I noticed that this cache has been temporarily disabled for a period of time well in excess of the period of "a few weeks" as contemplated by the cache guidelines published on Geocaching.com. While I feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for you and block other caches from entering the area around this cache for a reasonable amount of time, we can't do so forever. Please either repair/replace this cache, or archive it (using the *archive listing* link in the upper right) so that someone else can place a cache in the area, and geocachers can once again enjoy visiting this location.

For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date, if you do not then you cache may be archived without further note from a reviewer. Caches archived due to lack of maintenance are no longer unarchived and you will need to submit a replacement as a new cache.

This is one of those new playground and amenities which is impossible to park near. If you park in the side street you cross a little creek and an area that is being environmentally preserved. No doubt it looks good but is functionally not sensible.
The cache took a bit longer to find than it should but the tools required are close at hand, so to speak. The cache is full and I have scribble AB to record my visit.

I drove past this and then found myself back on the main road where I didn't know how to turn around, so I pulled off and jogged back to the cache. I was worried I wouldn't be able to reach this as I am not tall, but I was able to easily reach without a problem. The log needs replacement as it is very full. I squeezed in GW. TFTC Mozy1503.
Heading up to sydney for an interview for a new job (fingers crossed) and couldnt resist the urge to grab some caches along the way. Left a few hours early to ensure i had time to grab a small handful along the way.
Wow. Certainly need to ultilse the hint. Lucky im tall and have long arms haha. As already mentioned log book is full too. Thanks Mozy1503

We have just moved to the area and our kids love this park. You definately need to reach! TFTC.
Returning in the light of day, very pleased with our instincts on this one. Quick grab.
Found a few square millimetres to log our find.
tftc!

I hadn't grabbed a cache for a while, and since I was going through Cobbitty this evening I thought I might pick up A Song By Sherbet. Unfortunately it's been re-placed and re-muggled since I last came this way. But I haven't cached down this way yet, so this made a good alternative detour. It took me a few minutes, the hide seemed likely but darkness made it difficult to get the right angle on the problem. The log was full but I managed to squeeze a tiny signature on.
Great find not for the shorter geopeeps. 6ft geohubby had to be aided to reach. Geokidlets loved playground. New log needed
Had a great morning caching in Narellan/Camden and surrounds. Quit a few DNF, but I am getting used to that. Most caches were very well accesable and in good condition, thanks to all the owners for placing them!

#3509 (4 of 17 today)
I was preparing to go on a cache binge today, as recently I've been back to a quick scramble for a cache later in the day.
With the Geowife's blessing I was getting ready to go and noticed some publishing had occurred.
I spotted one new cache that fitted in with my day's plans, so decided to go for it, then continue on towards Camden, where I could make a lot of quick finds - I hoped.
In the end I got 17 finds and a few DNFs. And I managed to snag the First2Find on the new cache as well.
Top day!
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Parked nearby and... Hmmm, is the iPhone pointing where I think it's pointing?
Yep!
No one around in the early afternoon heat, and so I could have a proper look around and soon spotted something familiar.
Made the grab and completed signing duties. replaced and back to *The Hademobile*.

No one around today.Once at the right level it was easy to spot.Would not like to live around here as all the houses look the same.Makes me feel creepy. TFTC
Nice quick find, lucky the human ladder was with me. Interesting location for a park. Log is full, had to squeeze my name in between others. TFTC
Found after winning my soccer semi-final (since this is a late log I'll brag and mention we DID go on to win the grand final as the only team from our club to take the championship - a girls team too!!). TFTC
Just watched my granddaughter gab_star win her soccer semi-final and headed over to get this cache. Then we went to The Chocolate Room nearby to celebrate... but that's another story! TFTC.
Found after watching Gabstar score the winning goal against Oran Park to earn a grand final spot. Had to find a cache for the souvenir so this looked good before heading over to the chocolate room to celebrate! Log is completely full though. TFTC!
Heading home from a day out with WaywardWoman, she pulled in so I could look for this cache as she had previously found it. Wandered to GZ and spotted it. Signed log and returned. TFTC
#3736- I had just finished saying to bikerbuddy that I had no more unfound caches on the way home to the mountains, when he said he thought I did. Turns out he was right. Not sure when this one popped up, but I obviously haven't been out this way on a caching run for a while.
This was a nice easy find, especially being with bikerbuddy. Thanks

I spent the day with Toriaz while she found the Pokemon series and other caches I have previously found. However, on our way home she suggested stopping for this cache. I admit, I've driven past this cache several times now without stopping, usually at the end of a day of caching, like today. So we parked nearby and walked into the park. It was a good time to look, with the sun not quite set, but absolutely no one around to bother us. I found the cache after considering one or two other possibilities. Thanks
Found on my way from work to the dentist at Camden, and doing this cache made me a little late.
This area is changing so much, nice little park. Couple of muggles in the park, hopefully my timing was OK and they didn't spot me grabbing & replacing the container I was in a bit of a rush so just had to do it. I don't think any of them were tall enough to reach.

Found nice and early. Geo daughter in law found while son was soccer training near by. Tftc
First find in a long time. Was having dinner in the area and couldn't resist having a look for this one. Took a while to find. I must be a little rusty ☺
Sorry for the late log on these caches, but we've been having too much fun on school holidays. We went out caching with Dad (The Rats). On a very hot afternoon we stopped and grabbed this one.
Thanks
Thanks
Its amazing to see the area of Oran Park transformed from a race track in a rural setting to an urban sprawl of dwellings.
Thanks
Thanks
Easy find once you're at the right angle. Now I'm waiting for the drizzle to die down a bit before I walk back to the car. Today I was meant to be skating but the rink closed early due to the heat, so I came out to grab some caches instead. The three I've done in this series have highlighted some of the unease I feel about these new insta-suburbs. Each location has been pleasant enough I suppose but the houses, streets and parks are all indistinguishable from each other. It all seems so sterile and artificial. I guess they will soften up over time and the turbulence of life will knock some of the edges off and add some personality to the place, but for the moment all I can think of is the song "little boxes". TFTC!
The Booos were out on a maintenance run today and we grabbed this one while in the area a nice quick find here today thanks
Heading towards anticipated gz, we became aware we'd set our sights too far afield. Eyes peeled our OC spotted the cache on approach. We Waited out the only muggle at the park, whilst the geokids played on the equipment. Didn't have to wait too long & cache was retrieved, signed & returned. Blends well. As we we departed in the geomobile the rains started....good timing team! Tftc xo
Cache#9 found with Chrissy61 & Unicorn 8. TFTC Loved playing in park on this beautiful day.
Quickly located once at GZ . No muggles here at this moment. This area is expanding so fast. TFTC
Nice park, no muggles today. Took a little time until I worked out what was needed to retrieve cache. TFTC.
Another new local development with interesting activities for kids. I will have to bring geo-dog to try out the new off lead park. A little difficult for shorties, thanks.
Had a nice sleep in this morning while the kids were off at camp. So I needed a nearby cage to grab on the way to work.
A short walk across the creek as the footpath doesn't go the right way, for a quick find
Thanks for the cache.

Tftc. Mobsey and I were on our way home from work and the notification popped up. Off the train and straight to the cache. As we started the search, Hilster arrives so we ended up with a 3 way joint FTF.
Got the notification email on way home on train, said to Mrs Jaybeem lets go. After a joint FTF of a nearby cache with Jaybeem & Hilster, we agreed to meet up at this one. A bit of a stretch for us vertically challenged but we managed. Another joint FTF with Jaybeem & Hilster. TFTC!

After finding a near by cache with Mobsey and Jaybeem we all decided to meet up at this one. I arrived first and saw the cache so while I was waiting for Mobsey and Jaybeem when a person was getting closer. I quickly grabbed the cache and sat for him to go waited for the other two to turn up. A short time later they arrived and the log duties were done and cache replaced. TFTC Mozy1503. Always great to meet other cachers and swap a few stories. I even found out that I have a few FTF of Jaybeem's caches.
