Blast Off Long Jetty, New South Wales, Australia
By Shifter Brains on 05-Mar-06. Waypoint GCTQ82

Time to go as access to the rocket has been completely blocked off.

This place is always full of muggles when we come to maintain the cache - even at dusk.

To replace log.

I can't believe I have been coming to this park for years and never knew the secret it held.
Thanks for a great hide.No room on paper to fit a name.Found by the geokids

Omg you little shit...
Didn't take long but so sneaky.
Loves it.

Very difficult find. Paper needs to be replaced. No room for name

Found it! Great hide!

Very clever hide, luck I had some help otherwise I wouldn't have found it!

In scribed.

Hard to find this one!!

tftc!

this has been my favourite park since I was little, and I visit it everytime I see to grandparents, who live just a street away. thanks again!

No. 9 today in search of 12. In the absence of any geokids to climb the rocket, we sent geo-husband (dressed in business attire) up the ladder in search of treasure. From the ground we were able to direct him to the goodies. As payback, he spun us around on the whirly-gig. Thanks Shifter Brains for a bit of fun.

Number 9 of the 12-12-12 extravaganza with close_by. Great fun"inspecting the safety of the play ground"as a decoy... Or so 1 cacher believed was a decoy. Really we just looked like we were stopping for a quick play... Tftc!

Tiny cache, you look a little funny up in the rocket as an adult, you just have to pretend your a kid again!

Awesome fun for the kids to get up and grab. They couldn't believe it had been there so long and the amount of times they've come to this park and never known. thanks shifter brains!

Had to give this one a miss as there were too many kiddie muggles enjoying the playground!

My second visit to this cache. On this ocassion there were no muggles of any size to be sighted.
Consequently I was able to eliminate those areas previously searched unsucessfully. This time the cache was in hand quickly as I played like a kid.
TFTC Shifter Brains, a great hide.

Found on a day out with Liz and Bruce. As they had already found this one they let me do the retrieval all on my own!

[D:] So many caches require a tall person but this one required the opposite providing a suitable 'space suit' is worn - TFTC

tftc sl quick find thanks cache in good order

Quick find and our first caching adventure in quiet a while. Tftc

We came down this morning to do the Chittaway Bay series by ALL7. Picked this one up as well. Found the playground deserted so Mr C made his way to where we thought the cache would be, even though he hadn't brought his space suit. After a few minutes it was found but it was in a highly visible place about 300mm from where we thought it should be. Signed log and took the quick way back to earth. Thanks Shifter Brains.
This one looks like a small version of 'Mega Fun' GC3MWDR at Speers Point.

TFTC SL. Sent the kids up.

Not sure where this got knocked off from. Replaced as per hint

TFTC!

Hard to find at 9pm! But with some thought I managed to grab it. Awesome cache!

Log replaced - and cache returned to correct place.

Found it in the first place I looked. I'm sure all the children and their parents thought I was some type of lunatic, lol. TFTC

Stayed on the ground while Symone007 did the hard work. Zeke enjoyed the descent.

Great spot. 2nd attempt at this. had previously found it but didn't realize that it is what I had. Log nearly full.

Annoying that someone has decided that the rocket ship in its full glory is too dangerous. When I spotted it I was reminded of when I was a kid - told my GeoKid that it'll be awesome to climb to the top - but the top half has been welded closed.

One side of the log is now full.

Great stop for geogirl. As she played on equipment we noticed some suspicious activity around the rocket. We eyeballed the find at about the same time as our co-seekers & enjoyed the chat as the log was completed.

This hasn't been logged for well over a month yet here were two geocaching teams making the find at the exact same time! Sent the 7yo up to make the grab after spying the goods from the ground. Log was signed by both parties and the cache sent back to its location. Thanks.

Tricky hide, no little muggles yet plenty of drive by muggles

Nice Cache, Bit Embassying crawling up a rocketship at my Age, TFTC

A couple of times in the past this one was disabled when we were in the area. However today we travelled past this park again and could not resist the urge to give it a go. Upon reaching GZ there were some 20 mini-muggles and 10 full-sized muggles crawling all over and sitting nearby the rocket. The revisiting Mr CDM261 stayed below to watch the attempt. Just as we made the final approach for the space vehicle all the mini-muggles left to play in other parts of the launch zone. Seizing the opportunity Daz climbed aboard and managed to find the hide within seconds. However the mini-muggles returned just as quickly as they had left seeing Daz stuck attempting the replace and log as they enjoyed one final 'slide'. Fortunately the coast was soon clear again and the cache was replaced with ease before managing the escape the facility without being sprung. Mission accomplised! TFTC.

Found by Geoson whilst parents looked on
What a great place it is here

Times like this would be good to have the kids with you.

Mission complete. The rain has kept everyone away today so no muggles in sight. SL TFTC

Whilst I found this one a couple years ago, I thought I'd give the geoboy a crack. He found it after some hints. Hope we didn't spoil the surprise from a fellow cacher who was patiently waiting for the muggles to disappear. Didn't even occur to me that it was being stalked. Will be more careful in the future

Finally found it after 2 days for trying to find it.

Damn muggles just won't go home will they. Didn't find this yesterday, it wasn't here, hmmm
Bring a match for this one if you have big fingers.

I think its gone

nice and quite found it fast

Mission Complete!! Easily found cache. Also love the slide.

Missing I think

Looked hard around rocket man and surrounding area .

A mother with two children looked a little surprised, but not alarmed, when a grown up man 'attacked' the structure in question, probably because a grown up woman was standing beside looking on.
First to sign the new log.

Log replaced - ready to go again.

This cache is currently disabled so do not look for it.
Any further found logs WILL be deleted.

Disabled means the cache needs repairs and is not ready for visitors.

Wether the hint is wrong or the cache is gone.
Searched with all senitivity on the red tips but collected only spyder webs (

Hadn't realised the cache was disabled. Was a quick find and squished my name in the log TFTC

To replace log.

Been trying to get to this one ever since we received the re:enable listing notice, but it has ended up being a month since that happened. Finally made it today and the log is filling up again, looks like we made it in just the nick of time. the place was deserted in the early morning so the find was quick with no junior muggles to deal with. After signing the log and returning the cache we were able to make a hasty exit via the escape chute, good fun & thanks Shifter.

Nice easy find!!!

Been waiting for a quiet day during school holidays to get this one. Log is full. Needs maintenance

NickoHeap hates heights, even mild heights like this, but he got the job done. Thanks

When you're in a playground, it really is good to have the kids as camo- even better when they can do the cache retrieval and not be obvious at all. A quick one found by our resident bloodhound, NickoHeap while visiting friends up the central coast for the day. I remember playing on these when I was a kid, far too many years ago to remember. Thanks.

Found with the family while up the coast visiting friends for the day.

I retrieved this one for the family. Quick and easy, even with other kids around.

Zoe,youngest member of team Jazzygeo's found this one for us!! Thanks Zoe!
thanks and take care

team Art Journey from the Netherlands

Geokid found it! Great hide

Found with geo-kids. A fun hide and nice playground too.

Good find thanks! Got one of the smaller members to go searching

Quick find while the kiddies played.


TFTF

Finnally found it with my lil sis bri-bri.tftc

TFTC

It was fun pretending to be a kid again. A clever hide. TFTC

Great to see a cache in this memorable location. Thanx for the cache Shifter Brains

Very nice. had lots of helpful hints from alturners but was looking on the wrong fin. muggle kiddies looked like they were coming to the rocket so he quickly showed me where it was. 'i looked there' i procrastinated to him. signed the log as muggle kiddies played on the rocket, but they had luckily gone to another part of the playground by the time we went back. how dare someone block people from ging up any futher in the rocket. its absolutely shocking how much OHS has spread it tenticles through the world. TFTC!!!

YES!!!!! Found it when muggles gone..
Good one..
Wish could blast off to the sky!
Move on to next cache with ALL7..
Enjoy caching around Central Coast
Thanks for bring me here and the cache

Whitepaws9 and i looked looked for 15 mins then finally found by whitepaws9...YAY!!!!! Good well.. thank

Ready to be found again.

Log replaced, and cache returned to correct location.

We have tried to replace the log a few times in the last month and every time the place was occupied with junior muggles.
We will keep trying.

Couldn't find this one.

Til we replace the log.

TNLN log full

TFTC Nice area for geokids

Nice quick easy find. TFTC but log is full

Found it after taking a friend out dinner for they birthday

Needs a new log

Found at 2250 hrs and was an interesting find.Tftc.

Just to add this was our 100 find.

Awesome!!

TFTC!

Nice minuscule cache, and it wasn't suspicious for me as I wasn't too much bigger than the mini muggles playing in the area.

Passing through and thought we would look for this one,,, wrong time of day... playground full of mini muggles so no opportunity to look without raising attention.. maybe next time

Pulled up and decided it was not a good idea as the park was packed with small muggles and their parents. Came back at dark to an empty park but didn't come up with the cache. We looked everywhere but nothing

No body about late at night but it still took a bit of work to look in the right spot for the cache but got there eventually. Not enough room on the slide for me to get down the quick way either.

Thanks.

Despite the awful weather the play equipment was still busy so we headed off without an attempt.

Geokids loved the playground aspect of this one!! Geohubby found this one TFTF.

We tried for this one at lunch time today - very big mistake as there were a few birthday parties near GZ. So we decided to come back tonight at 8.30. Good move as we had the park to ourselves. We blasted off for a quick find, both amazed that this cache hasn't been muggled. After signing the log and replacing the cache we became children again - sliding down the slide, spinning in the tea cup until we felt sick then a few minutes going up and down on the seesaw. Now that seesaw is highly recommended for adults, I swear it has been made for our fully grown bums rather than that of children. Thank you for bringing us here to relive our childhood, even if it was only for twenty minutes!

Muggles in space suits. I strolled around the structure and looked up. How disappointed do you think Astro was, esp when a podium logbook find was at stake. Words can't express..... A frownie here was unacceptable. I will return.

Found this one at 4:40pm, our last find for the day. Our son was more than happy to play in the park while we enjoyed a picnic afternoon tea - and admiring the cache!

Log replaced

Log full and wet. TFTC

Log is full and wet

Yah! Great fun for all. Log full
