After failing on one grave in the cemetery and the one in the park I visited to here for the AL and found the cache about 8 metres from where the iPad wanted me to be - one for the experienced cacher I reckon.

Travelling through Campbelltown doing Team KK’s Adventure Lab “Campbelltown - Home of Fisher’s Ghost” collecting additional caches along the way.
Oldmorty asked if I could help him look for this cache as he has had no luck the last couple of times he looked.
He couldn’t believe it. He just looked up, and there it was. Well done oldmorty.

Planned a geocache run with the geo daughter. Set our sights on 8 caches and were happy not to log a DNF on any of them. Our route plan took us to parks and reserves we’d never been to before. Also achieved a 12km run in the process. A great morning of geocaching.
TFTC. Found with EmilyCamden. Our first attempt of the 8 we’re planning to get today. We’re off to a good start.

Second time lucky on this one. Really busy today so had to park a long way from GZ, so really happy when I located this little bugger. Must have been a while since the last find because I had to remove a spider's web to access the cache. TFTC

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.

Spotted this one in the first spot I looked but the log is full.Signed over the top of some.
Thanks

#14943. Day 1 of a short holiday and we are on the road from Beechworth to Campbelltown before continuing north tomorrow. Didn't stop for too many on the way - a lot were on the wrong side of the highway. Hope to collect them on our return trip going south.

Another beautiful old home - very grand style. The garden is lovely but looking a little thirsty (like so much of NSW). Not at all fond of these tiny nano containers I must say. Can't remember whether the log needed replacing here.

Thanks The Booos
 
04-Nov-18
Even around here there were muggles we had to out-wait late on a Sunday!
An interesting house, be good to see inside. The gardens are looking great.
Thanks, Robmc.
