Alright, due to consistent juvenile muggle activity (which is a good thing, we want them to use their parks) this location is no longer suitable for such a cache.
 
07-Aug-21
Too many muggles today to investigate so disabled for the moment
 
28-Jul-21
Had another go at this one seeing the spot was completely devoid of any Muggle activity with the exception of the odd Motorist Muggle

'If' this hide is in one of the tyres i was unsuccessful in my intense search.

This one may be worth a CO check given the string of DNF's

Thanks for the challenge anyways

Found gtr and rocks but no cache. Wish I’d read the activity before driving all the way in here. Oh well. Won’t be back for this one.

Found the gtr and some rocks but no cache. Would be great if cache was maintained to avoid needless travel, assuming this was the right spot. No muggles at the time.

Found the GTR and some rocks an Easter egg no cache.

This one was too good for me today.

Having read more logs back at home i can guess i was in the right area so i will have another go at this one soon Wink
The irony of it was the whole area was Muggle free too, lol.

TFT Challenge anyways Smile

Today we set out from home toward the Forestier Peninsula to visit our friend Porkchop6977, with a side-trip to Richmond along the way. It turned out to be our biggest caching day so far, with a total of 14 finds (11 traditional caches, two mystery caches, and one letterbox hybrid).

We headed out to dinner with Porkchop, and still had a little bit of daylight left when it was time to return to our overnight lodgings. Naturally, we figured we'd spend that time tracking down a few more caches! Primrose Sands was only a short detour on the way and we'd never had the chance to go caching there before, so we quickly made a beeline in that direction.

This ended up being our last find for the day, hunted down as the sun was beginning to slip below the horizon. Arriving at the GZ, we immediately had a feeling for where the cache might be hiding out. The GeoHubby, hunting around for the cache, found a likely looking rock and carelessly tossed it away when he didn't find the cache behind it. Luckily the GeoWife had her wits about her and suggested a closer look, leading to a very sheepish recovery of the cache by the GeoHubby!

A lovely place to finish an exciting day of caching!

TFTC!

While out about with Whitewebbs we headed to Forcett and down to Sommers Bay and surrounds to find some caches and this was one of them.

An easy find at GZ after finding the right hidy hole! cache and contents were in good condition.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Found a bit of a search. Good one.
 
Bloody muggles!

we had to come here three times before the coast was clear, and then it was a simple matter of finding the cache in a good location I like this hide for using something perfect at GZ.

Fav point for sure.

Thanks for the cache.

It took three visits to the park before we ventured off to look for this cache. Muggles kids made it too risky on the first two visits so we found other ones and left this until last. Fortunately we were lucky on this third visit. At GZ we checked the wrong place first but then I noticed the hint. Stainless steel rat has to do the extraction as my hand is not back to full strength yet. It was certainly well hidden but I spotted a flash of colour from just the right angle.
Thanks NAFFrunner, we're off to paradise next Cool

Tassie Trip Day 90 - It has been a great trip so far about half way now so today was to finish off the area we were in yesterday and after making a mystery find we went on to primrose sands to collect those wonderful hides.

Its another park well that was all the similarity we had with the search comming up trumps and the cache log was signed and returned to that wonderful place.

Thanks NAFFrunner for bring us here to cache.

Thanks for the cache NAFFrunner. This was a nice little stop on our caching adventures today. Was out and about with RLD4963 and the GeoGSP making the most of the beautiful sunny weather. Lovely little park. Cheers.

We finished the Sugar Loaf Series and came into Primrose Sands to look for this cache.
Our GPS was all over the show here today but a bit of a search discovered a hide that we have not seen used before and what a good one it was.
Another favourite for this one.
Thanks NAFFrunner.

After finding the eight caches in the "Stumps of Sugarloaf" series, we continued on to look for some other caches in the area. This was one of them.

As we walked towards GZ we were wondering about the meaning of the hint but all fell into place as soon as we saw the area. The hint and accurate coordinates led to a quick find. thanks nAFFrunner for the cache.
 
14-Sep-18
Out and about collecting 9 new caches in the area and this was the 8th find today. When we arrived the workmen were in the play area and they had whipper snipped the area where GZ was but all good. The hint made sense when at GZ and a cache was found and signed. Thanks for placing a few more caches in the area. TFTC

Timing of publication last night prevented an attempt at Ftf and that was fortunate as we would have been beaten. This morning deviated on the way up the east coast and found out we were following whitewebbs through. Interesting area and well worth a cache. A little tired now so will relax on a pleasant drive north!!
