Minifig Ant: After having it muggled twice and replaced twice, I decided to let this one go and give someone else a chance to put a cache here. Thanks to everyone who visited!

Part of the Gaps series - a moderately difficult find.

It's getting hard to find spots to plant caches around inner Canberra, but there are still a few gaps. This a cache in a series planned to fill those gaps - small, relatively easy finds, placed wherever I see a gap to showcase the gem locations that otherwise go unnoticed in this beautiful city.

==The Area==
From Wikipedia;
"Corroboree Park is in Ainslie, ACT, Canberra, Australia. It is shaped like a semicircle, and is associated with the Aboriginal use of the area prior to European settlement in Canberra. The park was created around 1925 around what is known as the 'Corroboree Tree' located in the park. It is in a heritage registered area, and is also a registered heritage park.

Ainslie Community Hall, which is located in Corroboree Park, is socially significant as one of the early meeting places in Canberra. The wooden hall was erected in 1927 and the adjoining 1920s school building was relocated to its current location from Russell. A fire-damaged part of the hall in 2000 and the school hall has had many internal upgrades including a commercial kitchen. The hall is often used for social gatherings, meetings and classes such as yoga and dance.

The three courts for the Ainslie Tennis Club (established in 1927) were built using voluntary labour. The tennis club planted many of the trees in the park.

One asphalt-surfaced basketball court is located in the park, as are a small cricket pitch, and a children's playground."

The park is a lovely place to come and sit in summer and eat lunch or get the kids to play. In winter it's less inviting, but remains a quiet oasis near the busy city.

==The Cache==
The cache is a camouflaged plastic fruit container. It holds small to medium-sized objects.

PLEASE MAKE SURE THE CACHE IS WELL HIDDEN when returning it to its hiding spot. It's a busy park and I'd hate for it to go missing again!
