Why in a Park? Quoiba, Tasmania, Australia
By thatguy007 on 09-Aug-05. Waypoint GCQ2JC

Checked it out, it's definitly missing.

Wasn't one of my best caches, so I'll perminently archive it to improve the ratio of good to bad caches in our great state.

We also looked for this cache & even fired up the laptop to check GSAK when we couldn't find it from the coords alone. We quickly came to the same conclusion that the cache had been muggled .

Ok, seems fairly obvious that I need to check this one out.

We agree that it is probably gone lots of rubbish around the area. Too bad. At least the walk did us good.

The rocks were a give away but I fear that the houses nearby may contain people that see the site too easily.
I looked in every crevice and under the obvious rock.
There were signs of what was contents.
It is definately gone.

Pity

It is a nice park

TFT views.

found after walking 2km to it lift tb "highlander" took yellow tons

easy find thanks nice park

Easy find.In full view..rehid a little better.Type of container is it's own cammo,I suspect.Replaced ziploc..TNLNSL Cheers thatguy.

No worries finding this one - walked straight up to it. Tried to conceal t as best I could... TNLNSL...

Twenty-first of twenty-three finds for the Launceston to Devonport day of my assault on Northern Tasmania. Things always look different in the cold light of day, and at night it is very easy to miss things that are not blindingly obvious. Consequently, I made a complete circuit of Wiena Crescent without finding a way into the park. I was about to go around again when I saw the way in. It was plain sailing from that point, and I found the cache at 1905. It was pretty exposed, but I covered it as best I could. Thanks to thatguy007 for the cache.

Actually, the cache name recalled an memory from a previous camping trip to Wilpena Pound in South Australia. One of my mates decided to call it "Why pee in the pound". The name has stuck with me ever since. Just thought I'd mention it.

IN: 2 × Super balls
OUT: Screwdriver

Cache #7 @ 9:45am

For some strange reason i felt like someone was watching me, i hate caches like this but i know if i lived in one of those houses i would do the same and hide a cache in view of my lounge room

supported the local shop buy purchasing a couple of drinks.

Found this one while killing time. Our 4WD club vehicles have just come over on the boat, but we still have to wait for the rest of our passengers to arrive by plane, so while they are all waiting at the airport . . . .

A very easy find, the cache container blends in with all the rest of the plastic rubbish that seems to find its way into this sort of crevice.

Nice easy stroll through the park to a very obvious clue. Cache was easy to find, but it felt like all eyes were upon us.

Not too hard to find, but the dead bird right next to the cache was a bit off putting for the junior crawfs!! Lots of muggles and dogs around but a nice rest on a nearby bench made filling out the log easy. Took suction ball and left tweenie. Thanks.

Because there are sticks in the park! This park gets Snuva's award for Best Pocket Park in the Dog Stick category! I kept finding lots of great sticks!! And I was dancing all over the park. . .especially as there were other dogs shut away in their back gardens, unable to play! Also found the cache ; it was EXTREMELY exposed.

Gel-pen dropped into cache.

Found. Great camo - with all the other garbage people have tossed into the hiding spot, the yogurt container blends right in.
There was no pen, so had to mark the log with mud - sorry. Thanks for the cache.

Exactly

I wouldn't ask "Why in a park?", more like "Why in THIS park?".

TNLN, felt extreme GeoCringe

Rated: for Overall Experience

A clever hide, although we did feel rather exposed, with all the muggles from surrounding houses, looking out upon us through their windows. Or was it simply geo-cringe on our part??

Thanks thatguy. It's a nice little park. LNTNSL

young biomes4 found with friend got wet feet ,swooped by plovers have moved to this area. took bouncy ball left sticky ball SL .

nice easy find while teaching mama tack to use the gps t dog l elephant sl thanks that guy

found by caching dynamo great place execpt for the pluvers that swooped and the swamp that I sunk in

took car left b-ball

An easy find, felt a little conspicuous with all those loungeroom windows watching us search, but it's easy to look normal while being anything but when you have kids

the local plovers are a little nervous about our presense, maybe they have babies nearby....

took ball, left a different ball

thanks That Guy.

Proof that my youngest daughter (3) is addicted to geocaching.
She again refused to go to daycare today, It was only when I suggested geocaching that she agreed.

Therefore, since this cache is close to her daycare centre, I am visiting my own cache. We parked in the carpark and went to "find" it.
She held my hand and stomped in the puddles on her way to the cache. She found it and greedily grabbed 3-4 items to swap , I had to make her put all but one back, again she told me that she wanted to show her daycarer her "geocaching", as she calls the swaps.

Lookout stats leaders, you may have some competition in a few years!!!

Tagging along with Team A for part of their BIG day of caching. Got this one relatively easily, despite the fact that it felt like a thousand pairs of eyes were on me! But I'm probably just paranoid (where's my tinfoil hat anyway?).

There seemed to be quite a lot of hostile fauna in the area today too (yes Craig... I *do* mean _fauna_ this time), what with the angry dogs and agressive plovers!

Anyways, thanks ThatGuy! No swaps with me (my bad), so TNLNSL!

22 cache for the day and the first cache where i was able to spot the cache hiding spot from where we parked the car.

After being the only one kind enough to the Fauna not to walk through its nesting area It was still I that spotted the cache . A million locals spotted me signing the log (how many lounge room windows can look at a single cache???)

This is an area that i am very fond of, i grew up riding my bike around this park and getting up to no good.

Thanks for a chance to experience geo-cringe while reliving my childhood thatguy

Rather boggy park. Lots of dogs barking and plovers making noise. Left bouncy ball and took silly putty, signed log. Cheers Quilter

I think atleast every second house had a barking dog, oh well hopefully we didnt attract too much attention, I remember the days back in miandetta primary I used to walk through that park to a friends house, but they have built houses in the way now by the looks of things

Guessed where this one would be as we walked up the park.
Lots of potential for being observed here.
Left a dalmation (I think) and took the little bear.

Nice easy find...
Plenty of barking dogs...Boggy ground

Took Lion
Left Teddy Bear KeyRing

Easy find in a park where you feel everone is looking at you. Luckily no-one was(I think). Took TB left toy car.

It was just a walk in the park…easy to find in a lovely area. Watch out for the plovers near this one they may sneak up on you.

A new cache in easy lunchtime caching distance from work? - hey I'm up for the challenge - but so was Hingrock who got there first

Got a bit of canine geocringe getting this one I mean just how may dogs can bark at once?

Had to console myself (for not being FTF ) by having something nice from nearby . . . TNLNSL thanks tg007

FTF on a very frosty morning.

Had a bit of the FTF whore in me today. So I decided that I would grab this on the way to work this morning. Might not have been the best idea getting frostbite while signing log.

Dropped off TB Duck around the World in an area that avoids the snow. I thinks he may need to go further north if this weather keeps up.

Took mini recorder
Left Pink cow.

Thanks TG007
