The Camden Line - Currans Hill Platform Smeaton Grange, New South Wales, Australia
By The Booos on 07-Feb-13. Waypoint GC45HX0

No luck, poked around in the pine needles for ages but didnt see anything.

Quick push and grab.

A quick find once a GZ. TFTC.

The sugar ants kept us busy. We added a new logsheet in a plastic bag to the cache.TFTC The Booos 17 February 2024 16:49

My fourth attempt at this cache, and still a DNF! I think that makes this the hardest cache I've ever tried to find, despite its 1.5 rating. I even brought the geo-sister one timeI was close by today, and thought I'd check if there were any recent logs, and was delighted to see the last entry was owner maintenance. And even better, this cache now has a hint available?! I feel vindicated that I was on the right track in my previous visits, as the hint confirms I had been looking in the right place from the beginning. Surely, armed with this knowledge, I'll definitely find it this time.Nope. I pulled out my footstool for extra height, used a few sticks to poke through the ground cover, and checked all along the row in both directions. I found someone's lost keys, a chocolate milk bottle buried deep and now so brittle it just broke into shards when touched, and a snap lock bag that I initially feared was the remains of the cache, but it wasn't.I spent 20 minutes searching before the showers returned and drove me back to the car. Sigh.Next time, nemesis cache!! *shakes fist*

cache was buried deep under pine needles replaced damp log with new one all good

Got hot and bothered looking for it. Perhaps next time we will attempt it. Tftc.

Tried to find this a few years ago when I was brand new to caching, and when standing in the obvious spot the GPS still said a few metres ahead, but I didn't want to do anything dangerous so I walked away.
Trying it again and looking at all the DNFs in recent logs I was not confident, but hilariously I walked right up and laid my hands on the cache in seconds. Very unlike me! A turnabout of the usual - me struggling to find, and reading all the "quick and easy find" logs! TFTC

No such luck

Persistence paid off here as I thought to give this another try. Might have driven away on another day.

Nope

So tricky without a hint but a PAF helped save the day. TFTC

Tricky hide. I felt moved to try somewhere else and got CIH. OCW Brewmaker. TFTC The Booos

I stopped off here for the second time this week, hoping that coming at a quieter time of day would help, but still no luck. Searched high and low, and found plenty of litter, but no cache to be found.

Finally a smiley face for this one after a few DNF . Decided to attempt today ( weekend) less muggles around . After the coordinates bouncing around I decided the move the search around at the end it was the area I tried first but had to think it must be in there if i check here . Yahoo there it is , a sneaky but sensible hide . Golden paper clip TFTC the Booos.

Decided to have another look for this one , seeing it’s a Sunday not as busy .Unfortunately, came up empty, all I got was farmers friend .

Thanks to The Booos for placing and maintaining this cache.

Streak Day #2811 - Stopped by with Dave8153 for a find for the day to keep our streaks going. It took us a couple of mins but we got there. TFTC

Absolutely overthought this one, but my GPS was definitely not helping.

TFTC

All quite on this rail line today

Cheeky little find this one!

Having a good day and still having some energy for some caching fun, I met up with Mizcupcake for a midnight adventure. Driving down usually busy roads and industrial areas now is so peaceful. Having plenty of time to search for this with no distraction, it didnt take long to find. Signed and replaced. Now off for the next station. TFTC!

Out with Littl3Vix on one of our late night/early morning adventures which today took us to Narellan, Camden and Cawdor. Just an FYI, parking is great for night caching!! This one was quite the adventure I dove straight in here. Literally. Littl3Vix pointed out the best place she saw to get through the trees and away I went. Trying to stay unseen and check around was challenging and hilariously funny, and the highlight of the night for me after a few mintues, some guided direction from Littl3Vix on where the GPS was closest to me, and a quick expanded search resulting in nothing, I went back to check some logs to find a few tips. We readjusted our search area and were quickly rewarded.
This one get an FP from me for the fun adventure Thanks!

Didn’t find

Found it Thankyou

Easy find once you read through the comments

Quick find thanks

Found with camoagent28

Woohoo 2/3 today for my new friend. Hint below






Just a little tip no need to bush bash

Nice hide TFTC

Searched for 25mins in all the obvious location nil find

Read through quite a lot of past logs to narrow down my search. It didn't seem to be as complicated as I imagined. Found in a fairly obvious spot. The quiet road leads to glory. TFTC

good find

No sign of any platform or any cache here today.

Someone tooted when they passed me searching here - wonder if it was another cacher?

Once coords settled it was a nice quick find. Tftc

Once cords settled we found pretty quickly as cords were spot on TFTC

Out in the sunshine today with Gundrills and thought we’d drop by and have a go at this one. My second time here (mind you it was cold, dark and desperate need to the loo last time) this time Gundrills rocks up and looks and there was the cache in the first spot he looked. TFTC The Booos

Out shopping for the day with geowife. Decided to do this one since we were in the area and being Sunday not to obvious. Got very lucky as we expected a tough find due a previous log. Found within a minute due to looking in the right place as I went to get in for the search. Thank boos.

Initially parked on the wrong road. The quiet path leads to enlightenment. TFTC

Found it! such a sneaky sneaky hide with very good camo! it took us half an hour to an hour to find this but in the end we got a smiley! it was extremely hard due to no clues and our gps was very jumpy, all i have to say is there’s no need to jump over the wall

Found with Lucky Cricket and 007 mushu, TFTC

After trying for this one several times over the past couple of years we finally found it. thanks to CO for an extra hint. Very very tricky hide TFTC:)

Found with Lucky Cricket and Little Cricket, been here many times to search for this one with no luck. After Lucky Cricket got a hint from CO we finally had a find. A well hidden cache. TFTC

Yes

i think it is gone

No luck here today.
Today I teamed up again with marj01 for another day of caching, this time around the Narellan/Camden/Cobbity areas. 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.

Having seen this had been replaced I was looking forward to an opportunity to grab it. It made for a nice quick stop on the way to work this morning. It was where I expected but I didn't look methodically and so gave up looking for the right thing too quickly and had to come back. Always have method in your searches!

Cache replaced.

Replaced and ready to go

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time please be sure to **post a note** (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date, if you do not then you cache may be archived without further note from a reviewer. Caches archived due to lack of maintenance are no longer unarchived and you will need to submit a replacement as a new cache.

nowhere to be seen

Help!?!

No luck today

No luck today

Looked for a while but didn't have luck. Wasn't prepared to get scratched with all the bushes. Will try again another day.

Had to wait for a muggle parked at GZ to move on. Then, a quick grab. TFTC

Tftc

Searched high and low. Covered in prickles

Second attempt at this one also resulted in another night time search at the end of a full day caching. On one hand it meant easy parking and less muggles but at least I knew what I was looking for after reading a few more logs and I barely needed a torch to help. 25 new smilies for today’s run (that’s 46 in the last two weeks by the Booo clan... sorry for all the log notifications) but time to head home and leave some ‘til another day.

Didnt get this one well try later on tfth

found on a day trip south tftc

Spotted it straight away in a logical place.

Yay we found it.. thank you.

Takes a bit of an effort to find this one bout once you do it it is worth the effort. TFTC

Second cache for the day. TFTC

Searched for a while here but did not find the cache, will have to try again another day.

I swear I looked in the same place so many times and then there it was. TFTC

We had to venture over this way to visit Lolliland for birthday supplies and decided to have a quick search for this one. The last time I'd stopped here the cache was MIA, but this time the find was quick and easy. TFTC!

Gotcha

#3263 (6 of 7 today)

Decided to travel down south today for a bit of cache plundering. The main problem was the further south I went the worse the rain got - actually I suspect it was just the fact the rain was developing during the afternoon.
Went for eight today, and found seven. Probably would have gone for more if not for the wet, and tried to pick targets that would keep me as dry as possible.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Interesting history here.

So many passing cars, my search here kept being interrupted - but at least the tree was keeping the drizzle off. Found it after 5 minutes in one of the most logical spots - and the last one to check. Typical!

Completed signing duties and replaced. Time for one more.

Good find

It was a late find, and after almost giving up, boom, there it was in all of its camo glory!

Good hide like the cover

Clever hide. Happy geokids

No luck here for the Cache, when was it last checked ?

Checked and repaired damaged cache container. hopefully it will be more easly found. no need to climb up off the roadway.

Found cache container lying on ground with No log around. Put in temporary log paper signed and returned to where I think it came from or pretty close.
Have notified Boos and sent photo of container to prove I had found.
TFTC

Finally found this one. I mustn't have had the specs on last time, ahh there it is.
TFTC.

Nice hide, looked about head high.school nearby but no muggles today.tftc

In the wee hours of the morning, not a single vehicle passed me here. At first I was looking too hard for the wrong thing. Then there it was. Right in front of me.

TFTC

Found with Pitman Clan very early on a Sunday. Quiet First to sign new log.

Out early today for sons soccer training and thought we'd grab this whilst it was quiet on our way back. First to sign new log and glad to check this one off . Tftc . Found with Shanteljake14

After a good look around, we were about to give up and "shit a brick" there it was. Being tall was an advantage in seeing this. TFTC

new cache is now in place should be an easy find

Did not find, Had looked before for a long time, no luck again, perhaps this one needs checking on, thanks

Nothing found... Still missing? Needs repair?

After awhile of looking and a LOT of prickles we gave up on this one. Definitely not one for the kids it's very dangerously close to the road

Another DNF today. Can CO please check this one?

Is it possible for CO to check this one? Hasn't been found since January. Thank you

Searched in the bushes and everything could not find it -_- going back tomorrow for another look

The Camden Line - Currans Hill Platform was transferred from Booo'sDad to user The Booos

didn't find it.
was parked in the dangerous place

Lots of prickles, lots of sweat on this scorcher of a day & a pair of gloves to have a good feel around = CIH. Did I mention lots of prickles?! tnsl tftc xo

Searched for half an hour

Finally no nettles. Tftf!
