Half Court - Empty Court!I wasn't planning to come here today but after a great day in the Scheyville and Pitt Town areas I turned into Rouse Hill Drive to check out the entry to the venue from this direction. I'll be back here in 2 weeks so I was planning to grab it that day.The caching gods were smiling on me today.2 finds already using this fantastic TOTT I've borrowed from C62 and now driving down the road a street parking spot appeared, exactly in line with GZ!After a quick dart across through the traffic, and some stairs negotiated I was at a familiar GZ. This time I was able to reach the cache.TFTC # 6324

Nice find by bear TFTC!

Bear & Bee After a wonderful ice cream on a Sunday afternoon , thought we would collect a few caches Nice spot TFTC!

Tftc - found using hints in the logs

Tftc Found it after reading the logs.

Find #: 3,752Companions: NoneMuggles: A cleanerWeather: Pleasant spring morningCache condition: GoodAfter taking part in the Rouse Hill parkrun I decided to find some local caches. I was able to find road parking, and was soon at GZ where I made a quick find - TNLNSL TFTC

TFTC!

After me & my partner, Pomegranate found a cache nearby, we slowly went passed by the shops, slowly approaching the GZ, to our surprised we saw a bunch of students playing basketball, oh shit, how are we going to find the cache without getting any attention, luckily we became true spies, pretending looking around & snapping a few pictures while our hands started feeling for it. No feel anything & checking the hint, it has moved away from the bins, didnt give up, using our mobile camera, we double checked underneath, we saw something black, wooo woooo, we found it & a nice cute cache.We logged in our names before carefully placing it back to its hideout. Greetings from Malaysia !! TFTC to Co placing a nice cache here for us to enjoy geocaching.

Found this cache with Ramakristan but aint easy coz of students playing basketball, we have to be extra vigilant & pretended we are looking at them while our hands busy feel for caches, at first no luck, then we used our mobile camera selfie to locate, finally we saw it hiding in the right corner.Logged our names further away & returned back to its hideout. TFTC to Co for us to enjoy geocaching.

This cache has been moved very slightly due to the bins making the retrieval a little inconvenient. Another hint has been added. All is good to go. Cache on!

Fifth of a few geofinds to keep my streak going. Two months left to get a full leap year challenge wrapped up. Showing a muggle how this works. TFTC goingplaces2

Very nicely hidden. Despite the generous hint, we still took awhile before we saw the cache just peeking out from the shadows. TFTC goingplaces2

What a sneaky hide. No wonder there are so many DNFs. TFTC

Tyftc- sorry didnt log this at the time I found it with techsavvy9 on 21/10/23 this was one that I had to make multiple attempts to find!

OCW Oldmorty in the Hills area in 34 degree heat meant quick finds would be the aim. After some lunch at the centre we wandered around here but after checking many options came away empty handed. TFTC!

Out with morty8888 for another days caching; today around The Hills District. Tackled this one after lunch in the complex. Searched for a while but no cache for us today.

Nice cache,greets from Belgium

Out shopping for Christmas today. This one took about 5 mins but after a few yuck read through some previous logs the cache revealed itself. Nice hide! Tftc!!

TFTC. I went straight to where the cache was but missed it for some unknown reason. A 3 minute find ended up being a half hour find. After exhausting all my possibilities I scratched my head and thought it has to be in the first place I looked. Guess what? It was. I didnt feel quiet as well as I should have. I was just kicking myself afterwards.

Cache check done and the container is still in the correct place. All good to go. More help added to the hint. Cache on!

Up down all around and nothing

Grrrrr! Muggles in the form of truanting students prevented a more thorough search.

Couldn’t find tn

Came here at night, and there were no muggles around. Had a good search, checking both what was indicated by the hint, and what wasn't. No luck.

A cache check was done and it was found that the container was at a slightly higher elevation than it should be, but otherwise was in the correct position. Cache on!

Really not sure where else it could be if not in the garden

Noope

Haha found it! Took me a while and was just about to give up. TFTC! - Moocoo

It's good to finally get a smiley here (after more visits than I care to admit), having received confirmation from the CO at a recent event that I had been looking in the right place on previous visits. This time, I didn't let myself be distracted by the nearby basketball playing muggles, I just went for it.

Thanks for the hide goingplaces2.

A quick find while on an adventure with my Poppy. I enjoyed a cookie and pink milk to celebrate.

Second times the charm! Finally found it

I'm a beginner and also I was on a time crunch so I guess I didn't find it. Definitely coming back to this one another day though.

A quick fund with a group after the event. TFTC

A quick find with a group of geocachers after attending the Hills Geocaching Event. TFTC goingplaces2

OCW Everest High, Brewmaker, and GoogleHiHiHi after the nearby Hills Event. Thankfully no one shooting hoops when we arrived so the coast was clear for a quick find - it is very nicely tucked away out of sight of muggles. TFTC!

Tried to find before attending an event today but there was a muggle shooting hoops. Returned after meeting CO at the event and made a quick find. TFTC

Searched in a likely spot and came up empty-handed. Had to PAF to be able to retrieve the hide. TFTC.

Did a maintenance run today and found everything to be in good order with this cache. It is just waiting to be found.

Club broken 13.08.22 took us awhile

No luck! Not sure if it’s still there

Fun

Hard

Cache still there.

Still couldn’t find it. Is it still there?

Didn’t look super thoroughly but couldn’t find it

Wasnt there

Went here and had no luck finding it

Found It!
No basketball here on a Sunday evening so after a quick search I soon found the cache!
TFTC

I couldn’t find it even with three of my friends

Wow never knew this area was here cache was in the first place I looked. I used my torch for better vision

Checked this one today. Another log in place and all is good to be found again. Cache on!

Found it very wet needs maintainer log hard to write on

Good find

GG EASY FIND NO CAP, good for beginners

Nice

TFTC! Quick find, good hide

GG

Quick find. TFTC!!

Smart hide:)

We looked for it for about 30-40 minutes and can’t find it anywhere

I’m really depressed now cause we looked for about 30 mins and did not find it. We looked everywhere and the gos said in the garden but I’m just confused. Anyways we might come back another day

??

Found it! Picture in log helped us out

Maintenance check done today, all is good and ready to go.

Found

Little tricky but found within 10 minutes

Easy

Nice an easy reach

I came here with my Poppy, (who had found it some time ago), to check on the cache. I found it quite quickly. I had to wait for my Nanny to come back after doing some shopping to get a pen. My name is in the log.
All good here. Thanks goingplaces2.

Didn’t know where it was Didn’t know if I was in the trees or Not Can someone help me

Been back a few times but there were always people playing basketball. Came back today because it’s been raining so there’s no one about. Looked for half an hour and still can’t find it. I found 15 cents though. The GPS continuously changes direction. It’ll say I’m 4m away then it’ll change to 18m in the opposite direction when I’m in the same spot. Then it changes again to 11m away in a different direction. GPS isn’t helpful.

Great hide!

It’s my first time geocaching and I can’t find it Will come back another time.

What a random spot for a half court. Took me quite a while to find this one. TFTC

Quick find. Reading previous log I thought i was going to be here a good while. But was able to spot it in literally 30 secs

Tftc

Wow tricky one. Not where we thought it would be. TFTC

Found yesterday but phone went flat so didn't log. TFTC

Finally! I lost count of how many attempts we've had at this. 4 goes at least of DNF and even more times of getting there to find muggles about. Yay finally it is a smiley for us

Epic and amazing scenery, would love to find more like this although quiet difficult, found with my mom and brother. TFTC

TFTC

Out geocaching with my boys for the day ( _Kade_ & _Troy_ ) Perfect activity for school holidays & a nice cool day to do it. Lovely little cache. Thank you!

Been here 4 times and it's always busy with basketball kids... driving past and i peered over... NO ONE IS THERE, QUICK, LET'S GO!
I had a feeling i knew where it would be and after a bit we found it.
TFTC.

Well well well !!!!!! Second time here and was determined to find the sneaky hide. At first nothing, getting frustrated, decided to sit down and read a few activities, a clue gave me the brain wave I finally needed and spited the naughty hide!!!! Looked around there a few times before but not quite thoroughly! Amen!!!!! TFTC happy find

Well, came once in the morning, could not find it, went for a lovely coffee while reading previous logs. Thought I got this, so went back and still no luck, a muggle saw me lying down on a bench looking underneath, he must have thought something wrong with this lady

Did a check on this one. There was no employee in attendance and only one person using the equipment. We believe the cache can still be accessed by using stealth and discretion. The cache is about 7 metres from the tent area and is available 24/7.

Currently inaccessible as Anytime Fitness have taken over the half court during Covid

Caught this one w all my friends while waiting for one of us to arrive for our ice cream hang! Always fun w friends, and this one was an especially good hide

Nada!

My 2nd time looking today, and because the 1st time I tried looking w my friend, it was night, I thought I’d have better luck today. Alas, no. I think I am really bad at this!

Second time around and finally found this sneaky cache TFTC

Find it! Was in the area and thought it could be a fun way to pass time xx

Wow this was good!!

This was the thirteenth of 14 finds for the day. After finding ‘Zoo for You’, Mizmaz and I headed toward Rouse Hill Town Centre to start the multi there and realised we could make a detour whilst finding the information to locate this cache. I had previously found the predecessor to this cache and instinctively went straight there to start looking and quickly had CIH. TFTC.

Not up this way very often but on each of several attempts, have always been foiled by too many muggles and a bouncy arrow to actually claim the smiley. Today a waypoint for a multi I was doing with a previous finder was close enough to try again and though there still a few muggles about, this time my PAF could point out the correct location for me to make a stealthy grab.

A very quick find while killing some time in the area.
Thanks for the hide goingplaces2

Interesting little area. Good cords made for a reasonably quick find, thanks

Took a while to work this one out, but MRS FNG got the find....
Logged and returned. TFTC
