Well if the playground is gone no point in keeping the cache listing open as all surrounding area is under the airport and caches can't be placed. Thanks to all that found it.

Gone

This cache and the playground has gone.

Big sad! Walked all this was for the playground to have been dismantled and no cache in site!!

Heading home today so up early to watch the sunrise prior to commuting to the airport TFTH

lovely little abandon park thanks
cache missing its lid

Quick easy find post plane spotting at Shep’s Mound. Does need to be more weather proof. TFTC!

TFTC very easy find but it is open to the weather and damp needs TLC very sad little park but it gave me a good walk

Got it

Find # 8264
Nice quick find.
We found this cache while waiting for another member of the Neighbs to arrive at the airport.

A quick easy grab while visiting my brother.. converted another muggle

very easy find

Cover is broken, I found part of it on the ground nearby - tried to secure it as best I could. Logbook was dry though. Last cache of a memorable trip to Sydney, sad to be leaving. Tftc!

A quick stop and sign. There is a playground here. How strange is that.

Warning, this hobby can be addictive. It can lead to exercise, meeting new people and finding interesting places you might not have known existed otherwise. Beware: you may have fun.

Thanks for the cache. Merci la cache. Danke für den Cache. Gracias por el caché. Bedankt voor de cache. Kiitos kätköstä. Zikomo posungira. Terima kasih untuk cache. Hvala cache. Köszönöm a cache. Nga mihi mo te keteroki. Dankie vir die kas.

Nearly ran into a few spiderwebs but found it pretty quick

No trouble locating the cache as it is in plain sight with no cover. I added my name to the paper and spotted the cover on the ground, so I added it to the top, but it is not secure or weather tight by any means.

When the CO gets a chance, it could use some tlc.

Cheers Morley196.

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

An airport pickup at 1pm, so I am taking the opportunity to find a few caches in an area I rarely visit. This was a great find. There is no cover on the logsheet, so I will wonder if it will not get too soggy after a bit of rain.
TFTC.

We found the geocache first try. It has no lid on it and might need one!

there's a playground in the middle of nowhere. the cache can be assessed from outside the playground. it needs a lid because there is a wet logbook

Found it

Dry, no lid. Good clues.

Quick easy find with the geo crew, log is soaked! TFTC! #NeilClan

Quick easy find after a helicopter ride lid/top is missing so log is wet, tftc signed The Neil Clan

Soaked signed The Neil clan .bright daughter’s out for a helicopter day, awesome ty

A great way to kill a bit of time while waiting for the international flight. I had to go from domestic, so caught the Blue Emu and did a little walking. Quick find, but the log is a bit exposed (no lid). Thanks for sharing the fun.

Two of my kids have been to Yamba for a week of school holiday fun. As they were coming back into Sydney today, I took the opportunity to have the day off and enjoy a bit of caching with fitzy_1965 before their flight got in.

We targeted a few virtuals and traditionals along the way.

All caches found quickly and easily unless otherwise mentioned.

28,319. Found with minniek during a short visit to Sydney this afternoon.

We had to pick some people up from Sydney airport this afternoon, so we took the opportunity to grab some caches in an area we haven't cached around before. For a Tuesday afternoon it was very busy around the whole area. School Holidays I guess, plus the usual traffic around a busy port. This cache was a nice quick find once we were at GZ. Stamped the log, replaced the cache as found, then headed back to the car and the next cache.

Thanks Morley196 !! Thanks for bringing us to this location.

Thank you. Tionne & pj xx

Easy find! No weather protection though. Thank good the rain has held off!

Found it! This is mah first Geocache. A friend of mine showed me this for the first time.

It looks like it needs some further weather protection as the pod is exposed.

Can’t wait to find more

ez epic find, was wet but still good to write on

Quick find, just got of the plane! The log book was absolutely drenched but I still managed to write on it. I think the lid came off or something.

Never seen one on that side of the thing before! Waterproof paper holding up well

Combining geocaching with planespotting at Shep's Mound down the road, this is a really nice little spot, if it a little neglected and overgrown. The playground is all locked up but you don't need to go in there... as I thought initially. The cache was very wet and would benefit from better protection. TFTC

I often drive past this area and wonder what the Airport Lookout and Shep's Mound are, and I also wonder how to actually get to this cache.
Some google satellite investigation and I could see a short detour and I'd be able to check out both, so this morning I turned off the main drag and started my 'tour'.

First stop was Shep's Mound which showed a much quieter airport than I was expecting today then I drove down to the cache, also very quiet with no one around.

The co-oordinates were spot on and the cache was a quick find, especially being as the lid was gone. I signed the sheet then checked in the long grass where I found the lid. People need to be more careful with these containers!
(Could do with some glue.)

Tftc, had to do a drop off at the airport , so taking the opportunity to collect a few new LGA's.
Quick find here container needs some TLC

Found it! Awesome clue.

Found with nosmada and Samantharogers

Found in "plane" sight
TFTC

A quick find after work

Great clue

Easy Peasy TFTC Thanks fornmakinh our day

TFTC

Found it! Exactly where the hint said, such a great hiding spot

Fantastic thank you, never even knew about the playground. Hunted for it while waiting for my wife to take off the NZ

Did not find it. The park is now locked up and over grown! Sad really and hopefully only temporary as was thinking it's handy to know for the future to bring the kids too

first time finders, we enjoyed it ??

Over in Sydney for work and being out and about at various locations, I did a quick check of my map to see what’s nearby.

The cache was found after a brief hunt, signed and replaced as found.

Many thanks to Morley196 for placing and maintaining Waiting Games. We were here at 2:29 pm on Thursday and this is my find 9258.

Got to the airport way early to pick up my daughter and decided to wait up in the area away from the usual waiting areas. Opened up my app to see what’s around. Oh, just up the road! Parked up and I was amazed at the beautiful huge Moreton Bay Fig trees all around. Then towards the GZ, and how bizarre is this playground? Looks very unloved and strange to have the growth around the fenced off area. Have to say that it was an Insta find for me today, a familiar hide with a design twist! Nice hide! FP for the effort!

SLTFTC

Playground closed, but cache still accessible! Byo pen. Tftc!

Arrived at night 23:30 and the gate was locked, but even if it was open there were tons of spiders, quite big size too. I could cound from far more than 10! So ill leave it for another time

Found a couple of months ago. Just catching up on logging.

1st cache, and 1st log for 2021

Found in the rain. Tftc.

Quick, easy find. Tftc

Cute cache ️

Great cache! Been passing here for years and took the time to find with new geo buddy

Came out geocaching with 6 yr old, first find of the day... large scary looking pink jelly fish was bobbing very close near by.. tide must have been super high today too.. TFTC.

Change cache to better designed one. the place has been run down since the rental place has taken over.

Found it still in it’s correct home. Replaced the wet log.

TFTC

Wow nice cache construction favorite point for that log is wet TFTC

Great container, too wet to sign unfortunately.

Found out the papers wet

Found on the 9/6/20

Found by Elfon29 couldn't sign the paper as the paper is wet

Great cache. TFTC

Amazing hide awesome job at that one, pretty easy with the hint

Super impressive custom-made cache - thought it might be off limits with the playground closed at present but it's still accessible. And plenty of bush turkeys and rabbits around to say hi to as well! TFTC

Quick and easy. Made sure to disinfect my hands afterwards

Clever! Found! Great instructions.

Cool cache first thing we touched!

Super creative really likes this one
TFTC

Quick park and grab if you follow the hint

TFTC...... visiting your great country and doing some caches before we go home early because of covid-19. Visiting from Saskatchewan Canada

Really cleaver hide. TFTC

Wow nice sneaky cache!!! At first we thought it was the wooden posts! Love it!!

TFTC but beware of spiders!

Quick find without the hint.... and the hint really gives it away! Nice hide- looks home made..... 3D printer? TFTC

Like this type of hide. Great container.
TFTC Morley196

Would have been searching a while without the hint. TFTC

Good hunt

Lol

TFTC

Quick stop off after dropping some friends late in the evening. It took a while but was soon in hand. TFTC

Had a long time to wait in Sydney before next flight so thought I'd attempt this cache with a very apt name.

This cache took a little while but I ended up successful.

So smoky!

TB's visited.

Nicely constructed cache in a little-known area. I was put off at first by the locked gate but the cache was still accessible. Cool stuff! TFTC.

We found it! Leaving a$1 behind for the next finder:)

Nice cache fav for effort. TFTC

Very clever location, not to mention it was very secluded! TFTC

Cute find. First one I have found like it. Worth the 3km walk before my conference starts to log this little beauty. TFTC

New container and log.

Had 5 minutes to wait so nice quick find! Tftc

I was staying near the airport for my last night in Oz, and wanted a last cache too. A mess of fences, roads without pedestrians access, and road works, with the level headed cache blocked off completely. I took a long walk to this one (complication of inner and outer roads and a fence between them). I’ve found caches as a pedestrian at multiple airports, but this has been one of the worst. But thanks to the CO for a happy experience once I got on the right road. TftC.

Coords are spot on. TFTC!

Last cache before our flight, park was locked but could still access the cache.
