first time Sydney cache. tftc

Nice little green space area, tftc

Happy to correct this DNF with what was seemingly a much easier cache replacement; signed the log and replaced as found; TFTC!
 
24-Feb-24
Great hint is pretty simple with the hint, but without the hint, you may struggle a bit.
 
24-Feb-24
Pretty easy to find overall.
 
21-Feb-24
Yay

Quite a lot of options where this cache could have been, but found in due timeTFTC
 
19-Nov-23
DNF can't tell where it could be
 
23-Sep-23
Found it! What a fun location Smile 1st of the replacement!
 
17-Sep-23
Coordinates changed from:
S 33° 52.324 E 150° 54.924

Coordinates changed to:
S 33° 52.378 E 150° 54.925

Distance from original: 328.7 feet or 100.2 meters.

The original location has been savagely pruned, the cache is gone, and there are no spots worthy of a cache hide there anymore. I have moved the cache location 100m south to another group of trees.
 
16-Sep-23
This and nearby caches likely gone due to heavy pruning. I’ve flagged CO today but noted other notes from DNFs over the last few months. Hence I’m flagging these for Reviewer Attention
 
16-Sep-23
I will check the area tomorrow, and if it is indeed missing I will try to replace it.
 
26-Aug-23
No luck
 
04-Jul-23
They’ve been doing some tree lopping in the area (photo for evidence), and the cache hasn’t been found in 4 months; I doubt the cache is still there. Can the CO come and check on this please?
 
05-Feb-23
After collecting the majority of the Fruit salad series, I headed over here to have a pick at this. Made quick find here.
Thanks again Mr Rainbow.

Found it although there were a lot of spider webs. TFTC

Nice tricky hide. Signed and replaced. TFTC
 
14-Aug-22
After 10 mins we finally found it!! Camo indeed!
 
28-Jun-22
Found it. So cool
 
28-Jun-22
Found it so awesome
 
30-May-22
Some webs to go through, but got there in the end. Some litter led me to the item.
 
13-Mar-22
Despite the rather large spider web blocking the best entry point, I persisted and signed the log sheet. Thanks.
 
12-Jan-22
Gotcha thanks
 
09-Jan-22
A nice find early this morning. TFTC.
 
01-Jan-22
DNF Revenge achieved! Finally I can tick this one off. OCW EverestHigh and Zelda the geodog.
I noticed that the last two online log names were not on the log sheet! TFTC
 
01-Jan-22
Glad to find this one after a DNF on another Pot of Gold cache. OCW Brewmaker. TFTC Rainbow Spirit
 
Very fun but a bit difficult
 
21-Aug-21
Camo found it
 
11-Aug-21
That was tough. GPS was bouncing but I had a fair idea what area but where?!

With the theme of this cache amongst all this camo, I was doomed.

I was looking for the tell-tale sign of the cache's leash coupled with the help of a fellow cachers log, I shuffled into an area and before the moon came out I found it.

Yikes.
This would've taken me forever! Great spot though.

Signed, replaced

07-Aug-21
Really not sure what I’m looking for, ie what kind of container. Wearing sunglasses sure didn’t help in the shadows
 
03-Jul-21
Pretty quick!

Rainbow Spirit I found your cache Pot of Gold PT, Indigo 2 on 24/4/21, 11:55 am. This is my find 3143 and find # 3 today. Almost gave up until I saw something out of place. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN
 
28-Feb-21
Following the trail but not having much luck today.
 
30-Aug-20
This one took a while. Used the same strategy as previous finder. Thanx
 
30-Aug-20
Took longer than it should to find. Cache nr 7 on this lovely Sunday. TFTC
 
07-Jul-20
We couldn’t find it on the first pass and the hint wasn’t really helpful. I suggested we have another look on the way back and spotted the item holding it in place. Surprisingly!
 
07-May-20
Good to go again
 
07-May-20
Cache replaced, new hint

Hi Rainbow Spirit,

This cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, only to discourage people from visiting this location until this cache may be addressed.

**Please note that caches disabled during the current COVID19 crisis you will be given some extra time to react as we recognise that CO's can't just pop out and fix the issue,** geocache maintenance can wait. Once the acute threat of pandemic is over, I will remind you about your cache needing attention.

Should you feel it safe for you to maintain and address this cache now, AND your regional Health and Governmental authorities allow it, please feel free to do so. However, I would like to assure you I will not be archiving any caches which the cache owner does not currently feel safe to maintain.

I'll pass by in about another 45 days and hopefully this will all be over.

Ministro - Matt
 
13-Apr-20
lol we have no clue where to look
 
14-Sep-19
Not sure it's still here.
 
04-Aug-19
Searched and searched but no results today.
 
04-Aug-19
We gave this one 2 goes. Once going up the powertrail and again on our way back to the car. We were unsuccessful on both. Our second DNF of the day. Maybe next time.
 
19-Jul-19
Out today to find finger print clues for the Mystery at the Museum.
Unfortunately no luck here. It is 6 months since the last log. Don't know whether anybody has tried to find it, or they haven't logged their DNFs. Rainbow Spirit, could you please check and report if it is still there.
Thanks.
 
13-Jan-19
Found it! First of 2019.

Clue: I like to wear camo it’s definitely my style. Leaves are ok but nothing like the pile’s
 
13-Jan-19
Found it!!!


Clue: roses are red violets are blue, I'm amongst the litter, how's that for a clue
 
31-Dec-18
Nothing for us after looking at all the regrowth for 30 minutes. Missing maybe?
 
20-Aug-18
Yay got it!

Pretty easy find found with beesechurger

Almost had to leaf this one behind.
Then spotted something.
Great camo.
Thanks for the cache

Thanks for the cache

OCW marj01 to tackle the twentyone caches in the Power Trail series along Orphan School Creek. We made an early morning start and did the series in the reverse order to the CO's numbering. A lot of time was spent examining casuarina trees looking for very well camouflaged caches. Of the twentyone caches we found fourteen of them with four dnf's; we didn't attempt the other three caches as they already had a string of dnf's. Thanks for the series Rainbow Spirit and the company marj01.

Very good camo Smile

Trying to get to my 1900 milestone as I have a special cache in mind but I still have 20+ to go so decided to target this PT.

Zooming along on the bike making up for lost time. Another quick find although not quite where the iPhone was pointing.

Nicely crafted camo on this one as I move along the Power Trail.

I can’t see a single muggle in this area of the Italians today !

Located at 4:41pm. Nice and easy find whilst out about Sydney hiding my own caches. Спасибо! תודה! TFTC!

18-Jul-17
Another easy one, but another one easy to miss too. TFTC.
 
02-May-17
Back for this one today and thankfully there were no muggles around. Co-ords are spot on so made a quick find with Mr geo1 talking to the sky using my pen as a microphone. This find gives me my 17 year anniversary souvenir! TFTC!
 
23-Apr-17
When you are not persistent enough with the first place you search, then go jump around to other regrowth then back to first then shake your head in disbelief and annoyance at your self.
Bah ...
Still I tftc
 
21-Apr-17
Didn't get a chance to look for this one as there was muggles sitting on the bench.
 
19-Mar-17
Took in the hint and there were several places to look, just had to persist on looking and I soon had CIH. I've being wanting to do series of caches for some time now and with the rain falling, this gave me the opportunity to test out my new wet weather gear. A great day of Caching on the bike along this trail. With a couple DNF's, Muggles standing at GZ, water everywhere and some nice challenging caches to find. I would recommend this trail to all caches. Thanks Rainbow spirit for a fun afternoon.
Cheers

I had the rain to contend with at this point of my journey, as well as a couple of women walking. Luckily GZ offered a bit of shelter from the rain, so it didn't look sus that I had parked my bike and was waiting under the trees. I like these camos. Probably because I can find them!!!
 
26-Feb-17
Love the camoflauge. Definitely worth the higher difficulty
 
15-Feb-17
Nice como and good hint. 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.
 
19-Dec-16
Lots of re-growth but eventually spied the hiding with Happy Jackie. Flies are everywhere.

Teamed up with Seemyshell today to ride the power trail and grabbed lucky #13 along Orphan School creek. Getting to know the CO's style with some varied finds. A great cycle trail as well.

Thanks for the series Rainbow Spirit and the company Seemyshell.

**Had a free day today, and not wanting to waste it, I called upon Pipes Down Under for a cycle ride, and power trail. Great job on this trail Rainbow Spirit.**

A quick and easy find once all the muggles had stopped walking past...

Another find on our bike ride

Spotted this one straight away. Had a feeling this one would be safe. This is the nicest section of the cycleway at present, neat and clean.

Took a long time. Had an idea what I was looking for and I was certain of the right location, yet I could not find it. Master Q was getting restless and just as we looked one more time on the other side, I spotted it on the ground. Master Q helped with the signing duty's and I replaced where I think it belongs.

Top cache! A great series. Tftc RS.
 
25-Apr-16
On recommendations of a caching couple I met at an Event, came out for a day-visit to the series of caches along the Orphan School Creek. This is 10th of 20 for the day.

25-Mar-16
Once we were looking at the correct angle, we spotted it, thanks.
 
01-Mar-16
New container and log, same coords, different hint.
 
30-Jan-16
Can owner please confirm and check? Tree the GPS led us to has been cut down I think. Ta
 
24-Dec-15
As per previous log, there area has seen quite a few trees lopped. I wonder if the cache went with them. I checked the ground, but found nothing.
 
08-Nov-15
No luck here. The trees have been cut down and without a find in so long we feared the worst
 
30-Jul-15
30/07/15. 1:09 PM. Cache #2753. Streak day #403.
4th of 10 finds for the afternoon.

After redeeming a couple of past DNFs in the eastern rainbow (Blue 3 & Orange 3), I returned to the car (parked near Yellow 3) and moved it to near Green 2. From there, I walked all the way down to Violet 2, past this one, only to discover it was still fenced off.

On my first pass, I saw a muggle was sitting near GZ at the bench, with a heli-drone at his feet and reading the manual. As I walked back from Violet 2, I hoped he had gone, otherwise I was going to be muggled out here. He walked off, drone in hand, just as I was getting closer and set it down on the oval to get it flying.

Luckily, this meant I was now free to search here. Once I was in the thick of things, the hint made sense, and it was simply a case of trying them all. After a while, I made the find. There was water in the outer container, but luckily the inside of the inner container - and more importantly the log - was dry. Signed, replaced and walked up to Blue 2. TFTC.

All the cobwebs made this interesting but we decided to stick with it until we spotted the cache. Then we unstuck the webs from skin and hair. TFTC.
 
14-Feb-15
Great hide. Watch for spiders
 
14-Feb-15
Yay!!
 
14-Feb-15
Too Many spiders
 
01-Feb-15
That's been our longest search on the pot of gold pt today, but found after a process of elimination. More orb spiders here, so most of the searching left to geodad, tftc xo
 
20-Jan-15
Today we went for a drive and visited many nice parks.
We were not only looking for caches but also found many nice hidden spots.

Thank you for showing us all those nice spots.

With the rest of our caching group retiring due to the heat, Aries 44 and I carried on with the series.

Very apt hint on this one!
