Owner confirmed in May that the cache is not here, but did not have the courtesy to take this one offline.
Decided to go and check this one out today considering there were a lot of DNF's listed.
Cache was unable to be located.
I will need to replace cache ASAP

20/2/16. 1:39 PM. Cache #3516. Streak day #608.
2nd of 15 today - Glenmore Park & Mulgoa.
I headed out west this weekend for a bit of a Penrith plunder, today grabbing a few from the GP Fitness Freaks and FRACTURED PHRASES series. After a DNF at #2 Oriri and skipping #3 Horti St altogether, I came over here.
For several minutes I tried a bunch of likely spots and came up empty handed. I read a few of the older logs and started to get an idea about what I might be looking for. I tried a couple more places and then I saw it; just what I had guessed! Phew, glad it wasn't another DNF. Off to #5 Domus Street next.TFTC.

I left early in the morning to try to avoid the forecast heat. I still didn't return home until just after noon so I got most of the heat.
I achieved 18 finds and 5 DNFs some of which may be gone.
A familiar cache camo and an easy find by process of elimination.

After a finding nb# 2 and # 3, happy we found one again. Love the camo. With master Q, Rite, Paris and blazer.
This one took way too long to spot, but I spied the camo and its bigger than the usual ones of that type I've seen., thanks ppmr
A quick find whilst racking up some numbers before heading up to the mountains for a couple of days to do some extreme caching with Delloro! TFTC!

Well, after warming up with 7 caches yesterday, today I decided to go all out now that my cache rationing to find 2000 is well and truly over.
Headed out Glenmore Park way again - still lots of caches here for me to grab.
And grab I did. Took the opportunity for a series of long walks covering a number of finds. 15,000 steps later... fourteen finds and only three DNFs (and a DNAttempt due to muggle workmen nearby).
Better still, a few of the finds expunged previous DNFs, including one cache that had just been checked by the CO after a few unsuccessful hunts.
[center]END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION[/center]
A previous DNF, but it was on my path back to The Hademobile.
Arrived and started the search. Last time I went around and around for quite a while. Today I spotted something suss within 2 minutes. CIH!
How did I miss that last time? I'm sure I checked there. And for that type of hide!
Completed signing duties and replaced.

I did go and double check this one today because of the previous DNF.

Must have missed the obvious here, but there were more tricky or missing caches in this series?

Well, I'll be at the Supanova convention from this afternoon until late Sunday (booth 57). so, this is my last chance to get in any significant caching for a few days.
Just have time to head west for a Hidden Day cache I'm after, and hopefully I'll have time to grab a few more before having to head home.
In the end, my trip didn't work out as well as hoped, but still picked up two today.
[center]END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION[/center]
Hmmm, I'm really not on the ball today.
Made my way here after the DNF at GPFF#5, and started the search.
And another long search for no result - in a much more search friendly GZ. Either they're BOTH gone (possible) or I'm blind (more likely).
In case it's this CO that has me flummoxed, I'll try for someone else's cache next. The comments on GPFF#3 don't inspire confidence I can make a quick find there.

It didn't take long for my Geo-wife to spot this one while I was on muggle watch, thanks.
Recognised the hide as soon as we saw it, very familiar with this type of container. Tftc xo
Found with snoopy and contactpete after we all got caught in a massive downpour. After a short search snoopy came up with the goods. SL #1791 on streak day #959 TFTC
Streak Day #588 - Yep started to rain when i arrived at GZ so walked back to the car to get a brolly, nup too late downpour happened so got wet anyway. Got back to GZ and expanded my search a little and spotted a very familiar hide. TFTC
Checked this cache tonight and all is great!
It's just sitting there waiting to be found

I had to deliver the faithful GeoBuru2 down to Penrith Subaru today, to have its regular maintenance work done. rogerw3 accompanied me and we planned to do a bit of geocaching during the four hours or so that the vehicle would be tied up. (I arranged for a loan car from Subaru.) What we found to the south of Penrith was a sometimes disappointing collection of caches (13 in total), a number of which really required either a bit of TLC or a complete overhaul. We also DNFed four caches, all of which we suspected had gone walkabout.
The very familiar camo didn't fool rogerw3. We parked as near to GZ as we could, and then he just walked up to it for an instant find.
All proved to be in good order with the cache. However, it's hard to know how long it will remain untouched, lying right out in the open, in such a busy place. But perhaps to the muggles it blends in well with the landscape.

Thanks to ppmr for another geocache.

I think that all cachers have to be careful at all times when caching as last week I moved my G2Q LETTERBOX because of needles in the old area.
My latest G2Q 1-4 JO there has been a report of a syringe close by and yesterday I found at least a dozen new and used syringes in a black container (Jamison Park Penrith) which I handed to a council worker. Be aware they are out there.
The ageing Bushfire is back in Sydney for a few days so decided to start on these Jamison Park caches.
I require seven caches to get to a minor milestone of 4500 caches.
This guy was my fifth find today in an area where I was lucky enough to get a couple of FTF's when they were first published.
Having seen this type of hide a few times it did not cause me any problems.
Thanks ppmr for placing this cache.

After coming here quite a while ago and looking around for a long time I finally returned tonight and found the cache exactly where it should've been before. TFTC.
Found on a day to "Spring Caching In The Bluies" event with 3MU. 3MU wanted to play on the equipment but we did not have time.

After a dnf due to owners and sundry at park ridge the kids came down here for a walk to break up the long drive.
Their well honed caching ey s spotted the camo quickly before sliding down the sittup ramps.
Couldnt think of a better way to get a splinter in the bum is said. Which generated vast hilarity. Fortunately no splinters though.

Quick and easy find in the dark. Then we used the new path to get to the next one across the way, you know they put 2 fences between us and that cache? Silly people.
4th or 5th time I've come to this one on my morning ride. This time I came armed with the Magellan GC, which put me right on the spot. And there it was. Of course, I had no pen, so there is a shot to go with the log. Don't let what you see in the photo determine what you are looking for!
Had to return for a better look as I think I had my caching eyes on today and after 1 minute of looking, I had the cache in hand.

Wow this is my first of many types of hides and with salem finding them but allowing me a change to find them is also helpful a very sneaky hide- I was not looking around here until salem said I should be paying more attention to this area and soon we were off to the next one
It took a call to the Blue Mountains phone a friend company to turn up this elusive cache, rock on.
I love these camo jobs. Great hide in a beautiful area. Running across the bridge after dropping Salem and Concorde to go look for cache to hear found it. Dam buggers didn't even wait for me lol. Tftc
Another crafty hide... This GC owners good!!! A variety of types of hides making this day a good one. Weathers nice made exploring a new suburb more enjoyable. TFTC
I relied on the GPS too much and found nothing. Then thought, "where would I put one" and soon found a familiar container. Thanks ppmr.
GE has pre-development imagery. It's interesting seeing the morphing.

After nabbing the FTF at #5, I went to get the cache I was actually here for. After traversing the bouncy bridge I made a quick find and then scooted back to the car as I was now late for the trip up the mountain to get the juniors.

We parked the car on a nearby street and walked to this one, only to find some kids with their dog near GZ. We walked over to the fitness sign, pretending to be interested in it and the kids left. We then had the cache within half a minute. Thanks
#2565- The other day I had completed every cache in Glenmore Park and the immediate area. But things don't stay the same for long-this new one had already popped up. So today, in an effort for bikerbuddy to help his stats for the month look just that little bit healthier, we came down here to catch up on a few. In comparison, I think this was probably the easiest of the lot in this series(so far). Thanks- no doubt we will be back for more to come.
A challenge at night especially as I had to use a phone-a-friend to even get the light on the iPhone to work!?!

Found another of this gradually released series.
my pen doesnt like those types of log paper so my mark is a bit messy.

Find Number 2634
The Booo's found this cach.
Parked nearby close to GZ and wandered over to the deserted fitness area and after a brief search soon found the cache, after a fight with the pen on the waterproofing, managed to sign the log on the back in the large gap.
Thanks ppmr for placing this cache

A quick find with steveb. Best advice I could give would be to think about where you'd hide it if it were you. It also helps having seen this container a few times now. We were hoping to be FTF, as there were no online logs, but we were beaten to it! TFTC.
FTF at about 12:40. I noticed this one had been published this morning but did not expect to be the first to find it as I was about 60km away.
Anyway, I was planning to be in Glenmore Park this afternoon so I thought I'd give it a go as soon as I arrived. It took a few minutes to locate but I eventually spotted it and opened it up to find, to my surprise, a blank log.
GZ is familiar, I'm sure I've found one here before.
Nice one, thanks ppmr.
