Maitland Park by Kingfisher_au

On holidays in Nelson Bay we (me and my junior cacher, Andy) decided to take a day trip to Maitland to chase some caches. After the Road to Maitland we headed into Maitland Park to chase the four caches there, but success was limited. TFTCes though Kingfisher_au!

ANZAC Cenotaph - Found, nice hide!
Stuck BY the seat of your pants - DNF after significant search. Too tricky for us?
Get Courted - DNF, pretty sure this one is gone
Maitland Park - DNF, pretty sure this one is gone

Found with shaneo58 doing some around the Maitland Area, Getting a late start due to an appointment, getting windy during the day. got a bit of a start on the doghead trail and an AL as well this was a bit trickier as it had fallen to the ground, so NB was face down. It had trouble stinking back, so my need a new magnet. This is the 3rd cache of 28 for today. Log signed and caches replaced as found. Thanks For The Cache Aussieben

Nice quick find.
We love the variety of cache containers.
We give this a favourite point.
Lucky we didn't come here on a Saturday, as there'd be hundreds of people here.

I joined a trip to Maitland with Aquilus1, dty73, Tankengine, Barb2e, Kitty Katch & Joolay. The weekends main game was to do the dogs head series, but along the way we did some old caches around Sydney and did as many Maitland caches as time allowed. The return journey was via some old caches and some challenges that may or may not be met one day.

Day 3's target was a trip to Frying Pan. The trip was great and the caches along the way and there lots of fun. I was very disappointed at just how many people were camping in a spot like this, I cannot see how it could be enjoyed. The afternoon was finished in Maitland with the Walka Lake Adventure Lab, a fun diversion.

Thanks for the cache Aussieben

Today we are starting our tiny tour of Australia. Mostly enjoying the area and picking up caches when possible.

We were spending the night nearby and needed a bit of a walk-about before tucking in for the evening. Had a walk to this one, and found the cache with no issues.

I drove around Maitland Park but as I got close got confused as I couldn't see the old Courthouse anywhere. All I could see was some netball place! I parked across the road (only car in the car-park - nothing suss!) and looked across at all the netball courts ... Oh ... I see .... I really should read the cache descriptions earlier. Anyway I appreciate seeing "beginners cache" as it means the is (slightly) more chance that I will get a find Big Grin . The hint is clear, and I'm sure some will really appreciate this, as this particular type of cache hind can really be invisible to those who haven't encountered it before. In any case, I put my scuba gear on and soon found the very nice cache and added my name to the log then replaced as found. TFTC

PS Nice background image! Cheers
