Garden works have made the cache to exposed

Disabled for maintenance.

Sorry for the late log handlel. I notice it is now out for maintenance. Hope it was still there and I just couldn't find it. You do amazing hides but I will have to DNF this one.

Such a pity but we weren't able to find this one today. I'll admit to being more cautious around these contraptions due to a few cautionary tales I've heard about people who weren't, which may have limited my search more than some others. The one thing I could definitely touch safely, didn't appear to have a log book in it. Thanks anyway, handlel. =^.^=

So neat job. Always enjoyed seach your hide the cache. Fav from me. Signed the log as EV. Thanks

Found it!
That was a Great hide!

A clever hide

Thought I could c it from afar, but no, check hint again &. . . Aha! Clever.TFTC:-)

Found on visit to Tamworth for overnight stay. The more obvious location was not to be...however the second place for a cache was successful for us. TFTC

Nice cache! Grounds staff got a bit close with the whipper snipper tho!

Very clever this one had us looking high and low!!

Spent the day checking out the sights of Tamworth and grabbing some caches. TFTC.

Great container but a lot of ants today

Very clever cache

Found again. At North West Region RAP day. With Blinky54 and Janalli61

Found on Scout activity. TFTC

Found the cache thanks

Nice cache contents are wet however log sheet damp a favourite from us , heading back home to Tassie

Up here from the central coast for TCMF gigs this week. Even though its another scorcher of a day, this arvo I have planned to go up to the Oxley Lookout and head out to Flagstaff Mountain to get a good hike in while I'm here. I have about 5 or 6 caches planned for the journey starting with this one. After enjoying a late (4.30pm lol) lunch here in the park near GZ, I made my way over for the hunt. I enjoyed finding a few handlel ones yesterday and this one was no different. The cache was wet inside and the log damp but by the time I'd removed the log, signed it, and admired the container for a few mins, EVERYTHING had dried out. Cheers, handlel!

Nicely hidden ,thought it was well positioned, log may need replacement as a bit wet,tftc

Very clever well done. Geo kid found quickly but cache was very water logged.

Another favourite point handlel. Keep the great caches coming

Sneaky hiding place for this one. Left a TB to continue its journey.

Yep, I agree with many other geocachers before me - I love it! *fave point*

Just had to be. TFTC handlel

TFTC, nice park , clever hide.

Found it thought it was near gate

Haha, a clever hide. We quickly took the cache over to the grass to sign as an elderly dog walking muggle was heading our way. Once she was past we could return the cache. TFTC.

Found it TFTC.

In Tamworth for a business trip,
I'm looking for a place;
Where things are hidden, but when found,
A smile goes on my face.

This was a pre-selected cache,
My wife gave me a list;
And so with glee I grab this one,
So glad she did insist.

TFTC! from Mr E of Eskies5.

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 Marsupial Park and Oxley Lookout, and targeting caches in those locations and others around the East Tamworth area. This was the 2nd find of the day, 18th find of the holiday.

Another quick find on our way to Marsupial Park. It was a very nicely crafted container designed to fool the muggles, but arousing the suspicions of the average cacher. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found.

We were impressed with the effort gone to in the cache container & camo construction and, together with the nice park location, we are giving this one a Favourite point. TFTC.

Find #1097

Staying in Tamworth for a few days with a few caches in mind. Driving around for a couple of caches and spotted this one. A great hide and well crafted. A favourite point. TFTC handlel.

Found 2050, GAFF1 No problems with muggles at this hour, so I was able to take my time after having a couple of DNFs in town. Just in case, I cloaked myself 'with invisibility', but nobody noticed
Good coordinates, cache dry. Unable to fit a CSM.
Will add a bookmark for the Challenging Cache elective #4, of which this is #344, of the required x 400.
I think this was also #4 of four different Types of caches found today (tho I still have to log the workings for an Earthcache - #2)

Checked cache and Log sheet today doing a maintenance run and all still in place and in good condition - Happy Hunting

Only the park keeper around. TFTC.

Our last day in Tamworth, this morning we took the drive out to Lake Keepit. After lunch we found more closer to town.
A very well constructed hide, in a well maintained park.
favourite point given
Thanks for placing this cache handlel

Out early to get this one as too many muggles later in the day. Clever hide, in a nice park. TFTC

Travelling in NSW, ACT & VIC on family related issues & why would I miss the opportunity to get a few caches along the way.
Nice one.
Quick find.
TFTC

**Smiie #3634**

Linden/6 & Immyky, heading from Brisbane to ACT, following a few windmills along the way.
It would NOT be right to ignore all the caches en-route! LOL ...
Day 2, Tamworth to Orange.
Our 21st cache on this trip.

Wow!
Well placed & well made.
We managed a quick find despite the muggle walkers that were EVERYWHERE! LOL ...
Left our mark & replaced as found.

**TFTC handlel **

Found when taking a break at the Tamworth Country Music Festival.Very good hide

Great cache great hiding spots in Tamworth

A quick find, much easier than I expected! TFTC

The clue really have it away! Awesome camouflage!!

Another great cache by the 'handlel" thanks ,I like these types .....FP 4 Effort! input, contruction etc...[^]

Found, heaps clever container

Yay!!

Having a great time caching around Tamworth - thanks for the many caches. Another clever hide.

Arrived to do this just as school was going in, so we made a quick trip to the spot and took a moment to admire the container, quick sign and were gone before anyone knew we were there. TFTC

Spent 2 nights in Tamworth, and geo-hubby went out to find some local caches.

Really liked this one, worth a favourite point from us.
Many thanks for placing this cache, handlel, for us and others to find.

Thanks for the cache. Found on our way north along the New England hwy.

Found at 4:37 PM GAFF1.
So for this cache to be here it means that the nearby "ANZAC Park" cache must have been archived. It had a troubled history didn't it?
This cache should last and the name is a nice play on words and a nicely made camo.
Thanks handlel.

Found after a day's labours

Each year I like to get out of Brisbane for a week or so around my birthday in September. This year I decided to plan a road trip which would take myself, Captain Terror and catscatcat22 on a 2700km loop of southern Queensland and northern New South Wales. We were gone from the 18-24 September and visited Dalby, Miles, Tara, Surat, St. George, Lightning Ridge, Walgett, Coonabarabran, Tamworth, Uralla, Armidale, Maclean, Yamba then came home following the coast road.

This was the 46th cache for me for the trip and the last one for the day. We had just finished dinner and were about to head back to the tent for a shower and bed but we needed to grab this one first. We pulled up in the subaru and headed down towards GZ. We walked behind the trees instead of down the path as we could hear muggles.

Captain Terror jumped in to start looking for the cache and luckily it only took a few moments. We signed our names in the logbook and he replaced the container as found. Thanks for the cache handlel.

For Net88’s birthday this year, she, Captain Terror, and I went on a road trip of awesomeness, taking us out west from Brisbane.
A total of six days, our whirlwind adventure took us West through Dalby, Miles, Tara and Surat, and then South through Lightning Ridge (the farthest West I’d been!). Then we’d continue South through Walgett, Pilliga, Baradine, and Coonabarabran to Tamworth. Then it was through Uralla to Armidale, and Maclean to Yamba, and finally back to Brisbane.
We saw kangaroos, emus, baby emus, kookaburras, giant guitars, so many sunsets, and so many snacks, thanks to the help of Snackman.
A nice holiday from work, it was also a great excuse to pick up geocaches along the way.

When in Country New South Wales, it would be rude to not visit the pub for a brew and steak for dinner. Indeed, we'd just done exactly that, but before retiring to the campgrounds to look at tomorrow's plans and hit the sack, we had one more find to make.

From 18 to 24 September, Net88, catscatscats22 and I embarked on a road trip to see some different parts of Australia. We drove from home in Brisbane to Dalby, Miles, Tara, Surat, St. George, Lightning Ridge, Walgett, Coonabarabran, Tamworth, Armidale, Yamba and home again, a drive of over 2700 kilometres, a few nights camping and 122 geocache visits to guide us along the way.

Thanks to heavy filtering due to time constraints, this would be our eighth and last find in Tamworth. With torches in hand, we arrived well after dark for the hunt. A few folks were in the park, but out of sight. For some reason, I was made to do the bulk of the looking - I suspect as a sacrifice to potential hiding bitey things in the bushes.

I managed to find and fiddle with a couple of things that were not the geocache, but then I checked the obvious 'thingy' and had the container in hand. It sure is a beaut build and blends in wonderfully. The logbook was signed, then all replaced as found. An enjoyable end to a day geocaching ~450km from home. Thanks for this geocache handlel

#7238 Found and Logged at 9:34:00 AM
One of 9 caches on what was a lazy day of caching around Tamworth
Thanks for the cache handlel

Well done a very nicely concealed cache, TNLN thanks.

Thanks a lot for the cache. Nice one . Thanks from Germany

Tftc, very clever.

TFTC.

Wow awesome cache, favorite points from me, I had a cache here for a while, hope this one stays put

Gotcha !!! TFTC Nice work.

Sorry, it looks like a case of mistaken identity. My apologies.

Not sure why cache is currently disabled as it is in place! FP awarded

Quick maintenance check, apparently the local police had a cache handed in as a suspicious item, turns out to be a case of mistaken identity and not this cache. All good still in good condition and ready to go. at the moment the other cache can be found at the local police station !!!!

It appears that this one may have been removed. I'm disabling to allow the owner to check.

Tftc easy find love cache

Quick find love the container and camo. Tftc

This was a big cache, a lot of effort put into this one...thx

Got it first cache for a new family activity. Placed a stick on tattoo in side.. Looking forward to finding more

Glad our caching skills weren't underpowered today or we might never have found the cache. Great hide in lovely old park. TFTC handlel, fav from us.

Great! I found this with my granddaughter. A very clever hide, well done.

FTF. Woohoo. Love being the first. Very clever hide and great to have a good sized cache in town for trackables
