Chrissy Gollan Park Polka II Wingham, New South Wales, Australia
By Grahame Cookie on 09-Dec-12. Waypoint GC41WZD

I have been meaning to chat with the construction foreman But will let this pass.

Will check on the progress of the fenced off area around the bridge when I come back from New Zealand in THREE (3) weeks.

Couldn't spot any different holes above the 4. There does seem to be some recent repair works though so potentially been covered up.

Had a look at it but wasn't up to the climb at my young age. Thanks for showing me the nice view of the river tho.

DNF

Find # 10026Nice quick find as we could see it from a distance. Retrieval was made easy with a 4.8m TOTT that we brought with us. TFTC Grahame Cookie 25 December 2023 10:52

Quick to find but a bit more difficult to actually get to. TFTC!

TFTC. Lovely old bridge, had fun climbing for this one. Found with Miltsy92, MF428, Shaneoyo, & Lookoutlexiisabout

TFTC. Took a while to find. After taking a few steps back we spotted the cache from ground level & made the climb. OCW MF428, Shaneoyo, MTB051 & Lookoutlexiisabout. Dropped off a TB.

TFTC. Great climb. OCW Miltsy92, MF428, Shaneoyo & MTB051.

We nearly gave up on this one, but needless to say, it wasn't exactly directly above the 4, but still required some substantial climbing. TFTC. Great adventure.

Thank you, Grahame Cookie, for placing this cache for our enjoyment.

Staying around the district for a couple of days and collecting a few caches before travelling south to Victoria.

Thanks Grahame Cookie for getting this short person out of their comfort zone, my goodness, it had my heart rate going towards the top to sign the log ‍

Drove under the car under bridge for this one. Had to use the ladder to retrieve and replace after signing log. TFTC

Our seond in the Wingham area. Not sure exactly where it is supposed to be, but we saw it easily enough. Drove the Lux down, under the bridge and luckliy we had the ladder with us, so it was an easy retrieval. TFTC.

Found today with my Brother and Dad on the drive to our event in Diamond Head, we had a nice time caching around the Taree/Wingham area, getting 11 caches in total and nearly 4 years unloved on one of them!

#5591
We were on the way to our event and camping at Diamond Head, so decided to cache our way there through the Taree/Wingham area and surrounds. Beautiful weather (for a change!) in beautiful countryside made for a great start to the weekend, ending the day with a dozen finds and a single DNF. We'll surely back with a more svelte team and vehicle for some higher terrain offerings, hopefully before too long.
We found it where the last finders did - waist height. Reading the hint I could imagine where it was hidden, I'd prefer a ladder to put it back there, I did elevate it above head height though, more for flood mitigation! The CO might want to visit and correct the placement..... TFTC...

Found with my Dad and brother on the way to our event...

### ***TFTC!!*** ###

TFTC

Guessing this one has fallen down from somewhere as was found at waist height with no climb required. We have signed log and messaged CO but not sure where it was meant to be returned to so have just left where we found it. TFTC

A solo jaunt today in flat soled boots so I can see that sucker but am not game to make the climb. Don't want to bring the hunt into disrepute by being the smelly corpse that fell in the attempt will be back with reinforcements to bag the prize!

Found with Grub Fred. It would be a terrible flood if that got washed away. Celebrated with a beer at the local Bolo. TFTC Grahame Cookie. A favourite.

Find No: 8443. Visiting from Newcastle with shaneo58, staying at Forster tonight, thanks for the cache Grahame Cookie!!

Nope, still hiding away, and not touched by the latest flooding.

Possibly washed away in floods

Great find

Well hidden! Great cache!

Found with eemiaj while caching around the Taree area. Not as hard as it looks really, cute little pen. Signed log as BE5150.TFTC.

The 'notso waterproof' cache container remained wedged in place during the 20th March floods. So I'm replacing the damaged and dried log sheets, with a new mini-notepad.

PLEASE don't put the pencil into the ziploc bag!

Wouldn’t have founded it without the hint. The paper wasps put me off the last section so we settled on just spotting the geocache.

Saw where it would be but no way we were climbing up to get it with Sosillyadventures.

We think we found it but couldn’t get to it this trip. Will try again at a later date

Very clever hiding spot

Gotta say we had to use a hint but once we knew, we knew

Found tyftc. Having a week caching our way from newcastle to brisbane. Find #1/1522. Tough time.

In the area with kingfisher_au for a funeral and on the way back home decided to grab a cache or two. After taking the wrong approach we retraced and soon had the cache in sight, A short climb later and the log book was being signed. Great to see a working wind mill here in the park. Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache. a favorite point from me.

unfortunately we were in the area due to a funeral of a close friend and decided to pick up a cache as we were out of area , and we are on a souvenir streak so the stars aligned and pick this one on the way out and was not disappointed a well hidden and we thought out cache with a simple climb , a big thank you for placing and maintaining this cache fav from me

During a brief visit to Wingham we called by to search for this cache. After a quick look around we spotted something different then it was a quick up toward Ground Zero. A short while later and the log book was being signed. Thanks so much for the cache and greetings from Zimbabwe

Quick find after reading the clue, then the retrieval... wow, that was one to get the heart beating. Though as the hint says not as hard as it looks. TFTC

We found it but valued our lives so didnt retrieve it.

Found on a nice weekend up at Taree. Just the sort of thing you ned to do after retiring. Thanks For The Cache Grahame Cookie

Grabbed this one after visiting Wingham Brush with the family.
Probably the hardest cache I’ve had to “get” but an easy find.
Remember - hug, hug, grab and grab!
Took 20000 Rupiah and left $2.10! Thank you.
TFTC

Walking up to this one in the rain, we spotted it pretty quickly - retrieving it was a different matter. We slowly climbed up to the required level, and were only just able to reach the container - lucky it had a pen in it! Thanks very much for the adventure and the cache.

Quick detour to Wingham to tick off another map for Mini-Manning MAP's Challange.
Quickly spotted the hide and after a quick assessment, it took all of about 10 seconds to have the CIH.
Signing the log took a little juggling/balancing so as to not drop anything but got it done and returned the cache as found.

Scary climb but found it

Great spot!!! TFTC.

Tftc, the sketchiest one I've done so far!

Watch out for the swallows

found but couldn't reach!

Nice hide! A bit of effort required.

Lol. No chance with a cracking hangover today. Balance not up to this. Tempted to log as a find - it seems a heap of people have considered ‘spotting’ the location sufficiently equivalent to actually ‘finding’ it based on previous logs - but I’m not as cheeky as that.

We are on a mission to get our Terrain rating up for the D1.9/T1.9 challenge near Gloucester before mid June.

Walked down to GZ and soon had the container in sight, a bit of a climb later and we had the log signed.
Thanks for the cache

Tftc

Found a very log time ago with Michelle0568, just realised it never logged

Tftc
An arms length short
So glad it was no where near the wasp colony there must be thousands

Ray ray

Nope. Not this time. We could see the spot. No way for us to retrieve this one.

Not tall enough to reach but confident I could see it. Not keen on climbing .

??????

??

Very tricky...glad I had my husband and son there to climb up.

TFTC

Never had to climb that high to a cache TFTC

A bit scary for me. Good hide

Sneaky spot

Great spot

Really great find, worth a try but be careful it can be pretty slippery there sometimes

Checked all the easy spots then just looked. yep there it was.so agile I got and soon SL TFTC. Favorite point

Found it on second attempt. Could see it last time but being somewhat vertically challenged had to return with TOTT. Our human TOTT did the trick and the cache was ours! TFTC

Two just 5ft ladies can spot this easily but couldn't reach. Climbed as high as we could but no luck. Will be back with a TOT and a vengeance.

I was a bit apprehensive about the climb at first, but my 65+ year old legs took me up for what turned out to be an easier climb than I expected. Great cache hide.

Found it after lunch in the park. It helps being six foot four. No chance for us to find it without the clue this time. Cheers

Stash note for this cache seems to have found its way into "Darawank" (GC20Q1T) for some reason...

Wow

Found it but couldn't get to it! Was able to climb to get close - but not close enough. Will have to think about how we can get it...paper wasps not a problem.

TFTC, I needed the hint, then it was quickly spotted and a short climb later the log was signed.

That was fun

Tftc. A day off work today so a mate and I decided some caching and 4 wheel driving was in order. This was our first cache of the day. Tnsl, left some shells and Lara's dog tag.

Nice find

I didn't find this one but the beautiful park was well worth the trip.

Tftc let hubby climb this one
Spotted from the ground in a min

Nice hide. Tftc

We spotted this cache and attempted the climb to retrieve, but it felt dodgy to us with inadequate hand holds at that height, so we didn't retrieve it.

Way to hard for a 64year old. Tftc

That was fun... fantastic hide. Best one yet.
Totally agree on agility and shoes.

Great cache hide; loved sharing this cache with our boys who were all cheering Daddy on to retrieve the treasure! TFTC

This climb was higher than expected but with a personal cheer squad I couldn't let the team down! This was the first cache we'd taken my boys to find and they loved it. TFTC.

Thanks Cookie for a dare devil find. After walking thru 1 million wasps, i saw the cache and had a swear word or two... and although i dont consider myself agile, was able to retrieve the cache. Great fun with this because i survived. TFTC.

Woo hoo tough one..jen Josh Riles and Will

Tftc. Easy to find tricky to get out.
You're obviously adventurous

Tricky little climb hard spot

Found the box, was fun to climb.. Thank you!! -C+E

Thanks for the find! We took the 9yr old bead from Thailand and left 50c and my Star Wars movie ticket! Good find!

It was great to visit this lovely park that I have driven past a thousand times!! Loved the hiding spot - difficult but not too difficult Picked up the TB. Thank you

With the help of some spotters i was able to find this one. It was well camouflaged and we needed the hint. Making the coragious climb up i was able to add a smiley to this one. Dropped off a tb. It is a hope cancer tb and i thought this was a fitting place as you need alot of hope courage and support to counquer cancer and i would not have been able to complete this one without the assistance of my trusty geopartners.

Spanky Witchard and Co. MESSSSNJ! Great Find and Fun! Left a green hair bead all the way from Thailand (9yr Olds Braids)

Found with Mum and dad (Gazkersh and littlemissleft)
Log signed as Tilly
I am logging now as I have my own account.
Thanks.

Found with littlemissleft and Tilly

Quick climb and had cache in hand climbed down and signed log then returned to its location

One of the first of many climbing caches for the day thanks Grahame

Thanks for the cache

Found this mischievous cache today with Gazkersh and Tilly after giving the resident horses a bit of a pat It was fantastic to get this one after finding it had been muggled on our last attempt :O Signed log. Thanks for bringing us here again Grahame Cookie. Awesome cache

Found with Smoth, a cache with a little bit of daring for our Saturday. Cheers!
