Spent some time here with taurus1955 and BentleyTB, but failed to locate the cache.
 
31-Mar-16
We were looking everywhere around the geozone but it wasn't in any of our obvious hides. I think the cache is no longer effective as we found on the ground covered in bark. Have replaced where we found it and suitable hidden.

Nice park, Tfth.
 
31-Mar-16
The compass took us everywhere but eventually we found the cache. Magnets are not working so magnets need to be replaced.

We were coming home from a singing function at the Mirboo North Brewery and decided to find just one cache on the way. This had us driving around a housing estate until we actually found the park. When we did however, it was an easy find. Handy to have Bek (9) with us for muggle cover.
 
25-Jul-15
Should have found that one a lot sooner than we did!

Drove to Leongatha to cache around the area, and to complete part of the rail trail.
Thanks to all the owners, for the effort that you put into the construction and the hides.
As we enjoyed the day, we hope to return to complete a few more.
Many thanks for placing this cache, know-mads, for us and others to find.

I was excited to bring my geotoddler to a park I frequented during family trips from our home in Melbourne to our holiday home at Venus Bay - Leongatha has always been a favourite stop and this playground was part of the reason why. It's now become a favourite stop for us from our new home in Traralgon on our way to the new holiday home in Inverloch. The geotoddler had a fantastic time in the playground while his parents hunted down a cache.

This would have been an easy cache had it been where it should be - the gps was incredibly accurate today and kept taking me to one particular side of the gz where the geohubby's keen eye spotted the squashed cache stomped into the ground about half a metre from where it clearly should be. After a struggle to re-inflate the cache, we managed to extract the log with some difficulty and sign it. The cache has been replaced in a likely location. TFTC know-mads.

With the others 'Targeting' the stores nearby, I shot down here for a look and soon had the stash in hand after the GPSr settled down at 15:30.

TNLSNL, although our Happy New Year to the cache geocoin had a visit to mark the occasion. Thanks know-mads.
