Upon spotting the likely hiding spot I was convinced I wouldn't be able to reach it, but amazingly my fingertips just managed. Then I briefly panicked that I would lose it before I had a good grip! Thankfully luck was on my side, and the cache was soon signed and replaced without incident.
Heads up for other cachers: I'm 5'3"/161cm. If you're shorter, bring a tall friend.

Found! Very sneaky hide, found it after we were fooled by another likely spot. TFTC
Nice easy find. Walked straight up to it . Nice quiet except cars zapping past . TFTC. Lovely area and lots of history
Catching up on some local caches while the geomissus gets her hair done. After initially having no success, I returned after some help from my geo buddies. Could have sworn I’d looked there! Bugger. Retrieved and signed and took in the layout of this interesting area!

Awesome hide! My son loved the horses and cow and was amazed at the age of the building! TFTC
#342 - no horses alas, but we did manage to find this very quickly, given the fact that my GPS was misbehaving. TFTC!
Got to the location and something caught my eye straight away. Pulled it out and there it was. Thank you!
With Mizcupcake on a geoventure through the Wollondilly area today and picking up caches now in the dark. Having picked up all the other caches on the road we actually couldn’t believe we missed this one. Parking the geomobile close to gz tonight we jumped out and immediately had CIH. Not believing it till we opened the log to sign, we were surprised at how fast this one was. I think it was a bit of instinct taking over. TFTC!
Found with Littl3Vix. Anther great park and grab especially as this late in the evening, the street didnt have much traffic. After jumping out and sussing out the area, there was only one real place that stood out. After a quick check, I felt something similar to a recent find and pulled out the cache. We jumped back in the car, completed signing duties and I returned it after a passing car. Thannks for the cache!
The rain is supposed to be setting in by now but I hope to pick up a few more smileys before it really does... TFTC
Super quick park and grab. I was a little nervous trying to put it back! Loved the horses! Tftc!
Find # 5661
Found with sesblocker.
Using Bent's Basin as a base, we've ventured out to collect a few smileys.

Today I teamed up again with marj01 for another day of caching, this time around the Narellan/Camden/Cobbity areas. We had a very enjoyable and adventurous day visiting the cache locations, finding a heap of hides but also a few DNF's along the way.
A quick find. TFTC.

A bit of a history lesson with this one also.
Wife muggle was letting me know all that was in A Place to Call Home!
For me, a quick retrieve, sign and replace!

Surprised this has not been found for a long time. The coordinates are spot on and it does not take much effort to locate. The cache is in good order for the next finder. One more from The Booos as my daily find.
PS Looks like the cokeaddict did not look inside!

Streak Day #1545 - Out with dave8153 for a quick find, however i think we may have signed the incorrect date thanks to the public holiday lol i never seem to know what the dates are when i have a day off. TFTC
Great hiding spot, but I was worried I would drop it and there would be no way to retrieve it.
Thanks
Thanks
Heading to the central coast via the blue mountains for the weekend, I stopped here along the way to make a night find,Found with geodog.
Thankyou for the cache
Thankyou for the cache
Found with nissan 65 on a two night/day caching adventure from the south coast. Thanks for the cache Log Replaced. Left old one.
Suspect hiding method confirmed as I pulled alongside GZ for a quick PnG between passing muggle traffic.
8th find with Bec and Ollie (geopup) on our drive to Camden.
A nice quick find, thanks for the cache.
BnBnO!!

We parked up the road and walked down. Lucky geodad had his wits about him making this a quick find. I was looking somewhere else...
Lovely old building. A friendly horse wandered over for a pat. The log is full. A favourite for bringing me here. TFTC The Booos.
Had a great morning caching in Narellan/Camden and surrounds. Quit a few DNF, but I am getting used to that. Most caches were very well accesable and in good condition, thanks to all the owners for placing them! Like this style of buildings!

Just realised I have forgotten to log my cache finds. Found this in November. I did sign the log so you should find my chicken scratch squiggled across the page. TFTC. Love this place
Nice hide!!! and good information on all your cache hides, thanks Heaps!!! and TFTC
I found this cache as a joint part of “Team” *Throsbyonchurch* and in which name the log book was signed. I now have my own account as I’m old enough to cache myself, so I am claiming a fair share of my earlier finds. As I had no caching name at the time there's no log in the book for me but I’m claiming the find under team ToC. Thank you for the hide.

Cache in good condition.
A gorgeous sunny spring day for geocaching, albeit a bit windy and a tad nippy. Today we left home much later than I had wanted, nevertheless, we scored a nice bucket of cache finds - if I get 10 in a day I am happy, and anything else is a bonus. Today 11 Finds, 1 Trig, some Waymarks and a few attempted DNF. Traveling away from home I don't waste time hanging around trying to find a cache if I haven't located it in the first five minutes. I like to make the most of my day out and I know I will be coming back again in the future. I was thinking of heading out to The Oaks and Burragorang today: but started tossing up staying in Camden as I have previously found it a good place for picking up caches quickly and easily. I discovered today that Camden is NOT the centre for cache quick picks, I think I just got lucky the first time I came here. Anyway, I ended up staying in Camden and attached a good number of The Boos caches and had an amazingly wonderful time doing so.
This cache was in hand fairly quickly. Thank you for the hide.
I have to give a favourite point for this cache. Not only was it a good hide, but I am so happy you brought me here. I absolutely love Kirkham Stables, such an amazingly gorgeous building. I was so intrigued I wanted to go and have a look, but I didn't, private property and all, must be respectful. But what also topped it off was one of their mares came over to the fence to say hello. She was just beautiful and very gentle with us. She enjoyed a pat and some scraps of grass that we could find. We love talking to the animals on our country trips, it's so much fun. At one point I called for my Sprout (child) as we were leaving and the mare got in on the act moments after with a whinny. It was almost as if she was telling my Sprout to hurry up. Such a beautiful time spent at that location.

Stopped to pick this one up with geo-gangstas senior. His knee was too sore to attempt the new caches nearby so park and grabs were a bit better suited for the morning while we waited for an appointment. Good decision as we happened to spot the booo-mobile leaving the area the new ones were in! This was nice and quick and the only one that earned me a smiley since I was kindly taking GG to some of the ones he'd not found before. TFTC
AWTYOW pulled over and I pretty much reached out of the car for this one! Saw the booo's leaving the nearby new caches - that trackable on the back of the car caught our attention! TFTC
Followed my GPS and it took my straight to the cache.Have seen this type of hide before so an easy find this time TFTC
