went to find this one a month ago and was at the spot but was being watched by a muggle on another seat overlooking GZ. I waited.... and waited....... and waited some more, also sent telepathic "go away!" messages to the annoying muggle but it still wouldn't move. Grrrr! Not having the power to vaporize muggles with a stare i went back to the car and waited a bit longer. I went round the block slowly and he was still there so i decided to leave it until i came back for another appointment this month. Had time to spare before my appointment and thought i'd snaffle this one on the way but when i arrived at the park it was [:0] !!!!!!!! The whole park had been razed and denuded of vegetation and woodchipped! My doctor said she wasn't surprised as they were always doing something in that park.
Think CO may need to have a look to see if faint possibility it is still there but highly unlikely.

We just dropped geodad off at a party and had time to enjoy before heading to dinner.. What else to do but cache on this lovely afternoon! Needed to phone a friend for this one as the hint took us to lots of trees, but no cache! Luckily we found it before we got a reply which is always a good feeling! Signed the log book in the tin, then kids had a play in the sand and a quick game of basketball before heading off! TFTC 
I went back to this cache and removed the eclipse tin I had replaced there. Found the Proper new container signed the log and placed Benders log sheet in new cache. Sorry for all, the confusion. I also put that old rusty tin that had the old log in it with the new cache.
Went to the Movies at Hawthorne, and thought what a great opportunity for a quick find. After the movie I went for stroll along the pathway and headed for GZ. I Looked for possible hiding spots for 15 minutes,and was about to give up went we thought to check cache log, read the info and searched again leading us to a find. TFTC !!!
!!!Hi Sambuccasam, not sure what you mean referring to a tin. It is a plastic container, that I recently placed in a snap lock bag Easy enough to open
I found the old one the tin. This is confusing for a newbie after reading the logs and seeing the photo. The tin was really rusted and I had to pry it open with pocket knife. Stupid me I put evrything in a new camouflaged eclipse tin and place both old and new back in hidey hole. So now I will confuse everyone after me. So now that's 2 caches I have to revisit and fix the errors of my ways for being a miss maintainence do gooder. Sitting duck 2 is the other one.
Stopped for a hunt on our way to dinner with rellies who live nearby. Searching by torchlight added to the fun. Left a white star. TFTC.
Just replaced the cache with a new log book and everything is in a snap lock bag within the container to try to prevent water damage. Have fun!
Found it but didn t write name on the logbook as completely wet. Nice park!
Easy. Tall people need to bend lower! Cache is wet. Could not sign log. TFTC TNLN
WillPunkey made the grab While I was signing the log 3 people wandered past on their mobile phones, I think they had no idea what we we doing
We found this catch on a evening walk with our friend shani. With our torches on our i-phone had a lot of good fun:)
A treacherous hike through the morning side AFL fields led us to a steep incline which was too much for some of our younger a members. It is in the bushes.
Found a container in a tree at GZ, waiting on confirmation from CO as lid was stuck in place. Tftc
Enjoying the lovely weather while on our short visit to BrisBane ... Found after a short search .... T4TC:)
Wow first geocache!!! Amazing experience. Found straight away forgot my pen so was devastated (so defs remember that)!!!Definitely going to keep it up!
forgot my pen so was devastated (so defs remember that)!!!Definitely going to keep it up!I was about to admit defeat and sat on a nearby wooden beam to read through the logs. Thought I'd just look under the plants whilst I was there and voila! I guess this one has suffered cache creep as it's not near the clue. TFTC!

No Muggles today like when I came on the week end and had to call it quits. A lady was sitting a little way away busily chatting on her phone and I dot think she even saw me. Quickly signed the log and replaced it. Now it is smiling at me. TFTC
Hidden away and well camouflaged. A bit tricky to see if you walked past too quickly. Lots of muggles out jogging so kids had to go into stealth mode. "Oops, I accidentally threw our ball into the bushes. Let's go find it!" TFTC.
No luck after an extensive search. Hoping it wasn't muggled after the find only yesterday...
What a nice big park. Haven't been here before. After a bit of a search cache was found.
It was tim again for the cache for the day and with LHE Duo along for a little walk around the park, this was the choice for the last day of the year, to help with the souvenir and to finish off the year.
So we parked on a side street and found the way through between the houses and followed the path along. I followed the GPS off one way, while Mr LHE duo went another, soon I realised I had headed the wrong way and that Mr LHE Duo had already grabbed the cache. Got the log signed and a little walk around the park before heading for work.

It was then off for a further walk around the track before heading back to the car. What a nice place for walking. TFTC

This was a nice, quick find for Genyo and myself before heading to a Boxing Day dinner. TFTC!
Checked for any close geocaches after seeing Hotel Transylvania 2 (great family movie) & this one popped up. It's been a rainy day so the park was muggle free. Found by geodaughter (the clue doesn't apply to where we found it but we left it where it was). TFTC
My car is away getting fixed, so I was on the bike to get to work this morning. I also had a late start, so I decided to look for some of the newer caches along the way.
I have done a few caches in this park over the years. It can be quite tricky hunting here, the place is always busy.
This morning was no exception, but the passing muggles were reasonably far away and there were big enough gaps between to get the job done unseen.
I managed to go straight to GZ for this one, so it was nice quick find.

Found by Sunshine Toledo and Jinga2 at 10:05am. Unfortunately the log is at GZ without a container so it needs maintenance quickly before it gets ruined by the weather. TFTC
Find #1718 at 20:42 after an evening out climbing with the ScattsMadhouse crew.
Well, I suppose it counts as a find. I did find the logbook, naked and damp, with no container or anything else to be seen. Much as the previous finders have.
Thanks for the cache, melissabraund.

This one will need the whole kit renewed: container, stash note, and the logsheet.
Given that there have been earlier muggling incidents in such a short period of time, perhaps a change of container type & camouflage, possibly also location might be good.

After enjoying a movie with the junior we came across the park to get this one. A glorious full moon was shining in the darkness - I loooooove the light a bright full moon can shine. It makes the night special. [^]
The smartiephone compass put us between trees in an empty spot. Well, the only option is to go through the area step by step. I took a stick and started poking behind trees, through leaves on ground by tree roots, under the scrubs, but nothing came up. There was no sound of a container. However, a particular spot would have been really good for a quick and simple hide so went back to that with a flashlight.
Oh, oh! Seems the cache has been muggled.
There were only a few sheets left of a notebook and that's it. Signed the only sheet that had anything on it and folded them back in the hide. Pity I didn't have my caching bag on me for repairs. A NM log to follow for the container.
This certainly is a nice place in daylight. Thanks for bringing us here and TFTC!

Log book just laying exposed not in a container. Put it back in the tree but this won't last long if it rains.
