Have removed for maintenance - will return by the end of the weekend Smile thanks to those who let me know Smile
 
07-Apr-15
Needs Maintenance. The logbook is made up of a few loose pages that are all fill up so there is nowhere to record your visit. The inside of the container is wet. The only two logbook pages are wet and the rest of the logbook pages have turned to paper mash on the bottom of the container,

Found it very fast. Easy hiding spot.

Needs a log book, there's a few random pages in there and they're all but full.

Found it, but there wasn't much of a log. TFTC

I found this cache after school for my daily find. We parked nearby and I made the short walk towards GZ. Fortunately there were no muggles around, so it was a nice easy find. The cache was a bit messy - lid half open, random logbook pages and even a small confectionery. I discarded the food according to the rules.
This cache might need some maintenance!

Thanks Teganerin.

I was down south doing the artist-it-up series. It was above 30 C today with patchy clouds, high humidity and thunderstorms threatening. So it was a sweaty experience. Found this one along the way. tftc Teganerin.
 
27-Dec-14
We found a Decor box with a PathTag. TFTC. NOT much room left in the log, either.

Travelling south late in the evening to see what cache we could find. Miss Stormcatcher picked this one off the radar and we were soon at GZ. Bold hide in a very open area we must say. Log signed and we headed off into the night. TFTC
 
28-Nov-14
A quick find in a deserted spot. Still safely covered but I worry that it might be a little prone to muggles. TFTC Teganerin.

Hi everyone

So apparently my cache has been muggled - probably one that was eventually going to happen.
I won't have time until the weekend of 22nd June to replace so apologies in advance.

Thank you StevenWill for fixing as best you could - I really appreciate it Very Happy
 
25-May-14
Too easy a find I think and container was open. No swaps so put a couple in there not much paper either
 
17-May-14
Hi Mate,

Unfortunately we found this cache all over the playground. Luckily no-one had removed the container just thrown them around. Managed to recover some of the logs and the geocaching information page.
I am not sure it is in the correct place, but have re-hidden it under some rocks a bit obvious but perhaps you need to rehide in a harder spot to stop the muggles. I will send you a picture of the spot were we have rehidden it.

Cheers
Steve

Tftc. I had an GPS offset of about 13 meters. But it was still quite obvious Wink
 
11-Apr-14
After spending an enjoyable evening at the RSPCA Trivia night, we headed south to check on the muggle brother as his dog passed away today. We swung past and collected this one as it was nearby. It was a little damp from all the rain, but the log was still able to be signed. TFTC
 
Quick grab at GZ. Signed log: TNGD. TFTC!
 
16-Feb-14
Plenty of trees here and the GZ was all over the place, but after checking several I found the right spot and dealt with the cache. Thanks.

Took an evening stroll and must have got here just after it had been found, so not first find for the day! Anyway, this parklet is close to where we are living at the moment so no hardship to find it, we just kept forgetting to actually do it! Not tonight though, hope it stays as this park gets really busy with dog walkers and all ages of kids hanging out here. TFTC Smile

Found @ 6:52pm

Was looking for a find after DNFing a new cache and this popped up. Found at the fifth tree I checked - I've supplied the coords I got.

Thanks Teganerin
 
27-Dec-13
7532 + 901 = 8433. A run down southside with AwesomeL...

Tenth stop for the day. I had no fear of Playground caches today as I had "special equipment" with me... A quick but noisy find once at GZ ! Now on to the next one.

Thanks again Teganerin !!

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers....

I was barking up the wrong tree with this cache. Once I was in the right place the cache was easily found.

7612. [green]Boy do I feel silly having logged a DNF on this one Red FaceRed FaceRed Face. In fact I see I'm the only one to have done so. No surprise there really. The surprise was how quickly and how obvious the hide is.... [/green]

[blue]Thanks for the cache Teganerin and the slap.[/blue]

Got there eventually. Found after a making everyone feel sick on the spin around thing.

TFTC.
 
07-Dec-13
After a wander with the puppy in a nearby suburb I had just enough time for a bit of a drive-by....except I wasn't really paying attention to the map so didn't end up parking in quite the right spot. Never mind - there didn't seem to be too many hoodlums or roving gangs that I needed to worry about and Elvis was happy about the extra walk.
 
02-Dec-13
Good one. TFTC.
 
29-Nov-13
Found it after looking around the wrong spot for about 10 mins. TFTC

17-Nov-13
Yep
 
10-Nov-13
Found it at about the 3rd tree I searched....so all good.

No-one at the playground either...so that all was good as well.

Thanks for another one Teganerin....
 
09-Nov-13
mmm Gz in the middle of 4 trees, so I tried all 4 and found it
at the last one. And yes, another playground mmm

Great day to walk the dogs in the park Smile TFTC TNLN

This is my first cache!! Thanks Tshiz for giving me another addiction to keep me busy!!
 
23-Oct-13
Tried all the spots that I could think of but came up blank. At dusk without a torch - I guess I was in trouble from the start.
 
18-Oct-13
There are signs of dedicated searching here, so I applied a different method(eventually)
 
17-Oct-13
Nice little catch here - never knew all these parks even existed! Binni grabbed something, and we dropped a starmac - tftc Teganerin Smile

TFTC. Grabbed a Smiley Badge.
 
13-Oct-13
Found on a hot morning before on Bathurst Day. A nice easy cache for the day. Parked at the end of a nearby short and walked 60m to GZ, where we were getting a little worried about the playground and the Collingwood birds. Luckily, there were no children on the playground today - would've made things a lot harder. Was a bit weary of the birds encase they were going to swoop me, but luckily the cache was found within a few minutes. The GPS lead me to the wrong tree at first, then we wandered off a little bit and it was found. Nice hide. TNLNSL. TFTC Teganerin!
 
13-Oct-13
After spending the night and morning with my nephews, I decided to go on a little mini mission while the weather was good.

I thought I would go give some of the Chalk It Up series a go. I had a nice wander around this area today collecting caches on foot. I finally gave in when the clouds started getting ugly and the rain began to fall. That's when it was time to head home and do some logs.

All of todays caches were nice easy finds. I apologise in advance for the generic logs however I don't really have much to report on these finds.

Thanks for the nice Sunday Afternoon Geo-mini-mission Teganerin Smile
 
07-Oct-13
Found this whilst with LuckyL10n on a geomission to get to 1000 finds and help him celebrate the event - Yay! It was a fantastic day to be out and about - so we ventured off to find more cache on the way home.
TFTC Teganerin
 
07-Oct-13
#1003 - 15:25; After an early start on a geomission to get to 1000 finds and having completed the mission, it was time to put the icing on the cake with a few more cache finds on the way home. This was find number 56 of 63 for me and find 22 of 31 for my geobuddy Canberrachick who wasn't quite the early starter today. TFTC Teganerin Smile
 
05-Oct-13
iPhone had us about 10m out. Spotted the correct tree soon enough. Signed just as it started sprinkling again

I like to try to knock off my closes to home on the weekend, so hence my trip here. Dogboyoz and I checked each tree, so it was just a process of elimination. Cache was a bit wet on the inside. This type of container is not water tight.

Found with DogBoyOz.

Thanks Teganerin

Tricky find because of the hint
 
21-Sep-13
Parked the car and saw this was in a park. On the way I said to Captain Tomato I bet this one was at a playground. I dont like this type of hide as a single male and was happy that no kids were around. Found after looking at the wrong one TFTC
 
21-Sep-13
Was worried that this one was going to be IN the playground... Luckily, it wasn't. Thanks Teganerin.

Found on this wet day. The cache was sitting in a pool of water, but the contents were dry. TFTC.

This cache came up on the email and we thought we will grab it next time we walk the dogs. Thanks for the cache Teganerin. Cheers

2013: 252 Days In A Row - It's nice having caches close to home. Smile The kids enjoyed having a play on the park for a while after the cache log was signed. Thanks for the cache!

Pulled up, started the GPSr booting, and Bronnie arrived. We wandered over to the GZ, and after a bit of searching I decided to pay more attention to the GPSr.

Once it settled, it was spot on.

Before we could rehide the cache, Joey arrived.

Thanks for a southside cache amidst all those northside ones.

A joint FTF with Bronnie. Smile

Yay - my first cache has been published Very Happy

I excitedly wandered towards GZ by torchlight. Easy enough to find - I just headed towards the other torch. 3rd to find. Well done guys. Thanks for putting out the cache Teganerine - looking forward to some more. TNLNSL.

YAY! *FTF* at 20:14

When the notification went off i didnt take much care of it, till re-looking at the cache title. I know people who used to live in Muir close, and went "OH! I KNOW WHERE THAT IS! OH ONLY 2.2KM AWAY HEY?"
After initial issues logging into the gc app on my phone (note to self: if upgrading phone, it will have logged you out of all apps), and after initially thinking it was on the namesake street, i made it there, to find yrpsycho hoping out of his car as well. I didnt even bother with shoes. Hey, i left my torch at home as well! Lets see how the phone light goes..

After initially bypassing GZ, it turns out..it was there.
My only problem with playground caches, is that they are in a higher risk spot, to be stolen/vandalised. Where you've placed it, because it's very close to the playground, could accidentally be spotted by a muggle, who might think it's rubbish under a tree. Just a warning.

Anyway, thanks for your first cache!
