Went shopping at the market and wanted to do a cache today. After reading other logs....this would be nice one to go for today. And park suitable for a dogs for a run.
No dissappointment with this cache. Nice, different hide. Didn't knew they could jump that high

Needed a cache this evening to fill in a blank spot on the calendar matrix. Based on Avoyager's log this looked like a good one to do by torch light. And it was. GPSr got me close, flashed the light around for a couple of minutes and soon had the cache in hand. Not a moment too soon as the mozzies found me. Nice hide. Cheers for the cache placement!
Took a little bit of huntng and trying to work the clue with the location. Nearly gave up when, there it was. TFTC
Mum and 1YO went searching for this one today while Dad and boys were playing/coaching/watching 8YO's rugby at a local school.
Mum took the opportunity during team warm-up to search for the cache.
Mum and 1YO found general cache area quickly, and Mum parked 1YO close to cache location (with 1YO calling out 'stuck Mummy'as Mum ventured closer to GZ). Mum found the cache really quickly (thanks to comments in previous logs) and was able to grab it and log the cache. By now, 1YO had progressed to yelling out 'Come here!'; so fumbling, Mum tried to replace the cache, after a few drops, she tried a different approach and replaced it easily.
When she returned to 1YO there was a mosquito sitting on her arm, poised to bite. Mum swiped it and rewarded 1YO with a play in the playground!
What a fantastic first hide - such imagination. We look forward to seeing more hide from the Gibbons Family. Fav point from us.

Took a few minutes to isolate the errant cache... GPS readings were hopping all over the place. Nicely done, many thanks.

Took a bit of looking and jumped when we finally saw it. Had not taken pen so couldn't sign!! Sorry!! Nice playground for kids too. Nice cache.
Left before dawn to walk to this cache taking a shortcut across the creek (saved walking the main roads). Got to GZ when it was still dark and didnt really know how we would find this cache.
But lucky the torchlight gave us some help with the find. Love the camo. Gets a fav. And then enjoyed the walk back home.
TFTC!

After a little merry dance, soon honed the search in and spotted the cache, and nice to see something a little different.

Just Mum and the kids today, we arrived with an idea of what we were looking for and feeling good about a quick find. Had a few issues with our GPS jumping around and then we were joined by Neatad - which was VERY lucky as Mum was too short to reach the cache and then discovered that she had dropped her pen.... somewhere... Left feeling like a rank amateur but very grateful for Neatad's help
#1257, A quiet day getting a few local caches. took longer than expected GPS all over the show, however spotted something a little different, yes yes it was the cache. Very cunning hide. Always nice to meet a fellow cacher - SivaII and her kiddies. TFTC

That deserves a “favourite” point for been so creative
Found this on my 3rd visit….feel really stupid that I missed it on my other attempts…but then…I am male!

Our caching day was interupted by a few new caches poping up so suddenly our planned caching area changed and off we were driving in pursuit of this one - of course we got every red light possible. Pulled up and another car came in behind us so off we all trotted. By luck Davycrockpot got it first with Funkymunkyzone and I looking on...I am sure it is really a shared FTF

Cool cache. Hoping to be FTF but no such luck. Kiddies liked it and its a good little park too
Saw a few new caches pop up so decided to head out and find one or two. Came here first and arrived at the same time as davycrockpot and geco72. Was sure this one would have been found already, in this part of town, but no, davycrockpot opened it up and the logsheet was empty! A joint FTF, I guess. Good to meet you guys (again?). TFTC!!! 
Good to meet you guys (again?). TFTC!!! Popped out this afternoon to pick up a few new caches. We spent a while hunting for it, but despite quite a few hints as to what the object could be, we just couldn't find it! Thanks anyway.
