Seesaw Williamstown Central, Victoria, Australia
By Robmc on 31-Jan-07. Waypoint GC10P17

Muggled for its last time. Something new is needed in the area.
Thanks to all the previous finders.
Robmc.

I keep ending up out here. Finally when there's no skaters I discover it's been muggled. Grrr

Unfortunately this Cache no longer exists. We found the lid today but no cache attached.

Found half the cache still attached to the see saw. It's better half is M.I.A.

Found a cat too

Had the whole area to myself today which as just as well as I looked a bit too old to be loitering around skateparks!! TFTC

Managed to find a time where there werent many muggles - definitely would recommend doing this one at odd hours as there are often many muggles about. Found with JelenaGreenleaf. Tftc!

Found with georocks101. This was actually our second visit because the first time there were too many muggles. Stealth is definitely required. Such a fun seesaw though. TFTC!

Found on our Tuesday caching adventure. First to sign the new log
TFTC

Too many muggles!!

Hard escaping the muggles

Awesome hide and hard to escape muggles

Nice hide and hard to escape the muggles

TFTC

This Afternoon I wend out with frostedsunshine to do some caches in the area.
It was a bit rainy so nobody to bee seen around us. The name doesn't make it hard so we could log this one quick before the next shower came! Thanks!

Forgot to write the log fir this one whuch Mrs Blue Duck and got after it was replaced. Quiet wet day, so no teenage muggles on skateboards etc. TFTC.

Hint go early no-one around made for easy searching. Thanks for the cache.

During my work and travel year in Australia I'm trying to solve my 365 days of caching challenge. Having a moving home zone should make this definitely way easier.

I visited this area some more times and every time I only searched for one or two cache, always having the challenge in mind. Most times I started the hunt late in the eventing, so I could get at least two boxes around midnight.

This one was found fast and easy, even without torch.

TFTC and greetings from Germany

Quick find. Tonight's caching buddies had attempted this one prior, but it had sadly been muggled. Thanks for replacing. Nicely secure cache. Tftc

Found a while back now, sorry for the delayed log.
After a previous DNF I was happy to make a discovery here tonight with dbelco & geordiefamily =D
Trying to catch up on old finds before my preferred app dies =[
Cheers and T.F.T.C!
Safe travels & hoppy caching =]

sorry for the late log.

Found this one on a night caching run with geordiefamily and frog_lady. We had been here in the past and it has been muggled. Decided to give it another go as we noticed it was back up and running at the time of the search and found it

TFTC =)

Found tonight with kmace and Team Ruphace.
Very quiet here at this time of night.[8)]
Great weather, great company and another smiley for us all.
Watched a few cars drive by as we chatted for a while, before heading back over the coat hanger.
Visited some TBs, signed the log and moved on to the next one.
Thanks for the cache Robmc and nice to meet you at last tonight.

Fifth smiley for the night of 8 possible first being the local geoevent

while working out which cache to attack next Kmace informed us about this cache and that she had attempted multiple times but had always been covered with muggles.
So n0w0rries, Kmace and us Team-Ruphace headed to the cache and with a short time frame we had the log signed and replaced in its hiding place no muggles around at all

Glad to help Kmace and thanks for the hide



Thanks for the help

Found this one tonight with n0w0rries, and Team Ruphace. Easy tonight with no muggles. Signed log.

Thanks for the cache Robmc.

We came for a look since we had stopped and youngest wanted to check out the playground. Geoson and I had a look, figured out exactly where it should be but wasn't going to happen with kids jumping over it!

With MrsBlackduck having a surprise day off work, we decided to go out and grab a few caches. I noticed this one was back up and running. We had previously tried to find this, but it was missing.

The park was deserted, which made for a quick grab!

Thank you!

After all the rain anf lightning last night the Park was finally empty!
Replaced the cache in its old position with a new logbook.
All good to do.
Thanks, Robmc.

Found nothing but a hard drive magnet =[ cool hiding spot though.
Tried to access GZ from wrong position at first but re-routed and got there in the end.
Cheers & T.FT.C anyway!
Safe travels & hoppy caching =]

1am search so nobody at all around. Free to look but still no go =[

Had a good 15 min search to no avail!

Too busy to actually find it

Good hiding!

We knew exactly where it was but too many people around to actually find it. Sunday arvo is not best time to find this one.

Very high level muggle activity even on a chilly windy day - did not attempt to retreive

Yeah

Went at night, no one around, could not find.

Nope not today

A busy day at the skate park, adds a new element of danger

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Scooter tournament

Looks like I picked the wrong time of day to venture out and get thuis cache.
Too many young people availing themselves of the skate park.
Pity...with the clue I knew exactly where to look, but that doesn't help when you have a few kids and skateboards hanging about.
Oh well, next time.

First time there were too many skaters. So went back early morning. Nice positioning!
XF n S

Cowabunga dude!

We searched every inch of that thing and nothing... Has it been muggled?

A quickie. TFTC

Found this last Friday but forgot to fill this in! I tried once before but way too many muggles, I was riding past early this time and not a person in sight!

Easy

Tried to grab this one, but too many muggles, gotta wait till another time.

Found after a short play in our bikes on the skate park. Will have to swung by in next outing to sign log as my pen carked it. TFTC

On a great sunny Thursday , and whilst Mrs One-Eyed was at her regular U3A class, headed off the this area .
I used to ride my bike form home base West Footscray to Willie and thought another visit would be the order of the day.
The cache was well designed and after a chat to some local lads , waited until they departed then thought again about the hint , found the cache.
TFTC

Found with a couple of other Ladventurers and Big-Dee.

Way too easy!! Didn't even take me two times..

Very easy find, pretty self explanatory, nice little cache

Too many mugles, even with max stealth. Returned early this morning for an easy find.

Lucky for us the skate park was empty as it was night time i enjoyed the walk after a good feed of Nando's found the cache very quickly S/L and returned it to it's hide TFTC

found at night never seen one before tftc

an easy find on a very interesting piece of kit found in the dark with no muggles around thanks Robmc for binging us here and showinf me something I have never seen B4 TFTC

A few muggles about, but the toddler/decoy paid off again.

Perfect night cache. Finally managed to find a time when there were no kids around! Took marble, left gold coin. TFTC!

Pulled up in the nearby gym carpark.

Took 10 steps towards the cache.

Decided to leave it for another time.... WAY too many kids and a highly exposed spot. Maybe if I'm ever here at night or when it's raining!

We didn't really get close to this one,

we saw the 'SEESAW" but it was far to busy around G.Z to even bother [:x]

This time I tackled it at a quiet time, waited for the one muggle to muggle off, and made the grab.
TFTC!

To many muggles on a Sunday arvo

On a cold wet Saturday decided we needed to get a few more caches done around Williamstown, this being one of them

Rain just did not want to stop, Geowife and geopug were feeling it too, sky was fifty shades of grey... so were our spirits.

GPS suffered with cloud cover and constant rain on its screen, but we soon had cache in hand. No muggles anywhere in sight.

thanks to CO for this cache, and novel hide location.

TNLNSL

Found it.

Found it with coggers77 + 1

My first one. Yahoo!

Mr Fiddlers got this one first. Nice night to be out. TFTC

There were kids in the playground - for a single male geocacher, this means Do Not Approach and obviously Did Not Find.
Some caches so close to playgrounds are often frustrating, because it means a location with "no smilie" in my logs.
DNF #8 in the Williamstown DNF series today.
(But at least I know where the magnets come from now)

Very strong magnets and surprised at the size of the cache for such a spot. Tftc

Found @ 10:30pm, find # 1978
I had been past this one before but had to keep going due to the amount of muggles about, this time there was no one in sight so I made my way to GZ and after a short search the cache was found.
Thanks to Robmc for this cache and all the caching fun.

Found with my dad on a small caching run by car through Williamstown.
Had been to this skate park a while back with some friends but had forgotten about it completely. Thought it odd when the GPS told me to veer away from the playground but all soon made sense. Took a little while to search the GZ, no muggles about the park (I assumed all the skaters were at school) but i couldn't seem to find the box, finally got the courage to "Get stuck into it" (had to prop an abject in question up with a brick) and there it was. A quick retrieval and sign whilst my dad went and got some coffees from a nearby Cafe and i was off. A daring cache in a great spot (especially for guys like me who have the day of school and my board in the car).
TYFTC

This one almost stumped me - FYI there are no muggles here at 8:30 am on a school day (glad they are not skipping school)! This is my new favourite cache - I am visiting from Canada! TFTH

this cache has been a real challenge. Having actually found the cache months ago when I first started caching, before I had learned to always carry a pen everywhere you go.
We madly searched the car looking for something but had no luck. Several subsequent visits have found the area far too crowded to retrieve the cache.
Finally, I managed to visit again on a cool summer evening, and had GZ to myself. I finally managed to sign the log, so at last, I can claim the find.
Thanks for the cache and getting me back on a skateboard, chatting to a local on a previous visit who lent me his board for a lap.

We were amazed to find the area deserted this morning as we have visited this cache site quite a few time previously without any success due to all the many muggle skaters. We came prepared to renew the cache today due to the previous geocacher's log. Fortunately we had a top that matched the bottom of the cache container and so placed in some "things", a small pencil and temporary log sheet after signing it.
TFTC Robmc and the challenge and patience needed to get the cache?

See below comment

Found the cache with the GF but it requires maintenance as only the container was there but no log or anything else

Finally muggle free. Nice easy find with no skater muggles about.
TFTC

nice simple find, nice and quite at night.
TFTC, TNLN

Easy find. Strong magnet! I can't how many times I would have passed over it through the users.

Going through my notes I realised I hadn't logged this one as found. On quick trip out to Williamstown with abl973 it was a wet which meant this time the spot was clear. Thanks for the cache.

27/11/12 Find #1603 A good place to visit while its raining...and find the cache which is in good condition and nicely hidden. Thanks Robmc.

Grabbed this one on my way to Williamstown. It was early morning so no one was around and therefore a quick and easy grab to make.

found it with dear wife. nice hide.

I have cycled past this site for months at varying times of the day and it has always been covered with skaters. My daughter always recommended go earlier as they hate getting up early but are always happy to hang around till quite late.
But I've never had the right time or inclination.
Today all the computers at work had sunk into deep meltdown, so by lunchtime I had had enough and had stormed out ( it's a long ugly story and too long to relate here).
So a therapeutic ride from the northern suburbs to Altona seemed to be in order and as I cycled past at 3pm and glanced that way ... There. Was. No. One. There.
Yay! Got it!
Thanks and cheers!

Having fun with my geobuddies, Baluke and Belleakelea, finding lots of caches. Went out when no skaters etc. so could find this easily. TFTC

Nice little hide, all in good condition. And I'm only 6 away from my 500! Woo hoo. Out with the BAB Crew trying to get there before 10:30pm. This time no scatters in sight

After some very clever detective work and some unorthodox manouvering by Atraversiamo, soon had log in hand late at night when all was quiet.

Finally
Have been past GZ numerous times on my trips to Williamstown to find the park in use.
A couple of times I've finally made it muggle free to GZ to then not find the cache
But at 10pm the park was cold and empty and it only took a couple of minutes to finally get my hand on the cache (without light) and feel triumphant. It was even bigger than I expected
With the bricks in place can one still see-saw here[?]
Logged and returned, and left satisfied (and relieved as it is a dark little park at night alone).
TNLN, TFTC Robmc

Cheers

Checked this one out on my way to a meeting, but way to many skaters to be able to grab this one.
I came back after dark on my way home and signed the log.
Thanks

Found 9:26am , find # 1546
This morning I had breakfast with my old work mates, and afterwards spent some time caching in the Williamstown and Altona area.
This was the first one.
There were a few kids skating around but no-one near me so an easy find, log and replace was undertaken.
It was a beautiful day for caching but hadn't quite warmed up at this stage.

Thanks Robmc,

Alas and alack, far too many skating muggles, mugglette's and their onlooking parents.

Time to beat a retreat - I'll be back at a more opportune time.

Found it after a few minutes of looking around. TNLN TFTC robmc!

Find # 358 logged at GZ at 9:25am, with nobody around on a bright but cool and breezy morning. Have been by many times before but finally able to nab this one without detection. T4TC!

Funny thing about skate parks is that on good days there are so many muggles. How do you fit in attempting this serious task.
Know what, kids having fun don't care.
Casually we strode in, sat down, found it, signed it as B2 had already cased the joint.
Know what, we had fun too. Thanks Robmc for raising the challenge and assisting us in training for the retrieval in high muggle ares. No such problems in country areas.

09:57
The cache was AWOL when we were here last in the drizzle, so in glorious sunshine, it was great to come up with a smiley... And just in time: as I reached the car, a skateboarder came past on his way to play.

#656

Took a while to check, but it has now been replaced.
Robmc.

Came for a find but perhaps needs to be checked by CO?

Found the obvious location, but no cache:(

Finally! Having visited Williamstown for work several times, today was the first time I've managed to go past this park and see no skaters, so over I went. Spent 20 minutes searching the Seesaw, getting wet in the process as the area was still wet from a lunch time shower
Decided to head off, but reading the logs as I was leaving noted it had been moved (but with no coordinates). However, I found the logical new GZ and a cache size hole, but after a bit of poking around with a stick, no cache was to be found (The first of 6 DNFs today.)
Maybe next visit I can finally log this cache[?]
Cheers
