I’m not sure how many times I’ve tried this cache, but until recently I never felt I’d looked hard enough. After an attempt this week I finally decided it was enough and got a clear clue from the CO. Armed with the clue I returned and had a good scrounge but found nothing. I suspect this needs a check and maybe some maintenance.

Nice little find on my way home from work. Thanks The Booos for a good cache. TFTC
This is a pretty grubby patch right next to main road. Not at all tempting to look amongst the rubbish
I was out and about with Happy Uke again today. We had invested in a small infalatable boat and we were up Campbelltown way to pick up some extra kit.
While we were in the area we decided to catch ourselves some caches.
Thanks!

Finalf29 and I were in Campbelltown to pick up some kayak paddles, so of course a mini geocaching raid was organised. Got a little hot, but we still got ten from ten.
This was our last for the arvo. We scrabbled around GZ looking high and low... all the time feeling very exposed to the traffic. Finally I found the sneaky bugger... or was it... obvious once you find it. Great history. Thanks

Third time lucky… what a difference daylight makes! Nemesis hide finally ticked off with bonus unfound time towards another challenge.
May still be here, but no finds in 6 months and I spotted nothing. Cache check would be nice.
Decided on a bit of caching down south after delivering the Geowife to the railway station for her Girls' weekend away.
A few annoying DNFs got in the way, particularly late in the day, and as I was floundering around at one location got a phone call re a card night at a friend's place - well no wife to answer to - I'm in. The kids can fend for themselves! Just means I have to head home earlier.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Well since I was going past, I decided to try one more before hitting the highway.
I'm assuming this cache is similar to another nearby from this CO that I've found.
Didn't find it and it's no longer a good spot for a cache. I felt very exposed, and... just not a good spot. Then I saw no finds for a while.
I suspect it's missing. Not the end to the day I'd hoped for.

I started my caching day with Mayfields and finished with Kenny Hill...with 33 caches, 2 trigs and an Engineering Marker in between, (with about 6 DNFs). A great day of caching indeed. TFTC
I have long thought the train trip between Campbelltown and Camden would have been exciting up this hill. I have cycled it quite a few times. TFTC
Found previously with aWTYOW, came back with geogangstas to sign my own name. TFTC
AWTYOW stopped here for me and Gabstar to find one more on our way home. We thought it was lost due to the massive amount of clearing that has happened at GZ but AWTYOW stumbled across it by accident quite a distance from where she told us it should be. We replaced as best as we could but this one may need a new home soon. TFTC.
I brought my fellow cachers here only to find the GZ has been completely cleared of trees and bushes in line with the widening of Narellan Rd. The hiding spot is now extremely exposed to the main road traffic and although the cache is in tact, it's clearly getting moved around GZ. It might be worth moving this one to a new hidey-hole to preserve it or it's likely to be lost soon.
Stopped home on the way home from boys first cricket match in Camden. Was looking for a xs size then stumbled across it.
Quick find after dropping the geologists of at MACC. Larger than I expected. TFTC.
Been here twice before with no luck, but this time bingo, straight away. Thanks
I found the co-ordinates were sending me a bit off but that could be due to a new phone?? Anyway after a good 10-15mins of hunting I eventually managed to get the smiley face!! Found after a good day in the botanical gardens. TFTC
This was the second cache I tried on my first ever night of caching. I was unsuccessful then, and I have since visited in the dark to no avail.
Today however, with the sun to aid me, I found the cache almost immediately. How I missed it with the torch has me puzzled, but I'm glad to now have this one smiling at me on the map.

Luck was not on our side on this quick stop off. I had a quick look but did not see anything. No time for a long look.
Day 444 of nonstop caching.

An easy find on the way to Mount Annan Botanical Gardens.
I thought it was in an area that was very protected from prying passing muggle eyes.
What a shame there isn't a station here now!

With the temps hitting the lowest it's going to hit this morning and only a few spare minutes I was hoping to bag one last find before going to work. Maybe being up so late could affect my work today... But when u have caching on the brain works going to be affected anyway... Slight exaggeration... But soon we had the cache back in place and I was off heading for Sydney and the M5... A smile on my face and a smiley next to this cache TFTC

Was across the road learning about green cleaning & worm farming, & during a break came & had search for this one.
Looked in the most obvious spot & to my disappointment, doh, not there.
Then spent a fair while looking round, alas, nothing

Found this one today at 1500 on my Sunday trip from the Blue Mountains to Canberra.
Pulled in off the road, turned around and parked in front of the first house outside of the no stopping zone. Found the cache and completed the signing duties on the nearby retaining wall before returning the cache to its position. As I returned to my car, I was approached by a dark skinned man. He eventually identified himself as the caretaker of the school and said that I wasn't meant to be here or park there. I told him that there were no signs saying I couldn't be there, or that it was private property so there was no reason I couldn't be there. He told me he'd been telling other people to leave recently as well. I don't believe he saw me retrieve or hide the cache and was more concerned about what I was looking at near the retaining wall.
