Could be that the difficulty setting is not right for the cache or perhaps the muggles got this one.

This one keeps getting muggled. Time for it to go.

Suscoe and the sister couldn't find this one either today.
Brought the ladder to check out as much as we could but no luck!
Don't know what we did wrong at all!!!!!

Can't see it here.

DNF muggers must have take it!

Found this one with crig. TFTC

Muggles in the playground made things a bit difficult. It's handy that la mina was curious about climbing a tree, and inquisitive about the fire training track, meaning we had the excuse of some exploration of the area. Fairly quick find, but took a bit to extract the log. Jammed right up the end. Tftc

With the weather finally getting a bit nicer we thought a trip to Creswick was in order.
We packed a picnic lunch and enjoyed a day heading around picking up caches.
Had our lunch here and grabbed the cache while walking with Maeve!

Found with Mum, Dad and Maeve.
We had a fun trip around Creswick finding some awesome spots.
Thanks for placing this cache for us to find!

Found with Mum, Dad and Eddie.
My first trip to Creswick.
What a lovely day for it too!
Thanks for the caches.

Walk in the park

Seventh find on a beautiful day out with geobuddy BJ. Was great to spot this one after two DNFs on a row Managed to grab it and sign the log despite muggles in the playground by admiring that amazing tree. TNLN. TFTC.

Enjoying our day in good old Credwick
Easy find
Signed and replaced

Great hide. TFTC CACHE STILL IN GOOD CONDITION.

Great hide! Nice little area but lots of muggles and houses opposite - need to be in stealth mode for this one. TFTC

Yes, got another one.

Found today. Finally! Happy to get this one after a few attempts.

Found with Winniethebear. Good location. TFTC.

Legoman9x found it. Tftc

Needed a little to stealth to retrieve this one. Took a whole lot more to put it back. Nice spot for a picnic lunch. Tftc.

Just glad it wasnt where I would have hidden it! Thanks

Quick cache on the way home from a doof thanks (found with stooy)

Out exploring Creswick this morning with the geokids (aged 3 & 5). Great one to hunt for with kids because if they've had enough they can just play on the playground. Thanks

All was quiet at the playground when I arrived thankfully. A quick search soon had the hide although the paint is coming off. An application of Easy Surface Prep, available from hardware stores, should fix that.

2nd visit here, a month ago we found but could not retrieve due to nearby muggles. All clear today, so wrote in log & left our usual, a mini compass, because it fitted. Feel free to take. Thanks for the cache.

Tried to be discreet, There were a few muggle kids on the play equipment.

Tottaly parked in the wrong spot for this one- stupid fences are high when you're short.

A quick dash and find in the rain.

What a delightful spot, I loved the lake fountain. Found with Muggle Hubby's assistance

Quick find here for Sully1 and I on our way home from Castlemaine.
Thanks for highlighting this beaut lake Wakkatoo, nice spot

The last time Bogonghazy tried for this one, it was temporarily disabled. Today we were on the way home from a long weekend caching around Castlemaine, and seeing as it was up and enabled again, it seemed like a good opportunity. We have found other caches close by to here in the past, and it was nice to return again. Many thanks to wakkatoo for the cache.

Found by Mary & David, in convoy with Team Crackers, at 1330. We are on our way to Ballarat, but first a stop at the bakery if it's still open. We always enjoy a visit to Creswick. Found the cache after eliminating another spot first. Our thanks to Wakkatoo.

Heading from Bendigo to the CITO in Ballarat in the company of maccamob we were grabbing a few caches along the way.
We can see why the youngest member of your team would like to have a cache here, we bet they enjoy coming along when you have o do maintenance.
The cache itself was found in the second place we looked and our names have been added to the log.
We had just returned the container when a car pulled up and the nearby play ground was soon being used so it was quite fortunate timing for us.
Thanks Wakkatoo for the cache.

Spotted it but due to nearby Muggles, could not retrieve to write in log.

Nice quick find

well with 3 DNF's in quick succession, this one was due for a visit. That was until bobbymac1 posted their find. Nice to know its still ok, just couldn't be found. Will check it out when there are less muggles about, just to make sure.

I did not find it. I think it may have been muggled!

So sad

Will try another day

Nice spot for a break, and for a well placed cache,

Lovely day for a play in the park. Easy find after muggles left.

Good one

Clever hide. Found with The Tritonz

Found on the 11/2/14 with Wozzle68
TFTC
Nice play park

Thanks for the cache. Nice one on a hot day.

Been here once before, seem to be hoards of muggle kids at the play ground, some were little sticky beaks, so decided to come back at a later date. Today was muggle free, and we had the cache in hand quickly. TFTH.

Out after school today with Tomstache and Motndarg, there were no muggles on this very hot day. Motndarg made the find quickly, we signed the log and replaced. Back to the air conditioned comfort of the car. Thanks Wakkatoo for the hide.

It was a beautiful day and the kids came out to play. Went to this spot twice and it was muggle city. However, on the third visit later after lunch we had success. Nice hide. TFTC Wakkatoo

Found with featherdown today. Just two people in the park but we were able to get this one undisturbed.
Great hiding place
Thanks

Feathertop and I found your cache late this morning before the park got too busy.
We both liked this hide
TFTC Wakkatoo

Out caching with Lumpyjrb on my birthday. This was a nice quick find today after not being able to get it last time due to muggles. A nice cache to start the day. TFTC.

Found on our Second attempt. last time we were here we got muggled but got here early today. Great hide. Enjoyed this one. Tftc

Beautiful sunny day and what better way to spend it, caching. Nice place, Had lunch here after finding cache. Thanks

Quick find after locating the site when it was offline for maintenance. thx wakkatoo for recommissioning this one. TFTC.

Now that the work at the playground appears to have finished, this cache is back up and running.

This should be up very soon. Been a lot of work happening in this area over the past few months so I've held off placing anything.
Now its a matter of placing the new cache, something that is proving tricky during daylight hours due to holidays and muggles

Is this one expected to be back up again anytime soon?

Grr! Muggled.

Will get this one back up asap.

Epic Fail [B)]

When we first arrived, there was a young couple on the swings, so we weren't able to give it much of a look. We returned an hour or so later and the park was ours. But despite that, and quite a lengthy search, we failed to find the cache. Hope it's still there.

The council were present, busy creating a cycle track between the road and the park and heavy rain began to fall. We did a bit of a search but came up empty handed.

Found today while we cleaned up the remaining caches in Creswick. Had to return for a 2nd time as we were muggled out on the first attempted. The lake is a great little spot for a walk around. Thanks Wakkatoo for the placement of this cache.

Found this one with the help of goddaughter, seems I had my hands on it and didn,t know it.

We found this hide today. Geodad and Geogranny looked in the most obvious spot and couldn't find it. Geomum had a proper look and bingo!!! It was there the whole time. Geokid enjoyed playing on the nearby swings. Thanks for the hide Wakkatoo.

Round and round as the GPS is confused somewhat by trees... but then,,,,upsa daisy and there we are!!

This cache has had to be moved due to the council cutting down the original hiding spot.

Cache has been re-hid after last hiding spot was removed by council

The council in their infinite wisdom have gone and cut down this cache's hiding spot. Will endeavour to re-hide this one soon.

six of six today. This one took a little bit of time. GPS was getting a bit low on batteries and the passing traffic made us take the cautious approach and search tactic. All worked in the end. TFTC the last of a great day out in and around Creswick.

Found today in the company of Dutch Frangipani on our way to Creswick for a days caching. The weather was freezing cold with light fog and mist all day. It was hard to feel my fingers and toes at times and was glad to keep moving so we could warm up.

This one took us a bit longer than we wanted as the gps seemed to have us wandering all over the place. Eventually found the little devil and off for a brisk walk around the lake to warm up.

Thanks for the cache Wakkatoo

Found with Sorceysal today while out for a day of caching in Creswick. While the sun was out when we left home the same could not be said for Creswick today. It was freezing and misty all day.
After a little bit of searching we had this one and took off for the next one. Thanks Wakkatoo.

found while out caching with Misschief18 for the day, this one took us a little while as the GPSs were leading us a merry dance with the overcast sky but evently we came up with the cache. A very clever hide.
TFTC

Found today with the 2 Wanderers in the drizzly rain. Walked past this a few times before it was spotted. A good hiding spot. TFTC

Whooohoo! Our first FTF. A clever little hide. TFTC.

Thought we'd get our first FTF but alas nooo. The rain, quickly getting dark & cache blindness.
