Still blocked off....There is signage indicating a completion date of 'late 2024'....
We had hoped to find this one today but alas it wasnt to be. After searching all over the one cannon I could access I realised that it must be at the other fenced in one. Thanks anyway lee737
Wow! After I worked out what the hint meant it dawned on me where the cache was! Glad it was a quiet windy day otherwise I could imagine the nearby playground would make getting this cache pretty much impossible
I walk past this spot all the time and now I'll think about this cache every time I'm walking past. TFTC
Went for a late night stroll to check this one out. Very fun and unique!! TFTC
Out with the Eagle-eyed and intrepid Goldberry17 to get this one. Beautiful park. Used to play tennis at the nearby courts. TFTC
Found with the bravery of 2pods - what teamwork- one balanced while two held on. Lots of muggles around today which actually made it a bit easier as we blended in with the play. TFTC!
Found it with 999hunter and huntress. While hunter was looking for the cache, i came up to him and asked if there was a hint, after getting given the hint, i suggested where the cache may have been and it was there. Hunter then received the cache, we signed it and then took some photos on the cannons. TFTC
Lunch of Day 3 of our Christmas to New Year 2023 holidays. What to do with the family and the Mother In Law who can barely walk? Visit old stomping grounds to relive old memories and go Tree Climbing. We stopped here after lunch and just started playing on the cannons. We have been here a number of times and have photos of the kids at different sizes climbing on then. After our climbing and taking photos, we were sitting on the cannons when I mentioned the hint, and 999HK said it would mean there, and that was when I saw the cache, exactly where 999HK said. She couldn't reach it, but I could being taller. Well played.Thanks for the cache, Team737.HunterPS. Huntress said she would log a favourite point, but I'm not sure if a non-premium geocacher can, so I'll drop one off for her.
OCW EverestHigh. Quite fun to retrieve the cache. Worth an FP for the location of historical interest and clever placement. 
TFTC lee737!
TFTC lee737! the best hiding spot yet!! had to get a friend to log this one for me hahaha
I've been a few times to ground zero here.Not that I didn't find it, I spied it on the first outing so instead will use the write note option. First and second time, muggles outwaited me. This time round I came, wimped out then came back and still called it. shows how often I walk away from a cache i can see.This time everything was wet, raining and blowing a gale. The thought and distinct possibility of coming a cropper is sadly too high. I'd already be on tippy toes arms fully extended. Yeah nah. And I've climbed some pretty knarly trees for caches. This time round the d/t doesn't tip the safety balance scale enough to warrant a go.
When I arrived at GZ, there was a family encamped right on top of the north gun, with an older woman sitting on a walking frame, a couple of younger men having a good long natter and two toddlers enjoying climbing all over the gun. So I decided to check out the park's other facilities and, just when I was about to give up, they started showing signs of moving off. Even then, it was another ten minutes of almost-moving before they finally departed and I was able to get close enough to spot the cache. Hmm.I started climbing but, with my wonky sense of balance and a strengthening wind that was becoming increasingly gusty, I baulked at standing tip-toe atop Queen Victoria as I was unsure I could complete the task without topping off and coming to a grisly end on the pavers far below. So for now I'll leave this on hold, but maybe sometime in the future on a calmer day I'll try again. Or maybe someday there'll be an event in the park and I'll be able to call upon a taller and better balanced friend (Mr Knexpert perhaps?) to help out.Thanks anyway for bringing me to this nice park.
Loved this one. Went for a quick cache hunt with the fam after a few pints of Guinness down the road. It was raining after a massive storm rolled through newy. We Needed the naturally gifted teen to help with this one. TFTC. Sorry couldnt sigh the log however I have pic evidence if required.
This would of been my 2nd find for the day, this Sunday dedicated to Madrabbitoh "cacheing up". I can see it, but dont know how i am going to get it. Need some scaffold im thinking.
TFTC and a very sneaky hide. I was out geocaching with Deni-f yesterday. We arrived at the park searched everywhere and scratched our heads with the hint. Then Deni- f spotted the hint. We then both spotted the cache at the same time.Thank goodness I was with Deni-f . Ran into the Garbageman clan while we were there.
Find#1677Out today with Techsavvy9 finding some caches. This was not in the place that I thought it would be. Glad I am tallThis is the forty-fourth cache working towards fulfilling the challenge cache from across the ditch, in New Zealand, One thousand points of Light Challenge. 942 out of 1 000 points. TFTC
It seems every cache we go to this arvo has other cachers at it! This time it was TS and DF! A tricky reach but we got there. TNLN TFTC
Found this cache with Justontime. It's easy to see but a little harder to retrieve though. We managed in the end. D rating could go up a notch,especially for little people. TFTC TEAM737.
Found with shaneo58.A bit awkward especially with so many people around.Managed to grab.TFTC Team737
Mr minion and I were having a day out caching today. we got a park nearby and walked over and started searching not seeing anything at first until I went a little higher and spotted the hint item and then the cache but there was no way I would have gotten this today without mr Minion's help. very sneaky and fun, Thanks for the cache Tean737 tnln replaced as found sl
FTF!!!
Saw the cache pop up and headed over to Hamilton to try and get the FTF. Wasn't long before I was joined by Grub Fred and we both had a search. After figuring out the hint, GF spotted the cache. Being taller and younger, I retrieved it and we both signed the log, making for a great joint FTF. TFTF!!! #2163

Find No: 9161. Arrived to find Mr Knexpert lurking around, we finally found Queen Victoria and spotted the beast, went back to the car for some retrieval equipment but didn't need it thanks to MK, we reckon you should up the ante on the terrain rating, good team effort for joint #FTF#, thanks for the cache Team737!!
