Three of many Prestons, New South Wales, Australia
By BudoTom on 01-Jun-18. Waypoint GC7QJJ7

Hint helped but no sun about so had to figure out my compass points. Removed a crude note in the little book so someone else has found the container. TFTC

Took a little while to find as coords are wrong but followed the hint

Coords off, but found easily enough after a few minutes.

No luck today

Happened to stand in the right place and found it straight away! Relied on hint and not coordinates. TFTC!

The coords would have me at the South wall. The hint was the correct way to go and after I avoided the scotch thistle I cornered the cache.
TFTC

Relied on hint not coordinated and found it

Parked the van in the service driveway and flicked on the lights to warn of work in progress.
Walked into the culvert and straight up find, more north/east Cnr in amongst the rocks, thanks for the quick one

Not today even with the hint.

Found with the help of a beginner geocacher! Hint was useful!

Compass direction and hint helped. Camo! Thanks for the swag. Left a swag. Cool place to hide a geocache

In the area so had a small window to find a couple of caches. Once the parking was sorted it was then the muggles. As this container was bigger than the others and the location more obvious it was a faster find. We completed the signing duties and re hid. TFTC

Nice one thanks

A quick find today with no traffic. TFTC.

Who where did the was sneaky

Was damaged when we took it out

Too many muggles driving past.

Was taking us to close to the road

Found it! The hint really helps!

A quick find using the hint.

While out caching I got the news about the impending lockdown so I thought let’s make the most of it and grab as many of this series as possible. Mostly out for the steps and incidental exercise really but stayed because for the most part this was an inventive series. Thanks cache owner for placing these TFTC

Second look on way back to the car as the first time there was traffic on the road so it was quick the second time and knew where it was as I spotted it earlier. TFTC

BudoTom I found your cache Three of many on 1/5/21, 9:45 am. This is my find 3168 and find # 2 today. A quick and easy find. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN

Favourite find on this trail!

Found

TFTC! Interesting little spot.

Lost my bravery when I found a redback spider, maybe another day with some gloves

Tftc, GPS a little off but a little searching saw cache in hand.

Quick find here TFTC.

Chatted with a friendly juggle and told him we were looking for something as part of a game, kids are such great cover! Coop hid the cache behind his back until the juggle moved on. TFTC

Nice little rock bunker

Quick find! Loved the little box!

Came here for a walk/scoot as a family. Looked for a while, but Geodad found it in the end. TFTC!

Actually found on the 24th of July 2019 but I must have forgotten to log it, I went out with my friend python to find these Of many caches and it was a great day for both of us

TFTC! And a great series

Found with kelr0cks, armybrats4 and blayke04. Easy find

Found with Joshwyatt83 and ArmyBrats4 and Blayke04

TFTC,

Counting down to the end of the year and with a bit of extra work, I will reach a massive statistic that I will never get another chance to achieve. Not there yet, after today's 24 I still need another 35 and will try to do that tomorrow. This year has been a massive year with so many achievements and reaching an average 8 caches per day would be a crown on top of everything else.

Looks like a trip to the Southern Highlands early tomorrow. Lets hope the heat doesn't arrive.

Used the hint.

While I was looking elsewhere, Wazza9 had Quick find, stamped log and replaced. Thanks to BudoTom

So dry here today, nice hint. Thanks for the hide

still in good condition

TFTC GOOD FIND

I’m not sure if it’s on purpose or a coincidence, but there were many clever decoys at this site. Lucky for me, I had the CIH after the second attempt.

OCW Sensible Shoes, Little Shoes, Rainbow Bears and YolkieB signed as TRCS. TFTC.

Found with Sensible Shoes, Shoes Junior, Rainbow Bears and YolkieB. Quick find. Signed as TRCS. TFTC

TFTC. Signed as TRCS (Team Rainbow Chicken Shoes).

Found with Team Rainbow Chicken Shoes (signed as TRCS) - Sensible Shoes, Little Shoes, Shoes Junior, YolkieB and Rainbow Bears. A great day!

Quick find, was quite surprised as could’ve been anywhere and taken a while. Left a TB. Signed as TRCS (Team Rainbow Chicken Shoes). TFTC

Lucky quick find otherwise could be looking for a while!

Streak Day #2225 - Quick find once at GZ with Dave8153. TFTC

14 August 2019
This is find number: 3610
Streak Day: 1336

Found today with Snoopy1976, while in the area. A quick and easy find once getting to GZ. Thanks

Thanks to BudoTom for placing and maintaining this cache.

TFTC

Given good support by a local Willy-wagtail as we find our second last gem and probably not in the way intended - we parked at the shops across the road and made the mad dash!

This will be a copy and paste log for all Of Many caches I found today!!

Started out just to find a few caches for the day with my friend Corny! Had a good walk from about lunchtime onwards finding a handful of the caches in this series before calling it a day!

Made a start on this power trail today to help me reach my caching goal of 365 finds for the year.
Somehow I missed the hint for this one and it took me a while to start looking in the obvious spot. Once in the right area, it didn't take long.

SL TNLN TFTC

Bugger but will be back ok

The walk along the part of the path to this cache was a bit away from the road which was nice, but this spot is quite exposed. I assumed the traffic was speeding along all intent on the road, as they should be, so didn't notice me.
The clue helped narrow down where to search and I soon had CIH, SL and replaced where found.
Nature is working hard in this spot to make weed seed dispersal happen. I couldn't avoid the seeds which stuck to my clothes and were carried off just as nature intended, but not to my liking. I picked them off as I walked to the next cache.

TFTC # 3306

Second one ever!!

Found with Hillbilly

With the bike we went this route to search for the caches. Most of the hiding places we found good. But there were some caches that were a bit more difficult and we had to search a bit longer.

We thank the owner for hiding , **the Moorhelmi's from Germany.**

So far so good. Compass was playing up so looked up to the sky to figure out the correct direction. TFTC!

The hint made for a quick find today... once we figured out which direction east was. TFTC!

Hint made the find fairly easy, but we seemed had trouble figuring out direction

Tftc

A nice quick find this afternoon on a short run after our shopping expedition. Hint was better than GPSr here. TFTC!

House/dogsitting closer to here than home, figured I’d tick off as many as possible at a leisurely pace without the extra travel time. Good co-ords (had to trust rather than question them at times), helpful hints and a variety of hides, made for an interesting trail. Of the 21 attempted (mostly due to heat and parking), claimed 18 smileys. Will return for the remaining 14 on a cooler day or when the definite MIAs (ie ones with several dnfs) are checked by the CO.

Found with cullum68 on our way to sydney to see Phil Collins concert thank you for the cache

Found with nissan 65 on a day caching before we head to homebush to see Phil Collins tonight.Thanku for the cache

Day 301 done and dusted after a few frustrating places to visit.

Got a bit of exercise on the way though I guess/

Thanks again BudoTom

Deep_99 and I are back again as we have run out of park n grabs in our area. We love this series as it is a easy drive down the M7 to get to and it helps both of us keep our streaks going. Have a few back logs to do, so my apologies for the copy and paste generic logs. SL #3855 on streak day #2354

quick find with Ris768, walked straight too it. thanks BudoTom for placing these caches

From November 5th to November 30th I studied English at ILSC in Sydney. After these month I rent a car for traveling and driving to Melbourne because my return flight is from Melbourne. The plan for the weekend was to visit the Jenolan Caves. The Lucas Cave on Saturday afternoon and the Diamont&Imperial Cave on Sunday morning. After the Diamont&Imperial Cave I was going back to Sydney. Back in Sydney I found here some boxes. It was too hot to walk around and the Caches for me to difficult from the serie.
Thanks for the cache from Bonn, Germany

Having recently depleted my store of favourite points, I targeted this powertrail to earn some more. I was not prepared for the quality and variety of hides that I would encounter today. I managed to visit all of this series on foot over a period of about 4.5 hours and 20K+ steps.

Quick find here so onto the next one...

TFTC BudoTom

I definitely love the bigger sized containers. TFTC

Rapidlywild had to head to Sydney to collect a new canopy for her Triton and wanted some company, so as FFLL #1 is still off work, she decided to tag along for the ride. After dropping off the car, a walk was in order to collect a few around the area. A quick find here, TFTC

A journey to Prestons, NSW was planned last minute in order to collect the new canopy for the Ute, and as it was going to take them a couple hours to fit it, I decided to check the maps for some caches. Fortunately for me, there is a whole series of caches in this area that could keep me entertained for the time. I decided to reach out to FFLL#1 to see if she was interested in a drive north and a few caches and she agreed to come along to keep me company

After dropping the car off and checking it in, we set off on foot. No issues locating the cache for us, however the listed TB is not present in the container

Thanks for the cache placement BudoTom, off to the next one we go.

What happens when this place fills with water?

#5381 (3 of 6 today)

After Traditionals today for my challenge streak, and I've been picking up only one or two finds a day too often lately.
So decided to hit the of Many powertrail again to satisfy both desires.
Decided to start at #1 and parked just around the corner from it in Durras Street, and took a path not marked on OSM between Brooman Street and Camden Valley Way. Easy! And my final find had me on Braidwood Drive (had a friend a decade or more back who lived on Braidwood) for the easy walk back.

Went for five in the series and one other, including two previous DNFs. And I found the lot. HUZZAH!
I'll need to come back to finish the series - probably on a day I need some finds for my calendar.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
I think I checked everywhere else at GZ first here before making the find. Grrrr.
Grabbed the trackable and signed the log. Replaced and away.

Spent far too long here - so many hidey holes.

TFTC and the cycle ride around Prestons on a glorious afternoon.

This one definitely has us stumped for a bit, but rassilon256 came through with cache in hand soon enough. TFTC

This one slowed us down a bit. Eventually I made the find, but not without reading the hint. Particularly well hidden, though I wonder what will happen when the rains eventually come again.

It was nice to see a trackable still in the cache it's meant to be in. I'm going to Lismore for a work trip next week, if I knew I'd get caching time I would move it on.

TFTC

I was in the area and I thought I would start on this series, I have watched this series grow and have wanted to have a crack at it, it’s also bought people to my cache in Dalmeny st(Hudson’s cache). I started to head for the wrong wall then readjusted and found the cache. TFTC and series.

found with gm10 and btm

Found first try tftc found with btm uc and cc23

To simple walked straight to it once we figured out east

TFTC Thank you for going to the effort of hiding this cache. You have shown us a new place and have helped make geocaching an enjoyable activity.

In our final week of school holidays we headed out fora days caching with the Rats.
Dad said we'll take the bikes and do a bit of bike riding... well it turned out to be a great day as we rode around the streets on a beautiful sunny day. The "many" series was alot of fun.

We finished our day with a few finds in the FTF hound series.
Thanks to all the cache owners for the fun day.

With the hidden creatures souvenirs almost wrapped up I was wondering how to get a few more finds to accumilate a few more souvenirs. Realising a few of my caching buddies had done this series I dragged the mini rats along with me as they were still on school holidays. We headed up here with the bikes for a fun riding in the sun.

The hides were alot of fun and challenging at times, the area was excellent for getting around by bikes and being midweek the muggle factor was minimal.

We finished our day coming home via Heathcote Rd where we grabbed the latest few caches in the FTF hound series.

Thanks to all the hiders for a great day out.

I was having trouble on this one. Then I realised I was still on the previous page. The wrong hint. When I read the correct info I found the cache quickly.

took longer that it should have TFTC

This took us much longer than it needed to as our approximation of which direction was which using the sun was not accurate and so was searching the wrong side for a while. Eventually worked methodically around and there it was. TFTC

With new twins in the house, I don't get a chance to get out geocaching very often these days - and I really really wanted that hidden creatures Dragon. I mean - Daenerys Targaryan can have the Iron Throne of Westeros. My ambitions are more modest. All I want is to be Mother of at least one Dragon!!! So I found Prestons on the map - and the new power trail there, and though golly gosh, this is perfect. !!!

And I made it there, all the way from north of the big bridge - without getting lost even once. And the sun was shining!!

Mr BudoTom. You certainly have put this area of Sydney on the geo-map!!! I needed 13 finds and hoped to achieve these before my leave pass ran out. I found 16 - mostly on foot.. 3 hrs walk. Did me good. And some of them were quite challenging, witty, even wacky. Missed one or two, but kept moving.

The variety of styles was impressive. For a relative newcomer, you're amazing!

Thankyou for a great day out. My Dragon salutes you.

As I was reading a few previous logs on these caches I noticed that I was not the first to use this series to complete my magic creatures challenge. Luckily I took the bike as that turned out to be the best option here, parking would have been complicated in most spots! Worked my way around pretty quickly, but didn't finish completely as I ran out of time for today. Have to do the others a different time. Enjoyed the mix of containers and hides, Nothing I hadn't seen before, but some were really good executed!

A five hour walk in company with Celtical netted the first 24 of the 'of many' series of caches plus one more. Staring at 'one of many' and completing the loop to '24 of many' then returning to the only dnf of the day '7 of many' where a more thourough search revealed what we missed on the first time around.
Having two pair of eyes was worth while as we worked our way around a variety of hides and cache sizes some cleverly hidden.
Well done to the CO for the series to date I have completed, tftc

Well we were on a mission, me to get my world turtle, & lucky1955 to snare his dragon! So that meant a long walk around the area - 5 hours to be precise. Special thanks to the CO for some really well thought out cache hides, & a few really sneaky ones. Great little series, I'm looking forward to doing the others. TFTC

Located at 7:53am. #768. I’ve found several Rainbow Spirit caches that are similar, this took me a couple of moments to check my bearings and soon I had CIH. Cheers Budo Tom. Спасибо для кеша! תודה! L’chaim! TFTC!

OCW with EverestHigh, The Bebes and JordsAU. TFTC BudoTom!
