pwags: I can confirm that this one is gone. It's had a good life, so let's archive it and free up this park for someone else to hide a new cache.

Geocache Description:

A natural parkland area in the suburbs is the setting for pwags' 5th cache. Long-time cachers may have visited this park back in 2001/2, when "Dingo's Christmas Bone" was placed nearby, but unfortunately muggled, and subsequently archived.

Napier Park

This 9.5 acre parkland area was donated to the City of Essendon in 1920 by Theodore Napier, on the condition that it "be held free of buildings, devoted to the people as a picnic grounds, and all trees on the land be protected." The park was once part of the 100 acre 'Magdala' Estate created by his father, Thomas, in 1845. Today, visitors are able to appreciate natural bushland difficult to find elsewhere in suburban Melbourne.

The cache

The cache is a small 200ml sistema clip-lock container, camoflaged to match its surroundings. Initial contents include a log book, stash note, some small swaps, and a pencil. Please ensure that the camoflage is replaced to prevent this cache ending up like its predecessor in 2002!
