Lovely day, plenty of hiding spots and not enough time! Maybe another day, when I'm not dressed to attend a wedding...
4/6/17. 8:04 AM. Cache #5067.
5th of 6 this morning - Leppington, Varroville, Kearns, Eschol Park & Leumeah.
Came here after another Historic Home (Epping Forrest); parked 3m from GZ and thought I could see it from the car. But when I got and checked the thing, it wasn't the cache. Luckily, it was early enough in the morning to be muggle free around here, so I could stick my head in all sorts of places.
Finally turned it up. SL, replaced and then decided to keep heading south to one more historic home, Holly Lea & Plough Inn. TFTC.

My phone GPS was playing up again, and I was starting to threaten it with being supplanted by my real GPSr. I had a fair idea where on the x axis the cache was but not so much on the y or z axes. Eventually I had a scratch around, then went for the place I thought it wouldn't be, and was rewarded for my bold (I thought) choice.
What a beautiful historic house .
Found 11.20 Anzac Day with nobody around .
We gave it a fav tick for the history .
Many thanks the boos .

TFTC. #291 and 4th of 13 finds today. This scorching hot day is our one year caching anniversary and we were determined to get our 300th find today. We have heard of, but never been to Eschol Park House - wow! what a beautiful house (must have been even more magnificent in its heyday without all of the surrounding houses!!). We had to wait a little while for muggles to clear - they were standing within metres of GZ after exiting a function (presumably) at the nearby venue and more came out just as we replaced the container. Thanks to The Booos for another great cache at an interesting historical spot
Arrow indicating spot on co-ords to an obvious hide, I speedily waded into make the easy grab, so quickly I didn’t notice the muddy slush that had now turned my white shoes brown. Yuk!
Got it...even though I managed to get mud all over my shoe??? Oh well... finding a cache makes it all worthwhile every time!!! TFTC
Took ages but finally found it exactly where we thought it would be. Much more hidden than was expected.
This was my first cache and I was unfamiliar with the area. Me and my friend looked for an hour with no luck and it started raining so we left. After going through the comments, I think I know where it is. Going back next week.
I don't think I have actually been here before and it is well wort the visit. After going on a wild goose chase the gps settled and led me straight to it. TFTC

OK I hate cut and paste logs so will try my best to add a little something different to each log I post. Code 1 and myself were out on our annual caching run weekend. So some of our logs read both names but to save room on micros and nano’s etc we used CJ1.
Like most of our past trips a little homework was needed to work out a suitable location, route and to build lists and PQs, with this done and set we found our self’s in the Camden location. A great range of finds and styles were located with a great deal of questioning over some of the posted difficulties and terrains.

Found on a weekend invasion of my old romping ground with JAB's.
It's crazy to see how much the area I grew up in has changed over the years.

I was in the area for a Special Olympic event so on my way home on a wind but nice day I made a few detours. This is nice area with lots of history. Tftc. I left a TB.
with gavman74First time ever looking for a cache but can't find it anywhere! Avoiding spiders in the dark probably has something to do with it!
That must be my quickest find to date. First place I looked.
Log currently damp, and practically full.

I was to be able to attend a wedding here this evening. I quickly ducked out and made an easy find at 11:20pm. Beautiful place. TFTC
Walked up and down for 20 minutes. Dug through the hedge. Stood back. Thought clearly. No luck. Try again later
Travelling to Aberglasslyn to visit Mr Harrowang's sister for the long weekend and made a slight detour to find this one, to help with a challenge we are working on. Fabulous old home and easy find as we were able to park quite close to GZ. SL at 1pm TNLN #3176 TFTC The Booos - we are 485kms from our home now!

I've been looking at my D/T matrix lately, then checking out the caches that fill the holes. I currently have 4 I think are (relatively) easily doable by me - ie, I think I can do them without killing myself. This was one of those four.
So decided to head south around Campbelltown again for this and then whatever else I grab. Then thought I'd take the long way home by going via Glenmore Park for one of the three Hidden Days I don't have.

Walked here from my nearby DNF.
One spot attracted my attention on approach, but needed to wait out 3 women who came out of the nearby church. Finally they went and I looked in my likely spot. Nothing.
Checked a few other possible spots. Also nothing.
Went back to the first spot. Aah, it was there - missed it the first time.
Took over the road to complete signing duties, then back for the replce.

Quick visit on way back home with Chrissy61(nan). Pulled up and straight to it. Swapped keyring for dollar coin. TFTC .
Found after about 5 mins and calling a friend. As she said stand back and have a look. Not where you think it would be. Good hide. Swapped Red knuckle in and butterfly keychain out. TFTC 
Dwight shrute FTW as we tried to look inconspicuous on the side of the road. Took marble, left trading cards. TFTC!
yep thought too hard for too long , checked again where the geo teens had been certain they'ed checked and hey presto! Nice quiet early evening time.
Good hiding spot!!! Added to the capsule... with Jordy B

Quick and easy find, props to Gregsavoie2 for locating it. Took a toy and threw out the 'gift' of eye drops (weird) replaced with two

No luck. Even with some very helpful clues from other GeoHunters left in the comments. Hope its still there and that I just missed it...
