Loaded Raymond Terrace, New South Wales, Australia
By BodySteppingFreak on 26-Dec-06. Waypoint GCZZWK

Just wanted to add my commiserations....

That cache of yours was something to behold...

I just cant believe some low life stole it...

Hopefully you can place another in the park in the future..

Poor old Raymond Terrace is lacking the caches...

Maintenance check this morning shows this one's been rolled.

Found obvious cache position with container depression, GC sheet and a few swaps were strewn around. No log book in the vicinity surrounding location - definitely muggled.

Heading south decided to make a brief detour for this one. Quick find after a walk across a somewhat soggy oval. Ledt a Geocaching Australia sticker. Thanks BodySteppingFreak.

Found at 13:50 after having lunch. Nice easy find.

Found on a sunny Saturday morning @ 0950. Easy find, thanks.

Headed home vie Heatherbrae Pies, saw a cache just off the route and decided one more was needed.
Easily found in the dark. TFTC

Just when you think you have finished cahing and are heading home.... another one pops up to teease you.
We were heading home from a cache assault on Port stephens area, and had decided a Heatherbraes Pie or two would go down well. ( as one of the team had freebie vouchers we had to divert )
but the cache was closer than our hunger would let us go.
so we idid the cache first then pies second.
great location, thought at &:00pm on a rainy night we didnt see much of the area.

Pies at heatherbraes were excelent,and worht stopping at if you are in area.

Nice easy find on our way home from another Soccer Sunday. A couple of playful muggles in the oval below so needed to sign and replace quickly. Thanks for an enjoyable find. Nice container but didn't have time to replace the torn log bag. Can the next finder bring a new bag along with them.

Found this one on a shopping trip with my sister-in-law and the geonephew. This is a great cache to do with a toddler. Unfortunately he doesn't understand the idea of swaps. He took two cars and I only had a card of scrap book stickers to place. When we tried to take one of the cars off him he cried and said no mine no mummy no is mine. At lesast he didn't grab the gps like last time and refuse to give it back. Next time I'll make sure I give him a swap for each hand.

I was on my way to a farewell lunch for some work colleges and I thought I would stop by before attending. It was a easy and enjoyable find. Like everyone else has said "Great Container, Large and well Decorated" I was very impressed. I TN but left a small car for future kids.
I also took the Australian Geocaching coin for a drop off to Nelsons Bay. Thought we might drop it off to Dutchies Dolphins Cache on the weekend.

Thanks again for a great cache. Well Done.

After Geo dog Bella attended her first show at Medowie where she exceed our expectations this was the first of 6 caches for the arvo. We sadly left The Native Oz 2007 Geo coin. & picked up an egyptian toy, Great decorated cache. TFTC

Mozzies, mozzies, mozzies!

Well decorated cache, not too much of a problem to find and not too much of a walk depending on where you park.

Found @ 10.09. This was our first cache on our visit to NSW. As we approached GZ we noticed a council worker spraying weeds around the trees and thought that this was going to be a DNF but fortunatly the cache was in a different area so we had no problems retrieving it un noticed. Not too many mozzies either. Loved the container and art work.

Thanks BodySteppingFreak, a great way to start our day

Had read all the logs about the mozzies but on a cool day with a misty drizzle I knew I would be safe.
Found the great looking cache container and while filling out the log looked down to see about a dozen bloodsuckers had ambushed me.
Did the duties then ran back to the car flappin' and slappin'.
great cache, Thanks

Rated: for Overall Experience

Found by Team Ladava in transit from Queensland home to Melbourne.
Yep, I can confirm the mozzies will eat you alive or carry you away but a great container.
Took nothing
Left Egyptian soldier mondo and TB
Thanks for the cache BodySteppingFreak

Easy find. Took the Swiss geoCoin. Nice find.

Talk about Mozzies. What is it about this Cache? We went there at about 14:00 on a sunny day and I thought we would OK. There was no sign of them until we grabbed the Cache and then it was on. By the time I finished the business I must have had 30 of them on my legs. It’s worth while doing this one just to experience the Mozzies, must be hell at dusk.

Took: Boof TB
Left: Garden Gnome

Found this one easily enough, but almost eaten alive by the mossies. I was certainly glad I had two other folks there for the little beasts to feast on. I had a Swiss friend with me, so I dropped off a Swiss TB.

Nice park for a break but got eaten alive by the mozzies.
The mozzies are very cunning they hide in ambush and at first you think what’s with all the reports of mozzies around here? Then as soon you start filling in the logbook they pounce and soon you are covered in a buzzing dark cloud. Once the caching duties are completed you run back to the car waving and squatting like a lunatic trying to get rid of the blood suckers.

Found easily but eaten by mozzies.

L TB

Lots of mosquitoes and cans of beer. Love the stars on container! Picked up 2 travel Bugs.
Great Cache

Great alternative to the MacDonalds down the road where we normally break our trips north! Easy find. Took mag and mini snake - left pencil and doll. Thanks!

Found with Laura and Greame who found his third for the day on his first time out. We have a new competitor people!!

Dropped in a couple of TBs from NZ this morning. Cache looking good despite the suspicious looking locals!

Took two of us to get the lid off. Was on there pretty well, but we got it. The neighbour hood seemed pretty 'iffy' though. Especially when a teenage youth walked passed trying to conceal an iron bar up the back of his sleeve.

Last cache for the day before heading back to my sisters house, quick easy find and loved the cache design

TFTC

Have never been to this park and was impressed, thanks for bringing us here. Was a nice easy find. We received the liquid paper, the archaeology mag and the Ball of Colour TB and replaced a gold money clip, 2 snakes and a knucklebone. Cheers.

Found this on my way back to Canberra from Brisbane

Took a detour on our way north for the holidays
Grabbed Alien Autopsy TB
TFTC

great spot to stop for a driver reviver . chocolate and coffee , that will keep me awake on the way up the coast.

dropped off tbs

cheers BodySteppingFreak

11.15am
Second of eight for the long weekend. Took the Krusty TB and frog, left a public toilet bookmark and measuring cups. Very coolly decorated container! Saw a rather skinny blue tongue lizard ... the first of many reptiles for the weekend. Spice found the excitement here too overwhelming and had to dash away quickly in search of some "conveniences".
** originally logged as Fairy Spice **

Cache now has a pen...and a TB from Orange.

Its been a long time since I've been into Raymond Terrace, we use to have family here so I knew where to go.
Found the cache quickly but had to retreat to the car as there is NO pen in the this cache and sorry I didnt have a spare one to leave.
TNLn Thanks

This cache took me a while to find i had never been into this park before and did not know the area, i parked the car and walked 700m and only when i got closer i seen that you could almost drive to it.
I always do things the hard way.

Thanks for the cache and walk nice little spot.

Took nothing and left nothing.

Great Cache....a few muggles around so had had to look inconspicuous by taking photos of the kids.
Kids took Magnets and left Batman.
TFTCSL

Zom and kids.

The ground was pretty soggy after the recent rain. Found the cache easily. TNLN

Third for the day. No Muggles. Love the art work and the container. Took the TB and will try and get it to Sydney next weekend. Left pre-decimal coin and signed logbook.

A bit soggy on the way to GZ, not surprising I suppose. Easy find, a bit of a break from a plain old container! TNLN

A check to see if still OK after the floods, and to drop in a TB. All looks good.

Got a bit turned off given the number of needles and associated bits and pieces nearby but we got to the well decorated cache in the end. Pretty wet today so not too many muggles around. TNLN.

Great Park.First time in this park.Found cache easily at 1.28pm.Couple of muggles riding motor bikes in the area
TNLN.Thanks for the cache to find.

The best looking cache I have ever found. Thanks to all the little cookies it was an easy find.

Took stuffed toys and ball. Left magnets, smokey bear sharpner and smokey bear book marks.

1315, With Dukes' GPSr telling which street to turn into, it made it a bit easier, as I had forgotten my topo map for the area. Hopefully this cache stay unmolested for a long time, but there seems to be a fair amount of traffic around it. Replaced a pen that did not work. thnx

#7 for today. I have never been into this part of Raymon Terrace before. Now the actual cache I've been trying to work out if you bought the cache or if you did up yourself. No muggles except we thoguht we saw somebody at the top of the hill looking down at us.
Took Water bomb ball left ruler and stickers.

Well it was dark, but quite a lot of light.

Another adventure in LED lighting. A large spider had taken up a sentry position, but I found another way to get at the cache.

Took: toy car. Left: yoyo.

I love the artwork on this cache. The owner has clearly gone to a lot of trouble.

This was yet another night cache for us (we seem to be doing lots lately) so we couldn't see much. I would have loved to have seen this park during the day. I couldn't tell in the dark, what the higher ground used to be, before it became a park.

There were stars on the cache and stars in the sky. Having always lived in cities, I'm not used to looking up and actually seeing constellations.

Took nothing, left nothing, thank you for the cache!

I am logging this old find under my new username

Took a few laps of the trees to find it but got there in the end. Great to see a larger sized cache.

Took: Penguin, Left: Spinning toy

Thanks for the cache BSF

Found at 3.45pm GAFF1. We don't usually stop around this area on our way to Port Macquarie as we feel that we are nearly there. So thanks for the diversion BodySteppingFreak Took: Whoopee cushion, Left: Correction fluid.

This is our first cache found. We started of with our in car GPS but could not get close enough so went home and grabbed the Etrex Legend which led us straight there. Great find close to home

On the way to Port Stephens fishing we saw a cache pop upon Antpadgem's GPS. Only one thing to do GRAB IT! headed in boat and all quick search and cache was in hand.
Took-nothing
Left-soccer ball.
TFTC.

Port Stephens was the aim
Trailer Boat Fishing Comp our game
A couple of caches on the way
We might be late, what can I say
So Loaded was the first on our list
Accomplished with the help of The Handles 6
A nice easy one on the track
Even got to it with a boat on the back

Found at 1:15pm.

This popped up on the GPS on the trip home from Port Macquarie & I thought I may as well have a rest for 10 minutes or so.

A fantasic big park & a great cache container too - you have certainly done a great job with it. It was a bit hard to open though & is a great size.

Took nothig, except for the Duck Migration Travel Bug. Quack! Left Nothing.

Thanks forthe cache.

I had thought about this one last night, but decided against it, chasing some sleep instead. So, early this morning, I headed off in search for it. The little arrow took me directly there, and the cache was "unloaded" in seconds. Its what I needed, a large cache to fit one wayward migrating duck inside. This duck has stars in his eyes. So this really is a suitable cache for him to reside in for a while.
First for the day, obviously when found at 6.50am, and 35th for the trip down south.

Cheers
Bundy

Easy find, although the satelites were not very friendly.

took TB

Fantastic cache container. You have put a lot of work into that one.

It had been raining quite heavily and everything was dry but we got attacked by mosquitos when going for the cache Blood sucking little pests!!

TNLN - thank you for the cache

Found on our way to Coffs Harbour.
L - Diabetes TB

Found early on our way to Coffs Harbour. Nice easy walk in. Had to keep our eye on a muggle walking a dog. This is cache number 3 by BodySteppingFreak for us. We like the art work.
L - Diabetes TB (having trouble dropping this into Loaded Inventory) Could the finder please send me the tracking number again - I will have to work on this. Thanks

Star Light Star Bright!
thanks She who must be obeyed and Acko

This was a great way to break up the trip back to Sydney. The geo family went for a short stroll through the park and we had the cache in moments. Geo daughter wanted the Chicken Little top so left a flashing penguin. Loved the container and it truly is big enough to be fully loaded. TFTC

Found the cache at 8.10pm. love your cache so excellent artwork - I should learn some artwork one day!!! TNLNSL. Thank you for organise the cache and hunt.

Rocked up at dusk, and headed into the park under the watchful gaze of some locals out on the front porch partaking of some liquid refreshment. Thankfully the walk took me out of sight. Found the cache quickly and easily as there was no one around enjoying the park.
No swaps, but signed the log.
Thanks for the cache!
best wishes,
Wal

Surprising it has survived in a place so open interesting colour cache scheme ...

Quick find on my way to Medowie! Thanks for the Cache!

#9 find today. Love the artwork as usual. Took toy fluffy dog, left matchbox car. Thanks for the hunt. Never even knew this place existed before today

Cards for poker draw were interesting / tempting, but left them for someone else.

Aaaahhh, a long awaited FTF fix

After trekking through the bush earlier today for 'Bushrangers Cave', I decided a nice stroll in a park would be in order.

Parked at the end of Freeth St and went for a walk across the sporting fields. Had some fun at the site working out which tree was the likely culprit before letting the caching instincts come to the fore. A pile of wood looked a bit sus to the eye, and voila! a new cache is at hand.

The container was a typical bit of BSF artwork, with the container itself a very decent size. After perusing the contents (took a blow up toy, left a code breaker disc and a fart balloon), tried to look casual while sitting and checking photos on the camera while the muggles walked by.

Cache replanted when the coast was clear, then a walk back to the car.

Thanks BSF.

(PS: if anyone should happen to find the litle black belt-clip button from the back of my 60C I would appreciate a quick note, thanks)
