high muggle area

I noticed that this cache has been temporarily disabled for a period of time well in excess of the period of "a few weeks" as contemplated by the cache guidelines published on Geocaching.com. While I feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for you and block other caches from entering the area around this cache for a reasonable amount of time, we can't do so forever. Please either repair/replace this cache, or archive it (using the *archive listing* link in the upper right) so that someone else can place a cache in the area, and geocachers can once again enjoy visiting this location.

If you plan on repairing this cache, **please log a note to the cache** (not email) within the next 28 days so I don't archive the listing for non-communication. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date, if you do not then you cache may be archived without further note from a reviewer. Caches archived due to lack of maintenance are no longer unarchived and you will need to submit a replacement as a new cache.

Disabled for the moment

Searched everywhere with no luck, thinking it might not be here should be checked with 2 dnf’s

Quick park and grab TFTC

After a long time of searching, we finally found the cache. The storms had clearly knocked it from position so not 100% on where it belongs. Big thanks to coco-puffs for their help!

Got it TFTC

CACHE #116
Found at 11:00hrs, 2 of 6 located today.

DNF 3 or 4 times previously, which I blame on a lack of experience, and cache blindness. Today however, I walked to GZ and it was in the second place I looked. This cache is...
• tiny and can be easily overlooked (from 29/09/2018, thanks missTeesha), and
• magnetic

Signed log and replaced exactly as found. TFTC

Muggle sat right next to GZ! I found it, and explained what I was doing and moved in.

#5484 (1 of 3 today)

Strange day today. We got three separate package deliveries at home and none were for Geoson #2 - usually he gets EVERY package!
Then I had a rendezvous that the Geokids would have been annoyed if I'd missed...
Finally I was free to grab some caches so headed out west for two recent hides and a previous DNF.
Found all three, two totally muggle free.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Three teenage muggles in the playground when I arrived, but luckily I had correctly guessed the right GZ last time so it was an quick and easy grab, with the muggles none the wiser - two of them seemed to only have eyes for each other but that's a separate matter.

Moved away to complete signing duties and then they thoughtfully left before I went back for the replace. Phew!

Fortunately there was nobody about. It was a quick find after reading the logs. TFTC

So tiny and missed it 3 times!! Look closely

Keep ypur eyes peeled good hiding spot

Back again in Sydney to help and make life a little easier for my son and today it was time to add a few more smileys to my list.
The first eight finds today all were in parks or children's playgrounds which are not the ideal areas for an ageing Bushfire to be searching in.
Thankfully again this playground was deserted so I could search without anybody watching so thanks to HubbyandMrs for placing and maintaining this cache.
Again I missed this little fella on my first sweep of the area and good to see various types of hides being used in this series. I had to return to the White Beast for a tool to extract the log.

Found with Toriaz

Geocache No: 621
Time: 13:16
Condition: Good
Experience: This was our third Geocache for the day. We had stopped caching for a long time and decided we really wanted to get back to it and start hitting the find count that we really should be at. So, we decided to head out and got 11 for today.
This cache was easily accessible, easily found and in good condition.
Couldn't believe how easy this was considering the muggles sitting there eating their lunch. Luckily there was a dodgy sign there that I was able to use as a distraction and got away with the cache.
We didn't come up with much of a disturbance and we replaced the cache as found.

Thank you for the cache.

Fourth find for the day. Bikerbuddy & I both did the obligatory ride on the flying fox before looking for the cache. Thought we were going to be the first to sign the new log, but someone was there ahead of us today.

Nice park, but the amount of garbage left by people is appalling. Someone has smashed a beer bottle, so there is broken glass on the ground. We sat at the table to sign the log, but had to chose our spots carefully to avoid sitting on the gravy & other mess spilled on the seats. And after considering the 'art' drawn on the table, got into a debate about what the collective noun for that was. We came up with one that we were satisfied with, but I will respect this being a family friendly game and won't write it here . Such a pity that inconsiderate people are spoiling such a nice park for kids.

Thanks

It appears this cache had been muggled. It has now been replaced and is ready to go again

Nothing for me either. And I had the park to myself.

Probably MIA, my paf told me where to look, but it not there.

Muggled out.

Streak Day #1841 - Saved this one as i have a friend that lives down the road and we were going to dinner so we stopped in for a quick cache and dave8153 also decided to have a play on the flying fox the big kid that he is lol. TFTC

I came here a week ago, but was muggled out. Today was similar, but just a kid and his dad. Ended up having geo-intro-chat. They were fascinated and could join the geo-world.

Quick find.

Thanks HubbyandMrs for the cache.

Cache find No. 2626
Streak Day: 952

Headed here after work today with Snoopy1976. Was in the second place we looked. TFTC

Just a quick find before work. I've been so busy lately that i won't manage to get all the souvenirs this time.
Thanks for the cache.

Tftc! A top spot for a cache

Sorted the cache on approach. Had to wait for muggles to leave. TFTC

Handy hint: there's no line up for the flying fox at night time! We had lots of immature fun here while all the kids were home sleeping. You're never too old for a turn! TFTC!

Well you can't come to a park with a flying fox and not have a turn....no matter how old you are.TFTC

Muggles all over the park, so I left, and will return in the near future.

A quick and easy find whilst out walking the dog early Sunday morning.

Deep_99 was ready to drive away as there were too many kids and parents in the park (argh school holidays), but just at that moment he got a phone call so I rushed into the park while he was distracted, spotted the cache, retrieved it, and returned to the car where we both signed it, drove around the block, entered from the other street and walked in together to look a little less suss. I also decided to have a few goes on the flying fox (wheee). SL #3643 on streak day #2199 TFTC

Quick find with RIS768 for a afternoon cache, thanks HubbyandMrs for placing this cache.


Log 1505 Streak Day 559

Thought I would find another one of my these caches - TFTC HubbyandMrs, I really enjoyed it!

Luckily I ran into WaywardWoman here and she had already explained to the muggles sitting right at Gz what we were doing. As a lone male I never would have got this today otherwise!?!

TFTC.

#4644- After dropping the youngest at work, I headed out here hoping for a quick find. I arrived at the park to find two woman sitting very close by and about six kids on the equipment. I pondered whether to go and come back later. Nope- the direct approach.
I told the ladies exactly what I was doing. Found it and returned to show them. They were fascinated and we're going home to look it up, thinking it may be good to do with the kids in the holidays. As I was leaving,, I spotted the yellow bird. I walked back with him, exchanged a few words with the ladies again and headed off to the other one neither of us had done.
Thanks- instant find!

Quick find and play for the big kids haha tftc

Nice quick find and even had time for a turn on flying fox. TFTC

Published

(FTF) [FTF] {FTF} WAHOO! I saw this one published this morning and thought oh well .. missed out.
Worked today.
Grab my find for my steak. Then noticed this one still has not been found. Maybe I could get lucky?
FTF hounds hiding from the cold, I did indeed get lucky.
Searched a couple of places in the dirt then found it... but I believe it's not meant to be there. So I've placed back in original location.
I'm going for a ride on the swing now...
WAHOO.
Tftc

Find number 4147.

Our second cache for the night, and after some poking around Mr Booo soon had the cache in hand. Mrs Booo did the signing and we returned the cache as found.

Thanks HubbyandMrs for placing this cache.
