Assuming we found today where it’s supposed to be but must have gone for a swim
Couldn’t find it. Checked all the grates and storm water drains and manholes etc but no luck
A great 30 second find. A very creative and fitting name. Was very hard getting the sign sheet out. TFTC
Coordinates seemed to be out by a little distance. Well thats my excuse for taking so long to find it and I'm sticking too it. tftc
Hint helped but there was quite a few R and D’s. When we fought the right R and D we found it pretty easily. TFTC
Resorted to the hint and had CIH quickly (after spending a long time widening search too far by the lure of previous logs!). Coords a little off but not too far off!! We shoulda stuck to our instincts (and checked the hint sooner). TFTC SurFrash
I was looking in the wrong spot for about 10 or 15 minute then widen my search and found the cache straight away

71# Quick and easy find. Was very nevess that I would drop it because if I did it would be game over. TFTC
This cache took some time to find. Checked a couple of places and found nothing. Moved to another area and the cache was soon found. Carefully retrieved the cache and then the log was signed. The cache was then replaced as found. Thank you SurFrash for placing this cache.
This cache was found ........ eventually. After arriving at GZ and finding nothing that was of interest, we used our limited knowledge of anything to do with ninja turtles and came up with a different thought. So, working on that idea, the search area was widened considerably and the cache was found in the last option that was possibly relevant. We were very happy to make the find and do the log signing duty. The cache was the replaced very carefully in just the right place.
Thanks SurFrash for a hide well hidden from muggles.

Last cache for today before heading back home. Not sure if it is the tiniest cache we ever found, I think we have found ones that are thinner. Try to find one of these somewhere on a big cannon
We managed to park almost on GZ and the cache was soon found after some acrobatic exercises.

Have passed by this many times but today decided to stop. As I read the description was intrigued by the tiniest cache ever and how this could be smaller than a nano. Soon found where I was meant to be, took a seat, and put my hand on the cache. Signed and returned. TFTC.
After searching for a bit, a little help received from the neighbours. TFTC.

Third visit to GZ for this one but armed with a better idea regarding a sense of direction, made a much quicker find of this nemesis hide.
We think we know where it is, but a parked car makes the search look a little suspicious! Will come back later!
Came back to retry and the car had moved. Exactly where we thought!! Very cleverly hid
The park is 50 meters away from the given location. So is it in the park or in the tiny garden.

Over a year ago I managed to fail dismally here. I was sure I had the right spot, but came up empty handed. Since then this green dot on my map has mocked me!
After avenging a DNF yesterday, thought I'd have another go at this one.
Arrived mid morning and no one in sight.
I'd read some previous logs and they had given me a thought. But nothing spotted. rechecked the area I'd looked at last time.
Still nothing.
Then comments by two different finders I'd read came together. I wonder.
CIH!
Oh that's sneaky. And now so much makes sense!
Made the grab and took well away to complete signing duties. Then back for the replace.
The CO may want to do some maintenance as there is only one spot left on the log.

I met sevabo at other location and we couldn't find the cache and we gave it up so we decided to go to other cache then we come here and found it in a min as last time we couldn't find it but oh stump me as it is easily but last time a car was blocked me to get access anyway thank you SurFrash for bringin us here. Also to celebrating 17 years of geocaching today too.
We need to log one cache to get the souvenir for celebrate 17th year of Geocaching. Found it with skyejam, that was our 2nd attempted and thanks for leading us here
Took me 20mins before I decided to leave. As I sat on the other side of the road between R&D I saw it. 100% frustrating if your looking from above
I'm writing this log while waiting for the muggle to go back inside so I can place the cache back in its position. Good co ords and the hint was a dead giveaway. TFTCM

sevabo and I searched high and low and stretch along the footpath but we still cant find it. the reason is that I felt not comfortable and cant concentrate doing this because I feels like too exposed so we gave it up and one day we will come back here.
This was my first go at geo was working across the road so went for a look ty nice spot
Feeling really drained after a massive day around The Hills and Hawkesbury.
Found with Jessika10001, #20 on our Good Friday Spree! TFTC, thanks for a challenging final find for the day!

Found the cache, looked really suspectious as there was a car parked right next to it.
A little further up the road than expected.... Thanks for the legendary cache
Not a lot of time today between shopping with the Geowife and going out to dinner for Geoson #2's birthday. Most of the time I did have was taken up by appalling traffic on Old Windsor Road - both ways! Went for three and found two of them.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION ###
As a previous finder noted, there are really two spots to check here.
Checked both - and another, but nothing spotted today.
Felt a little suss checking where I did, though.
No time for an extended search so had to give it up.

I'd been here once before but got muggled out without searching. No finds on this one for months then a flurry again so today I dropped by and found it in the second spot I looked. Coords off a bit but there's only two places to look. Signed and replaced.
Thanks!
Thanks!
Came by and parked on the other side. Walked over the grass to GZ. I was searching at the very front of someone's house and was getting nervous, before I started reading logs and Rainbow Spirits made sense. Soon after I had the cache as well, but over 10 metres out. SL and replaced. The hint does help! TFTC.
I was parked across the road and spotted the cache easily. Made a careful grab so as not to drop, and then carefully replaced, thanks.
Pretty much a park and grab, although the GPS wanted me further down the street. It may pay to take a few more GPS measurements over a few days, then average the results. It took me longer to roll the log up again than it did to find the cache. Felt very conspicuous, although most of the houses here seemed quiet. I definitely wouldn't attempt this one in early morning or late afternoon/evening, for fear of arousing suspicion of nearby residents. It wasn't that long ago that it was all farmland through here. The drive down Memorial Ave (Burns Rd) used to be a nice leisurely drive through the countryside. Now it seems like a busy shortcut to everywhere. How things change! Thanks SurFrash.
This cache was an aggravating little so and so, as others have noted it is well off coords (around 14m).
When I eventually realised where it was, there was a 4WD parked over it! Then I accidently dislodged the little sucker and I couldn't retrieve it the easy way (remember the 4WD!), so it was off to the car to grab an attractive retrieval tool. It will fail again for sure, it just doesn't have enough attraction to the surrounding material.
Maybe a rethink is in order here.

This was the only find for today. I was in the area but too early to head to the next student's house so I decided to attempt this cache. The sat nav directions aren't so good in these new estates so I kept my eye on the map and soon enough, found the location. I parked nearby and having remembered the hint, found GZ straight away. I checked the Ninja Turtle's home from various angles and soon spied the cache. SL. TFTC.

Yes, no need here to invade people's front yards, it's definitley on council land.
Found the hint, found the cache in under 4 mins.
This hide reminds me of stage 2 of my multi-cache "The Ponds" (now archived).
Thanks for the hide SurFrash.

Had some spare time between dropping off and pickup up geo-kids from a birthday party nearby so decided to find this one. GZ had me in someone's front yard, so after reviewing previous logs I moved away an appropriate distance and found something that would possibly related to the cache theme. A few minutes of checking drew a blank, so I PAFed who informed me I was quite wrong and needed to be in a completely different location. Once the hint was explained, the cache was an easy find, although it took quite a long while to extract the log. Tricky little hide, thankfully it was fairly quiet as I was able to retreive and replace the cache without drawing attention to myself. Accurate to the theme however perhaps it might have been more interesting hiding a cache in the nearby park? (which looks quite pretty btw). SL TFTC SurFrash!
Eventually got back to look for this one. GPS had me 14m off, thankfully the hint worked well. TFTC

It took a while to figured out where it will be. Once I found the location, I accidently knock the cache out of its hide. Yes, I climbed down to retrieve it. That's what happens when you try to hide a cache like this. TFTC.
It took a bit of searching around until I found something that matched the hint. Only then did I get the reference to the cache name.
Thanks for the cache.
Thanks for the cache.
#3015- This one had me going for a short while. It seemed As if it was dangerously close to the houses, but then I wandered looking for something that matched the clue. Not really what I had expected to find- and then I turned it up. Thanks
18/5/15. 2:56 PM. Cache #2514. Streak day #330.
After finding the final 9 caches of the Windsor Road Power Trail, I returned the bike to the car at Rouse Hill Town Centre and stopped for lunch. On the way home, I wanted to drop by this one to make it 10 for the day. I looked in a few places but could see nothing resembling the hint, so I resorted to a PAF.
This sent me to another area where all of a sudden the hint made sense. I got myself into position for an easy find. It wasn't the tiniest cache I've ever seen, but it was as I suspected, a fairly common tiny type. TFTC.

A little off where it said it was. Met some nice neighbours which might give you a hand.
Streak Day #665 - Sadly i needed to PAF this one as i was at the wrong GZ and it was cold. TFTC
