Out about with echidna44 for a great day of caching. Checked this one out but could not find anything. PAF to confirm location. Emailed CO ...we have permission to log this one as it seems to have gone. Thanks cherryslice88

Searched here all around. Confirmed cache was missing. Logged with very kind permission of CO. Thanks Cherryslice88

When we came here we had a good hard look but came up empty handed. Thanks so much for allowing us to log this one Cherryslice88 ??

Since it's become a hot gathering spot for children complete with platforms for"cubby house" this cache has to be archived even though it has only recently been put up. Because to move it to a different location would completely require a different poem especially as the isn't another convenient oak tree nearby and without that essential landmark would cause the poem to become senseless.
So long good friend. Time to say adieu for good.

Me thinks it's muggled. AGAIN!

Out for the day with xambo4u, we thought we would have a look at this cache even though there was a DNF on it. We searched for a long time, then used a PAF to a previous finder to confirm our thoughts. We are pretty sure it has gone awol. I will keep a watch on it.
 
20-Jul-23
Came here to avenge a different DNF and left with one anew! We believe we know where it should be hidden, and suspect it is yet another cache been muggled. Will return.

We found this cache today on our Sunday Midday Ramble. We found the original version of this cache back in 2018 and the follow up version today. Our 9th cache find in this park, 7 of which have been by Cherryslice88. Thanks from D & H B-A

Decided to grab a cache on the way to my disinters. Luckily it was located quickly and we made a hasty retreat to the warmth of the car. It gets dark early these days and is so so cold.

Found by Omegaman1971
Out and about in the area for work and had a few moments to search for this one.
After inspection the nearby structure I soon had the cache logged.
Cheers for the cache

This took a little longer to find than it should have. Lyn eventually spotted it after I had been distracted. A soccer game underway nearby but hopefully nobody noticed us skulking about. Thanks to Cherryslice88 for the cache.

Found on a lovely day for caching.
Plenty of activity but everyone is preoccupied, so no issues.
We liked the poem,it nice and child friendly.

Suscoe headed out early today for our homeward bound leg of this three day trip to Melbourne.
We were up very early this morning and were greeted by some fog and chilly temperatures. As the day progressed we had delightful sunshine and the temperature even warmed up enough to be in short sleeves in the afternoon.
What a day!!!!!

Thanks to Cherryslice88 for this hide, we were glad we approach it from the correct starting point and very quickly made the find.

I read the poem and read previous logs before arriving at GZ, trying to derive clues, but the cache was found speedily without needing any hints. There was a soccer game in progress but no one paid any attention to me at all. This is a pretty spot.

We were aiming to find our 8000th today but needed another 5 before the big one, but we also needed the weather to play nice!! We had chosen a group of caches but then quiet1_au pointed out one was a tree climb so we had to cross that one off and fond another one, so although this was in the wrong direction, it was the closest unfound traditional that wasn’t a tree climb, so off we tottled. Arriving near GZ there was a match on but everyone was I tested in that and not us. After some wandering around we located the hide. I had briefly read the poem, but now on reading it again, I realise I missed the clue which indicated where to look for the hide. After this we headed on our way but sadly the weather got the better of us to make the milestone today, never mind!

This was the first of a triple treat CherrySlice88 day of caches. Had a drop off close to this cache which had been n published recently. I had 2 others to find after this one.
All quite at the grounds here. Found the HAForest at the back and at Gz I was tempted to check the view. A wet day so not such a good idea. After a few minutes the hide was found. I thought I glimpsed Christopher Robin in his raincoat on the other side of the creek - and was that a furry friend with him ? …

Thanks for the cache Cherryslice88.

If I were a bear,
And a big bear too,
I shouldn't much care
If it froze or snew;
I shouldn't much mind
If it snowed or friz--
I'd be all fur-lined
With a coat like his!

For i'd have fur boots and a brown fur wrap,
And brown fur knickers and a big fur cap.
I'd have a fur muffle-ruff to cover my jaws.
And brown fur mittens on my big brown paws.
With a big brown furry-down up to my head,
I'd sleep all the winter in a big fur bed.

A quick hunt after work hoping to beat the dark and avoid muggles to get the Blue Switch souvenir, spotted something and phew that was it. TFTC Smile

Heading out for an early dinner while there was still light and we stopped by here and decided to not climb up into the tree house which was a wise move.
After waiting for a dog muggle to pass we had a quick look and soon after we were signing the log.
Thanks Cherryslice88 for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

Found after a short search. A bit tricky, I didn't get a lot from the preamble.
It's in excellent condition.
What a fantastic sporting facility this is.
Thanks Cherryslice88, for giving back to the game.

Saw this come up not to far away from me, five or so days earlier we had actually been here for an orienteering event. Quickly made my way to the GZ, and given Cherryslice88's great ability at accurate coordinates I started my search, multiple times thinking about the platform above. I widened my search area to look all around the area and whilst climbing the hill I espied what I should have seen at first. Log signed and replaced. TFTC Cherryslice88.
