Logs
Perfect spot that matches the theme, quick find at a quiet park, no muggles in sight
Logging this one I found a few months ago, but forgot to log then. Found with Stephw_01, was a little difficult as the sun was going down but found after 15-20 minutes search
We are on another short (three day) caching holiday in North Western Sydney, staying for two nights in a park cabin at the Ingenia Holidays Avina BIG4 Holiday Park at Vineyard. Hoping to collect some previously solved Mystery/Puzzle caches, complete some Adventure Labs, and accumulate enough cache finds for this month’s "Wheel of Challenges" easy & hard souvenir chase. Photos will be uploaded to some (most) logs on our return to home base.
Today (day 1) we travelled out to Vineyard, going via the M2 Motorway from Delhi Road North Ryde to Old Windsor Road Seven Hills, then through Parklea, Quakers Hill, Schofields and Riverstone to reach the accommodation. Collected numerous Traditional caches, some previously solved Mystery/Puzzle caches, and one MultiCache, that we passed along the route. This was the 1st of 20 finds for the day (day 1), and 1st find of the holiday.
This was our first cache stop for the trip, parking the geomobile on the road outside the park, then heading over to GZ for a look. Hedwig was quickly spotted, followed soon after by his closely guarded cache. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found. TFTC Sensible Shoes, Shoes Junior, and Little Shoes.

Added a piece of paper to the log and as I was replacing it I came across the second hide with new log. Signed that as well. TFTC
Found It!
A quick find after the nearby event. I found two caches here so I signed both.

TfTC nice theme got the Hedwig reference also log is pretty full probably time to add a new one
Another cache to match the theme well done. GeoIan made quick work of this one as well. Thanks for the cache tnln replaced as found sl
We walked down from the Brollies, and soon had gz spotted, once Mighty Minions told me what a Hedwig was. Nicely themed this one and the last. Quick find. TFTC.
I had to backtrack slightly to pick up this cache. On my first pass in the area there was a couple in the park, so I thought I'd go for another cache first and then come back to attempt this one. On my return I had the place to myself, and it didn't take long to spot Hedwig. Another quick look and I was able to make a grab -- cache in hand.
Just a little bit of moisture in the cache. I dried it off on my shirt and added my name. I suspect it's probably from condensation. All is good here, especially with the rite-in-the-rain paper log.

#3028 Seventh of eight traditional finds while out completing nearby ALs. Found after a short search. TFTC
We are re logging our finds as we had to reload the apps. So not sure if it is still here but was a really fun one with the kids
Found it! What’s a great find! Took us about 6 minutes.
Looks like we are the first one on the log. Perfect condition. Dry clean and intact.

Went for a cache check bike ride this afternoon. All Hedwig needed was a new log.
My first find!
Came the other day but was unsuccessful! Gave it another go and found it

Parliament was not sitting, but I didn't need any extra wisdom to find this cache quickly. TFTC Sensible Shoes
My 8 year old found it. I saw at the location but missed it due to being a lil taller than needed, lolz! But this was the first place where I would hide it
Another great Harry potter family search no pen but photo proof the marksfam was here
GPS was going haywire, took a while to find. Someone in the comments gave a big give away, so it was really easy. There were spider webs and insect eggs all over it, so I cleaned it, and remember, let Hedwig the owl guide you!

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

This was the third of 6 finds for the day. Whilst at the event, I realised this cache was nearby and saw other cachers looking for it as well. Seeing as Mizmaz and I had some other caches to find, we left the event and I made this quick find. SL. TFTC.

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.

Some days you get lucky and touch the cache in the first place you try. Today was one of those. Before the CCE I went for this before the rush. Quick find. TFTC
Find number 5428
Walked down from the community event to make a nice quick find. The log book is full though.
Thanks Sensible Shoes for placing this cache.

23,705. 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 while attending the event. A quick find at GZ. 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 !!

Nice spot. No people around in the middle of the day, easy to sit, grab and sign the log, and replace.
