oakpark Noble Park North, Victoria, Australia

Finally managed to get to check this out and can confirm it has gone walk about. As I cannot get to this area without making a special trip I have decided it is bet to archive than replace. Someone else can have the honour of creating a new cache.

Looked all over the place. Kids had a brief play but this cache is no longer there.

Dnf

If the gps is correct then caches shouldnt be hidden in childrens playgrounds. Not a good look in todays society having adults crawling around in kids playgrounds.

Searched everwhere no luck

After dropping off my wife for her Myki run from Berwick to Caulfield via each station, my daughter and I went caching.
This was our second DNF, and I suspect we were looking in the correct spot and that it is missing. My daughter did enjoy the playground however.
Thanks anyway yorsys

No luck here today sadly.

With a trip overseas within 48 hours I decided to undergo a quick tb mission with my eldest son who wanted to do a bit of pokemon go. This has made caching a win win situation as he was of late a little tired of geocaching trips with Dad! I identified that the other cache in this park had one available and I couldn't walk past this without making a find that would be difficult if I didn't have a child accompanying me. tftc

Got a day off for my birthday, why not grab a few caches!
No one at this park today so managed a nice quick find

Log almost full
Bring your geokid if you've got one, nice park here
TFTC

It's hot outside today.

Clever hiding spot. Tftc

Arrived near GZ early on a hot afternoon and realised that we were followed up the hill by a couple of school kids with a takeaway. They then sat only a few feet away. So we decided it might be better if we went off to the other nearby cache. About 20 min later we saw them depart and so decided to return. Of course they hadn't bothered to clean up their mess even though there was a bin only a few feet away! I felt it necessary to clean up before searching. At actual search was quite quick and fortunately there was no-one else in the vicinity. This was just as well as I don't like caches hidden in playgrounds. SL and replaced.

Out in this part of the world to visit a friend in the nearby hospital across the road and needed a breath of fresh air. I could find nothing where the satelliyes were indicaring it should be, but used some geosense and soon found it. I always feel uncomfortable when caches are placed at playgrounds TFTC yorsys

No luck for me here. I spent way too long on the last cache so only had time for a quick look here but it wasn't to be this time. Thanks anyway.

Out looking for a new kitchen today and picked up 3 trads. on our journey
This was the second. Cache found in excellent condition. Many thanx to Yorsys

**Date: 23 July 2016
Time: 10:56 am
Find #7845**

Headed out today on this remarkably cold but sunny winters day with SedgwickDave and 88andy88 to attempt to clear out some of the remaining caches in our 10km from home zone. Overall, a quite successful morning and early afternoon.

A quick find here in a fairly obvious spot.

**Thanks to yorsys for the cache. TNLN**

Found @10:40 #5605
Out on a morning caching run of the 10k with Ahomburg & 88Andy88. With expected rain it was great to have a sunny winters day but with a cold wind chill.

Spot on coords and with cold conditions there was not a muggle around which made this retrieval possible today.

TFTC yorsys

Made the most of a rather chilly day which made for some easier searching around the gz today. The cache was soon found after a short search and after signing the log we headed off to grab a couple of other hides in the area while we were here. TFTC yorsys.

Late night pick up, after a long early morning at work and day with little Ruverbug.
This has been on my list for a while but i don't usually cache at night near home, so it's been left until now.
TFTC yorsys

Yay. Nice easy find thank you

My third attempt looking for this one. A nice easy find at night time with no muggles in sight. TFTC

My 16th and final cache of the day. Having driven back from the Mornington Peninsula and waiting for the partner to return to the area from an away trip, I found myself with 30 minutes to spare. Having managed to arrive here last time when a party of mini-muggles descended, I decided to return and look for the cache properly under the cover of darkness. This time I had the cache in hand in no time. Glad to get the smiley on the map for this! TFTC!

Very quiet in the park this morning. Thanks for the cache.

Quick find at 2320hrs at night with no one around. TFTC

Once a GZ my suspicions where correct but about 5m from where I was directed by Nav. Quick and easy find. Tftc.

Way to go Tally Tiger on 200 cache finds.

What a nice park that I never knew exjsted despite driving by here frequently!

Quick find just before the little muggles come out of school and populate this place.

Number 200 wow nice park in a high traffic area
TFTC

With Zedaycee and Angelique Anja.

Found it

Found it. TFTC!

I waited over halve an hour last time I visited this spot for a family to go home but they would not so here I am today to make the find. Thanks yorsys.

Found tonight on this wet and windy night, only nutters out tonight no muggles. TFTC

We have a plan for our 500th find tomorrow night so I had to find two caches today to be ready for it. My husband needed a lift home from a meeting at Sandown Hotel so I left home early to find a couple of caches on the way. This one was an easy stop on along my route. I think the heat was keeping most mothers with children away, which should have made life easier for me. I knew what a playground hide should look like and I knew where a playground hide would be.……but do you think I could find it? I started right at GZ but due to my angle I couldn't see the cache. So I methodically made my way around, checking all the likely spots. Changed my mind about where it could be, just in case the CO was being a tricky dicky. Then decided to go back to my original line of thinking and starting point, only this time I looked from a different angle and VOILA. How frustrating that it was right where I started. I breathed a big sigh of relief and signed the log. Coords were spot on. Cache in great condition. Thanks for this cache

Great find for the kids!!
Another find for team simzy+3

Killing time before Sunday trading. Great little hide in the park. Found the container exposed so returned it out of view. TFTC

Tftc, had a quick find today. Nice location

A very nice park and area to relax... no muggles today made it an easy find... TFTC

Found it

Third attempt here !!!!
Muggle city.
Lovely park. TFTC

Found it with Link100. This is my second find since tanking up this sport. I was lucky to have Link100 with me even though he hasn't done it for three years and is extremely rusty. We were both in disguise so as not to arouse the suspicions of the muggles that were watching.

Even though it was a sunny day the park was completely empty. That made life nice and easy and I was pleased when it turned out to be located in the first spot that I checked.
Thanks to yorsys for the cache.

After a DNF at a nearby cache I wlked to this one in the dark. Started raining just as I arrived at GZ which meant I had the structure to myself today. A quick lookover with the torch revealed the prize. Retreated to nearby shelter and made my mark. Very damp and windy walk back to the cache mobile. Gota love geocaching.
TFTC.

Steve & Steph, Steph and Steve came down this way to cache out the eastern fwy but it was raining so we just grabbed this cache )

Found with Steve on a rainy day!!

A quick detour on the way home from work. tftc

Found with our kids on a quiet Thursday evening, and brings us to 5 days running. TFTC I ride past it when i bike to work

Found

First of three finds in the area this evening.
Waited at the nearby table with Team Ruphace discussing all the other places the cache could have been placed, rather than on the play equipment.
Not long and the muggles moved on.
Found the cache easily thanks to accurate coordinates.
Visited some trackables.
Thanks yorsys.

Went for other cache in this park first as there was a group of people at gz. 10mins later it was clear for a quick find. This time frmen1 was lookout and I was the seeker. TFTC

Waited for another muggle family to go before the find. Tftc and the nice park

Once all the muggles left, Geokid found this one as I sat on top of it. Thanks

My work colleagues freaked when I said that I was going to find something in the park. Apparently this is a dodgy area. Not at 4pm though. Coast was clear. Tftc

On a quick hunt after a spot of shopping with Baluke. Nice little park TFTC

Don't like hides in playgrounds, and while appreciate the smilie, there is so many other places around so close. t

found on 27/06/2014 3:18 pm on way to filling 366 challenge.
Find #1588

Found with saza22 on a nice afternoon of caching

Found 9:45:00 AM, during a Saturday morning cache run.

TNLN, thanks yorsys.

Quick find in the dark

Took the afternoon off work to catch up with Quasar3671 for a bit fo a caching run through the northern suburbs. This one was pretty much our meeting spot before heading north. Nice quick easy find for me at this one, first place I looked. Thanks vorsys.

I headed out nice and early this morning I found early is good for caching,

the park was deserted, which made it easy for a quick grab,

thanks yorsys [:x]

A quick find while on the bike to collect a few along the Eastlink trail.

Had a quick poke around the play equipment. Will have another go later.

Awesome hide, my mate found it while the kids played

Nice find

second find for the day no muggles in park so a quick find thanks

I had been to a funeral at a nearby establishment and decided to find a couple of caches afterwards to cheer myself up. This was the second of the two.

I had found the nearby wetlands cache and continued along the track to this one. There were a couple of muggles sitting at the nearby picnic tables but when I took a seat on the playground equipment for some unknown reason they moved on [^] - maybe I looked suspicious or they didn't want me to hear their conversation. The co-ords were spot-on so I found the nicely camo'd cache in the first place I searched. I signed the log at 3:50 pm and then returned the cache to its hiding spot. TNLN.

Thanks yorsys for the bold hide in what would normally be a high muggle location and for the very pleasant walk around these beautiful wetlands.

We found this cache today at 1:40pm as number 1 of 16 on our down and back tour. Found in first place checked which we always love. We can see one of our own caches from here. Thanks from D, HA & A B-A.

Found it,in a great park,pity this hide was,nt in another part of the area,as in the middle of playground not my favourite place to hunt for caches..

Found today while out and about with the Geodog. We had to wait a few minutes for a mum and her kid to move on so we just wandered around a bit and then we swooped in to make the find. Luckily it was in the first place I looked. Signed log. Thanks for the cache yorsys.

Father and Son - 15 caches - A game of Basketball

On a morning Katy had her car booked in for a service and an haircut appointment, Campbell and Trent decided to head out grab some caches as well as have a game of basketball somewhere on the way. We started heading in the Direction of Parkmore shopping centre, and a loop back towards Endeavour Hills.

Heading across the highway we walked to this cache, Campbell trying out the facilities enabling him to look and then make the find. Log was signed and cache replaced.

Thanks for the cache yorsys!!!

On a ride to check my cache in the area
So I rode down to this cache
kids were play in the play ground so I when to the wetlands to watch the birds.
After the kids left it was cache time
Thanx for the cache oakpark

Took us a little longer than normal to find this one as there were plenty of muggles around. But geo-kidlet and I searched with a play at the same time.
Geo-kid found it first.
Tftc

Chasing placed-date caches today to complete my calendar, this cache was too close to ignore so I walked around the duck ponds to find it, discovering it was not where I first had expected it (probably a good thing...) and instead was in that most-dreaded of locations for a solo bloke - the playground... However, after waiting for a few muggles to move along I was soon able to have the place to myself for a quick search and soon had the cache in hand and logbook filled in. TFTC

Not Found at 15:56
I walked over the crossing to do a layup of this wetland and was hoping to pick up the two caches. There were some families using the playground so without any kids with me, I couldn't even think about looking for this one.
I did enjoy a look around the wetland though. Maybe next time.

Took a short detour after stopping at the big green shed for cache repair supplies. Since it was getting dark and starting to rain, didn't spend too much time with the scenery. On the way to GZ saw some interesting possible cache hides so was a little disappointed to find an eclipse in a childrens playground. Luckily the park was empty and I was able to search without issue because I found the cache a few meters from where my GPS pointed me in the fourth place I checked. TFTC.

I think that this cache has been muggled. We searched everywhere around GZ, but couldn't find the container. Sadly, we found the 'Congratulations, you've found it' paper about 15 m from GZ.

Day 23 of 31, found after work parking in the service lane I had intended to do both in this park however with the rain setting in I decided that this one would suffice for today A quick and easy find perfect for a day like today. TFTC

Found this one today. It ended up being the only cache that I found today though I attempted a few today. This one was in the expected place but it took a bit of looking to actually get my hands on this cache. I was thankful for the rain/drizzle keeping the muggles away. Signed log.

Thanks for the cache vorsys.

No muggles at the park today so an easy find fro my geokids.
TFTC TNLN SL

Quick find on the way to eastlink trail. TFTC!!

Last time I stopped here there were mini muggles everywhere, but not today which made searching much easier. Only took a few minutes to locate, sign and rehide. TFTC. Kems

Day 13 of 31

Definitely not a high muggle area this morning... arriving here just before 8am, just a slight detour from my Pakenham to Scoresby Work Trek, but as I grew up nearby, I knew that this might be the best time to attack this one!!

The GPS lead me right to GZ and I was then very glad that it was this early on a work day, as I would hate to be hunting this one on a lovely sunny weekend!! there would be little hope!!!

Looked in the wrong spot first, then moved across just a little and had the cache in my hand immediately!! Needed a little strength to retrieve!! *Hadn't had my coffee yet!!*

First for the day and to early for anyone to be hanging around the park.
Thanks yorsys for the cache,

Quick find on the one a day August hunt thing. Cache Log Dry TFTC SL

Quick find on the one a day August hunt. Cache Log Dry TFTC SL

After dropping son off at work I made a beeline here for my days find.
What should have been a very easy find was made difficult by dumb eyesight and even dumber brainwork.
Believe it or not, after 20 minutes I had to phone the previous finder as I was sure it had gone missing.
No it hadn't and there it was,where I'd looked over and over again and even had my hands on it.
Maybe I should go back to bed!
Thanks yorsys for the caching adventure

Found @ 4:00pm, Find # 2386.
A close one after work to fill in the August challange on this day of not so nice weather.
At least it keeps the kids away from the playground.
Thanks to yorsys for placing this cache.

Lunch run with spiffy- and had a little search but luckily found it before the heavy rain came. TFTC

Out on a lunch run. Coordinates are now spot on according to my iPhone 5 it was indicating 1.3m away while at GZ. Luckily no children playing so found it just before than rain started.

#1360 @ 11:25am.

A magnetised eclipse mint tin in a playground - that's original! There's so much potential for a creative hide in this most excellent park, but thanks for the smiley anyway.

Find #1081. Found @ 22:35.
I needed a cache for today's square on my rapidly dwindling p366 calendar list of unfilled days. I was in the area a week or so back at a nearby play centre for a kid birthday but was unable to escape. I made a mental note to return.
A reasonably quick find while checking the standard placements for these structures.
Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables.
Thanks for the cache yorsys.

Coordinates changed from:
S 37° 57.905 E 145° 11.606

Coordinates changed to:
S 37° 57.901 E 145° 11.604

Distance from original: 25.9 feet or 7.9 meters.

BernieH was having issues with the co-ordinates on his Iphone. Together we checked using Google maps and OSM on several applications and devices and got different location markers. BernieH has used his Garmin to do a new average. I have done another on my HTC Velocity and again we got some different readings.

I have changed the co-ordinates to the Garmin average. I would be interested to know how future Cachers go with these new co-ordinates.

See earlier entry for details of change.

Couple of quick caches on my way home from work to maintain my Project 366 (6 days to go).
Quick find in a quiet playground (lucky I think).
