Nice and quiet in the park by the time I visited. A relatively quick find, TFTC!!

Gosh what a beautiful park! Disappointed that I didn't have more time to spend here while visiting the area.Not too many Muggles on this overcast day.TNLNSL.TFTC ...

Tankengine, Youban and I headed towards home today. The airbnb was comfortable enough. The bed was good, the fan nice and cool, but the neighbours and the busy road made it not so peaceful. This cache: Quick find. Nice park. Pretty little spot to relax in. Tftc!!!

Chooo ooo [Found] with youban and dty73 on a quick trip to Sydney! Thanks bustaraff!

Out with Tankengine and Dty73 around Camden picked up this one in the park. Kutgw

A nice quick find while completing Adventure Labs Bower bird nest near GZ.

Found quickly in a very obvious hiding spot. TFTC!

TFTC found with grandsons Nathan and Brendan easy find

Found.Cache well-hidden inside hides hole. Had to poke around a bit for it. Not so serene in magpie-attack season! True, theyre not as prolific here as down near the rose garden, but Ive had a couple eyeing me off up here. Fortunately they are more interested in food at the moment than in dive-bombing me. TFTC

Oh man, this took waaaay longer than it should have. Looked and looked and looked again!! Gave up, sat down, tried to get some info from previous logs. "An easy find" is not helpful!!! Reorganized and tried again, oh, wow what's that sound!!! Ah, finally, signed, sealed and rehid!!Such a beautiful garden and well kept and clean.Tfth dictaham and clan

We found it!!

We are on a short (three day) caching holiday in and around Camden, staying for two nights in a park cabin at the Poplar Tourist Park in Elderslie. Hoping to collect some previously solved Mystery/Puzzle caches, complete some Adventure Labs, and find as many different cache icon types as we can to go towards this month’s "Wheel of Challenges" souvenir chase. The homeward journey will be via Galston, where we have pre-booked tickets for the Sunday running of the Hornsby Model Engineers Galston Valley Model Railway. Photos will be uploaded to some (most) logs on our return to home base.

Today (day 2) we started with a walk around Camden's Bicentennial Equestrian Park to collect some caches, followed by a brief visit to Camden Airport for a MultiCache, before heading into Camden's Town Centre for an Adventure Lab and some shopping. After lunch we took a stroll down through Wetlands Reserve and Kings Bush Reserve for another Adventure Lab and some other caches, before going for a loop drive around Cawdor Road, Burragorang Road, and the Old Hume Highway to collect some more caches. This was the 27th of 27 finds for the day (day 2), and 48th find of the holiday.

This one was next on our loop drive, and it was a quick & easy find on arrival at GZ. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found. It looks like a nice park with some interesting features, but it's getting dark now so no time to explore it any further on this trip. This is our last cache for today, so time to head back to the cabin for the evening. TFTC bustaraff.

Find #6292

Cannot find this one. We have searched 4 times and haven’t had any luck? This one says it’s an easy find

In the area picking up a few hides. This was such a beautiful and tranquilly park.
Lots of little places to sit and ponder as the world goes by.
Thanks bustaraff for the hide.
Left a pathtag

Great find! Thanks

Found it! Thanks for the cache. Great place for a picnic. Peace out ️

Here for the Ad lab so grabbed this after a short search. Found a likely spot & there it was.

Didn’t take long to find this one. In the area doing the ad lab. Tftc

Me and my bro and my mum were searching in the little garden until found it!

Found! Made my way to GZ trusting the coords, then they started jumping around, so I looked around at where would be a good hidey hole and woohoo there it is! Very first spot I looked. Thanks!

Nice hide again a quick find in a well looked after park

OCW Martin Cousins and Brewmaker in the Camden area. A reasonably quick and easy find. TFTC bustaraff.

Our first traditional find of the day, as a lorikeet watched us. Thanks for the find in this nice park

Challenged myself to get out and find a cache tonight, and realised there was a cache in Macarthur Park I'd somehow never done, so headed over.

Note for future cachers: navigating this section of the park isn't easy in the dark, especially if you're constantly afraid you'll run into spiderwebs.

I spent most of my time here trying to get to ground zero, and thinking I couldn't see any likely hiding locations that previous logs had mentioned. But I persisted and when my GPS finally said I was only one metre away, I realised what the hide was.

After signing the log, I then fought my way out of the terrible spider forest (okay, it only felt a bit like that ), and looked back to realise there were lots of those 'hides' around, visible from this new angle. Doh.

My advice: do this when there's still decent light to see by, or bring a better torch than my phone!

Initially had trouble deciding where to look as the geo dog wanted to go this way and that confusing me. also what type of cache it would be. But managed it in the end.
Nice hide, thank you.

Today we found Sophie's Choice on our travels. We are on another visit from Melbourne because…the learner driver needs some hours…well, maybe it’s all those puzzles we solved during those many lockdowns! Having the opportunity to sign some actual logs is exciting! A brief stop in Camden before introducing him the joys of Sydney roads!

Thanks bustaraff for being part of our geocaching fun.

Tftc

Easy as! TFTC (pic unrelated to hiding spot)

Found It!
A nice park and a quick find here!

This is a lovely park and I'm sure my kids would love to spend some time here; however, they were not with me today as I had to visit the area on a business trip. Thanks for placing this cache and sharing some history.

Had fun in the park and found this cache

#378 - such a beautiful day for a geowalk! Loved the serenity, lol. TFTC!

My parents got married in this park many years ago. I was in the area checking it out. Was happy to see this cache nearby. After wondering around for a while I put two and two together and found it. TFTC

Nice one

Whilst work on a nearby adventure lab, we realised that this traditional was also in close proximity. Hence, we headed over to check out what’s what and soon spotted a familiar container. We also discovered a trackable! Thanks for the nice hide and bringing us here

A quick park and grab while we explore the park. TNLN TFTC

Nice quick find before it started to rain. TFTC.

Found it. Quite an easy cache

Good find

Boom #4 on fire today!

1st geocache - of many!

The GPS was in 2 minds as I neared GZ but after checking a few places on the way it became quite definite about 2 other places close to each other, and one of them gave me the find. Thanks for a very good hide, I even heard a bonus bower bird just over the hedge.

Cheeky post work run and cache. Thanks from WA

TFTC!!

Quick find with Ris768 we had to be careful not to disturb the cache guardian snail to be able to open the cache & return it with it still attached. thanks bustaraff for placing & maintaining this cache

Found with Deep_99 to keep the streak going. SL #4863 on streak day #3194. TFTC

Lotsa places it could be hidden, but good choice Sophie. TFTC bustaraff

Found whilst out and about on a weekend trip with other Canberra cachers. It was great fun to walk around here and find so many different cache types. TFTC.

Found while picking up the nearby AL location. Such s beautiful park

Taking a road trip to Sydney to attend some events this weekend. Found with Strangetrousers and cosmonaut97.

Thanks for hiding this cache bustaraff

#6882 For the second weekend in a row, a geo-road trip ! This time to Sydney to attend a special Community Event on Cockatoo Island joined in the car by Kittykatch & Cosmonaut97. There were a number of other notable Canberra geocachers heading up and staying at our hotel, so it was a merry weekend of eating, drinking and caching. But before we got there we dropped in to Picton to run the local parkrun at 8am, grab breakky and a few local caches too. An earlier attempt at the local Adventure Lab failed for me due to intolerable traffic, but no such issues today. So after grabbing these we headed on to Camden. I was pleasantly surprised by Camden with it mix of lovely parks and heritage features. So then on to our hotel in Sydney. While I grew up in Sydney, I've never been to Cockatoo Island before, so I was quite keen to attend the event there. It was good to see an Adventure Lab there too. After the event, we headed back into town after a very pleasant ferry ride back to Circular Quay. Another event down at Homebush Bay topped off the weekend.

Enjoyed this lovely park in Camden. Nearby muggles were gathering, but not so close.

Thanks bustaraff

Lots of webs!! But a lovely garden. TFTC

Nice hide great park TFTC

Lovely area! Spotted the birds nest near by. Tip for this one is to put the GPS away and use your senses, relatively quick find once we just started looking at likely areas. TFTC

We learned a lesson today, Geosenses are more accurate than Smartphones. It was a lovely evening in the park. Thankyou for getting us out of the house. Took a TB, where to next?

Thankyou

What a beautiful park. I enjoyed wandering through here a lot. Left a TB

We enjoyed a lovely walk through this park. Merci

Great hide thanks very well hidden

Beautiful spot. Be careful as a bowerbird has made his home around the same area. TFTC.

Logging a day late as I’ve had no data or internet. A day out caching with mrwhiskers76, I’ve been in the area a few times before but never for caching! I reluctantly made my way over to this one as my legs we getting quite sore and the *very small* hill looked huge. After complaining a bunch we finally got to gz and mrwhiskers76 made the find, while I ran away from a big wasp. We signed the log and replaced.

Thank you for the cache!!

Another quick find at the other end of the park, thank you

OCW the Bebes. Down fro Sydney to get a a few caches on a lovely sunny day. Nice park and coords spot on.. Tftc

OCW PelDroedGwin

My first visit to pretty Camden, enjoying a lovely wander

This is a really beautiful park

Tftc

Fairly easy find. Please be careful of the satin bowerbird's nest nearby. This nest can be easily seen on the ground as the bird likes to collect blue items and put it around the nest.

Took a little bit but very fun!

Super fun, loved the hunt. Had a hunch but still took a bit of time.

Brew's choice? Which logbook to sign? Without a hint Zelda the geodog and I sniffed it out quickly. TFTC

Oldmorty and I are in Camden today picking up a few extra caches after doing SueDan83's Adventure Lab "Historic Camden".
Lots of muggles in the park today. Thankful to be hidden from view.
TFTC bustaraff

Enjoying the serenity and taking a stroll through this lovely park today with Mizcupcake. We came through to complete the AL here in Camden and are stopping off for the other caches in the area as well. A walk past the rose garden that is just coming into growth, blossom filled trees lining the path, beautiful views and a fern walk. A park I would love to come back to again. As soon as we reached gz i had a feeling i knew were it was. CIH we signed and replaced and made our way forward. TFTC!

Found with Littl3Vix. We took a nice stroll through this park to complete the Camden History Adventure Lab cache and while here grabbed this one. We originally took the wrong path to get here but it was a lovely walk through the gardens so it wasnt too bad once there, Littl3Vix had a hunch that was right and quickly came up with the cache. Thanks for the cache and the lovely walk through this beautiful park!

Grabbed this one while doing the Adventure Lab nearby.
Thanks for the cache

Quick park and grab Thankyou
