Nice drive down this little lane! GPS was a bit jumpy but looked where it seemed logical and found easily. TFTC Boooo Boooo
In between work gigs, a spare couple of geocaching hours available. Another easy find on way to more smileys and blueys. TFTC Booo Booo
Located at 8:42am. #1520.Full log to follow. ! Baruch Hashem! TFTC! Much obliged for the placement Booo Booo!Kindest Regards, - Alephroom.

Found It!
A nice drive down this little laneway to nowhere. Then found the cache after a short search.

Wow , what a interesting lane to get here , nice and quiet here . I’m glad I didn’t run into another vehicle coming down the lane. I guessed the right spot the cache maybe and wasn’t wrong . Left my traditional golden paper clip. Thanks for bringing me to this unexplored area of Cobbity. TFTC Booo
Out with Geowife for council elections so grabbing a few of the ones that have slipped under our radar in the area. GPS was a bit erratic due to the cloudy drizzling weather. After a little bit we zeroed in on the cache for a quick sign and retreat to the car from the mozzies. TFTC Booos. (sorry for the late logging it's becoming a bad habit)
Out for council elections so thought we’d do some caches afterwards.
Lots of mozzies around for this one because of the rain. SLTNLN
Thanks Booo Boooz

Nice little hide right about where I expected. Signed the log, left a little plastic bird found a couple of weeks ago in a different cache. On to the next! TFTC.
Found this one with our new garman 65, the old 60 model has had its day, we have passed this lane a good few times but never taken a drive down there. TFTH
Out and about while the geowife has her hair done. Picking up a few local caches. This cache held some interest for me. I’m certain that MANY years ago, I brought my son to play cricket on an Oval in this laneway! Isn’t there now, but could see the probable locale for it! So down to the end of the road and began my search. It was a little thorny, but soon had the CIH. It was plainly in clear sight out in the open, so I moved it ever so slightly out of plain sight. Brought some long forgotten memories back!

Found it on a grey and humid afternoon. Wasn't sure I'd found a geotrail as mentioned by others - still a bit of bush bashing required, plus stick waving due to spider webs everywhere, but eventually cache was in hand and signed. Thanks!
Popped out to Cobbity again today to continue my streak and this looked like it should be a nice quick park and grab. Pulling up at GZ, I had to wait for the farmer to round up the cows before I could begin my search. Luckily, they moved on quickly and I headed in the bush for my search, following a geo trail, and I quickly spotted the likely hide. I completed signing duties, cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks for the cache!
On my way home after work today and I had to stop off for a quick find to keep my count going. This was just off my intended route home, and up a quite lane away from prying muggle eyes. Taking the geomobile quite close to gz, I jumped out and went forward. Finding a geotrail helped with this one. It is starting to get dark and luckily seeing a great spot I headed over. A little hint of colour in the natural camo and soon I had CIH. I completed signing the log and replaced as I found it, making my way back out. This is a lovely secluded location and I am so happy to have caught sunlight for this find. TFTC!
Nice cache! Geokids spotted it quickly and laughed at Geomum who couldn't see it at all. Don't you just love Cobbitty?
Find # 5487
Found with sesblocker. Another day of caching, using Bent's Basin as our base of caching operations.a
That was a nice quick park and grab.

Beautiful afternoon for a find with my geokid after school pick up. Take care, there is a bit of broken glass around. A beautiful quiet lane though. Thanks for the cache. We forgot to take a pen, but took a photo to prove we found it!
Today I teamed up again with marj01 for another day of caching, this time around the Narellan/Camden/Cobbity areas. We had a very enjoyable and adventurous day visiting the cache locations, finding a heap of hides but also a few DNF's along the way.
A quick find. TFTC.

Sick of staying indoors watching the rain, I grabbed the muggle family and went for a drive. Grabbed a few roadside/close grab caches along the way when the rain permitted!

Streak Day #2041 - Out with Dave8153 this evening to grab our cache for the day and was a quick find. TFTC
TFTC too hot to go too far off the road today so caches like this one were perfect.
Found with nissan 65 after a overnight caching trip from the south coast. Thanku for the cache .
The find and sign of this one took less time than waiting for the muggle farmer to get out of sight.

Quick find. I left the cache with more covering, not so much for hiding it, as for protection from the sun. TFTC Booo Booo.
Heading to the central coast via the blue mountains for the weekend, I stopped here along the way to make a night find,Found with geodog.
Thankyou Booo Booo for the cache

#4044 (1 of 14 today)
Decided on a big day caching around Cobbity / Camden. Unlike a number of days recently, was out well before lunchtime.
A surprising number of micros given the number of rural settings for the hides I found today. Found everything I went for - a good day. That said I went past one and decided not to try the creek crossing - not confident of my balance (should return with the gum boots...)
And of course, back near home there was publishing...
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Started here - parked *The Hademobile* opposite GZ.
Nice quick find to start. The iPhone was pointing slightly away from the logical spot - decided to go with my instincts and checked the logical spot first - CIH!
Completed signing duties and replaced.

After visiting near by cobbity markets stopped to grab. 2nd experience with those stupid farmers friends
Spotted on approach but had to figure out a less spikey access route to actually grab it. Small geotrail a bit further along helped.
Had a great morning caching in Narellan/Camden and surrounds. Quit a few DNF, but I am getting used to that. Most caches were very well accesable and in good condition, thanks to all the owners for placing them!

TFTC #205. a quick find this morning after finding a nearby mystery. The Cobbitty markets were on but we had no cash $$ - so straight home after just a few finds this morning. Thanks Booo Booo for placing this one
On a Bents Basin camp ...
Relying on the GeoReindeer Garmin to make the way from Bents Basin there was some doubt as to where the 'mushroom would end up at - but spot on the navigation proved to be (now only if such talent could be harnessed to unearth each cache!). A bit of a seek. ignoring the bleeding obvious, till there was but the bleeding obvious left. Oh, there it is ... found all in good condition. Thanks for the cache, Booo Booo

Father's Day is caching day, yay.
A few hours out of the house on a beautiful spring afternoon with the twenty something son who thinks caching is a bit daggy.

Out with AWTYOW, geogangstas and Dwight Shrute for some school holiday caching. TFTC!
After a quick sweep of GZ, Gab__Star declared nothing was there. A second check by Dwight Shrute and the Geo-gangsta proved her wrong! TFTC
TFTC Thank you for going to the effort of hiding this cache. You have shown us a new place and have helped make geocaching an enjoyable activity.
Lovely tranquil little spot in Cobbity. Lots of horse paddocks nearby with some very grand looking horses. Cache was a quick find. Saw some kangaroos in the field nearby which is always exciting. Thanks for the cache and for bringing us to this lovely lane. Just up the road is a persimmon farm that sells to the public. Always great to get the bigger astringent variety which you can't get in the shop
Whilst geomum was in mozzy damage control, geodad made the find just before the rain started. The mozzies had attacked at 'Volunteer Rural Fire brigade' up the road. Highlight of this cache was the quaint movie like laneway drive. Tftc Booo Booo xo
Nice easy find. Me and MissBex were at Cobbitty markets and thought we would get a cache nearby. A nice drive down the lane and had it within minute or so
Geo-adventure with Stevo! GeoJ kissed a blue Tongue!
And the new MacArthur Wasps football ground coming along nicely!

Decided that a little mini road trip was in order to celebrate the 6 Geocaching Road Trip souveners
earned in the last few months, 3:30am start rumbled down the The Thin Black Line doing the Tradie shuffle. Head south towards Camden, The Oaks, Tarmoor and Picton. TFTC

what a nice hide, lots of beer bottles hidden in there. Mozzies galore. Picked up trackable. TFTC
Pulled up and a man came out of his gate to put his bins out, waiting for him to open, shut the gate get bins off back off truck, open gate shut gate ect... didn't want to use the toilet excuse as that had been used by a previous cacher, finally he went and cache was located very quickly. Dropped trackable off
Wish I had some CITO bags for this one, and a bottle bank nearby. Lovely spot otherwise.
TFTC! A man came by in a truck and asked us what we were doing. We didn't want to say we were caching, so Dad told him I needed to go to the bathroom and wanted privacy.
We came to Cobbitty to have a look at Roseneath - a horse stud I spent quite a lot of time at as a child. This was fun to find, as a local came out of his property and waited for us to come out of the bush. I explained that my daughter needed to go to the bathroom and wanted a lot of privacy.
Forgot to take phone from car so guessed at today's date, got it wrong and wrote 14th. Anyway, nice little spot here, slightly tricky approach to GZ but easy find once there. I admire the work you've put into this big series. TFTC!
Definately tell kids hid this is one. How nice it would be to be 3 feet shorter. TFTC.
