centenary drive troll Homebush West, New South Wales, Australia
By gullightly on 14-Oct-13. Waypoint GC4Q7K1

I am sure this cache is no longer here. I have looked before, and came back today with another very experienced cacher who found it before, and we both couldn't find it. CO please check on it.

Has gone missing and not for the first time time to go away

Could not find. Think may be missing.

Searched thoroughly but did not find as stated by last log

Could CO please check that this cache has not gone missing. I searched thoroughly but couldn't find it, and it hasn't been found since April!

Quick duck across to this one from the bushes series for a quick find. Tftc

Seeing a troll series caches we half expected it to be a mint tin from a certain hider but on closer look we saw it was from a different CO so suspected the hide might be different. The hide took a bit to spot and fortunately there were no muggles. Soon our initials were in the log and the hide replaced. TFTC

Tftc...on a very warm day...nice one..

We are all now enlightened with the find of the cache. These caches are almost impossible to open with a cast on your hand.
Thanks gullightly

Out with Brewmaker today finding some caches around Homebush and Strathfield. Took a little while to park the car and then he headed towards gz. Read the clue, but that didn't really help. We walked up and back constantly checking where the cache should be. We had our eye on one unusual object for a long time, but couldn't work out how that could be a cache, and it wasn't budging anyway. Then, when all seemed lost, I looked just beside that object and spotted the cache. Got the cache in hand with the help of an implement, and then got the log in hand with the help of another, and got the cache back in place with some physical activity. Phew. That was a task and a half. TFTC

Spent the afternoon OCW Mikev1. We found 10 out of 11 hides. This was #2 for the day.

Found a lucky car park space then entered the tunnel. Found the hint but not the cache. Tried some others but no find. About to give up when Mikev1 saw the camo and the sneaky find. Lucky he was with me , because there was no way a vertically challenged chap like me was going to grab it! Did the signing duties then Mikev1 took a leap of faith to replace it. TFTC

**Needing a Cache for the day to keep my streak alive, I looked at this little guy on the way to work. Nice little fella**

#756 Second of eighteen finds on a great day caching around Homebush West and South Strathfield.. Found after a short search. TFTC

Tricky little one, but not tricky enough. I found it.

#4786

We were in the area for the Gluten Free Expo at Sydney Olympic Park and decided to grab a few caches in the area afterwards. It was a lovely sunny Saturday.

This was our last cache for the day before heading back to Maitland. It took quite a time stuck in traffic to actually get a park. Luckily Mr C is tall and soon had the cache in hand. It them took us a hell of a lot longer stuck in traffic to get out of the area and past Sydney Olympic Park!

TFTC quillightly

Found it with Adarsh1489! Didn't take too long, since the clue is very 'enlightening'!

Should have stopped here ages ago- getting off Cententary drive there was a parking spot, then hop back on! The location of GZ was a bit of a surprise and hints all made sense- just took a minute to spot! TFTC!

Parking an absolute nightmare, took longer to find a spot than it did to find the geo.

Quick find, parking was a complete bitch though.

Visited this one on the afternoon walk home - wrong time of day!! too many muggles around and I was looking a little dodgy as I "aimlessly" loitered around!

Oh well!

Quick find with JordsAu

Found with morry9 late one night after an unsuccessful tilt at the First To Find of the 'Like a Duck to Water' Multi Cache over in Strathfield. Finding a parking spot here was harder than the cache itself. We parked at the service station around the corner on Parramatta Road and back tracked on foot to the pedestrian underpass. We found cute little mint tin, which we thought was the cache, but alas, it was empty. Shortly after, we had the Cache In Hand and performed the signing duties before returning the little blighter to its hiding position. Signed Log, Took Nothing Left Nothing. Thanks For The Cache gullightly.

Once we got to GZ it was a quick find thanks to the great hint, parking very difficult today. Found with Bluewattle, thanks gullightly & TFTC.

Found with joanneeg. Clever spot.

Nice easy park and grab. Signed log. TFTC.

Suggested parking area is not available, "no stopping" signs for the whole street, found with Snickersallan

First find

Lucky to find a close parking spot for a quick park and grab. Also lucky it meant I didn’t have to carry the small stepladder I’d come prepared with too far to be obvious and I could time the grab between muggles. Not giving anything away as it’s in the clue but unless you are over 6 foot, the terrain rating could be a little higher.

Oh so cute!

Only able to grab a couple of caches this weekend, because of so much to do around the house and then the huge storm yesterday afternoon. Today I have a long lunch to go to. But was able to grab this one before going. TFTC. #310.

I happened to be at the markets today for work so took a short stroll to GZ. I was thinking I would be under the roadway with rubbish strewn everywhere but to my surprise I discovered the path leading to the subway. It didn't take long before I found the pesky cache. Thanks for the hide.

Thank god skyejam have tools to retrieved it. nice hidden. thanks for leading us here.

What a trick! Good one! I found it with sevabo. TFTH

#541 on New Years Day it made a quiet day to attempt this cache so on the way back from the Sutherland area we stopped here to see if we could find it. At first I didn't see anything then alnic39 came down as well and he ended up going back to get some extraction tools from the car but then I spotted the cache and grabbed it and took it outside in the light to sign. It was harder to replace as I was a little bit challenged but got it back where I found it in the end. Thanks for the cache gullightly

phlphotos made the find while I went to the car to get some extraction tools!

I'd been meaning to get this cache for some time, and even driven on the road to get there but found that parking was a challenge. Well this time I thought I had it right but still got it wrong. I had to wait for traffic to ease so I could reverse back up the street and make it to the other side so I could park (thankfully there was one spot available). Walked in and got to the correct spot and it was indeed a sneaky little thing. Had to take it back to the car to extract the log safely. I actually had more trouble replacing but I made it! O-ring has perished but I don't think it will affect the integrity of the cache.

Tftc,
We went out this morning to do 1 cache and ended up doing 24. We have driven over this so often now and today was our chance to find it. Wondered how tall the CO is. That keeps my need for 2.5 plus every day on track.
Great day to be out and in the sun. Visited trackables.

Every time we drive this road Wazza9 says we will have to do that cache one day, well today was the day, I am glad he was with me as there is no way I could have stretched that far. Signed log and wazza9 replaced. Thanks to gullightly.

Missed the parking spot and had to drive round the block and walk through the park and cross the road to the GZ. Crossing that bit of road was extremely difficult. Almost enough to make me give up.
Anyway I waited and waited and waited and eventually there wasn't a break but enough to run between the trucks and cars and get across.
I hadn't brought my GPS, assuming it wouldn't work here. I didn't understand the hint but tried something and decided as it was the same from both ends it must be the spot.
Now I'm very vertically challenged but I had brought something with me to help. Twice a muggle walked through the tunnel while I was here and looked very suspiciously at me loitering here with my contraption and dashed off. The spot I'd chosen, well it was quite dark here and I thought it maybe looked different but then they all looked a bit different to each other and I couldn't see very well anyway. I reached up, just tall enough, and touched a few bits and found something!
Yay!! Went to the other side to do the signing then replaced the cache.
Very satisfying!! And on the way back I got across easily.
TFTC

Hiked through paddy's market, switched on gps and tried to find our way. I guess we were lucky because we found our way there and it didn't take himself too long to find it. Big excitement for us for our 600 find. Not much by some standards, but great for us. Many thanks for the cache

This was a nice and easy find with thanks to the great hint. Taking the right turnoff helped a lot also.
First to sign the new log.
Thanks for the cache.

I found it once I saw the light
TFTC

Thank goodness for iPhone torch and a leg up

Tftc

New cache in place. New hint

Will need to check

No luck for me so DNF. but will come back one day. Thanks

Watch Listing.

I found the near light but caches is missing.

I did not find during the daytime, I'll try again at night.

Parked in the street to the west and walked through the park to the underpass. Checked each of the likely hides until the cache was revealed. TFTC

Yep, found this one pretty easily, although I was concerned about repositioning (!!!!). Managed to do that, and was on my way. Thanks gullightly

Have been driving over this cache for months now, and with the chance to visit my mum, decided to go and grab it. Found a park and walked to GZ. Started searching and found soon after. SL and replaced. TFTC

Easy find TFTG

TFTC -BMF-

Trip trap trip trap. TFTC

Found it

I went in the night and it was another easy find.

A quck find on a mid-wek day when the area was deserted. This was perhaps just as well, as there was nobody around to observe the try-and-try-again replacement process which took way longer than the retrieval and log-signing did.

Troll was friendly and offered me a mint

No. 268

Nice easy find on the way to work. TFTC!

Our third visit to this charming tunnel.
Finding the cache is made rather easier by it being there..
Thanks Gullightly.

New hide same details

Second visit with GeoMax. Not many places to look, gps doesn't work in tunnel, have an idea what to look for but still can't see it.

Will review Monday morning

I live near this one and it's been gone for weeks.

Quick find with bigaye and JaayKayz (:

Been wanting to do this one for awhile n its done. Tftc.

With jasmine and jaay kayz.

Found it with bigAye and Jasmin

My first find! Right around the corner from my house

TFTC

met up with cass0wary and now im glad i did as i wouldnt have been able to retrieve it. TFTC

Nice drive by, had to park illegally for the quick grab. Thanks

Tftc!

hard to reach but got there in the end

Well this was a tricky one to get to! I eventually went down, then back up, Marlborough St and parked opposite. Using the hint it was a quick find. SL&R.

TFTC Gullightly!

Nice

We went to a magic show/circus courtesy of Rinsemesocks in the Olympic precinct this afternoon, so I put the bike in the back of the car and rode home for a gullightly tour. The weather was still warm at 4pm but a gentle noreaster made for a pleasant explore of this part of town.

First up was centenary drive troll, easy to spot and just within reach so the difficulty shold be rated as inversely proportional to your height.
Then south to Frank Zion's reserve, I was familiar with this place as it forms part of the bay to bay cycle route that heads down the Cooks River. A novel hiding technique I had not seen before.
I then headed north along that same route to Bill Boyce, the trickiest hide of the afternoon, the phone was more handy than the GPSr for this one with the satellite view coming in very handy. It took a few minutes.
I wondered if I could continue through the reserve to M4 Greenery but forget that, it is not possible, especially with a bike. This had only been only published today but there were already quite a few names in the log.
Onto Pomeroy St Crossroads where it took a few minutes due to the amount of possible places and the spot is quite exposed.
Lastly I went up to Queen rocks - they sure did back in the mid to late eighties at the Sydney Entertainment centre. Which was a great end to a great bike ride through the outer inner west:
I want to ride my bicycle
I want to ride my bike
I want to ride my bicycle
I want to ride it where I like
TFTCs Gullightly! Fave for Queen rocks RIP Freddie

Found myself on a bike, riding through the Flemington Markets. Eventually found the tunnel and made the find easily.

The hardest part about this cache was finding the entrance to the circuit road under Centenary Rd from Parramatta Rd (west bound)! The hunt for the cache was easy in comparison. Thanks.

1/12/13. 6:35 AM. Cache #1106. 2nd of 7 caches for the morning, most of which were gullightly's in the area between here and Rhodes. Headed over here from American Mega Barn and there were no spare spots in the designated parking. I followed the example of what a few of the locals had done in parking on the nature strip opposite.

Then headed down to the tunnel (assumed what I was looking for was a ceiling rather than a roof as searching the roof would be suicidal). Plus, it is a troll. Found what I wanted in little time & took it outside to sign. I saw it still had the working title name of "Flemington Markets Troll" written on it, but am sure this was the same one. Replaced it and continued on to Bill Boyce reserve. TFTC }:)

#2219- I was about to pass for this because the parking situation nearby was so bad. I did the unthinkable- no stopping- raced across the road with my height helper, signed and returned, luckily, before a police car came past. Thanks

Easy lunch break find, TFTC.

#230 (6 of 7 today)

Driving by and missed the parking spots. Went around the block & found parking opposite the park that is opposite GZ.

Quick find in a fairly obvious spot. Main issue was a few people walking past - and it was lightly raining! Luckily, no one around when I made the grab, only a short distance away for signing.

What a fun cache to get hold of! Cheers.

Third time lucky at 10;45pm keeping the streak alive. We missed it on the way through and found it on the way back.

TFTC.

Working in the markets so this was a short stroll over for a quick find in between muggle pedestrians.
TFTC 3944

Very hard to think up an excuse when interrupted by a muggle here! Doing an inventory on light bulbs perhaps?

OK. It's not bad to travel over 6,000 miles and be the THIRD to find! Got my attention as it was very close to the brewery. Good beer also.

Thanks.

You don't know how grateful I am that this notification came through when it did. I needed a cache find for today for my caching calendar, thought I'd pick an easy one up, after work , in the short amount of time before a doctors appointment but I failed and had to DNF. I got to my appointment and while waiting this cache notification came through as I checked my emails. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this was 1.2km from where I was sitting in a waiting room. The geocaching gods had answered my prayers and now I wouldn't have to battle the traffic and drive so far out of my way to find my cache for today. Appointment finished, I drove straight to GZ, didn't even need a GPS because I knew this street very well and where it would be located, even found a parking spot not 50m from GZ. The odd muggle wandered through and had to look carefully a few times before I spied the cache. The retrieval took some athleticism, my arms were not that long. An added bonus was the FTF, sometime close to 5.30pm. Thanks for the scratchie but I won't be quitting work, no luck there.

Received notification for this yesterday and checked last night before bed. No one has logged yet and FTF may still be up for grabs in the mourning.
Parked 30m from GZ and ventured in to have CIH quickly. Thanks Gullightly
Had my log mixed up earlier and had to delete that one.
