Cache archived due to safety concerns. The park is being used by drug users and used syringes have been found near the cache location. I may recheck this location in 6 months and unarchive.
This cache can go on the "archived caches that are still there" list. For the diehards.

Found it with ChippyKa11. Nice easy one for our very first adventure. But like others logged, be careful of black plastic bags with syringes. Very nice view over the golf course. Took Frippy's Back to Caching Geocoin to continue on it's travels. Really - TFTC, a great one to get us started!
*NOTICE*
It appears that an intravenous drug user is using this park to shoot up. He/She seems responsible enough and is disposing of the needles in a proper disposal container but for the safety of the geocaching community this cache will be archived as soon as a I can retrieve it and any trackable items.

The little park is not so clean, but the view on the golf and surroundings is great. I released Frippy's Back to Caching Geocoin in there today, keep it moving by public transport TFTC. -geppp
Weird little spot. I think this was the last little push I needed to finally give this course a go. Thanks for the cache.
I found it whilst Porko2003 was searching in the wrong area. Brought brother with us to assist at night. Nice clue really helped, think creatively! Word of advise if you do come at night please beware SYRINGES AROUND IN BLACK CONTAINERS!
Was dangerous at night me and supasmile got our hands on a box which we thought was the cache but it was syringes so beware.
Played this one after a nearby Bells Angels cache find. Thought this might be a hole in one, but I laid up short and was left a short putt to finish. Nice one Bells Angels. TFTC
Funnily enough this was my 9th cache on my 37 cache to do list today....
At first I couldn't see anything that had any connection to a V8, then the penny dropped, ahhh, down there....thanks BA, a lovely spot. I was going to watch some golfers on the green, but they seemed to have your skill levels and keep hitting the ball from one side to the other..and with all those caches to do I left them to it.

Thanks for bringing me to this amazing oasis. By the time I located the right spot I was able to watch golfers 'on the ninth'... A fitting name. TFTC. Thanks to this cashe I was able to do my daily 4km walk ??
TFTC,
My GPS crashed yesterday morning and I am now using paper printouts and Geowife's car GPS to get close and am relying on the hints and comments from previous finders to continue with my challenge till the unit is returned. It worked yesterday and today so I am happy to keep trying. Swaped a PINGO trackable trying to get to the South Pole and visited others.

Yep. That would be a golf green right there. No one on it today as I made the find. I left a TB and took the stray Titleist NXT that was sitting nearby (obviously, someone over shot the mark). Thanks again BA.
Well this 'looked' like it was just a short and easy detour off the Cook's River cyclepath until ...
What a strange place and use for such a location. I wonder if anyone ever comes here other than to look for this cache.
Another classic Bells Angels cache I reckon.

I was told by Lonely Rooster the cycleway was flat. But the detour to this cache is anything but. Thank goodness for gears on bikes.

Started this cache from the bottom (on the golf course) but then realized we where wrong and had some fun climbing the rocks
Great hint.

Did the cycling tour along Cook's river to collect some caches. Beautiful day at the best bike track I have discovered so far in Sydney! Will return to continue to cycle to Olympic Park! Dropped off my fellow German TB TFTC
Found with my boy Zalgar.
Sorry, Im so far behind with my logs Ive decided to cut'n'paste to catch up!
TFTC! Zhaomin from China

One or two of my CRC caches needed a quick visit so this was the logical caches of the day choice. Thought about rushing out for the FTC but I had already done a big multi that day so saved it for later. We took the wrong approach from below to begin with before reading the cache page and finding the right way What is that thing doing there?! hehehe Nice. Now off for some Munzee deploying / Maintenance!

Found this one today at 5pm; there was still a few golfers on the course at this time, so I had to wait until the green had cleared, before I could examine GZ. I had previously spent 10 minutes examining what I thought was GZ, my thinking being reinforced upon the discovery of a peculiar 'V' shaped stick!
Eventually, I found the cache in a logical(!) spot, and stayed to watch a golfer fluff their 2nd shot (should have been a straightforward pitch & run up to the pin), and blow her par. I silently commiserated with her...caching's a bit like golf, sometimes!
TFTC, BA!

I was at Glebe doing a few Rinsemesocks and Bells Angels caches when this one popped up on the email.
I was finished for the day so I thought, ok just one more on the way home.
Arrived at GZ to make an easy find. I like the hint.
As I was leaving another cachet shows up, it was Rinsemesocks! How ironic to meet the man after I had been doing his caches today.
Great views across the course.

Only silver. I'm sorry that I've disappointed you bells, my parents, the public. Really, it was the social media that made me miss it. It was nothing to do with the kids taking their time to put their shoes on, etc that delayed us by those few vital seconds.
We arrived at the GZ seeing it empty, but up pops a person with a big smile on his face. Darn it, normally I'm happy to see a fellow cacher, but not now. Oh well, missed it by that much.
Loved the location. Great for the kids climbing up and down the rocks. Nice spot bells.
cheers.
