An interesting little suburban park. The light was quickly fading by the time I came past tonight, but on the plus side, at least I had the place to myself. I walked to GZ, and there didn't appear to be a lot of places for something magnetic. I checked the usual spots that didn't need me to get on my hands and knees, but not much around the place. I continued looking, and sure enough, the cache was found. The cache was fine tonight, so I'm not sure what all the issues others were having with this one. And no idea what [@azzo7777](http://coord.info/PRQR72Y) found, as it was just a small Eclipse container (unless there are two caches here?). Thanks Bushwalker53 for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.
 
02-Jan-20
Nice easy find but not the cache in a previous finders photo? It’s a mint container?

Adelaide Trip Day 4. After a quiet first day in Adelaide, I headed out today for a afternoon of caching. I confined myself to between Unley road and Goodwood road, right down to Greenhill road. I have cached around this area before, and I am impressed at the number of caches in interesting spots that have become available since then.

Thanks.

23-Apr-19
All was quiet when we arrived at this park. The cache was a quick find because of accurate coordinates and the cache being out in the open. After signing the log, we rehid the cache covered by natural camo. Thanks Bushwalker53 for the cache.
 
30-Mar-19
Found while out & about on this pleasant afternoon collecting a few caches...
Had to sit & wait for muggles to leave...once they did the cache was easily spotted...
Not too many places it could be there...

Tftc easy find
 
01-Mar-19
Sometimes you get lucky and wonder why so meany DNF have been placed before you, found this laying out in the open, cache is all good. put back up and in, hopefully thats where it should be.

No real plan for today other than to collect a few caches south that I solved whilst back in Tasmania for the summer period, walking around in 40 degrees isn’t much fun although a substantial amount if water was taken which helped a lot.

Thanks for the cache.

School tennis at Scotch College this morning so ducked away for some quick finds when the son wasn’t playing.
I wasn’t expecting to find this one given the previous DNS’s, but it was exactly where it should have been, although incumbent windy had left a pretty good tangle of protection. It didn’t take too long before cache was in hand.

11-Feb-18
Found it! Great spot in quite a sparse park (typical Mitcham Council ) where I wouldn't have thought you could hide something. TFTC
 
30-Jan-18
Always nice to avenge an old DNF. I'm sure I looked there last time I was at GZ, but it was at night, and this park is very dark so I guess I just missed it. Luckily the park was empty, and there were no lights on in the houses with a direct view, which is a good thing because in my white gi pants I probably stood out like a beacon. Many eight legged friends were there to greet me. I have named them Incy Wincy #1 through #100. TFTC Bushwalker53!
 
22-Oct-17
Grabbing a cache for the day on my way home from work. Park was empty at this time of night so the only difficulty was watching the houses to make sure no one was watching me.

Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi.
Had just made the find of a nearby cache and saw this was nearby and also on the way back to the car so decided to swing by and make the find.
Wandered to GZ and after a short search located a well hidden cache. Signed log and replaced.

Whilst the Rat set up their lunch and a cuppa. Tftc

My final day in Adelaide before returning to Melbourne. Was in the local area and on the hunt for smilies. Parked adjacent to the park and walked to GZ. A quick survey of the area revealed the hide. Appreciate your hides Bushwalker53!

Caching my way home from the city, a nice quiet park. Found a nice fountain pen at GZ, if anyone lost one recently.
 
24-Jun-17
Having been scared out of finding this one last time due to park-dwelling Muggles and those house windows looking at me [:o] If Anatidaephobia is the irrational fear of being watched by a Duck [:o)] then what is the Phobia name for fear of being watched by House Windows? or more to the point the "Curtain-Twitcher's" behind them lol Big Grin "Stealth" was employed here, believe me. The search was made easier with no Muggles in the park at the time Wink

I am pleased to have finally nabbed this one as it was a green spot on my map for way too long, it is now a yellow Smiley Smile SL at 11:15 on Sun 25 June 2017. The cache and contents are good and dry. Placed a Moisture-Muncher inside just to be sure... TFTC Bushwalker53 Smile

I had a couple of hours to kill before going to a Leap Day event so what better way to fill in time...find a few caches. Big Grin
The park was free of muggles tonight so I was able to search without looking too suss. Big Grin The park looked like it could do with a bit of TLC right now. [?]
My caching mojo has been spot on tonight and I made the find in the obvious spot. [^]
Thanks for the cache Bushwalker53. Smile
 
28-Feb-16
A nice quick find, and a good spot for my TB to visit. TFTC

Furby Owl visited this park in Clapham, ready for more adventures
 
17-Feb-16
This was a fun cache! It took a couple of minutes to find after reading the description and a few previous logs to work out where this tricky little blighter was hiding!

Really interesting little park at night time - it kinda feels weird that so many neighbours have gates straight into the park.

TFTC Bushwalker53 Smile

Got this one on the second visit to GZ. Good to have one of our closest unfound trads off the list. TFTC

I was in the wrong spot for a bit, but after reading some logs it all made sense. Felt very vulnerable to being watched, but luckily no one was around. Tftc!

Found number 60 of 62 on a geocaching Sunday. Found it on the way back from the Sellicks Hill giant Buddha statue (Guan Yin statue) of Nanhai Putuo Temple in Sellicks Beach, SA.

Cache was not as easy as I thought. It took me a while, but finally found it. I was searching a small-sized cache, while the cache turned out to be micro. Before too many mosquitoes bit me, I quickly signed the log book and placed the container back.

Thanks for the 100 Finds Series, Bushwalker53.

Easy find but you feel so exposed to all the neighbors. Tftc.

Thought this was going to be a DNF as coords were putting me a bit down to where I eventually found it. Cache is intact and a easy find in retrospect. Nice park I've never visited before.

After discharging concrete asked head office what plant they wanted to me to drive to for reloading. They said they call back. Quick check of phone cache 2 streets away. Middle of day no kids so I'm walking around park wondering why I can't find cache. Recheck log it's a small was looking for a XS. Light bulb moment. Cache in hand log signed. Back in truck waiting for my instructions like a good boy
