Looks like this cache has out lived its time, people keep muggling it. Farewell dear cache.
 
20-Aug-15
Until I can get to it and see what's up.
 
26-Jun-15
This is our second time here, and unfortunately same result.
 
21-Mar-15
No find for me today.
 
06-Feb-15
After mulching around in the farmers friends for about 10 minutes I stopped looking for this one Sad
Such a lovely area but just isn't maintained by the council
 
17-Oct-14
New container and log, cache on..
 
12-Oct-14
I say it's a goner
 
07-Sep-14
No luck here! Someone might have taken it!
 
30-Aug-14
No luck here. We did not want to spend too much time searching, since we were here to find the remaining pots of gold.
 
26-Jul-14
Found it eventually. It's not where it's clue says it is. Which isn't a bad thing because they look a bit sad.
 
13-Jul-14
Merci beaucoup
 
13-Jul-14
Got lucky I think and found it quickly. Thanks!
 
06-Jul-14
Geotrail helped to make this a very quick find, which is lucky, because I was a bit concerned a noisy nearby dog was causing unwanted attention. Tftc xo
 
09-May-14
I looked for this once before without success. It was not hidden under the clue and it's camo worked successfully for a while.
 
03-May-14
That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.
 
23-Apr-14
First attempt at this one over a year ago was MIA but now back online for an easy find. Trickiest part was being alert to passing muggles who seemed to appear out of nowhere along the sweeping pathway.
 
21-Apr-14
Found 1
 
19-Apr-14
Oh what a great day for caching. Perfect dry and cool weather. And yes there were 26 finds to make today. Today's team members were The Voucher, Melelina, and flytoSYD. Log was signed. TFTC.
 
19-Apr-14
First of 18 today caching with melelina and flytoSYD. Quick one here. TFTC!!
 
19-Apr-14
Our plan was to log 26 today and if we were successful the Voucher was to buy our first round of celebratory beers. One of those happened, the other didn't. Dropped off a TB I bought in Yuma Arizona.
 
12-Feb-14
Needing a cache for the day we had a small window of time in the morning so with a small detour headed over. No muggles about on the path and we soon arrived at GZ. We a quick search and we soon made the find and now we know what the hint means. We completed the signing duties, dropped in a geo coin and re hid. TFTC
 
30-Dec-13
First one on a nice day out with the boys and Shelly
 
30-Dec-13
Out with FootyFanatics, pdbunce and chrissybunce on this warm but breezy Monday. First time in this area and first cache of the day. Quick find and onto other 'Rainbow Spirit' Pot 'O caches.
 
30-Dec-13
Found it while on holidays and in the area with Evangt, Chrissyb and Pdbunce. First find of the day and we didn't have any trouble with this one. TFTC
 
20-Nov-13
With a bit of spare time and wanting to make my way towards 4,999 finds before the weekend, I put my geo-cycle in the car and headed to the Rainbow that is the Pot of Gold. The Rats had previously told me that this is a very enjoyable bike ride. He neglected to mention that every cache is devious and difficulty. Maybe this is a Trail, and not a Power Trail Wink

My last cache of the day, and my 4,999th cache. Objective achieved!

Cheers

#2,268

The first cache find for me today, very close to where we parked to ride the Rainbow to the Pot of Gold.

Very easy, as the container was exposed, with no camo. I added a little after I replaced the container, so hopefully it is less visible from the bike track now.

Thanks Rainbow Spirit Smile
 
19-Oct-13
Tftc nice easy find Very Happy
 
16-Oct-13
Nice easy find
 
08-Oct-13
Having an extra long weekend I decided to take full advantage of everyone going back to work or school and decided to put the bike in the car and head up to western Sydney for a spot of caching. This is a great area for bike riding and I was able to get everyone of my finds by cycleway.

Having put the bike away for the day, I drove round here where after a short walk the cache was in hand.
Thanks
 
24-Sep-13
Found this one yesterday and forgot to log it. 20 minutes rummaging around and had the cache finally!
 
21-Sep-13
Look real hard. GPS is all over the place in the area. Said I was 5 m away and I was right next to it
 
09-Sep-13
Another easy find today. Makes a nice change after the difficulty I had over the past 2 days.
 
28-Aug-13
I found this geocache using the Geocaching Intro App. TFTC!
 
10-Aug-13
Easy find with the clue. I was looking around the wrong place at first, as I had last time.
TFTC.

08-May-13
Back on the to find list, now a small, not a regular.
 
06-May-13
Somethings not right here, it shouldn't be that hard to find, I'll do a check on it soon.
 
04-May-13
Had a good look around but no luck
 
03-May-13
No luck for me, just couldn't find it. The hint made sense to me but it didn't help.
 
25-Apr-13
No luck today. Looked for quite a while.

Only just noticed the hint. Perhaps I'll do a bit of research and try again some other time.
 
10-Feb-13
Hmm, must have missed the obvious here? It has been a while since I missed a container this size! Unless it is not there or the e coords had me looking in the wrong spot? Have to return.

#1520- NickoHeap was surprised at how easy this one was. Lovely spot near the lake. Thanks RS.
 
11-Nov-12
I was hanging back- mum and my brother found it before I got there.
 
11-Nov-12
Couldn't believe how out in the open it was. Thanks
 
31-Oct-12
This is probably one of the easiest Rainbow Spirit caches that we have found. I was prepared for a bit of a search but I walked to where the GPS wanted turned around and spotted it. Didn't spot any green and brown frogs or green or brown snakes which I thought I might encounter crossing through the reedy area in the drain to get to GZ. Thanks RS.
 
13-Oct-12
Did not find a TB in this.
 
28-Sep-12
I have come down from the Gold Coast for my brother's 60th birthday and I just had to combine it with a good number of Sydney caches.

I am really revisiting my home town because I was born and bred in the Lidcombe area and my brother lives at Guildford so I have picked some caches around the general area and looking forward to see how many I can fit in.

Another one from you today Rainbow Spirit this must be your stomping ground.

This was an easy walk to GZ after I finally found a parking spot in the shops across the road.

I was pleased to find this lovely park muggleless.

The cache very obvious to a cachers eye which always makes e smile that there are hundreds sometimes thousands of people walk by our caches and have no idea they are there.

I concealed it a bit better when I left but the wind was quite strong so may not last long.

Took the TB to take with me back to Queensland and move it more around Australia.

Thanks Rainbow Spirit TFTC SL

12-Jun-12
What a lovely spot. We went to the shops, bought some crisps, ate them by the lake and watched a Porphyrio porphyrio melanotus (hehe), then we went to find the cache. No need to bring geodad this time. Geokid found this one by himself Wink Thanks RS for a good cache.
 
07-Jun-12
Should have trusted GPS instead of following the Geotrails, returned to where arrow took us and had a quick find. Kids were excited to find a cache with lots of swaps! Thanks for a great cache!
Didn't find the TB

Found with Nathonicus. Overthought this one a little bit so it took a little longer to find.

12-Jan-12
Easy.... Once I found it. GPS helped. TFTC. Another beauty Rainbow. Thanks.
 
12-Jan-12
Found while on a bike ride in the area. Lovely day to be outside. Park is a lovely place although the fountain was not operating today. TFTC
 
08-Jan-12
The shoddy iphone compass made this 5 star difficulty.
 
07-Jan-12
Found by my helpers Christian & Natalie.
 
27-Nov-11
After a pleasant day at City Farm I was able to drag the family to this nearby cache. A quick find due to a good hint. The fountain was spluttering out brown water / swamp monsters? TFTC!

TTFC. Found with C4NTSP3AK. Nice easy find. Took a clip and replaced it with a pen.
 
12-Nov-11
Found it with geoexplorer12
TFTC took a clip replaced with pen
very very easy find if you don't think
too hard about it Big Grin lol watch out for the bugs though
 
10-Nov-11
I don't know, sometimes the simplest caches seem the hardest, spent way to long looking for this one, and just thought to go back to where the co-ords are, step back and look. Bingo. TFTC
- took both TB's and the geoKrety TB - been sitting here for a bit so will move them on, was going to drop a TB in but I realised I had them in my other bag, so will drop another in next time I pass by.
 
09-Oct-11
A nice easy find, but sadly not accompanied by the sound of a fountain in action. Not even any ducks on the water today.
An easy enough find, and full of TB's so dropped 1, took 2, discovered 2.
Thanks for a not too challenging cache (for a change).

Note - there was a 5th TB in the cache that does not appear to be activated, maybe the next finder or the CO could check if it was one with an owner ID on it (some had tags added, some did not) and let them know
 
01-Oct-11
Yup the last place we looked!!! Dropped off some travel bugs I got back home in Geelong! Carry them along quickly please. 4:22am and now raining. TFTC!
 
01-Oct-11
Looked a bit too hard but found it after standing back and thinking about it. TFTC Smile

An early start to get some caches found, before attending the local event later today. Soon located this one - good big cache. SL TFTC

1st of my 10 today,tftc.
 
25-Aug-11
Great Day to be out and about. Thanks for the hide. Left TB.
 
12-Aug-11
Reperio at 1335. Parked along side the road just down from GZ and walked back up the rise. Arrived to find a couple of muggles sitting on the nearby seat, but once I had ducked down a bit, they were no longer in line of sight, and the cache was soon found.

Gratias.
 
09-Jul-11
There were plenty muggles about today due to a few soccer matches on the nearby fields. Simple but effective hide. Dropped TB - this won't show up in the Geocaching log as it is an external bug from Geokrety.com. TFTC
