As a cache hider I am sick of negative comments. I am strictly only going to find for the foreseeable future. It's such a shame as my kids enjoy placing caches and reading the positive comments.

After a very early start to the day attending the Dawn Service on the Strand we decided to grab a few caches before lunch.

After our first DNF in this area we were hoping for success but were disappointed again.

Whole team spent a good 40 minutes in this area. Couldn't find it. Nice park though.

No luck today.

needs new log book

Thought outside the square that took me back to the car ad off to the next hide, no joy here after 30 minutes of square dancing:-(

Our 2nd DNF today.
We don't normally do kids playgrounds. . . we spent quite some time here at around 10:25:00 AM, but couldn't locate the cache.

Ohhhhh my oh my what a clever hide and thanks for the hint. TFTC.

Just tracking my finds

Recognised this cache for what it is since I own one to. TFTC!

Found with llama, we were both really impressed with this cache, very creative! TFTC.

I came here today and thought outside the square......
I looked outside the square.....
I felt inside the square....
I sat down on the square......
Then just as I was about to give up I decided to trust the GPS and it took me right outside the square to a nice cache.
Well done AT502.

Cheers and happy caching.

#84 The last time I was here alone, I ignored the GPS and spent an hour climbing over, under and inside the box.

Today, I followed the GPS closely, and realised the square was not the box. I gave it a good going over, and was convinced it wasn't there. Little Monkey then walked over and pulled the cache off the square.

Brahms6 found it. Took a while, long enough for the geohounds to lose interest. TFTC

Logging for couple account. TFTC

I may as well climbed inside the square, but didn't see anything.

haha, i have looked at this sneaky hide many times, always thinking it was what it looks like... hahaha

Put in a good 20mins here before more rain came!! I am very confused...

07.00 - On a roll now. 3/11. T4TC.

Found two caches of this type this morning. Have found a couple imilar in Cairns and also in the Northern Territory. They are very popular in New Zealand - we found about a dozen of them. TFT(very devious)C

Great cache! Sneaky indeed, gotta get me some of these containers ... Tftc...

This one was a great hide with a good container. Right on the GZ too. Good job TFTC.

Very sneaky.

Tried at 10 pm at night, didn't find it.

Tricky!

TFTC. Very clever!

Found quickly on a recent work trip to NQ.

TFTC, Dazweeja

Fairly quick find. Not quite the obvious spot, but it did stand out. Cheers Gav [9042]

A quick wee find as I've done a few of these now. TFTC

Found with MoneyDork & Rediguana. TFTC AmmoTech502

Good hide

Out this way for a family BBQ tonight, their place must only be 40m from the Plank. Very handy for a quick grab and were able to introduce and educate all that were there on Geocaching. Love the container. Thanks

Found ok after a short hunt. We have one of these containers ourselves, so we knew it as soon as we seen it Thanks AmmoTech502

You are evil.We have just done one with a container like this at Port Augusta a week or so ago you could not fool us. Certainly more fun than a walk up and put your hand on it type SL TFTC

First time I had seen this type of cache.. Very clever! I was stand infront of it and thought to myself Noooooo surly not!

Turns out...... it was!! Hahaha

SL.

FG.

Right where it should have been. If I had a brain that is!

Didn't take too long, and thankfully nobody around this evening when I visited.

Cached from SA.

Yet another quiet park with no-one in sight. A clever hide too.

Once you ignore the GPS and search likely spots it's not too hard to find this one. Have seen those containers before.

Another nice spot thankfully muggle free today. I surveyed the scene, wandered around, checked the GPS, checked a couple of things, and then saw something I have used myself and there was the cache. Nicely done thanks AmmoTech502.

Wow!! This is certainly my favourite as this is my 500th cache when I add in the 19 GCA caches I have also!! My Geoson has already sent me a 500 finds Geocoin to celebrate this as he realised I was getting close!! What a good cache this is although it was a quick find as I have one of those myself. Lovely playground and it certainly was fun "walking the plank" with the help of the Reluctant Companion. Onward and upward to the next one. Thanks AmmoTech!

You think 11pm at night would be a good time - yeah, if people were in their beds sleeping! Too many cars and a couple walking their dog. Will come back another time.

Found at 11:22am after a few walks around poking and proding. Something moved. Of course I have seen these many times before, how could I be so slow.

Some late night caching with a mate who lives in the area ... TFTC

I looked at this cache twice but as it didn't move didn't think it was until everything was eliminated. Went back to it and this time I could move it.

Thanks for the cache.

Hmmm. Found eventually.

Thanks

A tricky hide and not at all straight forward.

Have to come back another time for this one

Arrived at GZ for a late lunch today expecting another challenging hunt and spotted the cache in seconds as co-ords are spot on and I've found one of these before. Retrieving it was a little tricky due to nearby people.Thanks AmmoTech502 for another clever hide.Nice camo.TNLNSL.

The walk the plank had us going. Once we realized that had nothing to do with cache we were enlightened. T4TC. SL. TNLN. Bamster

When the Geodad told me the hint from the cache listing, I went straight to it ... but it took me a minute to really believe my own hunch ... great hide Ammotech. But I really think the Geodad is starting to hate me, took him 20 minutes, me less than 2!!!!!

TFTH SL

Very lucky to have been introduced to this camo type last week with an extremely tricky hide so that experience made this slightly simpler. Preferred this one!!! Very well done. Interesting spot. Thanks AmmoTech502

Took me a few minutes - very ingenious, saw some similar examples in Sydney.

Would not have found this cache with out Jibba Jabba's help TNLNSL TFTC

Spent a few minutes looking in what I thought was an obvious area, only to realise that I was short of the mark. Once I moved on the cache was quickly found. Nice new area without too many prying eyes to watch. TFTC

Fourth for the day and we are on fire. Great hide but made easy as I have seen these caches before. TNLNSL TFTC

After a long search we decided to take a break and think about it, just as a family rolled up on thier scooters. Right at that minute we both decided where it was but now we had to wait for the family to leave. Not so easy, they were there for the stay. Bubbles started up a conversation with them which made our stay even longer, fortunately they were a lovely family and by now were wondering why we were here. We continued to chat not giving up our true intention and it was close to an hour before this muggle family were on their scooters and on thier way again. Once we saw them from the distance we had the cache in hand, signed and on our way. TFTC.

Left extra early for work this morning but must have arrived just after summer'skoby to come in third to log the find. Good work Cat and Bear. Looking forward to the caches you have in mind. Another ingenious hide Ammotech 502.

at the time this cache was posted half of the summer'skoby crew were in bed and geodad was not at all keen on riding to kalynda chase at night.waited till morning and the team was up and at it........no ftf but second to local knowledge not too bad.another crafty cache by ammotech 502 and hasty find by cat and bear,nice work.sl.tftc.p.s.the hint got muggled?!!

"FTF" Found this at night. Waited for a little while and decided to take the geo dog Tyran for a walk. Got to the GZ and Cat using her instinct found the cache surprisingly quickly. Nice hide in a nice little park. Thanks for placing the cache AT. Look forward to more challanging ones of ours in the future. Thanks Cat and Bear : )
