Car engine blew up so found it on route back from the service centre on foot. TFTC!
Found! Sneaky blighter. Remember searching for this one years ago when we first started caching; turns out we were about 25m out and on the wrong wall lol
Couldn't find it in the dark
Will have to come back during the day and risk the Muggles!

I wasnt with megawat60 when he found this cache before, so we detoured on the way to our respective evening classes, and made a quick find. TFTC K.B.!
Thanks for checking on this K.B. I called in before my visit to Tuart College for this evening first class of the term and after a little look around where I had previously and there it was.
Nice to add a smilie, thanks K.B.

A quick find here and the first to sign the new log. Got speared by a rogue bouganvilla pruning - went right through my thong into my foot. Watch out! TFTC
Maybe this cache has been sprung?? I haven't visited GZ since the cache was first revived and the area has changed a bit. I didn't have time to search for my own cache but I have left a replacement to ensure there is currently at least 1 cache at GZ as described.
Out with m4yb for a few quick finds relatively close to home. So frustrating do have to put a DNF here, looked high and low even with a hint for bending, nearly got scratched!!!
Would love confirmation that it is still there.....

Had a good look for this one today, but to no avail! I even ventured under the bougainvillea in case the cache had crept. Will come back, this particular park has memories for us as we used to lunch here when we were doing volunteer gardening!

Lucky for me I had to pick up some uniforms nearby - unlucky for dad this cache was not far from uniforms.
Ironically there was bulk rubbish collection going on in the area too. It took all my strength not to stop many times.
As a result, I still had a job when I eventually got to work.....just
Thanks KB

Searched for awhile. Found the previous logger' empty jar. Decided upon a compromise, so placed a new log sheet in the jar and rehid the jar in the shade cloth similar to description, without the need to bend though
With Cafinator when he found jar on the ground with no log. Previous photographs confirmed that this was the cache so as we always carry logs around with us, it was a quick task to put a new log in and replace in a logical place. TFTC
I looked in the shade cloth as best I could through the fence. I could not get my finger through the fence easily.
Thanks .K.B. for the cache.

Easy enough find but the log is pretty much scrunched up in a ball so it's like pick a spot and sign it. TFTC
Log very soggy and all writing sticks failed. Broke a pencil, pen refused to work. Very frustrating. So photo for log instead. There is a clever solution for bigs paws. TFTC
The only shade cloth that I could see was bunched up behind a wire fence which my mitts are too big to penetrate.
DNF @ 17:40...
There were a few dog-walking muggles in the park, but I was able to bypass them without being noticed. Also walked past a muggle fixing something the other side of the fence, who also did not seem to notice me!
Unfortunately when I discovered what I was supposed to be looking at I thought it would make too much noise to search as thoroughly as I would have liked, so only managed a few pokes in a few places, but not where I should've been, it seems...

Took me a while to work out the technique required to find this cache, but once I did it was pretty easy to find. TFTC KB
No success today .. looks as though there has been plenty of visitors (kids) playing around GZ, but no cache for me.
Someone else might have better luck. Thanks KB

This was my first find months ago but I didn't log it! Ham goblins strike again. TFTC.
Used the cache location as a good spot to eat my lunch while in this 'strange' area. Had a good look, poke around quite a bit. Had to give up the search after about 15mins. Will keep a watch on the cache to see if anyone else has better luck than me. TFTH.
Luckily the park was empty whn i came past so had plenty of time o look. Didnt take too long but there were so many snails! Signed the log and replaced carefully. TFTC.
Great cache, surrounded by lots of snails! No pen, will come back to sign log. Tfth
I've been here before, finding the previous incarnation of this cache.
The park was pretty quiet this afternoon, and no one was down at the level where the cache was hidden, so I had the area to myself. I had to read the description a couple of times before I realised where the cache was, and the GPS was all over the place, but after a bit of searching I managed to find the jar. Getting it out was another matter altogether, but I got there eventually.
Thanks for the cache KB!

(catch up log as part chwiliwr team)
Out with Chwiliwr north of the river.We remembered this park once we arrived. Had to wait a short while whilst some muggles cleared the area above the cache but it was a reasonably quick find after that and the log signed.
Thanks kbinuk2005 for the cache.

After reading the logs and knowing moggles could be watching i went armed with my dog and a doggy bag for the 'pretend' poop i was looking for. Moggles were hovering near chatting with their dogs so i had to be careful. After a few dart searches with in mind made the grab and log. Living in a near suburb nice to find a a park i did not know that is dog friendly with a playground. Nice, thanks for the location introduction.
In the fading light couldn't see any sign of it a stupid place for it in my opinion got all scratched up looking for it and it's cold
I had to come over to this part of the world for some bits for the house and picked up a few caches whilst over here. TFTC.
Met up with iluvtrekking for an afternoons caching. This was a diversion from rounding up escaped animals - some of them were easier than this elusive hide.
We found this one while beating through the scrub looking for escaped animals from the zoo. First impressions were a little daunting but easy to spot when looking in the correct area. TFTC
Dropped my first TB at this cache in memory of my grandparents... please take and move on soon.
[:(!] Went for an afternoon of caching, parked the geocar close to GZ and walked in from there, on arrival at GZ, it took me quite awhile to find the shade cloth because it was night time by now and when I did discover where the shade cloth was I finally had the cache in hand. TTBLNSL TFTC/TFTH
Nice quick easy grab in the dark after a movie. The description made this one dead easy. Nice little spot. TFTC.
Waited out a muggle to retrieve his doggy-do and then it was a quick grab while his back was turned. This sure is a beautiful park! Thanks for the cache.
I managed to score the day of work, and although caching wasn't quite on the cards, it seems to have filled the time I had between other things I had to attend today quite nicely )
Another cool cache container, I'm jealous. Shame about the little people like to dump in the area though...

Good hide spot - almost fool me but catch it... Signed the log. Thanks kbinuk2005.
Didn't manage to log previous cache so happy at the chance of another smiley...thanks kbinuk2005
Easy Find on our night time close to home hunt, good views from the picnic table, cheers kbinuk!
It took me a couple of goes to find the last one that was here, this one was much easier, (It would have been much harder without the good description). No ring spotted.

Well out and about with MM again today. Just to pick up a short multi only going to take 5-10mins.
yep right left home at 8.30am and got dropped home around 1.00pm quick 5-10mins but at least I came home with 3 smilies!
This was one of them.

It would seem that to top off the average day caching we had today that I have lost my Eternity ring somewhere too! As all the caches we visited today are in sand, it is highly unlikely to be located!
If anyone does see it I would appreciate being contacted.

Was just heading out of the office to Osbourne Park to buy a new hard drive for the PVR when this popped up so I decide to drop by on the way. Found after a brief search, and a blank log book as a reward. So - FTF at 12:55pm. S TFTC KB
FELIX and I only nipped out for an hour this morning to tackle couple of multis and this one.
However it took over four hours ...... fortunately only two minutes of that time was spent tackling this Cache.
Thank you for a straight forward hide !!!
