Tried to find this one but someone was out walking their dogs. Will try again later!
We were a bit confused by the coordinates but after reading the clue I had a good idea what I was looking for. Nice little hide
A little tricky but some of the comments helped! Found with velbrad and the boys 
The courts could do with a working bee.
Out caching with d@geo
Thank you for the hide Happy1956

Out caching the area with gwd.aussie. Our aim was to finish off a few more caches in the area concentrating on a couple of specific caches that fulfilled a challenge cache. Our previous find "Charlie's Circuit - On Target" fulfilled the challenge however we still after a quick search added this cache to our smiley faces for the day.
Thanks Happy1956
Thanks Happy1956
Made the find here quite easily, but the log was saturated and upon stamping it, watched as the ink ran off the log sheet. We signed with a pen, but not sure how good it will be. Some maintenance here please.
Thanks for the placement Happy1956.
Thanks for the placement Happy1956.
A nice quick find. The log is no longer damp, in fact it is as dry as a bone. Thanks for the cache
Not sure what the hint was in reference too, GPS was hellbent pointing in the direction of the tree but when we got there it got all confused. None the less, found it in the end. TFTC
Another nice quick find, thanks for the hide and showing us this sporting complex.
Nice easy find, but log paper is wet so was unable to write my name. Cache needs attention
wow. the tree attacked me.. well the cute little birds in the hollow did.. lol... cute ... its not in the tree then. found it quickly after birds shooed me away lol.. log too wet to sign.. so attached a selfie
Found pretty quickly with Huggies, cache needs to be checked, log was bit wet. Cool spot
A quick find with frmen1. We had to fill in a bit of time before we needed to be at Fed Uni. The log was wet but able to write on it. TFTC
Finally found a cache in Churchill that the co-ordinates were spot on and we did not have to spend 15 minutes looking for the cache. Liked this one. Thanks. Silkyie
Number 2 for our day of caching. There was no activity and no muggles and we were able to find this one reasonably quickly. TFTC
#1317 This turned out to be a difficult days caching in the Churchill area collecting a total of 25 hard earned finds along the way. Some were tough nasty hides and in the end we conceded 5 dnfs! No racket or racquets here today but we did have to wait for a dog walking muggle to clear the area before searching for the cache - thanks again Happy1956.
Found, although as mentioned last time it was found, the log was very wet. and full. we managed to sign it.
This courts would of been great back in the day with all that seating to watch

Last day of holidays so we thought we'd squeeze in a few caches before school returned. Very wet under foot but a quick find. Log very wet, but managed to sign it anyway. TFTC!
Something tells me these facilities have not been used for a while! Good accuracy with the coords, made a quick find, number 7 of 8 today with kyabbott. TFTC
A damp log but Kato Potato and I still managed to squeeze our names on there. TFTC, I feel so sorry for these poor, unloved courts being looked down upon by their neighbours.
After my attendance at my first OzMega in SA decided it was a perfect sunny day to find some more caches in my home town. What a sad sad sight - glad my late father - a former State tennis champion - never got to see these. Logged from my Garmin GPS phone. SL.TNLN.TFTC.
Having trouble with my phone app today and not able to continue without the maps. Found this one ok, will return for missed ones another day. Thanks for the cache Happy1956
A phone call from Slink1 asking ‘what’s on for the weekend?’ found us down in Morwell for other reasons and it was a case of well we’re here now and so the hunt began Many thanks to Happy1956 for the time and effort of looking after this cache. TNLN SL
Off on a weekend sweep in the Morwell area with many good caches found many thanks to Happy1956 for the effort and placement of this cache TNLN SL
The coordinates were a fair way out but eventually ended up with the cache in my hand. Tftc
We drove to Churchill to pick up a few of the caches that have popped up since we were last down this way. We had a great couple of hours picking up a variety of different hides. A pity these courts are slowly breaking down. Makes you wonder why you would build so many more up above and let these be wrecked. Anywho, we found the cache pretty quickly, and decided to wander off for a drink. Thanks for the cache!
