Well, a recent cache check has confirmed that the council has ripped up the fence that the cache was attached to, so I am forced to archive this listing

We decided to take the kids to a new playground, and while they played (under the supervision of the geowife) I took the geopups for a walk around the park. I walked up to GZ and instantly spotted something "out of the ordinary", so had CIH in under a minute. I TNLNSL, then replaced the container and headed on my way. TFTC!

Out and about today and needing a find for my calendar, I chose those this hide. The coordinates were spot on and I soon had the cache in my hand. A very enjoyable micro. Well done NazzoR.

Out with pdbunce & Footyfanatics on an extremely hot summer Sunday. I enjoyed this one although was clearly wrong about how to approach this one. Twisting is not the answer apparently. Never fear no damage sustained to cache. Signed log and replaced. No TB evident. My 100th unique find. Such fun...

Was nearby today, so I stopped off and grabbed this one. Easy find. Nice container.

It was a beautiful evening so we stopped by at this pleasant park on the way home from work to pick up a couple of caches. It’s a very well-constructed container and I had no problem opening it to find the cache therein. We signed the log on the reverse side as the ruled obverse is basically full. Thanks NazzoR, a great experience.
 
13-Dec-12
We loved this one, found quickly but so clever. Thanks for the cache NazzoR.

After completing the lost cache, headed to GZ at where I spotted something out of place. Ahh, must be it, how do you access it? Ohh, that underneath comes off, rotate it, I can hear something inside and see it through the hole that the thing came out of. Hmm, how? Can't break it, looks like,Ohh hang on, thats what you do. The secret door moves out of the way. Cool cache! SL TFTC

Came to find this in the dead of night. Spotted the cache pretty quick, but took a few tries of open it! TFTC x

Such a cute cute cache. Very clever but we nearly broke it trying to figure out how to open it. Found with Snorris and Paulyman. TFTC!

We were having a family picnic less than 50 meters from the cache! Made a quick find with snorris and marachup. TFTC.

Sent the GeoKids to the park for a play, while GeoGrandma & myself headed over to GZ. Spotted something straight away & soon (in between several jogging & walking muggles) had CIH. TFTC.
 
26-Aug-12
Arriving at GZ, I see something just not right and guessed it would be the cache. Plenty of Muggles walking past here on a sunny afternoon. TFTCM

Reperio at 0925.

Came by this one on a morning of caching before heading to the Geocaching NSW AGM event in Carlingford. Parked quite close, and soon spotted the likely cache as soon as I arrived. Thinking I was just about to have to head back to the car for some tools, the cache opened up nicely...and I was soon signing the log. A very nice cache.

Gratias NazzoR.

A hard one to unlock
With a slight of hand and a twisted face, and an ugly sight it was, I had the log signed and replaced.
Camo left as it should be.

We where on our way to another cache which was a mystery we had recently solved and en route we checked the logs and found it was disabled so we turned around and changed course for our nearest unfound and ended up with here on dusk. We parked and hoped out to find a couple of muggles jogging but they soon passed. We found the co-ords for GZ very good as we spotted some thing with out the correct IP rating but found the log dry. After a small amount of manipulation we removed the cache from its camo. We did not see the listed travel bug. We completed the signing duties and replaced the nice little hide. TFTC

Found whilst on a quick night spree Smile

This one was easy to spot, but harder to open Sad eventually got there. TFTC

I like your thinking.

Needed a cache to keep the mini-streak alive so braved the miserable weather and headed across to West Pennant Hills, an area I lived in for many years. Fortunately there's a path to GZ so avoided squelching across the soggy field. Found something that shouldn't be out in the weather, but how to open it? Ah, easy and with no real force, once you work in the right plane. SL - thanks.

No tools are need here, as demonstrated by Satanas 666, I always thought he was bent and twisted.

Thanks NazzoR.
 
12-May-12
We first looked there but couldnt open the thing then we tried again and it opened it was really quite tricky but we managed.
 
12-May-12
Caching with dinkyfish and ninjaflower. DF spotted the cache but needed confirmation. If it was the cache how do you open it? Had to take a break as a few walking muggles happened by and another with a dog decided to sit right next to GZ. He left before too long and we were able to solve the puzzle. TFTC.
 
12-May-12
found it, but wasn't quite sure if it was it. We fumbled with it for a while but wasn't sure how to open it. Had to wait around while a muggle took his time getting into his car. On second try, we managed to get this opened. Nice cache! Thanks for the effort put into this one!

Clever hide. Thought we had it, then nearly gave up, but persistence paid off.

Tricky

Needed a calendar find today, so on my way home, I drove past this place. Lucky I had my torch, as it was well and truly dark. I parked and walked over to GZ. Started searching and kept coming back to one thing, but What...How... After a little checking I found the cache, VERY nicely hidden in the camo! I SL and replaced.

Well done NazzoR on another hide and congratulations on reaching 100 finds. TFTC.

We parked within metres of GZ, worked out where we thought it would be, found something very “cachey”, and then the real puzzle began – how does one open it? Are we sure that’s the actual cache? Yes, what else would it be? And again: how does it open????
After a few minutes it all became clear, got to love those light bulb moments! SL, TNLN. Thanks for an ingenious cache NazzoR.
 
11-Apr-12
We were the second finder today and, even hough we were sure we knew what the hide was, it still took us a few attempts to unlock the secret! It is very convincing, NazzoR!

SL & replaced - TFTC - I'll give it a Favourite Point!

Found by Nanny and Bo on a warmish Easter Monday.
Indeed a different hide of the sort we have seen before. So It was a quick find for us.

I wanted a find today and this new cache was within my 5km radius. Pulled up in the car park and wandered over to gz for a quick find. A very neat and enjoyable find.

Well this was a surprise publication late last evening but by the time I clicked the link it had been found, not by the usual suspects but a Victorian cacher! Right place at the right time or what?

Anyway I needed a find for today and it was nice for one to be reasonably close to home. Returned to the scene of many a kids' soccer game and frog hunt and found ample parking with soccer season not started yet.

Scanned the area using only the Samsung Galaxy SII (is that more annoying than saying "iPhone"?) as I'd left the Garmin behind and my searching led me to a promising spot. Something looked normal to the non-geocacher eye but as someone with a find or two I suspected something and eventually worked it out. Surprisingly signed the log as 2TF, where is everyone today?

Thanks! A lot of effort in this one. Good work.

*FTF* YAY! Big Grin

Visiting the inlaws for the Easter W/E - I get an unexpected alert for a new cache. However it's some 25 clicks away, Mmmm no I'll give this one a miss - then a short time later another goes off BUT this time within 5 clicks from home - I was off in a flash with the geo-gf navigating.

We make good time despite a Sunday driver taking his/her time [:(!] I was starting think it was a fellow cacher but Anyway we arrive on site to find an empty carpark - We waste no time and start treking in towards GZ - Mmmm no flash lights ....very very quite & still night, we continue on and the Garmin Beeps alerting us that we are close to GZ we take a quick look around for fellow cachers but it is obvious we are on own. Soon a neat and well worked hide was spotted with spot on coords!!

Thx NazzoR for a well thouht out hide.
