Found what was left of the cache.
Just a soggy log book on the ground. No container to be seen.
Sorry I didn't pack any spares or I would have replaced it.
No point in leaving the book there so I have taken it. Pity, it was a nice place for a cache.

No cache here anymore.
No container to be found.
Only a wet and rather sorry looking log book in the leaves on the ground.
Not to mention GPSr says GZ is 3 metres out in the water.
RIP

Found this one today with Irontoad. Unfortunately this log had gotten wet and muddy with the recent rains so we were unable to log a find in the logbook.
TFTC pocketrocket&friends - interesting park to visit and to know the history of.

Might be time to give this one up. Other cachers have already said what I wanted to. TFTN TNLN
Hello guys, my first ever cache. Found it but is totally waterlogged with no container. Could write anything due to the water damage. I liked the hide though.
Found the hide open, and full of water!!! The original log is still water logged and the replacement piece of paper is well on the way to being the same.
As other finders noted there realy needs to be another "water tight" container placed in this nice hiding spot. Maybe the cache could be moved a bit if it keeps getting muggled here, because it is a top spot and a great container too.
No swaps here.

First of Four for the night on the way to work.. This one was found in the service loan car whilst my car gets a service.. Thanks Pocket Rocket and Friends for the hide.. find #1602
Found 15:15, in the company of Muzza. I had been standing right above the cache, whilst reading through the cache description and logs to try and glean some clues [B)]
TNLN, CSI=3, thanks pocketrocket&friends.

We arrived just after 3:00 pm, and it seems the nearby school must finish then, because there was a long line of students passing by. But there were occasional gaps and the cache was found in one of them. Thanks for bringing us here, and for the cache.
Quickly found in between muggles walking past. As noted, needs maintenance: even the container is missing and the only log is the notebook page someone added in a separate plastic bag.
A great location - however the log is soaked.
Loved the goose - sitting on its rock in the middle of the pond.

While on my way home after been shopping I decided to stop and complete a few caches since it was such a nice day to be out.
There were a few muggles out for a walk around the lake today. I spotted what could be the cache hide, which it was so I sat on the rocks over looking the lake to do my paperwork. As has already been commented. The container is gone, it is now a hole in the ground. The single sheet of log paper is dry, don't want to touch the other log book.

See attached 'found log'. The Sistema is now missing and the log book exposed and sopping wet. The hide is still intact.
02/09/2011 23:42 The wife got home at nearly 11pm from her shift so I scooted out pretty quick to get a my daily box and found myself choosing this one. As I arrived at the car park I saw two cars parked nearby and was worried I was muggled again. Looking closer I saw no one about so walked off and at GZ I was gladly hidden from the cars. Searching for a few minutes This cache seems to have been muggled itself as the clever hide has no Sistema and only a sodden log book in the mud. I also saw an additional ziplock bag with a finders note inside. I placed the logbook into a fresh ziplock bag and the note as well but this cache is definitely in need of some TLC. I shall raise a 'Needs Maint' on this as well. TFTC pocketrocket&friends TNLN SL
Found a couple of days ago. Too wet to write on. Dont seem to have a lot of luck with PR hides, hoping for better luck next time. TFTC TNLN
Waterlogged, possibly mugged since I found garbage in there... But quite sneakily camo'd!

A bit of a tricky cache and while I was some distance away, GabGab came up with the goods. 2-0 so far. That makes her happy and me sad.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks pocketrocket&friends for this clever cache hide here today.

I found this cache with caughtatwork today. I found this one before daddy today. Thank you.

After a big breakky with pocketrocket&friends and harry_stamper I was told I needed to drop into this one on the way home. The cleverly hidden cache was quickly found and I was soon surrounded by birdlife, eager to check out what was in the container. I took a quick pic of the fearless birds (only inches away from me) and sent it off to pocketrocket&friends for a giggle. Thanks for the cache, only one more of yours to get, looks like a trip up to Colby is necessary soon!

What a great spot and a good hide. Lots of bird life swimming up to me as I sat there writing a log at 4:30pm.

Well, the birds like this spot, not surprisingly. At first I thought that the GPS was well off but once I found the clever hide I found that it wasn't so at all. Nicely done, thanks pocketrocket&friends.
While waiting to pickup youngest from school my wife and I went looking for this cache. I found it wife not happy. Caching a competitive blood sport.
It was too nice a day to stay in for lunch so I decided to head up here for a look. Initially I was looking for a nano or micro but a reread of the notes refocused my attention and not long after, I had the stash in hand at 13:35 after first thinking that it couldn't be there .
What a beautiful spot on such a nice day .
TNLNSL. Thanks pocketrocket&friends.
PS: The logbook is a little dampish but still fine for writing in at the mo.

We arrived in the nearest carpark just as the nearby school let all its students out [B)] .
After waiting out the flood on some nearby play equipment we then made a leisurely stroll down to GZ where the young daughter fed assorted ducks, swans and a goose some stale bread while I signed the log book. Perfect cover! .
Cheers pocketrocket&friends, thanks for bringing us to a great spot.

Looks like this has been found by a curious muggle but not taken! The lid was off, as well as the outermost lid, and contents strewn about... nothing seemed to be too wet though. Packed back up and re-hid. TNLN TFTC
Plenty of muggles about. Cache needs some maintenance as log book is wet. Clever hide
The muggles feeding ducks finally moved off. Stepped in doggie do but Cache found at 3:30pm. Nice camo. TNLN TFTC
One of many many new caches that have popped upp in this area recently.
This is a very pretty spot and popular with dog walkers this Sunday morning.
I took a seat overlooking the water and enjoyed the view and the way this one was hidden.

Found with my good mate Marty (Quasar3671). Last for this trip to Melbourne, and what a way to finish... I have a bit of a nostalgic story here. I used to live in Epping between the ages of 4 and 16. My mum, being a single mum, used to treat us with a visit here every weekend just about, to feed the ducks and other birds on the lake. We used to sit around the opposite side to the cache, so when i got here, a lot of memories were brought back. Thanks heaps for this one, and i have favorited it as well, for the nostalgia and memories. TFTC. Image uploaded.
After a good nights caching with Blacklegend, we decided to grab a few in the morning before going our seperate ways. This is a very nice spot which brought back memories for Marshy. Nice hide and thanks for the cache.
found #262 @12:03 PM nice hide I hope the water level doesn't rise to much tftc
Found with ShrimCacher, nice easy find with the light of my iPhone, TNLNSL TFTC
Got it at 12.15am but logged the date as 31/4/11 instead of 1/5/11, great hide loved the camo. Have spent many days (and nights) in this park. Tftc!
Finally, a cache in Mill Park!. I have been wondering why there wasn't one in the local area around here!. Nice camo!!
Found with GeoDad at 09:07. I went to the school behind this park and haven't visited it for a long time, the lake is looking more like a swamp now but the ducks were a legitimate excuse to hang around for a while. Nice camo, thanks for bringing us back here! Took TB.
Found at 11.45am on our way home from some local shopping. Had checked this one out and knew the area as Mrs 80 had spent many years parking here to pick up children from the neighbouring school. GPS sent us a little astray but when walking back found it easily. TFTC
Got the notification on the phone and grabbed 2 torches and we were off.Nearly slipped into the water but got a FTF.Very dark in this park.Left TB no523705. Thanks pocket rocket. Silky Seekers Brisbane
