The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.

I am temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time please be sure to post a note (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require.

For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

Another super cache in a morning of doing the cages in this series. What fun to get another smiley. I felt sure we were looking for something quite different!! Found by Papillon367 who had great eyes today!!!
 
06-Apr-16
Great hiding spot! It took acachea and I a few minutes to find this cache as we tried all sorts of options around GZ... Luckily the park was empty so we could search uninterrupted. Will need to come back with my little girl to try out the flying fox! Thank you for the cache robroy_co.

I missed this one on a previous visit 6 months ago. In the area this afternoon and made a quick find of the replacement cache whilst the geokids played on the flying Fox nearby. Tftc Smile

Cool cache. Best playground.

After a recent muggling of this cache a new disguise was needed.
Slightly new location but same hunting required.

22-Nov-14
Was looking in the wrong spot at first but then there was one spot left to look and I found it.TFTC

Had to pick up some stuff from just south of here so after collecting it I went caching around the area to pick up some of the ones I hadn't done.

Cache was well disguised here but there was only one obvious spot so it didn't take all that long to find.

Thanks robroy_co for the cache.
 
12-Oct-14
Thanks robroy, kids didn't stop all day on the play equipment. They had a great time.

This suburban playground keeps getting more popular, slowly our cache is moving to the outskirts.
We have replaced the container and moved it to another location further from the muggles, so hopefully it will last longer this time.

This was the first ever geocache we tried to find, it was really tricky.... Eventually we decided to have one more look before giving up, then found it taking care not to attract the attention of muggles. It was lots of fun. Smile
 
19-Aug-14
I parked here earlier in the night, but there were youths in the park, so I drove off to find the others in the area, and returned later on. This time the coast was clear, and I was able to make a quick find as the cache was upside-down.

I returned it the correct way up, and a little more tucked away. Thanks for the cache robroy_co

After a previous DNF on this one (most likely due to muggling), this was an easy find in its new location.

Cache Condition: Excellent. New log, dry and secure. Good camo.

Thanks for the cache robroy.co, and thanks for doing the maintenance on this in good time. Cheers.

We have been past to check this cache today and due to muggle activity we have shifted again.
We have kept this cache in the same area.
Enjoy the flying fox!!!!!

Looks like there may be a problem here, could the CO please check it out.

Add me to the list of DNFs for this cache since its move. GZ had me on top of the embankment by the lone banksia tree. Based on the hint I was looking for a fake rock or magnetic key tin...but I may have been misled. Most of the caches in this series haven't given me too much grief, but given their proximity to muggle activity...

Look forward to finding this one another time maybe.
 
19-Jul-14
Third day in a row trying to find this one - no luck!
 
15-Jun-14
Too many muggles to do too much seaching. Great spot though.
 
09-Jun-14
Out today on my day off picking up a few caches in the area, it is a beautiful day with some cloud cover but no rain..DNF for me , I spent 20 minutes looking high and low with no luck...TFTH
 
04-Jun-14
Didn't even get off the geobike as the place was over-run by kids, again not one of my favorite locations - too close to the playground

I found this one to be very well hidden. I walked by early this morning and had a quick look but felt that I needed to move on quickly due to the construction muggles across the road being at the front of the house. After finding a few other caches nearby, I felt inspired to return for a second try. This time, the scene was muggle free and after searching in a slightly different area, I found the cache rather quickly. I had a quick go on the flying fox, because I just had to. TFTC robroy co

Visiting family for the weekend and fitted in some caching. Once I found my way into the area it was an easy find. Well hidden. TFTH
 
29-Mar-14
Found some rubber toys.
easy one to find
 
29-Mar-14
Nice find for GeoT! Kids loved this one! TFTC!
 
29-Mar-14
I rode to GZ from the CBD so it was a long hike along a busy Alexander Drive. As such, despite a couple and their son enjoying the nearby flying fox, I was determined to get my smiley here. Eventually I managed to locate the cache and position myself to log the find. The family departed and I was able to return the cache in peace before having a little turn on the equipment myself. Razz Thanks for another hide robroy co.

Easy one

Woohoo *FTF* @ 7:00pm!

Had just got home when these were all released, so got changed and piled the geokiddies into the car and set off the 4km or so from home. Arrived just on dusk, kids headed for the playground and I went for the GZ. This one was pretty quick to track down.

LOVE the park! Spent a while on the flying fox with the kids. Will definitely be back very soon during daylight for some more fun ... WOW! TFTC, giving it a fav point.
