Sadly, as there is no safe place for the Kritters, we have brought them back inside. Perhaps they will re-emerge at another time.
Cache has been muggled and the log is missing. We will either re-install or archive in next few days. Apologies for any inconvenience.
Accompanied with Sevabo. She found it. Nice playground. No swap. SL. Thanks CSFamily for organising the cache and hunt.
A nice little park.

It was cold (about 3deg) it was damp (not the cache) but we managed to walk the 13m from the car straight to cache. TFTC. lattejed, Nic and Sam.
After missing out on 4 playground caches today because there were kids about,I was happy to get this one.
Our third find for the morning. My little Geokiddy loved the slippery slide. Found the cache and sat in the park whilst I filled out the log. Thanks for the cache CSFamily.
A quick cache and dash for this cache. Strangly seemed to be lots of people here and there. Thanks.
A quick cache and go. Felt very watched, but didn't seem to have any problems. I guess it was just the location. Cold weather helped. TFTC.
Found today on my way home from Mac's Peak.
Don’t know how this cache has survived without being muggled. It is very easy to find and in sight of around six houses. Hope no one saw me return it but a lot of windows in the area that people could watch from.
Cache is in good condition but the log sheet is a little ripped and hard to manage.

Took the new member of the household, Andrew the Geo-Horse on his first ever Geocaching trip....
first place we went had a big sign saying no dogs.
This one, we walked past, came back, sat down on park bench, could actually see the container..... but someone hosting an Anzac Day BBQ meant too many eyes and we didn't attempt to grab it.

Cute Kritter. Found it eaisly this morning. Took a cockaroach and replaced it with the most awsome lego man!! TFTC
More of Did not stop as we entered the street and pulled over there where at least two houses with people sitting around out the front. Will leave for the next trip south.

Found it easily, felt really dodgy turning up in two cars at slightly different times, walking up to the cache as a mob all holding GPS' and pulling out a box. We had a good check for muggles first though and are fairly sure we weren't seen.

Found with becsmith, frebbles and mrflibble. Probably one of the easiest caches I've done so far, but felt very exposed doing it!Particularly as there was 4 adults and not one child with us! Oh well. Nice and quick one. TNLN TFTC
Found this one with Hayleylou, Frebbles and MrFlibble. Our third cache for the day. Very easy cache - felt a little exposed. TNLN, TFTC.
Quick find, feeling very exposed to all the neighbours. T: critter, L: pirate treasure coins. TFTC!
A easy park and grab after finding the correct street.
I did feel very suspicious but I jumped out, found the obvious spot within seconds and shazaam.

From a non-locals point of view I gotta wonder how this cache is still there. Its certainly an exposed spot. The kids were my decoy as I went about my business.
Took the coin. Thanks.

Dropped off "Cache Critters on Patrol" which is a coin I picked up at the Flashmob event cache, and have procrastinated putting it in here ever since.
Funnily enough, the coin is marked "Cache Critters on Patrol" but it comes up as -=REDBACK=- in the registration process.
But what the heck, a redback is still a critter, so into this cache it goes.
Where it crawls to next I await with bated breath.

Nice easy find, thank you for the cache. Liked the critters, but none to swop. So swopped horse for car? A car is a critter if driven in correctly... is it not?
Found by Mary & David at 1550. A nice quick find. Not as warm as yesterday, but we were still pleased it wasn't up a hill. We didn't have any critters with us, so TNLN. Our thanks to CSFamily.
Easy find. I felt a bit conspicuous so close to houses and a playground, but there weren't many people around today. Find no. 7 of a dozen for the day.
No swaps today, thanks for the cache.

Thanks for the visit.

Hit this one up on the way home from the caching event, it was only slightly raining at this stage, found the cache pretty quickly then we were off again to get out of the rain.
Found at 1730. After finding the obvious GZ spot, I initially thought that the cache wasn't there. Just had to delve a little deeper.

Found with allrounder and Shadow! after two of us played baseball in the area, and before we went to the WNBL basketball... whew what a day!
We had to wait out a couple, with baby and dog, and snaffled the cache and took a walk up the alley, only to have the couple come past us there!
Had a good look around the houses facing the park to see if the CS bunch were watching, but noone seemed to be lurking!
TFTC - left a critter!

Found @ 5:54pm with Fore! and Shadow!
Found on a sport filled day (had already been for a run, bike ride, played golf and then watched some baseball!).
A family was in situ - got to meet their dog and throw the ball for it. Fore! retrieved the cache while we provided cover and then we wandered away to examine it.
Said family then headed our way! Returned to the seat and finished filling in the log and making swaps.
Took geo-caching temporary tatt, left allrounder pathtag & mini finger troll.

Found at 12:00 with Wasptor - our first of three for the day. We looked at each other doubtfully as the GPSr indicated that we needed to scrummage around someone's front yard (mind you, this time last week we were looking in someone's garden at Bathurst...).
Anyway, a quick scout around showed an obvious spot nearby, and there it was. Tried to look non-suss as we sat there with Lucas the geobub, and signed the log.

We too were pointed into a person's garden. Although we had done a cache in someone's garden last week, we didn't feel good about this one. So after a quick scout about we found somewhere a bit more likely. Waited for some nearby muggles to move on before replacing. TFTC.

After I ignored the GPSr taking me into a neighbour's garden and had a look around, it was an easy fun find. It was very pleasant sitting on the bench signing the log and looking down the park. Glad that the neighbours had the blinds down!
Thanks CSFamily for a fun little "monster" cache - a good start and may there be many more. Have fun!

A nice quick one on the way to the shops, had the cache in hand with minimum fuss. Mrs monkey didn't expect to see a big rubber spider staring back at her TNLN TFTC
Found early in the morning, it's a public holiday so everyone was sleeping in, no troubles.

38th of 39 finds on day 2 of Oenze and my ACT trip. This one had us feeling like a thousand eyes were upon us but we saw no one. TNLN thanks for the cache.
Find # 1951 and 30th of the 3rd day at 6:10pm. on our longweekend caching trip to Canberra accompanied by Feathertop. A nice and easy drive-by. TNLN, Signed Log, Thanx CSFamily....
I looked and thought "No, I couldn't be there", and it was. Quick easy find. Thanks for the cache. TNLN.
A lunchtime find, nice and easy after getting an ambarrassing DNF on Taylors Toes . GeoTeen did this one for the Clan and retrieved the McPhan signature item, leaving a geocaching temporary tattoo instead as we had no critters in the swag bag. TFTC
This was our 2nd 'cache' find. We went for it as it was easy and to help us get into the whole geocaching mood, not to mention being just a few minutes from home. So thanks for that.
Didn't have a Kritter as such so hope you like the minature horse.
Wonder if that was you mowing your grass/lawn?????
Cheers

Out for 3 quick caches this morning. This was easy to spot as we arrived. Brought it back to the car close by to be less obvious and hope neighbours weren't looking out so early in the morning. TNLN TFTC!
Went out for a brisk morning walk with the other half and our newly purchased GPS, and located the cache quickly before any neighbours could look out of their windows and wonder what we were up to.
Pleased both with the cache (thanks) and with the new piece of equipment that got us there!

Found @6:00pm.
Called by on a rather long detour from work in Barton to home in the northern suburbs. Found quickly and had log signed and replaced promptly. Hope this cache stays put for a while considering the number of nearby observers. Thanks for a great cache.

Ah, a nice easy ride on the way to work, the slightest of detours, and no muggles in sight - far too early. Didn't even need to turn the gps on.
Left a "K" for Kritter - Thanks for the cache.
PS - Forgot - Coooeeeeee off I rode.

Why oh why don't I check my mail more often?
I live only 500 metres from this cache - it's now officially the closest cache to my house actually - so could SO easily have snared a FTF, but I don't even get a podium with 4th.
Well, I have a few FTF's already so it's a good thing to share the opportunities around a bit.
GPS unit was way off, so luckily it wasn't hard to find.

The GPS took me to the right zone and I spotted a likely hiding spot even before I got into the immediate area w/o benefit of the GPSR. I had just sat down to do the log when a quiet little voice asked if I was caching. Nuts sprung again, I met a junior cache owner who was surprised that so many had already visited, this was early afternoon and at least four had been through already. I made my excuses said goodbye and left promptly, after replacing the cache as found, before any neighbors could get their hackles up, I hope.
Nice to meet a charming and polite younger person for a change.

Quick find, few hundred meters away, no interference from the neighbors who were out front. I assumed they were used to it. Thanks for the cache. ZZ7
Chooo ooo *FTF* - one in my neighbourhood! Found bright and early today. Muggles still asleep. Mind you, I was still surprised for the FTF, as this was already posted yesterday! Saw a kangaroo in the middle of the suburb on the way! Found quickly. TNLN. Thanks for your first cache CSFamily – looking forward to many more!
After a long afternoon caching yesterday I was online when this cache was published & was sorely tempted to duck out again to try for the FTF, but the family decided that it was more important to eat. Surprisingly the cache was still unfound several hours later, so I decided on an early morning start if the cache was still unfound.
In the end I was the second to arrive, but third to find - had just arrived & had a cursory look when I see McPhan pull up - and it still wasn't yet 6am. After finding the cache we had a long chat - hopefully the neighbours weren't too worried.

870. Always good to have an "in the wild" encounter.
As I was pulling up to this one I saw an adult in a place they normally wouldn't be, at this time of the morning especially. Then I recognised the car. A quick wave and hello and the cache was in hand.
Had a great long chat with Tealby, this is our 3rd encounter at caches, and hope to have many more - especially if the number of mystery caches keeps growing
