No response from CO.
No one has found it recently - seven DNFs since last find.
Time to go unless CO reappears.

found plenty of mosquitoes but not much more. Might bring my son next time to be able to spend a decent amount of time looking over the playground.
Was thinking of picking this up today, but looking at the recent logs...
I note the CO hasn't been around since August & his other cache is also AWOL, with no sign of replacement.
Adding Maintenance log to get the ball rolling, so to speak.

Hard one, no one around in this heat so had free run of the park but failed to find anything. 2 people and 30 minutes but nothing to show for it.
Second time I have spent 40 mins here with no result. Don't know what I'm missing as too many say it's easy! Got me beat!
Too many muggles in the park. Why is it that cachers continue to place caches in children’s playgrounds. Those of us who are male and getting on in years face all sorts of problems to explain why we are there if challenged. Please think first.
No need for a cache check - it's still there! Must've looked quite funny in the dark this morning getting down to it.. TFTC
After a decent look around, we couldn't find this cache.
Looking at the logs, I guess I'm not the only one.
Could we get a cache-check, please?

While doing a nearby multi I walked past this GZ so I stopped for a nice quick find.

Muggles nearby were playing hide and seek, so when they covered their eyes, it was the perfect time to retrieve and return TFTC

I did a feel search using the hint, no luck. I went around and looked from another angle, EUREKA! there it is! Thanks R13.
Quickly found but my are you small, thought I'd find something slightly larger in this location. No rug rats present, but escaped in the nick of time.
14/04/13. 3:37 PM. Cache #552. Current streak: 217 days. After finding "Haslam's", I was pleased to see that I would be able to look for this one as well without needing to move the car from my Blaxland Ave spot. Walked up to the playground and used the hint, rather than the sat photo (a little off) to make the find. Only 2 other muggles in the park today, about 50m away at the basketball court, and they were not watching, so retrieval and return was easy. TFTC }:)
I suppose it's some sort of milestone to be the first DNF for this cache! Had a reasonable look without success before being deluged with 3 carloads of muggly kids and their muggly mums who were looking at me a bit strangely! Will have to come back another day.
Having found 99 GCs we decided #100 had to be a special one. We had been keeping our eyes on this one for another trip out to the Homebush Bay area however with two Geokids in the team and it being in the neighbourhood of our friends we decided this was to be #100. The team's 1st attempt in the late afternoon proved difficult due to high muggle level with Geokid-Master5 unable to 'keep the secret' that is geocaching (much to Geomum's concern) with Geodad and Geokid-Miss1 deciding to stay in the car. Alas, no luck so it was off to dinner with said friends. After dinner - sun was still up so we tried again with Geodad and Geokid-Master5 quickly securing cache #100 while Geomum and Geokid-Miss1 waiting nearby. SL - TFTC.
Had I known it was on playground equipment, I would not of bothered.
SL and rntd safe.

Made very quick find; luckily as the local kids were closing in.
The hint was very helpful!

Only just managed to find this one in time to continue the streak.
Came into the park with Tia Maria, made the find quickly, signed on a log and headed off at 11PM. Phew!
Thanks for the cache, nice park.

We could hear the concert booming away on what had been a VERY hot day. At night it was nice and cool and no kid muggles to stop our hunt... which was good as it took a while!
Well you cant complain (too much) about Playground Nanos when you need them for the streak. 10pm at night was a good time to come visit this cache... especially with the cold change through after a record breaking heat day in Sydney... and the Big Day Out blaring the background! Took a while as I overthought the clue but spotted it from an odd angle in the end and Zhaoy made the grab.
Rated: for Overall Experience
Not my favourite location but with the playground deserted today, I had long enough to spot and grab without appearing too weird. Thanks.
Keeping the streak alive on a day when it was supposed to get to 43C was never going to be easy. I chose this one as I thought there'd be no one around and if I got in early I'd get it out of the way for the day. Playground caches huh? Used to be okay when the kids were younger but now it's not so easy. The surface was already hot at 10am but luckily I spotted it fairly quickly. Getting to it was a bit harder unsighted. Still I grabbed it and then did the signing and spent a long time getting it rolled back up again. Hope no one was watching. Probably stuck inside in the AC. Replaced as it was.
Thanks!
Thanks!
TFTC... Found with goughy2012

While in the area for work I thought I would come here but its a play ground and so I am going to give it a miss.

Third to sign the log. As a new geocacher, first cache found without "adult supervision"! Do not yet have a GPS but it was not needed, as clues provided were sufficient.
No muggles actually in the park at 9.30am on a damp morning but a few neighbours were moving cars in and out of nearby driveways.

A playground cache, I love these, A grown man clambering around a playground is always a good look.
Searched without using hint as Coords had me on opposite corner. No success, looked at hint and made the find fast afterwards. No muggles up yet and around this mourning, as you are exposed from all sides. SL, Thanks TFTC Randomguy13,
