As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been a number of months since the last owner note. I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it. Should you replace the cache after 30 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

Its been muggled alright. Just the cable tie remains, everything else is gone.

Found the log on the ground in open air but no container. Returned it to where I believe it should belong. Happy Friday and TFTC

I need to check on this. It sounds like it has been muggled again.

Looked in the obvious places then saw it out of the corner of my eye TFTC

Found the log but no container. Not sure if that's how it's supposed to be. TFTC

Found it! First one ever! This is awesome!

Yay!

Tyftc!

this was nicely hidden, cheers! I souldt have loved this playground when I was a kid.. too big as a big kid now though! tftc

Nice find!

Found it! Great hiding spot, a lovely sunday afternoon activity!

TFTC

TYFTC, A pretty well hidden cache, the clue took me a while to figure out but was good.

Nice sunny day find.

Stopped by after work. Found this fairly quickly - just checked the hint to confirm before retrieving the cache.

Another day, another cache, another spot filled in my "months hidden" table. Now 20 days in a row with finds and 84 hidden months found.

Kick out of house.... Im drive around to Southside for geo... easy found and hide well.. thank

Straight to the cache and quickly found and logged. Another muggle kid was there but my kids are an excellent anti muggle device

Another girl was there when we arrived, but we managed to get the log without attracting too much attention.

Dad used us as distractors as we subtly searched and grabbed this one.

Nice hiding spot. Thanks.

On a day like this I think I was lucky to have the fun to myself.

And I rode the slide )

This one was so much fun to do, daughter Vikki was deployed to capture it, I am just disappointed I didn't get to capture her descent

Quick and easy find. TFTC

Good find, forgot my pen so no note

TFTC

Set out to grab a couple of caches for the afternoon, no muggles at the park which made this one an easy find. TFTC

Glad no muggles in the playground at this time... signed the log. Thanks YRPsycho.

TFTC!

A nice easy find, no kids around during school days.

Another park grab with our grand child , he enjoys these caches . Thanks

Good one!!! Sorry to hear about the vandals. Good hide!!! And good on Niki for picking the place!!

Cheers, went looking for this a few weeks ago but this time round found
quite quickly BUT......

Found BUT this cache was just sitting there so I grabbed it, signed it and upon
placing it back into spot it fell into the crevice so I was unable to retreive it. Sorry but this
cache might to be looked at again.

Replaced again. Where the previous cache has ended up is cemented into the ground.

This was a nice little playground, but it has been vandalised. Sadly, when I turned up to do the maintenance, two teens had just finished trashing it... Again.

Look for the cable tie, it leads to the cache.

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Back in place. It's on the structure. You might need some reach.

I haven't completely forgotten about this. Just waiting for some bits to arrive. Should be back next week.

A third time muggled....

I will have to do something different.

8:19:00 AM:
No luck finding this cache.
I assume hint has been updated? but not sure if I'm looking in the right area

I had to wait for the right day, and minimal muggle (after it has been juggled twice).

It's on the same structure, just a different position. If the natural covering gets damaged, please find a suitable replacement (there is plenty in the vicinity). Please be sure the cache is not visible (make it hidden by the covering).

I don't like people that juggle caches! DYAC!

pretty easy, found it with likeabau5432 and taz102. TFTC!

It has gone missing again. I shall rethink this one.

No luck today, checked the most obvious spots. mmmm

EASY FIND

Quite easy. Taz102 and afofrashid360 came as well

Very clever hide. Found it with Gumby Maca. TFTC.

After a full afternoon meandering around the lake grabbing waypoints, we needed to score at least ONE cache today... and this was it! The cache itself was well positioned, and our compass got us to the exact spot. We left it at the height we found it, which we're guessing is a touch beyond Nikita's reach

Nice hide. Tftc

Tftc!

Puzzled about this one, read the description again, engaged brain and there it was, very clever. Tftc

I'll be honest, I had no intention of doing this cache today, but I had just parked in Bonython and to do Stranger on Athllon, and this one wasn't too far away. I had hoped to do it with littlest geokid who hates caching - play parks are a good way to occupy him.

When I read the clue and guessed at where it was hidden, I thought it was unlikely to be there as it was most likely muggled. Great subtle hide. Fav point from me. TFTC

Very clever way to hid the micro.

Love the hiding spot - very clever. Our geokid love the park and all the yellow flowers on the walk TFTC

Great spot for geokids although maybe not that friendly for them to find. Tftc

Great little cache!

I parked in a nearby street. Found cache within 2 minutes. No kids playing in this cold Canberra weather. Nice concealment. Thanks.

I have looked a few times, but today found it immediately. Even though I knew this had been muggled, I don't think I looked where it was found before. It was harder replacing it - mini muggles!

Replaced the container, inside a hide. Hopefully it will not be found by muggles as easily.

I didn't have a log, so the paper roll will have to do in the interim.


When Nikita was told her cache had gone missing, she got a little upset. I said " You know what this means though?", then with a big smile she said: "We can put another one there".

The beauty of a 4 year olds mind.

I thought I should check, as there were a few DNFs.

It's gone. Not sure what sort of person takes a 4 year olds cache.

I will get a replacement shortly and disguise it a little better.

It was my first attempt, I didn't know what a bison tube was, I did see a white foam tube about the length of a cigarette but it was damaged and looked more like rubbish

Couldn't find it! Didn't have to worry about people though at midnight. :/

Well, you got me beat! Might have to borrow a geocachelette & come back in daylight.

This was the fifth find I made today while biking in the area. A nice playground here, there was some weed spraying happening in the area so that made it difficult to grab the cache quickly. Got it in the end though. TFTC YRPsycho!

It was a quiet afternoon so decided to keep caching as the weather was just perfect. One of those special Canberra autumn days! The playground was empty which was great as it took me a while to find this cache, it was very well hidden. signed log and returned, grateful for not having to be careful around muggles which would have made this one really hard to get. TFTC

Nice hide. A little shine caught my eye and after signing the log had it back in its hide. All done with some neighbours who were cutting their trees back unaware of my presence the entire time. SL TFTC

TFTC very nice hide

Red and read but wet TFTC

So after grabbing "Keep It Up" we decided not to! It was time for a snack and a energy boost...so after refuelling the tanks we decided to take a break from the Chalk it Up series and have some "playtime".

Another hidden playground in the suburbs and with the sun well and truly setting we almost needed to break out the torches but Miss Stormcatcher spotted the little red treasure and we were on our way.

TFTC YRPsycho

No troubles nabbing this one, bar the snappy old dog near where I parked the car.

Thanks for yet another YRPsycho.

Well if I'm going that way I may as well go past the shops and obtain a bright shiny new pen so I can actually sign the log this time shouldn't I? It wasn't red - hope Nikita doesn't mind.

We were in the area delivering some goods close by, the rain was just falling when we arrived at GZ, quick search and find here, TFTC.

Final cache found on a big day of caching. Once again, no one was at the playground today - lucky! After a while of searching, we had to think a little outside the square. Then the cache was found. Great little hide as well. TFTC YRPsycho!

This one had me for a while. After about 5 minutes finally! TFTC and hooray noone was at the playground

The clue helped to get us looking in the right place, but took us looking for a while to claim the prize.
Tftc

Slightly neglected looking playground here and the cache did take us a bit of hunting, but we got it in the end.

TFTC!

We looked all over the structure, but had no luck.

First find on a bike ride down south on an afternoon caching.

I made the find despite not having the advantage allrounder has . TFTC

Found @ 2:51pm , the 1st of the 11 caches found on a ride with hccatcher11415, Liv81 and Shadow!

Liv81 and Shadow!, previous finders of this cache, wrestled with some flattish tyres while hccatcher11415 and I searched for this one. Surprisingly hccatcher came up with the find before I did!

Thanks YRPsycho

Out for a nice walk with Liv81 and picked this one up close to home. W couldn't resist a slide while we were there...wow the end comes quicker than I thought!!! Tftc Fun

Nice easy little cache with Shadow!...enjoyed a little slide too! TFTC...

I returned and found this almost instantly. Just shows what a fine day will turn up. But at least I found buried treasure (coins) yesterday. TFTC.

The rain was coming down and holding my umbrella over my head I dug around the ground and searched the structure. I dug up glass, a pen and coins, but I couldn't find the cache. [xx(] This was my only DNF today. I gave up and headed back to the dry car with the $1.20 in my damp hand. Sigh, another day.

This one proved a little harder to find, but still not too hard with my natural attributes helping me out a bit. Job done it was time to cycle home. Except that I had a flat tyre. Pumped it up and got and extra km a couple of times but eventually it wasn't worth the effort. I got almost all the way home on foot, but when I blister started to form I called in the cavalry. No need to be a He-Man.

Nice hide while the geokid played. Tftc

felt less weird as a 23 year old climbing all over playing equipment for this one, with shoobees geo kid around tftc

nice hide, tftc

Found with Fraggle_rock and Wasptor at lunch time. I like playground caches. TFTC

On a quiet hot Monday moring the playground was deserted, and that was good as I managed to overlook this one at first. All good now. Thanks.

Such a cute story. Watch out for the spiders, almost walked into a massive one.

'2013: Day 7' - A quick lunchtime grab. We sat under the tree and ate lunch while the geokid went over and found the cache. He had it in hand straight away. A nice spot to relax in the shade on a hot day. TFTC

Day 7; cache 7. Met my husband Wasptor for lunch and picked this one up after or little picnic at the park, TFTC!

Found this with my Dad fitzy_1965 and sis Stardust2410. Finally catching up with my logs.

TFTC.
