Found this cache on 23/6/12 at 11:10am heading out to central Aus. And the deserts of WA for a few weeks. I'm surprised that they are still there.
Thanks Scenic Routers for the hide.

Coming back from a long trip west, we had been out of mobile reception area for some time. As we drove into Bathurst we got our reception back & bikerbuddy got a call just as we were nearing this cache. So while he chatted, I searched & made a quick find. Luckily there were no kids playing on a chilly Sunday afternoon.

The slippery dip was fun, I couldn't resist going down a couple of times. Thanks Scenic routers Smile

This was my last cache on a trip out to near Wilcannia and back - a total of 1750 kilometres in two days. Toriaz found this one while I was distracted by a phone call. Lucky there were no kids in the playground to bother us in the late afternoon, except for the big one who couldn't resist a few turns on the slippery dip. Thanks.

Found it No. 4361 ... quick find ... TNLN ...TFTC Scenic Routers

Old school indeed! Isn't it weird that kids can have a platform above 2m but in a mine site we'd have to wear a harness and working at heights qualification? How did we survive our childhoods with slides like this one! Yes we climbed up and both had a slide for old times sake before play equipment this high gets outlawed!

The caretakers were out fixing the idiots handy work on the oval. Why are there always people who find malicious damage entertaining? TFTC.

Searched all the obvious places but couldn't find this one.

A quick find while looking after the grandkids. They enjoyed the playground equipment. A good hide. TFTC

On a rare dog- and child-free trip, Black Bunny wanted to get as many caches as he could, while the getting was good.
Fogotten has got toilets, but they were locked. Sad I talked to the lady cleaning the area, and she told me about some hoodlums who vandalised the area last weekend. They set fire to the cover for the cricket pitch and ruined it, burnt the council mower, and made wheel tracks on the oval and pitch. Shame they can't be caught and given a good smack on the bottom.

Thanks for the cache, Scenic routers!

A quick find on a caching run to Bathurst for Australia Day. This area is certainly not forgotten this morning with the local Police running a RBT stop nearby.

Thanks for the cache Scenic Routers.

This place brings back memories, I often played at this playground as a kid. I had to have another go of the slippery dip!
 
21-Jan-12
Found it on the third visit - perseverance and a little help from a friend sure pays off. TFTC
 
13-Jan-12
GeoWife and I on a trip to Parkes for the Elvis Presley weekend.

Very nice little park and play stuff for the kid, not forgotten any more.

Tks ... Scenic routers ... GazMag

Lucky no one around , had an excuse to play . TFTC

Only had a quick look as another person had taken up sitting not far away and we were heading home anyways and hungry. Next time perhaps.
 
06-Dec-11
Having done some caches in Orange, we thought it was time we cleaned up a few we have neglected in our own town. A little applied physics and this one was ours. TFTC
 
06-Dec-11
We really should be able to hire a geokid for these caches - we are too old to be playing on the equipment. TFTC
 
17-Nov-11
Went backwards and forwards a few times before locating this cache. Many muggles about so had to be discreet at the end. TFTC

Easy find. TFTC

#23 in my quest to find 60 caches in one day to celebrate my 60th birthday.

Such an appropriate name for a cache, as we forgot this cache for a while, and did it out of out proposed sequence. Only a few places it could be really...

Thanks Sr.

Found it Big Grin! Typical! Not used often, except when I want to stop there!!! Thankfully it was clear as I headed back to town after getting one further up the road. SL TFTC

Nice hiding spot and rest area. Also fun playing equipment!! Took a while to find but we found it in the end. Tftc
 
01-Oct-11
This one tested our determination but we got down & got dirty to be rewarded
 
28-Sep-11
Took a while but we persevered and eventually found it.
 
24-Sep-11
We enjoyed the rest stop here and soon had the goods in hand.
No one around which made the find easier.

Many thanks to Scenic Routers.
 
14-Sep-11
A bit harder to find. Variety in GPS readings because of the cloud cover but LJC's persistance paid off. TFTC
 
02-Sep-11
On our way back to Blayney caravan park...Mr Bushies2 found it...dodging the spider webs. Thanks Scenic routers.
 
21-Aug-11
Found this one with the help of the kids! It sure is handy to have them with you sometimes. TFTC
 
14-Aug-11
We can see why you must persist with this one. We nearly gave up but one more look in a spot we had already searched numerous times turned out to be the winner!!! Kids loved the slide as it has to be one of the fastest that they have been on. TFTC

For a while there I would have struggled to see the pyramids of Egypt whilst standing in front of them but finally came up with the goods. Have been meaning to cross this one off and now I can.

spent alot of time on this cache looked and looked in the same spot scratching my head in the end it was in the place i looked the first time for me the size of the cache put me off tftc Smile

Nice easy one to cross off another day on the find calendar. No muggles about as it was just after dark.
Back to a 20km clear radius. Now to clear the 50km

This cache took much too long to come into focus even though we were looking right at it several times. In the end perseverance paid off and we came up with the goods once our eyes adjusted.

Thanks for the cache, please keep them coming.
 
13-Jul-11
Was not able to see this one as I had to jump out and back in to the car as there was muggles coming and going while I was there.
 
09-Jul-11
I should turn on my email notifications, as I might have had a record find time for this one! I was just down the road doing cache maintenance when I checked my inbox... As it is, I log a FTF at 13:46, a sluggish 29 minutes after it was published. Of course, even in such an open space, SR had me looking around for a little while! I was even sprung by a local who congratulated me for 'doing a bit of maintenance'. Who am I to set her straight Wink. TFTC.
