Child's Play Concord, New South Wales, Australia
By CabramattaMortdale on 23-Sep-19. Waypoint GC8DZQ1

The cache and the hiding spot both disappeared with the replacement of the playground equipment. I'll have to think about how and where to hide a new one.

Playground open now. Whole playground equipment renovated so guessing it’s gone. Would love to know if anyone finds it still. Positive note, it’s a beautiful playground though!

Construction fence still here

Construction on playground fencing the whole thing off so can’t find it at the moment! Hopefully it survives the construction

Nice raining day so no muggles around. Great hiding spot.

Found!

Easy, no muggles at this coup

Myself and the Musketeers think a muggle has found it. Looked everywhere and still couldn't find it

super quick and easy find!

On the way to work this morning stopped to look by light of a pen torch. Took longer to find than it should have

With cache in hand we signed the log and replaced as found. Both the cache and log are in good condition. Thanks for bringing me to the area and thanks for placing the cache CabramattaMortdale

The following TBs visited for the distance - Hawkesbury Tiger, 2011- 2020 NSW geocoins, Area 51 Tag, Cache In Trash Out Geocoin, Cache In Trash Out Tag, CITO Micro Geocoin, dirty Black Juke, Four Elements Geocoin, Mary Hyde's compass, Optical Illusion Geocoin, Spindoc Bob Memorial Geocoin, Trackable Building Brick, Wales Flag, Wheel of Caching Geocoin

CabramattaMortdale I found your cache Child's Play on 27/3/21, 3:05 pm. This is my find 3021 and find # 7 today. A quick and easy find. No muggles around. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN

Old playground but found
Spotto, hit

A rainy day meant this playground was empty, which made this a nice quick find.

TFTC

Very nice. Well hidden. Child friendly

A quick and easy find early this morning, unfortunately I was too big for the ride so I settled on just finding the cache.

Cache and log in good condition.

Tftc

Luckily no one around! TFTC

*chicken speech* TFTC

Found it with the love of my life xo

Choice to go Chrissie shopping with my brother and sister-in-law or take nephew off their hands and go caching. T-rex and I agreed the latter was the winner as he creeps closer to his first major milestone. Quick grab with enough time for a bit of play.

Getting close to my first major milestone, traded Chrissie shopping for a cache run and lesson with Aunty mizmaz. After passing a few playgrounds, finally mizmaz gave me some time to play while she signed the log.

Easy

Hard to kneel on the hot woodchips, but the cache was found not long after. TFTC.

Did this cache before work on a local building site. Nice hint, easy find. Did the legals and replaced as found. TFTCM
Cheers dkmacca

Nice clue, easy find. Kids play area next to nice big dog park so bring your pooch if you have one for this find. We signed in pink pen as according to both gremkinkids pink is the best colour

Nice clue, great cache, watch out for muggles

Awww my first find so cute. I didn't bring a pen but it was still satisfying to see others logs.

Easy find

TFTC

Luckily there were no little muggles nearby. I always hate doing playground caches

Easy Fine with Cards Quest. TFTC

Found it with satisfied_error. Quick easy find with no muggles in the playground. TFTC.

No kids so it was child’s play. Thanx

Quick find and no little muggles around. TFTC

I’ve had some recent DNF’s with caches in playground due to them being muggled and going missing. This one is well hidden and here to stay! TFTC!

Found it. Tftc

found it

Quick find. Clever clue. It really helped that we had a toddler to serve as decoy.

Quick find

Coordinates were extremely accurate.

Very good find

Tftc

Fun little cache. The tractor is fun too

TFTC! )

Found the egg

Quick find with Deep_99 to keep the streak going. the rain and the dark kept the kids away. SL #4509 on streak day #2894 TFTC

Quick Find with Ris768 even in the dark and rain thanks for placing & maintaining this cache

Streak Day 1254

It was really a child's play to find this cache, especially since there were no children playing at GZ.

#5293- Third cache in the area after a 55 day slump due to the virus. Luckily because of the drizzling rain, there were no kids in the playground and I could grab the cache easily and quickly. Thanks

A sneaky post midnight find.
Great hint.
Tftc.

The egg found

Quick park and grab
Thanks for the cache

Streak Day #2415 - Out with Dave8153 to find our cache for the day, thankfully not too many people around for a quick find. TFTC

Found today with Snoopy1976, a quick find without to many muggles around. Thanks

Thanks to CabramattaMortdale for placing and maintaining this cache.

Child’s play... and so it was! GZed had a ball playing here tonight. It’s a shame we couldn’t stay longer but a yawning toddler means it’s time for bed! TFTC!

Well it was seriously raining this afternoon and I had to decide if it really was suitable caching weather. When I arrived, I could see my goal (based on the hint) from the car and decided that with an umbrella I’d be able to make it. Easy find, kept everything dry under the umbrella, but I think the slide was working towards being a waterfall.

Thanks to the nice hint it was a quick park and grab in the park. TFTC

A trip to Concord with Ms Atalanta to find caches in the area. It went well with a number found today. A well hidden cache.
TFTC

9pm at night is the perfect time. Found 23/01 @ 21:45 #917

Very cool spot

Not a muggle in sight at 9:50am, great, a quick find.

Good find

A Friday post- work, smoky-air geocaching walk. Muggle free at GZ. Mrs Gaztek thought it was a small horse but Mr G recognised it for what it was and soon raided the nest. Very cute. SL TFTC Cheers... Gaztek

Today we headed over to Concord, taking advantage of the cheap Sunday $2.80 per head capped Opal Card fares, to have a look at some new & old caches around the suburb. Utilised Bus/Metro/Train on the way over, and Train/Ferry/Bus on the way back home. This was the 5th of 8 finds for the day.

Next was this one at the playground in Henley Park, which thankfully was deserted when we arrived. Quickly uncovered the hide and had CIH. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found.

On the ground at GZ we found some worksheets that were all about Geocaching (what is a geocache, types of geocache, what to do at a geocache site, what is CITO, etc) which appeared to have been from the Scouts, so one of them must have dropped it while searching for this cache. We stuck it in the playground's fence at the gate, just in case they come back looking for it.

Geoson#2 then had a quick go on the swings before we headed off to our next cache target. TFTC CabramattaMortdale.

Find #3786

Easy

Out for a few caches and decided to grab some of the new ones in Concord. Parked close to my first target and walked to the other two.

Found all without any trouble. Yay!
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Quick find in a deserted park - first place I checked.

Took it to a bench to complete signing duties, then back for the replace, and back to *The Hademobile*. And back home!

All quiet here this morning! I think all the kids are at home on their devices!! Tftc

After dropping off the muggle missus and my mother at ANZ Stadium for the Edinburgh Military Tattoo tonight, I killed some time collecting a few caches in this part of the world before I headed off to dinner.

I'm not a fan of caches in kid's playgrounds but at tdinner time, the place was bare so into the fenced area I headed in search the cache. And, thanks to accurate coords, I was able to make a quick find.

Thanks for the smiley CabramattaMortdale.

Another new cache in the area thank you I liked the hint

Thanks for the catch

Thanks for the cache.

Nice spot love the clue. TFTC

Quick find ... Nice park

Cute little park, found pretty quickly TFTC

Had a play while we were here tftc

Quick and easy one. Didn’t understand the clue until I got to GZ and it all made sense.

Well this morning I was leading a birdwatching walk in Sydney Olympic Park but no one turned up - what's wrong with everyone, its only rain, just a bit heavy I will admit.
After waiting 45 minutes just in case anyone showed, and spotting 15 species from the car I did a bit of a walk around Lake Belvedere then headed over here for some caching. You can do that in the rain.

The good thing about the rain was it kept muggles away from the playground. I used the hint to speed things up and keep me out of the rain - clever hint, made me smile.

TFTC # 3586

Tftc. A quick find today and thankfully no kids in the park.

Very well done ,and a nice magnet! TFTC

A neat cache found in the course of a gentle stroll around Concord / North Strathfield.

Thank you, CabramattaMortdale

At first go, there were kids playing and parent nearby, so I wrote this one off for the day. Pity you can't keep a spare child in the boot of the car for these awkward occasions. Upon meeting Team Canary up the road at Carlton Place, he said he had the perfect thing...a dog! A few minutes later, we had the cache and went our separate ways. TFTC

A quick find now the kids have moved.

TFTC.

When I first arrived at the park there was a muggle grandma with her grandson enjoying g the facilities.

I took a walk up to Carlton Place hoping that they would be fine when I got back. ....not quite, but she was packing the prank and didn’t take long to leave.

A super quick here

Joint 2TF with GeodudeAu and Brewmaker. Finding the cache may have been childs play, but you certainly have to be fast to beat some FTF hounds. TFTC CabramattaMortdale

Published

Certainly was child's play, FTF @ 3:14pm and with the hint ciphered, walked straight up to where I expected and CIH, thanks CabramattaMortdale

You gotta be quick to beat some hounds. Not my favourite hiding place. Luckily no child playing this arvo. TFTC

More to come
