Geocaching

Monday 20 January 2014 Playground series #3 Well after failing to find this last time we decided to ask OldSaint for a hint and did he come up with goods.  Even with this brilliant and kind help, which gave us a very good idea what to look for, the cache we were still not sighting it.  But we were in luck, because Ella our granddaughter was with us and she pointed out the object in question.  Sue and Peter were concentrating on a spot a bit to the right hand side.  Unfortunately the news took Peter's mind off the ground he was on and he trod on what a dog left behind (well you know what) and while he cleaned his garden boot up, Sue dashed up to collect the object.  However on close examination there was definitely not a log included and we thought maybe in had been muggled.  Sue went back to the location and lo and behold there was an identical object and this time it included a log.

By the time we finished it felt quite warm and a lunch stop at Augusto Café was called for. Playground series #3 We had in mind the comment in JABs log about something "out of place", but a fair amount of time was pent looking without success. Some kids came through to the play equipment but didn't seem bothered by us roaming about peering. Leonard Wall Valley Street Reserve On approaching the site a ute was parked at the entrance and the resident next to the park was stowing prunings for a trip to the tip. Fortunately he was too busy and looking the other way when we swooped on the cache. Our 1st Cache/ Playground series#1 Went to the likely spot and Sue soon found the cache. Kids were at the
