Bit harder to find this it was my second ever cache ! Dont be fooled by the yellow wheel barrow like I was that is not the clue youre looking for!
#8340 (6 of 7 today)
Head to the Campbelltown LGA today for more calendar finds. Was after five, but ended up grabbing seven. Bargain.
Started with some *Park & Grabs*, but I was specifically targeting two older caches that I've eyed for quite a while. And a nice walk they were too.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
And here is the first of my main targets for the day. Got here an hour later than planned due to my unexpected phone call, so these two caches will be my last for the day. I'm amazed the rain has actually held off so far.
Parked at the trailhead and started in the vague direction of this one. Soon took a MTB trail that seemed to be going closer to GZ than the main trail, and after taking a few turns found myself at a big jump and about 20 metres from GZ.
Stared towards the cache and with five metres left saw a spot that looked cachey. Checked it to see it was very cachey indeed. CIH!
Completed signing duties and replaced. And not a MTB muggle to be seen.
Pleasant walk so far. Now to get to the other.

I had two options for today, mow the lawn or go caching. Not much of a decision really. Being a reasonably cool summer's day I thought it might be a good day for some bush caches.
A bit of a bush bash off the tracK I was on abut an easy enough walk.
Took a while to spot what was referred to the hint but then I knew I was on the right track and found it not long after that.
Took ear plugs (for when I eventually get around to mowing the lawn), left some ooshies.

Enjoying the afternoon strolling through the bushland and searching for caches. Great way to finish the work day. TFTC!
Wow! Wasn't sure what was behind the cache name but think I know now. Those are some intense MTB trails and CRAZY jumps! Unreal! Like others before us, I think we took the harder route here but was much simpler on the way out of course. Always great finding the bigger caches. Thanks so much for placing this here!
Catching up on logging all my finds since i joined in July. Loved the swaps - there was even a step counter!!! Tftc!
tegator I found your cache The Big "5" on 20/7/19, 3:45 pm. This is my find 2423 and find # 6 today. Not knowing the area, I think I took the hard way. Got there in the end. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN
Good find. Think we went the wrong way to get there and climbed up some steep rocks. With minty_crisis
Spoiler photo, but thought was a good idea, as gps was slightly off. Geokids had fun finding it. Left some swag
Bit difficult to find as there were a few places it could be hidden. Covered by a few rocks as well so have fun finding it
Located at 1:12pm. Another 189 days unloved accrued Many thanks to the CO for the nice hide in a nicely hidden sanctuary. Спасибо! תודה! L’chaim! TFTC!
Yay! I'm the first person for 2017 to find it. Very tricky landscape to get to.
An easy find in the end as there are lots of neat hiding spots. The GPS was a bit inaccurate for me. TFTC
No geotrail for a change. However, our GPS was accurate (for a change) and we soon spied the cache. Saw a quail nearby, but he wouldn't let me take a reasonable photo. TFTC
A quick follow on from Mini 'A' here - once again we were surprised by the difficulty of some of the MTB tracks in the area - would be amazing to see the locals do their stuff.

An easy find although we didn't spot anything relating to the clue. Enjoyed exploring this area of bushland with Delloro. TFTC!

Bush bashed over here from 'mini A'. There are some amazing trees around here. We stopped to admire quite a few around the area. Can't imagine how old some of them must be. We found the container quite quickly after determining the correct height. Signed the log then had a picnic lunch on a nearby rock... lovely area. It was a shame our serenity was disturbed by loud bangs, I'm assuming coming from the army camp nearby. TFTC.
A nice walk around the bike tracks this afternoon and a little bush bash to grab this one. TFTC.
Walked to this one directly from Mini 'A'. A great idea, what an enjoyable trek. Thanks for this pair of caches, a fun area to explore through!
A good walk in the bush. Make sure you are snake wary and always know where you are. Worth the effort
PennilynLott and I are a couple of geocache newbies so it was fun to get out together and test our skills and to actually find the cache was the icing.
What a nice little spot! Found it with a storm brewing overhead so I had to find it quickly. Didn't take anything or put anything inside
Found this one while doing "Mini A" great hiding place, not sure if I would attempt the MB tracks close by though I'm too old for that sort of riding.
Great cache! A couple of ants in the cache box but no major problems. Left a trackable. TFTC
As part of the Well Rounded size cache challenge (GC43QPJ) I needed to find a Regular cache, so here I looked.
A nice quick find of the yellow, we found the cache shortly after.

The co-ords seemed spot on for me. Heading over from 'mini A' I too did not find the path until I headed back to the car, but the terrain was not too tough. TFTC!
Had to do a bit of a bush bash to get to this one, found the walking track out after. Thanks for the cache!
Found it after only a few minutes looking. 2nd find of the day - I think I'm getting the hang of this now!

Left 'Y' and 'E' behind and went bush by myself, enjoyed the walk and the find. Those MTB's must be crazy on those trials. Many thanks for the find, left a couple of TB's for the next person (one of the TB's I left I noticed has been missing for a long time. I tried to re-activate it but can't. Maybe the next finder is smarter than me, all TB's deserve to continue their journey)
A quick walk from Mitrack look like not bni A had me here in 5 minutes! Lots of the eing used much anymore?

Straight to the cache,Rewarded with a huge cache, bush bashed, to the other cache near by. There these bike tracks along the way the bikers must be nuts. TNSL TFTC
Well thanks for the bush walk on this one! was a great stroll! Hint to those who may want to get this one done a bit quicker, when you leave the parking area near the house at the end of the road, and head into the bush, take a left and go up the hill and start heading to the cache from there. Don't go right unless you feel like a 30 min walk like we did!
Team member Larissa spotted this one after I walked right past it. Don't worry about the yellow marker in the hint, there are yellow markers all over the place.
The mountain bike tracks here are fantastic, and it was a shame there were no mountain bikers going around, as some of the jumps are fantastic to say the least. would loved to have watched that!
Took Water Pistol and slinky
Left Penguin Toy and wallet Bottle Opener.
Nice big container, shame there was not more good stuff in this one!

Did a bit of CITO as there were a few bits of rubbish about. This took quite a long time to locate (about 15 or so minutes) as I had left the GPS in the car and forgot to get it (and couldn't be bothered [:o] luckily the hint (as i had read it before ) helped me enormously!

Good walk found quite easily however as somebody left a can of mother right next to it, we disposed of it though and covered it up a little, picked up travel bug.
Unreal Bike track!!! Coming back with my bike!!!! Maddo87 found this one quickly. Left shark tb
A great area with some cool tracks!
Thanks for showing me the area - I never knew this was here

Gps was playing up something aweful I think I may have circled the cache a few dozen times, finally found it though. Thanks. No yellow though
We bushed bashed to this one from mini A. It was a fun way to get there. Geomutt leading the way.. how she knew where to go kinda beats me, I was the one with the gizmo in hand.
Found it easilly.
Now this part of the MTB trails look alot kinder than the terrain at mini A, this i could probably deal with.
This area looks awesome and is a place you could spend a whole day discovering either on foot or on wheels.

Found while checking the local tracks out rios and I had planned of getting to this one for a while but never had the opportunity till today... Glad we got to find this one. Had a lovely conversation with a resident cyclist who showed us a few of the nicer tracks TFTC TN L commando duck TB
Hey Sgt.Salem88 that was me.
Had my suspicions that you guys could have been cachers, should have made more of an effort to find out what you were up to.
Cheers,
Michael (GPS).

found this one with sgt.salem88 and as we were walking to the gz we met a cyclist who i have just found out was gammapisigma nice to see a fellow cacher on a run great hide these jumps look like fun will have to come back tftc
We followed the MTB tracks down, but eventually ended up too low, so we had to scramble back up the hill. I found it while everyone was still following. Not sure what the big 5 were, or whether it was a reference to something we missed, but we didn't miss the cache. Thanks
