This cache is being archived due to cache going missing and also I feel the small Park and the fence of house next door is either missing or falling over. Best to set up away from here.
Will disable this cache until I am able to visit, to see what has happened to the cache and I f necessary replace cache, so it can be up and going again.
2:58:00 PM. A short search and I spied something out of place. Made the find and signed the log. Thanks Richmond Lad for the cache.
Stood and searched at the coordinates for about 40 minutes, couldn't find any sign of a cache.
It was chucking it down when I parked here, so I waited a few mins but with the weather conditions still inclement I made a dash for it. There was some shelter under trees and after looking in the wrong place for a while I decided to follow the GPS and made a discovery of a well hidden cache.
Thanks for the cache and also for the interesting story about your family history.

Disabling the Cache due to comments that the Cache is damaged. Will fix it up as soon as possible.
Would have taken a lot longer to find without a little hint, TFTC. Nice cache too 
T-Tech and I are down from Brisbane visiting extended family, and we had a few free hours today to round up my unfound caches between Pottsville and Kingscliffe 
This is a cute little park [^] A short wander brought us to GZ but there's a lot of hidey-holes here! We just had to be methodical and T-Tech came up with the find. TFTC, Richmond Lad.

I came down today to do some maintenance on my caches in the area and then decided to actually find a few of the newer caches too. I was wondering what sort of farming your Grandfather was involved in as the soil is very sandy here. After finding this cache I went back to Cabarita Beach for fish and chips from Stunned Mullet. I was eating them up on the headland and noticed that the name of the park was the same as here. Is this park also named after your family?? Thanks for the cache Richmond Lad.
Really good one. Extremely small. Did it with @samara.ii and @maliealand. This is our 8th one.
On a lovely little day trip down to the very northern coast of NSW from the too sunny Queensland there wasn't much relief as it was just as hot down here, lol. However, we had a cold drink and air con so can't complain. We visited this lovely little park named after the Johansen family, and are pleased to say we know a couple of the family. As for the cache, it was a nice quick find and all was in good order. TNLNSL. Thanks Richmond Lad for placing the cache here in such a nice spot named after your family. Cheers! [^]
Went out for a drive today over the Lions Road, Kyogle, Nimbin to the coast and back. On the way we tried to fit in some geocaches. The cache was quick and easy to find after reading the last log entry. TFTC
No luck today after 10 min search. GPS was pointing to near the fence at rear but nothing found.
Armed with a little more info from a previous finder I walked back and searched again.
The condition of GZ led me to think this was gone. After 10 min I spotted it attached to a more solid bit of structure.
Tftc glad to report it's still here!

Find No: 5173. Visiting from Newcastle, staying at Kingscliff, dropped Mrs Grub Fred off at Pottsville markets and headed out for a couple, thanks for the cache Richmond Lad!!
Heading south and made a little detour off of the highway to find this one. 
A quick find today for me.
Thanks for the cache.

Thanks for the cache.
We didn't find it on this attempt but we don't live too far away so we'll be back to try again
On holidays from brisvegas with finders 141. How nice is it to have a park named after you. Nice camouflage. Was nearly going to give up but happy I didn't. Tftc
My Mum mnance101, my brother mazza151 and myself decided to do this cache. TFTC!
Arghhh... we don't like DNF's, but we gave up on this one. Kids were all starving and we searched around and about and up and down and couldn't spot it. oh well, next time i suppose!
While on holidays at Pottsville, my daughter pinkypie05, my son mazza151 and myself decided to do a few caches. Took us a little while, as my phone was jumping back and forth, but eventually found the sneaky hide. TFTC!
Took us a while to find this little cache but we did it! Love the miniature list in it
Heading home from the coast and we took the scenic route, GPS was very jumpy but we spotted and signed and continued on our way. TFTC
Thought I knew most little parks in Pottsville but not this one. It was soon spotted and we could sign and be gone. TFTC
Having found Restful Lookout and Looking Down From Above, we thought we ought to find the third in the latest batch of Family Connection caches, and decided to come home from Murwillumbah via the Coast Road. What an amazing little park and we were impressed with the bush area behind it. We hope this is preserved.
Thank you for the cache and thank you for the series.
