I think it has been muffled. Look for an hour from one end to the other but turned up nothing.
Had two cracks at this...first time with many muggles, then later with no one around. No luck for me.
Find #453: Sit a Little Slow-ly on the 14 April 2015, 12:56 PM whilst out and. about at Sydney Olympic Park for geosisters national swimming championships.
Found quickly after following hint. Place was packed with muggles. Needs new log book. Is full.
Thanks for the cache dinkyfish!

Nothing here for me today. A shame after waiting until people moved on but we loved the playground.
Found on an afternoon out in the park with the GeoGrandsons. What a great place for kids; so much to do. The cache is in good condition but the log is in great need of replacement. We found a very small space in which to write FF!
Thanks for the cache, dinkyfish, it gave me a chance to catch my breath after trying to keep up with two energetic young men.

Noticed this was supposedly missing, but being in the area I thought that I'd look anyway. As I wandered along, my eyes spotted something odd and my fingers soon had cache in hand. Returned it where I found it. Log is full. TFTC
Really quiet in the park because of the rain. So nice quick find. Log book completely full. TFTC

Beautiful park along the Parramatta River. Nicely hidden.

Took some searching but found it in the end. Had a look with muggle brother. Enjoyable sneaky cache, thanks
#1520 - Found as per instructions. Playground adjoining was extremely busy on a Saturday arvo.
Nice catch in a nice location. Did not have pen so took photo of log as POF. TFTC!!
Found with quarksta on a warm sunny Sunday as we were completing a family bike ride around the park. As quarksta mentioned the coords seemed a little out and left us scratching our heads at first, however the clue made sense and after checking a couple of possible locations and waiting for muggles to pass, we soon had CIH. SL TFTC dinkyfish!
Found with Rheneas. Coordinates were not very accurate but the hint helped us to get in the right spot. Had to check a few of the available options before finally locating the cache. TFTC!
Quick find, good hint. Cute little cache might have been difficult with the muggles but if you knew where to look you can do it pretty stealthy. TFTC
Great hide, took us a while to interpret the clues. It was pouring rain when we went (committed!) so not a muggle in sight. But that also meant that we couldn't add to the logbook. With MrSmash and DingoMan007.
I found this with my geograndma. I didn't get what the hint meant at first but then I figured it out.
Nice quick find.

Easy to get, but some muggles exercising around.
Its a sunny and comfortable to walk around, sitting on a bench and just relaxing.

Found with Harris Family Oz whilst on a MTB tour of SOP. GZ was crawling with muggles on a warm sunny Sunday and whilst the geo-kids ran amuck, I quietly grabbed the cache. Many thanks dinkyfish
Went for a bike ride from Parramatta to Homebush on a sunny Thursday. Not as many muggles around here on a weekday enabling a reasonably quick find.
Great place here at the Armoury. Just had breakfast at the cafe and this was my FATHERS DAY reward Cache. Might go check out the others. Hardly any muggles about so easy find SL and on to next caches nearby.

We must wait a while because there are to much muggels. But than we can it good find. Thank you for the Cache

A quick find once I read the hint. Very well placed, and the smallest geocache I have found. Thank You!
Well .... technically, I DID find it. I just couldn't retrieve it to sign. GRRRRR
Muggles galore on this beautiful sunny Sunday afternoon (spring must be coming!).
Cycling up to GZ, I instantly sensed this one was going to be tough.
Sitting right over GZ were a bunch of parents whose kids are playing in the playground just up the slope.
Used my "darn, my bicycle got another mechanical failure" ploy, then managed to squat down low enough to actually see the cache - right in between four pairs of legs!
Waited a bit with faux-phone calls and other excuses, but those legs and their owners weren't going to budge until sunset, I reckon.
So had to abandon.

Virtually no muggles, followed the cache name and an easy find. Almost lost the cache when I replaced it as it rolled away. Used a tool to retrieve and then repositioned it.
Wow this part of Newington is tops. I've only ever been for disc golf and never knew about the barbecue and playgrounds.

Word to the wise.. Not recommended to be done on a weekend as too many muggles..
A nice Sunday morning's caching started with this one. I was prepared for a meticulous search having seen the log reports, but the first place I put my hands and the (new) cache fell straight out onto the grass below.
One of three easy finds today. TFTC

Today the ferry from darling harbour brought me up to oplympic park, searching for a bit of sun and some caches
Some muggles grabbed coffee nearby but I was able to find the little bugger without their attention

Took a seat while geo kid had a play. We sat down slowly and soon had CIH. Heaps of muggles but easy to get.
Had to have a coffee. Look a geo. Look lots of people. Let's all slide along. Got it.
This is our second attempt & finally found it. It was in the one place that muggles were sitting last time so we couldn't look there then. You definitely have to be willing to stick your fingers into the unknown. And cache creep is a real possibility. But still good fun. Also met a fellow cacher who couldn't believe we found it. Nice to have a quick chat. Found it with jemracer & bettyboopsie. TFTC.
Accidentally met some other cachers IRL while hovering round this one. Thankfully one of them came up with the goods - we were getting frustrated. And I SWEAR I searched that spot, haha. Tftc!
TFTH. Sooo many muggles around but snuck a find with Jemsis and BettyBoopsie helping. Great to meet a fellow cacher looking for the same.
Soooo many muggles around (it's school holidays), so couldn't have a very thorough look. But followed the description & hint, & still couldn't find it. Hope it hasn't been muggled or pushed out of reach.
Pretty sure I knew where to look - but either or fingers weren't long enough or is gone. .. Our better hidden I suppose.
Found on a sunny winters day following the hints. Took awhile to place back as many muggles were out enjoying the sun. Love this park. Tftc
By the way the log book was extremely full!! Had to find a teeny-weeny spot to sign
So second time lucky! I sent two very small people to pretend they were playing a game....success!!!
This one was very cool and required all of our cunning to retrieve. My big hands did not help.
Searched thoroughly on the way down but could not find. On the way back tried again with no success.
Suddenly had a lightbulb moment and decided to use the phone as a tool. Genius! Within moments this effective method yielded what was surely it.
Now we needed another tool. Looked around for the first idea but that only made things worse. Suddenly another genius moment... A loop! And there are plenty here too!
Went ahead and used both tools with great success... Hurrah!
Signed and headed off. Great fun, finally got this smiley.
Thanks for the cache!

Found it on a chilly winter Wednesday while in the area with 1/2akiwi. Not many muggles here today which was just as well as we had to act like a contortionist to find this one. The log is full and we had to add our names to another log, maybe with small logs like these people should only put their initials. TFTC
Too many muggles. I wish they would all go home. I even tried to take some sneaky photos with my phone so I could check out the terrain without looking obvious. No good.
I shall return!!!
I shall return!!!
The place was obvious but at the playground behind a couple was doing a workout. So stealth was required. It was not too difficult.

Found by geoson 11, he read the hint and looked down and it was a light bulb moment! TFTC.
Nearly gave up on this but stubborn old me wasnt going to give up!! Needed slightly longer arms than I have so the trusty pen came in handy for more than just signing the log! TFTC
Muggled away at first but came back for a more thorough look without any luck. Nice area though, so TFTC anyway!

I might have mistook that for litter sitting there like that.. Recognized it from the photo.
Done with GeoMax.

Once again we have come out without a pen - took a picture instead.
Have looked for this one several times before but got muggled out each time. School holidays and Easter Show should have this place buzzing especially on a beautiful sunny autumn day - but pretty quiet down here.

Too wet this morning to sit slowly or even a quick down and up but fortunately I could see it from the right angle so didn't need to bother.
I watched the only muggles at 7am, GPS rowers practising on the river for a while after doing the signing duties.

After success at 'armoury returns' i decided to try this one as i have been busting to turn this one into a smiley, so has it happens, i put my hand on it straight away and replaced back in exact same spot i found it with not too many muggles about. TFTC
#386 (4 of 7 today) (Streak day 44)
Lots of people having lunch made this difficult. Having read the description, knew exactly where the cache had to be once I arrived near GZ.
No easy spot of it...
So... clumsy me - dropping my phone down the gap.
Retrieved the phone & still couldn't see the cache, but my fingers found it fairly quickly.
Moved away to complete signing duties. Then returned to replace, hopefully unnoticed.

I was at the Armory picking up a few caches on the Australia Day holiday but did not attempt this one as the area was totally saturated with muggles. I had to drop my son at work in Silverwater this morning so I returned to attempt it.
It was wonderfully quiet at the Riverside Park which allowed me to search under and around the structure without interruption. I checked a number of likely places and finally put my fingers on the diminutive object. According to my GPSr the published coordinates are pretty spot-on.
I signed the log then spent some considerable time rolling it back up. I rewarded my find with a coffee at the Armory Wharf Café. It's a beautiful spot. Thanks dinkyfish.

Sneaky hide - signed whilst eating picnic then panicked as I realised hubby had thrown half the cache in our rubbish bag lol
We dug it out and returned cache tftc

Found New Year's Day whilst touring the great park areas.
Nice tricky hide and bigger trick to get log sheet but all good in the end.
Many thanks .

After attempting this cache with "JordsAU back in the start of the year. We came up empty hand. Being in the area to catch up with friends for a BBQ before heading off to the Sydney Thunder BBL match at ANZ stadium, I took the opportunity to try and see if i can atone for the DNF 12 months ago. and atone i did.
After a quick search starting from the Posted Co-ords i made my find about 10 m away yet still on the same structure indicated. I would say there is a bit of cache creep happening here.
What a beautiful spot for a cache lots of muggles around but no one was concerned with what i was up to.
SL and replaced back where i found it.

Found after a few fruitless attempts with help from hint. My pen ran out so took photo instead. Great spot but always full of junior muggles. Tftc
I'm fairly certain I was at the GZ but perhaps the cache was out of reach of my fingers. Next time I might bring an implement to help probe. Very high muggle activity.
Despite a hint from craziefour we couldn't find this one Will have to come back on a less busy day perhaps!
Tricky little hide in a VERY busy park. Had to really pick just the right moment between muggles & their kids coming & going. Actually got busted scoping the area by other cachers. Awesome name - very clever and creative! Cache was really hard to get hold of as it had crept along a bit too far - had to improvise a little. First of its kind for this cache container too. SL / TFTC
Found on the second attempt today. So many muggles about, but no one looked twice at us! Went to Armoury Returns 300m away, and found this cache on the way back.

On a warm sunny Saturday this place was muggled to the max. but it was still possible to find and sign using the clue and a little bit of stealth. TFTC.
