Still looking into alternatives for this hide.
 
15-Aug-24
We need to rethink this hide as it has been muggled a few times.
 
18-Jun-24
Found this one but it was totally destroyed- we thought it was rubbish to begin with! Have notified CO. Lovely park but lots of traffic wizzing by.

Completely destroyed. Have sent a message.

We are currently travelling and should be back in the next few weeks to maintain the cache.

For replacement.

Found what I think is the remains of this cache at GZ. Have msgd CO as it needs a bit of maintenance. TFTC. Nice little park that I had no idea was here, great to read about this history too. Thanks for bringing us here.

After trying a few different strategies to locate the cache, I found it!! Now the problem is trying to retrieve the container, which I couldnt seem to do when I visited this cache.It was getting dark as I was visiting the cache, and a muggle had come to park in the car park. I mean, I know I was being just as (if not more) suspicious poking around the park at night, but a muggle sitting there after dark? Nah, Ill be back another day Great hiding spot, I shall endeavour to be back - hopefully with a tool with can help me get to it.

Quick find with a very accurate hint and coords. The Woodbury Inn looks very appealing, thanks SB

14-Apr-23
A great place for a cache! TFTC.

Found with TRAAMO and MrAndMrsSmith87
 
04-Apr-23
Fun to find but we think the hint should be different. It’s certainly ‘in’ but not ‘up’
 
26-Feb-23
Found it good find
 
17-Feb-23
Awesome little hide, the hint definitely helped. Had to sit and ponder before I realized I was right there.
 
23-Nov-22
I was reluctant to check the possible hiding spots, but I did eventually find the tiny cache. TFTC!
 
12-Nov-22
Front camera is definitely best friend

Very sneaky and very scary.
Need small hands for this one.
Fun find.
 
03-Sep-22
I was beginning to doubt my hunting skills but was soon rewarded
 
30-Jul-22
Such a clever little sneaky find!
Thanks for bringing us to this little park of history
 
11-Jul-22
Found it! Very cool spot. Beautiful park too.
 
05-Jun-22
Found it a while back. TFTC.
 
21-Apr-22
We've often driven past this little park without realising that this little bit of history was here. An interesting read, looked like a nice building, it's a shame it wasn't maintained to this day.

Our cache hunt was off to a rocky start as we soon discovered that a lot of the grassy area is quite wet and boggy, but we soon made our way to GZ. After reading the historical information we set off hunting. Took a while to find, mostly because no one wanted to risk their hands.
Eventually we had the container and the log was found.

Thanks for the Cache, and for introducing is to this bit of history.
 
08-Feb-22
TFTC. Took a bit to get. Hint was a great help. I found the information about the inn very interesting. Met some people with dogs and we had a long conversation. No wonder I love geocaching. It gets you out, discovering new places and talking and learning. Now to go home.

Great spot, we think the great, great…. grandfather of our friend so a bonus find!

Off to Treetops now. TFTC
 
02-Dec-21
Third times a charm! Found the cache but couldn’t retrieve it on the 2nd visit. But got it this time! Tricky hide and trickier to retrieve. Just had to evict the spiders first then needed a TOTT
 
16-Oct-21
Was searching for a while and the qr code pointed somewhere else but it finally clicked what the hint meant! Front camera was our best friend as we are not so keen on SPIDERS.
found with hailstorm and big Tom!
 
11-Oct-21
Now that we are coming out of lockdown this cache is now available to find.
Thank you for your patience and to all of you who have been vaccinated.

To help stop the spread of COVID-19, the NSW Government has ordered everybody to STAY AT HOME unless you are: shopping for essentials, receiving medical care, exercising or travelling to work or education.
While some people would regard geocaching as a form of exercise, we feel that this activity is NON-ESSENTIAL, perhaps involving unnecessary travel and therefore should not be undertaken during this time of crisis.
Who knows how long this current lockdown will last! Right now, every one of us has an important part to play in helping to keep our families, friends and the wider community safe in the fight against the spread of COVID-19, by STAYING HOME. Unfortunately, the situation is not improving and there have been an increase in the number of finds on our caches.
As a result of the health authority’s directive, we have decided to disable this cache and respectfully request that you do not seek out and claim a find whilst this cache is disabled. If you do log a find it WILL be DELETED.
Thank you for your cooperation. We look forward to bringing our caches back into play after the restrictions are lifter.
Regards
Shifter Brains

Took some fiddling to get it out TFTC
 
13-Apr-21
Found it!
My car has a dodgy battery and it died again this morning (it's getting serviced this week!), so what better way to charge it than to drive around caching!

I left the car idling near GZ and began my search. Meanwhile, my dog enjoyed barking at the tree and rolling in the long grass
Soon enough, after utilising a TOTT, I had located the cache, the next trick was to retrieve it! A bit of fiddling around, and I soon had CIH!

TFTC!

A day out together with Eagle Eyed Monkey Girl. First go to Treetops for some ziplines and then on to Sommersby Falls for the Adventure Lab cache and the Mystery.

As we came closer to Treetops, we noticed the two black alpaca's right opposite the cache. Eagle Eyed Monkey Girl popped out the car and admired the cute alpaca's. Next we crossed the road where we started the search for the cache. Not reading the cache page properly we started off with looking at the trees. We did not see a cache there, but did see hundreds of cicada skeletons stuck against the trees.
Some further searching for non-tree objects then soon revealed the cache!

Today I headed up to the Wyong racecourse for the annual Central Coast Amateur (HAM) Radio Field Day. And after a fun filled day of HAM radio activities it was now time to head back to Sydney, but I couldn’t resist grabbing a few caches before leaving the Wyong area. This was the 1st of 7 finds, and 1 DNF, for the afternoon.

I had planned to have a go at this one after last year's Field Day, but when I arrived at the park I found that GZ was occupied by a family of picnicing muggles, so I just drove on by. But today the site was deserted, so I headed over to GZ and made a reasonably quick find in the most obvious place, but it was a bit sneaky in it's hide method. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found.

I then spent a short time looking at the old Inn site and all of it's many information & dedication plaques, which was quite interesting. TFTC Shifter Brains.

Phew that was tricky. Gonna need to sit down for a minute after finding this one. Nice hide. I looked there about 5 times before I eventually found it lol.

TFTC. Quick find this morning. Lovely little rest area. Enjoyed the history.
 
12-Jan-20
After grabbing a sad face last time and the cache back I’d get rid of that sad face once and for all! Only 1 muggle sitting in their car, but the tree obscured their vision so I could hunt much easier.

Took a little while to find but once I found another little *magnetic* hidey hole it was process of elimination and was found.

Thanks again for another cache Shifters!

Will have to come back later with more time for a proper search.
