Logs
As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been a number of months since the last owner note. I'm archiving it to keep it 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 us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll 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.
Did not realise the current listing and as we were in the area dropped in. Not keen on caches around playgrounds at the best of times, especially if I'm on my own - lookes suspicious. Geodog found a new talent by climbing a tree, thats a first! But no cache.
The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 30 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness. If you require more time please be sure to post a note (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the page and post a note every month or so to keep everyone up to date.

Searched high & low, under & over all to no avail... Searched here along 4 pairs of eyes... No luck... Will throw this on my watch list & wait & see...
Along with Snap Happy and Happy Pants, it wasn't such a happy evening as we failed to locate this cache.
Luckily no one in the park today so made the find fairly easily and moved on. Strange park, bit of a waste of space all that back section. TFTC.
Gunks, TigerAd, Geodog, Geotorch and Geopen on a Sat night caching, hoping to find enough to justify a Malteser Mcflurry reward. TFTC
Out on a bike and cache and happily found the park empty despite a beautiful Sunday. Found the cleverly constructed hide and assume the CO lives nearby.
Thanks dalz.
Sadly dropped my pen here and had to ride back for it.

The plan for today was to reach and exceed the 2000 find milestone that has taken me just under 2 years to reach.
Once again team up with my caching wingman ahomburg as the plan was to attempt "Valley of Darkness" as the milestone cache and due to its rating and history it was best done with another for safety.
Was on the way to the Valley and was keen to stop by and attempt this one. I had attempt this one many months ago on 2 sperate occasions but each time the place was too hot with muggles so had to give it a miss. Well this morning the coast was clear and a quick find. TFTC dalz

Today was another Saturday caching run with my partner in crime Sedgwick Dave. The day started out a little bit overcast but cleared up, the sunshine came out for a fantastic spring day.
We parked the car nearby and were glad to see the playground was muggle free. We were able to search without giving away the cache location. A quick find was made, although it did seem a bit out in the open. Some muggles entered the playground just as we were leaving, great timing.
Thanks to dalz who for the cache. TNLN.

Found this one at night, so I tried to be quiet and not disturb neighbours over the fence.
found this while out with Paco Aliandro. Easy enough cache to find. cheers tftc
Out and about on a mission with ProBleMatiKal. Pretty quick find, log signed and replaced. 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.
No mini muggles about on this cold late afternoon. Cracka1 spotted it. Nice camo.
Found 1935hrs. Think a muggle neighbour walking her dog was a bit worried with two people in dark clothes armed with torches and recovery tools about to walk into the park next door. Anyway once reassured was very interested in geocaching so maybe there will be another geocacher around soon!! TFTC
Found with nirgalagrin... now I have my own account.
16:01
After spending the last couple of days cleaning the house, it was time to go out and play. Geodaughter got some good navigation practice while I played chauffer.
Now the hard part... where to cache? Over the Chandler bridge, then head east, looked like a plan.
Nobody else around this afternoon, so we had this one signed nice and rapidly... if the younger daughter had been with us, we would definitely have taken much longer to leave.

Quick find on the way home from work. Definitely not 3 star difficulty! Thanks for the cache.
Found it. Was a bit suspicious about the muggle on the swing but he wasn't worried about us.
Looks like kids had found it and was out in open. Tried to reside might be worth a look and reside it. Tnln
On my way home from Mothers Day lunch and decided to grab the caches along the way. Thanks for the cache dalz
03/05/2012 21:43 Sometimes you just have to wonder who creates these GPS units as I was sent in all directions to get to the park and indeed I went off-track to drive down Trainor street as the GPS wanted me to park in Berry street and then walk through someone's house. So I set off with GPS in hand for this neat little suburban park and am soon at GZ. Hunted around for a little while then I saw something odd, which I checked further and the cache was in hand. Signed and returned all with no-muggle activity (thank goodness).

Geo daughter's on a win today, found her third while we were only half way across the play area. Had a good play in the playground afterwards. The sunset from here was amazing, red and orange. TFTC.
The clouds and rain lead my GPSr astray for a while but I was sure the cache would not be disguised as two big dog turds. Therefore I looked around to find a much more appealing hide!
Thought I'd do some caches in my local area and this sounded like an ideal suburban park to take my beagle companions and a friend. Fortunately a family was just leaving the playground as we arrived. Found cache quickly and easily at 3pm. Great camo and a nice hide. TFTC dalz. Took stingray, left highlighter, SL.
Found at 11:20 AM GAFF1 in the company of maccamob and Robmc. As expected the woofers started to alert everyone in the neighbourhood of our arrival. So a quick search and we were out of there.
Thanks dalz
Thanks dalz
Found by Mary & David, with pprass and robmc, at 1120. Our luck with these playgrounds/parks held as we had the place to ourselves. A nice hide awaited us, although it will be readily recognised by most cachers. A pause to log our find and we were on our way again. Our thanks to dalz.
found @ 11:45pm, find # 1224.
Out on a bit of a night caching run when I came across this one, went for a walk through the park and made my way to GZ where I spotted something NQR and on closer inspection it was indeed what I was looking for.

Lovely wee park, and a wonderful hiding spot. Nice work! A bit damp, but nothing too bad. Quiet day, lucky for me!
Second for today, about 16th on my visit from NZ.

Found @ 14:40. This was find two of six this afternoon. I used to visit this park many moons ago as my wife used to live very close. The play equipment has all changed since my last visit. A quick find as I spied the discrepancy from afar. The coordinates seemed a bit off for me but that could be due to tree cover. Took gorilla, left stingray, signed log and had fond memories of midnight swings. Thanks for the cache.

Since my other half had a date with his Mother at the Opera today, I decided it was the perfect time to nip out and pick up a few guilt free caches. Having passed a couple of hours caching with Pathfinder24, I dropped him home and headed out again on my own for a few more caches on the way home..... OK they were a massive detour, but can’t be helped! On arrival at the reserve, I noticed a couple and their dog seeming to be having a very deep and meaningful conversation on the play equipment and I wasn’t sure if I would be able to make the find. I walked around them and they didn’t seem to notice, so I decided to have a go. I found the cache quickly, it’s very well done dalz. Thanks for the cache
After teen muggle issues last attempt (entering the park as I approached so I gave it a miss), today I tried in my lunch break with much better success. Quickly found after doing a scouting visit a week or so ago, logged and left before any chance of muggles dropping in. TNLNSL TFTC
Bold hide - Coords lead us straight to the hide! At first I thought it had to be a diversion but obviously not .... neat little hide
Thx for the hide dalz

Our last for the day and not too soon as the rain started coming down not long after we left here. A nice easy find, quickly spotted by Ms Mini & kindly retrieved by caughtatwork, who we were out with today.
Took Chinese pendant. Left bag of marbles.
Thanks dalz for the cache. A nicely built little hidey spot.

The final cache of the day and one that was quite well done, but we spotted it as soon as we arrived. I think a few thousand caches under you belt does that.
Took nothing, left nothing.

#928 Took the opportunity to do a couple of caches in this area after visiting someone in nearby Epworth Hospital (well, reasonably nearby!). Something caught my eye straight away here so it was a quick find. Thanks dalz, appreciate the effort you put into the hide.
Number 2 on a morning bike ride with the geokids. We struggled to the top of the hill but then regained all the energy when they spotted the playground. I never knew this was here.

Caching in Mont Albert north today. As soon as the rain stopped, I headed to this cache. Found the cache very quickly. There wasn't anyone in the playground which made it a wholelot easier. TFTC
Not a muggle in sight today so just walked up and found a nice little construction. TFTC SL

More muggles walking dogs and a gardener too to stop me during a lunch time walk. Will try another day!
Out with my Geoson to grab a few caches today.
We searched for 20 minutes without success, when geoson became bored.

This should be an easy find but there were muggles in the area at the time (about 5 pm) so I decided to give it another try later.
Thought that there was someone in the playgound, but it was only a hooded jacket that had been left behind hanging on a post. With the place deserted I was able to search in peace, and after a few circles of the area spotted something out of the ordinary. Thanks dalz for the cache.
What a great little park. Delightful welcome by five pink cockatoos, who didn't seem bothered by me, but it was a local dog that sent them screeching eastward! Easy find. T4TC I wonder if the neighbours who have gates opening into the park are cachers??
Nice hide; I hadn't seen one quite like this before.
Playground muggle free at dusk on a slightly damp day.

After an enjoyable visit to the Old Melbourne Gaol in the morning, I thought it was time to locate some geocaches. A nice find in a good area. SL TFTC
The playground was deserted which was a really good start to the hunt.
A good hide with some nice touches to set it above the ordinary.

21:05. No.6 with CamBendy. For first cache this is a really nice hide. I got distracted by some blue paper hidden under the leaf litter that, by torchlight, looked a lot like the colour of systema container clips. Turned out to just be rubbish but then ... what's this? A nicely hidden cache. Thanks.

A quick find on a lunchbreak. I'm glad the day was pretty bleak so that no one was at the playground and I could search in peace.
Cheers dalz, thanks for bringing me to a pleasant spot that I would have never known about otherwise.

Muffled at three other parks meant this was the only find (or more accurately only look) for today. The geokids enjoyed playing at four different playgrounds though. Found while the geokids were having a quick play. Took puppy, keyring and shell. Left spy thing, compass and soccer ball.
I was in the area for a school excursion and grabbed a few caches while my passengers were at Box Hill Tafe, my gps had me in the corner near a gate, the cache was not there so I widened the search a little and found the nice hide.
Found this one at 09:15 while on the (extended) way to work this morning. I'd had a look for it once before without luck but a hint from the LZZs was enough to help me find it this time.
