Hazelbrook Bowling Club Hazelbrook, New South Wales, Australia
By Twem78 on 17-Apr-15. Waypoint GC5RMAW

(5 of 10 today - including 2 Adventure Labs)Thought for today's finds I would do a lazy wander between Sun Valley and Lawson. That said, my first two finds weren't exactly "lazy" with a bit of terrain to negotiate.Two DNFs for the day - both by the same CO - were as downer, but one more nice bush hide as well as finishing with two ALs brightened things back up.A good haul.###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###Wasn't sure what to expect here. Only one bowling muggle - on the far rink. And all the others were getting sloshed... or something.Gort to GZ and something quickly grabbed my attention. Oh, that is it. Nicely done.Completed signing duties, replaced and out of there before anyone sobered up enough to ask me why I was there.SLTNLNTFTC

After an evening nap, off to pick up one teen muggle from a party midnight. Make the most, by grabbing a few finds up here. Here is my third attempt as the earlier visits were out-muggled by bowlers, picnickers and drinkers during the summer months Now its 11:25 pm with the club premises deserted. Thanks Twem78 for this fun cache.

Found it with Millie , Charlie and Amy

Thanks twem78. Shhhh be very quiet, lots of muggles about. Great tips and hide.

Good one! A cute and well hidden item.

got caught but was fun

Tricky smort

We tried to look like we were checking out the bowling green as potential members. Somehow we got away with it. Great fun

Tried to look inconspicuous.. like potential bowling members. We seemed to get away with it!

My favourite one I've done so puzzling and enjoyable it felt like I was playing a video game seeking around and being stealth

Visited it during 28-days geotrip to Australia, N.Caledonia, Vanuatu, Fiji, Am.Samoa, Fr.Polynesia with Marci, Ch. Sometimes we logged as "MT" or "Jonea" or "MTCh". Thanks for showing nice caches and places. MT-Jonea from Brno city in Czechia EU.

Wow I'm impressed took me 20 mins to find

Found it with diantemtb24 great spot

A cool cache. Didn't take long to find this one. Tftc

Good cache found after a short search. No one took any notice of us.

We had a little spare time after arriving, so made the most of the remaining daylight with a few finds around Hazelbrook.
What a bowling ballsy hide!
We were wondering if we were in the right place for a bit!
TFTC!

Pretty hard find with all the spots here, the images definitely helped us get to the right spot then we soon had the CIH…

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache Twem78

I was here.

Well that's a very cheeky hide.
I can't believe it has lasted so long being as it is in such an exposed location.

There were some bowlers on the other green. I tried to make look like I was supposed to be checking things. I did have to stand back and get the bigger picture to spot the cache though!
Signed the log and replaced without arousing any suspicions.

TFTC # 5349

On our way home from a weekend at Blackheath, and we pulled over for a few quick cache stops along the way.

Cheers

Glad I left the kids at the park, they may have struggled with the stealth for this one. TFTC

Finding a few caches with oldmorty while travelling back to Sydney after our Christmas break.
We've been here several times and each time we've been muggled out.
Being an overcast day with some rain, oldmorty and I thought we'd give it one more go. Obviously, rain does not deter these tough Hazelbrook bowlers.
We were able to sneak around the back and approache GZ from there. With no-one in sight, we began our search.
Oh no...... we've been spotted by the greenkeeper and he was heading our way. "Have you found it?", was not what I expected him to say. We hadn't by then. With a little nod, I soon had the cache in my hand.
Thank you Twem78 for placing this cache.

Time for frazeydaze and I to head back to our seaside retreat from our mountains retreat, where we have been the past week, but not before grabbing a few caches along the way.

Well this was the third time that I've visited this cache. On previous occasions I was muggled out after a short search. Today with no one around other than the greenkeeper mowing the greens we had a brief search before we noticed that the greenkeeper was keeping a close eye on us. We were about to walk away again when the greenkeeper called out "did you find it". He walked over and gave frazeydaze a hint and it was CIH. A very clever cache hide. I'm so glad to put this one to bed.

TFTC with Boogierogue

Found

Sometimes jet lag is a blessing. Was heading back to Sydney super early this rainy Sunday and it was perfect to be able to manage to grab this guy. Def on private property it it’s a great container. TFTC

Nice quick find. People were about but we powered on. Great cache.

Great cache. Love the camo.
Needs a new log.thoTFTC

Are you serious!?!?! This is the third time I’ve been here to find this one. Usually too many muggles!!! Finally found the holey wall !! Clever!! Thanks for the cache, log is looking quite tatty. Great camo!

Very quiet around here this morning’. I like the container. Couldn’t sign log. TFTC

Didn’t have a pen but fun to be stealthy

Dinner with friends and a quick find.

Having dinner at the club, easy find after all these years finally looked for this one.

Tftc - easy find loved the cache it’s might need a new log

Great secret location. Found on a quiet covid day

Last time attempting this cache there was people everywhere. Thanks covid for making it easier

Very tricky. Def on private property. Thanks heaps

Nice little spot. Can’t imagine how hard it would be when filled with muggles

Out on my daily iso walk. One of the recent logs confused me a bit as it is not in the chemical store room, but still where other photos suggest it is and near the BBQ outdoors, not anywhere inside. But it is definitely a very awkward spot and hope it has permission to be there. Only went for it because of lockdown. TFTC

TFTC

Went there, its in the old toilets on private property now a chemical store room, go there at your own risk I think, needs to be removed and relocated...

This one was a bit tricky, I needed a log photo as well as a lot of stealth to locate it. TFTC!

Nice hide!

Too many muggles to find this one. I will return to find it when the time is right.

Found it

This is the first geocache we found

Thanks for the cache

Found it

Lovely club. This isn’t on public property though, surely?

Tftf

Is it on public property?

Found it!

Way to many muggles to make an attempt today. Will come back again

Too many muggles to try and find this cache. But never fear cause we will return and find this cache

Found but forgot a pen !

Found with photo but coordinations are off

Second try- tftc!

Found during isolation 2020. #boredom

This not a first attempt. The photos certainly helped. A most unexpected location. Liked the camo very cleaver.

DĚKUJI ZA LOG KEŠKY.

Merry Christmas! Perfect day to find it no one about

děkuji za log kešky

Love the cameo!!, let geochild run about on the green for a while.

I was too scared to ask if we could look for it

I found the spot, but it wasn’t there

Nice hide

TFTC

Found the holey wall but it wasn’t there

Hhh

Found on my birthday with RSTEWAR, thanks for hiding! This isn't a sport played in the US, so it was neat to learn about lawn bowling.

Sneaky spot

Tyftc

Didn’t get to find this one. My second try. Felt way too self conscious.

Really good hide, looks like it’s part of the place, especially under the best bowling club in nsw

Easy find after work at the bowlo

More obvious perhaps than you think

AMAZING FIND , LOVED IT

Easy little park and grab. Met a croquet player who invited us for a game whilst we were there. Explained that our hiking boots might be a bit rough on the greens. All good fun. TFTC

Spent the morning geocaching in the Hazelbrook area with Geobrother (Forereach) and nonGeo Mrs Forereach and carried on after lunch solo. Ventured into some lovely areas during the day and enjoyed this part of the world. Thanks to all COs for their great work in placing and maintaining the caches. please excuse the generic log (which has been tailored slightly for some of the caches). Received an invitation to join the crochet group while we were there!!!

Tftc

Tyftc, thanks mate. Told you I'd find it eventually.

Well disguised cache!

A quick find with Snoopy1976 today

Thanks to Twem78 for placing and maintaining this cache.

Streak Day #1994 - Up this way with Dave8153 to find our cache of the day, we have been to this place many times before but never walked over to GZ simply due to muggles. Felt very awkward here even with no muggles around today. Hoping there is permission for this cache to be there as it felt like we were trespassing, anyhoo found the cache within a few mins of getting to GZ. TFTC

Found

Tftc. Not a soul to be seen at 1018am. Could hear someone vacuuming upstairs. As we were leaving, the vacuumer asked if we were ok. All good we said and gave a wave.

11.10am. A couple of men were playing a game so we felt a bit conspicuous and couldn't spot it so departed. As we were leaving the groundsman called out "Did you find it?" When we confessed we hadn't, he took us back and the large sheet of chip board against the wall was hiding the cache. He lifted the board and we extracted the cache. Replaced it so it can be reached without moving the board.
Thank you. David and Noeline.

Tftc - nice easy find, thankfully no games were played

Felt very suss looking here, good one! TFTC!

Too many muggles. Will come back another time.

Easy

Quick find with some friends of the geokids. TFTC
