Took a photo of where I thought it would be. Quite wet in the area. Didn't find the cache though.
Funny place for a cuppa, eagle eyed work mate spotted this as I was about to give up. TFTC
Went out last weekend to sort cache out and couldn't find it, so replaced it with a small cache under a punga. I see that some cachers have found the original cache. There are two caches there now - if you find either one and sign the log then you've found it!
Out and about fighting the elements while finding a few specific caches towards a challenge we are working on. Found the contents on the ground not near the hint item, urgent maintenance required on this one TFTC.
Took a bit of finding but the log comments helped. Unfortunately the log book is quite wet from the tea and a couple of cockroaches had made themselves at home. Appropriate container. TFTC
Went for a walk with helicopter1919. After he searched for about 5 mins I got bored and found it myself within 30 seconds. Tftc
Took a little scurrying. Plenty of mozzies too. And a couple of slugs in the container who obviously entered of their own free will! Removed some mouldy lollies and left some buttons! Nice container:-)
4.10pm - When I asked Gap whats next and he said ready for a cuppa, how wrong was I. Cache a bit exposed so recovered as best I could, also log book really damp. SLTFTC
after a quick hunt around a very familiar area from my childhood the cache was in hand! TFTC!
Couldn't find it and headed back to car. There it was sitting out in the open, by the creek. Have hidden it and will email CO of location. Marking as Needs Maintainence.
Found it took a while the GPS was putting us off but didn't take the kids too long 
the pencil is broken.. Need to carry a pen with us

It was getting late, gps was dying and I didn't feel like digging around in wet stuff. Also pet cemetery cat was staring at us from the undergrowth

Spotted this one from a distance. Unfortunately it had no camo (it was sitting out in the open) and the 'top' was missing which had let some water in. Luckily the log was dry, so I left my mark before a quick placement and a rough cover.
Thanks for bringing me here - I had no idea the park was so long.

It took a bit of looking and expanding the search area from where our devices were pointing but found it in the end and signed the log. TFTC
Found with renelm and Difool, logged as RAD to save log space, time and trees.
I am not much of a logwriter, so see renelms, and possibly Difools, log for details.
TFTC!

As others, the name made sense when we finally read the well-written explanation in the description and found it
Found at 13:21 - #4687 - together with aedk and Difool - logged as RAD to save space and time

Found it all but a bit damp all makes more sense now. Neat little area would normally have visited.
Today, I made another 30km bicycle geocaching excursion. As usual it was a bit late in the day and there were too many children around for me to look for many of the caches I planned to. This one I found, in this unusual little park; and upon finding it the name made a lot of sense. Thanks for the cache.
Cache is still there - will update hint though. Camo was rotted away, so tuck away out of sight again please. I'll replace the camo soon.
This was our very first try at GeoCaching, very muddy and slippery. Didn't have a hand-held GPS, only went on Googlemaps satellite image, but we still couldn't find it. Guess we just didn't know what we were looking for. And then my DD lost a little painted stone she was hoping to put in it. Fortunately I had more on my list, and we found others... I think now might just not be the best time of year for this particular one.
Mum wanted to visit her cousin on Ellicott Road... The dog and I are on our own for a couple of hours.
Yet another very damp, boggy arm of a non-descript park. By now, my shoes were soaked, so slipping down the bank and into the stream didn't warrant any swears. I tried to rely on the gps for this, but really needed the hint. Found the cache after using the given clues. Saw the cache container poking out of its camouflage... What a shame, as that would have added to the challenge. Took the TB. TFTC.

Had been ready for a cuppa all day, but it was a long day caching while waiting to pick up the daughter of the team. Dropped of TB
11143... Nice camo... got there with the good hints, as the coordinates were slightly out for us today... Certainly could do with a nice cuppa... thanks for the cache.
We wanted a significant cache for our 400th, and so it was. A lovely cool glade and a fun hide. A favourite from us. On reading back logs just now, I wonder if we took the item that was once a TB. We left various swag in its place. I'll see if I can track it down on the trackable page, but don't like the chances. We left a trackable that we had picked up earlier in the day, as it is a roomy cache, but on logging our day's finds we discovered it had just come from here! In fact it hadn't been logged as moving on. I guess that is the random nature of trackable travel.
Was completely stumped until I followed the details on the listing and it was soon spotted.
The other co-ords posted were no help and probably further away.
Very good different container. SL Left TB TFTC

We had previously visited this cache and knew it would be a good spot for a sizeable tb we were trying to move along. But when we arrived things looked a little suspicious - the cache container wasn't closed properly and a tb was missing. We actually found the tbs hitch hiker not far from the cache but it no longer has the trackable tag attached. Have put hitchhiker in the cache but it is no longer trackable. Decided not to leave the tb we had brought with us. Thankfully the rest of the cache seems to be ok.
this one was a must do on our morning's trip around our home city. Catching up with a few outstanding (pun intended) caches.
WP took us to just over the bridge, so we reverted to the description and found it quickly then. Enjoyed the cache container, and left a TB

Almost gave up on this one as the GPS was all over the shop - but a sister to my cache 'Time for a cuppa' - well it had to be found... and find I did. Nice camo. t4tc
Nifty container. Easy find today with no-one around. Live fairly close but have never been to this part of the park. Thanks very much kiwiteachernz
Needed to read this well as the GPS was in wander mode - probably hanging out for a cuppa! TFTC
Pretty quick find today, definitely in need of a cuppa! TFTC!

Out for a walk with the dog and fancied a cuppa! Just perfect and clever cache container. Tftc
Nice container, caching opens ones eyes to all the little hidden parks/green areas around the burbs. [8]
Followed another person leading to GZ and were having the, is it another cacher or is a muggle conversation. then the other person turned around and went back to where he came from so continued on our search and soon had the nicely sized cache in our hands and unfortunately didn't have time to stop for the cuppa as this was only the third cache of a hoped for 12 we intended to find tonight. TFTC
A great cache nicely hidden. Picked up the Danish flag micro geocoin to move it on. TFTC
11.55am. Took a while. Which tall tree??? And what bridge??? But I got there. A good hide and the container was big enough for me to leave a couple of bugs.
Thank you. David.
Thank you. David.
Spotted the entrance to this park off Newcastle road on google earth, have been meaning to check it out. Unique cache container alright! Grabbed GC and got out before the mozzies ate me alive!
GPS was way off for us today, which meant the search took a little longer than it should have. I used to live in this area and frequently walk the dog in this locale regularly when I was a teenager, so I new the area pretty well. An interesting container, and really large, especially for an urban park cache earns this cache a favorite from us. Dropped off Geocoin to encourage others to seek this spot out. TFTC.
I struggled with this one, couldn't find the cache at GZ. Read the description, kyb3r! C'mon! A nice easy find after that
