Have decided to archive this one.

Was not there! Some little terrors have pinched it!!!

Found the hole but there was nothing inside! Maybe muggled? Did find a lizard in a tree though.

a search of the likely place did not reveal the prize

.

too easy, could have been hidden a little better.

Maitland is too easy!

Found.
second day in streak.

also there is a medium sized huntsman spider guarding the geocache.
he didn't move much when i poked him.
huntsmans wont hurt you, so you dont need to hurt him!

Joining the venture to find The Big Bad Wolf on Sunday evening, thought I better get the pigs first, picked up this one on the way, TFTC Morky70!!

Found it easily.
Too easily in fact because it was not hidden very well.

Nothing taken out.
Nothing put in.

We put it back very carefully and made sure it was well covered up.

My GPS said it was 12m off.
But it was an obvious spot and an easy find.

Thanks again Morky 70

Good find tftc

Number four

Came up to Maitland today to grab a few old and new caches. This was an easy find in a nice spot. Thanks Morky70

Found it. TFTC.

Good find top cache

Tftc

Just done a cache check and can confirm that the cache is still in place along with its 10000 ants. The ants are pretty harmless though.
As per the previous log, Theres no prickles anywhere near the hide.....

OH!! and dont panic, there not bull ants.
I wouldnt have the cache where it is if they were.

Think we found where it should be (and probably is) but too many spiders, ants and prickles for me to investigate further.

Found what I thought was right area, lots of angry ants but no cache.

Though muggles were playing basketball, I managed to be stealthy and retrieve the cache. Though when I did bull ants went EVERYWHERE.

Muggle bball players! Good hiding spot! TFTC!

The ants had a good hold on this one, don't think muggles will try to get it.
TFTC.

Though a light rain was falling for a lot of the day we still had a good day out and this was one of the caches we were able to find.
Thanks to Morky70.

In Maitland for a birthday party so thought we could find some caches too.
We have visited some wonderfull parks, cemetries, old buildings & seen some great caches as well.
Very well concealed had to pry it from its hide.

Tftc. Tough to get at, as there were plenty of large active ants everywhere. But made the swap eventually with use of a long stick. Found with Ashtonfieldseekers. [^]

New container and log book so its good to go again....
And watch out for the ants....

needs a new log...will replace shortly

Easy find, log is damp needs some TLC

Found the container uncovered and in plain sight. The log is quite damp but write-on-able and container very wet inside. An easy start for the day. TFTC

We were first a bit confused by the name and the clue; thought the cache should be in a much higher place than it was.

A nice day to be out with Calypso62 & Possum Blossum. An easy walk through the playing fields - Posssum Blossom even had a play on the swings. An easy find. TNLNSL TFTC

Now for a milkshake & doughnut before shoping before lunch.

#18
I was out with my Poppy, Calypso62 and my Great Uncle Geotooter for a spot of caching. I had a quick play on the swing and slippery dip before heading over to where GU Geotooter was standing. He signed the log for me because I'm only little. Then it was back to the play equipment for some more fun. Poppy and GU Geotooter promised me a donut and a milkshake.... YUM!!!.... so it was off to the shops. Thanks Morky70 for placing a good cache near some play equipment.

Out caching with Spikeymikey and a superfast find as GZ is obvious. Surprised this cache has lasted so long in a spot I would assume is regularly utilised. The container needs to be changed, these type are not waterproof and the log is damp and difficult to write on.

Quick find using just the hint and gps on map. TFTC.

Coords for us were off by 11 meters but the hint is a good one.
That being said we looked there twice and then had to finally look about 10cm deep.
Damn termites and undercutting it and it's sinking.
They would let me put it back either so I had to cover it with leaves.
It still in it;'s spot so all is good.

A good walk on a sunny day and a new log to sign, took booooo!I have never been to this area before so thanks Morky70.

Just dropped off a new log sheet....

While i was out for my morning walk i stopped by and put a couple of better pencils in the cache . I am gonna have to go back and put a new log book also as the old one is looking pretty rough.
Also dropped a off a TB......

Found it during my evening jogs.. few muggles about doing laps of the field.

Wasn't able to log visit because pencil was blunt.. so please bring a pen/pencil or sharpener next time. ^

Thanks Morky70

A few muggles out today but easy to get once they departed. TFTC

TFTC

Having driven past this park for the past ten years I always wanted to drop in and have a look.

Walked by this a while back and muggles were present, so came back and succeeded in locating cache today re-hid with twigs and bark

Quick drive by. TFTC.

Once the GPS got in the spirit of things, this one was found. TFTC

busy but we got it at the end

No one shooting hoops this morning. It was a bit damp from some overnight rain so not a spot for new balls. Clear skies.

Another find for Chris and Kat!

Chris knows the area well and was on this one like white on rice.

I hadn't even made it halfway from the car before Chris had this one in his hand.

A nice easy find for a lazy afternoon.

Found it No. 3549 ... quick find ... TNLN ... TFTC

Found a close parking spot and made an easy find as the area was deserted. Signed it at one of the nearby tables and had to wait longer for the dog walking muggles to disappear than it did to walk from the car and find the cache.
Nice little park

Aussie Cacher made the discovery of this one, logged our finds and made a bit of an affort to hide it better than we found it Thanks for the cache

Reperio at 0840. Being an avid basketballer, this one certainly appealed to me. Spent probably most of my youth and teenage years growing up on outdoor courts just like these. Strolled up and found the cache in the obvious spot, and couldn't help but notice the cache doesn't really fit into it's hide too well. It's a little bit awkward to rehide well.

Gratias.

Super easy find on our caching road trip!

Nice easy find- made us feel like a bunch of pros by this stage.
