A Binnak Park and Grab Watsonia North, Victoria, Australia
By bunadoorian on 18-Oct-19. Waypoint GC8F17J

Due to works on the Binnak Park Oval and especially the hide for this cache I have been forced to archive this cache. After the works are complete I may be able to put a new cache in the area.

Sadly after recent works this hide has become compromised. I will have to achieve this cache and possibly replace it after the works have been completed. Happy and healthy Geocaching.

Tftc - found on the ground but we re-hid it in the same area but not sure if we hid it in the original spot

Took us a little while! Thankyou

Nice easy find soon retrieved signed and then had to wait for muggles to pass to return well maintained cache tftc

Found

Easy find, all in good order. Thanks

Positioned where I thought after the phone GPS settled down. On a busy Sunday morning at the park, timing was more important than anything else.

The cache is just like I imagined after looking at the description, TFTC, adds another one to the list!️

we found it! put something in there!

Creative spot and a great sunny day for a walk! Hope everyone’s staying safe!

Rainy day. Tftc

TFTC! another great hide by Bunadoorian. Was out getting my hours exercise (with a mask on) when I remembered as I rode past that there is a cache here. Despite covid I just couldn't resist getting a smiley knowing it could be a little while until i get the opportunity again. not sure it counts as exercise if stopped for 90 seconds to sign a cache but anyway. The cache itself is well hidden and easy to find for a cacher with even the slightest experience. TFTC!

Nice little cache on in beautiful park we'd not discovered before. Thank you for sharing it with us!

Nice easy find for the kids thank you

Quixk park and capture the Munzee while we got the cache Thankyou

Second find during my pre-lockdown bike ride, and a nice, obvious one.

Great to see Binnak Park getting so many visitors on this sunny winter afternoon.

Thanks, bunadoorian

A nice quick park and grab at a park I'd never been to before. TFTC bundoorian.

With the nearby school just finished for the day, I had to engage expert stealthmode and pretend to be a parent. A quick grab and sign, then had to wait a few minutes before quickly replacing.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache, bunadoorian

A very quick and easy find on a quiet Saturday morning. Many thanks for placing this in such a lovely park.

Lots of muggles around today but we manages to access the cache without being observed. Thanks

Now that was easy

Easy

??

Thanks for your good work placing quite a few caches bunadoorian.

Found it!

Found good little hide

Nice spot D.S Cassar

Great cache.

nice little park I have never been here before thank you for bringing me here

Fun first find

Found it! Took us a little while but we got there in the end

Exceptional stealth required here as a continuous stream of people and dogs moving in and out of the area.

Found before the Covid lockdown! Tftc

Nice well kept oval.

This is another nice park I didn't know very quickly found and with coronagedon no muggles at all today TFTC

Nice easy one. Tftc

A nice breeze and a pleasant park on a sunny afternoon. Isaviv 18 03 2020

1st geocaching... was lots of fun. Thanks

Easy

Good hiding spot and a quick find here today. The main advantage of caching on such a hot day is that there was no-one around! Thank you for the hide bunadoorian.

Good hide!

Out with xambo4u, we set out early to cache in Mill Park. A lovely day with some interesting caches along the way. This was our first cache and was an easy find.
Thanks bunadoorian

Out and about with echidna44 for an other enjoyable day of caching. A nice easy park and grab. Thanks for the cache bunadoorian.

Had some business to attend to locally and dropped in to this neatly secluded park for what I hoped to be a quick find. Quite a few muggles about...especially a very suspicious old man with his dog. I circled around the hide for a few minutes before giving the GZ a good look for the typical...and there it was. As CO stated...a good introductory cache. Some really clever home crafted swag had been left by AmyGVSL the day before...very Australiana. Well done Amy. TFTC

Raph from the TMNT troupe of TBs dropped by for a visit.

#1006 Found @16:05

The extremely poor air quality had me out searching for an easy find on the way home from work at a park I have been caching at before.
The eerie smoke cover worked in my favour as I made this quick find.
Left some handmade swag and took a ladybug peg. TFTC!

Quick find on the way home from family lunch!!

A quick park n grab before picking up tea
TFTC

Nice little drive by pick up, Picked up a few like this, but this is another park
I did not know about.
Thanks bunadoorian

Was heading to get a FTf elsewhere, when I was beaten by a few minutes, so I left it as others were leaving GZ and didn’t want to look like the loser that I felt, so I drove off.
This cache was a nice find in a park I grew up next to and spent many hours playing footy cricket and just about any ball sport on this oval.

Thanks bunadoorian for A Binnak Park and Grab

Got in just before the school pickup rush this afternoon! Boy it got busy suddenly Thanks for showing me this park which I didn’t know was here.

I nice little quick find on a sunny afternoon on my way home, after a Telstra reunion at the Watsonia RSL.

Another Bunadoorian cache find. All of your finds have been lots of fun!

Out with Smiley1982 finding Bunadoorian's caches. I found this one quite easily. TFTC bunadoorian

We were so close to home after driving from St. Arnaud but the kids wanted one more cache. We stopped here for a very familar hide which the kids found straight away. I must say that the log book looked the same as many that we had filled in over the las couple of days, and even right after the CO on many occasions.

TFTC bunadoorian.

This one has special significance for me because Binnak Park was where I found my first cache.
My first go at that cache was unsuccessful but found it in a disguised piece of wood. This taught me to take a wider view when looking for caches
Binnak Park is also where my kids went to kinder many years ago and our athletics club holds a 'Binnak Bowl' run every year; 5 laps of the top part of the park (with a nice uphill run at the finish of each lap). I did win it one year but it is a handicap run and my handicap was rather generous. I am not actually an athlete but an official - I start races.
Found this cache and spent the rest of the afternoon watching a cricket match in great weather.

Find number 7665 at 4:40:44 pm
A quick find on my way home to pack the van for an early departure tomorrow morning, Mega bound!!!
A nice quick find this afternoon but had to time it to avoid the eyes of a nearby neighbour.
**Thanks for placing this cache bunadoorian**

Heading out with TrailsStevo last night, did a quick weather check on all four corners of the Melbourne Suburb's and the NW was looking favourite. On collecting Trailstevo, we commented on two newly published cache, and we were going to pass them anyway so we thought we may as well grab them. On arrival a Geo-vehicle was already there, checke dteh trackable number on the back window, it was NoWorries! So we set off for the furthest cache hoping to beat him to it but we were too late. Had a good little catch-up and continues on, bumping into Long John Silver on the way back. Then headed off back onto Plan A, the NE, where we had a mixture of finds and DNF's. A fun evening, thanks everyone.

Headed out to Plenty and surrounds with Gunks, but on the way we were passing a couple of new releases. Probably going to be too late as they were an hour or so old and that proved to be the case with noworries returning as we headed out. Found them and then bumped into LongJohn Silva as we returned. Continued on with the plan but had a mixed night. Quick find for this one. TFTC

Glad you are in our neighbourhood, bunadoorian! Thanks for another good cache for the kids!

Nice and easy
TFTC

Great find with the kids! Thank you

It's been a while since we've been caching but we decided to change that today. This was the first cache for the day, a nice and easy park and grab. We're hoping to get to 1000 by the end of the year, but that's been the goal for the last three years so I guess we'll have to wait and see. haha. TFTC.

Good hide

What a day for a bike ride and a caching trip as well. I've been through this park before and l reckon it's one one the best. Thank you bunadoorian for getting me back here but more importantly in finding your cache, left a couple of coins and grabbed a pathtag.

Nice minty fresh smell! Tftc

On my way home from donating plasma at Bundoora I had some time to spare and enjoy today's lovely warm weather. The park was deserted so after I found and signed the log I went for a walk around the oval before heading home to the housework.
Thank you bunadoorian for this local cache.

Trying out my new Garmin GPS it initially had me further away from where I thought and I was looking around quite a busy area. After rechecking the location on the phone I was soon back on track and found it in a likely spot. TFTC.

It was a beautiful afternoon so there were plenty of people around kicking footies, walking dogs, or just walking. I fitted in with the latter group, made the quick find, signed as #3, and smugly walked back to the car. Thanks bunadoorian

{FTF} at 17:43.

Had the opportunity to pick this one up on the way home from work. A slight detour but all found and all well. Log signed and a couple of pathwags left as consolation prizes. Thanks Bundoorian for the cache and the detour. Good to get a first

2nd to find . Were just beaten by a few minutes by Kangadrew .
