After completing the AL in Nurrugingy Reserve, I drove over to another part of the parklands for some more caches.

I am never keen on tall grass in summer as it may hide some scary creatures. But if there is a cache to be found....

TFTC!

Western Sydney Parklands is a lovely area to walk through. Its great to see this long stretch of reminant bushland being maintained in its original state and that sealed pathways have been provided for walking and to protect the flora. I actually know the person responsible for joining up all the pieces and making it one continuous stretch of bushland through western Sydney. He is still working on weed removal and revegetating the area with original native species.

As we walked along the path we read the cache information and approaching saw something which seemed to match the hint but as I turned around I noticed something better and checking the GPS it was closer to the co-ordinates. The cache was quickly found there.

The log is dry and signable but the container has no lid and doesn't fit very well where it was found. Is that the original hide?

Some good and succesfull caching in the Parklands and Quakers Hill area. Had solved a lot of puzzles in preparation and also prepared myself for a lot of bike riding. Just had not counted on the weather not playing. Although mostly cloudy and only a few drops here and there, it was the heavens opening up about half way through the day, only 400 meters from the car but enough to get soaking wet!!

25-Jun-19
My third cache of the day.
After grabbing All Hallows Eve i doubled back to grab this one before heading back to the car.
The clue was a good one and made sense at the GZ. It didnt take too long to find the cache.
Unfortunately the lid has come off the cache and water has leaked in. The log was wet but because it was the write-in-the-rain type of paper i could still sign it.
Thanks.

This was my third find today after a meeting earlier this morning at Wetherill Park. Cache was quite exposed when I approached and could easily be picked up during the next rubbish clean up. After signing, I rehid with some natural camouflage on top. Much obliged for the placement.

Большое спасибо! תודה! L’chaim! TFTC!

This one was pretty hard to find but saw it in the end after figuring out what the hint was Co-ords a few meters out but that doesn’t change a thing

**Total find count: 553**

A short Sunday afternoon in the western suburbs of Sydney, with a handful of reasonably quick finds before heading home for a relaxing Sunday evening?

------
After the last find, a short walk to this GZ, with the warm weather, I was wary of slithering snakes, athough none were spotted (doesn't mean they aren't there though). The GPS had me located at a particular tree but nothing stuck out.

I regathered my thoughts and widened the search, but nothing stuck out at me. Read through some more logs and with re-adjusted geosenses, they cache appeared before me. This cache definitely needs a new container, the new log has already started getting soggy.

good walk

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

We came down to Bungarribee Park to do a reccy of the facilities prior to my DIL’s baby shower. We decided to make an afternoon of it and did a large loop of the surrounding parkland tracks.
The GPS had me quite a distance from the guardians. The clue lead to the right place. The cache was a soggy mess though as the container has been compromised.
