Not enough time to maintain this cache.

Not there CO

Disabled.

Did not find... As previously noted I think it's been taken... Our poochies were very disappointed lol

Think it has been taken

No luck with this one. Based on the diffculty rating, the hint and the other logs I'm very sure of the hiding place, but the tube only has a couple wood chips in it. A long stick was used as suggested, but only revealed wood chips out the other end. Perhaps a check by CO to confirm and report if it's still there or not? Cheers.

Tftc!

I never thought standing in a children's playground giving the middle finger would come in handy. Well today I was proved wrong. I lurked around the playground till the muggles moved on before wiping out the middle finger to get my prize. Well done a nice hiding spot.

Clever

Found with sacada. Now have my own login. TFTC.

Found quickly. Amazed that kids haven't found it first. No kids today so was ok for me to climb around. TFTC YRPsycho.

Nice hide. Grass around playground was very high though! Needs mowing

This was a nice cache to do for my daily find. We parked near GZ and walked over. Fortunately there were no muggles at the playground - only some dog walkers strolling past GZ. We found the great hide fairly quickly, signed the logbook, replaced and continued on our way.

Our thanks to YRPsycho!

Nice kiddy-type find. Suits us oldies nicely on dusk tonight.

We dodged the rain showers as much as we could and enjoyed discovering some of the walking tracks around Canberra. This was one of the caches we targetted and were able to find. [^][^] Thanks to YRPsycho for placing this cache and giving us the opportunity to see this area.

#455. 96 days in a row.

Went for a quick find after work. Got to the playground, took a quick look at it and thought "If I was going to hide a cache it would be there..." and that was precisely where it was.

Found it...first place I looked
TFTC YRPsycho

Nice walk on a hot day easy find

First cashe found. Easy and quick. Thanks for the hint it was a big help

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

We found it, a bison tube in a tube

Never like hide the cache in the playground... but finally found it without muggles... Thanks

On a cold, wet and windy day like today playground such as these are deserted. Quick find.

A pen did the trick for retrieval. TFTC

It's a park with play equipment.

Another good one due to your girls!! I went out for another lunchtime walk, and quickly found this one. Thanks, and good on yer, Phoebe!!

Extracted very carefully. TFTC

Number 4 tick done found!!

4 calingg birds

Thx

Thanks for the hint

Found it. Awesome cache. Thanks.

Replaced the log.

Went to GZ and had a search around. Nothing. Expanded the search. Nothing. Expanded the search some more and found it nestled in its hiding spot. Our GPSr had us 12m out. Signed log: TNGD. TFTC!

The log sheet is chock-a-block in this one. Just thought you should know.

Cheerio.

Great hide not really a fan of the playground one

Although I didn't have the Jr Cachehunters with me this afternoon, I managed to make the quick find: which was good as a middle aged bloke poking around a playground might look a tad strange.

TFTC.

Tftc log full needs replacing

TFTC

Quick find TFTC

Mimalicious and Vivalicious

Sneaky

I lovely little playground. TFTC

Greened it tftc

Easy but clever. Yes this could get awkward without the correct tools

Oh yes, I can see why a long stick may be necessary. Thankfully for me it wasn't. My last cache in a fun Tuggers caching afternoon. Off to pick up the kids from school etc. SL TFTC

Found my way here this morning and found the cache, thanks Phoebe.

TFTC

Nice playground, and well positioned cache - poked in just a little too far to reach with a finger, but nothing a handy stick couldn't solve. Repositioned such that an index finger should be able to retrieve it, or any of the assortment of sticks strategically stashed in the vicinity - thanks YRP

Hubby walked straight to it as it as it was sticking out more than it should have been. Replaced it a bit further in but still easy enough to access

Straight to it and easily retrieved

Found in the dark with O319. TFTC

Quick find in the dark whilst killing time waiting to pick up Justjessie junior from a party...

Quick find on the way to animal antics. TFTC Phoebe.

Down on the Southside and a nice quick find

Easy thank u

Good hide, pretty easy find. TFTC

Tftc- found it no problem. Clever spot. Finishing my first day of caching in icy weather

Decided to make an account for our geokid so he collects the same souvenirs and what not along the way Thought he might appreciate it when he is older. This was the first cache we ever found and Joey was so excited. It certainly sparked his love of this 'treasure hunting'

TFTC again YRPsycho

8D My first ever geocache find! Was very excited! Thank you so much and I think its a wonderful idea - go Pheobe. Unfortunately I didn't have a pen with me (the one I usually have in my bag mysteriously disappeared) so I will have to go back another time to sign


17/6/13 - Went back to sign the log today

Reasonably quick find after getting scared off by one of the nearby dogs,

TFTC!

Slippery slide great fun TFTC

easy to find once figured out.

Quick search revealed the hide. Nice little park which is in better shape than some of the others I have seen. SL TFTC!

I found this on Sunday 17/03/2013 with my daughters... Forgot to log... Thanks for the challenge, great hiding spot

Had to get the torches out for #16 on our southside assault today. We had taken a short break from the chalk it up series for something different and like the previous one Miss Stormcatcher made the find.

Thanks again YRPsycho for the cache.

First ever find - very cool! Thanks

My kids love this playground too! Will leave signing the log for them on the weekend. TFTC

Found with geojacqui on a lovely Sunday afternoon only 400m from home TFTC

After a bit of poking and probing the cache was in hand. Today being a bit damp, the park was thankfully empty.

Thanks YRPsycho for another.

TFTC, tricky one but good hidden, no muggles around, very quiet especially on school time.

Found on a quick tour of Tuggeranong clearing out a few local trads this morning. Found the cache but also found that my pocket wasn't zipped up and that I had presumably dropped my pen somewhere between here and the last cache. Have a pic to share but it sort of shows off the hide so I won't post it here.

Found on a big day of caching. Luckily, it was too hot for the kids today, so there was no one at GZ. This resulted in a nice easy find. Great little hide! TFTC YRPsycho!

Took my sons dog out for a walk and decided to try a different bike path than the usual Richardson route. This time we came to a lovely playground and even better, it had a cache to find. Quick find and sign as puppy was getting a bit hard to handle, he's really strong and didn't want to sit and stay at all! TFTC

An impromptu night time caching expedition was undertaken with Allrounder and hccatcher11415. We decided to hit the south side of town for a change of scenery, collecting the trads that came across our path. We were headed back to the northern side of town so decided to swing past and collect this one. The local pooch was doing his job and getting into strife for barking....located quickly. TFTC

2nd on my 25km walk for the day. Another playground phew again no kids around. Found straight away TFTC

Clearing out caches in teh area and grabbed this on a quick drive by. The kiddies had fun while we singed the log.

Another neglected looking playground.

The cache took some hunting, but we got it in the end. Doesn't terrible secure up here, hope it lasts!

Thanks Phoebe for a quick find today!

First of a few found out on a ride with Allrounder!, Hccatcher11415 and Liv81. Another playground to play in while catcher caught her breath and worked her knee out.... Tftc Fun

1st of 8 caches on a ride with Shadow!, allrounder and hccatcher11415.

Good spot for a rest and a drink - TFTC!

Second find on a ride down south.

I was happy to rest in the shade for this one! TFTC

Found @ 3:19pm, the 2nd of the 11 caches found on a ride with hccatcher11415, Liv81 and Shadow!

This wasn't plannedas the next find but we needed to give hccatcher11415 a rest as this was her first time back on the bike after knee surgery late last year. Shadow! spotted this and I made the retrieval.

Thanks YRPsycho

As the evening closed into dark we had just enough time for this find - nicely done thanks YRPsycho and Phoebe.

Easy, quick find. I echo some of the others' concerns. Perhaps this is too easy. TFTC.

Went for a ride this morning to pick up these two caches before it got too hot. I used the clue and found the cache almost instantly and since I didn't want to hang around I thought that was good. I reckon this'll go missing pretty soon if kids ever actually play here.

First spot I looked! Geokid had fun playing, thanks for bringing us here

thanks for the awesome cache fun fun fun.

6754. [green]Seeing as it worked yesterday I tried the same thing today with the same result. Found in the first place I felt so happy about that too. [/green]

[blue]Thanks for the cache YRPsycho and the tube. [/blue]

This was my second playground for today, and it should have been a quick grab, but of course I overlooked the right spot for far too long. I had to head back to the car to get a tool, but with it in hand it was all signed and hidden again in good time. Thanks.

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

TFTC.

I found it! A quick cache and I found this one while the other two watched. Thank you!

Day 6; cache 6. kids play, find cache= good day . TFTC!

'2013: Day 6' - A quick cache before it got too hot. The geokid found this one rather quickly, which makes me wonder if this will survive jr muggles playing here. Hope so. T-rex had a bit of a play while we signed the log in the shade of a nearby tree... TFTC

1549. I was in Isabella Plains for the 3 yo neice's birthday. So after all the celebrations, I came here for a visit. A quick find followed without the GPSr. TFTC.

6075 + 740 = 6815. Quick find on a quiet hot Sunday morning...

Second of the two new Playground Caches. I took my secret weapon for playground caches with me today - the geokids ! Great camo and distraction material as they run around while I do the searching. Quickly spotted the cache and then dug it out of its hidey hole. Thanks YRPsycho !

By the way - the Geokids are for Hire if you need them for some playground caches - cheap rates !

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers....

Weird! I thought i had already logged this one, but..apparently not.

It's too hot for anyone else to be here, so thankfully had the playground to myself. Would of felt soooooooo awkward and suss if anyone else was here

Agree with TankEngine.
OK, Playground cache. Only one way to get these and prevent locals calling the police thinking I'm lurking around kids places. At the crack of dawn on New Years Day, while all the revellers are still sleeping (or just going to bed ), off I go for a 15km return mountain bike ride on a nice fresh and lovely morning. Found the cache OK.
Then off back home, and amazingly, lots of people around at 6-7am walking dogs and as I wandered around the back streets going home, I noticed 4 taxis dropping people off !! Golleeee, they must have been partying, or, .......... (And that's just what I passed & saw)
Thanks for the chance to go for a nice leisurely ride on a lovely and very quiet morning.

Grabbed about 7.20....when all good kids are at home.....always pleased about that.

Found this one inmt he first placed I looked. Happy about that as well.

Thanks YRPsycho.....
