Recent tree works mean that there is no more "reach under" to find this cache, and a crater in the mulch the size of Vesuvius suggests that others have already looked.

Kat Kids is a class from Katandra School which is a school for children with autism and learning disabilities. We had a group of 15 children. This was our very first cache and the kids had lots of fun looking at the map so that they could figure out how to find the cache. We had already had a practice run at our school. We had a helper Royce (RollaB) and he showed us what to do. It was very exciting and we also learnt to do this in secretive way. We wrote a note saying that Kat Kids had visited this spot.

Quickly found @ 1305 - had the park to myself so retrieve was easy (though very ungainly!) TNLNSL-TFTC.

Found on way home from an awesome gig, Colin Hay & The Little Stevies at the Corner Hotel. This was an interesting find - requiring high level stelth. even at 11:30 pm muggles were still around. Waited for a few to wonder past then quickly crawled under to retirve the cache. Once I was there I figured I'd sign log and replace cache withotu bothering to crawl back out again. so wnt about opeing the cache getting the log book out, not using torch so I wouldn't atract attention from the servo across the road. Just as I had the log book out, and other contents were out of cache as well. A muggle couple wondered along th foot path. "Oh bother"* I thought. No where to escape to, no way of looking like casually hanging around talking on the Phone (GPS) in this positon. So heals down, head down, don't move and hope. They walked within 2 metres of me and didn't notice a thing! "Thank Goodness"* I thought. Signed log, replaced contents and cache and slid out and away into the night. I think this cache should be a higher difficulty and terrain rating. The amount of muggles in the area, and fact that you are in a very unnatural spot when retriving the cache really should make this a 2.5 - 3 difficulty. The tree prickles and fact that you have to crawl / slide along the ground shoud push the terrain up to round a 2.5.
Thanks for a fun, nerve racking cache.

As I pulled into the park the area was a hide of activity.

Nothing like a bit of warm weather to bring out the fitness freaks.

I loitered around pretending to be talking on the phone before diving in and grabbing the cache when there was a break in the traffic.

A nice one.

Sorry the code did'nt come up on the oregon as I would have sent a message.

TFTC Smile

Sad On a day out with Gonefishen07 unfortunately there was lots of muggles, will have to do this one some other time when we are in the big smoke.

#111 - what a lovely day! After rainy morning sun came out and we just couldn't resist going out for a couple of caches. This was the first find for the day. There were loooots of school kids at the track, but none near the GZ. Easy find! We rewarded ourselves with a little shopping trip across the road to 'Sweet as' Smile.
TFTC!
