took me while but I found it eventually

Had to overcome my spider phobia for this one..in my terror did not write in log,,,. TFTC!
 
30-Jul-13
Lovely little park. Enjoyed the walk here while my car was being serviced
 
18-Jul-13
Found after a quick search on a rainy day muggle-free.
 
10-Jul-13
I had come to this area to attempt the nearby “22084” (GCVN8V) but there was a muggle at GZ waiting for a bus so I walked on to pick up this one. I don’t like lurking behind bushes in children’s playgrounds but, fortunately, the park was empty and it was a quick and easy find. SL, TFTC mad056.
 
01-Jul-13
A cute park, lots of muggles walking past! Took a stamp and left a few treasures. A good sized cache for travel bugs and geocoins - that's hard to find these days with so many micros being placed. TFTC
 
27-Jun-13
A nice little park, perfect for a geocache Smile found it after a few minutes of searching. TFTC
 
20-May-13
Found it with minidalek.
 
19-May-13
I was in the area to drop some things off, and stopped here for a quick cache. The phone's GPS was a bit stuck, but it didn't take long to see the likely hide and indeed soon had CIH. I took the TB and signed the log. On the way back to my car I saw some mugglelets walking their dogs towards the park, so I got out just in time. TFTC!

1:00:00 PM: (16 of 22) Find#4503
A short trip up to Sydney from Canberra for work and a great excuse to find some caches along the way. On my return trip now but thought I do some caching before I left.. Also change into my "play" clothes now my work was done, and the cover was good for this purpose too.
 
11-May-13
Great hiding spot in a nice little park. Dropped off TB. Took spider ring and left pen. TFTC.

Soo many spiderwebs!

The Great Scouts Australia Geocaching Competition #54
Hard bike ride, easy find. TFTC
 
04-Apr-13
Came by on a drizzly day after some work around the corner. Found the easy way in without the webs and located a dry container in good nick. I've been here before for a previous hide. Did not know it was archived.
TFTC #813
 
02-Apr-13
A quick find, although I needed to use the hint to confirm where I thought it may be and to save time as I was actually in a hurry to get home this trip.
 
24-Mar-13
Had a spare 10 minutes, in the area and thought I would give it a go. Still trying to get cobwebs out of my hair but a relatively quick find.
TFTC
 
20-Mar-13
A nice easy find while on my way home from work but the location is pretty ordinary. I can't decide if this is a park masquerading as a rubbish tip or the other way round! Anyway, thanks mad056 for the cache. TNLN.
 
10-Mar-13
Great hide. Didn't like the look of it on the approach - it looked like a small open urban park overlooked by houses and streets. But there was some great cover to hide a cache in. SL TNLN TFTC
 
03-Mar-13
Nice, simple cache to find whilst dropping my Venturers home from a day out geocaching. TFTC
 
24-Feb-13
Had to wait for muggles to leave, but there was a seat so I could wait in comfort.

After the coast was clear, searched for a while before finding, didn't take too long.

Sat on seat to sign, blew some bubbles for a while (Very humid today), then put back.

Nice park and location.

Thanks for the cache!
 
08-Feb-13
Nice cache, TFTC
 
02-Feb-13
Found the now archived Kathleen Kapers (that I had originally found some time ago) still hanging around and it had been signed recently! Looked further afield and soon found the correct cache. The cache was in good condition. TFTC
 
24-Jan-13
A short detour from the morning drive to the office soon had this cache in hand. I actually had a crack at it late last year but at that time there was a muggle hanging around the edge of the park and lots of kids in the school ground across the road. No such problems this time around. Many thanks mad056.
 
23-Jan-13
Was passing through and I knew of this one recently coming online.

GPS would not settle, but by the description I was able to find it soon enough anyway.

Thanks for the hide mad056
 
10-Jan-13
Needed a cachie today so while on way to Laser Skirmish at Chatswood, called in to this one.
I'm sure I have found one in this park before, but not this one.

It's a cute little park, and very deserving of a cache. Just my opinion, but I thought that the location was easier to find, and in less difficult terrain than the 2.5 stars suggested.
 
09-Jan-13
We had thought we would be in another part of town today but ended up near so so needing a cache for the day we made short work of this one during lunch. No muggles today. On getting to the part we did relocal the previous cache which was muggled before we made it find. SL TN LN TFTC

A nice little park. TFTC mad056!

24/12/12 11:33 AM. Cache #315. Current streak: 106 days. Only had time for a quick one today and this was the nearest park n grab to home; only needed the iPhone in this occasion. Sat in the shade to sign it after clearing out the ibises (ibii?). TFTC Smile

Quick find, replaced log within its 'camo'. Tftc
 
02-Dec-12
A quick visit to the Xmas event in Sydney, then north up the coast with Bettyboo3747.
As we were driving out to the event this was the first one we dropped into. A bit of scrambling around and the camoed cache was soon in hand.
Thanks, Robmc.

# 2294. Caching with Robmc today and we were on our way to the 2012 NSW Christmas Event. This was the first cache for the day. There certainly was a lot of rubbish amongst the bushes and it wasn't much fun trying to work out whether there was a cache hidden amongst it all. Luckily Rob found its hiding spot in an area with less rubbish. I took what I thought was a trackable but it was in fact just a key ring. No trackables were sighted today. TFTC
 
01-Dec-12
Took TB log to follow.
 
23-Nov-12
Dropped by after work today. Had been here for another short-lived cache a year or two back. There was a guy in a truck in the cul-de-sac who probably wondered what I was doing in and around the bushes, but I found the cache in short order. Thanks mad056.
 
20-Nov-12
Easy find, SL TFTC.
Please note there is a lot of rubbish in the vicinity of GZ
 
19-Nov-12
Nice quick find could only see two of the three travel bugs though
 
18-Nov-12
Nice camo and cool little park. Tftc
 
12-Nov-12
Went to place my own Trackable 'Road to Russia' in the cache Smile
 
10-Nov-12
I wasn't after the travel bug that made a brief appearance, but annoying that I missed it by a day Smile
 
09-Nov-12
So close to home, but so little time! I was going to leave this for the weekend but when I saw that it might contain the Cacher 5 TB I knew I had to stop by tonight.

Cache found in good condition so SL and grabbed C5. Thanks.
 
08-Nov-12
Dropping off at TB. Anyone want it?? Wink
 
07-Nov-12
Thank you to the person with made it hard to retrieve this cache had to help supasmile to dig in and retrieve it . Guys please don't ruin the geocaching experience please put back exactly as found.
 
07-Nov-12
Found it whilst Porko2003 helped out. Ensure you put this cache EXACTLY the way you find it. Gets annoying to dig deep.
 
06-Nov-12
Quick find. What a pity this nice little park has so much rubbish in it. SL Left TB

Logging TB out and another in

Quick find during a very hot lunchwalk. TFTC
 
04-Nov-12
Last time we visited this reserve we were lucky enough to grab a FTF on the cache that used to be here. Much slower effort this time. Cacher trail to GZ spotted and the container was soon found. Thanks Mad056.
 
04-Nov-12
Quick find. TFTC
 
03-Nov-12
TFTC TN left bubbles and a TB that I have had for way too long so hope this cache is visited again soon so it can move along on its travels.
 
03-Nov-12
Lovely park visit. Nice shady spot to sit. Good quality cache.
 
03-Nov-12
Out and about on a beautiful Sunday with Footyfanatics and pdbunce. Dropped the Harvestfest Bounty TB. TFTC
 
03-Nov-12
Found it in a sunny Sunday out with evangt and pdbunce . Dropped off kitty hawk tb. TFTC
 
03-Nov-12
When I first saw this one come up I thought if I was at home I would try for the FTF, but being in the city with a day of work in front of me - I knew it wouldn't wait until the evening. It was actually surprising that Alfyboy took over an hour to publish the log!

I looked at GZ on the Google map and it didn't look familiar but looked nice and close to one of our regular shopping spots in Coxs Rd. So this morning we (I) decided to get our fruit and veg up there and I ducked off to get the cache. When I got there I remembered the park and the original cache - I always uncheck found caches from my searches and had completely forgotten this spot.

A nice new cache and perfect on a drizzly morning like today which meant the nearby swing was empty.
Left TB. TFTC!
 
03-Nov-12
Nice hiding spot. Hint really helped.
 
02-Nov-12
I thought this spot looked familiar!

#1515 - A cache published 1.4km from my work? This one will be found!

I was rather busy at work this morning, and If it wasn't a txt from Yurt to ask if I was attempting this cache, I would have lost out! I got in the car, raced over and parked near a familiar park. Checked the hint and zero'd in on the cache. Made the find straight away and checked the log to find it empty Big Grin FTF for me Wink I SL, TNLN and replaced everything again. Thanx for placing the cache in this nice area. Lucky there were no muggles at this time of the morning, TFTC.

Found by Nanny and Bo on a warm Friday afternoon.
A good standard cache.

STF its only 8 mins after Alfyboy. found it with skyejam. dropped TBs and coin. Thanks mad056 for leading us here. Smile
 
02-Nov-12
I'd come down to investigate an OX cache at Pymble and decided to do some of the recent ones in the area. I'd already had a message from Yurt that he'd sent Alfyboy here earlier, so I knew the FTF was long gone. This park looked familiar and I remember there used to be a cache dangling near the entrance. At GZ, I crawled around and checked all the bags of rubbish. There are many. Fortunately , the cache uses a more natural cover though. SL and took a GC and a TB. There are still a couple of TBs there. TFTC
 
02-Nov-12
Nice hide TFTC hint helped, took one TB. FIRST NON-PREMIUM TO FIND Very Happy
 
02-Nov-12
When this was published I noted it was in a location that had held a cache not all that long ago and alerted alfyboy to its existence to see whether it was worth chasing the FTF. Of course if I hadn't I might have been a chance as he'd missed it. But with all the action here today I think it was wise to come later. Although I did get there around the time school got out and some kiddies and their mums headed into the park just after I arrived. Not to worry GZ is out of their sight and I worked my way to the placement and made the find. Good to see a cache larger than a micro these days, getting rare.

Signed and took a TB.

Thanks!
 
02-Nov-12
Oh it was a very close to catch Alfboy by 8 mins. Never mind as long as sevabo and I were STF. sevabo found the cache before me. Dropped geocoin. Thanks mad056.
