As per my DNF log.
CO check in case it's buried /goneski in recent council works
CO check in case it's buried /goneski in recent council works
Decided to head out Quaker's Hill / Schofields way for a few caches today - mop up some of the caches I'd not previously attempted.
Managed to grab eight (and DNF a few along the rail line) as well as get caught at one cache by the CO.
And this time as I was heading home I remembered to grab the nearby puzzle cache I'd solved.

Yep, plenty of new mulch and new concreting here. If it's here it's probably buried, but every chance it's been snaffled in the landscaping.
Needs CO check. Hopefully I'm wrong.

Hey
1) well done to Blundo's for his achievement of 1,000 finds.
2)TFTF. It was a Great way to Try out my new GPS. at first I didn't see it but then out of the corner of my eye I saw a shimmer of light reflect of... you guessed it the Cache.
be for long It was Signed and Put Back and I was moving on to the Next.
This was Number 3 out of the 7 I was aiming for. I Got 5 at the end of the day.
Not bad for a 2 hr Ride.
Thanks again

Looked at the Rock right in front of this spot then checked to the sides before returning to the correct spot again and saw the cache right in front of my face. TFTC.
I was a woman on a mission this morning. Once all the kids were signed out of Kids Church I was off and running. I had to find 5 caches before picking up my son at 12:30 to make an assault on '1905' for my 500th cache.
I found a cache heavy area not too far from home and went to work.
Cache no. 6. With my time up, but this one so close I had a go at it. Grateful for a very quick find.

A quick park and grab. I used up the last space in the log.It needs a new log.

Construction fencing currently stops just in time to still allow access to GZ for an easy find, sadly among a rubbish dump.
Within 1 meter of a worksite of resurfacing the road. No workman at this hour though. Nice.. 
Unfortunately I didn't do all of my homework. As I am walking I was not able to look on both sides of the track, so I'll just get this side and cross over when I can on my way to Marayong.
Nice quick & easy find! Had to wait for someone parked right next to GZ to leave after they finally finished their phone call. SL / TFTC 
Congrats BB!
Congrats BB!#53 - Looking 4 Cache iPad App
This one was very easy. We parked on the other side of the road and had to walk back a little. I remembered the hint and saw something very obvious on the ground. I beat Geomum this time.

Needing a find on this side of the country to add some kms to my tb before I shoot off again interstate. Chose this one as I am starting to clear my 10km radius and this is my 3rd closest to home at the moment. Nice quick find signed log on back with another 3 signatures so some time yet before log needs changing. TFTC and grats to Blundo for achieving his milestone belatedly.
Found while away geocaching with tmann421. Thanks to all the great hiders out there that enabled us to see some fantastic views & places in NSW. Sorry for the late logs but it will be Xmas before I catch up
Another good find with TuisReturn
We enjoyed touring around the area finding caches

I drove on from Wright Reserve, deciding to stop and attempt this one before finally getting to work. I used the hint, as I was running out of time, so it was a quick find. Congratulations to BB for achieving the milestone. I think I’m getting close to that one myself.
Nice one, thanks HappyPaintball.
Nice one, thanks HappyPaintball.
Congratulations on the milestone bb . Have found afew of his and still many to go. Approaching the same myself, this was 857. Quick drive by. Tftc
No encounters with Jon English, had to settle for a couple of muggles walking by on a hot day. Nice tribute cache, HP. We had CIH very quickly and SL. Cache is in great condition, replaced and checked camo. TFTC!
After a few DNF's in a row, I was quite happy to find this cache. TFTH, Greetings from Arizona, USA.
An easy find on Day 28 of the 31 Days of Geocaching challenge. Congratulations Blundo Busters. A fantastic achievement. Bring on the next 1000!! Thanks for the cache HappyPaintball
Headed out on the georocket for a Blactown blitz this afternoon.
Found this one quickly - congratulations Blundo Busters.

Did this cache late at night so as to keep my August streak going after a busy day at work. Arrived at GZ and show what the hint meant. Another Train spotter cache! No a BB milestone. Well done Blundo on getting your 1000th and still in the game. Thanks HPB for the cache
Cheers

I was expecting something like a BB hide, then I read the hint, OK, there you are! Thanks HP.
Glad this was an easy find as I was running out of time.. Congrats BB for this milestone & TFTC HP
Jumped out of the warm comforts of the car into cold winds, watched a tangara speed past Blacktown bound. Had to use hint to quicken the process, SL TFTC
BB must be spewing about this cache; you stole a potential TS series location. The only reason you're still alive is probably because you named it after him. I'm still beating myself up that I didn't get the FTF. Oh well, congrats BB on the milestone, hey I'm only 30 odd finds from my 1000, so I guess I'll be getting another cache named after me soon HP lol or do I have to also hide 100 caches as well? SL #969 on streak day #403 TFTC
Nice easy find. Pleased to see a cache mark BB's milestone. And pleased he was the FTF. And if I could award a fav point for a log I would for the other BB! TFTC HappyPaintball.
FTF 15:00 10/8.
Saw this pop up and had only just arrived home. Thought it was appropriate for me to rush out and nab this one.
Had a good little search around and soon discovered the clever hide. And, yes HP, it does match the style of a few of my hides. As I was signing log in first place a 4-car Tangara passed by. Also appropriate.
Thanks for the kind words HP. We really enjoy this obsession called caching. Both the finds but especially the hides. 1,000 is sure a lot when you think about how many hours has gone into this "hobby", but then again some people have found 20,000+. Bring on the next 1,000.
A fave point given.
Cheers, BB.

#2082- This one came up while we were at Parramatta seeing Hairspray- We met up with Team Canary, who'd been trying to call us after seeing we'd been at LEGOLAND earlier today too. Second to find with the rest of the family and Team Canary. A quick one once the GPS settled. Spot on co-ords. Thanks
We were in Parramatta today for the last matinee performance of Hairspray, staring Jon English as Edna, the mum. The curtain came down for the end of the first act, so I decided to switch the phone back on to check email. That’s when I got the notification for this one: BB’s Milestone!
Well, I thought, I’m a BB, but my milestone had passed a few months ago. Sure enough, when I read the cache notes, I discovered that this was not a belated memorial to my own trek across Mt Solitary. How could this be! There was only one way to make this cache mine. I had to at least try for a First to Find!!!
The show kicked off for the second act, but I had already made up my mind. I figured I could slip out of the theatre and be back for the closing curtain with a FTF. I made a toilet excuse and ducked out the door, but instead of turning right and heading for the foyer, I made a sharp left and slipped through a door at the back of the stage. The door closed shut and locked. I gave a few tugs but it was obvious that it wasn’t going to give. So I crept forward, with the dying notes of one of the stage numbers in my ears. Suddenly, Jon English rushed off-stage. He was so surprised to see me that he slipped in his high heels, tripped, crashed into me and walloped his head against the wall. He was out cold. I struggled out from under him, his sweat acrid, and the foam padding under his dress twisted between us.
Oh crap! What to do!
There were some voices nearby and a lot of movement just around the corner. I couldn’t go back the way I’d come and the only way forward, I figured, was in a pink dress and a double D bra. It wasn’t dignified, but this is what I would do, I thought, as I slipped into Jon English’s grandma pants, for a FTF on a cache nominally dedicated to myself.
I’d no sooner straightened my bra, when I was suddenly bundled into a giant hairspray container, ready to make a surprise entrance for the final number. When the tube was opened I stood gaping at the audience.
“That’s my dad!” NickoHeap cried from the audience, his finger jabbing at me. Everyone looked at him, and then followed the point of his finger. But I was already high-tailing it. I pushed a few dancers aside, clattered down the steps of the stage and headed for the exit.
It was then that I realised I had nothing but my iPhone and a good set of legs to get me to the cache. The theatre was in an uproar. I’d better get out of here, I thought. I lifted my dress about my knees and ran, heading towards Victoria Road. I stopped next to the road, panting heavily, my most salient features heaving provocatively, and thrust a leg out as a lure.
The truck almost jack-knifed and the smoke engulfed me before the screeching stopped.
“Going my way?” the truckie asked with a sly grin. I began to wonder what I wouldn’t do for a FTF.
By the time we got to the cache location, the sun was low. I crawled from the truck and the truckie gave me a toot on his air horn, by way of thanks, I guess. The truck disappeared to reveal the WaywardWoman, with Garks and NickoHeap, waiting next to the car on the other side of the road.
“You mean,” I asked, my lip quivering, “I’m not first to find?”
“Not close,” the WaywardWoman replied, the cache held in her hand for me to see. “BB got here first,” she added cruelly.
“But I’m BB!” I cried. “It’s BB’s milestone. It’s mine! It’s mine!”
The WaywardWoman gave me a wry grin, as she checked out my dishevelled state. “Always the bridesmaid, never the bride,” she remarked.
She got in the car and fish-tailed it down the road. She left me the cache and the pen. I signed the cache and replaced it. Then I set my mind to wondering how I would get home this time.

Bikerbuddy that was funny as, I had tears running down my face. I had images of a bloke running down Parramatta road in a dress thanks for the laugh
I was able to help Blundo with his Milestone find, so I was glad to make a joint 2TF with bikerbuddy and WaywardWoman.
TFTC and congratulations Blundo!
