Spent a bit of time here looking at all things obvious and not. Saw a possible hidey hole 2m away but was empty. Will keep an eye out.
 
19-Nov-23
I checked every nook and cranny but there was no sign of it anywhere. I think the cache might be missing. Sad
 
30-Sep-23
Nice and chill find!
 
24-Sep-23
Thanks!
 
24-Sep-23
Thanks! A fun, easy find
 
23-Sep-23
Found 3:28 pm with fiance. Catching up on my logs. My lovely other half treated me to a weekend away for my birthday. And we ended out here staying near Eastern Creek raceway. As part of my treat she lets me do a day of caching or as much as I want. So here we were now finding caches. For this one Yes not the first most obvious location but fiance noted the next possibles and there it was. I also dread bridges when I see them appearing near GZ some experience with Tank Engine bridge caches and they are pretty tricky too find, so some relief there. Thanks for the cache.
 
06-Aug-23
It was the cache of the day. Loved it. Going through everythong we couldn't find 4 of the other nearby caches we thought it would just be the same lol. But luckily this time we were lucky.
 
13-Jun-23
So glad to turn this smiley upside down! It’s funny, this one was indeed not in the most obvious spot when I tried to find this with my girlfriend two years ago, but this time I basically walked up and grabbed it! Maybe the sunlight helped I don’t know :p

Signed the log and returned with a little more camo than I found it with

TFTCJQ!

OCW GGCoconut and HJCoconut and on a mission to try and complete the hard level souvenir for the April Wheel of Challenges which requires finding and logging 100 caches. Today's the last day and I'm so close! We've decided to head out this way and work our way through the Cars series of caches - we are big fans of the movies ️ we've had a nice time finding the various characters today and discovering some lovely local reserves in the process

Well this one was a previous DNF for me - I remember when we searched previously in November 2020 it was a stinking hot 43 degree day!!! So glad it was a much more reasonable temperature today. Despite the hint, I couldn't help myself and started to inspect the obvious, only to hear GGC call out 'found it' in the less obvious and probably much better spot. Yes, fits in very nicely there! Very happy to turn Doc into a smiley! Thank you for placing this and for bringing us here today.

Hi Geocachers, we checked this cache today. It's there, all good. It's a little off the beaten track so you need to search around a bit Smile Joshua Quest
 
29-Dec-22
I searched with Dad for a while but we couldn't find it anywhere
 
29-Dec-22
No luck on this search. Checked the 2 most obvious spots, stuck my hands in all the places spiders might hide but no joy. ️
 
30-Aug-22
Nice hide! Unfortunately the spiders also like the hiding spot so couldn't manage to sign the log
 
28-Aug-22
Found the cache we couldn’t write on the log cause there are to many spider
 
28-Aug-22
Thanks for another one in this series. Great little hide. No log signed due to the covering of spiders and webs, keeping the cache company.
 
12-Jan-22
I ain’t going in those holes if that’s what you’re asking… which you’re probably not, but couldn’t see anything else
 
02-Jan-22
After a brief search i found it. Nice hiding spot and TFTC.
 
12-Dec-21
Great hide TFTC
 
05-Nov-21
All good, just needed a clean. Happy Cashing
 
04-Nov-21
Will check it out shortly
 
03-Nov-21
Yeah, didn’t have high hopes for this one since it’s been so long since it was found. Checked the obvious and not obvious spots with no luck; maintenance probably needed here
 
11-Apr-21
joshua quest I didn’t find your cache JQ's Doc Hudson on 11/4/21, 2:23 pm. Did a quick search but nothing found. One and half years since last found, cache check required.
 
29-Nov-20
Out caching today in the 40 degree heat with Adonis & Meritonnn. We didn't see any other people out and about in the heat of the day but we did see some of the biggest spiders I've ever seen! Also, no snakes - but I'm sure they were around!!!

This one was a DNF for us. I was getting anxious about running into a snake (especially after reading previous logs!). We felt we had a good search, but in the blazing sun we eventually moved on to shadier conditions. I love the idea for this series (Cars) so hope to make some finds in the series another time! Smile
 
29-Nov-20
Well thankfully didn't spot any snakes despite the intense heat, but unfortunately didn't spot any cache either. Had a decent search of a few possible spots but no dice.
 
10-Oct-20
Not luck with this cache today, we looked high and low. And in multiple places. Next time we are in the area we’ll have a crack. Thank you
 
30-Aug-20
Didn’t get a chance to get close enough- once we got to 5m we were greeted by a massive red belly black sunning it self on such a warm afternoon! It wasn’t happy to see us and we high tailed out of there!
We will definitely come back and claim this smiley on a cooler day! Thanks
 
08-Nov-19
With a day off work and no pressing commitments i thought id head out this way and try my hand at a couple of caches in this area.
I was able the find the cache, as noted in the clue, away from the obvious spot.
Thanks to NationalSteel for the log and joshua quest for the cache.

Enjoying caching over here. Tftc
 
21-Jun-19
I searched several obvious and non obvious objects before getting to the right angle to make a relatively easy find. As others have reported, there is no log book present - so I have added one. TFTC!
 
11-Jun-19
Had no paper to log. Found with iseijin

Great hiding spot. TFTC
 
31-Dec-18
On a day when the temperature reached 39 degrees, only mad dogs and crazy cachers go out in the midday sun! But we wanted one last hurrah to end 2018, and so EverestHigh and Brewmaker headed out west to attempt the Pot of Gold series and others around the area. We had a successful day overall, but the heat got the better of us at times and we had a few DNFs. Thanks for the variety of hides. I remember cycling through this area back in my pre-caching days. Happy New Year and many caching returns in 2019.

Not the obvious obviously, but obvious enough for us given the obvious options nearby. TFTC
 
31-Dec-18
No need to do the Brigeclimb. TFTC Joshua quest
 
18-Nov-18
We found it
 
01-Sep-18
Located at 8:31. #832. After some cache maintenance nearby, I decided to go for one find nearby before heading off to the brickworks. Pleasant morning for a stroll and soon enough I had CIH. Большое спасибо! תודה! L’chaim! TFTC!
 
15-Aug-18
made my way to GZ and search the obvious object, read the hint and changed my search. Soon had the cache in hand. Signed log and replaced as found. tftc
 
14-Jul-18
Had a nice walk along the path and was soon a GZ. The cache was found quickly and easily after a short search. The log was signed and then the cache was replaced as found. Thank you joshua quest for placing this cache.

Cheeky hiding spot
 
05-Jan-18
Went for the most obvious spot - Do’h! Spun around and cache was in hand. It was a little exposed so when l replaced l put back in the same spot, just put a bit of camo around it. TFTC!
Left a pathtag for next finder

Thanks for the cache Smile

Found on holidays from SA
 
31-Oct-17
Slight detour from the nearby power trail for this one.

I took the all terrain approach here, thinking I was on the wrong side of the creek I crossed it......using, rather aptly for this cache, part of a car engine as a stepping stone

Quick grab once at GZ

Lots of different hidding places. But found it. Thank you.
 
15-Feb-17
This day has been very good to find some caches in this area. [:o)] Together with Pitsch Patsch we walked this distance. Smile Most of the hiding places could be found well thanks to the good coordinates and directions. [^] The route was ideal to walk, every now and then we saw a few cyclists using this route. Cool

> Thank you for hiding and bringing the Moorhelmi from Germany.

I was on my way to Blacktown to drop some food off to my 25 year old nephew when a massive storm hit. My geodogs were trapped in my car as I was literally only 2 minutes in his granny flat when I became trapped in his filth! Spent 20 minutes helping him stop the rain from entering under the door and through the windows. When the storm had passed I decided it was time to rescue the geodogs and reward them for being so brave during the storm by taking them to a geocache. The grass along the creek at the start of the path had been flattened so I'm guessing there was a massive amount of water that went through the storm drain. As I headed towards GZ I saw the obvious and headed towards it knowing it was going to be nearby. Found another obvious although a little more secluded spot and had CIH. Second finder for the day, I hope the previous cachers didn't get caught in the storm. SL #2311 on streak day #1304 TFTC
 
30-Jan-16
Second find for us in this series... 6th find altogether today.. might be our last as a storm coming over. Tftc. Clue is right on
