Out & about with evangt & chrissybunce for a few caches late in the afternoon. Searched the rock wall for quite a while, then found that the recent logs indicated it hadn't been found in a while and was about to give up when evangt squashed his finger with a rock.
Nice little find on a very quiet Saturday in the area. Walked up to this one with pdbunce and chrissybunce. After a little search we discovered it hasn't been found in months. Looked a little longer and decided to give up. Especially when I hurt myself with a rock falling on my now heavily bruised finger. Oops. Will return if someone finds it.
No luck with this one, I hope the owner can check on this one soon to see if it is still around.
Couldn't locate cache. Is it still there? Or has the area been landscaped recently?
Nice place Gregory Hills, we'll have to revisit this park with some work-out gear and food. TFTC.
Stopped by here after helping mate out for the day, Lucky find as the co ordinates were a bit out here. (8m) Cheers

Out on a run with Team Sunderland....what a great new area this is....nice quick easy find by geodad....T4TC
Found it after a little bit of looking!Needs a new book,no room to write. Dropped off a geo tag attached to a lego person, please keep it moving. Nice new estate, very peaceful, great park for the geokids. TFTC
just another brick in the wall and another found on my slate, just signed a piece of paper as it needs a new book. TFTH
Had to wait for some muggles to leave, then we had the park to ourselves (on a Saturday lunchtime?!?) Took a gift and left a gift. TFTC
Not a muggle around gave me a chance to search without any hurry, before to long cache in hand and duties done .log book ful. TFTC
Pretty easy find while driving around looking at real estate. No pen though so we didn't sign the log. TFTC
Fairly straight forward find. Glad I found this one, GPS got me to the GZ, in the obvious spot, short search and its in hand. Made me feel better after several DNF's
Found this one with non/semi Geo Friend. After a few DNF's lately this was a most welcome find. Took the Travel Bug and will help the little guy on his way.
Nice easy cache to start our afternoon. The cache needs a new log book as it was very full.
Left TB Cosmo Pup, which was long over due for a drop off.
Took ball bearing game.
Left Candy Rubber.

geokid found this one all on his own.. log is getting pretty full, may need replacing soon. thanks
Cute hide, glad to see a decent park being planned into the development cheers
A very nice little park in this new residential development. I've placed my first trackable - a NSW geocoin - in this cache to start its journey and hopefully it will reach its destination in the US one day. My sister, whom I have not seen for 13 years, lives there and if the geocoin does get there, I'll go and fetch it. TFTC
Thought I'd had enough seeing rocks with Cruzing today, but this was one was a real beauty.

Always nice to have an easy stroll from another cache, and always nice to see some traditional hiding methods.
Thanks prospector27, keep them coming (closer to me, say 13km NE?)

I came here earlier in the day but the place was packed with families having a great day together, now later in the day the place was all mine
A quick find and then to throw some ball for a very patient puppy.
I love the exercise circuit set up that they have here. Its a great idea - hopefully it gets used.

The road to this one wasn't on the GPS, but it was easy to find, nonetheless. At the moment there's little more here than the developer's sales office at the end of the road. We had the place to ourselves to make a nice easy find. Thanks
The youngest, NickoHeap, just loves clambering over rocks, so this was right up his alley. He had it in hand very quickly. The nearby street was empty today, but no doubt in years to come when all these houses go up, it will be much busier. TFTC
Took me a while to find the entrance to the estate as I was coming from Campelltown.
Once at GZ it was a quick easy find.

Took me a minute to find, but looking back it was quite easy... Took the little blue plane TB. SL TFTC!
There wasn't anyone around while we located the cache. I dare say that will change soon enough.

This place is a ghost town at the moment; I bet it will not be like that in a few years!

This one was a doozy at first due to it's non existence on google maps, so we tried gaining acess from Eaglevale Rd through the school only to be turned away. So we went the long way round only to find plenty of muggles around near the play equipment and BBQ's. Within full sight of those eating, we sat on the wall and looked as if we were a couple breaking up (works all the time!!). Took a while to finally locate, but was well hidden with some extra camo on top. TFTC, the area was completely new to us and is as if it had sprung up over night
Found this one quite quickly. Great park for the kids nearby, with new under over BBQ areas and great playground.

We couldn't get close to this one today. About 20 landscape gardeners planting trees around the water feature at GZ. We'll return another day.

My iPhone was surprisingly accurate and put me right at GZ and then a quick find. Tftc.
FTF arrived home and turned on the computer to find this new one the closest unfound cache to home. So it was back up Camden Valley Way to the new estate of Gregory Hills. We parked a safe distance away near a new park with BBQ facilities and an adventure playground for geo-kids and walked to GZ. We soon found the cache and an empty log book . We left a geo-coin and exchanged swaps. Once back at the geo-mobile we drove to the new exhibition homes. Thanks prospector27.
