TFTCEasy enough find, although some of the comments in the log have me wondering if it used to be differently hidden? TFTC
Don't be distracted by the buiried rubbish at ground level....That ain't it.First written log since replacement. TFTC__.-'--`-._'-O---O--'
Found it however it was not attached to the lid and was found on the floor, the paper was jammed inside, needs to be replaced. Also kinda sketchy area so be careful.
An easy find in a strange reserve. Not big or flat enough for sports, not fenced off for dogs, no playground equipment. It looks more like an undeveloped residential block than anything. Anyway, TFTC!
A few dogs and there owners in the park today but they didn't seem to mind what I was doing found the cache and it was back to the car for the next one
Find Number 6335
Mr Booo walked straight to GZ and placed his hand on the cache.
Thanks Sweetmanda for placing the cache

2nd find of the series for the day . Nice secluded park which like most parks at the moment need mowing . It was a matter of ensuring you head towards the correct spot. There it waiting . . TFTC Sweetmanda
sorry for the generic log as i am catching up on my logging duties

With the mercury expected to soar into the high 30's I made an early start of it as meandered around the burbs picking up a handful of caches along the way. Time restraints and the heat eventually forced me to call it a day about midday.
A nice easy one. Thanks

Well, didn’t see that coming! It seems the council has removed to entire structure that was supporting my cache! So I’ll have to rethink this fella.
Hint made so much sense when I arrived that I didn’t need my phone and spotted it from the car. Loving park and grabs! TFTC
Teamed up again with morty8888 for a days caching around Glen Alpine. Today's target was the CO's small parks series. We visited twenty of the twenty one caches in the series and had eighteen finds and two dnf's. We didn't attempt number 18 as we weren't sure how to access the park. I enjoyed reading the background to the naming of the parks/reserves and noted that a lot of the containers were something that I regularly see for sale at the local chemist chain for use as a pill container.
First after lunch and it was good to get our mojo back with a find. Another familiar hide.

With the weather in good form and a bunch of caches by Sweetmanda waiting to be found, Oldmorty and I headed south. With a large list of pros to visit we ended up finding all we attempted bar 2.
This was the ultimate part and grab. I parked and oldmorty grabbed. TFTC!

Found nice and easy. Kids got excited as we couldn't find the last one we looked for
Found with WaywardWoman while caching in the area. A quick find. Signed log and returned as found. TFTC
Clever. TFTC Thank you for hiding this cache. You have shown us a new place and have helped make geocaching an enjoyable activity.
We took a short stroll to this cache. It is an open reserve (in need of a mow), so we headed straight for the most obvious location and with a bit of feeling around the cache was found!
By now we were all enjoying a good walk and this cache made a brief stop on the journey. llama_boy and I headed for the right section but I was pipped at the post. Though we didn't need the hint, I've just read it and I like it.

After an enforced layoff (grumble, grumble) I finally managed to get out this afternoon for a walk around Ambarvale, looking to up my calendar day find count. Needed to pick somewhere I could get some numbers in a relatively easy walk, so this area fit the bill nicely.
Got my first seven before muggles intruded - meaning I took to *The Hademobile* until I found one more that was muggle free. Then time to head home and beat peak hour.
Was there a horse race today?
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Almost a harder retrieve than the last one, if I'm honest - but that is just me today. Had to wait out some muggles before checking an area where it was quickly spotted.
Completed signing duties and replaced.
Went to my final planned target, but was muggled out and didn't even attempt it. So back to the car and away.

Quick find thanks to a helpful hint. Very hot out and not much shade today. Thank you!
Found myself up in the Campbelltown area after a change of plans. Picked off a bunch of caches over a few hours. Lots of swooping birds out today. All caches found with decent coordinates and quality hints. TFTC
I liked the cryptic hint for this one.
All the reserves I have visited today have been large, in my opinion, and sadly deserted.
That could be lucky when searching for caches.
This cache was so much easier than the last one. Thank goodness for that!
It was an easy find for me so I signed the logsheet and made a quick detour back to Trotwood Reserve for more 'evidence'.
I've read the book mentioned in the cache description, loved it. Strangely I don't remember the name of the town which seems unusual to me being as the name of the park is very similar to my 'real name'. Maybe you don't notice these things when you are a kid.

Stopped here on my way home from visiting Littl3Vix who had told me about this cache. She said it should be a super quick park and grab here, and yep, she was right. Thanks for the smiley!

Another one ticked off in this series, nice to explore a new area.
A clever hide on this one

Driving through the area this morning to get a cache before work and I thought I'd try this one. Spotting it before the geomobile even stopped, it was nice and quick. TFTC!
