Logs
As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been a number of months since the last owner note. 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. Should you replace the cache after 30 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.
Dropped by for a quick cache check, and found that the cache has gone. Looks like a lot of the shrubbery surrounding GZ has been removed, and the cache with it....
Will have it back up and running shortly.

Searched for about 20 minutes and nothing, I knew what I had to look for from the hint, but had to leave the area as muggles were setting up near by for a picnic. I'll be back.

This one took way more attempts than I am willing to admit to find.
A fair few muggles so hard to get a good look, but even after multiple visits, still could not find.
With help from cache owner and a rainy day (No muggles!), finally found it.
Had walked past the spot many times, had looked at the spot many times, so all of that gives you an idea of just what a great hide this one was. So easy to walk past it and not see, although I have never seen a hide like this before.
Thanks again for the help CO and a great hide.

After a few DNF's we popped by today to check on the cache.
Yup, still there.
Good to go.

Found ground zero easily.
Had a 10 or 15 minute search, but could not find easily. Plenty of muggles, so was hesitant to do a more thorough search.
Will return and try again.

Took us longer than expected to find however was right under our nose the whole time
Our first for the day. Always nice to start with a find rather than a DNF. Surprised how busy the carpark was for a weekday morning. Lots of vehicles coming and going. I was on my own searching for this one due to the grevilleas which cause allergic reactions for one member of the team.
Let’s Go Scooting is back in a new format. The cache size and difficulty have been adjusted. The cache has moved about a metre or so from the original placement, but is still within accuracy guidelines.
Have fun!

Hi All,
Unfortunately the structure the cache was hidden in has rotted and fallen apart on one side, resulting in the cache laying open and exposed far too frequently.
This cache needs a rethink, so we are taking it offline for a few weeks in the hope of resurrecting it in a different format.
Cheers,
TheBidgies

Easy find by big geogirl. It was a little exposed, so I covered it a little with some camo. Should still be nice and easy! TFTC
This one was very easy it was sitting out in the open placed it back were it should be,cheers
Reperio at 1515.
After a great day was had at the Geocaching NSW event, the day was just too good not to caching, do headed off with FarmerFrenzten to this one where we came across plenty of muggles enjoying the skate park. We had an idea where the cache would be located, but had a hard time proving it until we methodically checked all the available spots.
Gratias TheBidgies.

Found with Marcus Vitruvius during a quick run following the Geocaching NSW 101 event.
A quiet park made for a relatively easy search and after a process of elimination we had the cache in hand.
TNLN and thanks TheBidgies for the cache.

Stopped off today and cleaned up the cache. Restocked it with new goodies and dropped off a trackable. After many reports of the cache being found exposed - a new layer of camouflage has been added. If you are searching for this cache today or tomorrow - please be extra careful as the glue is still drying.
Cheers.

Found completely exposed and with water inside, but log is ok. Cleaned it up a bit and dropped a TB, although I now see Captain America should have been there. He was gone. Replaced with a bit of cover. TFTC

Thanks for setting this up.

Nice and easy find. The cache was exposed so I added some cammo on top.
Dropped off CAPTAIN AMERICA TB for those who are helping Superheroes to fight Evil Nemesis #2!!

This one was so easy to find, that after doing our logging duties I covered it with some local camo.
Thanks TB.
Thanks TB.
Another Friday morning hunt with the kids. Lived here for 6 months now and never knew about this great little park. Fenced in play area & lots of path for scooters.
Nice easy one for the morning, & makes the kids happy.

Nice easy find and a geo calendar date filled in. I can imagine how busy it would get here on a good weather day.

Great raining day for finding a cache.

Like others have said below we went inthe rain to avoid the muggles. Got a very close parking spot with the GPSr only showing 7m. ( A little close and we could have almost rolled down the window to make the find). Saw the likely camo and then picked up the cache. Took it back to the car to sign out the rain. SL and replaced

No muggles around this evening as it was pouring rain outside. Of course we got drenched even though it only took us a minute to locate! We'd stopped off to do this one on the way home from work with Christine Vista, simply to help Groundspeak achieve a new record for cache finds on this day of the year. Oh, and because Choke wants a souvenir! TFTC Bidgies
Quite an interesting old skool skate park. Cache was found exposed, probably due to the heavy rain this afternoon.
Co-ords are spot on, and the container was slightly exposed, so this was a quick find. A few muggles about, but they were huddled under their umbrellas on this wet wet wet day, so ignored me. TNLNSL TFTC!
Another balnk day in the calendar and I'd been holding off this new one as it's relatively close to home. The rain stopped for an hour or so and I headed off. Plenty of cars in the car park but no one visible.
I only had a smartphone but it proved smarter than me, pointing me straight at GZ but I assumed it was wrong and headed further away returning to my first spot to make the find. Nice hide and a container that ticks all the right boxes.
Signed and replaced then admired the skatey/scootery park for a bit, should bring the geokids some day.
Thanks!

Needed a calendar find today, and with 2 new caches in the area, I veered off on the way to work to grab them. Pulled up on the road and walked over to GZ. A lone muggle was going some meditation and the gardener was mowing the grass. I got close and spotted the hide. Had to time it right so the mower man wouldn't see me. SL, TNLN and replaced again. Hope all was clear and I wasn't seen. Nice one for your first hide TheBidgies, well done and TFTC.

We weren't planning on going caching today, but while we were at the park Mr S checked the phone, and discovered there was a cache about 50 metres away. When this one was published we said we'd have to bring the scooters and find it, but didn't realise it was in this park. A quick find with the assistance of Shoes Junior. TNLNSL TFTC.
I love coming to this park, and today I brought my scooter for a bit of scooting. After having a play at the playground I went for a walk with Dad, and came back with the cache. Once we'd signed the log I helped him hide it.
I had a great time playing in the playground, especially climbing up the stairs. For some reason, Mum didn't like me doing that. I'm a bit little to go scooting, but I did go for a walk with my walker in the playground - does that count?
Both geokids grabbed this one when the scootering muggles had departed. Lovely shaded park for the kids on such a hot day. Swapped a couple of trinkets and retrieved Skippy travel bug. TFTC
A nice quick find despite a few people scooting. Just had to wait for them all to be looking the other way to make the grab. Then took it behind the bushes to do the signing duties. Dropped in a TB, then back for a stealthy replacement. Thanks TheBidgies.
Well as I sat near GZ awaiting for the muggles to pass I spot a person with phone in hand and circling GZ around me, couldn't resist and ask 'are you a cacher?' and the response I got was 'yes'. it was great to meet you Cybermew. This one wasn't quite on my way home but near enuf lol TSLNSL. TFTC
#323 and the 11th day of our January geostreak....
Saw this come up and thought it was probably easier than Alfyboy's new one so we whacked the sunscreen on and piled into the car.... pulled up right at GZ and made a quick find!! Opened the log to see a blank page! Hooray! *FTF* at 12:52pm!!!! we then went and played in the park for 45min - great park!!! Just after we had loaded back into the car we saw some familiar faces searching nearby.... it was Oldgill....! Nice to see you again!!
