The Wizard of Oz - Ruby Red Slipper Belmont, Western Australia, Australia
By Tanzanite! on 29-Feb-12. Waypoint GC3DG4W

No more Ruby Red Slipper for the time being.

Nicely hidden cache.

TFTC

The cache's lid has broken loose, but is still present.
The zip lock bag is broken.
The log book is full.

Well we are here in Oz... Found with the search masters and big taps. Tftc

Nice and bright

Great spot, the log book is nearly finished

Too many muggles about Park filled with daycare kids and carpark had a lady sitting in her car right where we wanted to look. Waited for a while, but lady in car wouldn't leave so will have to come back another day. Kids still had a nice play in the playground - bit of winter sunshine

Sent my kids in to grab this one. High risk of looking like some kind of perv if I'd just gone in alone.

Nice container, log book still full.

Found it OK but couldn't risk extracting it to sign the log as too many people around. it was dodgy enough looking through the hedge with a children's playground behind it. Nice decoration on this one.



As for the hint, "in front" is a subjective term, the rubbish slot is not necessarily the front of the bin.

My 2nd failed attempt at this one. Noted from previous log that hint is a complete furphy The only other metallic object that I could discern anywhere near GZ was the well concealed playground fence. With Belmont Security cruising past at 0700 Saturday morning I felt too exposed for a more detailed search.

Whilst out with J&J_45, she made the grab for me.
Muggles took a while to leave so under the guise of phones, she went in for the prize.
The log is now full.

Log book is full and did not have a replacement.
And besides, this one is well decorated to match its container.

Found this whilst showing my new geocaching nieces what this is all about.
Love the container

Last time I was here I was in a hurry to get to the airport and couldn't find the cache. This time i was on a break between presentations at the council and could be a bit more methodical. Took about 10 minutes but eventually turned up the well hidden cache. My advice for future cachers would be to ignore the hint. It's not on the bin, but in no way is this "in front" of anything.

Very frustrating hunt. Hint didn't make any sense at all.

Out and about with a muggle friend who finds geocaching ridiculous. Looking at my phone I spotted this one 77m away, how could I resist? Said muggle friend was the one to actually find it though unfortunately she's not a convert. TFTC!

tftf nice park

Thanks for the hide. Pretty shinny little cache, how did it take so long to find I do not know.

Log book almost full

Wizard of oz all done

Ran into a cache family while out looking for this one. Thought I looked in all the right places but didn't find it til my second time around. TFTC - so pretty )

TFTC

TFTC! I love the container.

Tftc. Cutie. Love the red bling

Loving the containers tftc

TFTC

Shining like a beacon in the night. I'm surprised it hasn't been muggled by the million kids that frequent the play area. TFTC.

I do appreciate the work that goes into your caches, Tanzanite! This was a little trickier than I was expecting as it was quite dark. TFTC

TFTC found this cach on my first cach adventure and never logged the find

Yeah! Found second time around. Last time was rainy and muggles around. Good hide. TFTC Pretty

Oh very pretty, Tanzanite! I almost wanted to kep it. TFTC!

I did search here because I didn't want that my boyfriend gave strangers the wrong idea's. In:TB (and out already .THX

The kids loved this series. Found after a great play in the volcano park.

This witch dressed even better than her sister in the west! TFTC

Out with mistraluna for a day of caching and after a bad start of DNFS i still managed to find 21 caches but i lost count of the DNFS. A quick find with another nice container. The playground was very busy with lots of people having bbqs and children playing on very nice play equipment TFTC

After a dismal series of DNF's in this area, it was a delight to find this little series of caches. Well done Tanzanite!! Very pretty. Thanks

Felt a bit off - a middle aged bloke poking his nose through the hedge looking into a playground! - luckily I found the red slipper quick enough. Was almost there and then I read the hint and it put me off for 5 minutes! Thanks.

2nd time found. Lost my pen so couldn't sign.

Found @ 1330!

The hint threw me for a a few seconds, but spotted the cache pretty quick!

Had to fumble in my bag for a while when muggles were parking nearby...

Good work with the container!

TFTC!

Fairly quick find on my way from the airport to my accomodation for the week. My first find in the 5000-75000km from home category! TFTC!!!

I was visiting an uncle in Belmont, and decided to introduce a young cousin of mine to geocaching. I only had my iPhone and a borrowed pen with me, but thankfully it didn't take too long to find the cache. TFTC

Found it after a little looking. Very cool tin!

Yay - our first geocache found. Wrote on log

Cool series

Great idea for this cache. Took a bit of searching with The Modal Nodes but we got there. TFTC.

So pretty! Spotted through the green. TFTC!!!

Loved the container. TFTH.

Was in the area and did a little cacheing while here.
fast find with the geokids!
TFTC

Re-logging under new team name ONLINE ONLY (were formerly part of TheChatterboxes but the team had got too large). If CO is not ok with this please contact me. Thanks.

Love the thought and work that has gone into these caches. Shame the wicked witch is missing....

Came back to look again - the first time it was out of action and then geohubby was looking in the wrong place, but this time he found it. I'm reading the book to geoson on your recommendation, but he seems to be sick of it - I'll just have to read it to myself!

The hint tricked us for a little while, but it's always obvious after you've found it!! Loved this Wizard of Oz series

Quick find. Ta.

A nice easy cache to spot when you know what you are looking for. TFTC

Tftc! With mpezzutto

Nice geocache. Love this series of caches. Good on ya Tanzanite for creating these lovely tins. The red one was my personal favourite. Very easy but watch out for muggles (!!!) in this CCTV-ridden area.

Found today whilst another caching bash with Everlasting. Number 14 of 23 for the day.
Great spot for a cache!

Finally come back and spotted with beautiful colourful - with Beakers Bunce - signed the log. Thanks Tanzanite.

Bit suss getting this one with a truck with tools in the back parked infront of it but lucky no muggles tftc

Another find for the day TFTC

Found by mini miss. Left a guitar pick

Easy find tyftc

FOUND IT and its on utube TFTC

Nice hiding spot and nice container. Ruby red says it all!

nice little series, thanks.

Found with BlaKids while BK.I (and friend) got soaked at the volcano playground. Was expecting a magnetic nano but suprised to find a ruby red mint tin. Our third find for the day TFTC

School holidays. Out with with the geokids. Half stayed at the Volcano Playground - got wet when it 'erupted' - not good on a chilly 13 degree day. Nice series this one, I like the extra effort put in to decorate the cache containers. This was our first find after dropping off the kids. Just goes to show that camouflage is not always needed. Thanks Tanzanite! for your extra effort.

What a pretty case!

Out on a caching run to pick up some more of my unfound caches in this area.

Had done the other cache to the south first before doing a circuit around the play area to get to this cache. Found without problems even with the muggles continually walking by and one muggle grandmother reading in a car nearby. The volcano was smoking when I first arrived but had stopped by the time I got the log signed. Love what you have done with the container.

Thanks Tanzanite! for the cache.

We have been here so often and not thought to look!! The volcano was packed today so glad we could reach it from outside. TFTC!

That Is a very beautiful cache! And also my 300th find! Tftc

Out and about with AmstradKid and Jazl the wonder dog. We parked close to GZ, the GPS'r had us at a certain spot, but came up empty first time. Hmmm... the hint certainly did not help, the GPS'r resettled and gave us a new GZ, AK came up with the goods, SL TFTC Tanzanite

Found it with Keego after a few searches in other areas.

Heading out on a glorious Sunday for a Belmont day, this was our tenth find of the morning, and by far the trickiest retrieve. We found the cache easily enough, but given the gorgeous weather, the area was teeming with muggles. Managed to grab it and put it back without being discovered, though. Or, at least, we're pretty sure we did!

TFTC!!

Nighttime is the best time torches make it shine

After many searches we got it

It's definitely there. And it's really cool!!! TFTC. probably helped that we did this one at night. Torches really lit it up nicely. Ha ha!! Reminds me of a cache I made a while back called Hassett Been Found. Made that one under a previous geoname ThaBoyz which i can't access anymore. SL TNLN..

Only searchd from one side but couldnt see or feel this where it should be???

when to see if i could find this one but it was not there

Muggles! Muggles everywhere! No chance to look around. Think I may have spotted where it should be... Another day maybe.

Nope! Didn't have much time as I had to go and catch a plane. But I couldn't see anything metallic in front of the bin.

Geokids loved this park when they were little and it bought back found memories for them. Thanks for the hide. lots of muggles in the area and had to wait quite a long time to retreive the cache. TFTH

This one has been haunting me for the past week with many failed attempts due to the muggles around during the day time... so on the way to the gym tonight i decided that i was going to finally find it... Only took about two minutes and i had the thing in hand tftc

Went to find this one, but too many people, so will have to come back...

Well the slipper has been resoled and is back in situ for anyone wishing to seek it out.

As per previous finders log, the cache is damaged and is currently at the shoe repairers getting fixed. Will hopefully be back in action soonish...

Tftc

TFTc one of the magnets is off, overheard a lady telling her kid to '' stay away from the wierdo's" really enjoyed the series.

Quick find among the muggle workers in my urban camo shirt
TFTC

easy find for flikaswitch when no one was around! loved this series TFTC.

Very fun afternoon caching with my friend cachemeifyoucan. TFTC

Spotted this container pretty quickly as its sparkly rubies flashed amongst the green. There was a gardener to the left of gz tidying up the area and moving along the fence line. We replaced the container at same spot but a bit lower behind some greenery in the hope that she didn't spot it while pruning. We loved the containers Tanzanite and you have inspired us to come up with a series which encourages us to be a bit more artistic in the preparation of our conatainers.

Came by this afternoon on a rainy day, and the park was still packed! Initially I picked the wrong metal object to search, but as soon as I readjusted slightly the cache was quickly spotted.

I think that's the prettiest mint tin I've ever seen Thanks for the cache Tanzanite!

The GeoSqueaks love a bit of bling! What fun, thanks!

Great fun for the geokids. They had so much fun finding this series. Thank You!!

Again, surprised its not been muggled. Very cool cache and an awesome park to boot. I may have to sneak in one time and climb that volcano sometime

TFTC, and showing me an 'gem' of a park!

Very nice thanks.

In the city overnight, so I went caching before breakfast. TFTC

Took a bit of pokin around, but got there dyer a couple of minutes. Enjoyed the 'wizard of oz' series, thanks!

A bit of hunting, but found it. TFTC.
