Twins Harden, New South Wales, Australia

This is no longer so will have to put it to bed!!!!

Looks like the fun has left the playground will check on this one soon!!

Just letting you know the twins have been removed from the playground, so the cache has gone with it. We just went past and I noticed it had been removed

Like the previous searcher I also failed to find this cache despite looking under, over and around everything within a reasonable distance from GZ.

A DNF for me today. May be time to check it's still there.

Thanks anyway The Sundowners.

Had a bit of look around, GPS sent us in one area, checked the maps it showed another area.
Had a very good look around.
Decided that the cache must be missing.
Thanks anyway guys.

Easy find, after geoboy stopped long enough to grab the cache, Thanks for bringing us here

Found it (yay)

Get the name now

Looking for it for a while

27/3/2011

Cache found, not signable... didn't have a spare page. Tftc

Found early morning on the way to work at Murrumburrah. Evenso, I had to wait for a muggle to depart the car park before I could have a decent look without arousing too much attention. The geo-kids certainly would have provided the necessary decoy at this location. Many thanks to the Sundowners.

How do you make a long trip take even longer?
Cache along the way.
At least there is no need to stop every 2 hours for a rest-revive-survive break -
the caches are closer together than that!
3pm- #4 of about 80 caches found on a trip from Sydney to Adelaide & back.
After the rain of the past few days, at least this one was not drowned like the last one I did.

Dipped travel bug - Silver Cache Mobile and Geocoin 2009 Victoria Bushfire Appeal Geocoin in this cache - both travelled with us through the area and up to the cache, but were too large to place inside the container.

found with ausiepuschaks.
i grabbed the cache just before aussiepuschaks who were to busy eating pizza.

Found by unicornnikita moments before I could grasp it. A nice park to let the geokids loose in. TFTC

(10:38 AM) Managed to smash my head on part of the playground while looking under thing. Eventually found the cache in an easier to find spot. Log was so weathered it was impossible to write on with pen. Luckily there was a pencil in the cache.

Found on the way home from Bathurst via who knows where Signed log which whilst dry appears to have been wet and has since dryed out and is a bit fragile. Thanks for a great hide.

Now I understand the name! A nice quick find by Ju - and then a reward of a play while I signed the log.

Found it with the kids on the way to temora-tftc

Found on the way to Broken Hill via Temora and Griffith. Tftc!

A nice spot for lunch and a bit of caching. TFTC

easy find but log is soaking wet... thank you

This is the second time I have visited this site and again the GPS had me looking in the wrong area. Finally found by Trillian then on to another cache.

A few council workers around but managed to grab this one.

Found at 4.50.

Easy find.

The park was clear today as we made a quick find at GZ. Found with Just a cacher & Candy Cane 101. SL TFTC

Found with Candy Cane 101 & Black Bunny. SL TFTC

A quick find with Black Bunny & Just a cacher. Sl nice little park

Reperio at 0720. These spots are usually the bane of my caching as there always seem to have junior muggles about. This morning however they would have been mad to be here as it was cold and raining. Searched a couple of spots before spotting the cache.

Gratias.

TFTC - there were so many options given the cache name, but the coords were pretty accurate. Found in the first place I looked, and given the chill in the air and the drizzle, I was very pleased about that .

had to have two looks to find it

took about 20 min to find with mltansey, took 2 of us to find it (we looked in the spot twice lol)

good place for the kids

had a 10 min look but forgot to get the gps co-ordinates so will try again another day

Nice park and rest stop for the farmers clan.We logged the micro sheet and moved on.Thanks to The Sundowners for the cache hide.

Quick stop off on the way from Wagga to Bathurst, managed a quick find as there was no one around on a damp day T4TC.

The park was empty when we arrived which was just as well since the kids took off in the opposite direction with the cricket ball. Turned out to be a quick find.
Thanks The Sundowners for the cache,
Regards Mr.Coffee

Found in the company of MtbikerOz During the Wagga weekend

Found
EASY PEASY!!

Mirror was a handy tool for looking inconspicuous!!
There were kids, grandparents and parents EVERYWHERE!!!!!
HA!!

The two of us, MtnLioness and I played, and found !!!!!! All while there were muggles EVERYWHERE. Found while wandering around and after Wagga Wagga during the OZ MEGA WAGGA WAGGA EVENT, Thanks.

Had a good look but there was nothing where the gps put us.

[We felt a bit suss trying this one. Adults on their own however well dressed and behaved still look suspicious in play areas. We did get a brief window to search what we felt was the obvious spot] at the base of the stair [but no luck.

Our advice, do with care, unless there is no one there or you have the cover of kids!]

Had to wait for a lady walking her dogs to leave before having the place to myself and making an easy find.
Like the old tractors.

TFTC

Catching up on all old finds. Found with RTEC+

On the way home from Temoral triathlon, the nearby river was flooded from all the rain, Thanks

Shell and I had driven past this one before but not looked due to muggles but today we had no issues and FF and i found it very quickly.

Thanks The Sundowners for the cache.

Found during a run down to Wagga Wagga with The Rats, Big Matt and Shell, Steeba and Gribbly. My daughters would have loved this one. TFTC.

GEO Gizmo was out by 9 meters so used the force !!

EASY

I say a gain what a beautiful town and people

Clever spot this one, yet another find for us

Found and then had some fun in the play ground

Second time around. First time GZ was so busy, today not a soul about. (probably the heat).

Investigated all of the likely areas, then the name dawned on me and made the grab in seconds.

Thanks for the cache.

on the way to temora for the V8 boats. This gave us a reason to stop for short break.
stopped here ages ago but the park was full of young muggles so we gave it a miss
this time it was vacant .

After an extensive search by Geo-Whife I wandered over and checked the obviouse, no luck so I thought about it for a moment and came up with some not so obviouse, and wala i had id streight away. TFTC

This one was a little tricky as there was a mother and 4 kids playing in the park. We waited till her back was turned and grabbed the cache. I don't know about the size though. I would consider it a micro.
Cheers.

Sneakily grabbed this as Chip and I dodged the muggles!

Cheers

2nd attempt on this one. Last time there were kids playing on the playground and didnt attempt it. Today mum and I turned up early and there were only acouple of kids playing soccer on the soccer fields. So we almost had the playground for ourselves. A quick search and found the cache quickly TFTC

Even with all the scoccor and people playing we soon had the family move in on this one. All ways handy to have the kids playing.
JABs.

1508 - Last find on a run through the Junee / Cootamundra region...

Twins ! - The only Twins I saw were the Twin Boys in Blue when they turned up JUST at the wrong time and wanted to know what we were up to...??? They weren't really impressed.....(!!)

All was good - we weren't arrested - so we finished the job and headed home.......

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers....

Oh dear, what a way to finish our day.......

Arrived at the general area, good no one around.....cool, lets make a quick find.

Cache was located quickly, log signed...........and then the police turned up. Asked us what we were up to, as they said.....'Two grown men hanging around a play ground - a bit suss'. Explained all about caching, showed them the log (which they had long look at) and our GPS. They were happy with all that, and their only comment......'What ever turns your key'......and they drove off.

Cache was replaced, and headed off.......all good in the end.

Thanks Sundowners, a bit of excitment to finish our day.

Got to gz on this one, and it was rainning. Soccer players were turning up and a guy was playing with his kids nearby. Muggleville! Nope not going to even start searching with that will be back!

Found on my west by nor west caching lookaround. No one about on a rather cool day.

Quick find in the dark. TFTH

A quick night dash on the way home from Young. Mr MC KENNA quite bemused that people would hide things here!

Found the twins OK but didnt find the cache. Got down low on each piece of equipment.

Day 309 of non-stop caching

Finally ! we made it back to this cache ! nice hide in a very popular spot, we arrived at 7.30am only to find muggles, doh ! they did not stay long as we cooked some breeky and we found the cache in the second place we looked after they left ! tops ! Thanx for bringing us back.

Had to wait for some muggles to complete their rest stops and then cache was quickly in had. Have seen one in this spot before. TFTC.

A quick easy find on our way to Griffith for the long weekend.
SL. TFTC.

Found it! My final cache stop on my Blayney to Batlow trip. (yes I did detour just a bit). A bit more challenging than I expected which made the find even sweeter. SL TFTC. This was find number 20 for the trip. Cheers

Found at 11:40 - the first on my Adelaide-Melbourne trip.

A slow travelling 4wd ute that I'd been stuck behind for ages pulled up at the same spot. The elderly occupants didn't end up causing any problems though as they were more intent on using the nearby loos.

An easy find, and quickly replaced again when the oldies weren't looking.

Thanks Sundowners

Very good - TFTC

Found this cache on a trip to Adelaide from Wollongong via Broken Hill then back again through Griffith and Canberra. The date of our visit might be off. TFTC

Found 16:00. Quick find, had to wait till some workman finished cleaning toilet blocks.

no chance today. The area was full of the younger local muggles

Not so much didnt find but knew just where it was but could not get through the muggles who arrived seconds before us!! that does give an ol digger the chit's, having just done 300k of 580 to have to miss, next time!

Anothe short stop on the way home. I searched everywhere for this one and was just about to give when I noticed and area that did not match up with the rest of the structure. Sure enough I had found it.

TFTC one of 10 for the day.
Found with Zoratz.

Nice easy find
one of 10 with Badimara

A quick find in this nice spot. TFTC!

Another quickie on the way to west wyalong
SL TFTC

Found at 9.00am GAFF3. Our first cache on this holiday and we were intent on checking out the "twins" - 3 times! We then relented and checked out where our GPS said we should look. Thanks The Sundowners

Nice easy find ok the way Melbourne, very nice spot!

an old chook visited

Found this with gerrynewgirl & weroamin, our first day cache, they did most of the work. Miss Meges went for a stroll around the park

Found in the company of weroamin, Miss Meges & Haydos whilst on a trip down south. TFTC.

Well it was nice to slow down a couple of new geocachers with a micro. Team Miss Meges & Haydos got the jump to GZ but the cache was too elusive for them or gerrynewgirl. I got down real low and found this one quickly. TFTC

Find 4 of a 6 trip find on the way to (and back from) Temora Airshow.

Found by baby&Mrs gopher at 0915 on a trip to Canberra from The Rock.TNSL Tnx The Sundowners.

Found with Nephew on the way to Young to have lunch with family, This park brings back memories as I went to high school here in town & grew up in a small neighboring village, where I still go to visit family but not as often as I should.

A tidy little park in the twin towns
My GPS led me straight to another likely set of twins where I spent many minutes clearing out spiderwebs and poking around looking for the cache
Then I saw that it had been found only a few days earlier, so I went for a wander round the park and when I returned the GPS took me to another nearby spot where there was a cache

Found by Mary & David at 1530. A modest detour off the Hume to collect some windmill details and this cache as well. Certainly a lovely little town. Our thanks to The Sundowners.

Indeed a lovely open tidy town and a nice playground.

Thanks The Sundowners.

TFTC

GOOD EASY ONE TO START THE DAY PASSED THROUGH HERE THE OTHER DAY AND THOUGHT WAT A GREAT SPOT TO PUT A CACHE AND THERE WAS ALREADY ONE HERE. GREAT SPOT FOR THE GEOKIDS
