Checked for a while, but no success.. I have the height, and was alone in the park.. Must be a tricky one.
Lunchtime stroll was not successful. Tried following the clues from log but GPS was jumping around a bit and guy tending the cricket pitch was probably beginning to wonder what i was up to. Will come back another time as it is near my work
Found it quiet quickly. The toe listed TB's were not in there.
We put a new TB in, the little monkey comes from Germany and his biggest wish was to go to Sydney good luck little monkey

Arrived at GZ at the same time as a council truck to empty the bins. Tried to look like I was having a break from exercise while the council did their thing. At least I spied the cache while that was happening. The council guy wished me happy New Year and went on his way. I went back to the car to get my vertically challenged persons helper and soon had CIH & SL on paper supplied, returned cache and drove over to The Small Brown Fox where I couldn't believe it the same council truck pulled up. Had to leave that one for another time.

No log book. Put a piece of paper in there. Nice diversion after a Danks St cafe.
Went for a run with Fastshoe and we thought we would try and find it after we finished. We were successful this time!
Very easy to find after reading comments and hints.
Too many muggles with dogs at first, went to get a coffee at the park cafe on the corner and came back to find most muggles gone.
Did not take anything as I had nothing to give.

Found while walking a friends dog with a beer in hand on a sunny arvo! Lucky I'm tall! Cheers [:o)]
Beautiful day for caching on the first official day of summer. Love the old trees! TFTC
Tftc, as it was really visible I pushed it a bit further and do hope the next cachet is tall enough.
Vanessa clued into this one quickly. Austin happy to find it. Loved the history on the site. TFTC
Found this on my lunch break..felt a little suspect in my uniform getting this one down but I was as discreet as possible. Picked up a trackable keyring and I shall move it along
Woho! Good one! Finally got a chance to drop off some travel bugs we haven't had a chance to drop in a while. Suggested travel buddy for one of the travel bugs (green carabiner/Asia or Bust) placed nearby
Quick find after dodging the muggles and their dogs. Nice park left some coins and took the trackable and rescue dog charm!
quick find with lots of exercise muggles complicating succesful retrieval. no.31 for me. tftc
Needing to find a cache today to kkep my current streak alive (now at 104 days in a row) and with a busy workload at the Office it was paramount I make this find. I had stopped by here a few times before but there were too many muggles around to give this one an attempt.
Today at 6:00am there was no one around and I made the find after getting the right perspective.
Thanks ZebraFive for your cache.

Lots of muggles around during the day. But found it with my boyfriend Jason and his height xD TFTC!
5th one today. Found it after bit of a walk around the place. No muggles insight. But maybe it's because it was 10:30pm
Found it with my girl friend Robin

Fun one to find, I didn't have anything to leave behind so I didn't take anything. If you're going at night you'll definitely need a flashlight/torch, and a tall friend? No one around except for a few dogs and their owner, who didn't really take notice.
Found it once GPS settled down. Boys were playing soccer nearby but they were too involved in their game to notice a lonely geocacher
TFTC!

Nice spot great park. Came here before but muggles training for football got in the way. Was looking for magnetic so missed the low profile target. What looks like a log is a syringe wrapper please don't poke fingers in holes that isn't where the cache is sl tnln. Tftc
A lovely little cache, found by myself, Father-in-Law and Brother-in-Law. I think I've hooked them into geocaching.
I picked up a Travel Bug and will drop it off as soon as I find out what it's mission is...

Walking in Starship Hannah, Daddy, Uncle Peter and Grandpa helped me find this cache as I was way too small.
They held me up and I found it

A glorious Sunday morning seemed like a good time to grab this one. TB in and TB out. Cheers!
After attending the St Patricks Day celebrations in the city, Mr Ozjeeper ventured out to this oval with the intention of placing a cache. Numerous possible cache locations were scouted out, GPS coords averaged and noted and some calculations commenced. We had been planning to place a cache at this spot for a long time but never got around to do anything about it. Strolling back to the car he was dissapointed to see a large flock of cockatoos fly overhead, some of them using his car as a toilet.
Just before leaving, a search was made to see if there were any caches in the vicinity and that's when Wintergreen was discovered - located just meters away from one of our planned hiding spots! There goes an hour or so of wasted effort! Rising above this deflating experience, the container was soon spotted and logged.
Dropped of Cache Movers TB.
Now it's off home to give the car a thorough wash!

Drove here before work this mourning and there was a boot camp group 20m from GZ so returned after work to have CIH after a few minutes when there's no muggles. Emptied container of business cards into the bin as I always do this at caches I find.

Tricky hide! Luckily the necessary tools to retrieve the cache were conveniently lying around.
Nice park. Was here a bit for work at one stage. Good excuse to come back. SL TNLN TFTC.
I wandered past a couple of times, waiting for some young muggles to move on, and made some mental notes about good spots for a container of this size. They went off to play and luckily it was one of those spots. Dropped a TB, thanks.
On my way to drop off the car I hired for the month before going back to Canada in a few days. 3 DNFs in a row and determined to get at least one on my way to the Wicked depot. YEEEE finally found this one and was soooo exited that on the way back to the car I did not realize that I had parked infront of a cement flower box ;( yup, up I go, scratching and detatching the left bumper and ripping out the wheelwell ,,,,, I wonder how much that is going to cost me
After doing Orienteering in Sydney Park i found this cache on the way home. No traffic on this holiday so i could stopp without problem. TFTC
Cheeky Dave's family have lived in Alexandria for 4 generations, so this park was well known about, a good hide in a nice park, took the TB, and replaced.
Updated cache description to include warning regarding night visits.
Please be careful at night. Lighting in this area is not great, and there may be someone sleeping nearby.

Easy find but had trouble with a shadow there. I don't recommend this one at night. It appears to be a meeting point of sorts. I had to touch this guy up for assuming I was there to meet him. Otherwise lovely park.

Quick & easy find with JustR, for my daily cache, whilst attending to some business in the area.
We'd been to this park before to watch bicycle polo in the basketball court, not realising there was a cache here.

Decided to pick up a Christmas Day cache on the way to the in-laws. Ended up in this place which was well-known from Mrs Gaztek's Aussie Rules playing days! NEeded a big reach. TN L a small ladybug SL TFTC Cheers... Gaztek
TFTC,
I had a look for this once before but with a person sleeping on the bench, I decided to come back. Here I am on day 293 of my personal challenge to try and reach 366 consecutive days including the 29th February (something you can only do every 4th year).
Visited a group of trackables to share the experience.

This was only the second cache we managed to get to today. We live in the mountains, but Canary's son was refereeing nearby, so we thought we'd cache in the city. The number of caches we crawled to through traffic, only to have to abandon because there was nowhere to park, was demoralising. We managed to get to this one because at three o'clock in the afternoon we decided to get something at McDonalds, and so parked there and walked a few blocks to this one.
It was a quick search, but Canary and I missed it on the first pass. His youngest son spotted it and I retrieved it. Thanks

Eventually one of the kids spotted it and one iof the adults refrieved it!

Had GZ to myself which made the cache hunt and retrieval thankfully non-eventful. Quickly signed and replaced to continue on with my caching afternoon =) TFTC zebras!
Dropped in TB on its way around Australia clockwise.
And remember, BYO pen or pencil!

Found this one pretty quickly - Mandi guessed it straight away! Went with Mandi, DiOnlyBob, Pirry and Ucanfindmojo. TFTC!
Nice and easy find. Mandi guessed exacly where it would be and sure enough it was there.
