My son and I searched area, pretty sure we're in the right spot but being our first search, we couldn't find it!! Any help would be great thx!!!
Found the spot and had a good look around especially near the something solid as per clue. Couldn't find
Tenth geocache find!
Quick, easy find for the afternoon, finishing off a hard week of geocaching.
The cache was well-hidden, but not too difficult. TFTC

Last cache for the day and last for a seven day streak to cross some days off the calendar. Understood first part of the clue as I pulled up then had to expand the search area till the next part was spotted. 136 caches later, it was now time to head home and make a start on writing up the logs. Always the worst part of returning from an extended caching roadtrip.
On my way to work and stopped to pick this one up. No muggles or sight seekers. Quick find and on my way to work. TFTC
On my way to pick up GeoDirk from his sleepover party, an hour too early. What's better to do than find some caches on the way?
A strange scary backroad, close to the water offload. And a boat! TFTC.

Found after working just a bit further upstream. A truck pulled up near GZ just as I arrived and promptly backed over a few of the timber posts. I grabbed the cache whilst the driver was surveying the damage and then was on my way. Shame about all the rubbish in this area. Many thanks baggey
Found with morry9 during a day out in an effort to help me get closer to reaching my milestone goal of 2,000 finds at the last ever Geocaching Block Party in Seattle this August. We started over at Lidcombe with Harry's End and then travelled to Homebush West for Bushes and Fields - Henley Reserve. In Homebush we did Bushes and Fields - Slater Reserve and Bushes and Fields - Airey Park. Over to Strathfield we collected Bushes and Fields - Kessell Square, Bushes and Fields - Boden Reserve, Yarn Bombing Rocks, Bushes and Fields - Davey Square Reserve, Grevilleas DO NOT rock, Heydes Hundred (a challenge cache), Bushes and Fields - Todman Reserve (Barker Road), Bushes and Fields - Strathfield Park and Palmer Avenue Troll @ Strathfield.
Next we made our way over to Potts Hill and found dishlicker series No 3 (potts pak), before heading towards Yagoona for Park and Grab #1 O'Neill Park and Park and Grab #7 Gazzard Park. In Bankstown we grabbed Park and Grab #8 McLeod Reserve, Park and Grab #5 Apex Reserve and Ruse park. We then picked up Just Keep Walking #3 and Just Keep Walking #2 in Narwee, before finishing off in Beverly Hills with Just Keep Walking #1, Unguarded Moment, King Georges road troll Roselands and King George's road M5 linear park.
All in all, a fun day out with morry9 and for all of the caches, I Signed Log and Took Nothing Left Nothing. A successful day out in terms of find rate! Thanks For The Caches to all of the respective Cache Owners.

Hey! Found with me and 4 others. Left a toy car. Wondering what flavour the tin of tuna is and how longs it been there! Was replaced where it was found.
On the way back from a day of caching. This one was close to the track home so did a diversion. Great little park with a model railway located here. I'd love to see it in operation. Crossed the bridge and looked around with the hint in mind. The geo wife soon spotted it. No muggles on this side as it was late Sunday. TFTC baggey.
#3049- A nice simple find exactly where the CO said it had been moved to.Even though it is a work day, it was pretty quiet here today. Thanks
Wasn't under leaves! Lol we were second time lucky after getting home we decided to go back and have another look! First geocash found with cousin! We used to play in ruse park as kids because I lived in one of units in front of the park!
7/3/15. 12:24 PM. Cache #2301. Streak day #258. The 3rd of 7 for the afternoon, all around the Bankstown area. After finding the newest 2 in the "Park and Grab" series (#7 & #8), I changed my filter to older caches in the area, and ended up here. The area was deserted, as it's Saturday, so no likelihood of being watched here. Tried a couple of fence tops, but these were firmly attached. So I cast my attention elsewhere for an easy find. Next stop was "Salt Pan Creek Cycleway Scenic Stroll". TFTC }:)
Found by Snoopy, street was very busy with some club type of action going on.
Mine is the next one Mel.
Mine is the next one Mel.
Out on a Friday night jaunt with snoopy and contactpete, this was the first find for the night and snoopy was the one that came up with the goods. SL #1792 on streak day #960 TFTC
Finished work early so I decided to walk over to the nearest cache to where I was staying. Cache was an easy find. Thanks for the walk and the cache of course.
Don't know what was worse, not finding it or feeling as if you're being watched while finding it
Took me longer than it should have with my phone gps taking me across the road then goofy me dropped the cache contents everywhere when performing the signing duties.
Thanks for the afternoon cache.

Found this one while chatting to the CO! Very cool & great to meet you. TNLNSL / TFTC
I cannot express my happiness! The owner of the cache was there himself! Wondering around aimlessly, I was just about to give up until I heard a knock on a window from the nearby building. There I see a man continuously pointing. I thought I was in trouble and that he was telling me off because the area is under surveillance. Not until he finally opened the window and told me where to look. I was dumbfounded. Then he said: "Did you find what you were looking for?" I was so delighted! "I'm the owner". I smiled back and gave him a wave. :') I wanted to head in the warehouse to thank him further, but decided not to disturb him. Thanks Baggey!
On our way home from the event in Como Pleasure Park, we stopped for some random caches. This one was well hidden, but we found it after having looked just in a few other nearby places.
This was our last cache for the night
Pk is happy that he made it his best month!

Last it the last for the night with ADI. Had my best day this month and now the best month so far. TFTC
Was a bit worried it might be gone with the recent gardening and fence works but nope Geomum found it.
After much hunting I found a bad with golf balls and 2 video cases across road from gps under some leafs.
Not sure if this was it but I decided to leave paper and mark in this. Lol it will do for today

#633 (Streak day 151)
After an evening (turning into night well and truly) of fun with friends, started making my way home. Hmmm, if I dawdle a little I can get a cache after midnight and I'll have my Monday cache early.
After filling the car with (still cheap) petrol nearby, I arrived at GZ about 12:10am - there were muggles outside a premises up the street sitting and chatting! What? Luckily they had no sight of GZ unless they moved.
Now there are a few reasons I don't do lot of caching at night. The main two are:
1. I don't have a good torch so I can't effectively search in the pitch dark
2. I'm crap searching in the dark anyway.
Both were in evidence as a 1 Difficulty cache took me a good 25 minutes to find. Stumbled around on both sides of the fence for quite a while. Even took me over 20 minutes to spot something hint-worthy. Once I had that though it only took another 5 minutes and the cache was grabbed.
While completing signing duties in my car the muggles left - saw the glow of their brake lights as they went, and they weren't there after I replaced the cache and drove off.
Well, at least I'll be home at 1am!

Mr Ozjeeper was nearby on a visit today and took tohe opportunity to grab some caches. This first one was a quick, easy find and it was good to see a larger continer - thanks baggy for placing it.
I made a quick find here today while working nearby. Shame about the illegal rubbish dumping someone should check the cameras. TNLN thanks.
Looked 3 days in row but looks like a fresh load of mulch been put down. Will keep looking though
Nice quick park and grab during lunch break in the area. Nice and cool under the trees today as I waited for yhe guy in the factory opposite to look the other way before replacing. TFTC
Love the hint, so I just had to go and see where this cache was. The signs were great, made me laugh, but there were no muggles to see me. Oh well, it is Sunday. Found cache within short time. I signs the log, with a smile! Thanks.
After some digging around I found it. Over looked it at first but eventually realised that's what I was looking for
Weren't too sure if the cache was still around since it looks like the council been around, lucky a recent log said they found it, made keep us looking for it. Good find, don't have to jump a fence
Prophetic words in the hint!!!! Totally busted by the locals / cache guards. Lovely bunch they are. Thanks for bringing me off the main road to stretch my legs on the drive home.
Another good find with TuisReturn
We enjoyed touring around the area finding caches

Found while on a big geo trip away with tmann421.
Sorry for the late & repeat logs as just catching up now.
A great time had, some wonderful places seen, thanks to all the NSW geo cachers.

Hopefully the council will not find cache had to move it 3 meters west off GZ but still an easy find.
There is no cover to hide in any more so stealth is needed.

Cache had been muggle a bit only scattered on the ground if it wasn't for the local cancil Doing a clean up of the bush and me wondering if the cache is all right I wouldnt have known till the next find.
So I had to disable the cache for the week end.

Found this one by torchlight.
It was tricky weaving around the spiders making new webs.

Found late on Sunday evening. A quick find, but there was a bit of rubbish around. TFTC
It was World Geocaching day and nothing found yet; katsumar, Diavolocacher, Geogirl and I had been running around all day and were on the way home. Last chance look at the map. What's this, a 1, 1 1/2 cache in a park nearby. Description says it's a drive-by. Perfect.
Arrived, parked. Katsumar wanted the clue right away since it was dark (and a bit spooky at this point)
Bam, straight there and found with the light of the Smartphone. Off home with little delay.
Sometimes you need a big challenger and sometimes you need a quick grab. Thanks, Baggey!

It was a kind of hard of hard find because it was in the dark. I tripped a few times. Found with Katsumar and Nicksmyname.
