Having trouble finding the time to maintain this cache so i have decided to archive it.

Maybe need to check this one. We couldn't find it anywhere. 6hunters and not a sign of a cache

i will have to check to see if its still there

No where to be seen

Didn't find it. We looked & looked everywhere. Will try again another time.

Too many muggles this time.

On the way back from Maitland to Sydney I had to change at Hamilton. Over half an hour wait so I checked what was around and this only a short walk away. Found a cacher trail in the form of a broken fence so I jumped it to get in and jumped it to get out. Cache found, train caught and TFTC

Good fun

Very aprenshive about entering here, but you said it was OK, so very quietly looked around by torchlight. Found the cache, signed log and returned as quickly as possible. Lovely scents from the herbs. TFTC Morky70

To hard need a hint please

Nice easy one

Nice easy find

3rd time lucky

Nice garden

I eventually found it in almost the last spot I felt, sigh...An interesting place to find around here. Thanks.

Found it!

TFTC.

Didn't know this park existed, very cool. TFTC.

Got sprung! Did the old " it's ok I lost something but I found it " routine, it worked a treat.

Yay found it without any hassles TFTC

This garden is amaze.

TFTC signed log bring your own pen

Nice hide. Lovely stroll around the veggie garden. No muggles in sight. SL. TFTC.

Did a night adventure with theoddintodd and whereswendy. Be careful of spiders! Wouldn't mind a quick schooner too

Thought it was going to be an easy cach...we were wrong. Did it at night was cool but scared of spiders.

#85 - looking in my handwritten logs today to log #86, I realised I'd never logged this after we found it. As I recall, Cherie was up for the weekend and we'd decided to tackle some of the Wickham lot. This one took us a few minutes to lay our hands on after second guessing ourselves, but we manages in the end, which was more than we could say for the other few we attempted that Sunday.

After being thwarted at Fig-ure out your roots by a muggle sitting staring at us while wandering around we drove on down here. Spent some time wandering back and forth outside the fence decided that it must be in the garden so in we went.
It then took a fair bit of searching around and the aid of a stick to find the well hidden little cache.
Thanks to Morky70 for the cache and for letting us know there was a garden here.

Found with Steam koala

larms_ did the leg work, I basked in the glory from outside the fence.

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Felt a bit conspicuous entering the community garden via the bowling green, especially under the gaze of the elderly men on the verandah. Got out the camera (as a cover) to take a few snaps of the tiny pineapples and some other unusual plants as I closed in on GZ. Found several examples of “camo” that matched the clue but no visible cache so expanded the search eventually returning to the obvious for a more thorough investigation. Glad I didn’t blindly stick my hand into to the unseen, not only avoiding spider webs but also a cranky blue tongue lizard I made eye contact with. With still no result, was about to give up when something caught my eye from a different angle and an ultimately easy hide was logged.

Quick grab on a busy day. Grabbed trackable. TFTC

nice spot to stop for lunch and a time out.

cheers

Lovely lil garden, dropped off a TB. TFTC

Lovely garden - perfect lunchtime cache for me too - TFTC

Awesome, I love the garden and where it was placed it

Great place the people who use this should be very proud. Thanks for the chance to play on here

What a delightful little garden. TFTC.

Found this with a friend who introduced me to geocaching but because I hadnt became a member I didnt sign the log, now im addicted. Went back on my day off when I was around the area and signed the log. TFTC

Found whilst in Newcastle for the weekend.

SL TNLN TFTC

Quickly found this one after exhausting all possibilities. Tftc

Had to wait for a muggle gardener to finish her business, but that done it was an easy find. TFTC!

Easy find. Forgot to bring a pen though... doh!!

Found it yeahhhh buddy I love lamp

Nice and easy

3/3

Wow didn't even know Newcastle had a vegi garden.

Nice veggie garden

TFTC

Great find! My kids loved exploring the garden. No pen in container, and didn't have one on me. We left a home made necklace and glass pebble.

Took a bit to find which tyre it was

found after a little bit of searching

Good find on a not so good weather day.

SL TFTC

The friendly Police came to find out why we lurking by torchlight Lucky one officer had heard of geocaching TFTC Great fun

What a wonderful garden. Had a chat to one of the volunteers about the garden. A credit to these people. Enjoyed this find. [:x]

8243 caches found

needed the hint

Took: Nothing
Left: Nothing
Thanks Morky70 for the hunt today

Took 5 min yes happy

Great location and the locals are really nice as well.

This one must be popular, one of the locals found me snooping around and said "your getting warmer". Explained to him what its all about, and you never know it just might be his first.

My partner was calling in to her head office just a block from here, so while she was there I went looking for a couple of caches. The sprinklers were on here, so I was trying to dodge them, find the cache, log the find and replace it without getting wet. I wasn't successful with the "not getting wet" part. TFTC

Great location, lots of adventures here.

On our bike ride around the park, we came past the veggiepatsch, looked around a bit and logged it!
My new little co's were wrapped and so were the mosies!

Headed to Newcastle today with Liz & Bruce to find a few caches & to visit the many locations around town. A nice quick find after arriving at GZ. Geo hubby came away with a radish that one of the locals had given him.

We were able to meet up with friends DiMorgan and got together to do some caching around the Newcastle area. It was a fun day out and this was one of the caches we were able to find.
Thanks to Morky70.

Easy find!
Lovely place with friendly people.

Very punny.

Could not locate, searched every tyre, I fear kerby with one y may have grabbed it, can co check?

Beautiful little place

Quite a few muggles to avoid! Our first cache!

Found it. Lots of people having beers

Gorgeous garden. Loved the furry chickens with fluffy hats. Yay!

Found this cache while on holidays. TFTC. Cheers

Met some Muggles tending the Vegies. Had to wait for them to take a break, TFTC

Approached gz and found the cache. A weird friend approached us, kerby, with one y. He was a bit strange but nice. He asked us some confusing questions and we knew we needed to get out of here right away. he promised to not tell anyone the cache was there or move it. TFTC

That was a great hide. Was able to find it even with a function going on in the bowling club. No one cared about two grown men playing in the sand.

2nd time here

Nice spot nice hide TFTC

Found the cache in a matter of minutes. Nice spot. Never been there before. Found with Patches108. TFTC

Came here today hoping to get this one but volunteers were out in force working hard clearing up weeds etc. We were taken on a tour by one of the volunteers who explained what it was all about. This type of community garden is growing in popularity, which is good to see.
Unable to discreetly search out the cache (and having a pretty good idea where it is) we decided to come back another day when there is no on e about.

Good to see evidence of community industry! Good spot.

Checked them but nothing there

Was in the first one we checked. Nice little garden. Thanks for bringing us here.

Didn't know this place existed

Checked with the greenkeeper who knew nothing about it but I felt a little less conspicuous as, for the second time, I went hunting, TFTC Morky70!!

Found at 10.05am GAFF3 in the company of Robmc. We were looking in the wrong spot for ages as we thought that over the fence was private property. Eventually headed there and can you believe it - we looked in every one of those things and it was in the last possible one! How does that work!!
Thanks Morky70.

Our second veggie patch today - quick where is a cache at a butchers for some balance?
We looked outside and didn't have much luck, so we consulted the clue. That cleared it up a bit. Even then we search all of them, and it was the final one that came up with the goods - just one of those days! I think we annoyed several of our six-legged friends.
Thanks, Robmc.

Nobody in the veggie village today except for the caretaker who kept a bit of an eye on us from afar. Heard of these places but never seen one before, really inspiring and some fascinating plantings going on. Loved this cache, thanks Morky70.

This is pretty interesting.
Managed to look everywhere and miss it, had to go back again. Doh!
All good though, and lots of people gardening and looking around today.
Thanks for placing this cache, cheers GUIO

Did this one with noodles while riding our bikes throughout newcastle.

Tftc!

Boo ya!

Pencil dead...Gardner looked at us a bit strangely but kept working

First one I checked. Lucky guess. Nice easy find. Didn't even know this place existed. TFTC!

Nice location

Sweet garden. I especially love the cubby..!! Tftc.

took nothing, left a poker chip

Oooops I apologise for the attempt at humour by spikeymikey, it was about as funny as his driving today. Thanks for the cache.
