We looked for this one for a few minutes before being approached by the organiser of the nearby event who confirmed the container has definitely gone AWOL and needs replacing.

Went looking for The Geocacher's Cache before heading home but there were muggles playing around and it was getting dark so decided to give it a miss, checking my phone there was another close by so headed for that one. Easy find and had the place to myself except for the mossies (suggest doing this one in the daylight to dodge them). The hint was spot on.

As we are going away we were on the hunt for TB's and noted that this cache contained one. We thought we'd take this opportunity to check the cache while we were there. Unfortunately, the TB is NOT in the cache. If possible I will note the TB as missing on the TB page. Cache otherwise in good condition but log book full.

A quick night time find.

We've been coming here regularly for a while and forgot to look for a cache! Found it not long after someone else - always makes us wonder if we missed them by much??!!

Driven past a few times but to many muggles. Did an early morning run.
 
22-Mar-15
Lots of muggles around today so hard to be discreet. Found it after a bit of searching and thanks to the clue!

09-Mar-15
Great find, great park, kids had fun, thank you
 
28-Feb-15
Now the fence was down, I thought I would give it a go.

Took longer than I thought as my GPS was saying it was in a different spot.

Nice hide TFTC

Sorry I was still in wrong one. Have NOT BEEN to this location yet.
 
13-Jul-14
Was at gz and couldn't find it anywhere, I rang a cello cacher who has found this one, they told me where to look, but it appears to be missing. I believe it needs replacing.
 
06-May-14
Had two goes at looking for this one in between lots of muggle activity but without any luck. Being an eclipse container I was working on the assumption that it was a magnetic so I searched every seat, picnic table, lamp post and everything else that looked remotely metal, so maybe I was incorrect in my assumption. Maybe on my next visit to Mackay!
 
No muggles at 8.40 pm. Happy Easter
 
11-Apr-14
Found it randomly while cooking. Thank you for making our evening even more delightful. Smile

04-Mar-14
This was my second attempt at finding this cache. Last time I tried on a weekend. Big mistake! Today, I only had one muggle to contend with, and he had his head stuck in a novel, so the coast was clear for a quick grab. TFTC Gribbo71. SL. [#527].

Thanks for the geocache. Our first one Smile
