Maintaining issues

DNF Cache may be missing in action

Will replace log shortly

Great hide! I get it, park it!!

Took us bit of searching but we got it. Gps was a bit muddled

Found on a round trip around the area today. Nice hide, and it was a bit pesky, as my co-ords were a bit far off today. TNLNSL TFTC,

As promised, Possum Blossom and I revisited this cache today. There was a mum and a couple of kids playing on the equipment but they didn't worry about us. The cache was retrieved and a new log scroll inserted with our names duly signed. Thanks Tamykian for bringing us to this lovely little park.

My poppy and I went back to this cache while enjoying another lovely walk around the streets. We'll have to come back soon so I can play on the swings. This is a nice park to come to. Thanks Tamykian.

Got it at last, tried two times at night with no luck, quick find in the daylight. Moral of the story, don't look for nano's in the dark. TFTC.

Bit of a look around soon had cache in hand
Thanks Tamykian

I was out for a lovely walk with Possum Blossom and this one was close by. We found the pesky little cache but unfortunately the log scroll is full. So, being a bit of a purist, I decided to wait till the scroll was replaced with a new one. I'll be back in the area again on Wednesday so Possum Blossom and I will try and claim our find then. If the CO prefers, I can take a new scroll with me to replace the full one.

We were looking in the wrong location at first.
Got there in the end

Finally found this one on the 3rd attempt. Tftc

This is my second time here. No muggles. Still cant find it. Searched high and low and had no luck what so ever... maybe its a case of 3rd time lucky, or its missing :-/

Decided to have a look for this one today. Was raining so absolutely no muggles around. i spent a considerable amount of time searching but ended up leaving with no luck. Have a slight feeling that this one may have been removed... either that or my eyesight is bad!

Not surprising for me. Im hopeless at nanos

Our 4948th overall find.

3:25 PM I pulled up at this nice little park and thought for sure at this time of the afternoon that there would be school kids all over it but they were obviously still too busy doing homework or something as I had the place to myself. I made the find quickly and was on my way to the next one.

Thanks to Tamykian for the cache.

Found this one on the second visit as the GPS did not take us right there the first time! Not fond of these tiny ones! ARGH! Widened the search on the second visit and found it easily and discretely! TFTC

Ok first time there were kids in the park so I kept on going to the next cache but on my way past the second time they were on there way home so I have a chance of finding it this time although the guy in the garage over the road was around. Found a great spot on the park bench that has a loose screw but on cache here so I went to the other spots and soon found it.

Very hard but eventually found it after30 mins hint not helpful at all think someones moved it

nice nano cache Tamykian park was empty so found cache in peace. TFTC
cheers team wooness

Found in conjunction with Maitland Pathfinders. This one inspired them, first nano they had seen

Nice cache Tamykian - Thank you for this example of a nano cache - first nano for Pathfinders.

Alot of muggles were here for a party, we'll come back another time.

Found it No. 3556 ... easy find ... TNLN ... TFTC

The park was in use when we first drove by so we headed off to grab some other hides. When we returned we had the location to ourselves so after a bit of a search we found the hide. Great spot to visit TFTC Tamykian. [915]

found quickly today on a quiet afternnon, tftc

We tried for this one about four hours ago but the park was full of mini muggles so we didn't attempt it. Came back in the dark for a quick find. TFTC

The park was deserted because of an imminent storm, so I was able to search far and wide, which I did. No luck at GZ, so I used the hint and widened the search. Still no success.

Thought this one was gone until I went back through the previous logs and realized that the co-ords were a bit out. Moved to the other one and made a quick find.
The guy across the road kept looking my way as he stood in his garage but some friends turned up about 5 minutes after I got to the park and he disappeared inside.

I spent the day with ruffasgutts4x4 caching around the area. We only had 2 DNFs with one end up being muggled. Thanks for all the cach. We enjoyed our tour of Maitlands caches. TFTC SL.

Another quick find in our day of Maitland caching, Thanks for bringing us here

We parked it, at the wrong spot, read the logs then found the cache at another spot. All good. Easy find by Mrs Morgan with her iphone mirror. Thanks Tamykian, we love a good nano hide. SL

This was a nice place to stop - the kids had a play while we found cache. It is interesting how this game takes you to places you have never been before. My sister lives so close to this park, but we didn't know it was here. SL TFTC Tamykian.

When we arrived at this one, there was a lady pushing her daughter on the swings, so we decided to play the "waiting for a friend" game, and sat as close as we could to GZ so that we could also try to search while they weren't looking. After a while they walked back to their house across the road - I wonder what they must think about this sudden rush of people suddenly coming to their park?! Once they had gone we conducted our search, but came up with nothing at GZ. Using the clue we inceased our search area and eventually found the cache about 8m away from GZ. TNLNSL TFTC

nice spot for the cache. was there when theburners family and morky70 turned up...we all ended up finding it. TYFC go team stevens.

This one was a bit of a group effort between TheStevens, Morky70 and us. It must've been the morning for caching today, we meet heaps of people today. Mr TheStevens made the find, his first nano. We love finding nano's and we have been taking about putting a cache in this park for ages. Mini Burners enjoyed the park, while providing us adults with a bit of cover! It was nice to meet up with Tamyikan as we were leaving this one. A very social day it was ! TFTC.

I spent about 20min looking for this without any luck so decided to have a break from it and go check out type of car. On arriving at type of car i met up with The Burners family who were just about to make there way to park it.So after finding type of car i headed back to have another look for this.On arriving to park it for the second time we also met up with The Stevens. So between myself,The Burners family and the Stevens it wasn't long before the Steven come up with the goods.We all signed the log ,had a chat for a while and was about to leave when we also met up with the Tamykian......It was nice to meet everyone and hope to catch up with yous again out there somewhere.

Thanks Tamykian

Found this while on a run around of all the caches in the area.

I drove past and there we some kids playing in the park so I continued on to Bird Calls.

On the way back to this cache I passed a familiar face driving past in the 4WD with the trailer on the back. (No caching today)

Went to the area the GPS told me was GZ and searched for ages with no luck. Gave up in disgust.

I went back to the car and checked the other logs and saw gd___ said the coords were out.

I then went back and checked the other option and found it immediately.

Thanks Tamykian

Rated: for Overall Experience

*FTF* number four for the night. The GPS had me about 10 meters away but was only giving me 10 meter accuracy so when the cache didn't show up there I widened the search to another possible spot and quickly found the cache.

Thanks.
