TFTC!!! Someone left the notepad out the ziplock bag so its bit damp and soggy. Might wanna get a new notepad/put in instructions on top saying to put it back in the ziplock. Fun swing too!!!
Went out with a friend we sorta found it there was just a giant pile of sticks and both me and my friend were not willing to dig it up the swing was fun though.
I felt sorry for that lone little swing! Popped by on my way through this morning, found cache and signed log whilst sitting on a log. Such a pretty suburb - always admire the beautiful homes and gardens.
I had decided to try to find some caches on the Upper North Shore after finding myself with some extra time on the shortest day of the year. After walking down from Warrawee Station, I found myself in a small park lodged between properties. Despite my attempts at stealth, the many dead branches and twigs on the ground on approach to GZ foiled all my attempts and produced the loudest crackles heard by man. Once arriving at GZ, I was pleasantly surprised to find the cache nice and dry despite its wet surroundings. TFTC!
Took a little bit but is in an easy spot (I over thought it) great little park but was a bit wet when I went
Crazy good spot, loved it, was my first cache found and enjoyed every bit of it
Good walk through the alley ways, was a few muggles walked by, so definitely felt exposed for such a secluded space.
A great effort with the camouflage nearly missed it. Found it with Chucktanoy

Another awesome find with curlyjow. Nice walk through the alleyways. Was a fairly easy, but fun and exciting find. Well blended into its surroundings
The most creepy thing here is the SIZE of those homes...
The hidden park itself is a bit on the Dark Side
Didn't need the gps, the hint was enough.

Nice and creepy, good walk and nice secret park. Thanks for placing and maintaining this for our pleasure.
Fortuitously parked in Myall Ave to hurry to see Mahratta House and gardens just around the corner, before the open house event finished at 4pm. Delighted to see a cache nearby - a great arvo combining architecture and geocaching! TFTC
After enjoying a nice breakfast catch up with friends, I decided to take advantage of our early start to the day, pack a picnic lunch and choose somewhere different for GGCoconut, HJCoconut and I to explore today. This Northern Sydney/Hornsby area of the map is certainly unchartered territory for us, and as a result this part of our caching map is a 'sea of green'. It just feels.... so far away! But really, on this Saturday of the long weekend it was only an hours drive! Can't really complain! After enquiring with geo friends from the area, we were advised that the tracks around Bradley Reserve would entail a nice easy bushwalk - exactly what we were after on this pleasant sunny April day ️
After a relaxing few hours exploring these trails and making a few finds, we decided to treat ourselves to an ice cream before heading home. Noticing this cache not too far away, we couldn't resist stopping and grabbing it also! We made our way along the creepy alleyways until we found ourselves in a cosy little reserve, bordered by mcmansions. There seemed to be a few options, and naturally it was in the last one I checked! GGC and HJC also enjoyed a turn on the lovely rope swing at GZ! TFTC and bringing us here!

Working on getting the white days away from the grid. Today was a little rainy but it was still okay to go out. After parking the car it was a nice short walk through the creepy alleways to get to the cache which was found pretty quick.

Arrived here with goingplaces2 and after a very quick search the container was found. Added both names to the log and replaced as found. Interesting area. TFTC.
Wandered down to this little park with ilook4geo. Maybe some kids play here sometimes, going by the swing hanging from the tree. Anyway, the cache was not hard to find and the log soon had both names added to it to mark our visit. Thanks go to fdsawq's Geokid for showing us this quiet little area.

Quick find in a strange place.
Real estate values here you would think the neighbors would make better use of the place

Found this one whilst in Sydney visiting my grandma. Love when a geocache takes me somewhere I never would have known otherwise existed. Loved the park, loved the alleys, but the mansions not really to my taste. Had a leech try and hitch a ride home with me. No 2 of ? in post-hiatus cache-a-day challenge.
Looks like a private park!
Thanks fdsawq for placing Creepy Alleyways!

Hi so I was in this park for like 2 mins and found it super quickly, the only trouble I did have was finding the path into the park the navigation wasn’t too good… if you r lost use google maps
#572. A nice quick find in an interesting little park I never knew would’ve existed. TFTC!
TFTC. If it wasn't for geocaching I would never have known this secluded park was here. When Mighty Minions and I left our last cache we decided that this cache would be our last. When we went to go to the Traffic lights the queue was so long we decided to give it a miss. However, when we ended up on the Pacific Highway not far from your cache we decided to go and do your cache for the 15th find of the day.

techsavvy9 and I had a great day out caching in the area today. It was so nice to be out in the sunshine after all the rain recently. Well techsavvy and I thought we wouldn't be able to get this one at first as the traffic was bad but after having to turn around and back track we made it to a nearby parking place and walked down between the mansions , gosh who would have ever thought such a little hidden oasis was down here. A quick find at GZ for our last of the day. Thanks for the cache tnln replaced as found sl

What a lovely secret place. Had the right kind of spot but it was the third I checked. Found with MummyPenny. Thanks fdsawq's Geokid.
Nice cache in a cute hide, nature all around.
Found with Bakrak on our way southward.

Day 20, and last, of the road trip to Townsville with LuckyL10n for the mega. Today was day 7 of the drive back to Canberra.
After a night in Dungog it was time to pick off a few more counties that have been missed on previous trips. We travel through down to Raymond Terrace, then onto Sydney for a few northern counties before grabbing our last cache for the rip in Goulburn. Only a handful of caches for the day, however another couple of counties were crossed off
Many thanks to the CO's for yet another cache on the trip....

#14427 - 11:40:00 AM; Day twenty, the final day of the Townsville Mega adventure with Sol de lune. Spent last night in Dungog and heading south for home today. Only a few stops on the agenda today to add some more counties and an adventure lab. Unless indicated in the log, all caches were found in good order and logs signed L.L10n & Sdl or vice versa. I never cease to be amazed at how cachers find little out of the way spots like this one to place a cache. TFTC
Not so much creepy alleyways, more like wet and sloppy alleyways:)
Made a quick find late at night.

Took a short walk to clear my head before exams! The park was quiet and a nice place to explore on a misty morning! Made the find just before it started bucketing with rain (but didn’t escape getting drenched on my walk back).
TYFTC!!

Thanks for highlighting the issue with the cache. I visited GZ and moved the container back to its rightful home and added some additional camo. Cache on
Sadly found it opened with the contents spread around and weather damamged, still a nice stroll there and well secluded area!
Went out for a caching trip and located some of the caches nearby.

Last one of the day.
Log is wet so drained as best as possible.
This could do with some maintenance to dry it all out.

Arrived and found it just as it was getting dark. I donated my pen to the cache as I have way to many pens. TFTC!
What a random and interesting park. Would be a cool place to be in the summer. On a cold winters morning it’s freezing!
Thanks for bringing me here. Felt like I was in another land. The only problem I had was…. Which creepy lane did I come down again??

Made a quick stop here to find "treasure" with my 3-year old son. It was fun checking out the creepy alleyways that lead to this location. Found the cache with ease and picked up a trackable. There weren't any other trinkets inside, so we left one. TFTC!
Nice hiding spot in a small unused pocket of bush. Cache in great condition and contains highlight and pencil. Left Powder the Polar Bear traceable after years of disappearance. Cache on!
We would never have come to this spot if it wasn't for caching! Good fun find thank you!!

Geocaching is certainly taking me to strange places. A little hidden parcel of land, would be a great thing to have a property that backs onto a little reserve like this.
Wandered in on our way back to the station. Made the find with out too much trouble while my daughter played on the swing.

Stopped on the way home with new pup who wanted to eat the log! All swaps gone, with the excitement of getting puppy I forgot the swap bag so couldn’t add. What a little oasis of calm, TFTC
