Well checked this one a while ago and the gap that the cache was in has been concreted up. The cache is now a time capsule. May find a new place for a cache as this park deserves one.
Searched nothing there, so bring Whitepaws9 which she did found it and yes it's missing as change new Pole with full of cement.
If its in the light pole. I do not believe i t is their anymore unless it has crept up into the middle hollow bit, in which case it will need to be rescued. Will put a needs maintenance, that can always be deleted as maybe it was somewhere else.

Ended up doing sit ups next to GZ (no muggles to laugh @ me TG!) - nothing there
i found it.
i could see it.
but i couldnt reach it.
there was a tool at G.Z. but that was no good.
it was too far in for my hands.[:x]

Much acting needed here.. Watching for muggles, pretending to look for possums and then once the cache was in hand to stretch on the fence as we signed the log. Mind you we weren't exactly dressed for exercising! Thanks for something different. Tftc.
Found at 1.45am with Burge on a very humid night caching run. An easy grab with no one around. TFTC.
Another very easy cache. We both laughed on arrival as we knew where this one was. Tftc tnln sl
Found by Mary &B David at 1840. Thought we were back in the USA with a cache like this. Looks like a popular park, with joggers, doggers, and littlies training. All far enough away, though. Our thanks to team coxy.
I've been here a couple of times now, but was muggled every single time. Much easier today in the company of PrincessDiala and colee_babee - and the Cup certainly helped. TFTC
Out on a caching day with coley_babee and lochb to clear out annoying multi's and solved puzzles from our maps.
One the way to the next multi cache, we stopped to make a grab at this one.
We suspect most people were inside watching the races.
It was hidden where we expected it to be located.
Thanks team_coxy for this cache.

After a not so great find, we headed out along our course to this cache.
parking as close as we could to GZ, we jumped out of the car and headed straight for the cache.
nice and easy find, very similar to others I have found.

Soccer players made the find a little tricky but they were so engrossed in their game it was actually quite easy TFTC
Had to wait for a muggle to finishing exercising her dogs then made a quick find in a logical place. TFTC
An easy find but many muggles! Sat around where we knew it was hidden, until the muggle left. As it is Sunday afternoon it was exceptionally busy - we reccomend coming early in the morning or in the evening

Thanks for the cache; despite muggles an easy find.
My shoelaces are retied. And just for once I had real laces to tie!

Found at 10.35 pm. After attending a dance just down the road a bit and wanting a cache to fill in the calendar Mrs 80 had looked for one that could be done on the way home. Found this and realised it was close to where much of the summers had been spent - training at the nearby pool. Tonight it was the quick and easy find required. TFTC team_coxy
Appropriate to be doing this one in the middle of a thunderstorm. In fact we had better call it a night and go home in case the doggy is scared. Thanks for this one.
On a foule nights geocaching...I nervously approached a tall object and hoped the evenings electrical storm would keep its distance. I liked the little container and its snug dry log.
We were right on the money for location but took us a while to spot it! Beautiful park on a lovely sunny day! Creative hiding spot! Thanks!
Driving towards the nearby hosipital after work decided to do a few caches before arriving.
Just as I arrived at GZ it started to rain. This cleared all the muggles out of the park and allowed me a quick search. Rain was not good to get down low in order to find this cache. I was able to find and sign the cache quickly before getting too wet.

Not what I was expecting but if I had read the title of the cache more carefully then it would have made more sense.
No one about at 7.45am this morning.

Nice and easy find on a sunny day. Muggle dog walkers and footballers but nothing difficult. TFTC:)
Easy find. had a hard time retreiving it as it had been pushed half onto the verticle surface inside.TFTC
I quick and easily find, with a hide similar to one of the roving Traffic Control caches. TFTC
Had to wait for a couple of elderly walkers before heading straight to this one.
Amazing what good co-ords will do. A cleverly placed and named cache, thanks again teamcoxy.

Nice and easy find today. Several muggles but no-one paying much attention to me. SL TFTC
I was wondering why the cache name, but as soon as I parked nearby, it became obvious. A very quick find.
Thanks, Robmc.

Found at 14:17 on a nice Saturday afternoon bike ride with a mate, while making the most of the sunny weather before winter sets in again. Some muggles playing soccer in the distance weren't going to deter us from finding this one. Nice spot, thanks.

Out on my lunch break, I took the opportunity to fill another day in my caching calender.
Parked nearby and ate lunch while waiting for a couple of dog walking muggles to clear off. Finished lunch, went out to search.... another dog walking muggle. I sat nearby and waited again. As soon as the coast was clear, I made the find, was signing the log and had to wait again for a muggle and her dogs to walk away before replacing the cache. This is a popular place for walking dogs.

I could see where others had been searching then thought about the name and bingo, a quick find just as it started to rain. Thanks team_coxy.

In the area for a medical appointment this one seemed like an ideal cache to grab on the way home. We were a bit concerned as we pulled up as there was a lady exercising her dogs off leash not too far from where we guessed gz would be. Fortunately by the time we had parked the car and were walking towards gz she had had enough and was heading out of the park with her dogs making for a very quick search and find. We signed the log and replaced the cache and as we were heading back to the car we noticed a couple more people with dogs entering from the other side. We can only hope that they are all carrying plastic bags.
Thanks Team_Coxy for the cache

Out with Team_coxy after dropping our scouts of for their first aid training.
Team_coxy sat and watched as I attempted to retrieve this cache during a soccer match. Finally had to resort a tool to get it.

There was a muggle family just near GZ when I arrived but they immediately left. On a Sunday there were other sundry muggle around so stealth methods were deployed and the cache found in due course. Thanks team_coxy. The 34th cache of yours that I have found.
Out with my good mate Marty (Quasar3571) tonight for a caching run around the Eastern and South Eastern suburbs. Short walk and signing the log shortly afterwards. TFTC.
Quick Find while with Slink1 when we both should have been doing something else with the wives TFTC SL - oops!
Out with my good mate Blacklegend (Marshy) tonight for a caching run around the Eastern and South Eastern suburbs. A nice quiet suburban street with plenty of apce to park. Walked the few meters to where we thought the cache may be located and we were signing the log shortly afterwards. Thanks for the hide.

Everytime I have looked at the name of this cache, I've misread it as Lightning Bolt. It is only now that I've come home to log it, that I realised my perpetuated error. And before going out there, I imagined how it would be hidden, but it wasn't.
The weather was overcast, and it was starting to rain when I arrived, but unfortunately, not hard enough to scare the muggles away. There was a father with two young boys practising soccer close by, and I was hoping that I could retrieve it without being noticed. Fortunately, the placement of the cache meant that I was shielded from their sight, and the cache was easily found, retrieved, logged and returned, unbeknownst to them.
Thanks for the cache, Team_Coxy.

There was a Japanese soccer team exercising on the
ground making searching impossible even with stealth.
Will come back.

As we are trying to fill in all the dates of our calendar that we haven't cached on we were scheduled to do a cache today, and yours was it as it wasn't too far away from home. We did it at the end of the day, but there were still people in the park. Fortunately that wasn't a problem, Good hide - TFTC.
Find # 821.
Arrived at GZ and waited for some muggles to clear the area then went over to the obvious spot for the hide and quickly retrieved the cache, signed the log and picked the right time to replace it before the muggles and their dogs arrived.

This I new what to expect.
Trouble was I had to wait 5 for the dog walkers to move on.
After they did, a quick look and I found the cache.
Not what I expected but a good one none the less.

While sitting down at GZ and pretending to play with my phone I retrieve the cache and log quickly sign.
A nice clever hide this one. This park at the time had a group of Muggles playing soccer and there was a house auction on near by, so can say that no one even notice I was here. casper....

Easy find with Mr_X_02 after seeing Carl Barron at St.Kilda.. Thanks Team Coxy for yet another cache.. dipped Go Go Mobile TB and nightcaching GC to mark the ocassion.. find # 1088
Things were pretty quiet here this afternoon, except for a man in a shirt and tie sitting with an attractive young woman in a car adjacent to GZ.
I was a bit wary that they might be watching me, but suddenly they embraced, and things began to heat up, so I was obviously not in their focus.
I wonder what the story behind this was, an office romance, cheating on a spouse, a harmless meeting, - caching opens up so many interesting issues.
Anyway, the cache was quickly found using the by now unnecessary shoe lace routine.
Interesting container, thanks team_coxy.
