Found it thanks to the help of first cacher we’ve met, just today at another cache. Easy to put back in too. TFTC
Full log - didn’t want or wrote on other people’s ribbed put ones so should get a replacement.
After this evening’s squash game, I ducked over the bridge to grab this lovely park and grab.

Thanks for the beautiful walk around the area today.
This was a nice quick find in the afternoon.

Found on the ground. Replaced where past logs suggested. TFTC log getting full
Not what I was looking expecting with the cache. I always love these type of trees. Spotted at the right angle
What a beautiful location, a magical place. This was one of many caches for the day. It was the perfect day for caching. TFTC
but was pretty easy to findLast time I was here, I searched and sesrched for a DNF. Today, I walked straight up and spotted it immediately! Go figure? The hardest part this time was getting the log out. Finally that frown is a smiley. TFTC
On our way to the first of the summer series orienteering events when we went past this one. Had to stop! And soon had CIH.
Elder geeks was playing Tennis match in nearby school. Younger geokid and I tried to have a search for geocache nearby. Geokid firstly spotted cache. TFTC
Nice little stopover on my bike exploring of this part of town, amazing views, great location and top chaches.
Thanx to this one I was able to focus on the peculiar bark of this weird pine
The find was easy, but took me a while in the dark

Another wonderful Artful Dodgers cache. Had a bit of GPS bounce but got there in the end thanks to previous logs. TFTC , Dodgers
Little bit of a struggle but played Jingle Bells and came up with the goods

The Artful Dodgers I found your cache Rakes Creek on 22/9/18, 5:11 pm. This is my find 2109 and find # 16 today. A quick and easy find. Thanks for the cache! TNSLLN
TFTC! It was a real park, grab, sign and go cache, which was fun.
Thanks again,

Easy one - but be carefull woth the logbook, find out somewhere at the street and not by the cache. TFTC
On a walk home from Neilson park. We went on a night cache and quickly had the cih, SL and we were on our way. TFTC
Wow, longer than expected, like a common theme with the hides out this way. Love the bark on that tree, thanks The Artful Dodger

Found with morry9.
With a spade of newly published caches at the top of peak hour, it was a question of "do I bother venturing out now or later on?". Morry9 was keen and I battled the bottleneck roads to reach his place. We went from there over to Wollstonecraft for the intriguing, large sized, 'Pirate's Treasure TB Hotel' (GC7K992). We switched to foot mode at the suggested parking co-ordinates, and we we walking down from the trail head, we bumped into the Cache Owner, who had just returned from adding the logbook to the cache. Unfortunately, by the time we had reached Ground Zero, it was too late anyway, as bella at waggy and one half of BoogieRouge had already beaten us to the treasure. Nevertheless, we signed the log to claim a joint 3rd To Find and quickly discovered the trackables inside the TB hotel. Thanks For The Cache HUNbat.
The next closest, newly published cache happened to be in Vaucluse, 'Gaslight 2' (GC7KJ8B). AlphaDeltaIndigo wanted to join us, so we arranged to meet up and pick her up on the way through. Alas, as it turns out, the notification soon went off advising the other half of BoogieRouge had been and gone already, before we had made it through the congested roads. Oh well. We had made it this far, so why not continue. While the co-ordinates are out by about 25m, it was fairly obvious where we needed to be looking, and we soon had the Cache In Hand. We signed the log to confirm a joint 2nd To Find. Thanks For The Cache The Artful Dodgers.
While we were in the area, we thought we would return to the final location of the 'Sydney Bombardment' Multi Cache (GC67CBM). Having previously worked through the various stages, we knew where we needed to be. After a string of Did Not Finds, no update from the Cache Owner and the last recorded find being on 19 Jul 2016, we decided to help the game along by throwing down a replacement cache. Thanks For The Multi Cache nathys.
At this point AlphaDeltaIndigo had to head home, so we dropped her off at the bus stop and continued onto 'A Grateful Tribute' (GC572X6). I had attempted this one in Feb 2016 but was unable to locate it, and subsequently logged a Did Not Find. This time, however, our fortunes had improved and we spotted the cache straight away. I am almost certain it was not there before but pleased to turn my DNF frown upside down (or the right way up).
With the sunlight gone, we pulled out our torches and swung by Vaucluse Bay for 'Beach Paddock' (GC535VN). This would be a lovely spot during the day, I'd imagine. A quick and easy find for us under artificial light. Thanks For The Cache Denikoje.
We began making our way back towards the city and pulled into the crescent surrounding Ray Avenue Reserve for 'Rakes Creek' (GC5DH1T). Another quick find under torch light, with morry9 managing to spot it straight away.
I noticed, for some reason, 'The Spring' (GC34290) was appearing on my map as having not been found. I recall having the same discussion with morry9 last time we were over this way, that he had already found it and I was certain I had too. Well (excuse the pun), I wanted to be sure to clear it once and for all. Emma's Well is an great little landmark by the road side. Even though I was somewhat parched by this stage, I decided against drinking from the spring. An easy find and I was first to sign in the newly replaced log.
We were on the right side of New South Head Road (actually, the left side) to try our luck at 'Kings Cinema' (GC58ETD). We parked the car in the underground car park of the old cinema (now a supermarket). Ground Zero was quite active, so we decided to grab dinner first at the nearby Thai restaurant. After finishing our evening meal, we returning and made another straightforward find. Who would have guessed this building used to house a cinema, just by looking at it? Thanks For The Caches The Artful Dodgers.

Cheeky little find, nice spot to come on a clear day, with a great view of the Bridge and SOH. TFTC
Last time we came, cache was missing. Nice to finally tick this one off - good quick find. Tftc

Decided to stop by on the way home from the orienteering event at Macquarie Lighthouse. CO must have been around to replace the missing cache as I was greeted to an empty log. Quickly signed it and hidden it back as find. I only realised I put the wrong date in it when I got home and checked the picture I took of the log. TFTC TNLNSL

Another DNF to add to the growing list. This one dodged me Artful Dodgers. Looks like some cutting of the tree has seen it go AWOL. Time to check please CO.
Came at night and had no luck. Only spent about 5 minutes looking though due to previous dnfs. The tree looks as if it was recently pruned which may have affected the cache?

A nice cache during the City2Surf. We took the opportunity to pause a bit and then move on to the finish line.
Thanks for the cache.

It was just chilling in a tree, the camo wasn't that good but whatever, 5th find today! There was NOTHING in the box so that needs to be fixed. Bella stayed in the car.

I do agree nice cameo in the container!
However slightly odd.. The cache was empty
Quite wet inside however there was nothing to sign nor contents, it was indeed the cache (unless someone else enjoys putting empty containers in places?)
Unfortunately I don't have any paper with me to use for the time being
This one will need a log and some drying out soon
