Will relocate to a safer place later
 
04-Jun-07
I think its time to get this one fixed and back online.
 
14-Jan-07
Yes it's gone again.

May have to move it a bit.

Will put together a new one when back from holidays.

 
08-Jan-07
Looked for a while and couldnt find it.
Called a friend but it was not in the place they described.
You may want to check that it is still there.
 
05-Jan-07
We had a look for this one and couldnt find hide nor hair of it. As soon as we arrived mrs MODU said this looks like Marian, and that was a cache that took us three visits and a hint to find, so we started off badly and things didnt look up from there. 20 minutes later still no joy, so this one is on our DNF list. MODU.
 
01-Jan-07
Our second attempt at this one with no luck. We even phoned the too blue help line to confirm that we were looking in the right place putting our hands in every crack we could find with much annoyance from a number of spiders. Our conclusion: either it has been muggled or we are completely blind. SadSad Our new years resolution is to find this cache.
 
19-Oct-06
Found easily, with no small muggles around, school's not out yet!! Just workman over the fence!
TNLNSL
Thanks too blue
 
06-Oct-06

03-Oct-06
Looked for ages, but found it eventually. Clever hide. satloc was all over the place.
 
03-Oct-06
Had us circling, but in the end Pryopr grabbed up the cache! Found with Poodle-Smoodle and Pryor. TFTC
 
03-Oct-06
Nice! Very clever little hide. Took a while to find but it gave me a lot of satisfaction when I was the one to find it in my group.

23-Sep-06
Thought I'd try this as a night time cache.
Didn't count on the clouds opening up, started to rain as I reached GZ.Sad
Will have to try this again with fairer skies.[|)]
 
10-Sep-06

This was our 2nd attempt at this one.. found it fairly quick this time.. sure we looked there last time

TNLNSL
 
09-Sep-06
Too cold for muggles today so this was an easy find despite the sight of a muggle's crack from a nearby worksite
 
29-Aug-06
This one really took me awhile but finally i found it. Nice hiding. TNLNSL
 
28-Aug-06
Cool I know its in the playground, but didnt want to scrounge around the swings looking for it, could look a bit sus grown man crawling around. Smile)

Found at 5:30pm with a friend new to Geocaching. Good hide - used the hint. SL
Thankyou 'too blue'
 
20-Aug-06
This was our 3rd no find for the day.. Next time might be better
 
01-Aug-06
Well hidden, I needed the hint to find it.
 
30-Jul-06
Nice tricky spot, well done.

Cheers

Found on second attempt. We got very close last time but had to leave due to lack of time. It was obvious this time.
 
A tough find on my second shot at this! Nice hide. TNLNSL
 
19-May-06
found it
 
19-May-06
good first find for the new gps.
had a ball trying to find it in the dark until we literally stubbled upon it.

awesome camo.

Took a while to find this, but time on the hunt did us proud. Thanks for the find TNLN
 
25-Apr-06
Second try on this one. Surely we looked there last time! TNLNSL.
 
23-Apr-06
Went back to this one after failing to find it a few weeks back. This time it took only 2 minutes to locate. The GPS was quite settled this time round. Found by Nic and Dave from Hardunits. TNLNSL. Cheers.
 
15-Apr-06
Always feels good to walk straight up to a cache with no muggles in sight. Tried to make it a little less obvious, to avoid it falling into the wrong hands.
TNLNSL
 
02-Apr-06
Ranger family walked around for about 20 mins as the sat lock was rather dodgy, without success even though we saw a number of likley places. We were eventually interupted by 2 groups of muggles. Will try at a later date after reading all of the logs.
 
01-Apr-06
Found 20:45. Caching in the dark, or by the glow of GPSr screen light can be quite difficult. Had to trust in the force of the GPS gods, short search found with little difficulty. TNLNSL. Cheers.
 
30-Mar-06
Tree coverage sent me all over the place, but eventually spotted something that looked out of place.

Hi,

Nice spot, found it without too much trouble and my 14month old son got to have a play while there Smile.

We actually live around 400m from this cache, so it was nice and convenient!.

Left a 'fortune' Smile

-TeamFunkNinjas!
 
03-Feb-06
The GPSr lead me a merry dance for a while and while the kids played I hunted, i looked in all the usual places cachers look in playgrounds and then widened the search and then finally success. TNLNSL Thanx.
 
28-Jan-06
1st attempt. Last week, had no idea what we were lookin for.
2nd attempt. Today,walked into the park the same time as a muggle family, waited 20 mins for them to leave, they didn't, we did.
3rd Attempt. Came back an hour later, all safe, found the cache, Signed Log. Cheers From the Barrmundi's.
PS: Hey Too Blue, we've found both of your caches now. Smile

PSS: Dropped the stylus from our Palm on the way back to the bus, which had another search and a "FOUND IT" at this spot.
 
09-Jan-06
Cache container was found after a short search. When we opened it there was no paper inside? Further investigation showed the log paper underneath the slippery dip on top of a pile of bark like a flag on a sand castle. We retreived it, put it all back together and placed it where it belonged. Think someone needs to look at the location of the cache and maybe changing it due to muggle activity.

THANKS

Found this cache when I was still a member of Beakers Bunch.
Thankyou
 
27-Dec-05
A very sneaky cache hide. Found with assistance from C.A.S. TNLNSL
Thanks
BB
 
10-Dec-05
Reasonably easy, pen ran out though, so will rewrite soon.

Thanks for the cache
 
09-Dec-05
Was not sure what i was looking for so didn't find the micro. Maybe next time.
 
04-Dec-05
Quite an easy one, As i explaind to our neset recruit on the weekend, you need to think "where would i hide a cahce".
Nice one.
 
22-Nov-05
New one back in it's hidy hole.
 
13-Nov-05
I'm feeling a bit blue.
I checked this one yesterday and looks like it has gone for a walk.
Will replace soon.
 
11-Sep-05
Found by Richary, Fabiana and the 2 mini Fabettes. Spotted it first then pointed the kids in the right general direction for their first ever find. Only about 500m up the road from their place and they loved it. By cache 2 they decided the treasure hunt was more fun than kite flying (the other proposed day's activity), by cache 3 they were asking mum if they could have a GPS for Christmas. What have I started?

TNLNSL, no muggles around between showers today. Thanks too blue.
 
11-Sep-05
Tricky hiding place. Thanks too blue.
 
08-Sep-05
Just passing and saw the waypoint! Quick detour to the rear and an inspection of the area revealed a small white pill container containing a green log. Funny about that, the paper should have been blue.
Signed log and replaced as dusk was falling.
Cheers,
Lead 'n Lace.
 
31-Jul-05
Found it pretty easy second time around with the use of the clue. Needed to use the MiniZyths to distract a nearby muggle but the cache is in the perect position for a discrete recovery. Local hoons on mini-motorcycles gave a further distraction to muggle-mum and the mugglettes.
TNLN as to be expected.
 
30-Jul-05
Found after a short search this time. Thanks guys.
 
29-Jul-05
A quick easy find. I had my doubts after reading the log from zytheran, he must have had a bad day, I found a second one that he missed as well.
The cache name eludes me though.
thanks
 
26-Jul-05
found andrew&leesa..

breifly walked in circles until the gps pointed straight to it....

Found quickly then. TNLNSL.

Whats the name mean?
Andrew&Leesa
 
14-Jul-05

It's still there in its hidy hole.
 
11-Jul-05
Well, these days happen.Sad The first of 2 no finds today. Found the perfect place for a micro but it wasn't there.
 
09-Jul-05
A lot of muggles around especially pre-school variety.
Needed 2 trips to locate
 
20-Jun-05
Found by Mary & David at 1130. A pretty little park with magnificent gums. Just a pity that the rain began again in earnest as we arrived. It eased soon after though, enough for us to find and log the cache under our umbrellas. Surprised to see a log from Team Crackers from earlier today. A coincidence - we hadn't realised that they were in town. Had a chat on the phone later on. Our thanks to Too Blue.
 
20-Jun-05
Pleasant little area especially if you had Geo-kids, very wet today so no trouble with muggles, searched for about ten minutes before we found it, the GPS couln't make up it's mind where it thought it was.
Thanks too blue for a break in the drive
 
12-Jun-05
YAY! I found it, after a brief search of the area. Had Kids and Wife with me this time.

 
05-Jun-05
Looked and Looked and couldn't find. Had fun on the equipment with #1 Son. Will come back again.
 
30-May-05
Our last one for the day and our 3yrold was very happy, especially when it took us little while longer than expected to find it! Clever hide, great spot for geokids. Thanks. Monday arvo, Muggle free!
 
21-May-05
Found this afternoon 13:55 no mugglets around. didn't seem too far off GZ.
Thanx too blu
regards
spotts Big Grin
 
14-May-05
After quick look found. Olian
 
13-May-05
Not a soul around when I grabbed this on at 1430 on Friday the 13th. Had to look for a while, and initially homed in on the equipment. But taking into account the loc of GZ and the size of the cache, it could only be in one place – and there it is Big Grin TNLNSL. Thanks Too Blue.
 
25-Apr-05
MintSlice was here a few days ago with Freckle but as council muggles were cutting branches of nearby tree she was prevented from having a good look. Today C.A.S. returned in full force and the cache was soon retrieved. GeoTackers were very happy with the facilities. Thanks Too Blue ... mate ... buddy ... pal Big Grin
 
23-Apr-05
Returned to the scene of the action with a couple of tadpoles. Blending in we were able to check the area properly. The prize was soon ours.
 
22-Apr-05
Found it without my GPS after the last visit. I read the bit about the size and had a better look around.
 
21-Apr-05
Didnt have much in the way of notes with me, as i havent been in the office to update my PDA recently.

Spent a few mins looking around, before muggle activity began, which provided me with a sign that i should come back another time more prepared.
 
18-Apr-05

Very clever hide!! I wouldn’t have known this place was there if it hadn’t been for the cache. It’s good to have spots like this to provide some relief from the hustle and bustle of life.

Thanks Too Blue

Clear skies
TeamAstro
(Oh, GZ was 5m off for me - anything less +/- 7m is all you can expect at worst. Sometimes you get lucky though Big Grin. Could see where some hens had been scratching. No worms there though! ).
 
17-Apr-05
Had two goes at this one today.

First time was not a sucess due to an excess of mugglets.

Second time 40 minutes later was muggle free. Hee says me.

15 minutes later I walked away with a sad face.

GZ seemed to be spot on for me but I am buggered if I could find it. If it is actually there. Maybe a quick check??
 
17-Apr-05
The bronze once again goes to Parrots on a lovely Sunday afternoon. Smile
Jnr Parrot found it. Our GPS put us within 4 metres of GZ.
I was wandering around in circles not doing much when Amber found it. A Blue pill top om the ground had a little concerned it might be gone but that was not the case.
Signed log and moved on to St Martins.
 
14-Apr-05
Spent a while looking maybe if we had seen the last log we may have found it though that was around where we were looking even though GZ was showing up about 5m away from there.
 
13-Apr-05
On second visit found within 2 seconds, Map60c was 5 metres out, Kangaroo and duck are having fun.
TNLN
Thanks Too Blue
 
12-Apr-05
Went to the area without notes so had no idea what I was looking for.
 
10-Apr-05
Yahoooo! FTF I love them!
This certainly is a popular little area. Fortunately all the local mugglets were engrosed in their footy game & ignored my presence. TNLNSL. Cheers.
