Hi geordiefamily,

This cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to discourage people from visiting this location until the issues/s with this cache can be addressed as well as to remove it from search listings.

**Please note that caches disabled during the current COVID19 crisis you will be given some extra time to react as we recognise that CO's can't just pop out and fix the issue,** Caches where the cache owner does not currently feel safe to maintain will not be archived.

Should you feel it safe for you to maintain and address this cache now, AND your regional Health and Governmental authorities allow it, please feel free to do so. Alternatively, what you need to do is place a Write Note log indicating a date when you you expect you might be able to attend to the issue/s.

**When I next check on the cache, if there is no acknowledgment from the CO as request above, the cache will most likely be de-listed (Archived).**

Found by Mary & David at 1506. D collected M after here pampering appointment, and we came here for our next stop. Walked in to GZ from Eagleview Cres. Had to wait for a dog walking muggle to depart before searching in earnest. Happily, spotted the container after a brief search. Our thanks to geordiefamily.

Once again, no muggles so a quick find today. Thanks geordiefamily.

I was in the area visiting some friends and decided to see what caches were around. I saw this cache and, despite some concerns about the idea of a nano in a tree (a nano is bad enough, let alone in a tree) but decided to go for it anyway (it is always nice to know where some good parks are). I drove into the park (taking note of the muggle birthday party that was happening) before heading down to GZ. A surprisingly quick and easy find. Retrieval was slightly harder but I took a strategy of knocking it onto the ground and then picking it up which worked well to avoid the branches (although I still manage to get sticks in my hair). I signed the log before walking back up the hill to admire the amazing view.

Sòooooooo tiny!
 
03-Dec-16
Attending the event and cleaning up some caches in the area with Happy pants, omegaman1971 and Yoshi Warriors. Signed logs as DRAG Team. We found ourselves on the wrong side of the fence, so Happy pants did the climbing act needed to make this quick retrieval.
Thanks geordiefamily for placing & maintaining the cache for us to find.

In Geelong for the Christmas Events and some caching with Happy pants, Happy Feet 1 & Omegaman1971. We signed logs as DRAG Team.
This was my 2000th find!!
After making a wrong move and parking the wrong side of the fence, Happy pants did the honours of scaling it and retrieving the cache for us. TFTC geordiefamily.

**Big Grin Smile # *3828* / Traditional # *2958* Big Grin**

I was able to grab this one while the rain had stopped. The grass was wet on the walk over to where I needed to be and after looking from outside, I notcied something then got a wet back from the rain that had formed around the cache hide, I was wet but i picked up another smile Smile Signed and replaced as found.

**Thanks for this trad cache, geordie family** [^]

A petite find late at night, with close to minimum neighbours peering out their windows (minimum being zero, and the actual number being more than zero). Methinks I need to revisit this park in daylight. Thanks heaps, Geordiefamily!

We had today all planned out... until I realised that it was Open Day for the GeoBallerinas and that GeoHubby and I would be required at the ballet school for two hours. A quick reshuffle of plans meant that I missed out on today's event in Eastern Gardens Sad

After watching ballet (they did well, btw!) and running errands I decided I still deserved the opportunity of getting a smilie on the map, so we headed up here. Neither GeoHubby or I had been up this way before, despite living in Geelong pretty much forever. That's something I really enjoy about geocaching - it really does take you to unknown places in what feels like familiar territory!

After finding the cache up the hill we wandered down to find this one. There was a lady walking four large dogs across the grass, but she had her hands full with them and didn't pay any attention to us. The youngest GeoKid was keen to do all the work with this one, except for handing it to me to sign the log.

TFTC!

After bumping into friends we done this one with them, a nice easy group effort, a great one to show them the ropes Smile TFTC

The last time we tried for this cache we had no luck.
Looking for a cache for the day we seen this one was back up and running, now was our chance to add our name to the log.
We had the park to ourselves and began the search, and believe it or not we almost put our hand on it straight away..
Thanks geordiefamily for the cache.
 
02-Dec-15
Great little hide! I had no idea the park actually went back that far.

Found it!! Had noted this disabled cache, but then saw it was back in action again, so went to check it out. Maybe I'm getting better at tree hides after doing so many, but this one didn't take very long at all. ☺ Now, if only I could find a certain "Hidden" cache up the road, I'd be happy. Thx for fixing this cache.

This place seemed intriguingly familiar, then I remembered the cache at the other end of the park. Muggles out last time ... and today! Sad This one though was speedily retrieved. Nice design. TNLN, SL, TFTC!

Found on another caching adventure with Trailrunning, The long weekend meant more time for caching so we headed to Geelong for most of the finds,. Thanks geordiefamily for the cache.

 
08-Jun-15
Another public holiday on a Monday can only mean one thing, a day of caching with Rebel Acts. We have so many puzzles solved for the Geelong area that we thought a trip that way would be in order. The overcast day meant that the GPS's were playing up a little, pointing us here then there. Very difficult when we were searching for so many micro caches shoved in bushes. A few outstanding caches were found. Thanks for the fun.
 
08-May-15
In Geelong today to get a few more smilies towards our next milestones with bogonghazy and Tess. Persistence certainly paid off here. We didn't think it was there at first but a second look revealed the well disguised camo. Giving it a fave just to watch BH testing his nerve on the retrieval. Thanks geordiefamily
 
08-May-15
With a Friday off before having to work the weekend, Sorceysal, Tess the geodog and I took the opportunity to head down to Geelong to cross off just a few of the multitude of caches placed here since my last visit.
This needed the torch app on the phone to spot it, and even then we weren't 100% sure. But a couple of items found near GZ helped with the gentle surgical extraction, and there it was. Think the difficulty rating could go up, a bit, please. Smile
Thanks geordiefamily, nice spot too
 
28-Apr-15
Failed on an earlier visit, despite establishing where it was I couldn't extract it. This time I just happened to bring the perfect tool, and in no time at all it was in hand. TFTC
 
01-Apr-15
We liked this hide a lot. We promised before Christmas that we would come back to this park, having forgotten the iPhone on our first visit (D'oh!?) and being able to grab one of the caches in this park from memory, but not the other one- this one. We had tried to do this cache last time from memory of reading the notes, but we were actually barking up the wrong tree, literally (!), and would never have found it.
This time however, we had the phone and had the geotool (only just able to do the job). Accurate co-ords and a helpful hint had us locked in pretty quickly, but there was a still a bit of a good Geordie twist of a bit of a more obvious red herring location to check, and a bit of extracting skill required. We liked the construction of the cache too. Log signed and returned carefully, as found. A favourite from us for an above average clever hide and rewarding if fairly quick find that tested some geoskills other than just eye-sight. Thanks Geordie Family.
 
31-Mar-15
A very clever hide. Dad had found this one while waiting for mum to bring the caching bag (with tools) so it could be extracted. After various kids needing toilet stops and the littlest walking straight into a fence and banging his head, dad became impatient and fashioned a tool from materials on hand. The log was signed and ready to return before the rest of us were even half way across the park. TFTC!
 
19-Mar-15
god that was hard to get out. great camo Smile was looking for something metal or tin so it took me a while to figure out that was the geo!
 
24-Feb-15
Walked directly to GZ, nice park, but then came the challenge that I was unable to overcome. The cache is well and truly embedded, and I couldn't figure out any way to extract it from its deep hole. Definitely needs a suitable extraction tool, and I couldn't figure out what that might be.
 
20-Feb-15
We had to revisit this one as we could not extract it on our first visit. Now we came armed with various extraction tools and..........success !!! A great little cache. Thanks for this one.
