Looking at the park this evening and feel I have located a new GZ for cache, will attempt to replace it in the next couple of days
Took a look at site and its been pinched again, need to look at another type of cache and location in vicinity, hopefully its back very soon.
Seconding the notion that a children's play area is a bad spot when there is a large park with many opportunities to hide the cache. Especially a cache that aprrwntly requires a lot of searching.
Despite coming at dusk while there where no children about, I was still spoken to by police after a call was made about suspicious activity. Although they where friendly and nice about the whole the thing and one of the officers even had some vague knowledge of geocaching , the experience was extremely off putting and a had to leave (the police did not ask me to move on but I felt far to uncomfortable to continue the search)
Did not find, however I'm not logging it as such as I was only able to. Search for less than 5 minutes.

Even with the cover and excellent caching skills of geokid we couldn't find this one. Had a lovely time in the park though, a favourite stop of ours for our regular trips back to Adelaide.
Too many kids playing on equipment and therefore muggle parents sitting watching me.
Grrr.
We turned up, the coast was clear, so we set forth to search for the cache wen some parents unleashed their kids onto the playground.
Not a place for adult males when there are parents with little girls.
I really don't know why people hide caches on play equipment when there are places around the same park where people looking for a cache are far less likely to be accused of being improper.
We abandoned the cache and walked off so that the kids could play in peace.

This has really baffled us we had four eyes searching but still have not come up with this find this our second time trying to find this one
Stopped for lunch while driving to Geelong to attend a Funeral. A group of football tragics were playing around the location so retrieval was reliant on the Geo-Grandies playing while the search was made, not in the most obvious location but found near by. Signed the log and replaced.

Mr Morris was off on a short trip over to the western part of the state and back to Bendigo via the Grampians. It was really a 4x4 trip but there was the opportunity for a couple of caches each day.
Luckily there was small person on board to provide the cover for the search.

Staying nearby for a few days and decided to make a short detour on our walk to purchase a pizza for our evening meal. Made a find after a couple of minutes of loitering. Cache is similar to some others around the district. Signed log and returned the container to its hiding place. Thanks onefatporker for this one
It was maybe not for us today We looked and looked but came up empty handed. It's our last geocache stop on our trip back from Adelaide to Melbourne so it was shame to end on this not. Oh well, maybe next time!
Decided to break the drive to Melb by collecting a few caches around Horsham. This is a park we used to stop at when the family was younger so that energy could be expended in the playground. It was good to re-visit the playground for a different purpose! Sorry for the late log. TFTC
In Horsham today for necessary things and what else do you do but a few caches while there. A cold and damp day so lots of parking nearby and no little muggles to be seen. I took the low road and hubby took the high road, not telling which half of the muff1 team found the cache, but found it was. Very good, even though we do not like playground caches. I know, we do not have to do them but we are addicted and cannot leave a cache unfound - we need the smilie fix. SL TFTC
Fortunately the park was pretty empty while we were here, otherwise playground caches can be awkward and off-putting if you don't have ankle-biters in tow.
Anyway, we found it with Bienvenu at 3:45pm and headed on.

This cache was great. We had some family members with us that decided to sign up after this, good fun
Fourth for the day. Was a race for geomum and dad to get there first. Then of course, time for a quick spin!! TFTC!!
Didn't find this on our way to Adelaide last week, but today on the way back it came to me quite easily. Nice hide and container.
Found on our OZ MEGA 2014 camping holiday.
It is always great going over to South Australia and this trip was no exception.
There are some amazing caches and views around.
Please forgive the copy/paste logs.
Thank you for placing this cache for us to find.

Found with Mum & Dad on our OZ MEGA 2014 camping holiday.
I had such a great time and loved going around finding all the geocaches.
Thank You to all the owners!

A while was spent looking around for this one, and although the description is pretty good, GZ was hard to pin down and nothing looked right. Left empty handed and no chance to try again as this was my last day before heading home
Maybe not.
Don't feel comfortable loitering around children's playgrounds with children and parents watching.
Maybe another time.

A bit of stealth required and there is safety in numbers, not a cache to do on your own. Playgrounds are not my favorite place to play geocaching...TFTC
Took a little while to find this one but not too bad. Plenty of kids playing nearby. Stealth was required. Heading east after visiting OZ MEGA on Friday. TFTC
On an adventure with Baluke, Belleakelea and Penguin chick to OZ Mega picking up a few on way. TFTC
With a quick stop off necessary, our party of four nipped over and decided to warm up for the Mega. Even with four pairs of eyes, though, this took some time. Nonetheless, SanguineDragonflye laid eyes on it and we were soon signing and sealing. Cheers!
After a good look in the area where the coords took me to I finally located it.
I was on my way to Oz MEGA when I made the stop, which was worthwhile TFTC.

Found on the way to the OZ Mega in Murray Bridge, would have been a nice quick find only it was dark and we missed the mark a couple of times.

First find of the day on the way to the Oz Mega with Highrod. Quite a few muggles around on this lovely day. Luckily Mr Highrod persisted. We took the opportunity to have something to eat whilst at a nearby picnic table. TFTC
A nice day to be out & about around the area... Decided to grab a couple of caches today on the way to the Oz Mega...
Thoroughly enjoyed driving through the area with Warrior99...
A bit of a search, made the grab, signed log & replaced... Nice chance to stretch the legs in a great little area too...
Thanks for bringing me here...

We found your cache Maybe, Maybe Not on 16/04/2014 11:00 am on the way to the Mega 2014. This is our find #3059 and find #1 today. The cache is in good condition. We had a bite to eat at the nearest picnic table and searched in between kids playing here. Nearly gave up due to the muggles but thankfully mr highrod made the find. Thanks for the find.
cheers highrod- from Ballarat.

An early start as we travelled to Murray Bridge for the Oz Mega. There was no-one around this morning which made it easy to look for the cache undisturbed. GeoDaughter made the quick find.

Found on our "Making Memories" Tour of Mainland Australia.
Today we explored Horsham using geocaching as our guide. This was one of 18 caches we found with whitewebbs as we make our way to the Oz Mega. Thanks to all cache owners for placing and maintaining these caches for our enjoyment.

Had to leave this one until after dark. Had a great meal at the local RSL then found this clever little hide with Tassie Trekkers. TFTC
I had been here before a couple of years ago, but the muggles were everywhere
Today in the damp of the early morning, the place was almost deserted
Just one pesky jogger was doing laps of the park !!
So I made a call on the GPS phone, and did quick searches between the jogger's comings and goings.
I'm glad it wasn't a real phone call, it would have cost a fortunue
But eventually I wised up to where the cache was hiding.
These things get me every time

Today was our second call to this one. After a long and unsuccessful search yesterday, we used the PAF lifeline to a couple of wise finders and returned this morning and soon had the little sucker in hand. Given the spot where we found the cache and the information in the notes we get the impression the CO must be a giant!
The satellites today had our GZ 12m south south west of where we found the cache.

We were somewhat apprehensive about going into this area. Luckily, although adults and children were in the area, no-one was using the equipment. We walked past numerous times poking in different locations until Mrs y'stassie saw something familiar, snatched it and kept walking. Yes, it was the cache. The cache and contents were in good condition. Then came the task of getting the cache back to its hide. After a few minutes we were able to complete this task. Thanks onefatporker for the cache.
The P76 family and I decided to head over to Horsham to knock over a few caches. Tricky little bugger this one.
TFTC. Cheers.

Found this one quickly as I knew what I was looking for as I have seen these before. It was raining and just as I got gz 2 girls came and sat at the table nearby, but luckily a large tree was between them and the cache. TFTC
Found the cache today with beanie on a day's shopping.
An easy find today Signed the log.
Thanks onefatporker for the cache.

Suscoe's afternoon run to try to find as many smiles as we could before the cool change.
This was our first with the temperature above 30 it was a welcome relief in this park.
We enjoyed the old carriage a great deal and it was nice to see the swing nearby.
A quick find, log signed and off we went.
only one little muggle nearby playing.
Thanks to onefatporker for a nice hide.
We were pleased it was so hot as the park area was almost deserted except for a few sleeping muggles.

Waaaayyy too many muggles around at lunchtime on Melbourne Cup Day! Not a chance of being inconspicuous .... Try again another less crowded day
First time back having a search since it was replaced. Having our two year old play on the equipment is a perfect excuse for us to go crawling around searching for the cache whilst all the other people wander around oblivious! TFTC!
Sorry foundf this cache on one of our last few trips to Horsham but failed to log it Have now TFTC
Still here did this one in the rain. Didn't have extraction tool to sign log. Gps sent me about 5m away. Stick with the hint! (There are 2 slides btw)
Dnf from me too.
Cold, wet and windy day. Read the description and searched where my gps led me..no luck. Read thw hint. I was miles away, so went and searched over there...no luck!

We often stop here for a break on the way to Adelaide from Melb. No muggles around so while Tag-along made coffee I searched - with no luck. After we cleaned up T. came over for another search where he came up trumps and smiling. It's always good to have hime around!

Found by Roma and Max.
Passed by this venue a couple of times today waiting for the usual occupants to retire, and for the opportunity to search for your little container.
Thankful to make a quick find and to get an entry in the new log.
Thank you again onefatporker.

Have just replaced cache, same location , now what we would call more a NANO cache than micro. Should still be an easy find.
Thank you and happy hunting.
Thank you and happy hunting.
Spent quiet some time going over every inch of this one, I suspect it may have been muggled unfortunately...
Maybe gone. Had a good look based on the hint, co-ords were a bit out for me this evening.
