By CATONY on 29-Aug-13. Waypoint GC4M4WN

No longer live in the area so unable to do much needed maintenance.

Found it!Needs new container though

Enjoy 10000 STEPS series run around here for the day.
TFTC

Container cracked and full of water. Log book, thankfully, is still okay. This one needs some maintenance.

Cheers

TFTC, easy to find.
Container is cracked & open on side & contents are damp/wet, partic after rain we have just had
Team Lord!

Needs a new container. It looks like it had a fight with a wippersnipper and lost

Found with BenFish on our trip home from Tasmania. Cleverly hid, but no need to over search! Also, still in need of repair if you're in the right place. Tftc x

Much easier than first anticipated

Found it!!! So much fun. Our first one!

Yay! So much fun!

Down in Sydney for a school reunion. Walked right pass this one, so a quick stop and grab. Container has a large crack in it tftc

Quickly located between light showers, the container is broken and will need to be changed. TFTC

Second find. Quite quick.

easy and fun

Nice

Second for the day with Geokid3.
After a previous DNF a few months ago, we returned in the light and were able to find easily.
The cache container is broken but dry.
Took TB.
Will return with a new container.
TFTC.

Little wet inside dried it a bit

Found 1st June with Irvaky (just updating my app)

6199 Caches Found

Rumbled down the thin black line late last night through the Big Smoke towards the Sunderland Shire and uncharted Territory to try my hand at finding a few caches there in the cool of the dark. Thanks to all who made my evening memorable, Thanks for the adventure

Thanks for the great cache CATONY(8D)

Took us 2 trips through the park, plus the hint, to find the cache. Third one found today on my first ever geocache trek. With friend AT, not a gc-er, yet.

The log book and the plastic baggie are a bit damp. No pencil in the cache any longer, so make sure you bring your own.

Found after 30 minute search in all the difficult places. Think simple and easy to get to. No need to leave the path like I did! There was also a freak rain storm for 10 minutes in which my umbrella was in the car for. Thankfully after that I was able to continue searching

Nice quick grab. I like the coverage from the road. Though just as I was walking away someone walked past. 30 sec earlier I could've been sprung. Tftc

Last one in the series while walking from Sutherland station to Gymea station.

Yay! After a DNF earlier this year (oh how I hate these prickly plants), this was a win.
Now I never have to worry about this trail anymore. Left the WA Love TB to celebrate.

Thanks for the trail, hope you have a good life!

The first part of our 6-week-journey in Australia took us from Sydney to Melbourne and also led us to this hiding place. Container and logbook is wet.

Thanks for hiding it

So I'm starting this walk today from here in reverse order.. It's now 12:53 let's see how long it takes the walk 10000 steps. TFTC

Australia and a few cache attend this trade for a smiley. Thanks for the nice round, so I could get to know the area better.

Very spiky.

Found the cache together with a handful of cobwebs as a bonus treat! Thank you for the cache - Moorhelmi

Must get some gloves to add to my kit. Took a little while but got it eventually. TFTC

found this one thanks to the GeoBro cuz I had completely overlooked it! I must be losing my touch! TFTC

Last one for us bar the seemingly missing #17.

Many thanks for a great series

Very wet and dirty conditions glad I had gloves
TFTC

How to make a Dutchman unhappy: these kind of plants. Enough for today, AFK home.

TFTC

This was very well hidden with the extra camo doing a great job. This find completes the series for me so thankyou for putting such a great series together Catony. I drive part of the route almost daily which always evokes the memories of particular finds

Not just spikey (pointy) but knife-edge sharp! Got a few paper-cuts from those blades where retrieving the cache.
TFTC CATONY ... on to #17.

Hard to get a parking spot around here. Got to GZ and the heavens opened up so with nowhere to hide I searched on and finally found.
Spikey bushes are not my cup of tea. But I like ones next to lamp posts.

TFTC

Ironbark.

Reperio at 1625.

After attending an event in Wollongong earlier, I was headed home to Newcastle when I decided to make a short detour to find a few caches in the series. I arrived at GZ and was just about to search when a muggle appeared along the footpath. Abandoned the search until they were far enough, and then headed back to start again. After repeating this process 6 times...I finally laid my hands on the cache.

Gratias CATONY.

Very well hidden. I think the rain helped add some more leaves . Great hide. Found with Beckatoza

Out at night to collect a few and we could not find it. Checked a few 'clue places' but no luck.
Will return when it's light.

I came at night and I'm pretty sure I got every prickle in every bush I touched. But it was all good and I finally found it. TFTC.

Accurate coordinates and the hint led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks for the cache Catony.

Final spurt to complete the series. Cache was soon in hand. TFTC CATONY

Really out in the open.. Signed log & tried to conceal better, bush next to spikes tree..

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

walked down and spotted it
tftc

We parked as directed and I walked back to GZ. The cache was not really hidden so I logged and tried to conceal it better, but this was not easy given the location. Thanks for the hide.

Currently we are not in a position to do mainanance on our 10000 steps series, can the next finder please dry the container & replace the bag and or log book if they need replacing please, it would be much appreciated.
Cheers from CATONY.

Yebo, being in kirrawabee is further from Sutherland than originally intend, but this series is too tempting.... Sl tnln tftc

I had the day in Sydney for work but that didn't stop me grabbing a few caches in the early morning or after I'd finished my work commitments.

I grabbed these few around Sutherland as I headed up. Having one eye on the many muggles that were out exercising or heading to work just heightened the thrill of the chase.

After waiting for a muggle to pass it was quickly in hand.

Thanks

Enjoyed walk through Kirawee. If the Thai restaurant had been opened I would have stopped.

Nice quick find and my first if this series TFTC. Found with niinha

Thanks great cache

First cache! Found with Jgk92

Found with Bradelms.took us longer then it should of. 1 down 17 to go in 10000 steps TFTC

easy find not a muggle anywhere

Gotcha !!! TFTC

Found.... Very hard... But fun

I've been past this bush before when I was a muggle and never realised the secrets it held! Little brother found the right spiky bush. A couple walked past us. They thought I had picked up a cigarette! Well, at least the geocache is still in secret!
~The Hoppin' Hothams

Good hint, good hide!

Tftc

another find. TFTC

TFTC found with Percita. So close to the finish!

No more traffic and no more muggles around made this a nice straightforward find for Gentleman Assassin and I! TFTC!

We have often driven past this one but never stopped. Today geoson was out caching with Cooriengah when they made the find. Took a lot longer to locate this cache than it should have. TFTC

Up from Canberra visiting the family for the holidays...so why not take advantage of top weather and spend the day on a geomission around The Shire?

No joy for me here due to muggles about. This will be another one I'll find on a night time run when I'm up next time

#714.15 1313hrs - nice quick find on a well used path. Quick grab, write, look both ways and replace, no problems.

On Boxing day, I found all of the 10000 steps caches. Had an amazing day, and a lot of walking
Thanks for a great series! Best regards from Denmark

Done

Picked a 33 degree day to come do this trail. Easy find. Tftc

found it with Dogboy_56 on a 33 degree day this one was an Easy find.

I almost gave up and realized I had to look just a bit further. I'm glad I did as I then found the cache. SL TFTC. Greetings from Arizona.

Oh that spiky bush. Plenty of spiky bushes in this park!

The GZ is very trampled at the moment making it an easy find. Be mindful of the environment future cachers! Thanks CATONY

12 out of 13 so far and this is my last for today as must get back home. Decided to take the long way home to Canberra from my work visit to the big smoke. Saw the 10k steps and wished I had time to walk instead of driving by. But still a very enjoyable side trail.

Had to fake sickness for onlookers but an easy find. Best at night.

Got this one one the way to a family lunch. Nice area. TFTC.

TFTC CATONY,
What a great afternoon to undertake the 10,000 steps series. Attacked it with Muggle friends and nana nel. Made #16 our starting point at 1:45PM and worked in an anti clockwise direction.
Visited a group of trackables to get some excercise. The inside of the cache was wet (now dry) but the log was OK.

Started 10,000 steps series at this one, I forgot the pedometer so I am not sure how many steps we walked. Found with Wazza9 and geofriends. TFTC

Geocaching is harder in the dark! Sick one!

Watch the spikey bush!!

Found. Contents a bit wet. Log book dry thou

Another great find while touring around from cache to cache.

A quick find between showers on this wet & muggle-free Sunday.

Cheers,

Another easy find thanks Catony

Walked my 10,000 steps today on a lovely day. Thanks for a great little series.

Second find for the day.

Easy find. Tftc.

Nice little park. Have Seen this park re designed 3 times. Still no one uses it. I guess cachers will now. Thanks

Found it!

TFTC!!! very spikey!! Easy to find. Signed the logbook and swapped items

So prickley!!

Quick and easy, but very prickly! TFTC.
