TFTC,Took the wrong track and had to bush Bash.Building my LGA finds, visited trackables.
Took the wrong trail, had to bush bash found, stamped log and replaced. Thanks to CO
With dot558 making this the third and completing this months challengeThanks for the caches and bringing us here
The path to this cache is sooo much better than the one on the other side of the river. I did go down the wrong path for a bit, but it led me to some fantastic parrots. I think they were lorikeets, but they look a little big. The cache is in okay condition, but it appears wet inside and may need a new baggie and some time in the sun.
A short walk past a previous cache we had found that we said hello to before making our way to GZ. Didn't expect to see a makeshift 'hut' here. We spent some time admiring the construction. Then, the cache was found easily, switched some swaps and covered up a bit as it was too exposed.
Thanks Mister Doctor for adopting and maintaining this cache.

Came to find this golden oldies GPS spot on the nearby hut had me fascinated, but I thought better than to go in.
Was in the area picking up some Mister Doctor caches and this oldie was on the way past. I came in from an odd direction which made the search a little harder than it should have. Eventually the simple hide was found after going back to basics.
Found it! Well I followed one path but had to retrace my steps and follow another. Getting closer to GZ, I found I needed to weave between some undergrowth to arrive where I needed to be. Once there the cache was a quick find. And of course I found the easier way in but took the more adventurous path to the next cache. I very nice walk in the dark. TFTC SL
With this month's challenge based on favorites, Mister Doctor caches were bound to be a happy hunting ground.
A chill, misty morning saw me here quite early, with only one muggle dog walker nearby.
A quick find in a reserve I've never visited, even though we lived not far away for about five years.
A nice quick find of this simple but effective hide.

ConnieandRick thought it was hiding in a pizza box but I spotted the real hiding spot. Lovely park.
A nice 1 am caching session led heybuddha and I to this cache. Filling in part of my dt stats. I expect this area would be lovely during the day .

I'm sure I took the long way in to find this cache, I just backtracked the same way I came in, but there is surely a quicker way. TFTC.
I always appreciate finding older caches, even if without the original logbook. So I’m glad to have found this one.
Happy to report that the cache is in good condition and the log (although a bit damp) is still perfectly functional.

Me and traccas_b Followed a few forest paths to get to gz and where met with tens of thousands of mosquitoes! And seagull_lad (me) is a massive mosquito magnet. (Ouch) we tried not to stall while finding this, it was really well camoed, tftc!
Found while out for a walk with our grandson. It's a great way to get kids out of the house for a bit of exercise. Thanks
I was completely drained from energy after work today and originally was only going to get out and grab one cache to keep my streak alive. However, after finding "The Spy's Guidebook - Choosing a Drop (p6)" (GC9V7YZ). I was a little revitalised and decided to go after just one more.
Well this was that one more and I am glad it was. It was just what I needed, a little bit of a longer walk, a taste of nature without being too hard of a walk. I did unfortunately come straight from work so the work shoes didn't appreciate the muddier conditions around GZ, but I still really enjoyed it.
The cache was quickly found once I arrived at GZ. Then the logbook was signed and I was on my way. Thanks again for bringing me to this park and TFTC.
Cache Maintenance Statue:
The cache container was in great shape and the logbook was clean and dry. There was still plenty of room for future cache finders to sign.

Got a bit lost on the tracks and wasn't sure which angle was best to locate the cache. Eventually found GZ and had cache soon after. Thanks Mister Doctor.
The muggle boyfriend and I had wandered around here with his housemate a week or two ago in the dark. We struggled to get the GPS to settle and all the areas we looked yielded no results... so we figured we'd come back in daylight or with better light sources. With the recent find and assurance that it was there by the CO my boyfriend and I stopped past here tonight, once again with only our phone lights, but this time in two seconds I was calling out "found it!". Why was that so hard last time?! Anyway, I'm glad it was here to keep my streak alive and be find 300 in a row 
Thanks for the cache!
Thanks for the cache!
Found no probs, yep it's one of those one you need to look a bit harder, but can confirm it's there. Water has got into the container but the log is safe in its snap tight plastic bag. Signed log and placed back as found. Put something else on it to help stop moisture getting in.

Just checking in and cache is there and waiting to be found!
It‘s a standard location, just a bit better hidden than usual

After one half of teamjusar attempted to find this on his own (to no avail) I insisted I should try. I was assured it was missing and could not be found. Alas, after only a few minutes of searching the cache was found and in hand! Tftc
Last time I was here this cache was missing. Today was the day to pay a return visit. Success!
Dropped by on a beautiful summer’s evening with the geohounds.
Cache in good condition and waiting to be found.
Good luck!

The smell of a particular tree is strong here - it’s beautiful! Lovely hidden away track (at least for a non-local).
Yes log book missing, and found cache out in open not hidden away. Maybe the recent strong rains flushed it out of hiding spot? Placed away in hidey-spot.
Will send photos.
Thanks for the cache on this lovely kid-free-summery day!

A quick last find for the day which has taken me to this park which I have never been to before. TFTC
Didn't have a pen so couldn't sign the log book, but cleaned off the family of slugs
Checking in after a low cache health score. All is as it should be at GZ and cache is waiting to be found
Good luck!
Good luck!
After initially getting confused by the gps. Me and geo-accomplice checked the activity and came to the conclusion not to cross the creek and try find one of the entrances. After running into a friend and having a chat we located the correct path and gz. After looking for a while we could not find. Gps was buggy and the exact whereabouts of gz could not be determined. After searching for 20 mins, decided to move on because we had a lot more caches we wanted to find. Will come back to find sometime as it’s fairly local!
Clearly I am out of practice as it took a hint from co and a return visit to allow me to add my name to the log. This is good as I don’t like blue faces.
A quick run with the dog and Sami after school revealed another great park and another great hide from Mister Doctor. We were the first to sign the new log book and we left our usual swap item. Thanks again for the cache.
I had a good rummage around and read previous logs to help me locate this one. Unfortunately, like others before me, I came away empty handed.
We looked around for a while but there is a parks regeneration sign which restricted our search zone. It wasn't the easy find that others have mentioned for us.
Thanks anyway davroy.

Nice hiding spot we went over the the creek bc we did not know where the path was was fun
You sure can get to this cache from a few different directions and coming up from the creek is apparently not one! I followed a little trail and came to a regeneration protection fence... too late now the sign was on the other side to say keep out! Oh well it was a quick grab on the other side and hopefully will find another way back. Thanks for the cache
After coming in from an unusual direction we are appreciating the initiative and creativity of the local kids for making DIY bike jumps. We don't see this as much closer to home. A quick easy find for geogirl who runs ahead to find them all these days.
Quick find ‘cos it was partly exposed. Possibly nudged around by animal life?
Left it in a more covered state.
