Pirate Stuff! Camden Park, New South Wales, Australia
By RideTheGeoWalrus on 15-Dec-12. Waypoint GC42WR2

Nephew has confirmed this one isn't there anymore, and it's had a good run. Time to free up this spot for someone else.

Looks like this one is MIA, not a good start to our GeoSession

One that I saved as a Draft and forgot to log TFTC

Visiting from Melbourne and hoped to find this cache close to our friends house. Had a good look but no sign of it.

Another DNF... sad face.

Looked for ages! Couldn’t find it

I couldn't find it, and wasn't keen to go underneath during summer and snake season!

Found after a decent amount of searching.

Not magnetic but the hint still works

Had to work on my limbo skills, but managed to find it. Lovely park area for a quiet afternoon walk. TFTC!

Found it

Another DNF

No luck. Three of us looking under and nothing found.

Aaarrrgh....DNF for me today me hearties! OCW MaxAdventurer and Brewmaker.

Searched all around GZ, but to no avail.

Watch for the Blue tounges

Fun find with my 2 young sons. Nice spot. TFTC

Found whilst out and about on a weekend trip with other Canberra cachers. It was great fun to walk around here and find so many different cache types. TFTC.

#6880 For the second weekend in a row, a geo-road trip ! This time to Sydney to attend a special Community Event on Cockatoo Island joined in the car by Kittykatch & Cosmonaut97. There were a number of other notable Canberra geocachers heading up and staying at our hotel, so it was a merry weekend of eating, drinking and caching. But before we got there we dropped in to Picton to run the local parkrun at 8am, grab breakky and a few local caches too. An earlier attempt at the local Adventure Lab failed for me due to intolerable traffic, but no such issues today. So after grabbing these we headed on to Camden. I was pleasantly surprised by Camden with it mix of lovely parks and heritage features. So then on to our hotel in Sydney. While I grew up in Sydney, I've never been to Cockatoo Island before, so I was quite keen to attend the event there. It was good to see an Adventure Lab there too. After the event, we headed back into town after a very pleasant ferry ride back to Circular Quay. Another event down at Homebush Bay topped off the weekend.

Tricky to locate.

Thanks RideTheGeoWalrus

Took us a while with lots of clambering around and then found it on the ground. Put it back to natch hints but not magnetic

Taking a road trip to Sydney to attend some events this weekend. Found with Strangetrousers and cosmonaut97.

Thanks for hiding this cache RideTheGeoWalrus

I was with a group of 3 other people and found it. Th e log book was full but we still managed to sign it.

This cache was hard to find. It is very nicely hidden and fun to search for.

Nice little cache. I always enjoy something that requires a little 'searching'. Mirb_Girl came up with the goods on this one. Looks like it's been demagnetised though as it was laying on the ground. Replaced it in a suitably magnetic position. Log book is completely full. TFTC

Log book full, needs replacing

Found with Dad today. TFTC

Great little spot .

Oops, forgot to log this one. Found a week ago with tancan20 and our geodog. This is a great spot for a cache. The area is beautiful to bring a family, some amazing playgrounds and bbqs. It’s also just by a lake and has some great walking paths. Recommended this one to a few of my geofriends with kiddies! TFTC

Had to get my knees dirty for this one! Found with EmilyCamden and my geodog. Lots of mozzies! TFTC.

Needs a log replacement as it is full but otherwise the cache is in good condition.

We saw baby swans and koi fish. Geokid 2 played at the park while Geokid 1 got the cache in dirty hands.

Took us a while, really is below wow

A bid day of caching in and around Camden and Campbelltown. Had lots of puzzles solved, some a long time ago. The weather was great for an early start so I could finish when it got to warm. Today it was there!

Came down to this one some time ago but was flushed away by a swarm of kids! Although it says magnetic it is no longer magnetic , but in good condition.

couldn’t find it. we might just be blind but

On another nightly geoventure tonight with Mizcupcake. We have made it to Camden to get a couple of caches and enjoying the drive. Making our way here to Pirate Stuff! We parked The geomobile on a street not too far. Walking up a path towards gz, we just made out a torch and stopped. Deciding to sit down on a chair and wait a little for them to leave, we think we may have just missed some other cachers! After some time we made our way over and started our search. Coming up empty handed at first we check some logs and one gave us a clue. Searching a new area we had CIH quickly. Unfortunately *log is full* and needs maintenance. Photo as proof of find. TFTC!

Out on another night adventure with Littl3Vix, we have decided to hit up the Menangle Camden South area tonight and this was our third stop. I've been looking forward to finding this cache, I love Pirates! As mentioned in my note below, I think we muggled some other cachers as we were arriving at GZ (I'm not very quiet...). We saw a torch flashing around GZ that quickly went out, so we decided to sit down at the nearby bench and read logs while waiting for them to ninja out. After what felt like an appropriate amount of time, we wandered over and started our search. I thought I may have an idea of where this may be from a different find in the city, so I focused my efforts in the wrong place. We were about to walk away, when a clue dropped from a previous log and we renewed our search which was quickly rewarded when Littl3Vix spotted it. The log was full, the picture is on her log. Thanks for this cheeky adventure! An FP, for the pirates and the adventure

Currently near GZ with Littl3Vix and I think we have muggled some cachers

This geocacher reported that the logbook is full.

R+M

My small daughter found this! Being short was an advantage!!

Did not find!

We weren’t to sure if it was in the water or out, we kept looking around catching onto some small details in the area around us. The closest we got was 1 metre but we gave after. Few hours.

We couldn’t find this one

Could not find will try again soon

Had a really good look, no luck yet...

any hints?

Could not find it...

Grabbed this one with geofam. For the palindrome day souvenir. Bad timing as the rains decided to come down. Nice hide. TFTC.

FINALLY! Got back here today with the geofam for the Palindrome souvenir. Found with Gundrills, KnightJR & Panda_Girl65 (signed G, K, M & P). Thanks for placing this one here. TFTC

Very clever!

Found with the geofam, just didn’t have anything to get the log out. We shall come back another day

Easy found

Once you see it you cannot miss The difference

Cool

Found it

Took us 3 goes but great find for us new cachers

Took us a while but process of elimination and a bit of investigative skills looking through prior posts we had the cache in hand

Lots of spiders. Looked for it three times still no find.

really easy find, found it in 30sec!

found it with waterfall2890 and katiebear04

Found it with caprice15 and katiebear04 such a easy find! we found it in 10 seconds legitimately

Found with waterfall2890 and caprice15

Any more clues?

Too tricky for us!

Cute cache. 2 beautiful swans nearby. Tftc.

Found with bCrammond first for the new cache. Yay. Tftc

Thanks for the container. It is a great little park. TFTC

New cache in place waiting to be found.

Have acquired new cache, will be replacing on the weekend of the 15-16th Dec.

No luck here today

I have asked my family who live across the road to check on this cache. I will also be in Sydney in Dec and will take a replacement should it be need replacing.

Could not locate

Could not find

???????

Looked for 30 minutes did not find had 6 people looking

lots of muggles

Out with BF7 picking up more caches around this area and surrounds.
Thanks to the COs for the hides that we found and the fun that was had.

This took some seaching,we ended up finding it in a spot that doesnt match the hint.
Today I teamed up again with 154crows for another epic day of caching this time around the Picton/Camden area,we had a very enjoyable and adventurous day visiting the cache locations, finding a heap of hides but also a few DNFs along the way but we finished up a great day out finding more then expected so that was a bonus and left with plenty of funny and some odd caching stories to talk about.
TFTC

Very tricky. Hands and knees and everything. Nothing. Disappointing.

Found with nissan 65 on a wet trip up from south coast Thanku for the cache .

Found with cullum68 on a miserable day away thanks for the cache

Out for the day caching with Oldmorty, down and around Picton. A great day was had.
Got down and dirty
Thanks for the cache

Another early start for a days caching with caching buddy marj01. The plan was to pick up where we left off last week and visit the towns of Camden South, Razorback, Thirlmere and Couridjah. Lots of caches were found quite quickly while some others took a little longer and a few we didn't find at all. Once again there were a few ingenous caches amongst the usual film canisters, mint tins and sistemas of varying shapes and sizes. Thank you to all the CO's for hiding and maintaining the caches visited today.

Found

Good find with the geodaughters

Looked and looked no luck.

DNF 4 of 5 today

Decided to hit the Camden area today as I was after a few calendar day finds.

Well... Probably one of my least favourite caching days... While I made ten relatively quick finds (including two reboots of prior finds and a previous DNF) I also failed to find six (one only being a drive by thanks to muggle city, but the other five taking far too long)!
And one of my finds was of a cache trashed by muggles... Very sad.

Still, it is a beautiful area to cache in, so not all bad I suppose, but I was more than ready to head home when I did.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Fourth DNF in five attempts. Really not enjoying this!

Had a good idea what I was looking for, but couldn't find it either above or below the deck. Hmmm. I suspect my run of DNFs was affecting my dedication to a methodical search.
Even so after 30 frustrating minutes a mother and child arrived at the play equipment. That's my cue to give it up.
Again!

What a great little park. That's why I love caching with kids find some great locations for them to play. Took longer to find than it should have for my fear of spiders and bugs.
. Just changed geocache user name logged as CLAN of 6

Nicely hidden. Took time. Thanks for placing. Tftc

Finalf29 and I had such an enjoyable time yesterday, we decided to come back and raid Camden some more today. We did a lot more walking and had two DNF's, but still came up with fifteen for the arvo.

This was our fourth for the day. I thought this might take us a while, but I found it pretty quickly... OK I had wet muddy knees for the rest of the arvo, but that is a small price to pay for finding a cache. Thanks for bringing us to this beautiful park.

Out and about with Happy Uke again today. We were out to help clear the world of some nogood dirty caches that had worn out their welcome.

We had not been caching for a while so we decided to head out towards Picton and Camden.

I thought this one was going to give us a bit of bother but Happy Uke came up trumps. A nice spot!

Thanks.

Lengthy search and finally a result.

Find #3 with Bustaraff
I've searched for this one more times than I care to mention... With each time ending in frustration. It had been quite some time since my last search and I thought the additional set of eyes from Team Bustaraff might be handy. We searched high and low for an agonisingly long time and I began to feel that familiar sense of frustration creep up as I faced the prospect that Pirate Stuff might elude me once more. But wait... "Bingo!!" I shouted as I spotted it. It was the type of container I was expecting but not quite where I expected it to be and not being used in the way I was expecting... Tftc, we got there in the end!

14373. Found during a day run around the Hill Top / Tahmoor / Picton area with minniek.

Headed up the Hume for another caching adventure in this area - still plenty of caches to collect ! Next one for the day. Parked nearby and wandered in. Thankfully this one didn't take much time before minniek made the find. Signed the log, replaced the cache, and it was off to the next one.

Thanks to all the COs for putting out these caches.

TNLN - TFTC !!

Headed up to Picton/Camden area with fitzy_1965 today. We found so many micro's today! Those fiddly little things certainly took a bit of time to log, roll back up and re-hide!!

Walked the plank, spotted some parrots, got wet, made the find. TFTC. Log is full.

Couldn't find this one today due to GZ being closed! will come back soon!

Considering the rain we’ve had in recent weeks, was lucky I didn’t get my feet wet or sink into mud grabbing this one that was easily spotted at the right angle. Don’t see too many examples of this camo but works well here.

#2115

Out at Camden for a family lunch to celebrate my step daughters 21st. Now to do some caching on the way home.

After a couple of muggles move away I started to search.. a few hints and CIH.

Didn't think I would find a cache from an Adelaide Cacher out here.!!!

TFTC

Took a bit...seen a few of these on our Aus geo travels...tftc....

Pirate stuff took some time to find, but a big smile on finding it. TFTC

Nice park, we stopped for lunch, AFTER finding the cache of course!!! One must always have their priorities right!!! took a little while, TFTC
