Found cache on the ground. I have placed back where I think it may belong. TFTC.

Found cache on the ground. I have placed it where I think it may have been.

Will check on cache in the coming week.

Out with Trodectus in the area. Quick park and find. TFTC

Found with Coybear2000. We were in the area and we went for the find. Easily spotted as we approached GZ. TFTC

Awesome camouflage - fresh and bold. TFTC

Back online.

Was a little suspicious after reading the last log, so performed cache check. Sure enough, cache was in pieces on the ground, log lying exposed some distance away. Will perform maintenance to get it in shape again.

Low, yes, as in ground

Took a while, and sober looked it. Think Koalas

Found at 12:22pm.

Today I was on a mini caching mission, scoping the Castle Hill area to notch up a few finds. I had a couple of DNF's along the way but ended up with a total of seven solid smileys.

'Kick It 'n' Stick It' was my first find for the day. Took a few minutes after doing a few rounds of the tree but soon had a well-placed cache in hand.

Signed log, thanks for the cache weandthekids

Wow. I hadn't been in this street for ages. It sure took me a good while to locate this well hidden geocache!
TFTC

Trickyy

The wife found this one, I was fixated on another hide style and she found it even after I had stared here.

Took a little while to find this nicely camoed cache. It was Mrs Webguy who eventually spotted it - luckily she was wearing her highly sophisticated geolenses today! TFTC!

We thought we’d found this one last Friday but from a later reading of the logs it became clear that the container we found, complete with water damaged log, was not the cache. So we returned early this morning, on the way to work, and YGAT made the find of the legitimate object. I couldn’t understand the hint but she claims she did. We signed in the log following Altaire.

We removed the offending item so as not to confuse future seekers.


Great camo and hide, thanks weandthekids.

Mr MR was struggling to see anything in the low light of dawn but, to his credit, was focussing on the likely spot and led me to eventually make the find. Nice container and very well camouflaged. SL TFTC

Two from to today.

Had to come for a bit of drive to nab this one for a Geosportz challenge. Being a damp cold weekday there were at least not many people around. Wandered up to GZ and had a bit of a hunt. Thought at first the hint referred to something else that swung so to speak but after eliminating that particular possibility we managed to locate it. Nice camo.

Stopped off on the way back home after visiting C/Hill R.T.A Thanks for the cache.

nice and easy find

Found it!

Good camo, spotted pretty quickly.

U have 2 options we were looking in the wrong one the whole time. Finally found it - palm to forhead great hide

Quite tricky to find. Great camo. Found by OJJ. TFTC

Love the camo

A bit of a shocker today with only 1 find out of 5 attempts. That's unusual. Had a pretty good look around here today, but only came up with what I assume were a few red herrings that may have nothing to do with the CO, or they were indeed the cache but too cleverly disguised for me to work out what to do with them. Oh well, it was still a nice day out in the sun. Thanks weandthekids.

TFTC nice camouflage that I found in the evening after along business day.
Greetings from a French geocacher

Fresh log.

I have also deleted a photo by a previous cacher that gave away the position of the cache too obviously.

After 113 consecutive days of not finding a cache we decided to find a few today.

I was surprised to see that Taekwondo World was next to the cache as they come to my school to teach taekwondo.
Nice quick find. I love the camo
The log was full so it needs a new log very soon.

TFTC.

Great camo. TFTC

Clever camouflage!

Great camouflage, geo son spotted it first.

Great camoflage

Hidden well. Fun

Nice easy quick find on a quiet Sunday. Good camo

Such a awesome camo. Took awhile to find it, but persistent me pays off. Happy caching ppl:)

Had no problems in finding this cache.Thanks weandthekids for the cache.

Great hide. Log is running out of room but I really liked the choice in container and the neatly rolled log. Will copy as too many logs get treated poorly. TFTC

Looked for Aaaages.
Read the logs suggesting slightly off GZ.
Kick and Stick.....OK! ...sweet chariot....OK
I know we must be close....we shall return.

Omg. Niceeeee camo. We had no pen so left some tape... kick it and stick itttt

Took us ages but we finally found it! Didn't have a pen but we left some tape

TFTC

Found it the cache it is size 3

Sneaky little cache, nice piece of camo!

Good camo

Good camo

Passing close we detoured over in between sporting events. We parked close and walked the short distance to GZ. A bit of a look and we soon spotted the nice bit of camo. We completed the signing duties and re hid. TFTC

Brilliant I loved this hiding spot!

This one is awesome! I was nearly going to call it quits, but the logs about good cammo made me determined to find it. So pleased I did, that was brilliant. Thanks!

TFTC. Nice hiding spot.

Once looking at the hint, I found quickly in short time. TFTC

Had been at tent city and the obligatory cache check found this one nearby. No pen so left some dirt marks on the page. Tftn

Tried to find it earlier today after dropping son at Peak Pursuits for a birthday but couldn't see it. Went and found another GC and came back to it and spotted it. Very nice camo. TFTC.

Finally spotted the little sucker! Checked out quite a few potential hiding spots, but felt quite vulnerable given the hive of activity nearby ... but not quite as vulnerable as those kicking the stuffing out of each other (trust me this'll make sense when & if you ever stop by here). After a quick PAF to a great new friend, I narrowed the options which was fortunate given that my coords had me about 6m out. SL / TFTC

I felt a little conspicuous today upon reaching GZ, but with a few casual glances and possible hiding spots, one thing in particular caught my eye. After waiting for a break in the traffic... gotcha. SL and returned to its hiding spot. TFTC weandthekids!

Couldnt find it today, hope you weren't watching

First go at Geocaching with papa bear aka RGSBruce.. tricksy little find kept us going for a while.

11:05, 19 July 2015. #207. Out for a quick hunt with geodaughter Wyntervale and geoniece Katie while shopping around Castle Hill. I can see why others didn't find this one. I reckon the power lines overhead were giving the iPhone GPS a hard time. Thank goodness for triangulation.

SL TFTC weandthekids.

11:05, 19 July 2015. #1. Out for a quick hunt with Wyntervale and RGSBruce. My first find!

SL TFTC weandthekids.

Cache check after recent DNFs. It's still there!

Just starting out....We were short for time - couldn't see it, still fun..... That's ok, hope to try again!

Walked around near the front of trees between Taekwondo & APEC House driveway. Kicked around a bunch of sticks and rubbish. Even opened a bottle that looked like it had notes in it but turned out to be rubbish.

MAN.... The logs all now make sense hahahaha I can't even tell you how long this took me... Awesome clue... and awesome "hide"/camo... VERY satisfying find.

Walked up here after looking at some tents at Rays Outdoors. Reach ground zero and had the CIH in under a minute for a nice change. SL and returned cache.

Found with Team Merlin great camo in plain site lucky for a few extra eyes.
Nice hide
TFTC

Not quite a park and grab as the cache took a little longer to locate. Out with JJCC and couldn't believe it when when found it as we were literally looking straight at the cache. Great camo weandthekids - TFTC. Camo and container all in top condition.

Third time lucky!!! Came with a new person this time and tim found it straight away!! Great hide! Man made, kookaburra sits!

I was passing through Castle Hill on the way home after spending the night in Sydney and was looking for a handy park'n'grab cache that wasn't too exposed to passing muggle traffic. This one seemed to fit the bill. It turned out, however, to be not quite the quick grab I had hoped for ... the cache wasn't where I had originally expected it to be from reading the hint, but was nevertheless soon found once I extended my search area a little. Nice camo, but it had been left in such a way that the cache itself was clearly visible as soon as I looked in the right direction. I replaced it so that the stash is less visible from afar.

Thanks to weandthekids for this nice hide.

Cache check due to recent DNFs. Cache is still there

Searched everywhere but couldn't find it. Read clues and posts but nothing will be back

Second time there in a few weeks, unsuccessful on both occassions. This ones starting to get in my nerves!!

Like many others, I was fooled by the cache name, which after a paf turned out to nothing like what I was expecting. I found it about 5m north of my GZ today. Great camo.

Well this took way longer than it should have. Class was in action nearby on a Saturday morning but GZ is sort of out of sight from there. I'd pretty much given up and had just done the TAF and the PAF when I spotted it right near the first place I'd looked. Signed and replaced.

Thanks!

Quick find after moving on from preconceived idea TFTC

Met up with snoopy at GZ, she beat me there and had been searching for 20 mins, I joined in the search. I think the cache name threw us off our game as we were positive on what the camo was going to be. After the hunger pains struck we decided to get help from a PAF. So simple yet so deceptive. SL #1808 on streak day #973 TFTC m

5/3/15. 4:11 PM. Cache #2293. Streak day #256. I came here about three hours earlier, but I was muggled out by a couple of gardeners working near the gates. My next target - my next closest 2015 cache - was "Prickly Pear", in Schofields. After finding that and then lunch / grocery shopping at Stanhope Gardens, I returned here on my way home.

This time, the coast was clear for a decent search. I tried a few spots over 10 minutes, but was getting nowhere. I had to hurry, what with groceries getting warmer in the boot, so I phoned a friend. But no sooner had we said a few words than I saw the clever camo without help. Nice one! TFTC }:)

Streak Day #602 - Arrived at GZ waiting for ris768, i was already getting hungry so i thought id have a poke around and see if i could find the goodies before ris768 got there, Nope was looking for something completely different and not quite lower than the cache. Couldnt believe how close i actually was to this very clever. TFTC

This one is a classic example of how easily the mind can be deceived. Nice job.

Thanks for deploying this cache.

Admired your create one - well done. Thanks weandthekids. Fav from me.

Found it.

Sorry, you weren't able to add observing this geocacher to your list. No one is in this street on a Sunday morning. Had a good look around and found nothing and was just about to move on when I looked from a different direction and spotted it.
Haven't seen this type of camo before in 955 caches, good one! Really blends in.
TFTC - the most successful thing I did today.

On the way home from a school working bee morning, I decided to make a short detour and find this cache. It was hot around the middle of the day, and thankfully no martial arts taking place on a Sunday, so apart from the occasional passing car, the area was quiet. Spent a few mins looking around various options, retreated to the shade to read a few previous finder logs, got an idea, kept looking and after another couple of minutes saw something matching the description and soon had CIH. Very cheeky little hide! SL and replaced hopefully as intended. TFTC weandthekids!

This one took a bit longer than it should have, but at least it was a muggle free time. Loved the simple but effective camo. TFTC.

Nice hide.

SL TFTC

I wasn't too sure what to expect by the name of this cache. I kept looking as the hint said without much luck, well without attracting unwanted attention.
As I was considering to call it quits, I looked in a different spot and there it was!
Thanks for the cache.

Detoured here before work, with torch in hand which usually adds an extra star on difficulty but this mourning the torch beam spotted it for me.. Nice camo work, liking these hides, thanks weandthekids

Despite good coordinates the camo took a while to spot.

TFTC.

Another new cache in my 5km radius. Parked and started searching. Thought this would be a DNF and then sure enough, something looked out of place, what's that?? Ohhh, there you are! SL and replaced. Well done weandthekids, nice hide. That's clever. A FAV from me. TFTC.

Another Sunday another new cache close to home. Although a bit overdressed for caching, Geohubby and I jumped into the car and headed over straight after church once I checked emails and noticed the newly published cache. We had the pleasure of meeting Gatherer Hade who was suspiciously loitering around the area. The clue could have been a couple of different things and after a cursory search at one we extended our search area and I quickly spotted something a bit out of place. A clever bit of camo revealed the cache and a nice empty log sheet.
Signed for a joint {*FTF*} replaced and snuck off back home.
Having spent many a fruitless afternoon attending various classes in the area I'm sure others will appreciate the distraction of a cache around here.
TFTC

Missed FTF by 20 mins had a good look around and spotted something. Tried to protect log from the rain, but log already a bit damp. TFTC (Dried log out over car vents.)

#1515 (2 of 2 today)

I was floundering around pointlessly at Go Fish AGAIN! when this one was published. Well an outside chance of getting a First to Find, so "Why not?" thought I.

Arrived and started my search. I checked a few obvious spots and a few less obvious. After about 10 minutes a suspicious car pulls up directly over the road )just as I'd stepped back a bit to try and get a different perspective) and out pop jmaxadventures and husband to join the search (nice to meet you both).
I outlined what I had checked and it was one spot, near another I'd looked closely at that jmaxadventures found the prize.
Well at least the coordinates are good as I was getting more and more convinced during the search of the area to scour - and that's exactly where it was.

Joint *FTF*.

Time to wander home via lunch.

TFTC

Arrived near GZ and thought about where I would hide a cache here and search around a bit and had nothing. Waited for the GPS to settle and had a better fix on GZ and saw something ever so slightly different, " ahhhj cache" did the legals and replace as found. TFTCM
Cheers
