Lots of Parks #1 West Wyalong, New South Wales, Australia
By RedmondFamily on 14-Dec-12. Waypoint GC42X2D

I visited this cache intending to replace the log book but found it had been damaged and the cache is missing.
As my cache maintenance time is at a minimum, I have decided to archive this cache rather than replacing it.
Thank you to everyone who attempted this cache. I hope you all enjoyed doing a cache that required such a high level of stealth and bravery.

Well hidden! Need new log!

Under the cover of darkness hubby did the retrieval of this one. So pleased that there was no one around. SL TFTC

Jack be nimble Jack be quick. Getting back was harder because suddenly several cars came past. It would be surprising if the neighbours weren't aware of this one.
TFTC RedmondFamily

Found it!

Took out my cousins for a first time cache trip. Quick pick up after school and we were on our way. Tftc. With Lachstein

Last cache for the day unfortunately a DNF. Looked for ages. Thanks anyway

I was cruising around West Wyalong this morning and visiting parks, lots of parks !!
GZ was soon located, but there was a problem.
It was daylight and there were plenty of cars passing by

A short break in the traffic gave me my opportunity for a quick grab of the cache.
I signed the logbook and then had to wait a while longer for another traffic break to put the thing back
Mission accomplished.
I hope nobody in any of the nearby houses was watching

Tftc, awesome. Log needs replacing very soon. Tfth

Tricky hide without raising suspicions of muggles. Signed and returned cache safely.Tftc

Found the line but not tall enough to reach with a stick

Found with geo grandkids good night find Thanks For The Cache.

Found after dark with Geo Caching Grand Kids Lots of fun. TFTC!

TFTC. A lot easier to get out than put back. Lots of people driving and walking past, not easy to be discrete.

Travelling around Australia in our Caravan with our cat.

Making our way south to Melbourne now, it's amazing seeing all the other travellers heading north! Are we heading the wrong way

Just had to stop in West Wyalong as we made our way to Narrandera for the night.

On way to Brisbane for few days to celebrate my friend turns to 60th Birthday
Manage to get it out. Add favourite point.
Found it
Thanks RedmondFamily

On our way back to Tasmania after attending the Queensland Mega finding caches as we go and this was one of them. Mr W did the balancing act. TFTC

Another park and another cache. TFTC

On our way to QLD MEGA at Stanthorpe with DazRascal.
Needed this cache as our final one for finding a cache placed on 366 days of the year
Felt a little exposed and the adult with the shortest arms amongst us actually reached it. LOL.
A quiet little park made for a quick find here tonight.
TNLN SL. Cheers.

1st cache of the mega trip, soley picked to find because of the placement date
3 young muggles were in the park when we arrived so did a quick detour to find some amenities before coming back to an empty park to make the find.

TFTC, Cheers.

Found with taurus1955 and B/dale bandits. No inquisitive muggles today, though I am sure we were being watched from behind curtains of the nearby houses. Love the effort that went into this one, so a favourite from me. TFTC

Heading up to the Queensland Mega with Team Crackers and Micaparamedic, we stopped off and picked this one up.
Thanks for the cache,
Regards The Coffee's.

Catching up with some very late logs.
We were on our way to the QLD Mega with micaparamedic and The Coffee's picking up some of the closer caches as we went.
This was day one.
We found a variety of cache hides, some easy, some took a bit of searching. Unfortunately somewhere along the way we have misplaced our paperwork and with over 400 cache finds in two weeks we can't remember them all individually so we apologise for this generic log but we do thank each and every cache hider for their efforts.

This cache is a very sneaky one but we were lucky enough to locate it very quickly on the way to Stanthorpe for the Qld Mega. With B/dale Bandits, misschief18 and Bentley TB

Found on our road trip to the Mega in Stanthorpe This was day 2 of our travels and just had to stop and collect a few smiles on our way.This was a sneaky little hide and I being the young one was sent to do the hard bit of the find lol ,enjoyed this one great little park. Thanks RedmondFamily for the hunt.

A great days caching on a trip toward Oz Mega 2015 with many differing experiences, some where I walked right to the cache and others where I needed to hunt around a bit. As usual I have enjoyed the various challenges set by the CO's and the fact that I get to cache with friends and am outside in the great outdoors.

Many thanks RedmondFamily for placing this cache .

Cache hiding spot quickly spotted. Feeling very vulnerable, Mr TiedyeSmileys did the balancing act and soon had the cache in hand.

TFTC

Found by Mary & David at 0845. Somehow overlooked this one yesterday, so we made it our first for today, and our last for West Wyalong for this visit. Nice to have the sound of a rooster nearby. A nice quick find. Our thanks to RedmondFamily.

I saw where this one was straight away, but for me it was certainly a more difficult terrain rating. I also felt very exposed in retrieving and replacing this cache, but made it safely in the end TFTC RedmondFamily

Took us two attempts as people were in the park the first time, easy the 2nd time.

Well hubby stood on the fence and reached this cache and brought it back to the car to sign, while he was replacing it standing up on the fence muggle walked past, he didn't say anything but I wonder just what went through his mind. TFTC

Gotcha Tftc

One of 19 quick caches while passing through the area on my way to Tamworth for the week
Thanks for the cache RedmondFamily

Central Australia trip Crossing the Simpson and Innaminka, August 2014. After many years away from the Oodnadatta track and Innaminka, it was time for a another tour. This time in Company with seven cars to tackle the obstacles. Caching opportunities were a little thin, but the ones that were out here are all in great places. A sat on the corner here for awhile looking at hides that would have been really mean, but I eventually noticed what was needed and sorted this one out. Thanks.

Easy going by clue.... Balance was needed...

Left rubber took nothing.

We drove past this cache a couple of months ago on our way north. The weather was much better then and the park was quite active plus a local seemed to be wondering why a caravan was stopped outside his house so we left. This morning was bitterly cold and miserable so we had the place to ourselves which was just as well considering what is involved to retrieve the cache - a third hand would have been useful. TFTC.

[:(!] Went to Griffith via West Wyalong to visit two of my grandchildren and their parents for part of the weekend, picking up a few caches along the way and this was one of them, parked the geocar as close as possible to GZ and walked in from there, on arrival at GZ and the cache was located, it was in hand in a matter of minutes.

I like it

DNF found a cord on a tree however it was snap just above reach

Moving house from Brisbane to Tasmania. All packed and now in the car on the way south so what else to do but break the trip by caching. Day 3. Early start to clean up the caches in the town. That was high.
TFTC

Excellent hiding spot

Lovely park . Sorry I've been slack in logging it. TFTC

Easy find! Done well with what you had but fishing line is definitely a must for future hiding
Thanks for the adventure.

I am now on my way back to Brisbane after the SA MEGA and there are a few caches along to way to find.
They also serve to give me reason to stop and stretch the legs.
A town with this many caches I had to detour via a couple before continuing on. [^]
A quick find. An interesting spot. [^]
Thanks for the cache.

Timing was everything. The neighbours? Hope they weren't peeking but we really couldn't tell. There were so many elements to watch we needed eyes in the backs of our heads....but a great hide. Well done RedmondFamily.

We enjoyed this challenge.Great park and hide.
Many thanks .

Nice find was a pleasant little park

9136 caches found

quickly grabbed this one


Took: Nothing
Left: Nothing
Thanks RedmondFamily for the hunt today

3131 Found by baby&Mrs gopher at 1145. With eyes wide open we could see where as we pulled up did the retrieve and SL Tnx RedmondFamily

Our first find! Thanks Redmond family

Fishing line gone, rubber seal perrished. Tftc

Tftc found with geopartner. Nice easy find.

found it geo hubby had the balance, when we looked across the road the neighbours were at their window watching & laughing we guess they know want everyone is up to on the corner.

We have set our caravan up in the show grounds, now its time to find a few caches around town.
We are amazed at how many nice oarks there are here.
This was worth a favourite point.
Thanks RedmondFamily

Gotcha !!! TFTC Had to make 2 visits as there were muggles everywhere. A shower of rain and no one in sight next visit.

Found with O319. TFTC

Found with Justjessie on our Caching/Munzee tour to Mungo and beyond....

Last leg of our trip home from Coffs Harbour and doing a little caching on the way... Well a large tree blocked me as I got this cache from 3 oldies up the street chatting... Liked the hiding place. TFTC

I laughed and laughed at how silly I felt (and must have looked to passerbys) looking for this one

Great hide took a a fair while,not quite looking in right spot but got there,one of the best tftc

Am fit enough to get this one, but felt very conspicious. TFTC

A clever hide that does require stealth. The fishing line has been replaced with cord which makes a bit easier to find, but a quality cache that is well hidden. Thank you. Have a favourite for this one.

We did have fun retrieving and replacing this cleverly hidden cache. We needed some patience to make sure we were not being observed and that was the easy bit. TFTC RedmondFamily and challenge it was for us - much appreciated!

# 6031 Found on the way north on our 2013 winter escape trip to Qld.
No muggles around here today and another quick find.
TN LN SL. Thanks for the cache RedmondFamily,
Roostaman.

Is was Sol de Lune's turn to go up! I kept lookout! A very important job it was too! Thanks for the fun!

WOW......made the find ok, but if anyone was looking, they might be wondering what I was doing.

A neat hide that was spotted as we approached GZ.....and after the balancing act...all was good.

Thanks RedmondFamily......

This cache is back online, with sturdier additions. Hopefully it isn't too easy for muggles to find.

Please take care when retrieving cache. This might be a cache for taller people with good balance.

Thanks for being upfront about what happened, Nomads.

I will temporarily disable the listing and perform some maintenance in the coming days. I will work to make the cache extra sturdy, but please still take care when retrieving.

Oops (a four letter word, but it wasn't the one I used at the time). Well, we found it, BUT, it's now at the bottom of its hiding place. Dreadfully sorry about that, but I wasn't quite tall enough to get a straight pull on it. Thanks for the cache, and heaps of appologies for the inconvenience caused. The Nomads.

Could not see this one, but could not spend lots of time looking due to muggles

Reperio at 2030.

This was the final cache to be found tonight in West Wyalong on a short stop here, and then it was on to Griffith and Albury. Having found number 3 earlier, this one wasn't too far away from where I was, so I quickly headed over to grab it before leaving. Finding the cache was no problem...but the noise it made while getting it out was little concerning as I was close to some houses, and I was hoping to be fairly discrete This area certainly has a lot of parks!

Gratias RedmondFamily.

Finally found a muggle free park... Only to see potential muggle neighbours... Mrs Whit and GeoKeegs successfully distracted them (by getting all of their attention when singing "anything you can do" while trying to out-swing each other.Mr Whit found, signed and replaced cache. SLTNLN TFTC

Just passing through and thought I'd best test this newly maintained cache.
Yup, it's all in order, but finding the right time to grab it is indeed difficult!
Thanks for an interesting hunt, RedmondFamily!

Got back to it a bit early so this cache is back online, with a new container and log book.

This will be back online tomorrow.

Maintenance performed.

12.48pm

23rd one on the second day of our road trip to Geelong

like others we found the broken string

Visited late on the night of the 5th, under cover of darkness.
Cache needs some repairs. I will order a new container ASAP.

At the spot where can see fishing line but unable to reach cache

found fishing line and get the idea but guessing line has broke and cache is at the bottom

Sure we were in the correct spot, saw the FW, but could not feel the cache. Tftc, will try next time.

Found after a two day search - without long fingers we found this one quite hard to remove but other than that a superb spot!

great cache
the first time i went looking i couldnt get it because of muggle. So later i went back and found it
