When I visited it was in between rocks. It was vulnerable to heavy rains so probably dislocated or missing. Vulnerable location.
Geokids wanted to check on this one while we were at this park today. It was not where we found it previously? Hmmm.
Returned to avenge our previous 'Did Not Find' after the cache went missing recently but has kindly since been replaced. I had given up on this one again and was calling in the troops when geokid E exclaimed "I found it". Phew! GPS bounce had us on both sides of the creek. The leaf litter here is thick, grab a stick and scratch around!
Thanks for replacing this cache!
Geokid E: "It took us way too long to find the cache. We looked around and around the obvious area the cache was in. We were just about to give up when I ran over to the spot we had been searching, scratched through the leaves and there it was. A very nice geocache. TFTC"

This was a very quick find because the cache was in plain sight the log is also missing, so I added a new waterproof log sheet and put the hide back under some camouflage to keep it safe. This is a gorgeous little waterway. TFTC

Did Not Find - MMEandK all present.
This cache is located beside a very small creek/water way with a nice walking/bike path running through the leafy area and plenty of play equipment to distract the geokids from the more important task at hand!
What to do?! Trust the GPS or the description? Searched the base of tress near both Ground Zero beside the creek with large rocks and near the path with the stepping stones without luck. The amount of leaf litter and creeping tangling vines increase the difficulty. Significant evidence of junior muggles playing in the bush also makes us wonder if the cache has been comprised. Amount of 'Did Not Finds' in recent logs also noted. Will watch and wait for more positive activity.
Thanks For The Cache!

To hard didn’t find any tree that looked the picture. Even looked with the new coordinates but only found a shallow hole in.a rock.
Cache is still in place! Removed some camo that had accumulated so it should be easier to find now.
Along with many other DNF. If the cache has been moved perhaps the hint & photo of tree should be updated
We looked and looked. And then looked again once we knew the case description should be changed. Although we knew what we were looking for, we still.couldn't find it
No luck with this one today. maybe cache blindness. enjoyed the ride here though.
Arrived at GZ and couldn’t see the distinctive tree anywhere in sight. Had a quick poke around and got lucky with stumbling over this one. Nice area! TFTC!
‘Rocks’ would be a good hint now, without making the hunt too easy.

Couldn’t find this, the GPS was jumping to both sides of the stream, found the tree in the photo but couldn’t see the cache, alas had to give up

Had a picnic with the CO Family and accepted the challenge for her nearby caches. We struggled to find this one. While I was fetching the GPS, Oddiewan spotted the cache.
Having a picnic with eatsleepcacherepeat, Semik and flashcat. After a fair bit of searching we found the CO’s cache.

Out for lunch with oddiewan,semik and eatsleepcacherepeat took a bit to find but eventually found it tftc
Plenty of mozzies. Bring the bug spray. Great park for the kids. No space for swappables but a great cache.

Found this one using the image, about 6 meters out, totally acceptable.
But there were so many possibilities.
The cache in just a small, and once at the correct tree it was very easy.
Thank you for another cache

Out for the day with nikid1. Another DNF for us today, mustn't have our caching eye in.
This was a DNF from us. No idea where this cache was, nor did I have any idea was there were 9 tentacles or which loo to use. Because my legs are roughly the same size I went for the left door.
Releuctant DNF after much searching. And there were indeed 9 tentacles. It must be a Kraken. I'll have to come back with the Geokid.
With our American visitor we did this well placed cache. Thankyou EatSleepCacheRepeat_ for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area
Replaced with new cache. About the same size but you are now looking for a fake rock
No luck for the chikins at this cache today. We had a good poke about and resorted to the hint but came up with nothing. You must have some sneaky way of hiding these caches that allude us. TFTH. It was another great park for the little chikins to play in. We had a great day finding your caches!! Attempt no. 8.
I was out with the youngest geodaughter today, and managed to convince her I should stop for some caches. She very patiently waited in the car while I made my way in to gz and hunted. and hunted. and hunted. Everywhere I moved was the same distance from the cache Using the hint I identified a few possible areas and sure enough came up with a container. Tftc eat.sleep.cache.repeat
Came down with a replacement after work but cache is still there and coords are good! Happy caching
Thick, thick bush. Too dark to see in the jungle-like terrain by the time we got there. Better luck next time maybe.
Lovely cache, might need to redo co-ordinates because it is about 98 meters off
I'd been participating in one of my other hobbies (medieval reenacting) at Fort Lytton today, and decided to check to see which caches that I needed for challenges. I saw this cache which fits a gap in a challenge, so after a long day at History Alive, I changed into modern clothes and drove over to find this cache and another nearby.
It was late and very dark when I got there, so I was relieved to see a few lights in the park, but soon I found myself stumbling through undergrowth by the light of my mobile phone (which had plenty of battery as I'd been playing medieval all day!) and squelching through water, alone and in the dark. It took me ten or fifteen minutes to finally unearth the cache - even though it wasn't actually covered or hidden, it was quite difficult to find! Happy to add a smilie here. Tftc

A nice park with lots of facilities and a cache of course.
Hope he does not squirt ink at me when I find him but he was ok.
Signed the log and returned to where I found it.
TNLNSL TFTC Thanks EatSleepCacheRepeat All good with this cache

In this area of Wakerley, this is one of many caches amongst what seems to be a maze of suburban streets. Tricky T and I have been to this area once before but had to give up finding this cache due to many muggles about. Due to a hint, we were able to find the cache easily enough.
Had tried for this one the last time we were here but the area was busy with lots of muggles so left it. Today was quiet so we ventured in. Resorted to the clue to limit our trampling about. Found safe and sound. Thanks ESCR.
While attending the nearby event, Mr Just a Trifle headed off with a few others to look for this recently replaced geocache. It took a little bit of searching and then Mr Just a Trifle managed to put his hands on the original cache container With our name added to the log book, we returned to the event site.
Thank you EatSleepCacheRepeat for having placed the cache and for maintaining it for everyone to enjoy.

We heard that the cache had been replaced, so wandered over for a look. After some scratching a cache was spotted and opened and realised it was the missing cache. Fortunately the cache owner and made the call that the original would remain.
So the logbook was ceremoniously passed around
Thanks eat.sleep.cache repeat for the adventure!

Found on event day being held in this park nearby with some awesome fellow geocachers. Thank you ESCR for the cache and for organising this event - we were so happy to finally meet you!
Arrived on the scene just as the cache was being found by some other friendly cachers from the nearby event. Great timing indeed,

Hop, skip and a jump from the event so had to be collected. Followed a group heading that way and the cache(s) were in hand as I arrived. TFTC!
Now that was good timing - arriving at GZ just as the cache had been spotted. This is a lovely park to have a few caches placed in it. Thanks ESCR.
Arriving at GZ there was a gathering of Geocachers there! So what is the word for a group of Cachers. Signed the log book and back to the Event. TFTC ESCR
Bit disappointed, definitely found the tree... i guess someone has taken it
Couldn't find this. Pretty sure it's been taken or moved because we matched the tree in the photo but cache was nowhere to be found. Great park here though!
Didn't find it -I think it has been muggled as it's supposed to be easy to find?
My daughter and I had agreed this was our last cache for the day before heading back home. We'd had some good laughs and some lunacy and some caches. When I parked the car it looked like a quick bush-bash to the cache but there was a creek in between us and GZ. When we walked around to the bridge, our eyes lit up. PARK!!!
There were playground toys everywhere and it looks like we were in for some serious fun. We just wanted to get started but first we had to find a cache. It was sitting out in the open and after signing the log I turned around and my daughter had already left to start hooning on the quip.
There were also public toilets and I wasn't sure I could hold all the coffee in before getting home. I also didn't want to be spinning around with a full bladder. The park was nice and green and an additional sprinkler wasn't required. My daughter had told me she was going to climb to the top of the spider web but when I returned she was only half way up. Apparently Gordon Ramsay had let out a few new tweets and she had to stop to read them.
There was one actual kid in the park and that little snot must have been jealous of us trying everything available at break neck speed. No necks were broken. tftc

Spent a drizzly morning South of the river hunting the fantastic plastic. Found thanks to the accurate hint, coords were 12m out for me here today.
Thanks for the hunt **eat.sleep.cache.repeat**, this find makes #4202. Discover our TB

I doubled back form the caches south of Tilley Road and headed in to this "new" estate. These houses were not here when I lived in this neck of the woods.
A very impressive park here. I stopped at the exercise equipment and did a few chin-ups. So much easier with this machine.
I continued along the path and I was surprised to find a toilet block. [^] A nice play area and lots of shady tables too.
I took a few photos of the "trees" in the park. It seemed a bit ironic to me that so many trees would have been felled to make the housing estate and they have used "public art" trees as a feature in the area.
The hint was helpful here, but I did examine quite a few trees with the GPSr still bouncing a bit. A nice quick find none the less.

Love the octopus and the stepping stones here. We probably approached from the wrong side to fully appreciate the park. It it was getting a solid workout today from families of all ages.
Not sure if the coordinates are a bit off or if this cloud cover is messing with our GPS but we found it in the end! TFTF
