GPS said we were near but no luck today

Took the dog for a short walk. Rain started just as I found this one. The log book is wet so I couldn't sign it. TFTC Very Happy

I had previously found a couple of other caches in this particular park and have no idea why I didn't know that this one was here. The search took time but I eventually found it, cache log was saturated and I didn't have anything small enough to replace it, so it needs some attention. As I couldn't sign it I took a photo of it.
 
10-Jul-18
Found this one, bit soggy to sign and clue doesn’t seem to apply anymore not exactly a mystery park anymore:)
 
15-Jul-17
we looped around this cache but in the end it was in the first place we looked. Quite a nice park. TFTC
 
quick find while out caching with GooseandEgg and tazscout
 
24-Jan-17
A nice little park. Just about to give up as gps wouldn't pinpoint a spot so thought where would I hide it, and there it was. Will use in the Summer Scavenger Series games as needed a find on a cache hidden in 2008. TFTC
 
02-Jun-16
This was our first visit to this reserve and we really enjoyed walking in it. The cache was found but the log was in two pieces and so wet that it could not be signed. We left the old wet log sheets but have added a new temp. log sheet in a new plastic bag. TFTC
 
17-Feb-16
Quick easy find, interesting old path that looks like used to run up the middle of the park.
Log is soggy and needs replacing

Have been here before for a few GC cachers...but not today...it's all about the GCA ones. Took a few minutes to locate this one, but all was good. Log is a little wet and could be replaced.

Thanks yet again RobTas....
 
13-Oct-15
Out on a full days caching run. Managed to fit this one in.

Only had to dodge lawn mowing muggles.

19-Jul-15
Could not see the significance of the clue, but Mrs G found it
 
22-Jun-15
Took me three visits before I found this one. Was encouraged to try again when I saw someone else had found it. A new log is needed and I certainly did not take the swap that was in the cache!!
 
22-Jun-15
finely got this one but the log book is very wet and needs replacing. good hide though
 
22-Jun-15
Finally got to tick this one off today, has been a thorn in my side.
 
27-Dec-14
Took me 2 goes but I ignored the blue and explored a bit more widely to find this well concealed cache. Took the log over to a warm rock to try to dry it out a bit b4 I could write on it. TFTC
 
28-Nov-14
Rather damp and log is falling to pieces, I struggle with red and blue?.. thanks ..!!
 
05-Nov-14
A quick find and a lovely setting, the was a bit wet but other than that all was well. Tftc.
 
08-Sep-14
More of a known park for us as we've been caching here before. I think with passage of time paint has simply worn off both hiding object & container as you couldn't call this a "cammo cylinder" any longer, but it's still well hidden.
 
22-Jun-14
Had tried this one before with no luck but others have found it since so decided to give it another go. Made a relatively easy find today but agree with other logs that the hint is a bit misleading. Had to dodge a few doggy walking muggles but think we've perfected the art of lurking! TFTC
 
15-Feb-14
An interesting little park.
My GPSr initially had me under a tree, and after walking in circles for a while, I found the hide easy enough to spot.
As others have mentioned, no blue paint, so perhaps the hint could be changed?
Thanks.
 
22-Jan-14
GA113 - 20:00; I had just logged a couple of GC caches and saw this one wasn't far. Made my way to GZ only to find that the hint didn't seem to be of much use. Let the geosenses kick in and voila, the cache was in hand. Managed to sign the damp log before heading off in search of more caches. TFTC ROBTAS Surprised
 
07-Jan-14
Found after widening my search area. Log sheet a bit soggy but still managed to sign. TFTC
 
12-Jun-12
Found without too much difficulty. Didn't see any blue paint anywhere though. Lovely little park I didn't know was there. Clapping
 
11-Jun-12
A nice stroll through another lovely park that I didn't know existed. TNLNSL. Thanks for organising the cache.
 
10-May-12
Never been through here since it has been redeveloped. Turned from a bog hole into a nice walk. TFTC
 
08-May-12
Nice cache in a great park. Found cache without seeing the paint. TNLNSL, TFTC
 
26-Nov-11
FOund ages ago but forgot to log! I do remember it to ages for us to find!
 
07-Nov-11
Found while finding 2 others in the park. nice little surprise jumped out from inside Smile nice simple but effective cache, and nice park
 
30-Sep-11
Thanks to the hint we were able to make a quick find. The blue paint is fading. What a top park, we love the water way and wish we had it at home. Thanks for this cache.
 
30-Mar-11
Had the place to my self so made the search a bit easyer. TFTC
 
27-Mar-11
What a nice park. Should there be water running over those rocks? Quick find with the help of the hint. TFTC
 
27-Mar-11
Found on our holiday in Tasmania from Perth, WA. We were heading out of Launceston and made this quick stop (yet another quick stop so it actually took us quite a while to leave Launceston). We of course entered the park from the wrong direction but that seems to happen quite a lot. Found the cache before we found the hint. TFTH
 
25-Mar-11
Unknown little park alright. Parked and got to gz no problem. But then gps lead me on a bit of a tour around the trees. Was searching for this mysterious colour and after widening my search I found it, and then found cache. SL and returned. My last GA cache beofre heading back to Sydney. Thanx Tassy, TFTC Clapping
 
21-Feb-11
Found after a bit of searching. The blue paint made it easy.
Lovely way to disguise and deal with water run off.
 
21-Feb-11
Located easily, after finding blue paint, from then on it was easy. Everything is dry and intact as it would seem cache was placed after landscaping was done, one side of log full so started on reverse. If the cache is a bit dog eared it will probably be because something must have felt hungry. Open carefully.
 
16-Feb-11
Found quickly. The cache is in good condition. TFTC
 
10-Oct-10
Took a little while to find but i got there eventually ! Muggle free. Rolling Eyes
 
16-Sep-10
Again I was about to leave this one after a short search

Coords were ok, but the area looks like it had been recently landscaped and I feared the cache may have gone.

There was no Blue paint in site either

Anwyay we found the cache and logged

Good hide TNLN TFTC.
 
20-Jun-10
8th cache of the day with Fox and wolf. Create little park - loved the new landscaping. (Did manage to go for a slide in the mud though - shame we didn't get it on film)
 
12-Jun-10
Got this cache at 1445hrs and enjoyed the little walk and quick find. Cheers OldSaint.
 
21-May-10
The park was certainly unknown to us. It was pleasing to see some sensitive development which is accessible to neighbouring residents. A quick find. TFTC
 
18-Apr-10
Easy find using the hint. TFTC.
 
11-Apr-10
This was a return trip after an earleir DNF when we first started. The honours got to Mrs Pigbag who located this one.
Nice park. TFTC

Another park we were not aware of!

Looks like they are about to add some more pine bark in the area, should look good!

Found after a little bit of circling. GPS was being a pain today.

Thanks for the cache!
 
15-Jan-10
going thru' the GPS and gsak noticed that we didn't log this one when we found it nice spot could do with a mow dogs loved it
TFTC SL
 
05-Jan-10
Nice park lots of dog walking muggles TFTC SL
 
27-Nov-09
Yay, our first GCA cache and quite near home as well. Bonus.
 
02-Oct-09
Took a while to find the hint but once found we quickly found the cache. TNLNSL.
 
01-Oct-09
After two DNFs elsewhere this morning it was nice to find something and get back on track. Thanks robtas! Is there anywhere that you haven't hidden a cache?
 
31-May-09
Had to have a bit of a wander around this very nice park, lots of muggle activity. GPS was off a bit the other day but it was in good form today so found this one nice and easy. TFTC
 
26-May-09
Found after I finished work nearby. Just before I left work, I was surprised to the learn that the person I had been working with not only knew about caching, but had found and even hidden a couple! Some weeks it feels like a very small world indeed.
 
02-May-09
Not much camouflage left on container which is now quite red. Blue paint clue was very helpful. After a couple of DNF it was a welcome relief to be back on track with this one.
 
great little spot thank you for hideig cache here
 
05-Apr-09
nice easy find ftc
 
03-Jan-09
Had a bit of problem locating park access spot. It's in need of a little TLC - cache found easily. Thanks for the hunt, robtas.
 
02-Jan-09
#9 of 14 caches found today.
Sat coverage a bit erratic, but the clue made this an easy find.
TNLNSL
Thanks ROBTAS.
 
25-Dec-08
Found this one when I still went by the name of Mrs Cheesy Pig. Relogging as Greenish.
 
25-Dec-08
Looks like it's another cache that GabMil and the CP's just missed each other at! Nice little park, and fun find. Thanks!!!
 
25-Dec-08
Found this one after xmas lunch at mums just around the corner. Had been going to hide a cache in here until I realised that this cache was actually in here!! Kids enjoyed the walk on a pleasant day.
 
02-Dec-08
Been past this spot heaps of times and never noticed the park. It is a narrow stretch of road so never let the eyes wander until today. Took a bit of finding the correct hiding place as I am blind and did not see the hint until located. Thanks Robtas
 
30-Nov-08
All the times i have gone past there i never new it was there.
Thanks for this cache

Never been here before but have now.
Thanks robtas
 
02-Nov-08
Didn't know about this park before but do now.
Thanks robtas for the cache
 
26-Sep-08
Found after a short search. Camo needs fixing - looks like the bugs like the paint!
TNLN.
 
16-Sep-08
Very nice area here, and Snuva and I found it easily.

Thanks for the cache.
 
16-Sep-08
As we were driving to this one I saw a huge, orange moon rising over a hillside and said 'Look, the orange!'. So I might have been I bit out of it from travelling, but MullinItOvr knew what I meant! Cache was found easily by torchlight.

Thank you for the hide.
 
03-Sep-08
One of three GCA caches completed on a quiet afternoon. I managed to set off a lot of dog barking near the fence but had the area around gz to myself. Nice easy one. Thanks Robtas.
 
02-Aug-08
Finally got around to doing this one,
Pleasant afternoon for a walk in the sunshine,
Looks like quite a few people walk their pooches down through here,
And going on the size of the Nugget on Mrs 5C3 runner their not all small,
That will teach her for not watching where she is going,
Cheers ROBTAS
 
13-Jul-08
our first day geocaching, 3rd find and we are hooked, kids had a great time looking for this
 
23-Jun-08
Another park/walkway that you'd normally pass by without noticing.Easy peasy...TFTC Robtas..Cheers.
 
08-Jun-08
Had a couple of hours to spare today so decided to go and have a search for a couple of caches. Went for this one first before heading down the West Tamar in the search of a couple of others. Found this one without much trouble although I did us the ‘hint’. Nice spot I never knew was here although I have driven past here many times.
Thanks RT for another cache placement in my ‘neck of the woods’.
TNLNSL Surprised)
 
06-Jun-08
Nice little tucked away park in the middle of surburbia.
Almost overlooked the cache as it is so well cammoed.
Thanks Robtas.
