Today Lil Dwarfette and I went to Crazy Clark’s and picked up some cheap shoes for her to wear so it doesn’t matter so much if they get dirty.
We hopped into the car and I typed the street name of the first cache into my Navman S50 GPS navigator and off we went. She was letting me know after every time the navigator told us to “turn left in 500 metres” etc hehe. We got near where we had to be then turned around and went back to a car park near a playground. We jumped out and I set the coordinates into my handheld GPSr (why don’t the Navman devices let you put in Longitude/Latitude?) *Sigh*
Off we walked following the little arrow. We walked along to a walkway which went up a bit of a slope. I thought the cache might be underneath it, due to the clues in the cache page, but it wasn’t. We did see a bluetongue lizard in the grass and then went back onto the pathway. When the GPSr said we only had about 2metres to go, I went hunting around while Lil Dwarfette stayed on the walkway. I found the cache rather easily and dropped in a snowman and took a little whistle for Lil Dwarfette. She was so excited. We headed off to the playground and she had fun with the kids for about half an hour.

Next, we jumped back in the car and I typed in the next location into the Navman and off we drove again. This time we got there very easily and hopped out and followed the arrow. It was obvious where the cache would be — again from the clues — so we walked straight to it. I looked in all the obvious locations where it wasn’t until I was nearly frustrated and nearly kicked the damn cache! Oh! There it is. Easy as pie lol! We opened it and she took out a flowerly lei and we dropped in some Xmas gift tags, wrote in the book and drove off again to home to decorate our Christmas tree.

A really great day out for both of us. Lil Dwarfette is tired out and having a nice sleep now.
