Historic Home - Belgenny Farm Camden South, New South Wales, Australia

gone again not replacing

No find for us this evening

Have to give up on this one for now.

Came by last night and had a good solid search around by torchlight, but wasn't able to spot anything.

Came back today hoping that daylight would make the difference, and initially thought I'd missed an obvious location the first time round. A thorough search yielded nothing though, so maybe I'd been right the first time.

Went back to searching where I'd looked in the dark, but still nothing to be found. I used a couple of geotools to check at higher levels, but all in vain.

I'm hoping this one is still here and I can find it on another visit - Belgenny Farm was a favourite excursion destination during school and I have a soft spot for it still. ️

A quick find once at gz. TFTC.

been to the farm once TFTC

Came back for this one. Nice and tricky .

Found while out caching with WaywardWoman. TFTC

Dnf think it might be taken

Third time lucky for this one. Found the coordinates a little out, took a PAF to find this sneaky little sod!

it wasn’t there. we did find a magnet but there was nothing attached.

Another nightly geoventure with Mizcupcake tonight. Grabbing some quick and easy finds while in the Camden area. Checking out the south side of Camden and we saw this cache we felt was a little lonely. A few DNFs between some finds, we thought we would try it out. Arriving to gz we noticed a few areas it might be hiding. And knowing some of The Booos hides, we searched those areas. Coming up with CIH quickly we were pleased with ourselves. Signed and replaced we made our way to the geomobile. TFTC The Boos!

Out on another night adventure with Littl3Vix, we have decided to hit up the Menangle Camden South area tonight and this was our fifth stop. When we pulled up at GZ and saw that this was The Booos, we both knew what we could be in for, and ran through a quick checklist of potential items we may need to get the cache into our hands. Once the hunt began, knowing The Booos, we thoroughly checked over things and I was quickly rewarded at the second place I looked. I wonder if we would have found it this easy in the day? Very cheeky unfortunately we couldn't see the house in the dark but thank you for the history and the smiley.

Spent a while looking but couldn't find it

Tiny one! TFTC.

No joy for me today!

This was my first find cheers

Looked for ages but did not find

Finally found now weve done a few trickier caches and know what we are to look for.

Happy Easter

Can’t find it sorry. Need a hint

Great spot, easy to find.

Cool

AS SUGGESTED: needs a new log.

Another find with geo family. Surprised this has taken us so long to get. Less that 2 min drive from home. TFTC. Another for the mystery museum event.

Found with the geofam TFTC

Extremely aware of muggles especially one that pulled up not far from GZ I considered giving up. However when I stood in a particular spot I saw it. Needs new log. TFTC

Needs new log

Found it but the log book was full

Found in under a minute. Needs more log paper.

Found so easy,with waterfall2890 and caprice15

found with katiebear04 and waterfall2890 was a very small geocache but didn’t take us long to find

Found with katiebear04 and caprice15! such a great and easy find! found under a minute!!

Came last night and couldn’t find but returned today and found it

No luck today, couldn't see it anywhere

The Rats have had a slow caching start to 2019 but today we set about rectifying that. The Camden/Campbelltown had seen a plethora of caches published since I was out this way last time, so on a beautiful Autumns day I had a great day caching through the burbs.

Nice and easy.
Thanks

Tftc

Found it. Nice park and grab. TFTC

Bingo

I had to come at it from the right angle before I could see it, cache in hand quickly. TFTC

Awesome. First on the new cache. And first of spring. Tftc

New cache in place

No luck here today

Looked high and low. It’s a new sign so my it got taken away with the old one

Don't know if the cache is still here...

Out for my daily cache I spied Belgenny Farm. In the early 1990s I was involved in setting up the field studies centre. This was not long after most of the Camden Park Estate was sold to the Department of Agriculture. This included the Macarthur's original home and the surrounding sheds.

Now much restored and changed, they are a good tourist attraction but lack the character of the old building which were close to falling down.

Thanks for bringing me here, The Boooos

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

I think I has been missing for a while but I did not find the cache

Goodfind with the geodaughters

Moooooo

An interesting place. Pity you can't get any closer for a look. TFTC

Man I hate caches when your short lifted geokid 10 long legs and all up and instantly says I see it. Just changed geocache user name logged as CLAN of 6

Out caching on a cooler day, pulled up at GZ, many possibilities, searched for awhile and then read some logs, hmmm backed back I think I see something, yes that’s the cache. Nice little spot.

Quick find. Signed and replaced. 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 sixth for the day. Quick find, now we are zoned into finding micros for the past two days. Needed our trusty tweezers, but didn't mind re-rolling log in such a lovely rural setting. Thanks

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.

Thanks.

Looked around for 5 or so minutes, didn't have too much time, but no luck. Checked down where i thought it would be, no luck

#4100 (5 of 8 today)

It's another day where I need a find to achieve my goal of five finds per calendar day by the end of 2017. I only need the one, but why get one when you can get a lot more?
Decided as I'd only grabbed one or two for a few days to head to Camden where there are still plenty of caches to nab. In the end I grabbed eight, including my 4100 milestone.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
For the milestone I decided on a combination that represents some great history and the CO whose caches I've found more of than any other.

Nice easy find at GZ and grabbed the Munzee as well.
Didn't know this was the site of John Macarthur's farm. Now I do.

Thanks for all the hides **The Boos**. And I still have plenty of yours still to find!

Gosh! Clue for future caches: stuck with your instincts even if you don't find it the first time! Nice one! TFTC

Couple of options at spot on co-ords but suspect a bit of evil cache creep has occurred as even a few centimetres difference in elevation raised the terrain stars. Struggled to reach as staff/students drove past so had to quickly replace it those few centimetres lower which better match the posted rating.

#2017

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

I thought this was going to be a quick park and grab, but no it wasn't.. after looking in all the wrong places and some of them not close enough, I went back to some other logs..

Presto.. if ADI was here she wouldn't of found it!!

TFTC

Nice quick one. Great memories from Belgenny

Grr... So we got to this spot- 'wait in the car, I've got this' I said to fellow Raby Roamer, having been confronted with many sign based caches before and knowing the types of hides that usually accompany them. Well I looked.. and looked, then expanded my search to other areas. Looked in every hole, under every pile of grass. By then Raby Roamer 2 got out of the car and also began searching the area. Just as we were about to give up, RR2 said.. 'oh here it is- didn't you look here'... yes.. yes I did look there.. like 2 seconds after getting out of the car.. I looked there..It was not there... it must have magically teleported there during the search... ahhh the unnecessary time I wasted. I blame it on my shorter stature. Anyway, glad to tick this one off. Lovely farm this is- my geofriend is considering getting married here next year. Thanks for the cache!

Just realised I have forgotten to log my cache finds. Found this in November. I did sign the log so you should find my chicken scratch squiggled across the page. TFTC.

I found this cache as a joint part of “Team” *Throsbyonchurch* and in which name the log book was signed. I now have my own account as I’m old enough to cache myself, so I am claiming a fair share of my earlier finds. As I had no caching name at the time there's no log in the book for me but I’m claiming the find under team ToC. Thank you for the hide.

Found it . -- 6:50 PM -- SL TFTH. Thanks for bringing us here. Cache in good condition.
Formulated an arrangement this morning to head off to Kmart and buy some puppets for a friend for the Christmas Carols. Following school pickup we way our way to Narellan. Part of the plan was to collect some caches. Every cache I initially visited resulted in a failure.
*Come on!! this has to change, I can't go home empty-handed.*
Decided to make tracks home and search as we went. Arriving at Belgenny Farm we found ourselves in another situation which looked like failure. Hhhmmm..... took another look at the cache page description, had a glance at what was before us and in blew an idea. Ahhh, presto! there you are.
I love your Historic Homes caches. I get excited to see where all the pioneering action took place following school history lessons and things I have read since. Thank you so much.

Caching with Team Merlin with coordinates in hand we parked near by. When at GZ it took a bit to
locate but finially spotted and retrieved. With the cache in hand we both signed the log before replacing as found. Both the container and log are in good condition.

Out with JJCC for a cache run and stopped off at Belgenny Farm for look. On the way out noticed this cache and decided to have a look. Took a bit to find as for some reason we didn't have the cache size in our heads...anyway it was eventually spotted and retrieved on our second look, With the cache in hand we both signed the log before replacing as found. Both the container and log are in good condition.

The following TBs came through for the mileage: Bob geoMinion, Dave geoMinion, Diary of a Wimpy Kid Tag, Element14 Trackable, Evil geoMinion, Heart Strings, Help for Heroes Geocoin, I need a short walk!, Jerry geoMinion, Lackey Tag, Larry geoMinion, Stuart geoMinion, teamMerlin's 7 Deadly Ducks Tag (Lust), Travel Bug Dog Tag (x2) and Vanlith The Youngling.
