Catch and Release Minto, New South Wales, Australia
By Raby Roamers on 09-Sep-17. Waypoint GC7C3V7

Cleverly constructed cache! Spotted as I was walking to GZ. Recoiled when I unleashed the cache guardian, wasn't expecting that and thought it was real. TFTC

Great and creative hide! Thanks

No luck this time sadly

After making an unsuccessful attempt on a nearby archived RR cache, Meritonnn and I walked to this as I hadn't gotten it yet.It took me a few minutes to see the obvious suspicious object, but once I did the retrieval of the cache was quite quick. Meritonnn gave me an idea of the original intent of this cache and it seems that at some point a finder decided to make it a bit easier, but less fun, for the next person. Still, it was nice to know what could have been and also to get a legitimate find while we were here.Back to the car now, our next target is somewhat further afield.

Tftc - nice easy find in the obvious spot

Spotted easily upon approach to GZ, thought I knew what I was dealing with but got quite a surprise by the wiggly worm guardian! Came under attack by ants and blackberry thorns but quickly had log signed and cache returned and headed back to safety. Very cool hide, FP from me. TFTC

We made our way to Gz through the long grass and prickly vines. Looked all along the ground in front of the fence but could not find anything . Left with only countless cuts and blood spots

Love it, good cache, TFTC!

Awesome idea. Was a little broken but we repaired it TFTC signed Hmz

TFTCBit of fun getting to with all the prickly stuff but worth it in the end

Nice one after getting cut up by the blackberry bush, farmers friends liked me as well, cheers

Quick find at gz as we pass through. Tftc

Omg very cute idea for the cache but the place is gross so much rubbish Tftc though!Signed as teampc

Geodoggo got a little too interested in the gross looking creek. Luckily stopped him before getting wet lol. Signed teampc

Please note that a snake was recently spotted in this area. Please search for this cache with extreme caution over the warmer months.

Streak Day #3709 - Out this way again with Dave8153 today for our cache of the day, enjoyed the catch of the day. TFTC

Most creative one we have done! Such a fun find!

Out and about travelling through some of Sydney’s southwest suburbs with The Rats for a variety of finds today.

TFTC!

Spent the day caching with my good mate steeba. We concentrated our efforts around southwestern Sydney.
This cache was one of many we found today. Funny cache
TFTC

Out with Gundrills on our streak souvenir trek. WHAT A CACHE, we caught and released as requested. TFTC RabyRoamers

Out with geowife. Great cache idea. it was nice and quiet away from prying eyes. Had to fav. this for creativity. TFTC.

Cache replaced

Cache restored. Please please return as you found it. Pay particular attention to the order in which things are found in the cache and the way they are facing.

Am waiting for parts to be sent from china then will be able to reconstruct hopefully in the school holidays (2-3 weeks time)

Parts of this cache have gone missing. Will take me some time to obtain replacements

As per the last few finders, we found the camo here but nothing too help us retrieve the cache from... wherever it is. Definitely needs some fixing to say it back up properly. Will message the CO with photos.

Found the camo quickly but took a long time to figure out what to do. Wow, looks so real from far away! Anyways tried but with no luck. Needs some maintenance.

Found the top of the hide meters away . Located the spot the cache would be but unfortunately because the top was not in place the hide was full of water . I did manage to do some fishing around without any luck the log must be missing . But a brilliant idea . TFTC

What a great creative cache. It got my heart pumping for a second or two especially when I did this cache just after the sun had set for the day.

TFTC.

Yuck

Found The camo but no cache next to it

Camo was found but there was no cache. Please fix this

Jfheios

Clever cache indeed! But be wary of any sharp obstacles, including an exposed needle I found on the ground near the cache.

Look cool cache… found it.. tks

Wow. Finally found it. Almost covered by overgrowth but I spotted it today. I think it was separated so I put it back together. Very clever.

Too messy and black bush has spiky thorns.

Disappointed as it sounded cool. Too many spiky plants, spiders hiding in things that probably wasn’t the cache … dead animals.

Find number 5831

A nice quick find and fantastic cache build which deserves a favourite point. The location isn’t the best as the blackberry have begun to take over the area.

Thanks Raby Roamers for placing this cache.

A nice quick find this morning. TFTC.

Great first find! Very challenging ️

Best to come in day time! So much fun

Really nice. It's still there and out of the way of the construction area

Gravel piles and construction for railway everywhere

When we arrived we searched around for a little, using our geosenses. That didn't get us anywhere. We navigated to the location and read some logs which got us thinking. geokid one spotted something suspicious just as geomum did. We battled through some sticky beaks and in a few seconds we got the cache. This was our first premium cache. Tftc

Getting very hot in western Sydney but I still had some to kill. Looked at this cluster but didn’t read the details - in the end was a hot walk for two caches (most will be notes but one DNF). Parked. In the shade near this one and a quick walk. Found the structure and soon had the cache extracted- very nice indeed.
TFTC Raby Roamers - another FP your way

Clever hide. TFTC

Very clever little cache, didn't take too long to find it, TFTC.

Found with Littl3Vix. Took us a little bit to find this one but once at the right gz, we quickly had CIH. Tftc!

Hahaha caught the bison today with MizCupcake, what a good cache. TFTC!

That was fun!!! Great idea for a cache and quick find! thanks for the effort!!

Quick checkup-made a few repairs but otherwise in good shape!

Chloes day out with chrissy61

Definitely a great find!!!

Nice one, many thanks

Gave us a bit of a fright TFTC

Wow!! I would love to know how you came up with this one! So much detail! Having read the logs I was pretty sure I knew what to look for, but even then the camo threw me! Then once found it took a moment before I realised exactly where I needed to use it. Then - a red (or yellow) herring before the cache was finally in hand! What a wonderful adventure! Tftc and have a well deserved FP!

Was a funny one. Made my partner jump haha TFTC

Quick find with Deep_99 while getting in some essential exercise. SL #4462 on streak day #2847 TFTC fav awarded

Quick find with Ris768 while out getting some essential exercise with the Geodogs. Nicely constructed cache.

Best ever

We soon located the cache after arriving at GZ. Retrieving the cache was a small challenge when we realised part of the mechanism was broken. Luckily a makeshift tool helped and we soon have CIH and log signed. Very clever hide. TFTC.

We quickly spotted the likely hidey hole when we got to GZ. Retrieving the cache took a little longer and required an extra make shift tool. We replaced it to make it a little easier for the next finder. Clever container and nice hide. TFTC!

Took a minute to figure out what I needed to be looking at. Nicely made, but the magnetic aspect of it was not working (detached) so I had to deconstruct then reconstruct. Not sure if the huntsman inside the larger structure is real or not. I didn't wait around to ask...

19,324. Found with minniek during a meander around the Campbelltown region.

Headed up the Hume for a kid-free weekend caching in Sydney. And as minniek says we even lashed out for a motel instead of camping - Luxury ! This was the next find of the day. Awesome cache - so well set up. Quickly had CIH. Signed the log, replaced the cache, and then headed off to the next one.

Thanks Raby Roamers !! Favourite Point !

A nice weekend away with fitzy_1965 where we glamped (motel) rather than camped!

We cached around Campbelltown, Leumeah, Minto & Ingleburn before heading into our base at Ashfield then into Darling Harbour for dinner.

Quick find here today.

Wow, brilliant. TFTC

TFTC.

Brilliantly constructed! A quick park and grab with no-one around. TFTC

Very clever cache. Some caches are well hidden and get mugged while other just sit there and are ignored.

Very clever hide

Out and about with family TFTC

Found with bedlem2

SO clever, loved it!

Enjoyable find! Thank you. 1 fave point

Raby Roamers I found your cache Catch and Release on 27/7/19, 2:45 pm. This is my find 2433 and find # 9 today. Very clever, a quick and easy find. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN

Found with cullum68 and nissan65 whilst attending the OZGeomuster. TFTC

Last day around the mega and tidying up some loose ends today with Karicka before flying home tomorrow.
Nice hide. Did a little repair job on the rod.
Thanks for placing.

Was a great hiding spot!

This is brilliant. So well thought out and gave us a good laugh. Fav point for sure.

What a brilliant idea. Absolutely loved it. Tftc and a fave point from me.

Found it

We soon located the hiding place for this cache once at Ground Zero, and then we began fishing - and what fun we had discovering what we had caught! Not long after we were signing the log book, then we replaced everything as found. Thanks so much for the good fun cache and a favourite point awarded! Greetings from Zimbabwe

Perfect find for April Fools Day . Clever & creative, fp added. TFTC RR xo

I was only going to get this one cache today in this series, but then once I realised how much fun I was having I crammed a couple more in! This is an underrated series and needs a lot more finds and favourites!

I had a laugh when I noticed that someone had graffitied your camo, but now it looks even more genuine and like it should be there! Luckily they didn't notice the cache!

A very unique theme and idea, can't say I have seen something identical before! Very well done, had lots of fun and worthy of a favourite point!

Thanks

That was an intuitive one #thechingus @varne

People cache for different reasons… stats, skill, challenge, location, clever camo and ingenuity. This one ticked off two of the six which just happen to be my favourite type! Favourite point awarded.

Clever!

The last caching day with Oldmorty for the year and we headed to find a bunch of caches by the Baby Roamers. I hadn't heard of their offerings but we had been advised it was worth the trip and we weren't disappointed. We saw GZ from afar and soon had Oldmorty working the tool, extracting. Great fun.TFTC!

Out on a very warm day for a days caching around Ingleburn with morty8888 to tackle a bunch of the CO's caches which have been on one of my many lists for a considerable time. The plan was to walk their short power trail and then visit a couple of their other caches. All containers had the CO's personal touch and in keeping with their request we have not posted any photos; so I recommend that fellow cachers get out there and see these caches for yourselves. Loved this one. Before we even parked morty8888 spotted something that needed further investigation. Critters, I've never seen so many in a cache. Great fun and I've still got some fav points in the bank so please have one. TFTC Raby Roamers.

Located at 2:03pm. #864. Had a meeting nearby at Gregory Hills and decided on some post-meeting caching in the area. Sized this up as I approached GZ and was pleasantly surprised with what I discovered. Excellent implementation of this cache. Certainly deserving of a favourite point for the little game played in obtaining the cache. Большое спасибо! תודה! L’chaim! TFTC!

Armed with favorite points and being a Geocaching ‘Connoisseur’ I drove up to Raby to hit this trail of high favorited caches, so happy I did. All caches were in pristine condition, and all were loads of fun.

#1 for the day, spotted it quickly, and what a great surprise to actually ‘work’ for the smiley.
Have another favorite point
Cheers

Great cache watch out for the spiders

Quick check up- still there- please don't pull the camo casing out of the ground- hold on tight and pull off the lid- please also don't push the lid on too hard for the next cacher. Cache on!
