More Cricket Views Wonga Park, Victoria, Australia

This one appears to be gone so opening this area up for another hider.

It is #stolen

I think it has been taken my friend couldn't find it today

Someone stole it as I asked hermys where it is after 2 hours of searching

Think it has been taken, hopefully the person who left the cache can verify this.

Staying in Wonga Park and having found many of the local caches on previous stays I had a long walk this morning to get to this one. A brisk morning but only the one muggle with a dog on the oval who left as I arrived. There are a few things that match the hint but it took until my third choice to find the cache. I was only using the phone but it's pretty accurate in open spaces like this and I got GZ 28 metres out which is a fair bit. Signed and replaced. Log was okay, not too damp.

Thanks!

Our for a Sunday drive visiting this beautiful area. Our GPS had us initially looking in the wrong spot. After having no luck we went for a walk and explored the other playground. Geokids enjoyed both. As we were walking back to the car we thought we'd take a random look somewhere else that was no wehre near the coords, and lo and behold there it was.

Thanks for bringing us to this lovely little spot.

We needed an extra cache for the day (two kids - gotta keep an even number!), and this was on the way back and looked like a quick find. Mr 5 had no problems finding it, but we stayed for quite a while in the two excellent playgrounds nearby! Thanks for hiding!

Took a long time but eventually got it

A quick and easy drive by on a Monday afternoon, with only one muggle dog walker to keep an eye on. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.

Muggles everywhere... but we soon had the cache in our hands!

not sure what went wrong today, i think i just suck, we had lots of DNF's

Found it.

This was a nice little find on my way home from the boring old grocery shopping one winter Friday afternoon. Thank you so much for making my day

TFTC We found it after a short walk in the park. It was a nice spot and we had alot of fun finding it. It was a bit easy and our phone led us right to GZ.

Found it, lovely view.

TFTC team coxy. Had a muggle sitting on GZ and we had I wait for tea during the cricket game that was in. A very nice oval and an interesting game. Not sure who the visitors were but the Wonga park team were bowling. With Noelle04.

Found with Jimmytherat. Thanks Team Coxy. What a gem of a cricket ground! Took a little longer than expected due to Muggle watching the match. We were willing him to get thirsty or go to the loo to no avail. But as luck has it tea time & he was off.

Great view from here but cricket season is over , so it's just lovely green grass , thanks for putting a cache here, the first of four tonight , quick find,

Nice park, especially the fort up the hill. Tftc

Nice easy one for our first cache....yippee. Thx!

Twas a simply glorious afternoon, and we had been out and about for a picnic and some wine tasting then we stopped off to grab this one. No one was around, apart from someone practising their basketball who wasn't interested in us. We sat in the sun and signed the log, with the spray of the new irrigation on the oval wafting over us in the wind. Thanks for the hide and bringing us here.

Thanks

Quickest find today. Thanx

A nice quick find as I had the whole place to myself )) Thanks for bringing me here.

Tftc working in the area

very damp, found with the gralings

Log very wet and requires replacement.

Quick stomp across a very soggy footy pitch to reach this gz. The log was found to be very soggy as were the extra bits of paper that have been added. Cache requires owner maintenance.

Found it ! 15th May 2014 - shame the paper was saturated !

15/06/2014 tricky !

Found this one tonight for my cache of the day. Nice easy find then signed log. Had a bit of trouble getting it all back together but managed and returned cache to its hide.

Thanks for the cache team_coxy.

Quick stop after coffee at a nearby café. Tftc

Found by The Empire
Find number 4 of 4 today. After a couple of long and hilly (damn them hills) walks I grabbed this quick one on the way home. Thanks for the cache team coxy.

First for the day. Left ten cents. I had no pen.

Found with Ben and Darcy. GPS throwing us around to begin with. Thx for introducing us to this location. Would be great place for a game of cricket.

I found this cache at 4:10pm as number 1 of 5 on a divert north on the way home. I know this spot well having found the caches "Wonky Bridge Madness" here back in 2005 and "In the Middle" in 2008, both very close to this spot. Not a soul here today making for a very easy pick up. Thanks from D B-A.

Quick find on an extremely hot day. TFTC.

Ltf

Hot and windy weather forecast today so TurnerFamilyFTG and I headed out early (ish) to beat the heat.
Nice easy find since no one was in the park. Just as we were walking back to the car a brand new Audi drove in and parked right near the cache so we waited in case they were caching but they moved on so we did as well.
Thanks for the cache, the hunt and the fun.

Found late this evening on our way home from a party. tftc.

Took us a while but finally found it! Left a nice surprise inside for the next person! tftc

Found with Madduk and f4tjig tftc

Found with Kiara001 TFTC

TFTC

Nice easy find. Signed replaced and left. Tftc

Found after having lunch near tennis courts. Sat down a found cache by feel, signed log.
Thanks team coxy

Ok, worked out today that phone GPS is almost 4 m out. But got this one. Wonder if that is the reason I did not find 3 others which is so unlike me.

Out and about with cacheing buddy and son Scotttiew,on a Fathers day outing,no Cricket on today...

More like watching grass grow, today. TFTC

Quick find to make number 22 of 31 days geocaching.

Cool

It was a beautiful afternoon, and I needed a cache to fill in this date. Approaching GZ I didn't notice a pipe between the posts and took a tumble. I was very lucky not to break my leg here, but I fell backwards and away from the pipe. After spending a couple of minutes on the ground, being cared for by a concerned young lady, I recovered and located the cache.
I was not in my usual vehicle, so didn't have a writing implement with me. I'll return in next few days to sign the log. No cricket today so not too many people to witness my clumsiness. tftc.
Crusty.

Found with nirgalagrin... now I have my own account.



14:15

It's Torment Your Teenager Day (better known as report writing), so our teen had to decide whether she was spending the day doing homework at Mum's work, or out with Dad. I suspect the only reason she opted for the latter was she could stay in bed for half an hour longer.



The last short detour as we made our way toward home via the country lanes... easily found despite the extra natural camo added by the past couple of months' inactivity. The teen was again at her most useful... shielding me from the sight of the council worker packing up nearby as we enjoyed the view of an empty cricket ground. I could make some snide remark about it being as exciting as if it were occupied, but I won't.

Quick but fun find this one. Done at night to avoid being seen hanging around a playground lol. TFTC!

Forgot a pen

Cool

Nice view, and dead quiet on this Tuesday! Tftc

Found it while Master D played, couldn't sign log as didn't have a pen in my bag of tricks!

Early morning walk thought would go somewhere to cache. No muggles here this morning. Gooligulch playground ....loved a book with that name..my grandma lived in gooligulch. Tftc

First GC for the day. Easy fun find, tks!

Found @ 11:25hrs.
No cricket here today but a great view of the ground from the cache hide.
Many thanks for the cache team_coxy
Not logged until 01/04/13.

Too bad there was no cricket to watch today. Thanks coxy.

Wanted to log this on Christmas day on our way home after a big day... Someone beat us to it. we also forgot a pen and so instead of logging on paper we have uploaded a pic of our find. Thanks for the cache.

This was close to my home and took a while find.

Nice, quick find. Thanks.

Found a bunch of caches I haven't logged yet.
Found with ross47 and geoMum.
TFTC

A quick find @ 15:50 in the company of the geowife and emeraldflame. I've been here before for a failed attempt on a now archived hide nearby. We sat for a while and watched the assortment of birds wandering around on the oval.

Thanks to team_coxy for the cache.

Another legendary TDC / Rebel Alliance night caching run. The run started with caches near Rebel's house, then after picking him up, we headed to the newly published Area 79 - Westall66 caches, the topic of which is a favorite of mine...! I'm not a UFO nut that wears silver foil on my head, but I do have a big interest in the subject, it is truly fascinating. A loop from there took us west and north, collecting yet more caches.

The night included about 35 finds personally, a possum fight and a wild peacock.... And of course all the caches we found, my personal thanks to all the CO's for their efforts and time in placing the caches, without that, we would have had nothing to find..!

Nice and quick, great at this time of night. TFTC.

The Demolition Crew and The Rebel Alliance once again teamed up for another fun night of caching throughout Melbourne picking up some of the newer published caches around Melbourne as well as some in the home town area of Rebel Acts.

Blacklegend and I started out by collecting caches near "Casa de Rebel" before picking him up and setting off south to the newly published AREA 79 series. Once that series was completed, we headed out west and north of Melbourne in a big loop until it was time to drop the Rebel home again.

A great night for caching was had, which included seeing a peacock running wild in near Area 79: Westall66 - # 5 - Hello, Hang on!, and a full on possum fight. Thanks again to all the CO’s who have put the time in to placing their hides.

A nice quick driveby, but no cricket here today. Thanks.

Found while doing some Cup Day caching with my caching buddy Slink1. TFTC SL.

Nice and quite today have been here before but workman were around . Thanks for hide team coxy

Out and about today with the geowife, and we decided to visit an old stomping ground of hers. No cricketers today but plenty of workers doing what appears to be work on a new cricket club room. They didn't seem interested in us and we found and signed the log with with no problems. TFTC

Raced out of bed this morning to get a FTF and though I would go for a drive to grab another after the effort.
What a nice area Wonga Park is and a picturescue GZ, sat and enjoyed the serenity for a while.
Thanks for bringing me here team coxy.

Quick grab with junner, bit of a stealth mission with all the construction! SL TFTC

No longer a virgin, my first find..whoohoo!

Little to easy but a nice drive and dream about a nice big house like that

Cold and rainy so no-one else around.

Found a bit too easily (geokid3 could see it from the playground). Placed it back in a bit less obvious location. TFTC

Quick find with no-one at GZ while I was there but could see it to be hard to get to at times! Lots of work being done on the clubrooms for the Cricket club!

Another Team Coxy Cache crossed off my list and another day off the calendar for Project 366!

SL TFTC

Quick grab and the kids loved the playground, especially the one just up the hill a bit further. 2 playgrounds within 100m! Great little spot. Thanks for the cache.

Found this morning whilst passing through the area for work. Workers doing work near club rooms but far enough away. Rain clouds on way. Good hide. Tftc??

Find # 1947

The morning turned out to be quite ok for a winters morning, so after completing some chores at home, I headed out for a solo cache run first heading towards Lilydale, then Chirnside Park, then Wonga Park, then back home.

I arrived nearby to a place that seemed familiar. I had been to this park before on the hunt for caches but had been unsuccessful. Today, there was no cricket or footy on and no muggles playing nearby so I had the place to myself. A nice quick find.

Thanks to team coxy for the cache.

An after work find. I had to wait for a muggle playing with his kid on the swings to move on, but then it was an easy find! No cricket today, although there were some footballers training on the top oval! TFTC

Blended in well took a couple of looks before I found. Lots of workers around the clubhouse today but not in the playground. Tftn

Out in a loan car while mine is in for major repairs so I came here for an easy find.

This was a nice, easy find at 13:35 thanks to excellent coordinates . There was no-one around today to hamper my activities but if I'd been here yesterday, it looks like I might have bumped into the Linears .

TNLNSL, although our BYO pen geocoin had a visit to mark the occasion. Thanks team_coxy.
