Found this one with the boys fully exposed for all to see, grabbed the coin to continue its journey. TFTC
As Frippy said found the cache on the ground and a little damp so placed it back in the right place we hope thanks for the easy find...
Found this one sitting on the ground in plain view, so we grabbed the coin and placed the cache back where I thought it was supposed to be hidden..
Thanks

Found this with the help of my very tall geocaching friend Danny who grew up on this very street. Just through visiting him while over in Aus from Scotland. Sweet hiding spot
The cache is damp though and could do with a little TLC.

Found easily. Didn't know this park was here. The inside of the container was wet and the log is damp so the cache needs a bit of attention. It's probably due to the massive amount of rain the area has received in the last few weeks.
wow a good spot was very easy had no tradibles though you shoud put some tradibles in it or make it a micro

Found at 1225. After searching for this one a few months ago in the only obvious spot that it could be, decided that it had been muggled. Having seen the recent finds on it, went back to it today to find it in the same spot I looked at before, although no mention of muggling or replacement has been mentioned. Strange.

Forgot to log. Can't remember details. See Greenblob's entry. (The family that geocaches together argues forever.)
This was easy.
Went with badback.
Lucky he came otherwise I would have had no help.
Another heightist cache.
MEANIES!

Found after boosting myslef higher. The log may need airing out as it smells really bad.

Found today by Mr Emu @ 7.00 p.m., GAFF3 http://wiki.geocaching.com.au/wiki/GAFF . A nice little park. I laughed at the sign warning against flying model aeroplanes here - too many trees! It didn't take too long to find because there just aren't that many places to hide a cache; fortunately it wasn't too hard to reach either. Things were a little damp, but not too bad. Thanks for the cache Woodyson.

895. The kids had fun watching me walk around aimlessly trying to get a lock.
They had all seen where it must have been hidden, even tho' at times I was 30m away from it.
Allergy came to the rescue and as she led me to the right spot, I spotted blue.
TFTC and making me look silly(er)

An easy find, the cache and its contents were scattered all over the reserve (but I didn't realise until I was on my way back to the car, thinking that that was 3 DNFs in a row for today)! Gathered the pieces together including the log which was intact, cleaned and dried the container, signed the log, and hopefully I've put it back in the correct location. TFTC

This one was too tall for the Us team for it to be completed by a single team member, so we had to join forces to complete it.
Eldest Miss Us had the location sorted before we even left the car, so she was hoisted to a height where the cache could be retreived & replaced.
No Swaps, TB or Coins moved.

Cheers,
PS - Plaque says 1982 for the YOTT

If you're taller than the average cacher then this should be a breeze.
Nice hide.

That's the good stuff. Take me somewhere I haven't been and wouldn't otherwise go. Got it with R2 sitting on my head.

We were thankful that one member of the team was tall enough to reach this one.

Back from holidays and all these caches have popped up.
Had to have 2 bites at this one. On my first attempt the local postie was having lunch in the park. The 2nd attempt took all my stretch. Thanks

Busted! While looking for the cache I was approached by a young man asking me if I wanted to know where the cache was. He lives next door and had seen someone in the park acting suspiciously a couple of days before. His initial thoughts were drugs (admittedly the person concerned normally looks suspicious anyway and was driving an electricity company vehicle), but found the cache and had a look. I filled him in on what Geocaching is about, so if you get sprung say g'day.
TNLNSL, thanks for the cache!
best wishes,

How many people can watch you grab this one? I hope we didn't get busted but hard to know who's looking out of their window. Couldn't have grabbed this on my own. Great hiding spot Woodyson.
We have to agree with Gribbly about the cache location. We had trouble getting the cache, let alone putting it back. Neat hiding spot though. We went to a lot of trouble to keep out of muggle site. We can only hope we put it back as per original. The way we located it, it is not visible to the muggle eye. So close to home and we did not know about this bit of history.

Flew past here a couple of days ago for a few minutes and had to leave it but today I had the cache in hand in seconds. Unfortunately although it was relitively easy to retrieve my body construction made it very difficult to replace it correctly. I have camoflaged it but it is not quite as hidden as it was. I hope the next cacher is able to put it back a little better. TFTC Took TB
Was able to pick up this one with a short detour on the way home from work. Nice little park. It is all a bit ironic.
Not a FTF but a STF - any prizes for this? Thanks Woodyson, this is part of our afternoon walking track so today's walk had an added incentive.
