Well I seem to be the only one who can't find this one. Spent quite some time with Crusty K9 this afternoon, but no luck. I'll have to go back another day.

Opps camo wasn't covering it so I saw it way to easily.
Have re covered it a bit better, I hope.

Our focus for the day was the engagement party event, which I barely made the tail end of... still worth the trip to congratulate the happy couple. Now it was time to see how many more caches I could grab while in the outer Eastern Suburbs for the evening.
No stealth required in the early evening... I had the whole park virtually to myself. Another nice sized container and a quick find.

Nice easy find as others have mentioned this park can be very busy during the day. TFTC.
A muggle heavy afternoon. Required some stealth. Right as we open the container s-bomb says "gee I hope the cricketers don't hit a 6 our way" ... 2 seconds later, a 6!! Lol. Nice hide, thanks.
# 394 @ 1805. Nice park and good area for hide. Chose a good time of the day to hunt for this as I imagine the park gets very busy. No sign of listed TB in cache. Left Pathtag. TN SL TFTC omegaman1971
Had to wait for muggles to pass , cache is full of goodies nice to see a large cache for a change thanks for hide
I found this cache at 5:20pm as the final of a quickfire Five on the Way Home. Surprisingly, we have never seen a cache placed in this park until now. Luckily for me, on a bright and sunny spring day, there was not a soul around. Thanks from D B-A.
Found @ 17:00. It's been a while since I last cached and it was a nice evening to be out so thought I do a clean up around this area. 1st of 8 and a good start. TFTC

A quick find in between muggles. Lots of people out and about today in the beautiful sunshine. Thanks for the cache.
Took a easy stroll through the park on a quick cache run before school pickup, thanks omegaman1971 for the cache. TNLN
My biggest mistake today was to take a shortcut across the ground. YUK. Made a quick find and sign. tftc
What a great park, would never have known this was here but the kids had a ball playing in the playground. The cache was one of the easier finds spotted instantly. TFTC
A quick geocaching tour of the area with Geoson while Geomum shopped and Geodaughter was at her choir. We parked out front where the park didn't appear very large, bit it opened up into a surprising large area as we approached. Geoson spotted the location from 20m away.
Thanks omegaman1971 - Nice place, thanks for bringing us here.

After having a crack at another nearby cache this one was next on the list. A nice and easy muggle free night ensued a quick find. However the camo is of some concern. Perhaps the CO could look into it.
Thx again OM
Thx again OM
About to head home from street O when I realised there was a cache 100 metres away. Couldn't resist!
After a very long Geocache drought I was very happy to add this one to our journey home. Stopped at the local milk bar, dodged a bus and walked over the road with my boys. Did not have the GPS, so the iPhone had to do the task as my eldest walked over for an instant find. Even after serveral weeks out of the game they are still so geo sharp! Nice location and a good selection of swaps. My youngest swapped two toys for a Red Sphere toy (Brand escapes me). Thanks for the cache, a great one to break my time away and I cant wait to ramp up again. Nice one!
Excellent spot! But had to be wary of muggles!! Our last find for the day. Took nothing, left something.
There was a lovely big car park to use near the cache and then after a short stroll all I had to do was wait for a couple of passing muggles and the cache was to hand.
As I had to deliver a mower from Bacchus marsh to Lilydale, there was no way I was going to miss out on finding a few caches this far out.
Nice hide out of the weather, and a terrifc little park, thanks again omegaman1971

Another legendary night caching run with The Demolition Crew - TDC. Tonight an exceptional run, with around 65 caches found over a nice 12 hour caching run, starting at about 5pm, and finishing at about 5am. The run took us from Bayswater to Ringwood, then west to Williamstown to pick up a bundle that way, then east again to collect some more which were on our extensive list....
A couple of earth caches, a stack of mysterys and multis, and two challenges - The Unloved Challenge and the Night Caching Masters Challenge. We all also knocked off a couple of Project 81 finds, leaving us only a handfull to go. A great night as usual, with great company with two of my best mates. Some funny chats and some great walks as well.
Short walk to GZ with the torches out of course, for a quick find. TFTC.

Tonight the TDC boys were finally back together as a trio and we'd planned a HUGE twelve hour plus cache run for the night. With sixty plus caches on the list for the night we were being a bit optimistic but as it turned out we were able to smash that and some during our cache blitz. The weather was generally quite good for us during the night with only a few light showers dampening the atmosphere. Overall we were very happy with the nights journey and outcome, with each of us knocking a couple of project 81 finds on the head as well.
We met up at our rendezvous point and began working our way through the Box Hill area east to Bayswater and Ringwood then back west to pick up a couple of must do challenge caches. From there we headed further west to Williamstown before making our way back east again and then down the bay through Malvern and on to Sandringham. We had a great night where we managed to find a variety of caches including two nice challenge caches and even a couple of Earth caches. Luckily we were able to, on most occasions, find each cache very quickly before zooming off to the next one.
A nice short stroll to GZ and a quick find and we signed the log. Thanks for the hide.

Nice quick find, but being close to school closing time, I had to wait a couple of minutes for passing muggles to disappear. Thanks for the cache.
Found this one with Irontoad tonight. This one was a lot harder to locate than it looked at first and I am glad we did this one as darkness was falling so there were not too many muggles around. Took glove and left thunderbird. Thanks for the cache omegaman1971.
Kmace and I found this one at night. We had this one on the too doo list for a long time. We had entered it into gps three times without relaising. Now its done we can delete it 3 times.
nice park and good cache. very satisfying. Took thunderbird and left glove. One glove is always so pointless. Parker then drove Miss Penelope to the next cache

On my bike ride return trip from Lilydale I stopped off at a few caches along the way and this was one of them.
As I approched GZ I spotted the hide from a distance which made it an easy find just had to be careful of the nearby muggles.

Thanks omegaman1971.

On my out to Lilydale and this is nicely on the way. An easy find in a great bit of parkland. Thanks for bringing me to this little spot.
Out on my own today taking advantage of this great day. Parked right near the milkbar and walked in behind a very slow lady. I needed to hover for a while while she moved on far enough. Nice easy find Thanks for the cahce omegaman1971
A quick easy find on the way to work. Driven past here lots but finally stopped. Nice park.

Found on the way home from work tonight, as I needed a cache for project 366.
I ride past this park when I ride to work sometimes and never knew the layout as I though it was a part of the school. A quick find which was good as I had no torch with me.

Found @ 15:30 in the company of emeraldflame. We knew we had to be quick here, and replaced the cache just before the hordes of mini muggles descended upon us.

A nice easy stroll at lunchtime had me grabbing this cache. I'm not sure this one will last given it's proximity to muggle activity, but thanks and best of luck.

Quick easy find although I don't know how long that container will last

I know it's a bit of an obscure stat, but I only needed 1 more date to fill in my calendar of 'Finds by Date Cache was Placed' and that was for 12th March - so when March came round this year, I was hoping that someone would place a conveniently close to home cache on the 12th - and was pretty happy to see this one pop up. I was in the area shopping for motorbike gear today so, after I'd finished that, I headed over to get this one. The park was rather eeerily deserted this arvo and I had no trouble locating GZ and the cache.

Thanks omegaman1971 - my calendar is now full

I was thinking about starting to get ready for basketball tonight when whe phone rang, it was geo cal with car issues and needed a jump start, so I quickly got ready, jumped in the car and headed out. I remembered on the way to geo cal's, I remembered I needed to find a cache today for my project 366 and this was the closest. I parked close by and walked in towards GZ. The park was completely empty, so I had a nice easy find tonight.
Thanks to omegaman1971. TNLN. The two listed trackables were not in the cache box.

With MMelb away on school camp, GMelb was aiming to get 2 days off so we could go caching together until it got dark and not have to worry about a hungry teenager lol! The plan was Marysville today and (some of) Woodlands tomorrow. However due to the weather this morning he decided he may as well go into his 2nd office for the morning and by the time he got home it was 3pm so we changed our plans and decided to go to Healesville instead as long as we fitted a Beechworth Bakery visit in somewhere lol
So after finding 4 caches around Healesville and having that yummy arvo tea at Beechworth Bakery we started winding our way home grabbing caches on the way.
Now whilst this cache wasnt really on the way home as such, it is the last cache in our 10km zone that isnt disabled or a multi that finishes nearly 200km away so we decided we would grab it as the last f the day. Wow there were so many very cool hiding spots in the area but the cache was quickly found and then taken to the seat to log so that people didnt see us hanging around the hiding spot too long as there were still joggers and dog walkers around even at 7.50pm! Lovely spot. TNLNSL

First cache of the day, with 2 geokids in tow, on the way to Sassafras. Easy find on a lovely, sunny Melbourne day. Took TB, LN. SL. TFTC.
*FTF* Having just knocked of a bunch of FTF's over on my side of town I thought I would drive over and give this one a shot. I was sure I would find I would not be first but still wanted to have a go. I parked up not too far away and walked into GZ without a torch light. A soon found the cache after I approached it from the correct angle and quickly signed the log before heading back to my car for the drive home. TFTC
