My apologies for not doing this sooner. The container went missing and I hadn't gotten around to replacing it. This is a lovely little park and I figure it is time to allow someone else to place a cache in this area.

TFTC. We are at the CMCA rally in the Recreation precinct. We had a free day so what better way to explore the immediate area for a couple of hours. No luck for us. Tried every tree.

Just when I thought it was going to be easy, it wasn't. A quick stroll from our last cache, Sykkid and I decided we may as well. GZ was spot on, the clue basically demanded us to look there and couldn't see anything until......
No spoilers, just have to say you have to look beyond what is visually natural.
TFTC Very Happy

Beautiful spot to stop and listen to the birds! We had lunch and looked around to see if we could get an idea where we wanted to start walking after eating.
From our lunch spot I saw what I thought was the right spot based on the clues given and sure enough, there it was.

After finding Crawler country it was only a short drive around the corner to get to this one.

I was surprised by the number of tables and seats scattered through the area. I wonder if they get much use?

The hint was again used to narrow down the hunt and I soon uncovered the hide.

TFTC.

[font=Comic Sans MS]Hi there The AG's. We found your cache "Tropicana Treasure" at 11:35:00 AM today. This cache makes our find count 11236.
[Blue]
We thoroughly enjoyed our trip around the suburbs today. We started the day off by nominating a cache some distance away and then taking a route determined by our GPS to the next closest cache until we ran out of time and energy.
[/Blue]
Coordinate Accuracy: We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking. Wink
Cache Condition: The container and log book are in good shape.
Took: Nothing.
Left: Smiley Badge.
Thanks for the hunt today,
Regards
Ian & Penny.[font=Verdana]

My plan for today was to grab as many as I could around town on the geocycle. I chose a fairly central parking spot and set off hunting. Smile

It was noisy over the road, but those residents are not a worry. Wink It was quite nice to ride through this little bit of park on the bike. I much prefer the dirt to the roads. [^]

The hint for this one ensured a nice quick find thanks.

As we walked up to the cache all I heard was the dogs barking.... Whether is was a "I'm ok" bark or "help me" I don't know but my heart dropped and all I wanted to do was go and give them all a big hug.
TFTC. Great hide. Great spot to have a picnic or just to have a break from travelling all day.

I got a laugh reading the cache description while sitting at GZ, while listening to the endless chorus of barking coming from the dog-pound.
"Located in a nice quiet park not far from the RSPCA." Razz

So while the actual noise levels were not that low,
the "noise" generated by the passing muggles was very low Smile
I had the park to meself [^]

The cache was soon sniffed out and I put me paw mark in the logbook.

Distance from original: 141 feet or 43 meters.
S 24° 53.795 E 152° 18.328 are the new co-ordinates for this cache. Sorry it has taken us so long to fix it up. What with floods and life, we have been a bit busy. Cheers! The AG's

This geocache is up and running again : D
 
21-Feb-13
Have done a quick check and think that as the last log showed, the cache has gone. Will see if we can fix it. Cheers! The AG's
 
19-Feb-13
At GZ we found a knocked over tree, with what looked like a previous cache hiding spot. After having a thorough look around incase the co-ordinates were out, we then found what appeared to be a few swaps scattered on the ground.

Making an assumption on what we came across, it seems the cache may have been eaten by a mower after the tree had fallen Sad
