Multiple DNFs and no action by CO from NM in January.

This geocacher reported that this geocache should be archived. A community volunteer reviewer has been notified.

No luck today. May be missing?

Gave the cache a good solid look with before work despite all the DNF logs.
Ended up the same with me.
Looks as if it may have been muffled.
Regards

CO needs to check cache. Many DNFs.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

the muggles were out earlier than expected setting up for NYE near this one so left us no option but to return at a quieter time.

Although it may be a good vantage point for NYE, it isn't a good location to try find a cache on NYE, to many muggles. Tftc

My final look here as my local contract concludes after 8 months. Been here a few times now but still no find.

Didn’t find, from reading the comments I feel someone may have moved it.

Coybear2000 and I had found a few nearby caches and we decided to have a look for this one. The little rain we'd had before was increasing. We looked in all the obvious spots, but had no luck. C read a few previous logs but these didn't help. We did look at the city skyline and will try to remember this park if needs be for a NYE.

Out with Trodectus. We were in the area and decided to try for a few caches. With light drops of rain falling we arrived at GZ and started searching, despite previous DNF, thought we would give it a go. After searching obvious places and widening our search, no luck. With the rain starting we called it a day.

Searched everywhere with no luck, read logs with clues of obvious finds but it was no where to be seen

Nice to be able to change the frown for a smile! I found this one a little while ago (forgot to log at the time) after having lunch at GZ while at work TFTC and thanks for replacing

Looked and looked until I needed a seat! Nice one!

We noticed this was back so we returned to attempt it after missing out previously. We checked the likely places and quickly spotted the cache.

Nice one, thanks contactpete.

It was a lovely evening for a short stroll so we parked in the car park and wandered up to find the cache. It wasn't long before we had CIH. SL TFTC

Very quick easy find as just used geo sense as cords were abit sketchy.

Quick and easy find though the coords had all 3 of us at 3 different locations on 3m....not sure what is going on with our phones today. Geosense kicked in and searched the logical spots. CIH.

Hunted around the veg and non veg too no avail. But nice views at night after cycling here.

Tftc!

Second of three clustered caches that we took on. Went up and got an amazing view of... Wet N' Wild Sydney. Could we actually see the city from here? Why, yes. Parramatta looked pretty great! We met a lively bunch of seniors having a quiet morning a short distance from GZ, but the actual zone was all clear. We quickly found the cache, and after doing the formalities, we set our sights on the final cache of the cluster! Thanks for the cache!

Found as part of TeamNormal along with Foreignnebula! Teamwork!

nice easy find

Simple cache with once again a hard surface to write on. Much appreciated.

Flutterbysquishy and shellz85 made the find and signed for me while I baby sat the geobubs in the playground. They had a ball. Thanks for bringing us here! TFTC!

A quick easy find. Tftc

Brought in a team of 7 cousins... No luck.

Despite the recent DNFs, we decided to attempt this one as we had not been to this park before. We checked the obvious places near where the GPSr took us but failed to find anything. Quite a nice spot though.

There has been some recent cutting down of vegetation and mulching in the area, not sure if that's why myself and a few before me DNF..

Beautiful reserve, but no cache found. Expanded search but still no luck. Beware the human waste at the picnic table. Tfth cp xo

No luck on this very windy day
Regards JordanandMichelle

Nice n easy tftc

Easy find in the first spot that I look! A pleasant change after a nearby DNF.

Too many people wandering around but we eventually managed to grab the cache when a particularly nosey man finished his lunch and moved on. TFTC.

Gps was a little bit off but it was easy enough to narrow down the obvious spots once we had a sit and think. TFTC!

Nice and easy. The coords lead only to one place and it was just a matter of who found the right spot first. Not sure who found it though.

Found with geodad and ZoNic. Nice and easy. TFTC.

I found this one. Dad is too old to bend down that far quickly. Haha!

Found this cache on my way home from work. It has been a long hard week. Glad it is over. Glad to be able to keep the streak going it was risky going for this one because I had been here twice before with no lucky but it was my phone fault as it had me at the wrong feature both times. But this time I went straight to it. TFTC

Quick find

Found with zacshan4 late afternoon it took a few minutes and soon had the cache in our hands
Tftc tnln

A.K.A GEODUDES "gotta cachem all" had to read few logs but found eventually

A quick and easy find on an a quiet Saturday morning.
Cache and log in good shape.
Tftc

Nice quick find before dusk

Nice park, the council need to get their mover out the grass is a bit long. Quick find as there's no niggles here today. TFTC

An instant find, this is really a 1.5/1 though by my estimation.

#582 a nice quick find Sunday morning, no one around but with the drizzle & cloud cover the GPSr took a moment to decide where I needed to look. Once it settled had cache in hand, signed & replaced where found. Thanks contactpete

All seems well

Cache on!

Quick find. Nice little park. Tftc

Cache was on the ground in plain site of Muggles. Placed in the obvious hiding place.

TFTC

Nice place

Had time to sit and sign the log as the morning warmed up

TFTC SL

Found after a brief search.

It took me a little longer than needed. The iPhone wanted me in a different place. In the end. It was a very simple cache. TFTC.

Routine check, relocated correct spot,

Cache on!

found it with btm and u_c

found it with gm10 and btm

found with u_c and gm10. teaching my daughter how to use the navigation map to find cache

#404 - Geocaching Live for Windows Phone

This was the only find for today. I parked in the small carpark near the muggle-free park and made my way to GZ. Unfortunately, the GPS wouldn't settle so I found myself bouncing between several points but also considering the terrain rating. I tried a few options but eventually returned to the only logical spot. I am slowly getting better at these hides so I knew I had to look from several angles and I soon had CIH. SL. TFTC.

Tftf

Lovely little cache. Found nice and fast. Pretty location too- thanks for bringing this Queenslander here tftc

Forgot to log my find

6634 Caches Found

Travelled down the Thin Black Line again last evening in the teeming rain to try my hand at some night caching in the Blacktown area and surrounding suburbs. Great Cache, Great Location

Thanks for the adventure

Thanks for the great Cache contactpete(8D)

Easy find

go the geo wife drove down to Sydney and pick some finds up cheers my darling

I was working in the area at our warehouse at Arndell Park today, so once we finished figured I might as well get some caches rather than go back to the office in town where I would only have been for an hour or so before it was time to head home. So why not go caching as I can work just as well from home for most of what I need to do?

A fairly easy find once I searched the obvious spots, though took a minute or two to spot it. Thanks contactpete.

Found in my lunch break. Lovely park; even has a view towards Wet 'n Wild TFTC!

What a beautiful location, absolutely stunning. Master Q loved the nearby playground, could not get enough of the slide;)

The sun was about to go down behind the hills, the light was magnificent. For that a favourite point.

TFTC

I loved this one as the bushed were so much fun to run around in. Did had some farmers friends bugging me but it didn't stop me:)

Took trackables for a visit

Thought about it for a while then sat down. Yes the light turned on. Sorry I'm a bit late logging this. SL tftc

Quick find as there were not too many places it could be hiding. TFTC.

Had a poke around after work before going to rock climbing but couldn't find it! Will come back when I have time for a more thorough look.

We walked across to this cache after finding the Gleeson Trees reserve cache and made an easy find. Thanks

Once GPS settled down it was a nice quick find. What a cute little park. If anyone happens to find a pair of sunnies between GZ & the car park - they're probably mine!

#2912- My last for the Area before heading home. It was very well camoed and I almost missed it. Thanks

I just needed the one find for today, and this turned out to be it. Parked at the bottom of little park, and started walking up the path when I saw someone looking quite suspect (or just a regular cacher). Anyhow, I approached and said in a stern voice, "Hey! What are you up to?!" This surprised him a little, until he turned around and saw it was me. Good to meet up with you again dkmacca!

Both of us had different GZ's on our devices and the satellite image said slightly differently even more.

Anyhow, after a chin wag and a fair bit of fruitless searching, we found it 5m to the east.

Should've been easier if we used our basic geocaching skills.

Thanks for placing another one CP

I arrived at GZ and did a quick once over something, when I get a call from work. While talking to my work college on the phone, someone calls out to me and this frightened me just a little as I thought it was some weird muggle approaching. Turn around to see Blundo Buster. Good to see you again BB. we search wider of GZ and BB searchers a place that I had done the quick once over to find the cache. Did the legals and replaced. Thanks Pete for the cache.
Cheers

#1581 (2 of 3 today)

After finding the CO's new cache, I continued on to here.
I checked a few logical spots for no find, and started to wonder if this was harder than it seemed. Started checking a few higher difficulty spots but still no luck.

After a bit I returned to one spot - the most likely, but attacked from the other side. It is there.
Like Kid Ron Satan I'd just never looked from the correct angle and so not spotted it when I thought I'd covered all possible hides at GZ.

Well I have it now.

Completed signing duties and replaced.

So tonight I needed a local hide to my work as I had to work back to 8:30pm and I was given a window of opportunity to sneak out between 5pm and 5:30pm which I was hoping to meet up with snoopy but I got there too early for her. Started at the wrong end and wrong side but luckily I had the park to myself so I had the time to crawl all around the place. SL #1814 on streak day #978 TFTC

Streak Day #607 - Was meant to meet up with ris768 but missed her by about 30mins. Lucky i had the place to myself so i could have a thorough search and lucky for me it didnt take me long. TFTC

6/3/15. 12:40 PM. Cache #2295. Streak day #257. 2nd of 5 today. After finding "nurrugingy blacksmiths huts" in Doonside, the rest of today's finds were contactpete's latest. This one stumped me for a while, as I searched the right object but the wrong parts of it, so each time I couldn't see anything I'd circle around somewhere else. Finally I got it, doh. I continued on foot, crossing east into Prospect for "William Lawson Reserve Cache #1". TFTC }:)

Where else could it have been?

GPS went to sleep, so I used google maps to plot GZ but I didn't need to as logic took over and had CIH in a usual cacher style hide. Thanks contactpete

A quick find in a quiet park. Quiet glad that i found it where it was instead of the only other feature here.
Thanks for the cache.

FTF. 2.45pm My GPS had me in an attractive GZ but geo experience made me check 5m away first and the package was found.

2TF @ approx. 3:10pm.
Saw that this still hadn't been logged as I was leaving work so thought I'd give it a go.
A few possible hiding places at GZ but it ended up being an easier hide than it could have been.
A nice quiet little park.

SL TFTC

The second of four on an after work run to fill in time.

The GPS had me a little away but I thought I would check somewhere first. Bingo!

TFTC.
