Someone has stolen the cache definitely

this one is gone again

Very sure this one is missing.
Found the hidey hole, but no cache.

We found the spot but no cache =(

TFTC nice spot but very exposed, not sure if it's meant to be that easy.

Tftc great hide and its tricky

Well hidden but easy find nevertheless

This was fun

One of my favourites

Found, nice camo

Found an eclipse tin with no log in it at first, but then we found another one with a log.

Found this one quickly.... enjoying the series. Some great sporting fields! TFTC

3rd find in Balls series. Really enjoying this run. This one blended in really well, too. Hint helped as well. Had the park to ourselves. SLTN TFTC

Quick driveby. TFTC

#115 - No muggles in sight as we climbed up the hill from the netball courts, and The Kimble soon had this one in hand to sign & replace before we wandered over to the cricket pitches.

Nice quick and easy find, new log too.

Interesting how the cemetery integrates with the park.

Thanks for the cache!

Yay that is our 800th...! With both of us being wet through to the skin and squishing along in our boots and the rain still falling, we are going to call it a day and head home for a nice warm shower and some fresh clothes. Nearly forgot, easy find with the hint and good coords.

Definitely hard to see at night!

I was expecting a bison tube but found something completely different. Thanks.

Tfth. Easy to access of you are taller!

Army man still there. Cache is an Eclipse tin rather than a bison tube.

Found it and put a you army man in there

Having arrived in the Belmont area yesterday with Di Morgan and husband Bill it did not take long today to head off to do some of the trails and caches located within the nearby vicinity. It was the first time Bruce got to try out his cute little Strida lookalike fold up bike, which even with its small wheels performed well. A big thanks to Team-Tonka

Our 2nd day in Newcastle, we have teamed up with Liz and Bruce to find a few caches.
We had a small accident at this cache, similar to what happened a few logs ago. We were not able to retrieve the cache so left a replacement container. Sorry about that.
Thanks Team-Tonka we did enjoy our walk around the fields.

After a few days of non caching I got the ole Geo itch again. Early morning start threw the trusty Mountain Bike in the back of the Geo truck and headed North. With a aim to complete the Toolbox Series and others of opportunity further North. Great cache, TFTC

Loved the Balls Out Caches series had a great night out with the girls finding them!

After completing "Netball" we headed over to this one. Walking over we knew were it would of been. Nice easy cache. We all love nice easy, close by caches. Had a good night with the girls on this series. TFTC

Epic find

due to the kindness of a fellow cacher this one is now back in its rightful spot Thanks

Arrived to find this missing from the likely hiding spot. Then read previous logs and noticed it was sabotaged. Why maintenance hasn't been done is beyond me.

I was going to log a DNF but thought it wouldn't help it get fixed so I contacted Spikeymikey and told him my plan to retrieve said cache and he advised he had required items at his house. So a quick trip to his house for a seven foot length of rod and magnet turned out to be the first of two trips. Turns out the fence post was deeper than that. Back I went for a nine foot length and soon cache was in hand.

Signed log and reattached it to its home for the next person to find with less drama.

Couldn't spot this one. I think I found the right hide - but couldn't see it. Maybe previous finder hasn't had a chance to fix it up yet?

I'm such an idiot. I dropped the cache in its holder today. Will be a struggle for people to retrieve until I come back and resolve (couple of days). So sorry folks.

nice quick find trying not to look suss walking around in the bushes

quick find

Quick find. TFTC.

Need to be tall

Found after watching a few teens jump the fence to play football.
TFTC!

And last but not least. TFTC.

We have been doing this for far too long and spotted this one from the car. Thanks for a good hide.

Great spot for a cache, nice and quick find. TFTC

Warm day again , last day today from 1st to 31st of august geocaching straight as first time ever... Easy to find as hide very well thanks

Being such a nice day, I couldn't let it go to waste so a trip to newcastle was on the cards to find some of my unfound caches in the area.

Having been past this location on a few occasions, but this time was the first time I stopped to have a look cause there was no muggles anywhere in site.

I parked the car in the carpark and made my way round to GZ, and upon arriving I quickly found a crafty hide.

A quick find on the way home from dinner in East Newcastle

We needed a quick one today as we had appointments to keep. This one we could park close by and hopefully find quickly, we weren't disappointed. After a brief wait for a passing muggle a quick search and the prize was ours. Thanks for the cache Team-Tonka.

Quickly found with WebbyHRT

Tftc. Found with Kano555

Found this cache whilst out caching with a friend of mine whilst visiting her from Brisbane. I am glad she came with me as I found the cache but couldn't retrieve it without a lot of difficulty. Thanks for the cache!

Clever hide, had me stumped for a bit. It was fun trying to grab, as am shorter than most.

Nice simple hide application, just enough cover from the nearby muggles.

First solo find. Drove within a metre of it. TFTF.

This was a very good hiding place for the cache, very ingenious.

Thanks for the cache Team Tonka.

With freezing hands and faces, Cccritter7 and I set off on our great Geocaching adventure. We started with the Toolbox series on the Fernleigh Track, then found the Balls-Out series in the Kahibah Sports complex. After this, a few stand alone caches in Kahibah/Charlestown. We then zoomed down the Pacific Highway on our bikes. After a perilously steep hill in Windale, we searched for the 'Nature Bird' Series in Tingira Heights. It wasn't the greatest time to take these on, as there was some very muddy tracks. After a spot of lunch along the way, we completed the majority of the caches and came down to the shore of Lake Mac. We picked up the Billion Dollar Boardwalk Series, then went on a long ride along the beautiful Lake Mac, ending up at Mega Fun. We then headed to The Leaning Red Gum cache at Glendale. After that we enjoyed a McFlurry at Macca's, before setting off for the Glendale to Wallsend Power Trail. After completing this, we tiredly set off home, exhausted but tired after an awesome day of GeoCaching.

Nice short series of caches. SL TFTC

Second time lucky, found with my brother visiting from Las Vegas, TFTC Team-Tonka!!

I spotted this one on arrival. Pointed it out and retrieved. Had to stand on my tippy toes!!

Have checked on this one and it has been muggled but it is now ready to go again

No luck today although I thought this was easily spied a week or so ago (saving for my 366day matrix), I'm not having a good trot with this series as I couldn't find "Balls out : Netball" back then or again today.

We found it. My niece signed it.

Is it inside or outside the fence?

Found it

Lucky these caches weren't snakes or I'd be in big trouble! Nicely hidden so that no muggle should ever find it (and maybe some of us hopeless geocachers!). TFTC

Decided to drop in here on the way to visit mum on a quiet Sunday morning. After finding Balls out: Netball I dropped in to find this one. There was a lot of muggles in the area as a game was getting ready in the football club so the car park was busy, luckily there was not many in the park on the on the netball side of the fence.
I found it fairly easily and extracted the log and managed to sign with no one around.
Thanks to Team-Tonka for the cache.

Nice hide. Found easily and then met the CO.

Well what can I say 4th to find again like this quick one tftc

Second of the series for me and another FTF - fifth-to-find. on a roll. Mmm, it's getting dark.
Thanks Team Tonka

Reperio at 1655.

After making a quick dash across the fields from 'Balls Out: Soccer'...I stopped by 'Cricket' to make the find there before proceeding over to this one. With so many kids around playing netball in the nearby courts...I wasn't sure how easy this one would be to look somewhat natural while trying to retrieve it...but thankfully the flora in the immediate vicinity helped shelter my search and retrieval.

Gratias Team-Tonka.

We headed into town this afternoon after work to meet up with the CO, and Whats the best thing to do when you with the CO?......Go find hes caches of course!

This was our first for the night as the netball court was still being over watched by muggles, Once out of sight the cache was soon found and signed.

Thanks TeamTonka

A quick find in the shrubbery, hidden from prying muggle eyes.
