Dropped the lad of at Uni and thought I would grab a few caches.
But unfortunately it was one of THOSE days. Surprised
You know - the days where you just couldn't find an ammo can in the middle of a basketball court. [B)]
I came. I walked around the park grabbing the clues. Walked to my calculated GZ and saw the mural. Cool. Cool I then spent about twenty minutes search but all to no avail. So I sat down and redid the calculations. Same result. Twisted
Spent another twenty minutes in an ever widening search. Same result! Twisted
I shall return!
Thanks Cat_Minion for the search.

Another DNF on the day. I searched for 30 minutes, flew my drone, got bit up by mozzies, and searched some more. I had a look back in January and couldn't find it then, either Sad

A very nice park here, met lots of ppl walking their dogs. Took photos of the park and had a "Nourishing " coffee across the road while working on the co-ordinates. A fun cache, thanks Smile

After a earlier visit a worker muggle looked like they would be there for a few days, today looks like all the work was complete leaving a easy search to find the cache all safe and secure, loved the walk around the park TFTC Cat_Minion Wink

A nice park. Quiet today. Reasonably quick find after gathering the info. Thanks Cat minion.
 
05-Apr-17
Collected the info but once at GZ muggle worker has dug a trench adjacent GZ, it would seem cache may just be out of the work zone according to a previous finder, will have to return once the works are complete for another look, until then TFTC cat minion

Have been meaning to drop by to look for this cache for ages as its on my direct route to work. With a few minutes to spare on my way home today I thought I'd give it a go. It was good to learn about the history of the park as I collected the clues, sat at one of the benches to do the sums and headed off to search for the cache. At first I thought it was missing, buried under the very close-by earthworks but luckily a glint of plastic amongst the foliage revealed its location. Thanks for the history and cache Cat Minion!
 
02-Apr-17
Found with Moneydork, hevwalker and AnyMules.
Visited this park before for another cache.
A lovely mural & bonus, a cache.
Will have to come back for the munzees one day.
Thanks for the cache Cat_Minion

After a DNF on this one previously, it was good to return his afternoon with helpers to finally make the find. Flat to have this one. Finally ticked off.

Thanks for the cache Cat_Minion. Found on 2 Apr 2017 at 6:24 pm. Find #4462.

Nice to find it this time

Found while out & about with AnyMules, clare007 & Moneydork after the SAGA Awards...
A nice evening for a walk in the park...we searched for a while then Clare came out of the bush with the cache...TFTC Cat_Minion

We enjoyed our wander around this very attractive park, collecting the required information along our walk. With the final coordinates calculated, we headed off to GZ. Despite accurate coordinates it took as a couple of minutes before the cache was located. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks Cat_Minion for the cache in an enjoyable location.

Owl was out with Izwalk, slowly heading to an event in the city. This was owl's second attempt at the multi - a previous visit with SA Sewer Rats had given multiple solutions to the questions and coordinates in private property. Owl had a guess at the hide and had it confirmed by a PaF, so back today with Izwalk and a quick find.
 
26-Feb-17
Found with Owl today.

Had as much of a look as I could during lunch, without alerting muggles to what I was up to. Couldn't place hands on anything that was cache like.
 
15-Feb-17
Found the answers quite easily in the dark. Worked out the final location which seemed to fit the hint. Two of looking and we couldn't find it. May have to return in the light to search again.
 
15-Feb-17
No luck at night
 
Worked out and found by The Boofs TFTC.

Took a while to find it. Lovely park
 
05-Oct-16
Well camouflaged. It was very tricky, and very well hidden. We liked it.
Thanks for the cache.

Great spot, I wasted a bit of time looking in 'more obvious' places first; found it after much hunting and with the help of a glint of sunlight off the lid. Thanks for the cache. Pencil is broken - one day I'll remember to bring a sharpener when caching...
 
23-Sep-16
Tricky!
 
17-Sep-16
Found It!
A nice little park that I have cached in several times before. I've even been under it in Second Creek to. I found the plaques, did the maths and made my way to GZ. After initially dismissing the cache as a bit of rubbish I dragged it out and realised what it was!

I have been eyeing this one off for about a week and today, Dad's day 2016, on a caching bike ride/raid Big Grin and grabbing another Puzzle very nearby to bring up my 600th [^], I made the swoop. I gathered all the info at the spots within this lovely scenic park, (albeit one of the plaque stones being small and could easily be missed). I got a set of co-ords that had me actually within the park, (things looking good there I'd hazard a guess) I went over to GZ and had a search but turned up nothing [v]. I went and sat down and trawled through the logs again and saw one that mentioned about viewing from a 'Different Angle' so I went back and tried again and Bingo! Cache in Hand and found myself signing the log at 14:50 on Sun 4 Sept 2016. Find #601 [^] Love the Cache Container Smile It was a bit wet inside so i wiped it all clean and replaced it's contents.

Pretty spot, had a bit of an oops with the co-ords, but eventually found our way back to the hide TFTC, TNLNSL

TFTC !!
Even though waterproof,some water has entered making log book a bit damp.

found at 1300hrs, we realised the error of our coords from our last attempt & after a short search we had the cache in hand. Nice park, thanks Cat Minion

Geodad decided to have a bit of a cache run while MM was at her Saturday morning singing activities. I'd actually wandered around this park a few weeks ago on election day on my first attempt at finding this cache. I managed to spot the required plaques for A, B, C and E, but after doing a couple of laps I had not come across any information about D or F. A few dog owners where probably getting a bit suspicious about me wandering all over the place and not really looking like I was going anywhere. Finally, I decided to go back over everything again and I eventually spied where I needed to go to fill in the last pieces of the puzzle. A quick calculation had me somewhere down the street, so I reinterpreted one of the clues which took me to a place that matched the hint. At GZ I was sure I'd find the cache in a certain spot, but after a fairly thorough search, found nothing. I expanded the searching area, but still came up with nothing. It was then time to pick MM up, so I went away empty handed.

Moving forward a couple of weeks, I had checked my numbers again and everything looked OK. So I returned on another Saturday morning to GZ. I walked up to the same spot, looked in a slightly different place and found the cache immediately. How did I miss that!!

Thanks Cat Minion! Nice cache in a nice park.

Tried to solve this remotely but could not find all the data I needed. Was in the area today so went for a walk around the park which is one I have visited before. I quickly gathered most of the required information and then an educated guess was enough to get me a cache in hand.

had a good look for this one, even after phoning a friend, no luck. Hopefully it hasn't gone missing

A Saturday afternoon drive through suburbia to 'clean up' some old question marks on the map.
This was the first location I stopped. All clues were gathered and a likely location plotted. However I did not find the cache in the 'logical' locations. I was just about to PAF and suddenly I spotted the cache from a different angle.
Thanks Cat Minion for the puzzle/multi
 
02-Jul-16
I did the hard work on Thursday and was fooled by the decoy. Today I returned with a definite edge and found the cache in the first place I looked.

The night was dark and stormy, and all through the park, not a creature was stirring, not even a....wait a minute...seems the skies cleared and the stars aligned to have two cachers cross paths at this cache. TFTC

Now what a Wacky experience. [^] Fancy meeting a cute gecko wandering around in the dark! It was thirsty work Smile Clear skies tonight.

Found this on a lovely afternoon caching with JJ52 and Ismartis to help Ismartis find her 3000th cache. We were happy to find a Freddo, Zytheran and *Cache_or_Check* cache to mark this momentous occasion.

I remember doing a Trad in this park a few years ago so was nice coming back to this lovely park.
Thanks for the cache.
 
19-Jun-16
Out for a great afternoon with Ismartis and Gral4 to help Ismartis celebrate her 3000th find. [^] We had to find a few before the momentous occasion and this was one of them. Big Grin

What a great park...we wandered around gathering the required info then worked out our GZ and after a short search the cache was found. [^]

Thanks for the cache Cat Minion. Smile

I was out caching today with my friends JJ52 and Gral4 on a great winter's afternoon to get me to 3000 finds Big Grin. We started the afternoon with a bang Surprised at Bang Bang and did some good caches, including 2 Freddo's, a Cache_or_Check and a Zytheran puzzle Big Grin, so the bangs just kept on coming SurprisedSurprisedSurprised. Then JJ and I went out for a celebratory dinner [^]

Lots of fun was had by all Big Grin.

Had fun walking around this lovely park and collecting the info, then JJ made the find. I had been here once before to find a traditional cache.

Had been going to grab this one late last night by torchlight with GoodLook but she convinced me this could be difficult under the stars ... well .... under the very black rain filled clouds. We returned very early this morning and took some time to collect all of the info. Found the prize ..... signed the log!!!!! A lovely park ..... we were chatting to a couple of council workers who were obviously very proud of the location. Thanks Cat Minion for the hide .............. a favourite!!
 
17-Jun-16
Last night I had asked CP if we could do this one under torchlight, then it was looking like we were going to get drenched and I figured it was going to be tricky in those conditions Sad.....therefore we returned early this morning (gosh, caching b4 work is something I rarely do, but with a keen buddy, who was I to say no?!) RazzWinkBig GrinCool

It took ages to grab all of the required info, but what a fantastic park and location.

Thanks for the cache Cat Minion Smile

Mr Tardis went for a nice walk through this park today and gathered some numbers. I found the cache in the second place I looked. A bronze place for Mr Tardis. A beautiful park.

Signed the log. Thanks for the cache Cat_Minion.

Pretty sure that we have solved this one however, we are thinking that the final cache hide is right near a wasp nest. Not willing to play with the wasps (no matter how much geomum protested about not finding it) we retreated to the safety of the geomobile. Next time we're in the area, we'll have another look.
 
13-Jun-16
And 9 days later we get silver.... WOW
What is going on out this side of town? lol
On way home from June LWE, and needed to go past here to get home, so a quick stop to gather the info.
A very nice park indeed..... must've been a great mayor to get such a park...
The cache proved elusive initially, but was found after a cpl of mins. (watch out for the fresh poo under the nearby bush! Sad
Grabbed to TB to move along....
Nice work on the cache...

Thanks

Went and checked the cache location and we couldn't see any sign of wasps in the near vicinity
