Needs maintencen. As we and three other cachers at the same time looked high and low for what appears to be an easy cache and couldnt not locate anything but a purple lid that was perhaps part of a cache.

Didn't find
 
23-Apr-17
Arrived at this cache to see a few other people looking around GZ.. It turned out to be Team_lewin, aussieben and kingfisher.au. Looks like the cache has been muggled, We did find a lid in the garden that looks like it probably come from the cache.
Be a good idea to check it out.

12-Jul-16
Checked this today and have taken out a couple of notes in the log that were not relevant. There seems to be someone around making rude comments in the logs. I've put in a couple more swaps and next visit will put it all in a plastic bag as it seems a few of the swaps went rusty so must be getting a bit of water in it, sorry. Please let me know if you find a problem. Thanks, Matty

Found while I waited for my car to get serviced at nearby Klosters. After walking around for a few hours in the midday sun, I was thankful for the shade at the GZ! Cache was in the first place I looked (that doesn't happen too often - yay!). I left a TB to continue its journey! Cache in good condition, TFTC

#2910 - Nice, quick grab, then wander over to the sea for signing duties. Then easy walk-by and drop in. Checked out the WW1 memorial, the very old undated canons and the rose garden. Had morning tea in the park here with muggle friend Jim who has assisted me around the world by looking around for caches (in the snow in Czech republic, keeping security away from me in St Petersburg in Russia, and holding the cache container while I do the signing duties). Many thanks to mattyb0mba for establishing and maintaining this cache. Worthy of a favourite being a simple grab which can be done in muggle time.
 
I haven't been out caching in about 6 months but today i was in Newcastle for a street market at Hamilton and was parked right near this beautiful park.
Hmmm i wonder if there's a cache here ... it's such a lovely park.
Yep , thanks Matt.i couldn't get my GPS working so i walked around the park and soon saw the clue

Found easily
Lots of people around but i just sat on the fence and had a drink.
Signed , sealed , delivered back into its hidey hole.

Love the container.
Everything inside nice and dry.
