Unfortunately there has been no maintenance or updates on this cache. Time to go?
We will be giving this cache some maintenance soon at the moment we are away as soon as we get back and have a time to fix this cache we will.
This little guy was a tough find. Mind you it was 6am and raining so I wasn't trying to make it easy on myself. Secluded little spot in urban Sydney, Tftc
Soaking wet logs give the finder no chance to sign at the moment.
Plus, the cache container is cracked so letting in more water.

I've been looking for this cache while running along the track for about a year. Finally located it last week. Sadly I didn't have a pen w me so no log in this occasion. TFTC
Hunted around where it should be but there has been a lot of bushcare clean up here. I suspect *muggled.*
I've been past here so many times but never had a chance to stop. Today I finally parked in the next street and walked back. I was a bit put off by the fact it was a micro in non-descript bush and looked too long on the wrong side before looking at old logs and that photo. Spotted those items on the other side and then spotted something I thought was rubbish but turned out to be the cache. The log is a soggy mess and I could only sign because I have a felt tipped pen. The bottom of the container is cracked and needs replacing. The back isn't doing the job. Replaced.
Thanks!
Thanks!
Found it quite easily, was out in the open. A lot of branches have been cut off from trees and workmen in the area so might of been disturbed, but has been camouflaged in the same place now.
Rain kept the muggles away but also got the better of me too. One for another day
Continued along the walkway/cycle path from Artarmon station.
The heavens opened so I took shelter under the very attractive bridge then dashed out for a quick find when I realised the rain wasn't stopping !!

Parked at the back of the "Bang & Olsen", short walk down the stairs and like the business upstairs, "bang! CIH. Quick smiley before work
As I was near the area decided to swing in and make the stroll down to this. Found after a short search, luckily I got a break from the walkers as this seems to be a busy track. Thanks Ness2101.
Missed Incinerator nearby but made a quick find here. Not really where the clue says but the coords are pretty good and hide should be easily spotted. Nice path and area, hid a GeGnome GA7889 not too far away.
Found it! Quite a tricky one to find! Using past activity logs really helped.
The hint was good and needs careful reading to gain its benefit. Next to the real GZ was a shrub with a bag hanging from it. I deided this was not the cache as it was a 'doggy doo' bag.
The log needs some attention and a new bag.

Soggy paper and moldy. We put in fresh paper. After about 20 minutes we almost quit with this one. On this cloudy day my GPSr was giving us very mixed signals and we were all over searching every bush in the area. We looked at the photos, but they weren't very helpful. But after looking at some of the earlier logs we sort have had a clue and went back to a previously searched area...this time found it in a piece of camo.FP for the challenge.
Found on a walk from St Leonards to Northbridge. This one is in a sorry state and needs a little maintenance. No log book so nothing to sign.
Found our first Geo Cache! Had difficulty finding it, but photos helped a lot.
Parked in a nearby street and walked into the park.
When we arrived at GZ we started to search in the most obvious spots and then scram;bled around in the bushes. Not many muggles around, we could both sign and replace without problem. Not sure sure for how long the cache container will stay.

Heading into the city today for the Stonefield gig tonight (it was great BTW) so grabbed two caches before parking the car and training in.
Pretty easy find on both - just what I needed so I could get in early and check out a few shops.
[center]END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION[/center]
Parked in a nearby street and walked into the park.
Got to GZ and saw there was a lot of potential spots the cache could be. Fortunately, it was in the fourth place checked - a little uncovered actually.
Took a short distance away to complete signing duties (damp but signable log), then replaced - hopefully with a little more cover. The muggles stayed away for the search, signing and replace, even though they were everywhere as I walked cachewards.

Found a way in, parked and walked to GZ. Spent a while looking, checking everywhere. GPSr finally led me the right way. TFTC.
A little easy and exposed however a quick find.
Perhaps some camo would be good!
Thanks. Nice bike ride.

This one frustrated the heck out of me, as I hate Lomandra even at the best of times. In the end I found the cache about 5m north of where my GPSr wanted me today. Nice location though.
Unfortunately we couldn't find and the fact that it was getting dark didn't help :/ gonna try again tomorrow
Found by kdawwwg of dacrew on a hella nice day Camo was a bit lame and i didn't have my geopen to sign the log book TFTC
C&K found it a while ago with EBunny, but A had an unsuccessful prior attempt before this find.
Left a pencil to assist future devoid of writing implement hunters.
I agree that the hiding spot is a bit lame. It was sitting in full view when I returned this morning to sign the log.

Struggling recently, but eventually found it just in time, now to sit under the bridge and hope the rain passes quickly.
Some great areas to explore around here, found $2 bags of organic limes around the corner at Ruth Street.

A close one to where we live. I couldn't find it but my 5 year old seemed to go straight for it. Lots of people exercising in the early evening. TFTC!
After finding “Dial M for Mater”, I caught a 273 bus to Garland Road and was soon at GZ for a quick find, though the cache was not quite where my GPSr took me.
Cute container, thanks Ness2101.

Needing a quick find for the day we headed over. It took a little longer to find and should be T 1.5 as we don't think someone sitting in a wheel chair could get it. Nice old sandstone bridge nearby. We completed the signing duties and re hid. TFTC
Stopped off on the way home from work for this one. Parked the geomobile at the Leisure Centre and first visited "Incinerator Take 3" before continuing on down the pathway to reach this cache.
A quick find thanks to the helpful clue. The wonderful historic old sandstone bridge, near GZ, was worth the visit alone. Thanks Ness2101 for bringing me to this location, and for the cache. TNLNSL.

Third time lucky - needed a calendar find for 21-1 and after 2 DNF this morning I came here to try for this cache and walk geodog.
Although this is quite close to home I didn't know these walking paths existed. I'm very impressed, pleasant bushland, quiet surrounds and level shady paths - just right for 13 year old geodog.
TFTC #925
The log book, well its no longer a book as its fallen apart. Maybe a future cacher can bring some sort of clip or staple to hold it all back together.

Found it thanks to KRS's coords, no pen - TFTC

Came here on a Saturday afternoon, was looking for a fair while, but I eventually found it
Hint: you need to do a bit of poking around

Thanks to KRS adjusted cords it was a quick find. No need to step off the grass. Just a bit of gentle peeking into the foliage should do the trick.
No Camo. Mellow Yellow.

It was a warm afternoon so rather than ride the bike all the way home I caught a train to Artarmon and detoured by here before heading west. I had been on the main bike path many times but this was an interesting diversion through an old looking stone drain tunnel. The cache took a bit of poking around - the log serves an interesting camo. TFTC Ness2101
