Muggled again. Very sad to see this one go, but maintaining it in such a high muggle area is proving very temporally and financially expensive. Hopefully someone with more time or resources will enjoy the opportunity to place a cache nearby!
Found the little bugger!! My geocaching son was on a school excursion so I had my eyes out for it! No log. No maintenance needed.
Cache not in correct location, couldn't check thoroughly due to wedding, will replace asap.
Unfortunately, after hunting around for more than 10 minutes, no luck in finding the cache. And muggles were starting to converse in the area so will come back and try again another day.
Took a moment with a halloween parade in the bandstand.....but the eagle eye ro spotted it. Tftc
This one took us a while 
I went with a friend who had already found it and they had trouble finding it again!!! Hahahah TFTC

Hung around playing some boules until the wedding was over, then the search was on. Teamwork was required for extraction, signing and repacking which were all very delicate operations. Very clever cache. Loved it.
Yebo kimsy and dimant
Great park to rest and play and eat and have fun and geocache
The camo blends in really well

Black Sheep Boys didn't have much luck. Will come back tonight when less muffles around.
2nd time have tried to find this one and still no luck ... 3rd time lucky hopefully
Finally found this with the help of fellow geocachers, the Dargn's. We'd probably still be looking!!TFTC

Finally drove past and it was quiet enough to have a look.
Started to look then realized we weren't the only ones trying to be discrete, asked the question and yes Jennymarj were on the hunt too.
Soon spotted the cache, took a bit to get the log out but we both had it signed and back before a wedding party turned up.

Sneaky little thing very tricky indeed. Couldn't sign log but took a pic as evidence tftc
Found it, but couldn't easily get the tightly wound log out of its shell. With the damp weather, I decided to pass on signing because I was concerned even if I could get it out, I may not get it back in...
Certainly did take us a while between muggles n a very clever hide. Hint n logs helped a lot. TFTC
Oh, now I get the hint. Extra big thanks for this cache in particular as it was a geokid's first find. Needless to say he was pretty darn chuffed with himself when he located it before his experienced team mates!
My son and I headed out this morning to find a higher than one point five terrain cache, right in Newcastle there are only three or so we hadn’t found and we chose this one. We walked up and down the pergola looking high and low. Junior was running around everywhere and we were getting close to giving up, when I finally found it. It seemed to be approximately opposite side to where my GPSr said the coordinates were and the hint was somewhat misleading. But we were very glad to finally find the nano (!!!). After we went for a walk down the stairs towards the ocean and looked at the garden that was halfway though being planted/looked after. When we returned to GZ there was a band setting up on the pergola, glad we found it before they arrived (it would have been a bit more difficult then...). We had a go on the playground nearby, the rope bridge was very tricky, so we mostly just went on the swings (it had rained that morning so we could not go on the slide). After we went to the hobby shop and bought a kite (it is a cool little bird), then we went and got comics, before going to a birthday gathering.
Thanks for the great start to our busy morning!

Log book replaced. Cache was in the wrong location, so it took me a while to find it. Please place cache back in the SAME location after signing the log. 10 metres from the original location is not helpful to me or other finders.
TFTC!! Very sneaky!! The log was full so we couldn't write on it. Took a pic instead =)
Wow, fun search at night, was just about to give up when our luck changed. TFTC
Also the cache log is full.
Also the cache log is full.
Awesome cache. BUT please be careful when reading the hint out loud. We got asked by a muggle if we were devil worshipers lol.
Found it second time round using all the hints in the logs and photos! Super small but super exciting to find. Kids loved it - thanks!
Yay!! Finally found it on our 2nd attempt! This time we circled & a voice cried 'Found it!' We hurried around & looked...and then spotted it! How good is that hide! Now to retrieve it... SL TFTC from a very happy team!!
Looked for ages with a 4 yr old and 7 yr old. We're geocache novices so probably need more practice!
So very tiny a wedding just about to start I take one last look in a tight squeeze and oh yeah I found it sneaky spot
Very few muggles around today other than a few in the kid's playground. Must have spent over an hour looking for this one but no luck today! Looking back at the logs and pics hasn't made me any wiser! We'll be back!
Looking for this while being shown around by my brother. The whole park was abuzz with muggles and it was very difficult not to draw attention. Had to abandon the search fairly quickly.
GPS was putting me off then decided to look around an there it was infront of me
