DNF. It is a great spot and loved seeing all ducks, geese, 3 swans and seagulls all close up. Hope the cache is still there.
Many DNF's and a NM unanswered for over a month. Time to start the exit process on this one.
Came here with another geocacher who previously found this cache. It is definitely missing.
Tried in all the spots shown by Google Maps and intense searching and avoided been seen many kids in nearby playground. I'd hazard a guess this one's been muggled, judging by all the DNF's in a row. May be worth a check by the CO
Looked for ages for this one but to no avail. Can we get a check to see if it is still there?
Second time back here now and still can't find it - reread all the finds but still no idea - a clue please anyone????
Sneaky hide! Looked for this before to no avail! After a bit of experience came back and had CIH within a minute! I swear I looked there last time!
My previous visit to find this cache ended in a DNF however today with a bit more experience I found it quickly. A lovely little park...TFTC Woolly.
I have never been able to 'quack' this tricky little cache before [:o]
Usually too many muggles !!
Not just on the playground, but on the court !! [:o]
This morning was a different scene !!
Sure the ducks were there.
Somehow, Somewhere, watching me [:o]
But the usual crowd of non-waterproof muggles were not here
So I could get down to the business of finding this cache
And there it was
Well out of reach of me webbed fingers !!??
A stick did the trick.
However an alternative retrieval method was discovered once I had the cache in me hands
TFTC .... QUACK !!

Last find for the day by the Rat and another sneaky one at that. Stopped to admire the ducks but there more seagulls than ducks or swans. Nice park and it looks great for the kiddies. TFTC
This had us wandering around for a bit.
Then the rat remembered one her hides.
Cache was soon in hand.
This is a lovely park.tftc

Found with Meetup friends. One of the group had found this one a while back, and even with her helpful hints and five of us searching, it took us a while *giggle* Good one! TFTC
I looked too suspicious with all the kids and tennis players around. Especially since I am the pastor at the neighboring church! Will try again.
Found! It's definitely there and makes sense for the location. great tricky little hide. Signed the log and returned. TFTC
Came close to giving up. And then we spottedbit. Log book needs replacing soon. Very clever hide! I love a cache that makes us think! Tftc
Had my bike on the car when I went to work this morning so thought I'd go for a ride & find a few caches unfortunately this was the first and a DNF I don't know if it's not there if I was just not seeing it.
Looked at it countless times but it didn't register with us that it was the cache. Great hidey spot. Perseverance pays off in this situation
Went to find this one with Hollea.D and when I found it it was a different one to the one she'd found! One on either side of the tennis court. I took a photo and attached it. See if you can find both!
Found at 18:48 with Olga.
I think this is the 5 thy time we have gone for our last find.
Don't put it back the wrong way round. Like Olga did

Lots of muggles around as it was Sunday. Left and came back. Nice hide. Great starting point for a walk down linear Park.
Out with Mattycat for a run of night caching, clever little hiding spot but the beams of the torchlight soon gave away the little hide TFTC Woolly_
Out in the dark with Mr and Mrs Froghoppin,
ducked in for a find between muggles in nearby carpark

GrimRaider and I visited this lovely park today as the starting point for a cache walk down the Torrens River. So many birds and ducks here today. A nice little hide too - I hadn't seen this type before. We found a little lizard sitting on the cache. We thought it was dead at first until it scuttled off. A lovely spot with a neat little hide - TFTC !
This is a nice change of pace for this type of hide and I like it indeed! I may well have to purloin it for a cache back in Canberra [:-)]. Great photos of the birds, great wild thing exhibition by the Wood Ducks and a very pleasant area to cache and drink coffee! TFTC and a great spot and a new cache trick; favourite point from me today Wooly!!
Regards, GrimRaider

A lovely place to bring kids to feed the ducks. Thanks woolley another place that I never knew about.
Found on our second attempt, much fewer muggles on a Monday with school gone back. Nice tricky hide :c) TFTC!!
Good one! Nice park too!...

Found with 2011*turtle. We walked much further than necessary to find this cache, but it was enjoyable to see the duck pond. TFTC
Easy find while visiting my sister. Nice park. Took a button left a Canadian coin.
With a little more time to spare & knowing where not to look we found it on the 2nd attempt. Great hide. TFTC.
