Was at the nearby Galston meetup, and decided to get this one very quickly sorted, because what the hey, why not?Found crazy quickly, signed and returned. Found with Foreignnebula. Thanks for the cache!
Nice sunny Sunday over in northern suburbs of Sydney. Came here for Geocaching NSW social event. An extremely short stroll to find this large cache. One of several today with Graubunden. TFTC Calypso62
I arrived a little early for the nearby event so wandered over this way beforehand to find this cache. Nice to find a decently sized container occasionally. If only I had a trackable with me today to leave behind. Thanks for find #6252TNLN
The cache has been dried out and a new log added. The cache has now been returned to GZ.
Night/sunset find by myself waiting at the twins soccer practice. Biggest one I’ve found. Pretty easy. Green pen ️
I came out for the puzzle night and was running early so I used the opportunity to grab some nearby caches. Great spot here! TFTC calypso62
Found It!
A quick find here before tonight's event. Whoever was here last left the lid off the cache.

Found this GC with ease on the third attempt! Can't believe I missed it before. I took a big stick to beat myself up with if I didn't find it again. Stick came in handy and I went home happy. Thanks Calypso62.
was going for a feel and look and quickly noticed a spider which freaked me out a little haha

Didn't know this spot existed! I used to deliver pizzas up and down here as my first job back when Castle Hill dominos was the only dominos in the area.
Nice hide, great cache.
TFTC C64!

Great hiding spot and a treasure trove of swappables. Would be pretty obvious you were up to something if there were Muggles about. Visited on a Sunday afternoon when the park was empty.
Now that the NSW Government is beginning to ease lockdown restrictions, it’s time to bring my caches back into play.
Just a reminder, a fundamental rule of geocaching is that, in order to be able to log a cache find online, you must retrieve the cache container and sign the physical log located in that container. Failure to comply may result in your online log being removed.
I know the Covid virus is still about so please take precautions to keep yourself and those around you from harm by doing things such as wearing gloves to handle geocaches as well as using hand sanitiser regularly.
Keep safe everyone and enjoy your geocaching activities.
Cheers,

The Covid situation in Greater Sydney is still critical. As a result, this cache remains disabled for the time being. I'm monitoring the situation and will bring the cache back online when appropriate to do so.
To help stop the spread of Covid-19, the NSW Government has ordered everybody to stay at home unless you are: shopping for essentials, receiving medical care, exercising or travelling to work or education.
While some people would regard going geocaching as a form of exercise, it is my personal opinion that this activity is a non-essential one, perhaps involving unnecessary travel and therefore should not be undertaken during this time of crisis.
Who knows how long this current lockdown will last! Right now, every one of us has an important part to play in helping to keep our families, friends and the wider community safe in the fight against the spread of Covid-19, by staying home.
As a result of the health authority’s directive, I have decided to disable this cache and respectfully request that no person seek out and claim a find whilst this cache is disabled.
Thank you for your cooperation. I look forward to bringing my caches back into play as soon as the health crisis abates.

Ran out of daylight while in Galston last night for a puzzle solving event so returned on my way home today to finish off an AdvLab and grab a few traditionals to justify the drive. Could have been more but my garmin gps completely died yesterday and I had to rely on phone caching (yuk). Luckily instinct and experience kicked in when the car’s satnav had me parked less than 5m from a potential GZ with good clue and a sizeable container.
Sunday funday geocaching adventure with BarberBlackSheep and what a day is has been! After starting in the hills and heading over to some tracks out at Hornsby, which was a terrible idea given the leeches just loved my legs for some reason
I didn’t want to end my geocaching day on a bad note so made a couple of finds on the way back to redeem the day. Quick stop and find, love bigger caches over micros!
Thank you Calypso62 for placing this cache!

OCW frazeydaze on wet Sunday. Oh the things I do for her. After another lunch at the Glenorie Bakery we headed over here for a quick find during a break in the rain.

Out in search of Wise Guys today and thought we’d make some side stops along the way. What do you know? We stopped here to get acquainted with Harry and ran into a Calypso62 cache - the everywhere man! Unfortunately we’re here on a Saturday so the Museum will be added to a long list of interesting places for a return visit. SL TFTC Cheers... Gaztek
After spending an hour on not finding another one we needed this easy to get inspiration back. Thanx
Great day of caching in and around Galston, chasing the wonders of the world!

As the NSW Government is now beginning the process of easing some of the Covid-19 restrictions, it is appropriate that my geocaches be brought back into play.
**Please Remember - It is still very important to exercise social distancing while you are out and about and to practise good hand hygiene after touching caches out in the geo-wild.
