Cache hidey hole is gone and hasn't been replaced with a suitable new one. Thanks all.

Walked past today.
New playground is complete but old cache and hide are gone.
Recommend archive and then do a new listing as the area has changed and thus the caching experience will also.
Cheers

From CPwanderers log it sounds like the playground that this cache called home may have been removed or be getting replaced. Will disable it for now to avoid wasting anyone's time until I find some time to quickly check it.

Thanks All

Arrived at the GZ to find a large area fenced off and the remains, in one corner of the fenced off area, of some kind of structure. GZ according to our GPSers was right in the middle of the no-go area. Will watch this one with interest.

Going by the cache logs I thought this cache would be in an Alcatraz-level cell, I even went the trouble of stealing my housemate's screwdriver. But there was no need, can be found and accessed without tools. Very clever hide, had a few of wooly's before and they always prove to be in a sneaky spot and are great at getting you thinking. Never in the obvious place.

Searched playground and surrounding benches and trees. Also couldn't see any parts of the playground that could be disassembled. This is my first time geocaching so maybe I'm just not looking in the right places.hopefully I can find it next time.

We found a black tie that we think it may have one been tied too. Disappointing.

Found it third time lucky. On our way to the barossa so stopped again to look and we found it. Tftc!

It has taken me months to find this cache. The co-ordinates aren't quite right. They are out by a few metres but still in the playground.

Second time back (with Tombawun and Kinderninja) and after having a read of some of the logs it was a quick find this time! Perfect end to a great night! TFTC!

3rd tine back with friends. Tessie G figured it out.

Found with hero hubby. Thanks.

Had to get a friend to dial a friend to get this one.
Not my favourite style of hide!

Not happy having to pull the playground equipment apart to find this. Needs better hint

Set out with earthlight to grab 12 caches so i can hit my milestone tomorrow on our first year anniversary of caching, it took way longer than it should have but we got our 12 finds in the end after trying to avoid the rain that wasn't really letting up to much so tomorrow we celebrate : ) this one had me going around in circles checking here there and everywhere, as i phoned a friend i put my hand on the prize.TFTC

Took quite a bit of searching whilst we searched every nook and cranny.
3LG was the lucky finder in the end.
TFTC and it was dark and muggle free tonight.

Next time...

Second time looking and still can't find it. Is it just me or is this cache really hard? Better luck for us next time when we decide to look again.

Very tricky! TFTC

excellent hide. Had to ditch the leaky pen so couldn't sign the log

Clever hide, the park itself was a nice find let alone the cache! Thanks.

Sneaky!

Found after tennis. Very sneaky Wooly. Nearly pulled the wool over eyes! TFTC.

Aaargh, it was our folly to not read the description, just go to the nearest cache. A playground, one of the worst hides for us ( a nano on a cannon or train might be worse ). Thank goodness there were no mini muggles or sporty ones around.

TFTC

Found it, but didn't have a pen someone, put one in!

10539 caches found

another play ground, lucky we were the only ones here

took : nothing
left : nothing

Thanks for the cache Woolly_

Took a while, was very well hidden!

A lovely park in a hidden away spot. The cache was quickly spotted with 3 GPSr's on the job as opposed to the dnf one of the finders had previously had when searching in a different spot. TFTC Woolly.

Brisal5, Mrs Aussie M&M and Owl were out on a caching adventure and bathroom fixture search. This was owl's second attempt at this cache - the first time it was infested with tennis players. (How dare they attempt to be healthy!) This time Brisal5 was able to narrow down the search area and Owl made the find reasonably quickly. Sneaky little hide - simple, but effective.

There were no kids in the playground, which helped greatly. There was a screaming child in the childcare centre close-by. Thankfully the screamer was not an issue for me today. Thanks Woolly for the hunt.

A quick find while the geo-wifey is playing netball. TFTC

A sneaky hide! Found with the geo hubby after losing 26-43 at leagueball only a few streets away TFTC

Log book replaced. Cache in correct position and good to find.

Thanks

Found this is one of my most difficult due to it always having muggles and the construction work that was going on, FINALLY FOUND, you will need a tool i.e. Flat head screw driver to locate, also needs a new log book. TFTC

New log book is needed ASAP

The coordinates were off because GZ was in the middle of the playground. Searched for a while to no avail. I'm surprised this cache was allowed so close to a playground and some kind of daycare facility. This kind of cache is routinely denied in Canada.

Had no tousle accessing this one and fortunately it was too hot for any little muggles to be out. The gps was a bit skittish but eventually led us to the correct spot. As previously mentioned, logbook needs replacing.

The area was blocked off, so it was impossible to get to.

Nice day for a ride n find a hide
Unfortunately I couldn't get to your hide due to construction and fences
Will have to try again one the area is accessible again

New paper log is needed, as the current small scroll is full.
Cheers

Have been past a few times when clearing out the old home nearby, but everytime I went past there were tots playing or tennis players playing.
Today, it was a cold wet Friday afternoon, which meant I had the 'Premier' park to myself.
It took a few minutes searching - I found a neat spot earlier on but no container, so continued on and widening my search. Finally spotted some similar spots and bingo had the cache in hand A good hiding place.
With it starting to pour I retreated to a nearby shelter to sign, on the last bit of blank area on the sheet I could find, before making a dash to return and a dash back to the car (as I hadn't realised I could park so close to GZ).
Leaving I couldn't help think - "Where is the river?" with the tennis club incorporating Riverside into their name.
TNLN, TFTC Woolly_

Cheers

This one made it to our run sheet again today, but on arriving at GZ, we found kids playing on the equipment .
We'll leave this one until the park is quiet again [8)].

Found with 2011*turtle. TFTC

Found it with vj187. Love the camo. TFTC

Spent over half an hour looking, had to wait til dark due to muggle tennis players but to no luck, i read others logs and still no luck, maybe oneday

In the big smoke for my sons exams, and my work but managed to fit in some caching too. This one had walking in circles before inspiration struck and I made the find.
Thanks

My caching buddy, the GOTH with purple hair was in town so it was time for a full days caching. . This had us searching in the rain for quite some time. I eventually found a hidey hole that looked possible but no cache. Mogni looked in a similar spot and turned up the cache. [:d] Great little hide. Well done Woolly. A fav from me.

Tftc, now I know what a bison tube is.

Found a few weeks ago at night after searching every inch of the park, walked away smiling with relief! TFTC.

A great hide!

Nice find while on a holiday around the area.

Thanks Woolly for helping make my visit fun!
SL TFTC

Was a tricky 1, thought we covered all similar places but guess we hadn't, TFTC

Tftc

Great find. Few muggles playing tennis. Left a small heart pendant

I think shonkylogic left some of his magic here: when I arrived this morning the GPSr went every which way and wouldn't settle. Anyway I decided on a location and checked an obvious feature that the GPSr seemed comfortable with - no luck. I then read the cache description, hint and logs and changed the search area. The bison tube was soon in hand.

Thanks for the cache Woolly.

Had a lovely shonky experience while out caching with Craig today. Thanks to Woolly_

On the homeward leg of my bike ride and no one here today. Had a good look around but couldn't come up with the goods. Thought i'd have another look around before leaving and checked one last spot and bingo there it was, what a relief, its finally off my list

Wow, took an epic hunt even without anyone around, almost demoralized, we too had to sit down an let the clues sink in. Oh how much more satisfying the find is after almost being defeated! So many places to hide too! TFTH!

Found at 13:17 during a short lunchtime run.
A man was just leaving GZ as I arrived, but no gps, so I assume he was just a weirdo, unlike mewho was wandering around a playground looking at my "phone"

Clever one Woolly. I felt like a monkey crawling all over the assorted toys until I found GZ. Glad there were no local kids around but wish i had taken some on the hunt! TFTC.

Luckily it was found quickly tftc

Found whilst out with Polky and missmad. Tftc

This one was too good for us today, even in daylight and a read of the logs [|)].
We'll be back to look again another time.
Thanks Woolly_.

Had a little help with this one from my lovely lady.

I searched and searched for this cache as I had the playground to myself. I still couldn't locate the pesky thing. This ended up being 2/3 DNFs in a row. TFTH

TFTC Took a few mins but eventually successful. Out with Sparkey25.

A coupe of caches on the way home from the Beachhouse. Tftc

I washed up on the pinebark shores,
Beyond the ocean of blue tennis courts.
The island was deserted !!

I searched around the metal trees,
And the bridges in between,
The cache was nowhere to be found [:o]

The island was keeping its secret,
I was a geocaching castaway,
Where was that juicy prize ?

Another walk around the shore,
Helped me get my thinking straight,
And very soon I held aloft a caching coconut

TFTC.

Needed the hint, then found pretty quickly TFTC

Last one for the day and were about to give up when we tried one last spot that matched the clue and bingo, nice hide TFTC

The first challenge with finding this cache is to find the entrance to the park. We did a blockie. The second challenge was the cache but fortunately there was noone else here today and we were able to search without interruption. Mrs S found it using the hint.

Thanks Woolly

Our first cache since we temporarily moved into this area! Very glad we found it after a long break in geocaching! GPS showed us the location quite accurately, especially using satellite type map! Nice hide, TFTC!

A 12/12/12 find as WeLoveBurritos. This was a tricksy one but fun on the find. TFTC.

Sneaky cache!!! We were boggled by this one for a while! Found it by sheer luck, dunno how anyone found it by sitting down!! Deceptive!

Sat down on the grass which was more like a thousand needles and signed the cache log in an empty play ground.

Cache in good condition log has room left.

Happy 12-12-12 and TFTC.

- WLB.

No 11 for me today so far, seen one of these earlier to day but I stll made it harder than I should have by coming in from the wrong direction,tftc

For some reason, Daddy kept calling me 'Camo' while I was playing here. For the record, my name's Maxy, not Camo. TFTC.

Found by Mr & Mrs M-SEZ on another kid-free cache date.

This took us quite a search before we finally found it. The GPS wouldn't settle down on anything that looked right. However, after we had a thorough read, we figured it out. TFTC

With Sir Maxy providing the perfect kid cover (important during kindy hours!), Mr O was able to find this one at his leisure. Even then it took a while to find the cleverly-hidden cache, which could've been at any number of locations! TFTC.

Found today 26/11/12 new paper added also.

Must admit took a while to find, but main thing is we found it.. Miss GG and her wondering fingers found it..

Great Sneaky hide... Thanks for the cache Woolly

We had looked in all the obvious spots but it wasn't till we sat down to have a read of the logs when we spotted it TFTC

No one around after a car left as we arrived. We saw that it had been missed by a couple of caches but we thought we would give it a go. Muff1 spotted where it lay. Great hide Woolly.

Yipee, found. With three DNF's in a row we were not hopeful of a find. It must have been our Queens sland eye's that led us to the find. The cache lays safe and sound in it's hide waiting for the next finder. SL TFTC

Looked for ages

Sometimes you just have to admit defeat!

I had four DNF's in a row to start today.
This was one of them.

Greetings from Tasmania

Found this cache while on a caching trip to Adelaide. Found some great caches while there including a 5 difficulty traditional (I'm a Bastard 2), a 4 terrain traditional (Tapleys Bird) and many great hides in great locations through out Adelaide. Thank you Adelaide cachers for planting so many good caches. My wife did ask me to pick a favourite, and I think Besser Block Mail Box would have to be it, by Tamam Shud, Zen and the Art of Geocache Maintenance and the two above would be up there as well.

I did manage to find 250+ caches in the 5 days I had caching in Adelaide, and would like to thank Astro and Freddo for taking me on a night cache on the first day and Astro for giving me a couple of hints on some that I was stuck with.

Let me apologies for the generic log, especially if I have found more than one of your caches.

A few tennis muggles at the other end of the park, but far enough away not to be a problem! Quick search in the empty park and the cache was in hand. Great hide, TFTC Woolly!

This cache brought back memories of playing tennis and doing battle for hours on hot Saturday afternoons in summer. Two blokes were fell on arguing on a nearby court so they ignored me. TFTC and the memories!

Found on way to work, in the dark still.
Eluded me for a lil while, as coords had me on the otherside at a different structure.
Nice hide
Thanks, log is a lil full also

Found It!
Having done a similar cache earlier today I knew what I was looking for and soon found it!
TFTC

Dodging tennis muggles but I thing they were more interested in their game set and match

This took two visits a couple of weeks apart. Searched for ages on the first visit, literally only seconds today. Obviously there weren't too many places left to look. Thanks for the cache Woolly!

Called by this morning on the way to work but the phone would only say 20m, maybe the fog?

Came back tonight on the way home and made the find.

For those who have done my GDTA series of caches, this is the one of the clubs not to get a cache, not sure why but we rarely came here.

TFTC

Nice n tricky, love it

Great hide. Need to look for other areas not similar, then bingo!! TFTC

I came here last week looking for this cache ... and found that there must have been a school holiday tennis carnival on. Tennis muggles and spectator muggles everywhere!!!

Had a quick casual look then ... but had to abandon as any longer look would have looked suspect!

As the school holidays are now ended I decided it should be safe have another go at this one.

Got there at lunchtime and the place was deserted. Fantastic!

Wow ... there are a lot of places around here where a cache could be hidden!! However, after looking in many likely locations ... almost giving up ... then the cache mojo must have kicked in, and I found this tricky, clever hiding spot.

Added the Seek3rs sticker and date to the log.

TNLN TFTC

It took me a while to find it. Lucky for me because I got the playground to myself. Good hide.

Thanks Woolly_ for the cache.

No muggles on the park in this rainy weather, took a while to find the cache but eventually geokids got it, Friday the 13th but nothing unlucky about today for us!
