I was grabbed by the name - my kids grew up with Play School, but was always a bit worried about parking here. However, this afternoon, I managed to find a spot to pull off the Highway (always a bit dodgy) and walked back to look for the cache. Hmmm, thought I, that's a likely looking tree... be warned that there are lots of brambles of clinging vines that trip you up! Yes, that's the voice of experience! And, FYI - the tree had nothing to do with the cache! And when the Entry said that the Cache Container was "Large", they were right! I LUVED the Log Book!! 2 FPs for hitting my memories and the Log Book but -1 FP because if was tripped by the vines and scrapped my legs! Despite all that, Great Cache!!

Out and about in the area finding a few caches to top up my 'My Finds' calendar to help with completing another loop ... And with a short break in the weather, I was able to stay dry as well. It is not often I get to sign something other than a piece of paper so a fav point for that. Thanks for the cache.

Found by Mary and David at 15:25. Parked close by and we soon made acquaintance with the friendly bear, and gave him our autograph. Definitely a FP for this one. Great sized container, but its lid is cracked. Dropped off "Survivor: The Tribe Has Spoken" TB and retrieved "Allezes" TB. Our thanks to TransScout.

Day 123 of our greynomad trip up north from Vic which started in June, and day 122 of a streak.With QOGM done and dusted for it's final year we are heading the caravan towards home, well sort off. Goal is to tick off LGA's and missing sectors in 360 degrees from home. Cache sounded interesting so we pulled the caravan over and I made the short trip to GZ.TFTC TB's visited A FP from us.

What a fantastic cache - we don’t see large ones very often and where you record your visit is pretty cool too. Drppoed off a TB and a lucky Chinese Feng Shui coin - favourite point from me

Yep there’s a bear in there! After a walk up Wilson’s Peak, the green geckos & I saw on our map a large container in the area & we came to claim it and was surprised at the simple but quite effective hide.
This was the first time I’ve seen a bear used this way in a cache, Have a fav point on me.

It was suggested that, as it was my birthday, and as we had had a wonderful cup cake day in town, that we had out and take a look at this cache.

Open Wide, Come Inside - did that and found the most beautiful log book. Thanks for hiding this here TranScout & Eco. Nice finish to a great day

I'm staying locally for a couple of days and picking up a few caches here and there with geo friends.
Nice little cache set-up, and it was good to see something different for a change.

Thank you, TransScout, Eco, for placing this cache for our benefit and enjoyment, a favourite point coming your way

I am pretty sure when this cache was put out a week or so ago it had a different name and it was about a Pandora’s box.

Anyway today I decided to get this one as I realised it was a large cache. I think I got to get another large cache to complete several challenges.

This one is the first log of this type that I have signed. Glad the bear was in there. Play School going back more then 55 years for me.

Thanks for this one have it a favourite point for the novelty of it and bringing back Play School memories

{FTF} Saw this 'little' gem appear and said to the geodog Scruffy "grab ur stuff - we're off. There's a ftf just down the road."
At first was a little worried when I saw what was in the container, but after re-reading the description the cache was soon monikered.

All good ... TFTC ...
