Cache location is still completely accessible. The fences are nearby but not at GZ. However, the cache IS missing (again). One suspects muggles know about it as it was well hidden.

I’ve been asked if I’m interested in freeing up this park for a new cache - so that’s what I’ll do. Time for this series to be put to bed.
 
08-Jul-23
Time for something new in the area.

Once again. I found this one and a few others earlier this year and didn’t log it.. looks like a few others I found have gone missing. That will teach me to forget to log it.

Very busy wasn’t able to have. A good look

Looks like the railing has been replaced...

We pulled up and there was a party nearby. Wasn't to sure if we would get an opportunity to look. We loitered around for a little until Chockid7 had a chance to make the dash to scout it out and came back with cache in hand. Signed Log and replaced without being spotted by nearby muggles. TFTC

A few new publications overnight spurred us on to visit Toronto again, although this has been on our radar for ages....
Coordinates are good, out first look not so good, needed Dad to get his head *right* in and look.... TFTC!

Thanks nice one

So fun, good spot.
 
24-May-22
I scoured the park but did not find anything. After an hour I gave up my search. Either it’s been misplaced, accidentally thrown out or it’s just hidden REALLY well. I might come back later during the week to have another look.
 
21-May-22
Way point doesn't seem to be anywhere near the shelter and after checking all around, could not find it. Heading to Queensland for a week so on the way back I might try again. Hopefully I might get confirmation from someone that it is in fact still in place and not lost/stolen
 
15-Apr-22
When the sun shines its time to get outside... we are up in Newcastle visiting the brother in law and decided to paddle over to the hotel for dinner. Whilst unloading the kayaks little Mr trouble went with grandma to uncover the cache. Little Mr trouble quickly had the cache in hand.
Thanks for a pit stop
 
14-Apr-22
While visiting our son up the road we all came down here for a family afternoon on the lake. Before some headed out on the water along with little Mr and Miss trouble we located the cache and signed the log. TFTC

We are staying at Morrisett for a couple of days visiting our grand daughter then it's off to Dubbo for morefamily visits.
Always time to do a couple of caches while in the area. We did a variety of types of cache types & hides tody in some great locations.
Thankyou the_garbageman for placing this cache.

I sent the kids in to check on this one today and they couldn’t find it. I’d be shocked if it’s missing though given where it is, so in all likelihood there’s now two containers in place ha ha

This was the last cache for day, before going for a swim in the Lake, and then heading back to our camp site in the Watagans for the night.
Some acrobatics were required to get to the cache, and at the same time avoiding being noticed by nearby muggles.

Needing a pair today, and seeing there was two pair close together and recently found, I headed for this one first. Quick find with good coords, though a little weird to get to. Tftc
 
27-Dec-20
Decided to head out to hunt for this little series of caches today. Some new suburbs to explore. Started to warm up so park n grab was a good option today. Short search and had cache in hand. Successful on all the caches so super happy with the haul. Thanks for placing these caches for us to enjoy.

Plenty of muggle activity but managed to be stealth with help from a keen geokidlet. Commitment paid off for the find. TFTC.

Thought I found the perfect spot but nothing was to be found.

Really enjoyed going around the lake today and ending up here. This one took longer than expected but Sig finally spotted it and retrieved. SL TNLN TFTC shifu09 & the_garbageman
 
10-Oct-19
We came here early, then later, then much later again, until finally the park had no-one parked out front or playing inside. I figured where it had to be, but had trouble getting to a position where I could see the cache, which I always want to do before retrieving. It was logged and returned then we were off home. Thanks Garbageman for looking after this cache.

Coordinates changed from:

Distance from original: 25.4 feet or 7.7 meters.

Minor adjustment as part of maintenance to better reflect GZ coords.

Checked on this one today. Safe and sound and tucked away under cover. Stay close to the stairs!

Even did a bit of CITO to clean the area while the kids played. Honestly, there are bins provided, why leave rubbish on the ground!
 
26-Sep-19
Didn’t have the chance to have an extensive look (due to muggles) but it must also be a bit off gps coordinates
 
25-Sep-19
Threw the bike on the train to grab some caches on the western sideof the lake. Co ords were out a bit but read logs and found it. TFTC
