I had attempted this a while back but it was mugglesville. Today in the middle of the day - no one in sight. I had a scour of everywhere I could think with the clue, resorted to looking at the past logs and deduced the type of cache was I searching for has goneski.
Geoson found this one. Nice park - my Dad lived near here for years and I never knew it was here.
Thanks Wingaap.
Thanks Wingaap.
Visiting friends in the neighborhood before heading back to California soon. Gorgeous spot! TFTC!!
Quick and easy find. Geocachers: Andrew, Julie, Susan with Rosie, Isaac, Elina and Eli in tow.
The rugrats found it, but one of the rest of us had to retrieve it. Kids are loving this geocahcing caper.
Cheers for the cache, wingaap. Have now done quite a few of yours over a couple of days.

Great spot ...saw a house with xmas lights ready to go..would be lovely at night time...tftc
Once again I found a local park that I would have never known about.
Spotted the cashe easily from a distance, getting to it was another thing.

Quick easy find. I forgot a trinket someone bring one so it's not empty anymore! Forgot my pen too Mat and Tess
Will have to come back and sign. Could get it with a stick but wouldn't be able to put back up. Too high
Found in a completely different location to where I though it was last time. Log signed. TFTC
As promised, I returned to this one on the way to McDona... Ooops, almost said it. Cache is exactly where the name suggests, not muggled, broken or otherwise. Righto, done. Off to feed the mooselings several thousands of fun lovin', sugar laced calories.

2nd of 6 finds today at 13:53. 8/9 marked off the geocaching calendar too.
I had cycled past this cache many months ago, several times in fact, but I didn't know there was a cache over here. Today, I was doing a loop of the bike paths on an afternoon ride to collect some smilies. This was one of them. Easy find.

Could not find the container but did see an eclipse lid wedged in the back of the box. Think this one been muggled.
Had a conference nearby and arrived in the area a little early - just early enough to find this cache before getting back in the car and making it there on time. A nice quick find. TFTC wingaap!
perfect height for me for a change, cheers
logged the 23rd on the log, was meant to be the 25th- not that it really matters

this one was very confusing it was not the most obvious spot and i think it is best to trust your instics not your gps for this one
Continuing on my walk, spotted this one from a distance, a little tricky to retrieve for the shorter people of the world, I used my pen to bump it out from its spot.
A great long weekend walk introducing the cousins to Geocaching. This was our sixth of seven caches for the morning. We had certainly earned our lunch!! Clue may have helped but GPS got us there without it.
Very easy find, only complicated part was grabbing the cache with a muggle picnic and games going on in the nearby shelter.

A Quiet day of caching with Mastamak & BosNewellgus. Our aim was to complete the On Your Bike series, having completed that series it was time to move on to the next series. After pick up the cache that Stumped us down the lane we moved onto this cache. I have to say it is sooo much easier if you have a kid with you when you go caching as you sometimes find your self in some fun looking situations. On our approach to GZ we came to a large tree surrounded with bush and 5 kids came running out of it. It must of looked like we scared them out of the bush. We did get some strange looks from the parents as we approached GZ, but as experienced cachers we had our tricks to make it look like we came to see the sign or something about the park. We departed the area as quickly as we arrived...
The cache was in good condition at the time of visit and found on a bright fresh day, but by late afternoon it was getting cold.
This was the 13th find of 30 finds for the day.

Out and about on a day of caching with TriBre & BosNewellgus.
Felt really bad on this one. We walked through from Stumped and there were many kids playing in the park and trees from where we came. When we passed the last tree before the clearing all of the kids went running out of the trees back towards their parents. I wished that I had my own kids with me.
We found the cache and got out of the area as quickly as possible.

2nd find today what a great feeling to be approaching GZ and spotting cavhe just lucky at which angle we came from glad I had the other half of the team with me as I may have been vertically challanged TFTC
I am not sure if it is that I did not even see it on the map last time or I just sheer ran out of time chasing the stumped on that I did not get to this, but today it was a quick little one to solve and I was happily on my way in no time,

Wanting to attempt these caches in the right way, I hired a city Cycle in the CBD and headed out to Newmarket where this ride would start. There are a couple of large hills between the CBD and the start of the bike trail and those city cycles are at least 25kg! Anyway I was soon on the cycleway and enjoying the ride and caches.
This cache is definetly high and dry. Found without too much trouble. Thanks Wingaap for this great series of caches along a beautiful cycleway. TFTC.

Out and about with mini munchkin and Net88, it was a lovely day to be finding ourselves some caches. Seeing as Net88 had already found this one she stayed with MM in Spangle to try and figure out where it was we had to go next. At GZ I found a likely spot for the cache and just had to grab it. I added my autograph to the log and replaced the cache as found. All good here and what a lovely little park.

didn't realise this was disabled. found in what seemed to be a logical place. Nice new log book. Thanks wingaap.
Certainly up high. Forget about white men can't jump: Short, 5 1/2 month pregnant women can't jump either. I did manage to dislodge it with help of my pen but unfortunately couldn't then get the pen down! And then of course, this is the one cache that doesn't have a pencil. So, log not signed but I did leave a trinket. I also placed it slightly lower.
I have no idea where the cache has been placed.
Given that the area is heavily frequented by children...if the cache is not where originally placed I have grave concerns for it remaining.
Disabled until I can get there and check it out
So much for replacing the cache as found!

Spotted yesterday, but busy, so returned today to record the find - first entry in New logbook
Well placed, not too difficult, but fun to find.

Enjoying our ride along the creek. Our party split up & the others took our pen! Will have to write in the new log book next time we're out riding.
Out in the area replacing caches washed away by the flood and dropped by to check this one.
Found the cache some 20m from where it should be. The top was ripped off....and by the rest of container it looked like it had been bashed or run over with a lawn mower. Given the length of the grass I have doubts re the last idea.
Cache replaced...new logbook etc

a quick find.resituated magnet and left cache up near it's roof as the container has no lid. cache has seen better days!!!sl.tnln.TFTC[^]
The magnet is no longer working but the cache is still good. After finding the cache I spied the close by water fountain that was a lifesaver on this hot day.
MrsGreenGeckos and I got leave passes this afternoon to have a wander around some of the geocaches around my home. I have had these caches on my 'radar' since moving in here (at my father-in-law's) since March this year.
With my new get fit campaign finally allowing me the fitness to pedal great distances, this was one of our finds.
Found with the mangled lid on ground. Might need some fixing.

Out caching with MischievousMaverick today. Found mangled lid on ground, but cache was still high and dry. TFTH
The cache may have been high and dry, but we weren't after walking though the long wet grass!
We were consoled by a quick find though.
Thanks, Robmc.

# 1080. Pity we didn't have our bicycles with us today. It would have been fun. Another quick find for us in this lttle park. TFTC
This was the middle cache of three that we did on the way to the bridge before retracing our steps to the car and then moving it to another convenient spot.
A few muggles about but easily retreived.

Another day of Enoggering along the bike way for me
This time around I was here nice and early, before the balcony muggle had even woken up
A quick and easy grab without even having to get off the pushbike [^]
In fact the pushbike gave me the extra height to actually reach the cache in it's hiding place
I had a quick look around before replacing the cache to make sure I was not being observed and could see the 'laser beam' straight wheel track I had left in the dewy grass.
You'd almost think I knew where this cache was hidden before I arrived
Second time's a charm.

And high and dry it was but our timing had to be good here as we had kids on the basketball court and some guys tossing a frisbee on the grass nearby. Still, it all adds to the excitement and we got away with it. Thanks wingaap.
We took a slightly roundabout route so as not to wander through the frisbee game being played on the field, and then timed our grab and replace carefully to match their throws. Nice and quiet in here, with an awesome possum hole in a tree on the way to the next cache. TFTC, wingaap. =^.^=
When I pulled up at this one, I didn't think I was going to be able to do it. There were children nearby. I decided to go have a look at what I could see.
*SHOOMP* - I turned around all the children were gone. Something I said? I soon had the cache in hand. I signed the log and returned it to its home. Glad I have that affect I children TFTC Mr Wingaap

Oh the cache is there alright.
But the elderly lady on the verandah was too [:o]
And was taking waaaay to much interest in me as I approached GZ.
It's almost like she knows there is something interesting sitting high and dry in this park [:o]
I saw the cache staring back at me as I rode past
But I will be back this way soon
There's a lot more smilies lying in wait along this bikeway.

Absolutely no muggles here, what a relief! But also no TB in the cache, and no magnet? Cache appeared to be in good condition. TFTC, wingaap.
Wasn't to high and dry today.Had the wrong location for a while until we found this cache.TFTC .

This was a quick find too. Will have to get my bike in shape to enjoy the "full" experience.

at 13:13. There is no sign of the TB which is supposed to be here.
Once again, TFTC Wingaap. The cache is fine.

It's getting hotter as it is nearly the middle of the day. Enjoying this series. TFTC. Nice to do some of your caches.
As we neared GZ a couple of muggles with their personal trainer asked us not to take their photograph - as if. Just as long as they kept exercising they weren't watching us. The lady across the road was enjoying her morning coffee.

2 short cachers + 1 high GZ = awkward jumping. Iolanthek got it second go. Thanks for the cache
Net88 and I both found an unexpected couple of hours today, so we thought we'd tackle the Bike Way power trail
Number 6. Needed to jump for this one, being vertically challenged TFTC, wingaap.

Back today for a few more in this area. Nice and peaceful on this dreary Sunday morning. Easy find, signed log, took nothing but left one of our ceramic sig tokens. TFTC!
Kid chaos today with all 5Meerkats and geo sapiens out for some collective caching. We parked the car just near this one walking up the creek. A quick find, spotted from a distance. The challenge was to remove it with muggles playing frisbee nearby. TFTC wingaap
It's a herd of elephants, NO! it's a gazillion hippos charging down the path... NO! it was the geosapiens teamed with the 5meerkats - 4 adults and 5 kids walking on this beautiful bike trail... there was laughing, screaming, giggling, yelling, running, walking, piggy-backs, stroller rides, rolling, punching, kicking, pushing and sitting....but boy was it fun!!!

The area was eerily deserted when we rolled up today. The kids wanted to go and play but we had more caches to find. Playing his overrated anyway! A nice quick find of an aptly named cache. TFTC
A lot less muggle activity here than on the bike path, so no problems getting this one.

Last of the 4 I found in a row. Plenty of boys playing basketball nearby - must be a pupil-free day for private schools. I made sure noone was watching as I made a fast grab and wandered off, then came back to become very interested in the name of the park. TFTC - a very pleasant and interesting area.
Out to complete the series along this creek (on the bike naturally).
This one has eluded me due to muggle activity on my last visit (I could see the cache but many eyes were looking directly at me at the time).
There were already muggles about this morning but they were more interested in boxing each other so the cache was an easy ride by this time.
