The Flats Wagga Wagga, New South Wales, Australia
By Roostaman on 20-Nov-05. Waypoint GCRCTH

Having completed an audit against my finds and those of The Wackys, now logging those that I have missed. Many caches over a number of years. These days I actually keep up.

Thanks for thecache.

Found with Robtas and/or The Wackys

Cached

A very late log I'm afraid, having just completed a thorough reconciliation of finds whilst out on adventures with Cached and/or Robtas - slacky Wacky missed just a few (cough cough)
Many thanks Roostaman from the Wacky one

too many muggles around here now, not a safe place for a cache any more.

Access to the cache has definitely changed lately.

A whole new BBQ area has been built near this one.

Offline until I can move it somewhere nearby.

Looks like the area has changed so not sure if it is still there and heaps of muggles around.

Had 5 nights here at Wylie Park & The Flats was there just waiting to be found.
This is a great spot for cachers with caravans to stay while caching in the Wagga area.
Had a couple of night with pprass who located it while we were here.

Found at 1:53 PM GAFF1. We were camping at this park and we were told that the cache was probably missing. So during our lunch break - a break from caching that is , we stopped by to have a look for ourselves and what do you know? We found it in the second spot we looked [^]. Gotta be lucky sometimes.
Thanks Roostaman.

micheena - noticed hadn't been found for awhile. Sorry no luck, and we used the step ladder provided.

Who needs a ladder? Nice little container..... found with gyspsyroselee on a mornings cruise round Wagga. TFTC

Very difficult to be secretive with this one. Felt a bit naughty but achieved the aim........found the cache thanks to Bingley

Had a BBQ. Lots of campers here. A great place for a stopover.

A few campers around, we thought it would be a good idea to leave this one to do under cover of darkness.
Gotcha!!! After a bit of searching we signed the log.

Commentry on todays events;
"GSAK please tell me the closest cache"
"Well Sir its 20m away, here ill show you on your gps"
"What do you mean there is one here you did't show this before, and oh look it shows on the map we are camping ontop of it!"


Took a moment or two of stealth on this VERY cold morning!!

This one has us stumped for ages and we were sitting on the table feeling very depressed reading logs when a kindly muggle overhead us say that we wish we had a step ladder. He very conveniently and obligingly pulled the perfect step ladder from the back of his truck while we explained to him what we were up to. Nope, still nothing there. Zita read back through logs while enzo went in to further detail about geocaching with our good samaritan. After a little while zita asked if we could use the ladder again and sent enzo up to check one last option - yep, there it was. We have no idea how we would have got this one without the ladder, the terrain rating definitely had us confused. TNLNSL TFTC

First an appology for late logging this was due to the fact of increasing my waymarking activities as had a few to list and was spending the time learning how to list them.

#389 found on time wasting trip to grab four caches this was the first of the four for the day with a cache that was on the gps but has since been archived that would have made it five. This was a great spot have wanted to grab this one on a few other occasions however the muggle factor was to high as people were sitting at GZ and that would have made the task impossible. Especially now I know where it is. The find was an easy on however the GPS had me at another spot at GZ well used the optical devices and soon found it.

Thanks Roostaman for another of you great hides.

# 7 for the day & 19th on our way to Merimbula. Impressed with the cache, what a sneaky hide. Pretty impressive van & motorhomes set ut nearby too. TFTC SL

Our last find for the day...a few caravans at the park but no one was near the GZ...Mr Bushies2 found it easily. Thanks Roostaman.

had some help but got it

Quick find on a quite afternoon! TFTC.

Found with o'cholio
TFTC

The flats are looking more like a swamp these days. Last time we came here (mega event), there was a homeless dude sleeping on GZ. Not so today. TFTC.

Terrific cache! High muggle factor.

A quick grab on a quiet Friday morning. TFTC

Found on the way back home good little cache TFTC

I first attempted this one in march 2010, but campers overran the place. Ever since then, EVERY time i went past, there was someone right at GZ BUT until today! GZ was finally free and I made a quick easy find! YEY! Thanks for the cache!! ^___^

Found this cache at 4:15pm while in Wagga Wagga for a vintage car rally and doing a bit of caching in our spare time.Had an easy time getting this one with no muggles around.
Thanks Roostaman for the hide.
The Bushies.

This would have been a quick find if not for the camping muggles. With a bit of coffee drinking and stop reive survive type actions I was able to make the find without attracting muggle attention (I think). TFTC

Clever hide... Took note of the clues and found it fairly quickly. TFTC

Early morning visit on way to markets,we saw no one - hope no one saw us !!! TFTC x

A couple of muggle campers so unable to make the find

Been waiting for days to sign tthis one because a muggle seems to be living in his car right next to the GZ.
Straight forward find once he left for some shopping. Cache and log are in god order.

A nice quick and easy find. I thought this one was harder than it was, but in the end was pleasantly surprised.

Found this little one on a cold and wet day. took a while to locate. finaly got it signed. thanks for this one.

This one is so cruel to people with short arms! TFTC.

We found this today and was cursing my short legs! Anyway Mrs Nodalot was brave and found the prize.

Found on our Super Wagga weekend with Skullracer1.
'Dad-Skullracer1', came up with the sneaky hide pretty quickly. Don't think Mrs H or the Queen....or the kids would get anywhere near it......
A nice spot. TNLN SL
Thanks for bringing us here.

#475 @ 9.30am. On our Wagga weekend caching extravaganza with team Haveanez. A nice area which we enjoyed a quick stop over at & a great time to do this cache as nobody about this time of the morning. Thankfully Dad had cache in hand pretty quickly but this could potentially take a long time. Dad said the terrain rating should be changed to Mrs H & a half .

Hey we're first on the new log sheet short look in a few wrong sits and then it dawned on us and got it. Tftc

Out with Puk Ed on our Wagga trip...(and yes he got his log date wrong.)

Not too hard this one thanks to a previous log entry. Found quickly so TFTC.

New log sheet in place & good as new again.

Found this one no problems however had to squish our names in as the log is FULL. Getting this cache could have been a little easier if we were tall. SL TNLN TFTC

Quick find no muggles about.
TNLN SL & Took Off

Happy to nail this one quick. Have been getting the nanos quickly today.

SL TFTC

It's SOOOOOOOO tiny

Nice find whilst visiting from SA TFTFSL

Tftc nice area done this one at night lighting was good

Took me to times the second smallest ive seen

A quick find as GZ was deserted apart from a council worker emptying the bins, and he didn't even glance at us when we passed. The lack of cobwebs in a certain spot sort of gave the game away - but hey, you use what ever help you can. Thanks for the cache Roostaman

Rated: for Overall Experience

Nice Cache, Found it whilst at the OZMEGA! TFTC TNLN

Found at 1100. Not quite a Nano that I am used to but a pretty small micro. Have seen this type of container before and own a few myself. Clever Hide. Tried this was late yesterday but there was a resident claiming the table for the night. Did find his empty shopping trolleythis morning and going to claim this as a locationless. TFTC. You have some good hides roostaman.

Finally home from Oz Mega and time to log. A quick find which was just as well as a carload of people arrived for their lunch too. TFTC

No squirrel gliders here today, but a few horses. Decided to have our lunch here after nabbing the cache, beating another family to the best table by a minute. Then, as we were hopping in the car, saw another four people with lanyards dangling, peering around in a suspicious manner. I headed over and scared them a little before offering to assist in the cache's retrieval, then left them signing as we headed for the next one. TFTC! ='.'=

good hide

Found with kwaianna after OZ MEGGA, easy find

did this one on the way home from the mega event... still logging. Had seen people here all weekend but had not had the chance to stop. Finally got to it and located quite quickly but had to wait for few muggles to leave before retrieving. TFTC

Found with my daughter Mooshell. TFTC.

Found on the Oz Mega trip.
Many thanks.

Great hide. Scared the homeless away an interesting charecter. TFTCSL

Found while on the way home from the OZ MEGA EVENT with Geewok. Only problem that we had was to let all the traffic go pass before we could place it back. I think that most of them were Cachers as every second one beeped as they went pass. TFTC SL

Came here the night before with Zak Power Team. Could not do because of Homeless person sleeping here. Found it next day on way home from Oz Mega Event. TFTC. TNLN. SL.

With the Oz Mega challenges complete found whilst wandering the town.

Found on Wagga Wagga Mega caching trip.

found it when attending OZMEGA

Found eventually after much searching, logged ok, and Andrew was just trying to unsuspisciously return the cache when two cars arrived ----- not to worry, they were other cachers from the mega event, so all was well. Thanks for the cache, Andrew and Maryan.

found on our way back to the Oz Mega following a lunch trip back to our caravan. Ian had forgotten his name tag and left me to search for the cache - I thought I had it located and fortunately for me a rather helpful local cacher helped me with retrieving it.

Few muggles today..TFTC
Number 5 of 32 for the day.

Found while at the Mega event

Cheers and thanks for the cache

Visiting for Oz Mega Wagga Wagga from Brisbane and hunting with my regular caching buddy Gunnie69. Thanks for sharing your great city, terrific caches and fabulous hospitality with us. Great to have the opportunity to run in to so many fellow cachers at so many GZs in and around Wagga Wagga!

Like I said before, definitely "in the zone" which I guess contributed to what turned out to be a record number of finds in a day for me (48). Found in just about the first place I looked which I think is a bit of a miracle for such a tiny cache.

Thanks for the cache Roostaman. Cheers, svn07

A nice quick find during the Oz Mega with the Greynomads and Jimmymaff.

Visited Ra's Gecko - SL TFTC

Found with SA_Parrothead and Honeysucker while at Ozmega. TFTC!!

Found during the Oz Mega Wagga Wagga.

Every time we drove past here there was someone looking for this one.

Found this cache while attending the Oz Mega Wagga Wagga Event.

We thought about trying to find this one 2 days ago but then there were a couple of muggles sitting having their lunch right at GZ. Came back today and we had the spot all to ourselves. A quick search and we soon had the cache in our hands.

Thanks for the hunt Roostaman

Cheers,

We grabbed this one while attending the OZ Mega Wagga Wagga. The amount of times that this cache has been and will be found this weekend should make it qualify for a record.
Many thanks to Roostaman for setting up this cache.

Found at the Oz Mega Event with Team_Ninja and TeamGeoplesk.

Another country cache that was great to visit

even found some mud to play in thanks
on an Oz Megga Event With SAParrothead and Someuser

Oh.. "the flats" Now it all makes sense... [^] Had no trouble finding this one but clearly that Murphy guy was looking over my shoulder as it was in the last "flat" I looked in... Handed it to Svn07 for the log extraction and replacement... She likes that kinda thing...

Cheers Roostaman.

Some muggles were having a picnic so we had to go away and come back to get this one.
I spotted it but my caching buddy only dismissed it .... or course a short time later he considered it may be it and it was. [:(!]
Thanks for the cache Roostaman

Just like a picnic in the park. Found in conjunction with another team from the event whose name escapes us at the moment.

Another cacher and I had to explain caching to the German Tourists who were cooking there lunch, but we did find it...

Found during the Mega Event. A great time was had by teaming up with a number of geo friends and meeting others at the cache site. TFTC

Found whilst in Wagga for the Mega Event.

By this stage, it was becoming laughable - the number of cachers obviously following us around - or perhaps we were following them. This one was fairly simple to spot, but harder to get at without arousing suspicion. When we finally got hold of it, the next problem was to replace it, with the same risks.

Thanks for the cache.

2nd attempt, found quite simply now that there wasn't an adjacent camper. Thanks.

Found with Black Bunny while in Wagga for the Mega.
Thanks for the cache.

After a couple of slack days caching wise (but not social wise) Mr Morris joined Feathertop for the morning and boosted the numbers. A great little spot. TFTC

2010-04-05 15:14:35 Just as we found it another vehicle pulls up and said "have you found it?" When asked if they needed to sign the log the answer was no we dont do this thing. They had observed many prople finding it while they collected water from the near by tap.
We discussed the game and I guess we will never know if they ever try it out.
Regards

Would've been nice to find this one - except for the homeless bloke sleeping on the table!

I loved how green the area is and the hwy that trawls along the bridge across it all.
Found with Hoojar, Nighteez and Ding.
Cheers

A surprisingly easy find. Out with Jemmalong & Family, Gribbly and Blue Mars for this one.
TNLNSL, thanks for the cache,

Found by - H - and The Empire
3rd of April, 2010
New to the official world of caching but have been involved since 17th of April 2009 (my first cache find). But have only just gotten a log name. Time to log all the wonderful caches that I have been finding since I have been caching with The Empire. My name in the log book is H.
On our way to Wagga Wagga. I knew it was going to be the best birthday week. Even waking up at 4am and not having a coffee straight away didn't matter. We were on our way to some beautiful caching days.
Second time lucky. The Empire not impressed with people sitting too close to the cache.
TFTC

Well I was glad I was over 1.5 metres tall otherwise I may not have been able to reach, but with 700 cachers in the area I guess I could have waited until someone taller came along. TFTC

Apologies for the late log. Found during the Wagga Mega Event. Our second of a few whilst up here for the weekend. We were not able to grab this one last time we were up this way as it was a very popular spot. No difficulty today though as the only other people around where fellow geocachers! TFTC. Cheers.

I was bobbling my gps and my cell phone as two geocachers walked up to find this same cache. They recognized me as a geocacher for my bright yellow name tag for the Oz Mega event. I explained to them that I was from Texas and I had been struggling to find traditional caches and had a unit that is not able to be calibrated (save the clock). Just before they walked up I realized the clock was wrong on my gps and I was adjusting it. We wandered about and looked high and low, here and there and finally the son of the team spotted something that did not belong. Sure enough THAT was the cache. Yay!! I CAN do this!! Now to verify without another GC team to show me the container

I found this one on the mega weekend with SuperJaz and Bewilderbeest. Lucky we had Bewilderbeest with us, I never would have been able to retrieve it on my own.

Thank you thank you!!!

Thanks for another great cache in Waga during our visit.

Found while we looked around the Wagga Wagga area while attending the mega event.

There was a bit of a line up when we pulled up. This didn't happen that often for the Mega but here is a pic of me and the cache (you can just make it out). Clear skies from TeamAstro. (pic not enough to be a spoiler!!)

Wwe arrived at this one expecting this one to be difficult. Thankfully, the Kettle kid found it even before the rest of the team had a chance to get out ot the car. TFTC

A quick find on our second day of caching during the Mega...no one around so we were lucky!
