With council works the hide area just isn't the same anymore and more prone to muggle interference. We hope to put out a new style cache in this park in the future.

We looked high, we looked low, we looked in, we looked out, but today there was no way we could work this one out!
The dragon got the better of us today!
Thanks for the hunt anyway ww2_nut.

No luck for Suscoe here this morning.
No sure where the cache was but we must have missed it.

This cache is nearest to my resort in Mildura but it wasn't until last day of my stay to come this way 
A relatively quick find in bushes.
A relatively quick find in bushes.Brand new log sheet signed.
Took a little time to find as I initially found what I thought I should be looking for but that wasn’t it. Deliberate trickery? Maybe, & if so, well done.

Cache has been replaced and ready to be found. Hide changed slightly due to council compromising previous hide.
Cache has gone missing during council works in the area. Replacement cache to come soon.
We FINALLY found it after ignoring the description. We replaced it exactly where we found it, but it must have been moved as it was no where near any of the She Oaks in the park.
A good way to get the kids moving around, though, and we had fun climbing ask the trees looking fur a micro that turned out NOT to be micro!

Definitely not easy at night time, however stray_dog managed to spot it almost immediately!! Well hidden. Tftc
The first attempt was all in vain as it seems gz wasn't where the little arrow said it should be.
Staying in the nearby caravan for a few days, we grabbed this one on the way out thanks to a PAF from the previous finder.
After scratching around like chickens, CP came up with the goods.
Thanks for the adventure in finding this one ww2_nut

We had looked for this on arriving in Mildura Friday evening but had no luck. Returned today and found the *^^%^%^ thing after some more searching!!! Soooooooooooo pleased to cross this one off our list!!! A favourite point for the memorable adventure!!
Found by Mary and David at 17:15:00. We did try to find this cache last February after the Valentines Day Event, but failed. A feeling of deja vu as we parked and walked over to GZ. This time David spotted a very small sign which, on investigation, turned out to be the cache. Always good to turn a DNF into a smile, especially after finishing the Turtle series earlier this afternoon. Our thanks to ww2_nut.
In Mildura for a few events grabbing caches for a few days while in the area. TFTC
Searched by two of us!! Too many spikes...blood drawn! Those dragons aren’t friendly!
Already late for tea, i quickly ducked into this ones GZ and luckily made a quick find... i just happened to spot what was needed to be spotted, {poorly explained Cliche there hey}. It was a good hide indeed and i reckon if i hadn't looked right at it at the start i would have DNF'd it in my haste to get back for tea. Lucky as!

Holidaying in Mildura, I'm enjoying being surrounded by unfound caches. Unfortunately I'm here with the extended family so it's hard to escape. This morning I dropped the boys off at the gold course then figured I could fit in a quickie.
The park was deserted which was handy and I made a fairly quick find despite the tricky camo.

Dropped by today to check on the cache and let the kids run wild. Can confirm the cache and hide are still in good condition and just waiting to be found.
Finally we found this tricky one. Needed a second look and a clue.

We are not having much luck this morning; after being muggled out twice this one was definitely a DNF. We spent quite some time in the dragon's lair, not so pleasant searching in the damp, but we spotted a gorgeous little resting place, but sadly it looked like the birdie had flown the coop. You are too clever for us!
Logbook has been replaced and hopefully seekers actually shut the lid properly which will ensure the logbook stays dry.
**# 22511** Found on our 2018 mega trip to NSW, QLD, NT, SA, Vic and beyond. 
A fine warm Spring day for a trip around Mildura with honeysucker.
Many muggles around today and mostly good quick finds.
Thanks for the cache ww2_nut,

A very quiet park in a very quiet area of Mildura.
We entered the dragon's lair and eventually found this cache.
Our last for the day.
Thanks.

We found ourselves on the wrong side of the fence to start with but eventually found where we were supposed to be! Took a while to find this extremely well hidden cache - great idea for the camo. Logbook was damp but writable.

Took the kids to one of our fav parks for rock hunting and to find this awesome cache!! TfTC!! Left 2 cool swaps 
I have upped the difficulty on this as there have been a few DNF's. The cache is there. You just need to get down low
GREAT hide had us looking for a while. No Dragons here today just a couple of old Geo scrubbers out and about getting a couple of caches. Left a TB and this one gets a Fav from us.TFTC
Found with Kelligula and Geopuppy. Tricky find, getting too old to crawl around on my hands and knees. TFTC
We are a bit rusty so this took longer than it should. We got distracted by a Vic rock which we have left with the cache. With the light fading and geo-dog pointing us in the right direction we found this one just as the light was starting to fade. TNLN TFTC.
We entered the dragons lair with caution
Found tell tale signs of cache scraped a little and yes it was the cache
Found with Earthlight

Found the red herring before entering the undergrowth. Quickly spotted by The X-Trailers and myself. TFTC
Nice little park with people enjoying tea at the table. On no I thought but wisely it is nowhere near the play things. Nice easy find. Shame about the rubbish. People, why do we dirty our own back yard. Thanks for the cache
A couple of nice little hides from ww2_nut, looking forward to finding more of their hides
