Could see Sydney but no cache unfortunately

this is the 4th cache of ours missing today so definately not replacing

Quick park a grab while in the area.
Thanks to The Booos for the cache.

A return visit to this part of the world today, and the second time I've been to this location ... last time there was a stop/go man at GZ.

A quick find today and was delighted to see that it wasn't the nano mentioned in the listing, but rather a bison. Unfortunately, however, the log sheet is pretty full and showing enough wear and tear to be in need of replacement.

Thanks for showing me this great view Booos.

Found It!
A quick find here in the rain. Needed to use some pliers to get the cache opened.

A quick find on my way home from Burragorang lookout. TFTC.

Easy find. Once upon a time you could see Sydney quite plain from this spot.Not so easy now, a lot of smog. TFTC

The hunt continued around this area to put some more smileys on the map along with ilook4geo. This was another nice easy find. Many thank go to The Booos for placing this cache.

Some more caches found around this area when we came along with goingplaces2. Had a good day and found what we wanted, just missing some for various reasons. Log signed and replaced. TFTC.

Done

Found it just . Neat little spot .

Nice quick find after parking along side it . Lovely views from here TFTC

A tough one to sign for my 500th cache! A stunning view. Thank you!

On my way back home from seeing some family and it’s starting to get late, making it the perfect time to attempt this one. I’ve scouted this many times as driving by but have never had a good opportunity until now. I made my way close to the marker and parked the geomobile safely away from the road. A good spot here at night as any traffic coming through is easily noticed from a distance away. Searching around I soon spotted what I was looking for and had CIH quickly. I signed the log and replaced. Yes this would be a tricky one in the day though. TFTC The Booos!

Great view but was unable to find cache.

Sneaky hide, spotted the camo on approach. Very distant views to the city, nice. Last cache for today, wearily headed home.

Really behind on my logs and only just catching up, sorry for any generic type logs!

Was looking for a quick find for my daily streak today and this one looked promising. I parked closer to the lookout section of the road and walked up to GZ, hoping the few cars that passed woudn't notice me as I searched. Luckily, I made a quick find and was able to get my initials in before heading on my way. Thanks for the smiley and the great views!

Nice view over sydney from this spot. Reminds you about how high The Oaks is actually.

Thanks to The Booos

Second find of the day whilst out with the dog. I removed this one very carefully bc it was a similar cache to one of my first finds that I dropped ??? and took a while to get out. Road was pretty busy but having a dog with you makes you look less suspicious

Tftc. Well hidden

Thought we’d take a Sunday drive to The Oaks. Number 7 find for the day with lots of muggles around. Found with Gundrills, KnightJR and Panda_Girl65 (signed G, K, M & P). TFTC

Out for a day of caching with Geofam. on a nice sunny Sunday. Stayed in car while geowife had a look while timing the traffic. After finding nothing we tag teamed and it was my turn. With a good idea of what to look for found the little tell tale and quickly had in hand. TFTC>

A clever hide, thankfully I've seen a few of these now and was able to make a quick find. Great views indeed! Tftc!

Another fairly quick one as we toured around town today. Certainly the end of a bit of a plateau here. TFTC!

Nice spot, tftc!

Found

A little more time to search today! Found and in good condition. Something a little different

Couldn’t find...

Clever hiding spot! Love love love !

Good one

Thanks to The Booos for placing and maintaining this cache.

Afternoon drive cache grabbing.
TFTC The Booos

I needed to get out of the house last week so I wouldn't go nuts and needed some peace and quiet... Out to the west!

TFTC. More views, always welcome.

Found it. Great view from GZ. TFTC

Found. Tftc

Found it

Didnt have a pen

Without a device but with some knowledge gleaned from logs since my DNF 2 years ago, I had two places to check and it was at the second.
TFTC

Beautiful day to see the view

Look like damage by car hit, took us searched, no nano there..
CO need maintenance..

Dnf with 63Roos

Not long after pulling up (about as long as it took us to walk to GZ from our parking spot 6m away) a car pulled up, we asked if they were here for the same reason we were and the lady started talking to us about the view, turns out they were not geocachers at all. Offered to take their photo so they’d head on their way, which they did, at which point geoboyfriend laid his hand on the gold here as the gold light from the sunlight stopped reflecting off the city windows. Sweet view indeed!

Wow what a view. TFTC

Wow what a view, nice hide. TFTC

Nice and easy, not what we were expecting eating though TFTC

Using my geosenses I found this in next to no time. Very busy. TFTC

Out cache with oldmorty on a big day. This one of many caches we found along our travels. Thanks to all the cache owners for maintaining their caches

Out today for a day’s caching with marj01, no bush bashing, just park and grab. After heading off pre-dawn from the eastern suburbs we visited the towns of Wallacia, Warragamba, Narellan, The Oaks and Nattai. Lots of caches were found; on the ground, dangling in trees, on signs, in stumps and even one in a haunted house. Whilst most of the caches were familiar we did strike some very ingenious ones. A large percentage of the finds were quick, however, there were some that had us scratching our heads for a while. All in all, it was a very enjoyable day out and I would like to thank all the CO's of the caches for hiding and maintaining the caches that we visited. And yes, I did read the reason/history for each cache in the lead up to the trip.

Found -- 3:56:00 PM -- Thanks for the hunt and Thanks for bringing us here to this location The Booos.

**Cache Condition:** Cache good.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Nothing.
**Trackables:**

**The Cache**
Logged cache with out initials. I found this cache with *DustyJapserJet* and *Little Kitten*. Drove right past this cache when we were here two weeks ago. Wasn't about to u-turn. Made sure I marked GZ in my sights on this occassion. Made a quick find due to this type of hide being seen before. Lovely view through the haze and the Bellbirds are just beautiful. I guess you'd get pretty sick of them if you lived here.

**The Day**
OCW *Little Kitten* and *DustyJapserJet*. We have hardly been out over summer as it was just too hot and other things took over our days also. So this was the second day, other than the OZ GeoMuster, that we have had a full day caching when I had decided to begin by cleaning up strays. I had not completed the Burragorang Road series so that was the target and then to swoop on the surrounding area - accomplished. We got home in the dark. The weather was fantastic today but as expected turned colder tonight.

15 = 11 2 2 [8)] ½ attempted.

***Respect peoples caches - money, time and effort that has gone into them.***

???? Found with *Throsbyonchurch* and *DustyJasperJet*. Signed log. Thanks for the hide. ????

Found with *Throsbyonchurch* and *Little Kitten*. Signed log. Thanks for the hide.

sneaky little thing! was looking forever only to find it was right in front of us the whole time! TFTC

this had us stumped. then looked next day and there it was right under our eyes.
Chrissy61 & Ellyse04 what a great day. TFTC

Out with Ellyse04 & Unicorn8 (geogranddaughters)this one had us stumped at first .....but looked at it a different angle... TFTC

Cache #250! And what a frustrating cache it was! Was actually looking in the right spot the whole time...just had to use a different way of finding it!! SL TFTC!!

Nice spot! Should definitely not have taken that long to find! Great finish to the day and 250 caches for mbyrne26

Tftc, very clever.

Found with nissan 65 on a day trip caching. Beautiful day off work. Thankyou for the cache .

Found with cullum 68 on a few days off work thanks for the cache

Found with Liflre

Just has I was coming into The Oaks I stopped here to do this cache, I was looking for about 5 minutes when a muggle was walking behind where the cache and decided to sit at the seat. I decided to leave and come back after some lunch. Found it eventually after lunch and when I was heading home.

Loved this one. Took longer than it should have but no giving up.

A quick park and grab. Tftc

Out and about with Happy Uke again today trying to grab some nogood caches hiding in and around Oakdale. And we were not disapointed!

We have not been up this way for more years than I care to remember.

Thanks

Since the wind had finally died down and the glorious sun was shining, a caching raid of The Oaks area was organised. Great caches and fantastic company. Finalf29 and I ended up finding twenty in the afternoon.

This was our nineteenth for the arvo. Wonderful view. Needed to check ALL hide spots... Finalf29 found it in the one place I hadn't looked. Thanks

TFTC! It's been too long since we've been caching, so took a little drive this afternoon hoping for just one quick find. Great views out to the city on this clear (almost) Spring day - would be great at night! Took a little longer than it should have, but still found it relatively quickly. Thanks for another fun find The Booos!

With a great view today a nice easy find TFTC

Tftc. Nice and easy find

Found at 1.50

Nice ease find.

TFTC

Killing time between my sons football games... GPS was mucking up on this one so put it away, used clues from other logs and quickly found it. The tall trees are starting to block some of the view but still beautiful on a day like today. TFTC

Fun PAC & C&E

Found it!

Look about but it was dusk and not much could be seen but a great view. Next time I guess

Took a while but eventually found it. Was not happy about putting my hands in spider holes though. Tftf

Well what do you know... MaWaHaHaHa wouldn't leave until it was found. Very clever. TFTF

#3994 (15 of 15 today)

The Geowife is amusing herself today, so I decided to binge on caches. Decided to head towards Oakville and The Oaks to try to grab a swathe of caches. Got 15, but interestingly the closer I got to The Oaks the more the the DNFs piled up.
Closing in on 4000 finds. Time to pick a target, but not today...
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
This took ridiculously long, especially given I'd found two other identical hides already today.
But I was walking around and around for 10 minutes before I finally spotted it. My fingers must also have just missed it more than once.
Very embarrassing.

Completed signing duties and replaced.
Definitely tie for home.

Found this cache at 1.20pm while in the area picking up some caches. The view from here would be worthy of a real lookout.
Thanks The Booos for the hide.
The Bushies.

Log replaced

Log is full, needs replacing.

#4,867

The girls found this while I was looking on the other side. It was a bit high for them, so the Imp lifted up Monkey Girl to get it, then they waved it in front of me to get my attention.

Log is full, we wrote sideways, in a little patch of white.

Thanks

Looks like its been hit from the other way,dont know how someone could do that,found the cache ok
TFTC

Another good cache and find. TFTC

Yes, there is a nice view. Thanks for your hide

No success today but when I now look at the geo map I may have been on the wrong side of the road.

Seeing more of this method so quicker find than it could have been if I’d actually stuck to the out of date (?) hints about container size. Log sheet full but managed to squeeze my name in over some old entries.

Second visit to this one and on both occasions the GPS wanted me at the fence line. Read some previous logs and I was back where I originally thought it would be. Spiders/webs were the key words. I used the video on my phone to peer down holes...and there it was! TFTC

Tftc!

I didn't put my hands in the webs so AWTYOW had to do it! TFTC

We overshot this spot on the way out of town last time. This time I was ready... However geo-gangstas was not ready for spider webs and his apprehension led to my find. Too slow geo-gangstas! TFTC!

05 September 2016 07:34:37 And my I say that I really stood back and enjoyed the view from this location. OK I hate cut and paste logs so will try my best
to add a little something different to each log
I post. Code 1 and myself were out on our annual
caching run weekend. So some of our logs read
both names but to save room on micros and nano’s
etc we used CJ1.
Like most of our past trips a little homework
was needed to work out a suitable location,
route and to build lists and PQs, with this done
and set we found our self’s in the Camden
location. A great range of finds and styles were
located with a great deal of questioning over
some of the posted difficulties and terrains.

Found on a lovely Sunday geocaching adventure with Falling_Rock. TFTC!

Nothing is as it seems when caching. This one made my tail wag when I found it! TFTC

Found on a weekend invasion of my old romping ground with JAB's.
It's crazy to see how much the area I grew up in has changed over the years.
Quick find and some nice views.

Find 5069 logged from c:geo.

Excellent views lots of bell birds.

Found it

Nice little hide. Tftc. Found with leo and jkcourtz

A very busy road! Guessed where it should be but it took some scanning to see a tell tale sign. Took back to the car to sign and returned. TFTC
