The Dam Artists Warragamba, New South Wales, Australia
By The Booos on 26-Oct-15. Waypoint GC61HFX

Due to constant mugging and vandalism

taking off line until after the dam festival this week

Didn’t attempt this cache as there were muggle children using the art work and it wouldn’t look good for a old bloke looking around for something.
Cheers

Awesome!

Oh my goodness twenty tiny! That was fun! Hubby is on a roll. Don’t forget your skateboards and scooters for this one. Easy to get to. Watch your fingers!

Headed west today to explore around Warragamba and learn its history, after a visit to the dam itself we stopped here.

This was super sneaky.......perfect placement and perfect placement !

A nice splash of colour with the artwork

I loved the camo on this one. Tftc

The skate park was empty today which made this easier. Mr Minion was on fire today making a really quick find here which could have taken a lot longer it blends in nicely. The rip mural is a bit sad but well done. Thanks for the cache The Booos tnln replaced as found sl

Easy one, thanks

Out cache with oldmorty on a big day. This one of many caches we found along our travels. Thanks to all the cache owners for maintaining their caches
Like the paint job

Out today for a day’s caching with marj01, no bush bashing, just park and grab. After heading off pre-dawn from the eastern suburbs we visited the towns of Wallacia, Warragamba, Narellan, The Oaks and Nattai. Lots of caches were found; on the ground, dangling in trees, on signs, in stumps and even one in a haunted house. Whilst most of the caches were familiar we did strike some very ingenious ones. A large percentage of the finds were quick, however, there were some that had us scratching our heads for a while. All in all, it was a very enjoyable day out and I would like to thank all the CO's of the caches for hiding and maintaining the caches that we visited. And yes, I did read the reason/history for each cache in the lead up to the trip. Don't know what happen to these young chaps - I guess a car crash.

Out and about with Happy Uke again today. We met up again with our good friend Blueandgolder. The three of us were keen on hunting own some caches for the good of humanity.

Thanks for this one.

Picked today for another raid on Warragamba. Finalf29 and I met up with Blueandgolder to start a wonderful day of searching, scrambling, bush bashing and laughing. We each had a hero moment with a spectacular find. Thanks to all the CO's for giving us a fun day... we started off slow, but ended up finding twenty!

This was our first for the day. Clever camo. Just found it in time... signing log when a family of skateboarders arrived. Thanks

A late start to the day saw us gathering fewer caches than we had expected. We opted to explore the Warragamba region with our geofriends HubbyandMrs. We met up with them at the pub in Wallacia for a good feast before caching through the afternoon into the sunset.

Again, this is one of those containers that I despise the most. A pesky little nano. My eyes just never seem to spot these things.

HubbyandMrs made the find and soon we had signed the log and replaced just as we had found it.

Initially geohubby had gone in search of this cache while I was in parent duties. He later returned without a find. Then it was my turn, with the hint that it was well camo to checked every nook and cranny, then hubbyandmrs arrived. I asked hubbyandmrs to check a location I thought that it might have been but was physically challenged, soon hubbyandmrs had CIH. We signed and returned to its well camoed location.

Out caching with Happy Uke and Final29. Happy Uke found it easily.

Out with geofriends around Wallacia today. Hubby found this little fella...he seems to have a knack finding these ones.. TFTC

It was another quick find here even though the GPS tried to lead me astray. It was fairly easy to pick the best spots to look. I do like the nice bit of extra camouflage.

Escaped carer's duties for my mother and walked over from the BBQ shed in the nearby park to find this at very accurate cords.

Pretty sure I found the cable tie that use to hold it there ... bummed as!!

Fun & found easy. Peter Anne Dave

Out caching with ziggiau on this beautiful Boxing Day. We made the area around Warragamba dam unsafe and had a great time! All the best for 2018 for all the COs!

Quick find by ziggiau after I managed to not spot it. Nice paintings, and we managed to not embarrass ourselves in front of a kid skateboarding. TFTC!

It's Boxing Day so what better to do than go out and find boxes? This was our first find of the day with only one muggle skater in the park. Quick find on a brilliant day for caching. Thanks The Boos.

TFTC! Great little cache well camouflaged

As my learner driver at home needed some hours, we decided to head for the dam event and find a few caches on the road. This was one of them and we really enjoyed our hole day. Tricky little find.

Another quick find while here for the local event. Thanks for the little hide

Confronted by a fence with some metres more to go, noted a comment in a previous log that had me taking a different approach to GZ and a quick find. Lucky it was a school day and no muggles about.

Good find

While standing on the footpath outside the chainlink fence we contemplated the gps saying it was still 7 m away. well how to we get inside said fence, you look around and spot the obvious gate, that's how. once on the right side we were lucky enough to have the park to ourselves and made the find fairly quickly. tftc

Found later this afternoon. Be careful of spiders!

With a pile of skate-boarding teenagers becoming increasingly curious about the three adults staring at and caressing a nearby wall, we quickly gave up on this one. We will have to come back on a less populated day and expand our search area.

Found it, thanks.

Cache replaced

New cache, new log all good

Found with the boos like meeting a celeb

just wondering if by any chance this cache could be replaced and activated by 9th apr as we will be in area to get most caches and would like to add this cache to the found list.

cache is MIA

No luck today

Daaaaam no luck for me today!!!

Couldn't find this one, even though I had a previous finder with me.

Had a good long search but no luck this trip - next time maybe !

Found with JoPS87 after the A Dam Meeting 2016 Event.

Found after the A Dam Meeting 2016 event. Found with RangerD. TFTC.

Had a bit of a hunt but started to generate a fair bit of interest from the local shade board park so gave it up. Maybe another day!

Off to the Warragamba today to pick a few caches on the way. Quick find. TFTC found on Friday but only just found out how to log an archived cache.

Dam Fest over for another year now cache all good now

taking off line for the weekend due to the Dam Fest

Very sneaky!

05 September 2016 11:39:34 OK I hate cut and paste logs so will try my best to add a little something different to each log I post. Code 1 and myself were out on our annual caching run weekend. So some of our logs read both names but to save room on micros and nano’s etc we used CJ1. Like most of our past trips a little homework was needed to work out a suitable location, route and to build lists and PQs, with this done and set we found our self’s in the Camden location. A great range of finds and styles were located with a great deal of questioning over some of the posted difficulties and terrains.
JABs.

Found on a weekend invasion of my old romping ground with JAB's.
It's crazy to see how much the area I grew up in has changed over the years.
I was sidetracked with a PAF needing a hint on one we found the day before and didn't realize that JABs had found this one.
Not bad artwork either.

Find 5095 logged from c:geo.

We visited the dam today and found this after.
Thank you

Quick find. Nicely hidden.Tftc

A couple of muggles walking their dogs while I was there, found quickly,tftc

Tftc easy park and grab on gameday

Caching with Phantom Cyclist was the order of the day again today. We decided to pick up a few caches around the Warragamba area where we have not been for a while. Reading previous logs helped eliminate some areas but even so this one was missed on the first pass. Only on the second detailed inspection did this one appear. It does blend very well with its surroundings. Thank you to The Booos for putting this cache out to draw attention to some local art work.

Went out with goingplaces2 to collect a few caches in the Warragamba area. This cache took some time to find. The cache blends in well. We both signed the log and replaced the cache back where it was found. Thank you The Booos for placing this cache.

Tftc. 2nd time lucky for us. Last time we focussed too much on the mural. Mrs jaybeem spotted it with her eagle eye.

Found 21/5 TFTC

And there it was... in the last most obvious place we searched... TFTC

nice quiet skate park, great for practicing tricks on my skateboard, nice mural. TFTC : )

Started my own account Found with/as Lucky Cricket

TFTC

Nice one blended in well.

One of the first places checked, but missed it on the first sweep. No body at the skate park today, our geokids loved having the place to themselves, they get intimidated when there's older kids doing tricks etc... Great memorial & a great project. Well done Booo Booo for your involvement & The Booos for this cache xo

Found with 1Ls #1. TFTC.

I think I was expecting something to be a part of the artwork, as I read a log about seeing it from the "right angle." Oh well, we found it regardless. TFTC

#2525 (14 of 15 today) (Streak day 217)

After a week where I only had time to nab 8 caches, today I was free to binge!
So I headed west our Luddenham / Warragamba way where there were still lots of caches to be found. Of course this meant I was back in the land of The Booos - so I needed to steel myself for a few DNFs.

As well as a few DNFs there was one muggled cache. And of course what started out a a hot morning turned wet pretty quickly, making the occasional traipse through the bush extra fun...
[center]END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION[/center]
Parked in the "car park" and walked into the skate park.

Checked one obvious area before spreading out and checking a different obvious area. CIH!
Completed signing duties and replaced.

Interesting memorial - and not gratified over a decade later. That says a lot.

Egads, that was a sneaky one, it blends in so well. I had looked right at it and still didn't see it. Eventually I had to paf...

Streak Day #859 - ZOriginally found on the 1st Nov but as it wasnt published until a couple of days after the event, i did not want to mess my stats so returned here today and almost forgot where we had actually found it lol. TFTC

I had a good laugh here as my boys failed to spot the cache for a few minutes. I got the right angle for an easy find!?!

TFTC.

We found the three new caches in the area this morning. Strangely enough, this was the easiest of the three for me. I walked in, took a look at one obvious spot to look - no luck there - and then went to another spot and saw it immediately. The WaywardWoman was still trying to get her bearings I think, so she was taken by surprise. Thanks

#3295- I wasnt able to get down for the event, but today we had the dam area almost to ourselves, except a security guard.Thankfully he just drove past and didn't hassle us, like another we had an issue with at Prospect reservoir. bikerbuddy found it while I was still checking things out. He was on a roll today. Well done BoooBooo- nice to see a bit of brightening in these parks.

It was wet, but the gates were open so i drove right up to the feature. Looking around I narrowed the hiding place down to two objects, but it was still illusive.
A PAF punted me to the obvious thing that i ruled out.
Thanks for the cache.

The rain had started to fall so there was no one at the skate park making this an easy find this afternoon, thanks.

This one had us stumped, we looked high and low.

We were getting frustrated and so a call to CO was the only way,

We were looking at the right place but the camo was far too good..

I suggest no muggles will ever find that one!

TFTC

#499 found at the event with Paul the Hippy (he did the hard work for me) Thanks for the cache. Signed the log

Published

Yes... A joint *FTF* with Team Webguy. Thanks Team Booo for placing these here for all of us to enjoy. Great facilities here

Found it with snoopy1976 and contactpete. Thanks

Nice easy find while attending The Booos event.
TFTC.

Tronador was going to find these 3 caches and whitemushroom and myself decided to tag along. This one was proving to be too camouflaged. Though we were receiving hints from two cachers near by who hadn't left the area. Tronador made the find right in front of my eyes literally. . TFTC.

Found during A Dam meeting. Nice mural painting Hannah and friends.

At The Booos A Dam Meeting event where the coords of three caches awaiting riblit's release were available.

Joining with tronador and bisygisy - likely under the belief that with one find each, it was the 'mushroom's turn to contribute to the 'team' effort - for the seek ... a cross country amble from the event. At the GZ, Paul the Hippy and phlphotos were lingering after their find with obtuse hints to guide a way.

It was to tronador that the 'Found it' was claimed, but in defense of an abject failure to add to the 'team' effort I can sincerely claim that bisy blocked a line of sight. Thank you to The Booos for the cache.

Found this one after leaving the event, then entertained as I watched other teams look for it.

TFTC TNLN

Took a few minutes, but got there in the end for a joint FTF with J&Jau. Blends very well.

Last unpublished cache provided to attendees at the event. The mushrooms log made me laugh. True. ... I eventually made this find. Staring straight at it and still couldn't see it. FTF dibs should go to the first finder after publication. Thanks for the added enjoyment during the event. Well done on the at work Boo boo.
