching...or listening! We had planned a day with 6 geocaches, but we ended up enjoying ourselves taking photos and talking to the locals so we only looked for three. Nice day anyway.

This was the first Cache I found and it was really fun then i went and found 3 more with my friend redribzy

Nice one.

yes

My second find with Beaverfox! Didn't use a GPS, found it after a little searching! Clever one!

Beautiful morning for geocaching. Our fifth find today ! Nice cache. TN; left pen; dropped off TB ('Lil Shamrock'). TFTC.

Another easy find for us today. TNLNSL. TFTC.

Team Gnome found today with Art Lady took TB & magic box toy left sandwich rubber
TFTC SL
Happy Hunting

We really enjoyed this location. We spotted several bird species on our way to the cache. The Kookaburra's (my favorite bird from OZ) were being nice to us and we got a few pictures. I think the birds were out because of all the rain. We got soaked a few times but it wasn't cold so it still made for a fun caching day and no muggles around in this weather. Dropped TB. TFTC

Only a few muggles about today, so this turned out to be an easy find.

Thanks MokoFuzz.

TFTC! Took geoboyfriend to find his first cache! He enjoyed this one

Nice spot! No mini-muggles around so found without hesitation. TFTC, NazzoR

Wow nice one, sending the coin on it way too see the world. I wonder what stories it has to tell.

Sending geocoin to cape town sth Africa.found nice n easy

Found by lil miss kita who is 7 she found while us adults couldnt lol!!!
awesome find very excited about the coin will be sending it back homw as ask to!!

A fantastic bushland area - I love it! Cache in good condition. TFTC

Another good cache in a great part of Sydney. Thanks MokoFuzz for the adventure and the cache.

Dropped of this trackable a couple of weeks ago in Oatley Park. We have some beautiful locations around Sydney!

Nice easy Find. TFTC.

Nice spot. This area is very peaceful...great spot for a hide. Left trackable and took 2 ready to place in other caches.

This one didn't cause me too much disturbance in the nice parklands. A quick walk from the car and a fairly short search had the cache in hand. Left some trackables. TFTC!

great cache found it on our return from another hunt heavy muggle activity but all good

I quick little cache but somehow I managed to jab my arm while retrieving it and bled like a stuck pig. No evidence on the log book though.
The park was surprisingly very quiet today.
Thanks MokoFuzz
