No sign of anything here anymore, given the size of cache I suspect along with the others it is long gone. CO hasn't been online for quite some time so not sure if this cache will be checked/fixed up.
: confirmed - empty asian food container only; no sign of it remotely being a cache. nought but traces of sand inside, like it could have been used to hold yabbies. cannot make out of it is the same container in photos. needs checking/reseeding.
Found an empty chinese food container at gz. Not sure if it is the cache. Maybe it is what previous two finders found. Maybe the co could confirm.
Think this one could be missing, checked all the obvious spots. Might be worth a check
There was plenty of bird life around the water today. This is a picturesque spot and I was pleased to quickly locate the hide.
Thanks for the cache.

2nd attempt. Fewer muggles this time, mostly at a distance. Suspected hiding place last time but muggles fishing directly infront. Logbook looked very soggy but someone had left a piece of paper in a separate plastic bag, thank you... I had accidently left my backpack at home with both wallet and pen inside, dah! Thank goodness for mobile phones...
Found on a family bike outing, which included one family member's debut without training wheels!
Lots of muggles around today, but a nice easy find out of the sight of prying eyes. TFTC

Lovely area and beautiful location. Didn't see cache at first. Had to reach in deeper to get it. Picked up pirate coin and will move it on.

Missed it on the last two visits but now realise I would have nearly touched it each time! It was there where I was looking I hadn't been reaching far enough. Good hiding spot.
A superb late winter's day saw many a person out and about today. We quickly located the cache at GZ, then the kids spent some time building cubbys in the nearby bushes. Thanks for bringing us here to a place we should visit more often. Dropped off a coin we've had for far too long.
Tftc, new log looks intact but will probably fill quite fast. Took TB, left ziplocked trinket. Nice easy find early in the night
Our first find on a morning geocache adventure, after a coffee at Madeline's. Well hidden, but easy to find if you know where to look.
Found this today. There was an old waterlogged log and also a new log in there that was dated 11/7/13. Signed. Left a temporary tattoo in place of a plastic ring which my niece liked.. TFTC!
Lovely spot. Didn't know the park was this big! Lots of muggles!! Awkward getting the cache out of its hiding spot.
Found it whilst out with the Geo-family having a picnic. Could not sign the log because it is waterlogged (as per last few comments). Chuppa-Chup is still there. TFTC.
Found @ 14:00 while spending the afternoon with the family in the park today. TFTC TNLNSL
Found, but as others have noted, it really needs some TLC. There is a lolipop in the cache which I wouldn't touch! And I couldn't sign the log because it is so waterlogged.
Nice hide, but as reported the poor cache is soaked. A nice spot for my fortieth find thanks!

Was out on my morning run and checked to see if this survived the recent rain. Cache was there and not floated away. Had some water in it and log book was wet. Can the next finder please throw our the chuppa chup that is in there. I only realised after that I should have taken it. As per caching guidelines please don't leave food in caches.
Found cache, however log book soaked. Needs new zip lock bag taken photo of cache contents to validate find.
A quick grab on the way home from work.
I love walking around this area, peaceful.

Quick find. Glad it was hidden on such a way that it can be retrieved with muggles around. There were plenty of them. TFTC
A 630am find while waiting for a walking event to start. A couple of duckles nearby but no muggles.
Two caching trips to Jells, and only one cache to show for it... and it's a trad. I'm sad.
Did have a good time, though

I was part way through a nearby multi (or was I ) when I stopped by here for the nice easy find at 09:45. Thankfully there was no one sitting there to explain anything to, although there was plenty of birdlife to admire .
TNLNSL, although our BYO pen geocoin had a visit to mark the occasion. Thanks Turps_72.

Easy find. Not many muggles in this part of the park. Unfortunately not many birds either. TFTC. Log book full. Left bird stamp.
Nice quick find just explained to the people sitting their it was a treasure hunt. Tftn
The find is easy, muggles is the tough bit. A fair bit of waiting and checking shoelaces!
Geo kid #2 found this one very quickly after scooting down the hill. Log book full though. Needs a new one please. Left small blue skittles for Aldi tag.
Thanks for the fun.

One of the few I did not find today. It did not help that the gps said the gz was in the middle of the "beach". There are a couple of obvios places mentioned in the hint, but no luck.
Called by to drop off a TB we picked up in New Zealand. It is now ready to commence it's journey round Australia.
Found during a bike ride. Was an easy find with little muggles around. But upon opening, I realised I didn't bring a pen! I contemplated asking some muggles for a pen but I would risk them watching me after I had written in the log. So I decided to borrow the log book and bike up to the restaurant up the hill to borrow a pen. I logged it there and returned the log book to the cache.
Took TB.

What a neat little hiding place this was. There were various other people/families sitting on the ledge near the waters edge, but I was still easily able to find, sign and return the cache without them noticing what I was doing - I was just another person enjoying the view of the lake. TFTC.
Nice little spot! Was out walking the Puppy and Jac7 spotted this one. Took pink star, left Donald Duck key, eraser, skull & crossbones (and multi-colored light).
Cute spot! Took pink star and left skull n cross bones and light keyring (as per hmatt's entry )
Easily found. First cache I've found with no log book, which was just as well as I forgot a pen. Took nothing, left nothing. TFTC. Great park.
Ran for the first time in over a month. Glad to have finished up with this find with running buddy TurnerFamily.. TFTC!
Went running at Jells with E10707 but it was too hot and hard going so we shortened the run to find this cache. TFTC.
Found and logged at 16:00 on a nice stroll through Jell's park.

Geogranddaughter found cache whilst Mum and I stood close by so it was not obvious what we were doing! First attempt a short while before failed as family with dogs were sitting right at the spot!! Thought we would miss out but were happy when family moved on. Good hide. TFTC
Had to wait near gz until muggle and dog family left. They were about 30cm from the spot! Tftc.
Second for the day at Jells. The compass was pointing directly at a family sitting literally on the cache site. They didn't seem in a hurry to leave so we contemplated creating a diversion by stealing one of their bikes but opted to feed the ducks instead.
Took glowing angel
Left rubber ball

a quick stroll through the park and then to GZ. It was good that the Geowife came along because she was able to spot it quickly as hubby was blind as a bat. Picked up 2 TBs. TFTC Turps 72.
