No long running this cache

It would be good if this was taken off line so it does not come up in pocket queries until it is fixed....

No luck this time around...

Hey looking for with my friend pretty sure it's not there.

Looking forward to some caching fun with my two smallest geokids, but this one is no where to be found. Plenty of opportunity for a really good look, with no one else here, but definitely not here.

Looked again, this one is gone..

I was here to play with my kid the other day and I think this one is gone..

Absolutely foul weather this afternoon so, unsurprisingly, playground was empty and cache revealed itself after a short search. TFTC

This one is great for the Geokids. We were on this side of town after being told that Peter Rabbit was going to read stories at the library so the Geo-kids and I had some time to spare prior to that engagement.

We were able to play in the park, no muggles around so it was making the hunt for the cache was easy A really quick easy grab.

TFTC.

Just moved to the area and first thing to do was to pick up this cache. Had help from geo kid with the retrieval. TFTC!

Found @ 1:11pm

The last time I was going to find this cache the playground was being utilised so the opportunity was passed. This time the playground was empty, no doubt due to the very windy conditions. However, there were a couple of muggles nearby eating lunch but they ignored me and left before I eventually found the cache. Thanks ACTBandit

Quick grab at GZ. Signed log: TNGD. TFTC!

Fun at the playground with 3 adults tfth

What a great little suburban park. TFTC.

Reperio at 1510.

Not a fan of playground caches as it only takes one muggle to be anywhere nearby and it's game over. The only good time to visit a playground cache is when it's raining, which was the case today, so it was all good. This is the second time I've been to this playground for a cache now!

Gratias ACTBandit.

Found this cache while out looking around Michell and thought we would do some caches. TFTC. Cheers

Found it, a little off from where it is listed.

Had the area to myself, no muggle activety. Quick find on this beautiful day. TFTC

A cool damp morning we headed to the park and visited the park for a multis years ago. We swooped in and made the find before any the locals where up and about.
JABs.

We had time for a few caches before going to the SOTA at exhibition park and this was the closest to our accommodation.
Nice fast find in the early morning. Remember finding a multi in this park a few years back.

First cache I've found in a while. Nice easy cache close to home. TFTC

Loved the magnets and mints.

An easy find on a cool, very windy day.
Have no idea what the hint meant but found it all the same.
TFTC

The cool, windy condition made the playground completely muggle-free ideal for a quick grab. TFTC

Approached the deserted playground from the western side humming various tunes by said musicians in my head and thinking about Marakesh. Although my GPS put GZ on a different piece of equipment there was only one logical conclusion to make so I wandered in that direction just as a father and daughter arrived for an early morning play. Well....time to sit and reflect and pretend to use the phone whilst the cache was found, signed and replace. Luckily there was the previously discussed piece of equipment between myself and them somewhat obscuring the viwe....besides....he seemed intent on the littlie and making sure she didn't fall over.

Hmmmmmmp, dam children..

found it.

Quick grab on our way home after work. No muggles in sight which made it easier to search. The guardian cockroach was a little off putting, but he moved on pretty quickly.

=) Found this on yet another epic caching adventure in Canberra with awesome caching peeps zita&enzo ... TFTC =)

Found with geo-bro ayepeacee, the two GPS were going mental so we resorted to the hint and then had a very quick find. Luckily there were no playground players here today. TNLNSL TFTC!!

Second time lucky here. Nabbed with the Winglens and SolDeLune on a run through the area.

Thanks for the cache.

On our first visit, the playground was occupied and we decided instead on a coffee in Dickson, and a return visit. When we came back 45 minutes later the coast was clear, and Zsazsa7 made a quick grab. Thanks ACTBandit.

Another cache with a clue that made great sense....as long you are about my age. Arrived with winglen and ZsaZsa7 for a second attempt after the playground was occupied on our first vist earlier in the day.

ZZ7 came up with the find and we were on our way.

Thanks ACTBandit.

Huston, we have a problem... Found @ 1725 in the thankfully deserted playground, though I had to rely on instinct more than anything as my GPSr had me standing on open ground and the hint meant absolutely nothing to me. The retrieve was almost successful - I got the container, but the method of attachment remained firmly fastened to the hide! I was able to make a temporary repair, but the colour-scheme has changed slightly as I only had one option available. I couldn't spot it easily once returned to where I found it, but I'm probably taller than most of the people who use the area so it might be worth the CO checking it and making adjustments if necessary. TNLNSL-TFTC.

Not much music here on this chilly morning but I am clueless as to clue but made the find anyway.

Park nice and quiet this afternoon. Sneaky hide. TFTC #21

I've been meaning to do this one for a while, but never got around to it. Today was a good day, and drizzle too which kept the muggles away. GPS was showing about 20m away, so switched to the phone and found it soon afterwards. Thanks.

5285. [font=Century Gothic][green]Had to drop FFP at the docs so had some time up my sleeve. Headed over to this one and on a drizzly day a fast find with no sight of muggles. Although who knows who's peeking through curtains?

Teamed up with Hoojar for the day - a very successful day it was too. We had good weather up to the point where we had other work to do. TFTC

I don't really enjoy these caches as it is very hard not to look suspicious. At least thanks to the clue we knew exactly where to look.

Cheers

Nice to see another cache in my own suburb.

Spent a great day out with SecretSquirrel-BJC visiting a few new sites and a few new caches in old familiar spots. Thanks for the company.

An enjoyable outing to pick up some caches with Captain Tomato - thanks CT - and thanks for the cache and the excuse to be out and about

Got to gz today with jusojara and could see the rain coming. So we rushed and had a quick look, then the rain came and we ran back to the car to wait for it to stop.
After stopping we went out and made a quick find that you would except in a playground. These arent my favourite being a single guy and the cache is a micro TFTC

Mr_roo and I arrived just before the storm today and had to scamper back to the geomobile to wait it out. Once back and with the info from a previous log that we were searching for a micro I knew exactly where to look and had the cache within seconds. TFTC

After a long week at work it was time to get out caching. I am sure I have been for this playground for a cache before. I did not look in the right spot first, but I should have. Thanks.

hummed a little tune while signing the log ta.

4386 + 463 = 4849. A quick find this afternoon.

Driving past nearby on the Highway I took the quick detour to find this one. With school back there was no one around which led to a quick find. From memory there was a Multi here a few years ago. Thanks ACTBandit !!

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers....

It's starting to get a bit darker in the mornings when I head out for my ride. It had lightened up by the time I got to GZ though, which is lucky because my geocaching torch has died. Looked in the usual places and there it was. It's the first time I've seen one of these containers described as small though - it's definitely a micro in my book.

Thanks for the cache.

Grrr - I have a strong dislike for playground caches... But luckily, there was no-one here, so I found it OK! Thanks ACTBandit.

Straight to this very clean and well presented cache. We air guitared and sang a song as we walked away. TFTC.

No-one around mid afternoon, a quick find, thanks.

Headed out here tonight to a suburb we often visit however have never been down these streets to this hidden area before. The iphone was taking its time updating the distance to the cache so started looking using gut instinct. Found at 9:50pm in the third place, we have found hides like this before so it was nice an easy. Thanks ACTBandit for bringing us to a new part of canberra. Took TB, will take it withu us to the coast.

Quick find while out on a bike ride. No TB in it though. TFTC

A quick drive by grab after a northside meeting. The rain made sure this area was deserted this afternoon.

Thanks for the cache ACTBandit

Thought I might be first to find at 2:34pm in this weather, but a "BlackBunny" had already been to the site. TFTC
