A quick find at 1350hrs. The log is wet and the contents need throwing out. There appears to be a number of entries from muggles also.

In the area and killing time, SixStars remembered trying to grab this one but at the time he didn't have a extra pair of legs. Add one junior seeker and the cache was in hand. A soccer team was celebrating nearby with a bonfire, but we didn't disturb each other. TNLN
Didn't have any problems to locate this one. Took keyring and left a plastic zebra.
Quick find, local youths practicing soocer at the goal posts but I was able to sign off the log without being noticed. TNLNSL .TFTC.
9 year old Woyboy picked this immediately and did want the leg up! That was fun! Thanks for the cache. Woyboys. Took a hephalump and left a great big tombowler
A Realy wet day and the carpark was under water

Piggy Backs all round for this one and then a quick dash back to the car while the kids took the long way round to stir up the pied ibis and cockatoos on the underwater reserve, Thanks for the cache.
Found at 1530, GPS took us straight to it. Geo-brother had to assist me in retrieving cache.
Found on a rainy day. The oval was quite soggy.
Good hiding spot. You do need a boost.

great spot.. few people mowing lawn and one guy running but not many people around. good find
The GPS lead us to the general area of GZ however we didn't have the best coverage as it was not the best of days so we had to rely on the additional hint which was very helpful. A good hide and only a few council workers to worry about. TNLN, TFTC.

The Geogirl loved this one as she could get to it before Dad, although I had to help out just a little. Nice spot for a Cache. I can recommend going on a Sunday afternoon when the local model car club is racing there radio control beasts on the basketball courts nearby. They are amazing to watch and the Steak sandwich with onion is the best I've ever had, a highly commendable Cache and the Steak sandwich is a must do

Found the spot pretty easily without really needing anything more than the description. One problem - the cache was being well guarded by what appeared to be a small snake!
Took nothing, left snake

Went in from wrong side.....doh!Eventually honed in and the curtdog ended up bruising the old back!Thanks for this location!
Found today by Mr Emu @ 6.10 p.m., GAFF3 http://wiki.geocaching.com.au/wiki/GAFF . A few people exercising their canine companions meant that my camera had to be employed for some "artistic interpretations" of the GZ. Some unique angles were being obtained by the time I reached the cache! Nonetheless, a successful retrieval from an interesting hiding place. Thanks for the cache Grank.

Took the kayak for a explore up Narara Creek, The GPS showed a cache 17 m away and there was a nice connivent sandy bank was available to land. I didn't have anyone to leg up, so I had to rely on my advanced climbing shoes (wet and slippery thongs) In the end it wasn't too hard. Thanks for the cache and a chance to rest. TNLN
Could have done with assistance. The rain made the immediate surrounds to the cache quite slippery and more challenging than it would otherwise have been. In any case the cache was soon retrieved safely and returned to its resting place.
dropped a few coins in the cache.

As we walked across the sodden playing field we spotted the hiding spot so the cache was soon in hand. As we made our way back we found $4 in the grass, add that to the Bolle sunglasses we found earlier we are actually finding some good stuff.
Congratulations for being my/our 1st Cache!!! Took the little guy on what I called a 'treasure hunt'. Great spot, he actually pointed out the final destination inadvertantly. He loved the idea of taking some 'treasure', but took some convincing to leave somthing. We took the bouncy ball and left some '70's Muscle'. Thanks from team Barfoot!

Hmmm, TomTom lied to us about what side of the creek this was one, so we had to adjust our game plan, or swim. After re positioning ourselves, it was an easy find in the dark. No swaps tonight thanks.
Cheers

Fairly quick find. Loved the hiding spot. Grabbed horse shoe TB
Rated: for Overall Experience
I was by myself but decided to have a bash at this one anyway. Getting up wasn't too hard but getting back down was a different matter.
TNLN - Dropped off Horsing Around TB
Thanks for the cache Grank.

perfect location for a monkey-boy.
found without gloves, or assistance from disgruntled partners
stood proud atop GZ and signed the log, only to watch a man and his dog walk bye, i dont think he noticed me ( did he?)I think the gorilla costume provided sufficient comflage!
left a lanyard, took nothing.
another local cache off my list.

Easy find we found GZ before the GPS had logged on, it was nice and obvious. It was easy lifting for Mr S'Downer or thats what he reckons. Thanks TNLN
The location to this one was quite easy to find, however, navigating the leg up part had my arm not being long enough to quite reach the cache. I asked cphoenix to let me down only to have me stupidly doing a Sylvestor Stalone cliff hanger trick and impaling my hands.
Cphoenix then came to the rescue and had to get the cache solo.
ahhhhh....
cphoenix you're my hero ....... (batting eyelids towards her super hero.)
Thanks Grank,
Took - Gecko,
Left - Mamma Bandit bear (yellow)

Started looking for this one on the wrong side of the creek which was a theme to be repeated later in the day.
This cache location stands out from abobut 20m away which made this a quick find.
I was used as the "leg up" but after the bandit suffered injury (thanks for that Aloe Vera Paige) I had to tackle this one solo.
I spread the Phoenix wings and levitated to the cache.
Maybe someone should leave some band aids at this cache as there is a real probability of hand injury.
Had a full on grand prix going on at the track which made an interesting diversion.
Took money key ring
Left annoying rattling ball game so that I can move silently for a change!

4-2. The day is getting better!

The area was allegedly closed due to the weather. This did not stop about 50 muggles walking dogs, people kicking balls and, nearby, a petrol driven model car being driven(?) around.
The first 45 minutes free at home I've had for quite some time meant a quick cache was needed. Found the area, found some assistance (definitely required for a solo run) and found the cache.
Good to get out again even if it is for only a few minutes. TNLN. Thanks Grank

Good cache location - I've been here to walk my dogs in the past. Located the final location and got a "Leg Up" from Squall'n to get to the container.

Saw this cache pop up and thought it would be good to do as I pass it on the way home from work (although it was wet and dark) Found GZ and poked around waking up 3 huntsman spiders. So without a "leg up" I figured out where the best approach was. Finally after several attempts I climbed into the spider zone and carefully located the cache, only to find I had been beaten to it. Fancy leaving you're children home alone to grab a cache, I should tell A Current Affair Shifters .
TNLN Great cache Grank.

Saw this one appear late evening and decided to go after it as it was so close to home. Had a neighbour watch the geokiddie, who was asleep, and headed out about 10pm.
Had the cache in our hands about 15 minutes later, after a bit of a boost to the hiding place.
Took necklace (for geokiddie) and left some hair wax.
Another nice one from Grank. We will be back in the daylight with the geokiddie.
