Have previously found this cache. I was passing by today and thought to check up on it; however appears cache is missing. Renewal is required.
Had a look for a while but it started raining before we could find it. Its either gone or I'm just blind!
P.S: it's not the coffee cup in the window...

This is a cool cache. Im pretty sure I've found one like this before, which I'm pretty sure is yours also.
Found using hints from Previous logs..
Love it.
GZ is just a touch out for me, so just think of usual places.

Favourited!!

An awesome day geocaching in three of Aus’s cool suburbs. Thanks so much for the great hides. Ran around with geobabe today finding caches everywhere to solve the mystery. Log to follow
As a young girl I loved cricket, I have fond memories of my Grandfather "always" having cricket on either the television or the radio and not so fond memories of my Dad rousing on me for asking too many questions (about cricket) whilst he was watching cricket. David Boon, Ian Healy and Dean Jones were my heroes and who could forget Merv Hughes stretching in the outfield and the crowd behind all copying his actions!
"Back in the day" there were still "boys sports" and "girls sports", therefore girls (including myself) were not allowed to play cricket. A travesty! This meant however that I was introduced to the wonderful game of vigoro, how I loved sports days playing vigoro! Since my primary school days in Townsville I've never played vigoro again, but by year 10 girls were finally allowed to play cricket, and so I did!
Thanks for this great cache, and thanks for the memories!

That was a bit tricky. I was going to give up (as they all say, right) when i decided to have a closer look. Why? because a previous log suggested that there was something tricky about it. TFTC
Came here a while back and couldn't find the cache but didn't log it as a dnf as I had spoke to the CO who had just maintained it and said it was definitely there.
Came back via bicycle today from Sydney Olympic Park. An 11km ride. Training up for MS Gong ride.
Pulled up right next to gz and found it within a minute. Used a tool to fetch it.
Very sneaky.
Cache container in good condition and new.
Log dry.

Sneaky and yet I chose to search everywhere but the obvious.
CIH once I made a closer inspection on where I needed to be, thanks for the hide placement

I think I'm going to buy a lottery ticket as clearly today is my lucky day. I've been looking for this cache way too many times. Either I wasn't looking in the right spot or it was missing or there were council workers blocking my search. Always something. Today I found it within 3 seconds. Unbelievable really.
Muggle activity is high here so be careful. Great hide, thank you!!

Had a quick look here, not many hide places. Checked them all.
All under the watchful eye of the man at number 96 across the street.
I’ll be back once confirmed it’s still in place.

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.
The coords are the same but the hidden is a little different hopefully to stop it being muggled replace carefully so it does fall you may need a tool of the trade.

I will be home from holidays in a few days and will fix this one. Sorry for the delay.
DNF- our GPS was referring to a sign. Looks like the council put a new sign in, hence the DNF
No wonder I couldn't find it the last time I was here, that is not the type of hide I was looking for! Anyway I got in close and spied the little sucker, and good luck to the next searcher, as it might be harder to see now.
As soon as I arrived, there were muggles looking on from their houses. I went for a quick look then went around the corner out of sight. Looked through some logs and waited it out until the muggles retreated back into their houses. I then took another quick look but wasn't looking good. I retreated back to the car but read through more logs. Yes,it appears muggles maybe moving the cache around, I PAF and they confirmed the location and the possibility of the cache muggles. I then when for a third attempt and had to look at a different angle to spot the cache. So it appears then cache has moved again. So the cache is still there on its hiding place. Just look at every angle to where it may hide to next time the muggles try to move it. Tftc
My first of this kind! Even with the cache creep, this is definitely a good hiding spot! TFTC!
Annoyingly they are council workers parked right at gz. After a while waitingI managed to quickly go in and check the old spot however nothing. Nothing on the ground either previous logs suggested. If it was in the same spot as the old geocache, It's gone. Cant really look in other spots due to the council men. Will be back.
It is still there I was there with GoldJ on Monday. It is not in the same spot, it has creeped a little but coordinator are the same. It is actually a better spot it may spot it being muggled.
19/08/17. 8:05 AM. Cache #5265.
2nd of 3 this morning - Harris Park, South Wentworthville, Guildford.
First time caching again in the week after a combination of busy days and then being laid low with the flu, so it was good to be able to get out. Grabbed "Watch This Space" first, and with that picked up the souvenir for today (Happy IG Day everyone!)
Came here next and once I'd parked adjacent to the building, I remembered the location from the original version of this cache and exactly how it had been hidden. So, I hopped out of the car and tried where I expected it to be. Huh? Nothing there?
I called a PAF who confirmed that this redux was meant to be the same as the original, so that had me thinking this was gone. Then I noticed it on the ground, perhaps it had blown off given the magnet is not very strong at all. I signed the log and replaced it where it was meant to be. Next off to "1891 Linwood". TFTC.

I also found this one on the ground. It had blown out again? or muggles are playing games?
Signed the log and placed it how I thought it may supposed to be hidden.

#4281- Knowing exactly what I was looking for after missing its incarnation before it was archived, it was a quick park'n'grab between snoopy neighbours on my way to lunch with my muggle brother. This micro is obvious only to a cacher. Thanks.
Streak Day #1490 - New where GZ would be as i was driving here...managed to be stealthy enuf to not arouse suspicion. TFTC
Nice quick find as I had found the predecessor and remembered the hide. SL #3254 on streak day #1860 TFTC
Arrived at GZ and had the park to myself, just one muggle working on a car across the road.
I timed my searches to when he was facing the other way or popped back inside.
I must admit I convinced myself it was gone again so reached out to a previous finder. They gave me intel that meant I very soon had CIH and muggle mechanic was none the wiser.
TFTC let's hope this ones stays put
I've never heard of Vigoro.......googling now !

Congratulation
Well done Ashley.kate and Frazel. On finding this. If it is muggles again I will archive it permanently.

I had the opportunity for a FTF on this one's first incarnation but was challenged in a certain way. With exactly the same hide it was an easy find. The system again allows me to claim this as a find even though I had found the original twin of this.

#4240 (1 of 2 today)
While I didn't go for the First2Find on my finds today, I did notice that these two caches had been resurrected. That, at least, meant that I only had to remember where the hides had been when last I found them.
Found both, but at the first there were muggle problems...
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Parked close, and first waited for two muggles leaving the park after using the equipment. Then walked to GZ for a quick find. Took it well away to complete signing duties - good thing I did.
By the time I was ready to replace it there were two muggles in their front years with a view of GZ. Then a third appeared.
So cache still in hand I took a walk. Ten minutes later I was back near GZ and only one of the muggles was still around - but out of sight so I could make the quick replace.
Then got out of there.
Can see why this one is problematical. I didn't have this problem last time, though.

Got there in the end. Came here earlier in the hope for a FTF but couldn't spot a thing. Msgd the CO who confirmed it had gone missing but had now been replaced. Came back and made this our 4th FTF today. What a day!
Came via here earlier today for a FTF searched for ages but could not find,sent msg to CO and they conformed it had already been muggles. CO has now replaced so we came back and we're able to a quick find. Another joint FTF for tonight with Ashley.Kate. Great night 4 FTF's. Our record.
