no where to move this cache to that's not within the exclusion zone of other caches
so am archiving it.team Denmar

cache location is having work done by council so will move to new location at park

This had me a bit confused as I headed to the published coords to find myself in the oval though near some structures. But checking previous logs and the notes I realised I was looking for a bus shelter, so instead of searching 20 metres or so away from the original coords that don't match the hint I went across the oval. However a good search of the structure and area came up blank.

This one is a problem if it is still there as it is only about 80 metres away from another cache that has been placed much more recently, but would only have been approved if this one's coordinates hadn't been so far out. Thanks TEAM DENMAR.

Found it with the help of previous logs, it is not where the coords tell you to go! TFTC

I've been to this one a few times and never managed to find it. I now know why. the co-ordinates are off by a few hundred metres. One of our friends who lives in the area pointed us to the nearest (hint) and it was found very quickly. Due to the co-ordinates being out the map is out, so if you look at the map and end up on the western side of the oval, have a look at the hint and travel east about 200 metres.

all in order

THIS ONE OUT OF SIGHT?

Found with Grub Fred today, the only reason we found it was by using the hint. Try these coords S 35 46.549 E 148 00.557. TFTH

Following the co -ords ended on other side of oval. However with the hint - buses we found it.
Compass was showing 1.9 km away from cache.

Looked for ages with a few friends kids. The hint about the bus only added to our confusion as the co-ordinates sent us along the fence and a few metres into the field. We'll have another look next time we are in Tumba.

Couldn't find. Clue adds a little confusion. Made us think it maybe located in a another location to where the gps was leading us.

Our co-ords took us to the middle of the field. Just as well there was a hint lol

Unable to locate may have been removed. With geojames4

Only one spot it could be - and it is not there -- together with snockley

Looked for a while but did not find.

GPS sent me over to the the other side of the oval away from the skate park. Very confused with description versus location.

GPS sent us 100 meters away from where the description indicated that we should be. Ended up over the other side of the oval, thought we should have been nearer to the creek. Gave up

well guess what' cache is still in it's location went to replace it this morning only to find it still there.

moved to new location but still being muggled.will replace one more time
as soon as possible.our next trip up that way. regards Team Denmar.

dnf from us.

still there?

Visiting friends in Tumba and decided to enjoy a walk. Hunted high and low but no sign of this one. tried both old and new co-rds, but no luck today. ? Perhaps its been muggled? there were a lot of people at the grounds yesterday and a few new structures and building work. Will check back on our next trip through.

Nice spot TFTC

3494th total find at 17:05

12th cache in a run to:
a.) reach 3500 cache finds
b:) drop off our last screwdriver

A nice quick find after scoffing a scrumptious pie and cake from the nearby bakery.

Took: Nothing
Left: Nothing
Thanks TEAM DENMAR for the cache

A quick find on a lunch stop on Tumba. A beautiful park that was completely deserted on a wonderful Sunday afternoon. TFTC

No chance of finding this one during Tumbafest (muggles everywhere) so I waited for the dust to settle and attempted this one early on the Monday ie after the event - which was great. So, while I was dumping the caravan toilet cassette at the official "dump point" nearby, geo-wife decided to start this one on her own. By the time I had completed this unpleasant task and found her in the park, she had the cache in hand. I have trained her well so I claim the find. Cheers and thanks.

We had a motocycle tour on a sunny day and found this cache.Thanks for showing that place...
Schredder

Alittle busy today but had the area for ourselves where the cache was. Dont get the sitting part of the clue. But found the cache TFTC

Quick find after lunch with friends across the road. Nice park. Many muggles, but far enough away. TFTC

Busy here today but luckily we had the place where the cache was hidden to ourselves making it an easy find. This one also turned out to be our 3700th milestone cache.
Thanks,
The Hancock Clan

Got it

Good spot

Out early on a Sunday morning meant the area was muggle free. T4TC

#113 is in the park i mean in the bag. This was a cache in a park that was very quiet today with only a few people around mad the find quick and easy the retrieval was a little harder as just before i went to get the cache i had to wait for them to look away. Grabbed the cache and sat at the table to sign the log.

Signed the log and returned the cache to it hide and was off and on to the next.

Thanks TEAM DENMAR for another easy find.

We could not search for this cache on the first try as a wedding was taking place. After an afternoon of chassing caches we came back to find this one. Skate park was under water from the recent rain. TFTC

Spooted this one from 30 metres away.
SL & placed cache further in hidey spot.

Nice easy find great playground for the geokids to have a run

Had a quick look but were unable to come up with the goods.

replaced cache again but moved it's location to
S35 46.546 E148.00.472having the UMP review the new co-ords

Wasn't an overly successful day for us today geocaching. This was the first of the day and couldn't find it. There were a few muggles around but we turned the search into a game with kids so it wasn't overly obvious we were looking for something. Spent about 20 minutes searching with no success though.

Now this was quite a challenge to go undetected during Tumberfest with muggles all around but a couple of descrete moves well spaced produced the goods. SLTFTC.

The town is getting ready for a big weekend.

#1008 @ 6.30pm. A lovely area which we all appreciated for more reasons than one . A few muggles but we were able to retrieve and replaced unnoticed. The water was flowing pretty swiftly here today & looks very inviting! TNLNSL TFTC Team Denmar - our 2nd last cache of yours today

Found this cache on our New Years Day away, it was a little ripper as well.
Many Thanks to Team DENMAR for the Cache.
TNLNSL

Found this cache at 2pm. while visiting Tumberumba while we are staying at Talbingo for a few days. We came across Via The Elliotts Way which was very spectacularand exciting. What a lovely park with lots of thing to do for young and older.
We awere very surprised to find the cache in such good condition as there has been evidence of the creek waters to have been flowing above GZ level. Alls Good.
Thanks Team Denmar for the hide and the ones we have done while on our stay in the Mountain area. Had a great time.
Let Bushies D bolt pay a visit.
The Bushies.

Our last find for the day as it was getting late & the storm had just rolled in. Had to wait for one muggle before attemping to grab the cache.
Looks like the flood waters had hit this little area pretty hard, but the cache was safely tucked away.
TNLN SL and headed for home.
Thanks for showing us so many top spots today Team Denmar.

It was a bit drizzly today, but nice and cool and no one around during the search. Nice spot we have been to before .Thanks to TEAM DENMAR for the Tumba' cache .

TFTC, found second time past, with hinco, fred6603, roostaman and boyracer

tftc had a grreat time here watching children float down the stream with rubber tubes,

We stopped here on our Wagga caching Bikers and support crew day trip to the hills. I had found it before & the others had trouble today with all the muggles around & the recent high water mark. BoyRacer had to get dirty & we told a 'funny' story to a muggle while he went to 'wash it off''.

Later I contacted the owner & suggested we could replace it for them & they happily agreed. I had some spare containers, but Hinco had a better one, so we fixed it up on a return visit & it should be good again for a while now.
Roostaman.

Found with Hincko, Hinklenator, Roostaman & Fred6603. Well REPLACED with Hincko, Hinklenator, Roostaman & Fred6603.

Look out, Look Out there was Muggles about!

Amazing day for a bike ride.

Cheers!

Cache number 12 for our motorbike assault day with Boyracer, Roostaman, Hinco and Hinklenator. This one was MIA but was replaced by Roostaman after he raided Hinco's cache maintenance kit. A female muggle must think that we are really strange as when she asked us what we had lost I replied "our sanity". She then wanted to know what we really had lost. Rostaman then totally confused her. Contact Roostaman if you want to know how to really confuse a muggle. Thanks TEAM DENMAR.

Unable to find today, maybe next time

Didn't find it but a lot of muggles out and about.

A quick look while I had lunch, in town on business.

The muggles might not have been paying attention, but the ducks were!
Lovely park, thanks for the cache!

2334 - Found during a run down to the Batlow region...

While there were a few muggles around today they were not paying any attention to us as we had a look and made the find.

A quick return and we were on our way !

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers....

We were staying in town for the weekend ads a base for our assault on the Alpine Way. After driving 400km of winding roads it was a quick stop after dinner on teh way back to our B&B. We certainly had no issues finding this one.

Cheers

We snuck away from friends to locate this little sucker. A peaceful place to visit at night.
Cheers.

We weren't as lucky at the DicksonTwo, as no-one came to help us, rather a couple of muggles were watching us intently from the skate park, so we had to give up.

Well, there we were, searching discretely but diligently, when this youngster came up and asked whether we had found it yet. And had we found the one in the other park near the library? Rumbled! He was a young member of team Blakey 1, while Snr was looking on from a bench and giving 'that' smile. So, OK, we were helped and we were very grateful, 'cos one has to be a bit supple! TNLNSL Thank you for taking us to this park for a stroll before lunch.

Beautiful area.
I used to play in this area long before the skate park was made.

This was the first one that we found on this hunt, the new geokiddies had lots of fun though and even spotted a fresh water crayfish making it's way along from GZ.

TFTC.

Found with tofka,ADV,Redinguana and Moneydork.TFTC.

Found with the team of Moneydork, Rediguana, Tofska, and Pohutukawa as we made our way to Wagga Wagga for the Mega event.
Enjoyed the visit to this one.
TFTC

Wow the sunlight was lovely on this stream in the late afternoon. It even made the flies and insects look pretty! Cheers Gav [5236]

Very pleasant surroundings - a well looked after brook. T4TC, M@

One of many cache finds on our trip to the Wagga Wagga MEGA Event.

Tried to get this one but no luck in the end. Hopefully its our eyes that were at fault and the cache is still safe and sound.

Found OK-I've come across a few similar locations to this one-mind the spiders though.

TFTC

checked on cache replaced with new magnetic key holder in same location.
if this one go's, then may have to archive cache.Re Team Denmar

No luck with this one today. I searched all the spots accessible by wheelchair as the terrain rating suggests, then got a little more adventurous, after all I couldn't get much dirtier. I even sent the kids in to search the bits I couldn't reach thanks to my size, but they also came up empty handed. They did like the skate park though, except for finding a puddle and getting soaked.

The Venturer Scouts took longer to find this one. Ha!

Didn't find this one, looked a few times but...

It was lightly raining when we arrived at GZ and the area was quite wet already from earlier rains.
We spent quite a bit of time searching but if what I think was required to nab the cache is right we just simply were'nt getting knees and hands that grubby today. The kids were worried about spiders so we left to find others Nice park though!

Found by Mary & David at 1140. Good to see some water flowing. Do any staff actually work in IGA over the road, or do they just smoke outside all day? Interesting Honour Roll nearby. Now to check out the pies at the bakery. Our thanks to TEAM DENMAR once more.

Combined the Womens Pioneer museum and Geocaching during a trip to Tumbarumba. This was the third found in the rain and hail so only had dirty Knees and hands. Signed log and managed to squeeze it back in its box. TFTC

Found on trip home after a great weekend camping including a surprise easter hunt by campsite owners... hmmm choclate...

We saw the local grandady crayfish trawling up the creek.. found GZ quickly and on we went.

A nice park to visit and great to see some water flowing under the bridge. Had to keep an eye on some muggles who just turned up to have a picnic lunch.

TFTC Bushtraker

#393 - a fairly quick find, although had to keep a watch of nearby muggles including staff at the IGA out having a smoke. TFTC

Found another one in this great little town

Staying in Tumbarumba to visit my 95 yr old mother, nice to finally find this cache, had to wait for a bunch of muggles! TFTC!!

Last time we came to find this one, we went home empty handed.
We thought we knew where it should have been but it wasnt there. Today we walked up to where we thought and it was magically there. Great little park. TFTC

Thought we would tackle this one after a wedding nearby. Problem was the wedding party were having photos at GZ! So we came back after the post wedding bbq to nab this one before heading out of town. TFTC!

Quiet day due to cold weather, but great for geocaching. No mugglers around due to weather. Found cache and went for a coffee in town.

We all loved the sound of this town's name . We had a very quick stop in the rain and grabbed this micro at 12:35. Thanks to TEAM DENMAR.

Nice town.
SL 30/8/08 1700hrs

Found at 1215. After a recent DNF on this one, came by on the way back home to Wodonga. A nice easy cache find in a great little park full of history.

TFTC.

took trip tp Tumba to check on this cache after a number of DNF"s.placed new cache in same location.I think footbridge has been painted since the last time we were there,that would explain cache's walkabout.Regards Team Denmar.

Visiting for Grub Fred and Wagga Wagga's mum's 95 birthday! We and about ten others looked for this cache for some time with no luck. From the previous log it looks like it it definitely missing. Had a great time here this was my forth trip to Australia and second visit to this town and hope to return next trip to Australia. This cache needs a look. TFTH

DNF! Having DJ with me, the last finder, confirmed that it is no longer where he placed it. Nice park though.

I almost tried for this one over 12 months ago, but not liking micros too much I decided to leave it another time as the area was quite occupied.

Tonight we stopped here for dinner at the BBQ facilities (I don`t remember them being here last time) whilst it was still light enough before heading onward in search of a camping area for the night.
Was grateful to see no one else was using the park tonight which made for an uninterupted search, but really only needed 5 minutes to find, log and place the cache back. Turned out to be easier than expected.

SL @ 2025. Cheers.
