Only a cursory look.
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.

We couldn't find this one yesterday, too many muggles around. We felt a bit awkward so close to many private properties. Love the TV show and loved looking at Camelot. We will be back when it is a bit quieter. TFTC
Some of the previous finer have been a bit tough on this one. It is not too far in and the coordinates are accurate. Bit worried about being a sticky beak on to private property which is off the main road.
Thanks Booo Booo.
Thanks Booo Booo.
Traveling from Adelaide to Sydney with lots of stops and couldn't resist a detour to see our fav shows home. Shame you can't see it properly but thanks for this spot. Worried about snakes but the wife wanted the photo and I wanted the cache. Found quickly and signed log tftc
Heading to the central coast via the blue mountains for the weekend, I stopped here along the way to make a night find,Found with geodog.
Thankyou for the cache

TFTC! A quick cache with lawlessways. The bushes were a little antagonistic, if I'm being honest.
Drawn to the reason behind this cache as I was a fan of the show (when it was free to air) but can’t really see as much as I would have liked from this vantage point. Don’t know if there could have been a location but even cache placement was disappointing and somewhat dangerous. The semi-geotrail was at posted co-ords but not sure if container (a definite small not micro) was meant to be unceremoniously tossed down a hidden embankment one could (and nearly did) easily break their neck retrieving. Signed log and replaced a little more safely to right of trail and just before the deep hole.
Found out on a trip to Camden with Bec & Ollie.
A nice, quick find. 7th for the day.
Thanks for the cache.

I didn't believe the gps last time I was here. Today I trusted it...but there was a clearer geotrail this time, I'm certain! TFTC
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. Love this house. Tricky hide.
#3518 (13 of 17 today)
I was preparing to go on a cache binge today, as recently I've been back to a quick scramble for a cache later in the day.
With the Geowife's blessing I was getting ready to go and noticed some publishing had occurred.
I spotted one new cache that fitted in with my day's plans, so decided to go for it, then continue on towards Camden, where I could make a lot of quick finds - I hoped.
In the end I got 17 finds and a few DNFs. And I managed to snag the First2Find on the new cache as well.
Top day!
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
DNFed this three months ago, so as I was close thought I'd have another go.
No muggle issues today made it easier to be a little more thorough, and as a result finally got there after 10 minutes.
I really should have trusted the coordinates as they are pretty spot on, despite a nearby area looking like a better option.
Completed signing duties and replaced.
I don't watch the show - Geowife does - but took a picture of the nice house anyway.

Wow!! what an amazing house. Would love to visit it and look around the grounds. This is our last cache for the day, thank you so much for making it so enjoyable, we will return to cache some more!!!
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 . -- 3:50 PM -- SL TNLN TFTH. Thanks for bringing us here.
Cache in good condition.
A gorgeous sunny spring day for geocaching, albeit a bit windy and a tad nippy. Today we left home much later than I had wanted, nevertheless, we scored a nice bucket of cache finds - if I get 10 in a day I am happy, and anything else is a bonus. Today 11 Finds, 1 Trig, some Waymarks and a few attempted DNF. Traveling away from home I don't waste time hanging around trying to find a cache if I haven't located it in the first five minutes. I like to make the most of my day out and I know I will be coming back again in the future. I was thinking of heading out to The Oaks and Burragorang today: but started tossing up staying in Camden as I have previously found it a good place for picking up caches quickly and easily. I discovered today that Camden is NOT the centre for cache quick picks, I think I just got lucky the first time I came here. Anyway, I ended up staying in Camden and attached a good number of The Boos caches and had an amazingly wonderful time doing so.
This cache was in hand fairly quickly. Thank you for the hide.
We love this tv program, having watched it ever since the first episode. It was so wonderful to come and see the filming location, albeit a tiny glimpse. I remember coming through here on the main thoroughfare by ?car 25-30 years ago and seeing a building that looked like a castle or something, but I my memory seems to think it was closer than Camelot. I always thought it was Camelot though. I know what I saw, but time has worn the edges. I love this house too, very beautiful.

Log book a little damp but still OK to write on. Lovely street, beautiful houses . TFTC
I wasn't confident with this one when I saw the surroundings. And I was sort of right. Quote: "Oh joy, it could be anywhere. I guess it might be somewhere like, oh wait, that's it. Ow. Ah. Ow. Got it."
Thanks for the stunning location. Geokid 9 fell in the bush trying to grab cache
The Geowife is going to Newcastle for lunch - without me! So I decided to head in the opposite direction for some caches.
Having finished my streak last month, the question became "What is my next goal?" Apart from the obvious - finishing my D/T grid (drat those 4½ & 5 terrains) - I decided that by the end of 2017 I would have at least 5 finds on each calendar day. That represents at least one find per day for each year I'll have cached (2013 - 2017).
Currently, this represents just over 90 days, but quite a few of them only need one find. On the other hand, less than ten calendar days only have two finds. Today is one of them.
Maybe 15 finds today was overkill... Naaaah! It's all good - except for the two DNFs.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Second DNF of the day.
Got to GZ and let out an inward groan, surveying the area. Looked around for a bit with a constantly shifting GPS. Felt watched by the houses over the road and after 10 minutes the dogs from one came out barking. That's me out of here.

TFTC Thank you for going to the effort of hiding this cache. You have shown us a new place and have helped make geocaching an enjoyable activity.
Found with the GeoKids and GeoDog. Gotta love a cache walking distance from home!!
Thanks Booo Booo!!
Thanks Booo Booo!!
Honestly didn't think we were going to find this one. After following the obvious trail we came up empty. Had an extensive look in other places before returning to the trail one last time and finally uncovered the gold. Felt just slightly like creepy stalkers standing in the garden peering at the amazing castle of a house but we couldn't help but stare is awe. TFTC
A bit wet as I dove from the car into the bushes my mistake thinking they would be dry.... I Gave chef smurff a home
Finally nailed this one after a long while. I was always put off by the over viewing houses across the street. Well it was a week day with min muggles around and the trees had grown up making it a straight forward find. Rehid the container as it was rather exposed when I found it. Even Camelot is a bit harder to see from here due the shrubbery growth. Visited a TB. TFTC Booo Booo.
Such a beautiful home!! Wish it were mine, LOL.
When we within metres of the GZ, StumbleTrip and I thought we would be sticking our handing into some nearby drains. However, with luck, this was not necessary. Dropped a TB here and a FP from me.

Thought we were to look in two nearby drains until something in my peripheral vision stopped me in my tracks. WHAT A HOUSE!! And what a delight that it hasn't succumbed to the fate of so many grand dames of her generation: demolition. TFTC! FP from me today.
Shame for the wet weather right now. Geo-trail made for an easy find. Thanks for bringing me here, Booo Booo
Once we were looking in the right place this was a fairly easy find. Just got to find the right place.
A side trip on the way home.
I saw a better view of the hose from Camelot.
TFTC.
Inside the container was damp.

Have been to this spot before to admire the house, with logs of issues with neighbours I was not real happy about searching, lucky it is an instant find.
I followed the geotrail and one of the Pitman Clan found another rabbit hole... and came out with a cache. Much easier in the daylight hours! TFTC
Miss Geoteen disappeard then hey presto she appeared with something odd she was convinced wasnt the cache... Bingo!! Tftc
No wonder we had trouble in the dark... Today while one team member tried what looks like the obvious geo trail, I spotted another suspect looking spot about 5m or so off the coords. One of the geo teens leapt in and thought she found something weird that wasn't the cache. 'It's the cache' , said I having seen the same hiding method elsewhere. I think she had a bit of a face palm moment when she flipped it and looked! TFTC!
Couldn't find it this time, and didn't feel right being there whilst a wedding was going on.

Not this trip anyway
Thanks for the great Adventure Booo Booo(8D)

Found 2 short trails and had a dig around. Had to give up when we started drawing attention from the local muggles.
Dnf. Watch out for snakes, saw a snake (was hit by a car and no longer alive though) right near the gps coordinate for this one. Had to leave as the ppl across the road were giving us the stink eye.
Very clever hide, thought it could be under a rock.
Found with grandson Nathan.

Some amazing properties around here. Felt quite exposed and a little confused at GZ but fortunately a trail led to some familiar camo. TFTC!
8895 + 1010 = 9905. Found during a work trip to the Penrith region.
Working at Penrith during the week so I took the opportunity to grab some caches. This was the tenth for the day. A quick find at GZ. Grabbed, signed and returned the cache, then it was off to the next one.
Thanks again Booo Booo !
TNLN - TFTC !!
