Thanks for the hunt anyway geordiefamily.

No luck with this one. I do wonder if it is missing as I searched for quite a while.
Nice little hide, didn't take long for geo fiancée to find. Log signed and replaced Tftc
Found tonight with BeardedHill and perricheeseburger - great petite hide! Signed as SPB. TFTC
A meeting for work in G town today had me leave a little early to nab a quick cache or two! Lots of dog walkers around so I had to skip the other cache here but this was a quick find. Many thanks for the cache
A bit of night time caching while the girls are dancing. Wanting do this one for awhile. Thx
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.
A petite hide indeed.
Have been to a few wedding receptions/ engagement parties here in years gone by. Nice park.

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.

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.

Cool. Nice easy find on a sunny winters afternoon. Cute container. With Sivle35.
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!

Visiting relatives in Geelong and found this one quite close by. Tftc! Using smallness of geokid #1, cache was soon in hand.
Thanks georgiefamoly and congratulations on your second cache placent.
The co ords were good and it was a nice easy find. TFTC

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
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!

An easy find. Cue nano rant: "Bloody Nanos! Spawn of satan. Burn down the Nano factory, and exterminate anyone who sells Nanos." TFTC. 11/03/2016, 13:40 Find #1598
After bumping into friends we done this one with them, a nice easy group effort, a great one to show them the ropes TFTC
As soon as we found the right tree geo mum found the cache it was a pretty easy find.

Fantastic weather and company all day.
We enjoyed this cache for the clever hide.

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.

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.
Unfortunately my hiding spot appears to be MIA. disabling until I find a new spot.
Found with Outrangerous. Clever hide, had the cache in hand without realising it. Couldn't sign log as did not have a suitable tool. TFTC
nice quick find in a quiet spot. couldn't get the log out without wrecking it, so i'll just pretend i signed it.
Quick and easy find
Thanks for bringing me to this area!
In my own backyard and yet I never knew this park existed
May have to retur as Geopup had a ball

This place seemed intriguingly familiar, then I remembered the cache at the other end of the park. Muggles out last time ... and today! 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.
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.
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
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.
Thanks geordiefamily, nice spot too

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
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.

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!
god that was hard to get out. great camo was looking for something metal or tin so it took me a while to figure out that was the geo!
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.
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.
Good hide in a nice park. Geodog enjoyed the back paddocks. Tricky extraction but managed ok. TFTC.
Found with bkj97 who was very creative in designing an extracting implement. T4TCSL
