Kids enjoyed the break, but no luck here for us. After reading the last 3 logs, I think it may need to be checked....
We have travelled up from Sydney, to spend a week or so in Tamworth & Nundle for the April school holidays, staying at the Big4 Paradise caravan park in our Jayco Swan outback camper trailer. Today we were visiting the various Antique & Op Shops around Tamworth, and collecting some caches along the way. After some lunch back at camp the geofamily wanted some afternoon rest time, but geodad was hungry for more caches, so he headed out solo to pickup some caches around the South Tamworth area.
The play equipment, and the entire park, was deserted so I was able to do a good search. Unfortunately nothing was found so, unless I'm just blind and I could be, there is no cache here to be found. TFTH anyway.

No luck here today after an extensive search, may need a CO check? Surrounding caches have all been found recently but not this one. Last found in November.
Not my favourite type of cache hides, luckily today there was no one around so we could make a find and be gone quick. TFTC
These playground hides always make me very uncomfortable when solo caching. Thankfully this park was deserted on a very warm afternoon, so I made the grab and off to the next! TFTC Viper359
Another one done. Yay! I found this as part of a daily streak I am working on - over 2 months now. The first month wasn't so bad, the 2nd month got harder, and now it's getting more challenging to make sure I don't miss a day. I love the challenge of the geocache cache hunt - read the notes, decipher the cache requirements, and go searching for the hide. My new GPS is working great and it has made my geocaching experience so much simplier and more fun.
Thanks go to Viper359 for placing this cache and maintaining it. It's a great contribution to the Geocaching community and much appreciated. I enjoyed finding this one. I did this while on a motor bike tour with friends. This cache was another "Found it" for me. TFTC! Cheers. [Blue]Jump Pilot[/Blue] p Pilot[/Blue]

Found with help of hint! Even though it's tucked away, not sure if something so small should be where littlies could potentially grab it!? Very pretty park- thanks!
Travelling around Australia in our Caravan with our cat.
Today the GeoCruiser had to go in for a service so we headed down with the bikes on the back! 4degrees this morning dedication or what.
Off we rode for nearly 5 hours around Tamworth! Oh the things we have seen albeit finding caches along the way.
Found the cache easily enough, but we know that caches in playgrounds have a tendency to be muggled by the kids. Thankfully all safe for us to find today.

Found on journey away from the Mega. We are stating in Tamworth for a couple of days, getting the washing done, repairing things etc. Dedicated some time to sightseeing and a few caches as well.
After some lunch we headed out and visited a few of your park hides. Man there is a lot of parks

A group of Zebbies were watching me and they in turn were being watched by a cat. They all saw me access the cache and then put it back. Not sure what they all made of it though.
Thank goodness there were no mini muggles around today so we could make the quick grab and sign, then off to the next cache.

Beautiful Tamworth... drive around to find caches with whitepaws9.. stay for two nights .. thank
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 two saw us caching all day while we drove from Dubbo to Tamworth. Today was a great day seeing people voting and finding lots of caches. Thanks.

Election Day for NSW. Rather than being inside putting numbers in little boxes, we were out and about opening the little green boxes on our map of Tamworth. Fortunately we were the only folk at the park - playgrounds when you don't have kids are not cacher friendly.
Our thanks to Viper359 for bringing us here.

A very secluded park. The rain we have just had did not make things too slippery. TFTC Viper359
On approach gave my 5yr old niece the hint and made her think what it could be indicating. After a while and a further hint I sent her on her way running towards the park. Going up and down and all over the structure before I got there when I arrived she said Yep it is, but she didn't have the cache. I looked around for a bit but had no luck so went a sat down while she went off to play. Eventually I had an idea where it might be and Yep there it was. My niece was surprised at the size of this one and kept asking what is it. When I opened it she said well you wouldn't of thought that.
Well with this being our second last stop for the day it was a good time to have a good play and time to call in to see if anything needed on way home.

Found a path in the end of a cul-de-sac as our entrance to the park, lovely roses in bloom here....wandered through the deserted area, which we were thankful for during our visit/hunt, and made a quick find...thanks359
On approach to GZ saw what the clue was referring to. Hoped cache was not where we thought it would be, but after looking around figured it had to be in that spot. Ok, here goes....CIH. TFTC!

Found at 11:59 AM GAFF1. We actually had a bit of an issue trying to find access to the park. We found dead ends in a couple of locations and then managed to get within 83 metres of GZ in one street - just marvelous.
However as we approached GZ our smiles soon turned to scowls. We would normally lecture the CO about the inadvisability of placing caches in the middle of children's playgrounds, but today there was absolutely no one around so we were able to locate it quickly and get out of there.
Viper359.- please don't place caches right in the playground - it is a very bad scene for adults - especially adult males to be roaming around them these days.

Unfortunately this one was a DNF for today, I think that my coordinate could have been off the mark.
Thanks Viper359 great little cache. Tricky to access from the road but I found a path on Baringa Rd
Departed the Central Coast early this morning “Still Dark” to meander up the New England Highway with the aim of attending the Xmas in July in Stanthorpe, Qld to meet old friends and to greet new ones and generally have a ball and of course the chance to discover some caches along the way and visit some interesting places. Great cache. TFTC
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.
