My second visit here in a few weeks
Still no luck today,might need a check

No luck today. Spent a good half hour searching high and low but came up empty.
I was in NSW for work again and had some time to kill on my way back to town.
Parked nearby happy to make a quick find.

Found with sesblocker.
Coords had me searching on uphill side of track. Read some previous logs and saw we should be on lower side.

Quick find and almost busted by muggle so stood still and he went right by only 3 metres away.
The camo must have worked.

Had to drop Geoson #2 at the station so he could get to work... so I decided to keep going south for some caching goodness.
I don't usually cache down here unless going to friends' for dinner - ie leaving early. But lately I haven't had the time to do that, so I'm getting behind and new caches are piling up. Also, there are a number of multis that I just NEED to do.
So compromised - a newer cache and some multis...
Got six and abandoned one. Oh well.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Final find of the day after stopping in Engadine - the *Engadine Town* cache was muggle central, but I grabbed some drink and food for the drive home.
Decided to go for this one as a final hurrah for the day. Parked and started the search for the cache as the light was fading.
Found what I thought was a logical spot a little away from the published coordinates, but nothing. Back to the car for a torch, and tried another few locations.
Finally checked a few old logs. That pointed me to an area I'd glanced at but not checked. Yep, there it is, totally uncovered.
All good, though as I completed signing duties and replaced with a little more cover.
Then back to *The Hademobile* and off home.

It is unusual that the cache has "Park and Grab" in the title yet it is a full sized ammo can! Usually park and grab type caches are just plastics in guardrails or something like that. So good to see an ammo can like this in such an accessible location. It isn't hidden though it is kinda just sitting there.
Thanks Incensed!

Yes as others indicate gps was leading us in the wrong direction. But my muggle companion ventured off track a lil and there it was. Great size container. TFTC. Found a lil piggy coin to take on a ride and left a lil dog tag for the next.
Great hide. Followed new and closer GPS position then spent time near plenty of big(ish) rocks before finding GC as I was walking back to car. Note to self: don't wear slippery shoes when walking on wet and sloped ground
Definitely a park and grab, although the coords were out and had me closer to the Heathcote Rd side, so I followed those suggested by Rainbow Spirit and soon found the correct hint item, and there it was "hidden" under a suspicious pile of sticks. A good sized ammo can, but the lid took me awhile to open. All good inside. Dropped off a little toy duck and took the Primose TB. No sign of Colin The Echidna in there though. Maybe someone forgot to log it.

Visiting my brother for a weekend. We were on our way back from Stanwell Park beach. I had a travel bug from the uk to drop an thought I'd introduce my oz family's the game. Coords wee off a little (tree coverage). Not wearing appropriate footwear for foliage, and having to consider the dangerous Australian wildlife, I bottled heading in and volunteered my brother as tribute! He was straight in to find it. TFTC

Gotta love this containers. Great size in a busy area but a good park & Grab

Took a while to locate this one as our coords put us further up towards the road. A good size cache. TFTC!

I found this a few weeks back but totally forgot to log it. Seemyshells took me along as he had done it before and knowing I love this particular size cache we made a special stop. Not too far or a trek in and I found the treasure! TFTC
While the arrow took it’s time to settle, I concentrated on possible spots that matched the clue. Cache found by camo observation before specific co-ords confirmed.
I had noted the logs that said it was off coords and had a quick find at these coords S34 04.045 E 150 59.778. Now that is a cache container.
Driving past today and realised I wasn't in a hurry to get anywhere (ie to and from work). Plus the traffic is easier to negotiate outside of peak hour. A quick stop, find, sign and onwards.
TNLNSL, thanks for the cache!
best wishes,
Wal

Was not planning on caching today & only realised the cache was here minutes before deciding to look for it. Needed to use geo sences & liked the container. Took x2 tb's to move on. In hindsight though I think that ;
1. Gps was not helpful here.
2. I should have read some logs prior to commencing search &
3. Open toe heels are not appropriate footwear for this cache hunt
Thanks for the cache Incensed xo

Took the chance to pull in for this one on the way past and was hoping for a quick find. Remembered from past logs to head right and the cry of "got it" from the odlids confirmed that idea. Shame about the dumped rubbish in the area though. Took a trackable to move on.
Serendipity-doo!
PPE and I were on a mission to collect a swag of unknowns today and had just hiked out from Welcome to the Machine: Nemesis. While waiting here for the limo, I took a little walk into the shade on a side track.
What do I see but a suspicious pile of sticks covering a quite decent box!
Took the Nederland TB to move along.
Thanks Incensed.

After running back to the car at the top of the hill, I collected Baktrak at the Scouters Hill fire trail. He advised me that whilst taking a nature break he stumbled across this enormous cache accidentally. I headed over to the spot he described and made a quick find and discharged all of the TBs in my possession.

Stopped by to drop off travel bug Marty so he can continue his adventures.
We weren't with Canary when he found this cache, but we had the same issue. The coordinates took us to the high side of the track and we had a fruitless search. It wasn't until Toriaz looked at some old logs that she realised the problem and went to make an easy find.
This was the last cache on our weekend after camping at Bundeena on Saturday night to attend Wazza's event in the morning. Thanks

We went past this one the previous day, but going in the wrong direction. Today, on our way home from the event at Bundeena, we were going the right way to stop.
We looked on the high side of the track at first, then I read old logs & saw the comments about the coords being a bit out. We switched to the other side & made a quick find.

This was not a quick park and grab. The coordinates were ten metres off and on the wrong side of the track!?! I only found it thanks to old logs.

I've had my eye on this cache for a while but there has always been too much traffic to pull off easily. Early Saturday morning there was not a car in sight, so a nice easy stop, and a quick find once I sorted out which side to look on. Thanks incensed - what a pleasure to have a break from micros! TFTC
I had a good chuckle when I saw the cache. This has got to be the biggest drive by cache I've ever found. Well done. I know this track well having been on many a walk along this trail. Huge amount of rubbish that was never here before and something big has hit that guard rail right where you park, so maybe best to park further in away from the road.
A nice quick one to start the day! I must come back one day to investigate the trail further. I didn't see the TB in the cache. TFTC.
A quick drive by this morning, I needed to fill another day on my calendar. Left trackable to travel. Thanks Incensed
On my way picking up GeoDirk from his sleepover, never had the chance to stop here. So been here, found all the rocks, got CIH, signed the log. TFTC

A quick stop and a quick grab. Although the coords had me on the other side of the trail, it was a matter of quickly deducting the option.

Have been wanting to do "Welcome to the Machine - Nemesis" for ages, saw this one come up a little while ago and realised it might be a great place to park to reach the other.
Nice easy find, shame about the huge amount of rubbish in the area. Thankfully the fire trail it leads to is pretty much pristine and a fantastic area.

The title made me overconfident - initially taking only the iPhone out of the car. But after a few minutes without CIH, I re-read some earlier logs and decided to fetch the 'real' GPSr. The Magellan pointed to a spot about 15 metres from where the iPhone thought GZ was - and the cache was right there. Don't see such large discrepancies that often, so very glad I had the Magellan with me.
In: Water-pistol
Out: compass key-tag (could come in useful for future caches)
Thanks, Incensed!

Heading to Sydney this morning for some meetings I took the time to do a couple of caches along the way.
This was a quick find and then back into the rat race of city traffic.

In the light of day I could see my mistake made in darkness a few days ago. I ignored the GPSr and followed my instincts, and hence me an easy find 13m from where my GPSr says GZ should be.

My last find for this terribly hot day. I had just managed to get some cool liquid to recover from a 2 hour bush cache trip when I stopped on the way home to grab this cache too. Just as I had found it, just to spite me, rain started to fall... and fall... and fall. Lightning in the distance too. So I couldn't even have my windows down for the long drive home.
Thanks for the cache.

A pretty quick stop although the GPSr didn't want to play ball (was like that all day today). After searching here and there finally the cache was located. Nice spot in itself but a bit dubious getting on and off that very busy road . TFTC!
The bush here look lovely and I'm sure it a great walk, however the entrance is very unappealing due to the rubbish, the council should do something about it. TNSL TFTC
FTF...saw this pop up while I was at a meeting and parked and grabbed on the way home. Lucky Friday 13th. Nice sized cache..lids a bit tight. I didn't have any geo gear with me so had to make do with the phone. TFTC incensed and also for the series.
