As previous finders recorded, extracting the log is the difficult part! I managed it and signed but log is nearly full and room for perhaps 3 or 4 more. I wrapped the log in a plastic strip that might prevent the paper sticking to the inside. TFTC

Such a cool spot, rule number one (hullsome)Tftc

What a gorgeous little park and with a waterfall. Was greeted by this little fellow as I walked into find the geocache. The log is too old to sign but here is a picture

log needs replacing nice hide tftc photo proof

Yes

Tftc. Log is now wet and old. Needs.replacement. Also this is not a light pole but a sewer pole.

Great location! Great hide! I really like that the tool is provided. The log might need a bit of care and maintenance. Thanks for this one!

Super easy and very cool but a blue rope kind of thing gives it away lol tftc

Been trying but just couldnt get the log out. Might as well just photolog TFTC

Great hiding spot! This was the first time I had seen a cache like this. Found it while with a friend, great fun!
Thanks for the find.

I saw the paperclip first and realised what the cache was on a second view of it.
TFTC

Thanks for a great location and a sneaky micro. For once I find it fairly easily, but couldn’t locate the paper clip
Log was a bit damp - will drop back with a remedy for that

Very tricky to get log out. TFTC

We walked past the waterfall in the park to get to GZ. A lovely spot hidden in suburbia. We found GZ easily enough. The cache was nicely hidden, it's well engineered. Extracting the log proved challenging. TFTC. The 4Rods.

I think I found the place of it but not the cache

ITS A BOLT this was by far my hardest cache ever

Nice day here used a stick to get it out! TFTC

Ace In The Hole was transferred from RABzilla to user Angusjthebull

Good. Hide tftc

Cleverly disguised and blends in well to its surroundings. Lovely little park to explore. Didn't find the paperclip but brought mine own for log retrieval. Thanks for the hide

Driving lesson took.us close. Nice hide, was first thing touched. Log required a little bit of a dig to extract, else all in good.

Thanks for a fun hide.

A really nice hide but the logsheet is all wrong for it.

What a pretty park.

TFTC.

Being in the area for a luncheon function took advantage of a break in the weather to collect a few of the newer caches in the area. Plenty of water over the water fall with all the rain today. Got to a located and suspected one sort of hide and soon located the camo. A little difficulty extracting the log but we got there. We completed the signing duties and re hid. TFTC

Seen this type of cache before. One of the days I don’t bring my caching kit and I needed it. Eventually got log out.

AHHHHH
What a cool cache! In a park that is no doubt a namesake to my geocaching name
Found the paperclip...hmm that's not it. Something was out of place though!
Tftc, definitely a FP for this!

Found it this time. SL TFTC

#528. It’s a public holiday which means it’s time for some geocaching! A quick find once the hint clicked with me. The waterfall was a nice surprise! TFTC!

Found it on my second try on a walk with geodog! TFTC

Back at it looking for great playgrounds accessible by public transport with nearby kid friendly cache. Today will hit a top location. After a ferry and bus we arrived at the fantastic Willoughby Park, boys just loved the big and small slides and trampolines. We also located four very accessible cache. At this one it was me who made the reasonable quick find. Great camo! TOTT was required to extract the log. Thankfully I didn’t have to push the double pram to far, but we did check out the waterfall. Thanks for placing this cache RABzilla #1220

Checked on the cache. It’s still there...

DNF: seems like we found the obvious hiding spot, and we found the paperclip, but couldn’t find the cache itself

Great place fast find

After a failed attempt a couple of weeks ago, I returned today and made a quick find. Thanks to the CO for promptly actioning my request for a check and making the replacement quite fun.
SL TFTC

Ready to go.

S 33° 47.952 E 151° 12.547

Coordinates changed to:

Distance from original: 208.1 feet or 63.4 meters.

In an attempt to muggle proof this cache (or at least make it more muggle resistant) I have again redesigned and relocated it. Is now more centrally located in the reserve and of a form that should not attract the attention of anyone who may choose to be unfriendly towards geocaching. Please make sure to read the notes in the description.

New cache, new location, new challenge. Hopefully muggle resistant.

This cache has again been muggled. I am disabling it while I consider my options. Unfortunately, I suspect there is an antagonistic person involved in the landcare at this park.

No luck tonight after a lengthy search

Found with geobuddy Chippyddd.

Nice hide. Found alongside my geo companion Mystic Seer. Cache and log in good condition. TFTH TFTC SL. Replaced as found ready for the next geo-adventurers.

Fun

With two recent DNFs I checked on the cache and found it to be in place and in good order. I have refined the coordinates a little though as I can see the original coordinates might have you looking in the wrong (and an apparently “obvious”) spot. Hope this helps...

The obvious structure relevant to the hint seems not to host a cache

I note the DNF and hope the cache is still around but won’t be able to check until early new year. I’ll keep an eye out and hope someone finds it in the meantime...

Couldn't find it. Probably got washed away from the rain last night.

Tftc!

Tftc! Log in perfect condition!

Cache has been replaced and slightly relocated to address the changes that make the old hiding place unsatisfactory now.

Unfortunately, the two of us searched for a while, found a few spots it could be, but it's a DNF

Hi All

Unfortunately, nature has messed up what was a great hidey hole (damn you nature!) and made it not so great. The cache is missing. Rather than replace this cache where, and as, it was I'll do a redesign and a slight change in the GZ location. Will take a little while though...stay tuned.

RAB

I found it with my grangmother

Tftc

TFTC!

Easy find

TFTC! Awesome spot

‘Twas such a lovely day, had to go caching. Did a bit of a mix of driving and walking caching today and found many a cache.

What an amazing place this is! Loved the turtles.

Too many young muggles

Wow what a beautiful park TFTC

Tftc easy cache

TFTC

Found with KU

Aced it! A hole in one.

Quick find. Aced it. Water flowing after the rain. TFTC

TFTC!

Great spot. It’s an ace in the whole.

found it! TFTC

12/7/20 tftc

Great location ️

Spent a good 10 minutes, couldn’t find it. Probably just not looking hard enough

Out and about with the grandchild. Nice find! TFTC

Arrived at the unfortunately named park and began searching every possible location and not long after made the find. Cache #1160 TFTC

An afternoon geocaching with Eagle Eyed Monkey Girl. Although the plan was to drive to Georges Head in Mosman, we never made it that far. Instead we explored the quiet and leafy area of Castlecrag and North Willoughby.
Very surprising to find a little waterfall in this area. I would not recommend swimming as it did not look too clean.
The cache was an easy find! TFTC.

A new cache is in place.

Hi All. The Ace in the Hole cache has gone missing. I intend to have a replacement in place before 2pm today. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Fourth out of seven caches today.

Found this one easily.

Hopefully nobody is allergic to peanuts.

I also checked out the cool waterfall, which was in full action because of the recent rain.

The wood around the cache is quite damp but fortunately the cache and log weren't.

Also, thanks RABzilla for replacing the cache in time for me to find, very kind of you.

Couldn’t find this one today ...lovely waterfall

No luck on this one on to the next

TFTC

3rd one. That was a good hiding spot

Pretty straight forward, thanks

Another pick up after work. Good hint, great location. The waterfall looked really nice. Thanks for the cache and bringing me to this location. TFTC!

Another nice quick find for us today TFTC

Nice quick grab today. Tftc

Left a cute little goodie in there

What a cool little spot! Plenty of water flowing here today too. Quick find and great to see new local caches...my drives were getting a bit far

Found it and hid it well again

Great one good spot.

thankyou

Clever clue thanks for the cache!

Great find it is great and still there

Just so you know you cache is not there

Hahaha I found the wrong one but I found it

It was sprinkling when I arrived but that didnt deter me from finding this one.
The camo is quite good on this cache. Im sure that many people head right by it but unless you have the clue you wouldnt bother checking out the hiding spot carefully enough to find it.
The container is in good condition and the log is dry.
Thanks.

A well placed and well visited cache. Thanks

That was a good find this is a picture

that was tricky great hide wow very nice

Great hide! Loving looking around and love the park! thanks for a good time!

I have taken to looking for pockets of caches in areas I have not yet explored. A group of six showed up in this area, so I set off this morning to get a new bunch of smilies.
And it was quite successful! I took the TB from here.
TFTC

Originally looked in the right spot but didn’t see it. Ended up walking all around the park then found it on my way out. Great little spot. The playing card was missing, but I’m assuming it was an Ace?
Thank you

Nice one
