Pirates Rest Area Talbingo, New South Wales, Australia

Sorry people this cache has been reeplaced over 5 times. Each time being stolen so no longer available.

Just couldn't find it with the hint. Must be muggled.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

A second DNF here for me. Again I stood on the tables and using a mirror looked for a hidden nano. Still no luck. The hint says to me it's above the table. If it doesn't, I am misunderstanding it.

After having had lunch at the sports club nearby, we headed over to try to find this cache. Looked everywhere logical, and maybe in a few places not so logical. Tried to understand the hint. But alas, no luck today so we headed on south towards Koncaban.

Only a few magpies sheltering from the wet here today and looking hopeful that they could share a picnic, no luck for them but I found what I was looking for.

Thanks. Great find. Beautiful location..

Found on the way to thredbo with geokid took nothing left cat sticker

In the Mountains for the June Long Weekend with Juno.

We got here right on dinner time it seems. There were hordes of people streaming into the Pub (the only place open as I found out) for some kind of fancy dress party. Eventually I got sick of having a 10 second search between people passing, so gave this one up for next time.

Decided to join the masses and head over the road for a feed.

Cheers

New container and new log ready to find again

Nope, couldnt find this one.

Had 3x Geocachers looking and 5 other muggles in our group. The 8 of us searched for 15 min and even with the clues we could not find the cache. I think its gone.

Looked for a long time

We looked and couldn't find it.

Had a bit of a look, but it was too small for my eyes to see. Couldn't conduct an extensive search due to the presence of nearby muggle kids in the park.
Beautiful spot. Hope to return one day, so maybe I'll have more luck next time.
I did find the munzee at the same location, though.

Thankyou for the cache the ewoks ☺ ☺ ☺ nice fun hide

DNF. Mapped to coordinates but still no luck. May have to wait until next time we pass this way. TFTC

Searched high and low and could not find it. Plenty of places where something was tapped out of site, but no cache.
Given it was found only a week ago, it's beaten me

After reading the last person's was a DNF I had to find it

Beat us. Next time.

found with help from geo grnd kids tfth sl tnln Cheers 4 Now

Found it

Stopped for lunch but couldn't get it due to muggles. So went to find other caches and then came back for a quick find.

Found with justjessie on our way to Tumut

Always s nice park to visit and we had it to ourselves today .
Quick find in a place of many choices.
Many thanks to ozpirate.

New container and moved location to make it a bit easier to get to.

DNF. I stood on both tables in turn and using a mirror checked the rafters for (I presume) a nano. I couldn’t see one. I also gave a quick search under the tables without success.

No luck for us today

No luck here for us today, ran out of time.

Took a while, but got there in the end. Luckily no one was about, I expect due to cold and rainy weather.

Maybe needs review of where it should be? (See previous log that wasn't up when we looked)
Maybe just a check on it will suffice.

This one took a while to find…why because it was on the ground. The geo-daughter found the little micro in the dirt. We signed the log and placed it back to were we think it should be based on the GPS signal. The kids had a long play in the park too. TFTC

OMG So small.

looking low when we should have looked high. Found it with Dopplefrog

Out on a camping trip with the Jmanjezza clan.

Nice shady spot on a hot day. Didn't see any pirates, but did, eventually, find the cache!

Stinking hot day so we geo-pirates enjoyed stopping here for rest in the shade after stretching ourselves to make the find

Nice quick find. A great spot to have some lunch and take in beautiful Talbingo. TFTC

Definately a nice place to stop for awhile had us really looking, but then had a giggle when we realised

Tftcsl, cheers RIGBYinc!

The school is so much smaller than when I remember, the oval is smaller and the light towers puny, my child hood memory is that they were tall towers that we used 20c to keep illuminated for an hour of soccer training. And the cache is smaller than I thought feasible. A tiny cache that we found afte giving up the search and casually glancing up during our lunch break. Hangon that small thing couldn't be the cache could it? A wonderful trip down memory lane, I haven't been to this park for over twenty years. The kids enjoyed the playground and the break from exploring the local area. Thanks Ozpirates for the welcome rest.

Clever micro

3:30pm spotted but still needed to "reach for the stars".

Out with The Green Geckos from Qld. This one was right out of my reach but luckily one of us was tall enough. This is a lovely village with good facilities. Thanks for the (almost unobtainable) cache.

Out caching with The Doggles today. Luckily I am really tall for a girl but only just managed this one! Poor old Mum had no chance. TFTH

Snowy's June 2013. Despite being a public holiday, I was able to get breakfast before heading over here. Wow, that was just on the edge of what I could mange unaided. I did look at many many other spots before seeing it. Thanks.

This is definitely a nano, for future lookers.

Nice and easy when you know what to look for, no one about probably due to the rain.

Thanks ozpirate for yet another.

Took us about 20 min for us to find it. But we are new at this being our second. Fairly obvious once you find it.

But I am too short! Lovely spot no Dave/Steve bothering me.

On our way to Jindabyne today after a stay at Tumut, and this is our first for the day.

Our first one in Talbingo! A quick find but I couldn't sign the log as I had no pen. I can explain an aspect of the cache to you if that is necessary. TFTC ozpirate!

Mid morning and here I was sitting on a picinic table looking at a very obvious micro cache just a few feet away
But I had muggle problems to contend with
A local muggle was bouncing the basketball through the hoop nearby, but would not stop glancing over at me for some reason.
Very frustrating !!
While I sat and fiddled with the GPS and phone researching nearby caches, another muggle came into view.
Oh dear !!
A muggle with intent
"Dave", g'day Dave, marched right up to me and told me his tale of woe.
Even here in Talbingo you cannot get away from the shysters after money
You can recognise him by his camo gear and fishing hat
At least Dave was polite [^]
His story of having no job, no money and camping down by the creek just did not ring true.
Well at least he seems to know everyone in towne and with the nearby basketball muggle distracted by Dave challenging him to a game I could quickly grab the cache and rehide it
Why the basketball muggle said "Hi Steve" when they met was odd !!
TFTC Dave !!

Nice area.
To owner: This is not a "Micro" but standard nano container. Can you please correct the cache size parameter to "Other" so it displays correctly in statistics if those who find it, thanks.

Found with Kyeexploring and TeamOwers after a morning at the playground. Thumbs up to Kyeexploring for being tall enough to reach it!

This has been a busy spot today 4 other logs before ours. Needed a tall person today thankfully we had one. Tftc

Found with sstorm and team Owers... Lucky im not short like sstorm!!
Here at park for a pop up playgroup!! Thanks pirate!!

So tiny! But we finally found it.
Thanks for the cache.

Found on our Talbingo trip with Wasptor & Fraggle_rock. Thanks for the cache.

Day 4; cache 4! I grew up here as a kid and every time I come here it always feel like coming home. I remember how this park use to be and how much it has changed, it was great taking my kids here and telling them all about this beautiful town!

Easy find this morning, TFTC

'2013 - Day 4' Our first cache in Talbingo for a while. Great to be back in the area to visit friends. We've been here with the kids for a play years ago, and was nice to be back for a cache. Thanks for bringing us back here!

Found it!
Nice easy find with the help of the hint.

Thanks,

FTF took longer to sign the log than it did to find it, until we realised the trick to it. SL - TFTC
