How terribly interesting, this cache has not been found since January 2017 and as 'Kid Ron Satan' suggested, I should do some maintenance.

This afternoon 'urban cachers' found the cache so I though I should go and investigate.

The cache is no longer at or anywhere near GZ, I certainly could not find it.

I will be archiving this cache.

I searched the area today and the cache could not be located.

The area has changed since the cache was originally placed and is no longer suitable.

GazMag

Please check - no finds since January.

No luck for us we think we found where it should be

Looked long and hard but no luck.

10/2/17. 2:04 PM.
My 1 DNF (following 7 finds) - Londonderry & Richmond.

Very hot in the middle of the day, but I was after a few finds, so thought that some park & grabs would keep me mostly in the comfort of the air-conditioned car. I decided to hit a line of caches on Londonderry Road, heading north.

I continued here from "What is EucFACE?" and this was going to be my last cache for the day, find or not. I wandered around for a while, looking for anything out of the ordinary, but nothing stood out. I picked up plenty of items but nothing cachey. It's too hot to spend any more time on a DNF, so I headed for home. TFTC.
} : )

Found it

Thanks for the great hide log is full

TFTC. Great camo. GPS had us a bit off so we spent longer looking than we should have. Once we ditched the GPS we were better off.

Nice one... TFTC

Quick find with Bec and Ollie.

Hot day today but great for caching

Found on 28/10/16 on drive out to Mt Tomah. Catching up with logs. Thanks.

Tftc! Nifty hide

Tftc. After walking in circles following the GPS, we downed tools and just looked around. Soon had cache in hand. Great hide.

A nice quick find, it's in good condition. TFTC

Quite a clever bit of camo work, great effort. Just three today after canoeing at Yarramundi with geoRyan. The gates of Warragamba Dam must be open to flush the river as the amount of flowing water is incredible. Our goal was to paddle to Clark island, not surf down there but chose to paddle around the lake only. Had loads of fun and thanks CO for the hide.

Found while out and about. Nice hide. TFTC

Pushing to make 1000 finds by next Saturday I travelled from Greystanes today to hope bag a good number. Thank to all the CO for hiding these for me to find. I saw something that belonged but was not quiet right as I approached GZ.. FLlipped it and bingo. TFTC.

TFTC Gazmag, not exactly what we expected but close. This GZ gave the inspiration for finishing touches of the first cache we'll place together.

Found with Ani-del TFTC

Nice fast find but my own failed me again so will send a photo to the co. Favourite point for me for the fun cache container

Awesome camouflage...great hide without to much trouble finding. Beautiful day out so road was busy. TFTC.

A very easy find - it was sitting face up on the ground! Signed and replaced as best we could. TFTC!

Found while photographing birds. TFTC

This afternoon I headed to Windsor for my weekly bowling comp via Richmond. The reason for this was that there are caches here that were hidden on dates I need in order to fill my 'finds by hidden date' grid. I've only got 6 to go, so an opportunity to knock over 3 of them, without even going much out of my way, was something I couldn't pass up.

This one, the first of the 3 I needed, turned out to be a straightforward find thanks to good coords ... and because the outer container (which I particularly liked) had been left upside down exposing the inner to view. After adding my name to the roll, I replaced the container as I guess it should have been and added some natural camo as well to make things look a little more natural.

Thanks very much for placing this cache when you did GazMag, and for the smiley too.

Nice little bit of camo, someone left it a little too visible, covered with some more natural camo

#2732 (11 of 12 today) (Streak day 277)

At home today we are having a scheduled power outage - something about maintenance / upgrades. So no point staying home.
The Geowife originally had plans but they fell through. She ended up taking Geoson #3 to Miranda and I headed *waaaaaaay* out west to find a whole bag of caches.

In the end I found twelve in the late morning / afternoon sun - at one point the car was saying it was 35 outside - but there were also a few DNFs - I blame the heat.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
And this was a nice quick one.

On approach spotted something that just grabbed my attention, so checked it first - CIH!

Completed signing duties, then replaced with extra natural camo.

TFTC

Found it, the log is a bit wet, possibly as the cache was sitting exposed, replaced as I think it was intended

Hadn’t planned on grabbing this one today but as it showed on the gps as I was driving by, made the quick stop. Co-ords spot on but needed pliers to unscrew the lid it was on so tight and concealed in the camo at an angle that made it tricky to access without a tool. Should be ok now for next finder.

Out with JJCC in order to pickup our daily cache to keep our current streak active. We were in Windsor earlier this afternoon and had some time up our sleeve before a meeting in Richmond this evening. With a light sprinkle of rain we parked the car about 50 metres away on the side of the main road away from the corner.

Walking up towards GZ we followed the little path into the university then out towards the large tree and we began our search. Do you think we could find it...how hard was this one going to be? After about 30 minutes ferreting around we basically had given up hope of finding the cache on todays visit and decided to call it a day. On our walk back to the car we walked passed the other tree nearby closest to the path and immediately spotted the cache sticking straight up in the air with the camo upside down (we assume). With the cache now safely in hand we both signed the log before replacing to the spot were we found it...only now the camo is the correct way up.

TNLN. Two TBs visited - Bart and Vanlith The Youngling
Both the cache container and log are in excellent condition. The log sheet is full on the front and we are the second and third to sign on the back. TFTC GazMag

Out with Team Merlin in order to keep our current streak active.
We had a short time fill so we decided to have a look for the cache Farmlands #4.
Parking close to the indicated coordinates we then walked towards GZ.
When at GZ we looked for sometime not having any luck we widened our search but still nothing. Heading back to the car with a DNF we passed another possible location. It was here we noticed the cache container in plain site sticking straight up in the air. With the cache in hand we both signed the log and returned it in the correct orientation. Both the log and cache container and are in good condition.

A quick and easy find. Cache and log in good shape. Tftc

Found with taxiontherun. love the camo

Easy first thing I pick up

Quick easy find TFTC

Walked right by it....

At the moment I'm on a work and travel backpacking trip through the world. Most of the first two years I'll spend in Australia and I'm trying to solve my 365 days of caching challenge during this trip. The chance of having a moving home zone should be taken, as it will make the challenge so much easier.

This one was a quick and easy find.

TFTC and greetings from Germany

Walked right up for the quick find. TFTC!!

Nice weather today, enjoyed drive to Richmond for some caches... Hide well... Thank

A sneaky cache between jobs. Walked straight past it the first time. TFTC

Love the camouflage! Easy find TFTC!

That, is an AWESOME cache camo :O

Very impressed and a good little spot. Muggle activity at a high when I was there (7:44pm)

But loved the cache!

Tftc ^_^

Nice quick find, TFTC

Great day out for caching with Everlasting - enjoyed this area. Thanks for bringing us here ???

Nice park area - very quiet today - Thanks GazMag

Tftc

Tftc, nice n easy. Tfth

After a leading a double canyon trip out at Medlow Bath, I was exhausted, but still needed to find a cache today. I had just found another nearby, so I decided to drive further and get another.
In the dark, armed with only a UV torch, I literally stumbled into the park on tired legs, (my foot went down a deep invisible hole in the gutter,) and took a tumble.
Back on my feet (I yell to the passing headlights that I meant to do it) I limp over to gz and found a likely object which concealed the cache and there it was.
Signed and resealed I made my slow way home for a long sleep. SHHHH! Don't wake me up.
Thanks for the cache.

Found on a mini expedition out to Richmond and surrounds. Walked straight up to the cache for a quick grab. SL TFTC GazMag!

Cheeky night cache with YTTAM!
4th for thisevening

Just finished all my uni exams, so it was time to celebrate with a caching trip out with steveb95.

Find number four for the night, having just found this cache's questionable sister cache a few hundred meters back down the road. The GPS took us to the side of the park, and steve didn't have to leave the car as I ran over and made the retrieval. Always nice to pick up a friendly find, guess that's why you've gotta make these ones premium! Hopefully this one remains unmuggled, good easy stuff. TFTC.

This one was a good hide but quickly found while officers were conducting an RBT operation close by. TFTC.

8,991 + 1,010 = 10,001. Found during a work trip to the Penrith region.

Working at Penrith during the week I decided to do the Power trail near here today. After a 6 hour walk I had finished but still had some time up my sleeve. Wanting a few drive-bys I drove around picking a few at random. I grabbed this one nice and quick, signed, returned and then off to the next one !

Thanks again GazMag !

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers....

Cute hiding spot. Enjoyed this one. Tftc

Found during a break from class tftc

Quick easy find by luck of the drawer, walked upto the place and went "well damn" worried the job was going to be hard, kicked the ground and found it straight away, looking like it's my lucky day, awesome hiding place

Barefoot friendly cashe

TFTC. Found with geodad.

Nice hide. Worth a fave point.

Hmm! No idea what I am looking for here. I'll be back.

As you approach it is not in the obvious traditional hide. GPS was spot-on to the real location. Good camo made a good hide.

nicely hidden, tftc

found

Nice camo. TFTC

Walked to gz and dug around for a bit.. Loved the camo. Favourite point given, this one makes 200 finds for me...TFTC

Made my way down the thin black line again this morning, Looking to pick up some caches starting around Blacktown then West to Richmond and all point south to Camden. Love the Richmond Camden area’s so full of history. Great cache. TFTC

A quick find but a nice bit of camo nonetheless. TFTC!

Distance from original: 200.7 feet or 61.2 meters.
The old cache has gone missing a couple of times so I moved it, hopefully this one will last a little longer.

Cache now good to go.

GazMag

Thank you to Zeak12 and Everlasting for your DNF logs, I went for a cache check this morning and yes the little guy has gone.

I will replace it very soon.

GazMag

That's another DNF for us

No luck for us... so DNF. Thanks.

Quick find as an end had been pushed through too far. Tftc

Logging caches on my personal trackable.

So devious but good, got this on the way home.

TFTC SL returned to its location.

Quick night find on the way home from oz_mumbles place.

Quick find.... Not sure about the clue though. TFTC

The hint gave me trouble last time. It had me looking in the tree. With a little hint from the CO showing me the error of my ways had me finding this much more quickly. TFTC.

Left the geokids dueling on the grassy side whilst the Nano/Micro Queen displayed why she holds the crown (yet again).
TFTC GazMag

Caching with All Strung Out and kieran6 ... for once this micro seemed doable and a confident stride towards the GZ as the Nano Queen (Mrs ASO) is preoccupied with the junior ASO antics. Aaaah, but 'mushroom has to blink ... once again Mrs ASO demurely holds aloft the 'prize'. TFTC

This one intrigued me but still the same result. I thought I understood the clue but got no result. Thanks for the hunt.

This one is down the end of our street, so it's about time we picked it up. Easily spotted. Although we chose a quiet time, we did get busted by one uni student driving in, who gave us a knowing smile and continued on her merry way. Cache and log in great condition. Thanks!

A nice spot and a fairly quick find...for a beginners standard!

Cute little cache, TFTF

Logging an old find.

TFTC and thank you for the great location. Caches like this make it a worthwhile activity.

Didn't take too long to find this one. A good hide. TFTC

Cache check, new log sheet installed. All good to go!!

Quick find. Tftc

Found, while visiting Sydney.
Clever little hide.
TFTC

Another one I forgot to log from 2 weeks ago thanks for the help Gaz,cheers.

Arriving i pulled up and grabbed some gear out of the boot and had myself 5 meters above the ground in no time! Good views from up there, but GZ was still 8 meters away??
Back down it made all sence quit quickly!
TFTC Wilbert67

Found this cache at 12:45 pm while heading to Katoomba for the weekend. Mr Bushy , in his younger days went to the Hawkesbury agriculture college for a few special weeks of learning.
Thanks Gazmag for the hide.
The Bushies.

#1,348

I have a hide like this, so as soon as I saw the spot I knew where I had to start looking

I'd read the hint for this one before I got to GZ, and thought I'd need to bring caching tool #11 out again. But I followed the GPS & it led me to search in a spot that definitely didn't need #11 to reach. Easy find

Thanks

I'd DNFed this one last time and some maintenance by the CO put it back where it should be. Today I was back in the area to clean this one up and was successful in my second spot. Signed and replaced without being disturbed by anyone.

Thanks!

Sneaky hide
Sl. Thank you

I read the logs and had a look but found nothing, PAF put me in the right sort of hiding spot, although there were many, but I didn't find it in any of the ones I looked in over a large range beyond GZ.

After a couple of DNF's, I thought it time to check up on this cache and sure enough, the little blighter had moved.

Yurt reminded me to post this Owner Maintenance so you all know the cache is good to go.

All replaced as it should be, just waiting for you!!

Cheers ... GazMag
