This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).

I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.


Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache.

If you plan on repairing this cache, please log a note to the cache (not email) within the next 45 days so I don't archive the listing for non-communication.

I'm not sure who Black is, nor what he has to do with this cache? Perhaps he's one of the council workers helping to preserve the natural vegetation in this reserve. Seems he and his fellows are doing a great job of maintaining the "farmers friends" here. Surprised

Love that I stumbled upon this vigoro fields series, I wonder how many there are? Also loved the log in this cache, aaah... vigoro and that place, two things I love! TFTC.

A quick find this arvo. Initially head for wrong tree. Followed GPS .. saw camo and made find.
Log dry.
Container good condition.
I normally don't fave this type of cache container but the old school sign in the park plus Lorikeets plus maintenance plus nice location... earns a fp.

When you are on the Great Western Highway parking is a bit of an issue, so taking advantage of having hired a car for the weekend I decided to come out west for some finds. Parked in the next street to the east and walked back for a fairly quick find after the phone had a second think about things, it initially led me to the middle of a clearing! Nobody in the park today, thanks wraacie.

Thanks wraccie.

2nd cache for the morning.
I've never played vigoro or even seen it live but my mum used to play and really enjoyed it.
I walked through the Pendle Hill Woodland towards the cache. It was a bit creepy as the wind was so strong and the trees were creaking as I crunched my way across the fallen stuff. Fortunately the cache was a really quick find and I was able to sign the log and visit some TBs, replace the cache and escape from the trees before any branches fell.

TFTC # 2515, Streak day #145

Yay for unloved! My apologies to the birds who thought I was a threat and squawked their little heads off while I was looking for the cache. TFTC!

Wanting to cache but not wanting any more numbers before my 2000th find at the mega next week I have done a very overdue maintenance run on all my caches.
This one has been replaced and ready to be found.

#3396 The carbon geobike was not keen on getting the farmers friends, so I got enough for both of us. Nice hide. Many thanks to the CO "wraacie" for establishing and maintaining another local cache.

Found quickly with no one around. Sign the log but my pen stopped working halfway through signing. TFTC.

I love it when a park is totally empty – had the whole place to 1’s self. Took a bit to find but got there in the end. All I can say is for other people I have made a good path for you – all the prickles ended up on my jeans - TFTC / TFTH / SL

Gotta love Geocaching in the rain, the park was deserted, had to dodge the spider web near the cache. The log was nice and dry TFTC

With nobody playing on the field this cache was found quickly and easily. The log was signed and the cache was replaced as found. Thank you wraccie for placing this cache.

I was in the area here this morning and with the playing field empty made for an easy walk to GZ and soon found the camouflaged cache, thanks.

Did a maintenance check on this, this afternoon. And all is well cache on.

A nice straightforward cache is always a pleasure to find and this one fits in that category. Log was signed, all was placed back and it was back to the geo mobile, trying to dodge all those farmers friends. Thank you to wraacie for telling us about what used to happen here.

I was running early for a meeting with a client just down the road. Perfect opportunity to stop and find a cache along the way.

#798 been here a number of times and always had the GPSr wandering around from tree to tree. This time it pointed to one. Took me a little while to spot what should have been obvious. Signed the log and replaced as found. Thanks for the cache wraacie

No. 660

I parked on the street and made my way in to GZ, passing a lone man practicing kicking a football. Approached the cache area and soon had it in hand. Signed and replaced as found, all in good order. TFTC.

Found with Trodectus on way home from visit. Stealthy walking so as not to attract attention from muggles. Quick find after a short search. Log signed and replaced. TFTC
 
25-Jun-16
Found with Coybear2000. We arrived just as it was getting dark. There were still some muggles playing on the nearby field. GPS settled on GZ, but nothing was obvious until I pulled out a torch and then we had CIH. TFTC

Out and about for a friend...with some time to spare beforehand, I picked up a few caches. TFTC

This Geocache has it all for master Q and myself. A lovely playground, a bit of forest to walk though and a cache. Perfect afternoon:)

Loved the cache. Very creative:)

Parked on Hazel, walked up the mown strip adjacent the cream colorbond fence and headed in.

This was a quick one but not sure of it's potential longevity.

Thanks for another hide wraacie

Find Number 3490

The Booo's found this cache!

A short walk to GZ and a brief search once there soon put the cache in Mrs. Booos hands.
After completing the signing duties and returned the cache, we made our way back to the wagon.

Thanks wraacie for placing this cache

#3538- Having been out Cobbitty way I headed back home, but not thinking I missed the mountains turnoff so turned right towards the city instead. Oh well- a few more caches perhaps? This one turned up not far away in an area I have all but cleared.
Yes, if you take the mown path, you will almost certainly avoid the grasshoppers, but of course, no... I didn't. Plus my pants seem to attract them like mad. I found the cache then spent half an hour pulling them off. Thanks

Had the entire oval to myself so didn't need to skulk around. After walking through the long grass I got to GZ with 2 legs full of farmers friends. Found the cache easily enough SL #2423 on streak day #1316 TFTC

The cords were accurate and the two possible geotrails at GZ were just convenient cues.

#2673 (1 of 2 today) (Streak day 268)

Had to deliver Geoson #3 out west, so thought a quick grab or two would be the ticket for today.
Ended up grabbing two caches by **wraacie** (in the wrong order) with a quick breakfast in
between, and met up with a fellow cacher who left my second find to go to my previous target.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
There are council workers way over the other side of the park, but they should be so far away they'll be oblivious.
Made my way to GZ, through the long grass.
A nice quick find after having to disturb a spider's web. Managed to avoid a large orb weaver's web right next to GZ.

Completed signing duties and replaced. Then back to the cut area. And the workers haven't moved. Is that unusual for council workers? Big Grin

Now, where is #1? Not here. It's... Oh, that far away. Will grab a bite of breakfast then go for it.

9/2/16. 11:13 AM. Cache #3492. Streak day #597.
3rd of 3 this morning - Guildford, Greystanes & Girraween, all by wraacie.

Following on from VF#1, I hoped that this one would be just as quick to find. It was. Time to head home. TFTC.

Well i had another couple of caches in mind for today, but they were to fast in the wrong direction for the amount of time I had left before work. This one though, was close enough to call it my second find for the day.
Nice and easy after the wade through the long grass.
Thanks for the cache.
 
08-Feb-16
Detoured here on my way to work and at 6am, it's still quite dark.
Was able to make the find just as two muggles entered the park separately from the east and west of the suggested parking waypoint, each with a pooch. I believe if I was 5-10mins later then I would of been muggled out.
Gee, the grass and weeds are thriving at GZ, like painting the harbour bridge but with mowing. Start at one end and when you finish, you start again, thanks Wraacie for the smiley

There I was sitting at home doing my tax, when this came through. the paperwork can wait!
Expected it to have been found already, but I turned up to an empty park. Looked around a bit but soon had CIH & a lovely blank log to sign.
