Found the cache but the container was broken. The logbook was too wet to write in, and I had ants biting my legs which are about the size of my little finger not good this cache needs fixing as it's in poor condition
Sorry to add pic of cache however needs maintenance tried not to reveal location of cache though
good find, be careful of snakes! log was wet and cache broken so unable to sign
Parked at the end of Englorie Park Drive and walked behind the houses. Hint was very helpful as my GPS was still saying 12m away. TFTC
Spent the day caching with my good mate steeba. We concentrated our efforts around southwestern Sydney.
This cache was one of many we found today.

Out and about travelling through some of Sydney’s southwest suburbs with The Rats for a variety of finds today.

Very quick and easy, although it might need a change of logbook as it's a bit soft and wet (but still legible). TFTC!
TFTC BigKev. Nice walk along the track to locate the old gates . Nice and quite here at the moment no trail bikes . Good hide . Deserves my golden paper clip
After waiting for the rain to settle, I made my way over to this one. At first I was a little stumped because I couldn’t find what I was looking for, until I can in from a different point of view. Thank you!
The area is quite muddy from the BMX bikes all the motorbikes but found as per hint which was really helpful as the coordinates were or wanted me elsewhere
I came out to this area today for a change of pace, trying to stay away from crowds and people as much as possible and these caches were perfect for that.
This one was a lot easier once I found the track. Before that I was walking through long grass and I wasn't too impressed. Cache in good condition. TFTC

This cache has been here almost as long as I've been working in the area and geocaching, funny that I don't recall ever noticing it on the map.
While it was nice to get into a bit of bushland in the midst of a suburban caching trip, the ground on the way in reminded me of taking household rubbish to the tip many years ago. The ground looks the same, lots of rubbish embedded and on top. Not to mention the dozens of invasive plants meaning this bushland is a bit short on Aussie bush. All of that doesn't stop it being a nice chance for a cool walk in the shade on this hot afternoon though.
GPS was sending me to a good spot but it looked a bit difficult to reach. A few metres away was a much easier spot and I came up with the cache. The logbook is damp and covered in black mold, but if you use something to brush off the mold then signing isn't too hard.

Catching up on my logs from the Feb, March, April and May. Fell behind because of too many TBs from events and a lot of drafts. Sorry if my log becomes a bit generic. And thanks to all the COs!
I enjoyed the mini bush bash to GZ, my gps was bouncing heaps and had me in the wrong spot but the clue is accurate.

Tftc easy find. Needs maintenance. Didn’t complete log as paper is too wet.
I came down from Sydney for some caches in the Campbelltown area today.
Weaving my way round this was my 8th stop. Looks like this area is beginning to be developed.
While I was here I could hear bikes on the tracks but I didn't see anyone even though they sounded very close. I walked the long way to the cache hoping to see some native flowers or birds. No flowers but there were lots of birds calling but they were very hard to see high up in the foliage. For a while I was wondering if I was going to see the item mentioned in the hint, then it appeared.
The GPS said about 6m but using my geosense I found the cache in the first place I checked.

Waking up this morning and seeing how gorgeous the day was, I got ready for a jog and a cache or two. Parking the geomobile close by, I made off for a run up to Menangle views, but unfortunately had a local muggle doing some stretches at gz. Enjoying the view before making my run back down to this cache. Thankfully no one was in sight so this was a quick and easy one. The hint helped once getting to gz as the gps was bouncing a bit. TFTC!
So this was a bit of a strange one for me - I swear I have been here before and found this one! And yet according to the app - I haven't. Weird. Anyway, smiley face achieved now. Cool little area, Tftc!
Been here before, but didn’t have time to look. GPS was next to useless, in the end was saying I was 13m away. But my geosenses( and the hint) kicked in. Looked around and thought, oh surely not.....surely sure was! Seen a couple of these hides over the years. TFTC
Found with Firesafe and Moneydork on the last day of the OZ Geomuster 2019 Mega Event. A great weekend with many caches found. My apoligies for the generic log.
Thanks for placing and maintaining the cache.

Cheers and Happy Hunting

Found while out and about at the Mega. Once again The Bebes spotted it. Lucky, as my phone had me 15m out. TFTC
Had a bit of a jog this morning and decided to go for a hunt. Love this one!
TFTC. A nice walk to warm me up. I am only short but found a way of not taking any risks with my fingers. GPS way off.

After a meeting, I headed up this way for a cache and some lunch. Nice little hide.

TFTC Thank you for going to the effort of hiding this cache. You have shown us a new place and have helped make geocaching an enjoyable activity. Thank you for the hint.
I certainly did not know about the BMX track here. It is very dry and dusty today and the GPS is not too accurate. The hit is easy to interpret of course.
Calendar day 180 for me.

Last time I came I thought the gate was gone, I didn't look around too well, finally found the gate and the cache. Now I get rid of the blue smiling face and have a yellow one.
Found it with ljbrizzo88 and dwrightb what a nice bush walk came across some dog muggles on the way

After returning by train from working in the CBD for the day, I made use of the remaining daylight to find some more caches before driving back to Canberra. This one was elusive until I read the hint. TFTC and the opportunity for a stroll after sitting down all day.

23 September is another of the calendar days that I need to beef up so I will have at least 5 finds by the end of next year - my fifth year of caching.
So, as usual, I will do a bit of overkill and head somewhere I can make a number of finds - ie nowhere within 15km of home...
So down the M7 to the Campbelltown area seemed a good idea. And so it proved. Went for 9 and found 8 - but to be fair the no find was expected due to the series of DNFs recently logged.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Final find of the day. Pretty easy, although my approach did set off every dog within a kilometre - or that's what it sounded like.
Completed signing duties and replaced.
Time for home - going out for dinner tonight.

We needed at least one find for our "daily" but as today had been filled with spendings for grandkids fun, it was already dark before we ventured out for our bit of fun. This was our nearest "quickie" though it still took as a little while with torches. Startled a couple of horses with our bashings about. Yes, the abandoned bower bird nest from 18 months ago is still displaying it's blueness.
