Too much construction going on. I could not find it so I assume its gone.

The dog was a bit scarey

We needed the bubbler in the park on this hot day.

Signed the nice new log! TFTC

Replaced the cache and log

Needs some maintenance as log very wet and in pieces

Found when taking a break at the Tamworth Country Music Festival.Container and log where on the ground and open. Not much of the log left. Hid where i thought it should have been. TFTC

Find No: 5103. Visiting from Newcastle, staying with friends at Ogunbil, took their daughter out for a drive on her L plates, thanks for the cache Whitey Wiskas!!

Good chance to sit and sign log, and thankfully the playground was empty this morning.

Found this cache at 1:45pm while passing thru and heading for home after being out at Birdville and the Simpson desert and being floaded in for a few days and then unable to head down the Birdville track so had a change of plain and come home via Qld
Thanks Whitey Wiskas for the hide and finding some beautiful little well kept parks.

QLD Mega trip 2015 with Sol de Lune. On this almost 400km road trip we drove from Canberra to Stanthorpe caching in all the towns along the way with mostly great success. Around the Mega there were heaps of caches to be done including a few power trails. Despite the weather we got all of the planned caches done.

Day three was spent caching around Tamworth and then watching the cricket world cup at the amazing camp ground kitchen. Thanks.

Found with Albida33 on the way to the Stanthorpe Mega......so please excuse the generic log.

The cache was found without any issues and the log was soon signed....then back in the car and off to continue our travels.

Thanks for the cache and adding to the fun of our Mega trip.....

A Baker’s Dozen – the name of a cache we own and also the number of caches we found after setting up camp in Tamworth. We were impressed by the number of parks and playgrounds around the city and of course the sneaky little caches they offered.

Our thanks to Whitey Wiskas for bringing us here.

TFTC.

A quick find with help of the TOT on my belt

Found at 9:03 AM GAFF1. A nice new estate with lovely houses. Those cherry blossom trees are making the whole area very sophisticated indeed.
The cache container was a bit difficult to get out - the previous cacher replaced it a bit too far in [B)]
Thanks Whitey Wiskas.

Good one,
Cheers.

Have returned to complete our logging duties. Apologies for not sending a message - life often gets in the way of fun. Also thanks for your patience.

My thanks go along with Alwyn's. Cache duly logged.

Wow very tricky find.

[font=Comic Sans MS]Hi there Whitey Wiskas. We found your cache "Lampada Park" at 11:14:00 AM today.
This was our 1st cache find in a caching run of 5 Finds & 0 DNFs today. (So this now makes our find count 9074.)
[Blue]
Today was our first day 'caching in Tamworth, & it seems like we have discovered a group of 'caches that have been placed in or near kids playgrounds.

Please Note: Geocachers sneaking around kids playgrounds are often confused with someone that may have evil intent - and parents or neighbours often complain and call the police.

However, as the coast was clear we attempted it anyway . . . . .
[/Blue]
Coordinate Accuracy: Excellent. (We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.)
Cache Condition: Container and log book are in good shape.
Took: Nothing.
Left: Nothing..
Thanks for the hunt today,
Regards
Ian & Penny.[font=Verdana]

Today we did a tour around Tamworth, we visited many parks, lookouts & the wonderful tributes to Country Music of which this town is so famous.
The caches we found were interesting & varied. The cachers of Tamworth should all be proud of their well maintained caches.
Thanks for placing this cache Whitey Wiskas

What a cute and clever hide! Love it

Coordinates changed from:
S 31° 08.168 E 150° 57.270

Coordinates changed to:
S 31° 08.176 E 150° 57.258

Distance from original: 79.3 feet or 24.2 meters.
After a couple of complaints I have relooked at the coordinates and have corrected them

Shame to see so much rubbish in a children's playground, particularly in a new estate. interesting whole wide. Please change the location of the coordinates as it is still 21 meters off. Thanks for the cache!

Oh minty fresh park

Still said I was 21m away when we found it

Coordinates need to be updated. Lots of rubbish in park. Shaz6611

Easy find TFTC

Reperio at 1000.

Traveled up from Newcastle yesterday to spend a couple of days in Tamworth visiting friends...and today I had some time to find a few caches. This was the second find of the day, and after wandering around GZ for far too long, I eventually decided that the cache had to be somewhere else...exactly 20m somewhere else. Fortunately I spotted it from afar while I was checking out one of the more obvious structures nearby.

Gratias Whitey Wiskas.

The coordinates needed to be shifted to avoid a child's playground

Nice little park - quiet when we there there. Feels strange not signing. TFTC

All quiet here early in the morning which helped our search. TFTC

With an early morning and a late afternoon visit the park was full both time's. Would you consider allowing a find for us on this one.

Easy find. New houses everywhere

Omg we finally found one!!!

9017 caches found

After leaving our van at our nephew's we decided to do a few caches. saw this sneaky fellow



Took: Nothing
Left: Nothing
Thanks Whitey Wiskas for the hunt today

Initially I thought that this one could be hard to find, being so small. But I captured it within two minutes at exactly 1800 HRS EDLT on the 27th Dec. Now with no log to verify that I was actually there at the time given I decided to take a photo of the "Stud and the nearby Train" of which I am happy to provide.
In the past I have located several Nano magnetics, but this is the smallest for me with 121 Caches so far. TFTC.

Tftc found with geopartner. Nice easy find
