Found it easily but lots of 4 legged muggles. Geowiffie found "a bl###y big spider" when putting the cache back.

I rode to the Blood Bank this morning after dropping short-stuff off at school, and was free for the rest of the day, so had an opportunity to give the bike a decent workout. This was my first stop on the way to ride some trails I haven't visited in way too long.
A nice quick find, especially as the cache was a little exposed. Contents were a tad damp. Cheers, Padlocke + The Void.

Nice park. Had my muggle friend with me and my youngest. Could easily bring the pram. TFTC
Found it! Late to log, but it's there. Plenty of muggles walking by, though TFTC
Was just about to give up. The GPS kept wandering around, finally the clue presented itself. Nice clump of trees. TFTC
Great spot! Cache had a tiny bit of water in it and stuff was slightly damp so I took the chance to dry it out, since the park was completely empty on Christmas Eve and it was a nice 33 degrees. TFTC. Team MDMC
Co-ords were about 10m out today. Once the right tree was located an easy find. Gave the log book a new plastic bag, and dropped off a TB that I have had in my possession for a little while. It needs to get to higher altitudes into the snow, so I hope some one can help it get there. Nice place. Thanks Padlocke. TFTC.
Took a while to locate in the dark and I suspect that I may have spooked another cacher on my approach. Sorry about that geobuddy.
Our first geocache on the Australian continent! 
We serched for this one together with Mrs CityKatterna's muggler cousin, while we learned him about our hobby and what extra dimensions it gives tor your travels.
**Thanks** for the cache!

*Finally vacation and time for the trip ”down under” to Australia and New Zealand via China. We’re expecting to see a lot of different animals and flowers and also hope to find nice caches and meet other geocachers during our journey.*

Another day, another cache - now 60 days with cache in a row. It was a lovely day for a walk with the GeoDog, and given that we needed a cache, it was a great opportunity for the geodog to get some new smells while we got the cache. The cache was a little bit difficult with the other dog loving muggles but we finally had a break and was able to grab the cache which was reasonably easy for find.
Thanks for the cache and bringing us to this lovely park.

Beautiful setting, I hope to come here again. I also dropped a TB in its first cache.
Quick find for this one, the cache is in great condition, not wet at all and with a log book nice and dry and ready for our mark. We added a couple of trinkets for future cache hunters... 
Prefer 809/249. Protective bag on ground and full of water. Hung it up on convenient 'hook' ready for next person to return it to it's duties. Spent a lot of time in the wrong spot. Wouldn't want to be here in slithery season! T4TC
Took a little whit rustling through the bushes. Nice park Iv never been to thanks!
Took way longer than it should have but easy to spot once we widened our search. Left a secret!!!! Thanks for bringing us here
SueHut and I had to take Geokid #1 to an appointment at Royal Children's today, but on the way back... We could see Geotrails to the left and right, but it took us some time to find the right tree. Got there in the end! Thanks heaps, Padlocke!
A quick and easy walk by while we were passing through filling some gaps in our LGA map. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.
The area was deserted around lunchtime plus with the beginnings of a geotrail the cache was in hand quickly.
I'd suggest a new container as the current one hasn't withstood the weight of the rock terribly well.
Thanks for providing an interesting diversion from the multi which has a WP nearby.
TNLNSL and visited a couple of personal TBs.

Yay this I've had been I my radar for ages ad it is within 2km walk of my house (a bit longer with all the roadworks). Good spot. Cache was a little obvious so covered it a bit better. Thanks!
A little off but once widened a bit quickly to hand. Maybe the hint is a bit too specific.
GPS was off but found it easily once I trekked further into the tree forest. TFTC
Found on the way home from work. Had to circle around a bit till I found it. Watch out for the dog poo, I didn't. Thanks anyway.
Suscoe's 5th find of the day.
All quiet here, took a little bit of circle work but finally the hide was located.
Log signed and on our way.
Thanks to Padlocke for this hide.
Beaut sunshine today all day long.

The cache took way too long to find! The GPS was all over the place. Useless.
Parked the GPS in my pocket and resorted to looking around using the clue. It all depends on the angle you approach it from as to whether you see it or not.

Took us a little longer than what it should have to find this one. Nice and easy once we spotted it.
Took ages to find the right spot but got there in the end. Watch out for spiders!
While my son was playing hockey I went for a short walk and found this cache. A few muggles and their dogs were using the park but I was able to use the vegetation as cover for my caching activity.
Thanks Padlocke for this cache.
Thanks Padlocke for this cache.
My first find as a geocacher! It wasn't too hard and close to my house as well so I took my dog for a walk past it. Luckily I brought a pen as the container doesn't seem to have one.
Went on a skate at lunch and found this one, filled in a spot on the calendar and got a tiny bit fitter at the same time. I enjoyed the secret admission slip idea 
#50 and close to home - how fitting! I got really excited when this popped up, although I'm yet to achieve FTF status!

We found the cache in the open about 15m from our GZ. It fits the hint though, so maybe the co-ords need to be checked here. I suspect the cache will not last long where it is as it's very exposed.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks for this cache here today.

The coords seemed to be a little off for me but the hint solved any issues like that. A very dry and bare reserve here!
This cache prompted me to update my Instant Notifications. I'm meant to get an email when caches within 20km of me are published, and this cache is very, very close to home. Turns out that my notifications home co-ords were set to somewhere in a deserted part of Russia. I have no idea how I managed that! Fixed now. Found easily on a deserted Leap Day lunchtime. Left some foreign coins and a secret, took nothing. Nice traditional cache!
We were in the area doing another cache and decided to stop and find this one which was nearby. Took us a while but MMelb eventually came across it as we scanned the bush. Thanks Padlocke

I had to get this one quickly as I had a teeny amount of time between school drop off and meeting a friend for a walk, and it was actually further to jog down to than I thought it would be, but no matter. the park was pretty much empty when I was down there, and after a confusing few minutes, I checked the previous logs, broadened my search area and found it, so the co-ords are a little off... Hard in thickets to get the satellite to co-operate.
Fond the cache - TNLN - except a secret on the notecards, which would have been a much juicier one had there been more secrets there for mine to hide amongst... so you get a lame 2nd rate secret, but a secret nonetheless, and one which, as per the request, no-one else knows. I didn't see any others as I was being quick, and didn't look at all the cards.
On my way back, I was sprint walking to my next destination and had to pause at the traffic lights, a lovely lady pensioner on a bike leaned over and whispered
"all these B******* should get out of their cars and walk or cycle!"
which made me giggle all the way back.

Took our geodog Shadow for a walk here while we looked for this cache. Other people and dogs were around, but not close enough to disrupt our hunt. Cache was found reasonably quickly at 7:45pm, but like geo_jas we had it about 10m from where the GPS was pointing and had to widen our search using the clue. Enjoyed having a wander around the park, as did Shadow.

Starting work early has some advantages. Pretty high on the list is the chance to be first to grab caches published overnight. When I woke this morning, I saw a number of caches published and this on isn't too far off my route so a obviously a visit was required.
It was nice and quiet when I arrived so I followed the arrow through the island. Gz had me at the edge of the island so using the hint, I widened my search area and quickly had the cache in hand about 10m away. I only had my phone so it's probably me.
Log signed and cache replaced and I was on my way to work only about 15min later than usual.
Thanks Padlocke + The Void for the nicely hidden cache and the early morning adventure.
