Out caching in the Ponds area today, many of which ended up being impossibly difficult but genius BB caches. It was so hot! My car read 40 degrees even though I know that can't be true. Followed the geotrail in, and once I eliminated the options of it being on the floor, I changed my perspective and had CIH. Thanks for the chunky bison!

Nice and straightforward for the kids. Thanks!

Found it.

Cache in good condition TFTC

Found it

After a little bit of a search found it!

Good Fun

Sorry accidentally put found on my log

Me and my mate couldnt find it, it was potentially stolen or swept away.

I'm the mate Please do maintenance

Too many spiders to explore to far

DNFit is swarming with spiders it was probably hanging on a tree but still no chance to find it

I have no idea

Walked past it at first so backtracked and found it quickly.

Took a bit of time but a past log was helpful

Waterlogged, needs replacing. Tftc!

Found on a daytime romp through the suburb with Cheese_Pizza13 and FreshMustard. Thanks for the cache!

After a bit of a previous log scroll, I found the coordinates had me 3m off, log is damp TFTC

Entered Arog y!! Took a little while to find because of the way it was placed but eventually geo hubby locked eyes with it! TFTC

Took a few minutes, as there's lots of choice of potential hiding spots!Then move a few m and bingo spotted itThanks for maintaining the cache

Cool

Walked right past it first time thru then backtracked. Dual logs running at the same time. All dry inside. TFTC

Found it nice spot for a walk in the trees

Hard find!

I did not find it because it was to far in to the bush

Took a bit but got it

Today we headed out to The Ponds and Kellyville Ridge, catching a 280 bus to Chatswood and a Metro train to Tallawong Metro Station, then walking down to Ironbark Lake. After doing a lap of the lake’s circuit pathway, and collecting a couple of Adventure Lab stages along the way, we next walked to Peel Reserve and then followed the pathways down along Second Ponds Creek. After that it was a walk through the backstreets to Windsor Road and up to Rouse Hill Metro Station for our return journey homeward. Collected a MultiCache, a few Adventure Lab stages, and numerous Traditional caches during the trek. This was the 8th of 12 finds for the day.

This one was next, and it was a nice quick find on arrival at GZ. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found. Not sure of any Harry Potter theme here, we were expecting perhaps a spider camo or something like that, but maybe things have changed since it was placed way back in 2018.

Find #5911

Quick and happy find after the Parkrun. Thanks!

A quick find after a lunch break at the nearby shopping centre, thanks.

??

Took awhile to knock the spider webs out of the way. Sneaky. TFTC!

So cute

Found it! Logs a little wet and GZ is a few metres out

Great spot!

In the area today to run the lovely parkrun course today ahead of the hills geo event. Really enjoyed my run and was great to catch up with the CO on course. Afterwards, I teamed up with Tronador to grab a couple of quick caches which were in the vicinity and this was stop #2. A nice stroll along the course we had just ran, before darting into the bush for a quick find. This is such a nice little suburb which I really enjoy exploring - still a few for me to grab out this way so I shall be back again at some point TFTC!

#3023 Second of eight traditional finds while out completing nearby ALs. Found after a prolonged search and as I was about to walk away there it was just looking at me. TFTC

Great spot. Thanks for the cache!

I was 5m away until spiders flooded every pathway

I was out on a day of bike riding and picking up some caches for the Signal's Labyrinth promotion.
I took my bike into the bush with me to search for this cache as I didn't want anybody to knock it off. I had to Google who/what Aragog was as I've not read the books and only seen the first movie. I then looked for that but found something more obvious. Log signed.
Thanks for the geo-fun.

Found it without any anxious preschoolers in tow. Thanks for the find!!!

Quick easy find. Beautiful day to be out for a walk. SL TFTC

Blends in well, was in front of my eyes the whole time. TFTC

Found It!
Lots of spiders in here. Once I pushed them out of the way with a stick, I got to GZ and soon spotted the cache!
TFTC

Went for a cache check bike ride this afternoon. Aragog was in good condition.

Hard with mouthful of cobwebs.
Miss 6-yo thought too many spiders.
Parents enjoyed the small adventure.

Thank you! Take gumboots and mozzie spray, since the flooding you’ll have to slosh through quite a bit of mud. Loads of Leafcurl spiders everywhere:)

Our first one!

3rd time looking. Came for daughters birthday but hid a present for her while while she was looking for the cache. Instead of finding the present, she found the cache (then we pointed her to the present)

Reperio 13:00

Drove to Sydney today to visit Ikea and a few other places, and needing a few more caches for this month’s souvenir, we stopped here on our travels.

After a short walk along the trail, we veered off into the scrub towards GZ, and fortunately for us, quickly spotted the cache.

Find #: 2,696
Companions: None
Muggles: A few on the paths
Weather: Lovely summer morning
Cache condition: Good

After completing the nearby parkrun I ambled over to this cache; I have avoided it in the past as the PR is usually too busy, but today was quiet given not everyone wants to get up early on NYD. I was happy to quickly spot the container - TNLNSL, TFTC

A straightforward find after having spent much of the day hopping on and off the North West Metro in search of smilies ... though I initially thought it was going to take much longer to spot the cache than it did.

Thanks for the hide Sensible Shoes.

Good hide!

Tftf

Sneaky snaky! Don’t look back in anger!

Good hide. Walk past and look back.... 25/9/21

We braved the forbidden forest and avoided gigantic spiders to find a cool cache thank you

Out on a family walk/scoot. An easy find. TFTC!

Eye height and slightly earlier than GPS said.

Found it during a nice afternoon around the ponds.
At GZ quick look then we found it. We signed the logbook and putted back everything.

OCW Oldmorty in the Ponds area and after trying to avoid many tiny spider webs and looking at a pic in the gallery, Oldmorty soon spied this. TFTC!

Gps a bit out but spied it soon enough- very eye catching

Came back after post parkrun coffee to complete a few caches along the course. I love Harry Potter and found this immediately.

Sydney Feb 21 Trip. Day 2. I joined Fitzy_1965, MinnieK and Tankengine for a weekend trip to Sydney to attend a few Community events and do as much caching as possible. We started with a puzzle series at Quaker's hill in light drizzle. There was then mixed caching and the first event at the Ponds. We headed into town after that and caught up with a bigger contingent of Canberra caches for dinner and a lap of Darling Harbour for caches there. It all got a bit late but it was a great day.

Thanks for the cache Sensible Shoes

Headed up to Sydney with fitzy_1965, albida33 and Tankengine for the weekend attending some Community Celebration events and caching inbetween.

Solved any puzzles before heading away. Signed as MK, F65, TE & A33 to save space and all finds were quick and easy unless otherwise stated.

23,696. Found with minniek, Tankengine and albida33 during a Sydney weekend run attending some Community Celebration Events and generally having a caching good time.

We headed up the Hume this morning with the Quakers Star series in our sights before attending the first of three Community Celebration Events over the weekend. My thanks to my caching companions which made it a memorable trip. After finishing the Star we continued along cherry picking caches until the event was due. This was the next stop of the day. Came looking prepared for one type of container - but phew it wasn't - lol ! Signed the log (mostly F65 MK TE and A33 to save space), replaced the cache as found, then headed on to the next one on the list.

Thanks Sensible Shoes !!
