Logs
As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, 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.
I finally checked out this cache and It seems someone has cleared out the area including the cache. A little annoyed but will try to relocate asap.
I made the trek up the hill and then down again only to find GZ seems to have been cleaned up a little by someone keen on trying their chainsaw out. Cache was no where to be seen, I then read the logs and realised i was not alone.
Might check this out after to work today to see if it's still in it's spot.
I would have thought finding a 3 litre container would be a straight forward task but alas I came up empty.
A bit troubled, could not find this cache, having checked all over.
Also reading jkcourtz DNF, makes me wonder if the cache is even still around.

A easy find, once the gps started to behave. Particularly since I had already found a similar one on the other side of lunch. Took nothing left nothing
Cache found in good condition and located fairly easily. Good cache and nice walk. SL TFTC
Took a bit of searching, was well hidden. Also spotted a nice big lizard that we took a photo of!
Daylight fading fast. We had to pick up the pace to get CIH before darkness fell - no torches...
While working in the area I park on the edge of the lite industrial lunch spot in a dead end st. then walked up the hill to find this cache.It was nice a quiet except for a couple of barking mad dogs but I found the cache with no problems and it was in good shape with all its contents safe and dry.
I SL and look at the stash and returned safe.
Now on to the next one over the hill.

Walked over the hill from Fun in Faulkland - that hill didn't look as big on Google Earth! Was half expecting to see an old trig point up there.
Dead quiet today and rain was imminent so headed to the likely spot to make a quick find. Nice to see a regular cache well-stocked with goodies for a change. No geokids with me so no trade.
Thanks!

Reperio at 1945. Wasn't sure what the terrain would be like walking here at night, but after parking in a nearby street, I was surprised to find the area very open, and a really nice walk under the moonlight.
Gratias.

Will be out on Saturday to give this cache some maintenance. Thanks for the head's up.
Whilst we were in the area we thought we would have a go at this one, it was refereshing to find a decent sized cache for a change, it seems to be rare around these parts.

What a pleasant surprise, an interesting patch of bush, good views and at the end a good sized cache. Nice change from nanos. Thanks TS and Sammy.

Had to check a few trees before I found the right one and there was the cache. Slightly squelchy walk up from the parking spot today after the week of rain. Left Firesafe geocoin. Thanks Treasureseeker87.
A simple hide, in an obvious spot, got to love easy finds, especially when there is a growing number of hard to find hides popping up around here. Thanks Treasureseeker87.
Found this one after searching where I thought GZ was but found it by chance in diffrent area not far from published coordinates TFTC log bag needs to be replaced.
A nice simple walk and find after a day of harder stuff on both accounts. Thanks for showing us this lovely, well maintained park.

Well done!~A nice standard cache close to suburbia and well enough into a little bushland to pass the muggle test...well hopefully anyway. We didn't see any trackables within though. Thanks for bringing us here, TNLN
First for the afternoon, was an easy find with a caching trail starting to form already.
No bush Guardians this afternoon

I would say that the coordinates are about 8-10 meters off, but the hint really helped. Took TB Reise Flink.
On our way back we got sprung by a concerned neighbour who wondered what we were doing in the bushland that she and her husband had maintained and were caring for. After explaining what we had been doing, she was much happier, and no longer concerned.

Parked in a nearby street and walked to GZ. Cache is in good order, did like the great log book.
Took TB and left GazMag Pathtag.

Neither Sammy nor his friends were around to challenge me when I arrived at GZ on an almost spring-like winter's day while driving back to work from a nearby event.
In fact, I saw no-one at all around -- no dog walkers, no neighbours, not a soul . . .
This is one of the great things about visiting local parks at 1pm in the middle of the week.
Published coordinates seemed pretty good -- maybe 5-7 metres out -- certainly close enough for the clue to do the rest.
Container was in good shape, apart from the detached external sticker, and the contents were dry. TNLNSL.
Many thanks to Treasureseeker87.

Our First Cache. Took some time getting there as I gave the Kids the GPS and told them to get us there. They found it petty Quick and are now in love with Caching. [Finally getting Children Outdoors]
All Sammy's mates were out today, with a fair cacophany coming from the various houses we walked behind. Thankfully the cache was well away from the houses, and I found it fairly easily as I was still stumbling around, trying to get a fix on GZ. Then we realised there were some trackables in the car we had meant to drop off, but I didn't feel like running the canine gauntlet a second time. Thanks
As we walked up the back of the houses we were being watched by a local mum feeding her toddler. But the cache was far enough away that she lost sight of us. This was a quick easy find once we arrived. The rain has removed the sticker for the outside though, so now it's inside the cache. Nice to find something bigger than a micro!!TFTC
Now that the rain has finally stopped, I'd thought I go and get this cache. I have been in this park before and had a bit of a idea where it might be hidden. The GPS gods were playing up and I couldn't get a good fix on GZ, so I took the hint and had the cache in hand and found that extremepc had beaten me for the FTF. So I'll settle for 2nd to find. Thanks Treasureseeker for bringing me here, the sunsets from the top of the park are just beautiful this time of year.

Of the three local caches I picked this one to do first, after all the rains of late I thought no one else would be crazy enough to go traipsing through the boggy parkland. Looks like I was right! Another FTF for me!
