Been here a few years ago to find this one. Came back again and same result... Boo
As others have reported this is behind a 6ft high fence and the area is being renovated. There is no way to access this cache.
Agree with other people could not find this as the whole area is under renovation behind 6ft high wire mesh and barb wire. Might have to look at archiving this one for the moment.
Epic fail! You pwned us n00bs... The cache is now behind 6ft of razor wire and double locked gates. I can't see anyone ever getting to this cache again.
Needs maintenance

Had a very good look for this one, but no luck. Shame, because it's a great location. Several reports of the coordinates being out...maybe they should be amended.
The coordinates took us to the wrong location but found it eventually. Nice location and interesting garden. Log book is very full
Our first find! GPS Co-ordinates were slightly out but we found it.

Relogging this under individual account, previously a member of Gaz'n'Kab account.
A fairly quick find today as we scrambled up the hill Co-ords were a little off, however they were jumping around a bit.

Found it No. 4295 .... garden area needs a bit of maintenance ... took a while ... TNLN ... TFTC Capt. Toddy
Warning: watch out for needles here. We found a sharps container that we handed to some nearby workers and they confirmed that they have been having problems here with sharps and children letting off fireworks. Beside this, it was a lovely walk to GZ. SL TFTC
We enjoyed the walk to the cache. Found it easily when we arrived. It is good to see areas like this that retain the natural environment and not the lawn and hedges of a formal garden. TFTC.
Certainly where the hint says... found at night in the rain with blackdux. Log is full Thx
Probably parked at the wrong spot for this one but made a beeline as best we could. A young couple were exploring each others mouths deeply at GZ, so the view was more voyeristic than anything. A quick find, but perhaps a bit of cache creep as it more alongside than under the rock. A nice park. Thanks CAPT Teddy.
4709. [font=Century Gothic][green]Amazing what you can get away with right under the nose of young lovers. Well, of course that's meant figuratively rather than literally. And MR Winglen extracted the cache from where I had dismissed .

Staying at Dubbo for two nights...Mr Bushies2 attempted this one last June but he couldn't hunt it because of the young muggles near GZ then today finally no muggles around he found it. Thanks Capt Toddy.
To get there we climbed through two fences and didn't find the path until we were nearly at the cache. Suggest the owner puts parking co-ords in the description to assist those of us from out of town. SL. TFTC
Found it after sorting out confusion from a nightshift, needing a new logsheet.
I didnt find any of the trackables there

#1456 Found heading southbound from Toowoomba to Albury. A nice area although I don't think we approached it from the right direction initially. Luckily we soon found the well formed walking tracks - enjoyed the trek up. TNLNSL Thanks for the cache & placement Capt. Toddy
Found and logged at 16:10, One of many I hope to pick up on my trip to Toowoomba
Found while in Dubbo for the night

Found this one with geo family. Log isn't in good condition and is full, didn't have any paper on us.
Went to drop off geocoin but like previous logs cache is to small to fit anything so it just had a visit..size of cache should be changed.

This cache is only a micro in size with no room for swaps and the two TB's that are listed in here definitely aren't around. Found on our Wagga to Dubbo caching tour. Thanks for placing this cache to break up our journey.
Prenant Stigglepot didn't fancy a hill climb after two full days walking around the zoo, so she sent Eatmorchikin up for this one. He found it quite quickly. TFTC....Eatmorchikin & Stigglepot, Brisbane
Thought we gave the area a very thorough search but obviously not thoroughly enough . Not sure where else we could have looked that matched the hint but dnf's are part of the game, although a much despised part! Lovely area though.
A nice piece of bushland for a wander.
The spinkler at the top was doing its work and did get me but it was such a hot day it didn't matter. TFTC!

TFTC, Found with Hinco, once we found the path in, avery hidden out of the way place.
tftc capt. toddy and thanks for briging us here for the view doing a few quick ones on our visit to the fair city of Dubbo . done with Hinklenator
After visiting the other garden near by. Decided to take the opportunity to find this as it was within 300m.
After a short walk and many stairs, cache was in hand, no sign of the travel bugs though.

Found with Vince just as the light was failing on this glorious Halloween evening. Thanks for the cache.
We enjoyed walking around this area - what a great idea to do such plantings.
thanks
thanks
Reperio at 1225. What a nice spot this was to drop past and visit. Made my way up from the nearby road, and after a quick search the cache was found in the obvious spot.
Nice place.
Gratias.

it was raining but we still found it on our way to broken hill...Easy cache .. nice spot
Found today before the rains arrived. I have to agree with WanderingAus re the container size as it is now a micro and yes the owner needs to log on and remove the needs maintenance symbol. Thanks for showing me this area.
Found at 1625. What an amazing hidden garden Thanks for bringing us here Capt. Toddy.
WanderingAus wandered by on day 97 of our annual Climatic Refugee trip, and made an extremely quick and easy GAFF 0 find. The tree planting has definitely worked, there is now no view to be seen at all - I thought the owner was being sarcastic until I saw how old the cache was.
The Herd - Gordon (ref = TBVJA8) and Delorme Challenge Geocoin (ref = TB1M00G) obviously went missing with the original container, and need to be transferred to a graveyard. Also the cache listing needs to be updated to reflect the MICRO size, and an "Owner Maintenance" log posted to clear the "Needs Maintenance" attribute.
My find No 2898, TNLNSL.
*Recommended* *Overall Experience: 2*

A good little area for a stroll.
The information signs are good reading if you are wandering around the bushland areas of central NSW like me
With the best view taken in I looked in a likely cache hiding place and found it quickly.
No need to leave the trails and go rampaging through the gardens here [^]

Ah, a quick find that woulc usually taker a while without the clue! The geoteen found this one easily.
Didn't find it in same spot as previous logs, the mulch was very noticeably disturbed and i added to the mess off it to no avail. Where i did find it was a better spot, evidence less noticeable to muggles. Had driven past this place heaps, never knew what it was or that it was for public access. TFTC, my 30th find.
When Alchemy2 and myself arrived there, noticed the cache was sitting on the ground after logged it and put it back to hide.. luck no one take it.. Found it TFTC
Easy find, but I must admit that this would be a challange without the previous logs..
Found the second time looking!! We looked in the right spot the first time for this one but we did not DIG DOWN far enough under the mulch!! It was right there under our noses. Forgot to bring a pen to the GZ so back to the car i went with cache in hand. Passed a MUGGLE as i was leaving and made sure i was very stealthy returning it to its hide. Good to cross this one off the list though.... TFTC SL
Was a beautiful spot although scrapping through all the bushes wasn;t so much fun... couldn;t really enjoy the nature untill my curiosity of where the cache was laid was satisfied. Was good fun and coordinants where spot on. Not sure who planted it before me but was burried next to the pole on the west facing side about 25cm deep.... glad i wore joggers otherwise would have gotten mulch all through my shoes kicking away the top layer of soil. Was quite a lucky find i geuss.
TFTC was great coordinants

Woke up bright and early to tackle this one this morning. I had no trouble finding it after reading Green Gecko's log, but without that you would be in trouble! Got sprung by a bloke taking photos but I think I managed to return the cache OK. The title of this cache is a misnomer as there is no view here any more, since the trees grew up.
[Sorry, we are just catching up on logging our finds after returning home from the OZ Wagga Wagga Event. This cache is still there - it is now a film cannister] beside post[, as outlined in the log from the Green Geckos (I think).]
Like others I should have looked at the Logs pre search.
Found GZ but no cache. This cahce has been muggled on
previous occasions so I supose it has been muggled again [:(!]
Thanks for the walk anyway.

After 6 DNFs in a row, we didn't even try for this one, but I think it's fair to say it probably needs a check up
Found on our way home from attending the OZ Mega Wagga Wagga Event. TFTC Capt. Toddy
I should have read the logs before attempting this cache. Add my name to the list of DNF's
This is the second time with no luck myself and the geokids have tried to find this one.
I was expecting a prolonged search but was very pleased to pick this one up very quickly. In fact I walked straight up to it. TFTC
One of several caches found with Captain Tomato on our return trip from Brisbane to Canberra. TFTC
CT made the find without having to search - cool.

spent about an hour searching - the GPS in my N95 isn't the best. lucky i could look at a satellite photo on it, and eventually figured it out from that. nice work.
Spent over an hour and did not find it. Looked under every rock big and small and got very freindly with some of the bushes. Nice spot though, worth a look. Hope the cache is still there and intact, I will have another crack in July next time where are travelling through Dubbo.
Found by Mary & David at 1600. A marvellous place and a great idea to showcase the area. The birds were enjoying this cool green oasis. Our thanks to Capt. Toddy.
