### Cache Maintenance Visit Required please.###This geocache has been brought to my attention as needing an Owner Maintenance visit, as the logs indicate that it is most likely missing, or else some other problem exists with the cache. See the [GCHQ Health Score](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=713) process.It certainly needs to be checked by the Cache Owner. The cache owner needs to:* Take action to restore the cache or address issues such as correcting the D/T rating, or the posted coordinates.* Re-enable the cache by posting an Enable log* Post an Owner Maintenance log to advise what has been done and to clear any Needs Maintenance attribute that is present. Otherwise :* Post a Note Log to request more time if necessary or provide other information. **Do not use an Owner Maintenance log for this. That is for use only **when you actually do something to repair the cache**. Alternatively:* Archive the cache and remove any remaining geo-litter from the site.In the meantime, I've temporarily disabled the cache page to await owner action by thehunnybunnys and to take it off the playing board to prevent further inconvenience to our Geocaching Community.[Please see the maintenance section of the Geocache Hiding Guidelines.](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines?expand=1#cachemaintenance)**I will check back in 30 days** to see that action has been taken by the CO.If nothing has happened, I will conclude that the cache has been abandoned, and, unfortunately, I will need to Archive this cache. *Caches archived because of lack of maintenance/abandonment will not be unarchived.*The Geocaching Community needs to have a degree of certainty that a cache is in good condition and waiting to be found, and the CO has a responsibility to maintain their caches.Please see [my profile page](https://www.geocaching.com/p/default.aspx?u=Balayang) for additional information.Thank youBalayang -GeoffCommunity Reviewer

Finding this cache takes my GC finds to 5042 and I found it at 16:40 on Saturday 27 Jul 2024FTF: NoMates: VK7HCHMuggles: noneMy EPE: Condition: GoodWeather: overcastMy favorites:Creative - Back to the future 1 by peaches (GCA5JYD)Hardest - Men in Black Holes by SG-3 (Archived)Most visited - Dragons Lair by Shagzter (GC2E33)

searched for a while and didnt find it maybe its me i come back. thank you for the cache.
 
05-Jan-24
hi thehunnybunnys - thanks for the cache.As you know, I had an unsuccessful search here back in November, truncated early due to lack of free time, and an abundance of prickles.Buoyed by my conversation with the CO back then, along with finds since, I returned again today as I has 5 minutes before my next job. Luckily a quicker find today - there seemed to be less prickles!Cheers,EPs
 
18-Dec-23
tassietan and I are out and about getting the caches for the latest souvenir.We skirted the area looking for a park, and wandered along the path to this lovely park.It took a bit of hunting before we had the cache in hand. Thanks for the cache thehunnybunnys.
 
18-Dec-23
RoadieM and I are out and about today, wending our way up the Derwent in an endeavour to find 12 caches for the latest challenge. It took a little bit of driving around to find the right access point for this park. We admired the neatness of the park and noted that there wasn't a child to be seen. I have to agree with the cache description - the weeping willow is stunning! Reminds me of a similar sized tree that was as the bottom of our road when we were kids. RoadieM made a relatively quick find considering the options and the size of the cache. The nice new log was signed and then as RoadieM was the finder, it was her job to get it back in its housing! Thanks for the cache thehunnybunnys.

Had a good long search but the cache evaded me!

WOW! This one was one of the trickier ones (this wasn’t my third, just a new account). Eliv23 and sloimes all had trouble too. A good hiding spot, wherever it is… tftc thehunnybunnys

We looked for about half an hour but we still did not find.

A very nice park and top spot for a cache. Thanks

It must have been over a year ago now since we were last here and yet not much has changed. A very quick find at GZ. TFTC thehunnybunnys!
 
13-Sep-22
First time geocaching and I couldn’t find it but I reckon it’s just my lack of skill and not having a clue what I’m looking for.
 
13-Aug-22
Easy find
 
12-Aug-22
this was a quick sign and leave. Someone has dug up some of the plants and sat them here obviously to grab later and we certainly didn't want to get the blame for that. Everything in excellent dry condition otherwise

A very cool little park.
 
we eere lucky to have a clear run at this one as the dog walker turned rigth and not left so we could find the cache in peace, added our names to the log

This Saturday we picked up Budgie at banjos Lindisfarne before we set off for the area from Risdon and North to clean up a few of the new cache in the area.

Thanks for the cache.

We chatted with a man walking his dog as we followed the path in from Childs Drive. We went left, he went right and soon disappeared. A quick find thanks.

Out for the morning with stainless steel rat and bugietas. I had afternoon commitments so we just clean up a few finds between Risdon and Brighton before I was ready to call it quits.

Awesome cache it's tiny

Really fun
 
26-Jun-22
Thanks for the cache thehunnybunnys.
Out this afternoon with RLD4963 and the two GeoGSP's. The park was deserted today so no hassle finding the cache and signing the log. Very cool today so no hanging around, time to keep going.
 
26-Jun-22
Yay. Its so fun
 
25-May-22
out and about caching on a beautiful afternoon TFTC TNLN log small and dry. found in the first place I looked. lovely play ground.
 
20-May-22
Out and about and decided to target a few caches that have appeared recently (while we wait for a car to be serviced) and this was one of them. A lovely park but totally devoid of people which was good. TFTC
 
14-May-22
One of our sons lives in the area and Mrs y'stassie often brings the family dog for a walk through this park. So, it was good to have a cache in a familiar area. Accurate coordinates led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks thehunnybunnys for the cache.
 
02-May-22
Knew this little park was here but didn’t realised what was here! We may have to return with our grandchildren, we think the grandson would live it!

A quick find using the hint.

A favourite local park of ours Smile

Hi thehunnybunnys, third little nano I found this afternoon picking up three relatively new caches in the Old Beach area. This little park is a great area for walking, bike riding and playing. Agree weeping willow is terrific! Pity the highway is so close! I used to deliver pamphlets around here so I know the letterboxes well. No muggles around today and all is good with the hide and thanks again for another cache found it smiley!
 
26-Apr-22
Found this one. Nice park.
 
26-Apr-22
Out for a little more caching today amongst other things. Great park. TFTC
 
23-Apr-22
Lots of very private neighbours staring
 
18-Apr-22
Nice, easy find. Had to wait for a while for some muggles to leave before re-hiding. TFTC!

Hello thehunnybunnys thank you for the cache

After going for a drive to get some fuel I took the long way home to find your cache.
A nice quick find.

Found on Monday, 11 April 2022 at 1630

Lovely little park.
Took a a bit longer to find than we thought, bit the hint made it easier to find.

After being away from caching for a while, and placing a couple of hides yesterday, it was good to add this local smiley. Found with PugLumps. Coordinates were a bit off, but the solid hint pointed to an obvious location and a relevantly quick find. Thanks thehunnybunnies
 
10-Apr-22
Tftc kids loved having a find close to home!
 
05-Apr-22
Grabbed this one by 'memory' which for me is a Hit and Miss affair seeing it was just that, that failed me today as i left my smartphone (my only form of a GPS unit Big Grin) at home but 'memorized' the details well enough to know where to look [:o)]

Once at GZ it was a quick find of the wee blither and i was SL at 10:30 on Tuesday 5 April 2022.
A nice, well-kept park here with lots of plantlife Wink

TFTC thehunnybunnys Smile

Out and about and thought I should grab a cache while doing other chores. This cache came up as nearby to the job I had to do so decided to have a look.

Didn’t notice until I unrolled the log that it was that new a cache so managed to claim a *ftf* as well as a find.

Tftc. It was where I first thought but didn’t spot the little thing.
