Did not find

STM

Couldnt find anywhere around centered location

Out with CC00H.

No luck today.

Wazza9 and I looked for a while, they is too much rubbish there to look properly.

Found the log but the previous finders pushed way too deep and it was impossible to retrieve to properly write my name. I will come back another day to finalise. Need a shower now !

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

This one took ages and almost gave up but Mr Shoes made the find. 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!

We were on the verge of DNFing when Mr Shoes resorted to geocaching rule #1 - stick your fingers where you shouldnt!

Wow, almost gave up on this one, the hardest so far, but Mr Shoes made the grab, fortunately he still has his fingers! Signed TRCS (Team Rainbow Chicken Shoes). TFTC

Didn't attempt -- too many muggles at this time of day to be searching around here unfortunately!

Being out this way we had a scan of the area to fit in a few caches so skipped the lower D ones in favour of a couple of higher D ones.
We managed to park close and walk on over.
A check of recent logs suggested a string of DNFS and given our limited time did wonder about giving up before starting but seeing as we where there decide to have a quick look. A quick scan of the area and likely spot was identified and investigated to make a quick find. Don’t you just love it when that happens.
We completed the signing duties and re hid. TFTC.

Fairly quiet on a winter Sunday afternoon but no luck today.

Too good for me

Maybe next time

Not Attempted [?] -- 12:20 pm -- Thanks for bringing us to this location and Thanks for the hunt *BudoTom*.

**The Cache**
Feeling too prissy today, I'm not going under there. This rural cacher isn't used to city living - it stinks here and looks city grubby.

**The Day**
Headed up to Prestons to grab some really large containers for some geocaching ideas I have. Had planned to do what I could of the numbered *of many* cache series, but discovered there was no where to park. That it appears to be walk or ride only. So I did what I could before getting bored and deciding to head off to Ingleburn to grab a couple and then head home. Nice weather and a pleasant enough day.

1220 is not going under there ill wait feeloinh too prissy today

didn’t find this one! had a massive idea of where it was but it was night time and dark out so there was no point trying to find it (and my phone was running out of charge, which was my light source)

Tiding things up and finally getting around to logging my DNFs
No find for us here today

Too good for us today - I need more experience!!

Went ice skating this afternoon with my daughter and had a lot of time left after this so finishing off the series here that I started months ago. A few very nice finds again with much better weather conditions then last time. Good camo
TFTC Wilbert67

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.**

Good camo. TFTC!

Tricky hide! Fortunately, lady luck smiled on us and I felt something unusual pretty quickly which turned out to be the cache! Thanks for another clever hide!

I was very relieved when Anominous Sign find the cache quickly, cause I was looking at the various rubbishes laying around nearby. Did not really want to touch a used sanitary product. TFTC.

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

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

Tricky but I was in the mood for persistence today, even to the point where I stuck my hands in places I couldn’t see! I was here years ago for robins rock n roll nearby, I still remember it fondly.

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.

It seems mid morning was a good time to visit this cache as there was no-one about. Still spent plenty of time on all fours before I spotted something promising. Definitely earns all of those D stars...

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

Evil hide this one. All good at the cache Thanks Budo Tom for the placement Fav point awarded.
Cheers

Streak Day #1886 - Out this way with dave8153 to complete more of this series. Needed a PAF for this one. TFTC

Cache find No. 2689
Streak Day: 997

Found today with Snoopy1976 after some assistance from a PAF. TFTC

Wow that was very tricky. Spent ages and ages looking all over. Used a PAF and glad I did because it narrowed it down and I was able to make the find. Great series. TFTC

I was looking for a particular type of cache and when my search came up empty I spotted something in my searching and realised that it was a different type of cache that I wasn't expecting here. TFTC

Another cache where llama_boy's keen eye for detail was needed and even with it this was tricky to spot. Not an unusual hide but very well placed.

Definitely a team effort on this one. I don’t think I would normally have been persistent enough to get this one, so lucky I had more eyes to help today. Thanks BudoTom.

Out with Team MADZ and the geopooch.

Out scooting with Team MADZ

We made a few circles of the area and were about to chuck it in when I took another look. A little dusty, but it was found.

Looked but no luck.

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.

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.

Found. Nice hide. TFTC

Found it. Tftc

A tricky one, but not beyond me.

We retuned today to make further inroads into the Of Many series that we started three weeks ago. We had a DNF here in fading light last visit. This time dayliht and a team approach helped. The smallest thing was visible from one angle. Very hard to spot and cleverly concealed. Fortunate to find the place muggle-free. SL TFTC Cheers... Gaztek

**Total find count: 387**

Today's find count: 14 of 17

Out geocaching with our friends HubbyandMrs, Crzymelly and the Geokids to finish hunting for the Hidden Creatures World Turtle. With just two finds needed, everything else was a bonus.

The following TBs and Geocoins helped with the search to find the hidden cache:
* Miniature Itsonlybarney
* GeocachingNSW 2016 Geocoin
* GeocachingNSW 2017 Geocoin
* Geocache Talk Geocoin
* Planetary Pursuit Micro Geocoin
* Geocoin Club Jan 2015 - Rescue Coin
* Geocoin Club May 2018 - Blodeuwedd
* OzGeomuster 2018 Geocoin
* Col Miner HAVOC Geocoin
* Geocoin Club June 2018 - Illumination
* Caching Under the Moon

Out and about clicking up numbers for the hidden creatures challenge this was a right sneaky bugger...

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. Bit of a manky area to be crawling around. TFTC

Located at 9:13am. #775. Okay that was surprising, from the right level and CIH, like that. Quite nifty. Спасибо для кеша! תודה! L’chaim! TFTC!

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

17 Jul 2018

Found ‘Eleven of many’ (GC7QMJJ) with EverestHigh, MaxAdventurer & The Bebes.

Today, I teamed up with EverestHigh, MaxAdventurer & The Bebes to hunt for more Hidden Creatures (and caches), as we fast approach the final week of the geocaching June / July 2018 promotion.

We hatched a plan to meet up around lunch time and drive over to Prestons to tackle to ever growing “X of Many” series, plus a number of others along the way. It was a fun afternoon out and about in the beautiful winter sunshine and cached well into darkness to pick up as many as we could.

We were pleased with the result, edging ever closer towards the Dragon and, ultimately, the World Turtle digital souvenirs. With only a few Did Not Finds, and a few we had to skip over, we ended up with more than 40 finds for the afternoon.

A good excuse to venture out in the depths of the inviting urban forest, that is Sydney at this time of year.

Thanks For The Cache BudoTom.

Out caching with nwhat for the school holidays. Find number 17 for the day.
Geoson 9 made this find and what very proud
#430

While 154 made the find FlutterbySquishy started up a quick CITO

Today I took on the Prestons bike paths with geobuddies on the hunt for"to many"caches to complete the mythical creatures challenge.
It was a really enjoyable day out riding around looking for the caches, some were alot more challenging then others,we almost dnf'd a couple but mananaged to find all the hides in the end with the spot on coords the entire way to complete both the challenge and the series
Thank you BudoTom for the cache

Picked up a bag of rubbish at gz

Too many muggles to search this afternoon.

Out today with Brewmaker and The Bebes finding some of the caches along the Many Power Trail at Prestons and others along the way. We parked the car at the nearby designated parking area and then headed off. Most of the caches were easy to find and accessible from or near the path. Some were very creative and most only a few took a little while to uncover. This was my second time here with Brew, and we were eager to complete the series.
Read the hint, which didn't really help with the find, because it depends on how you interpret it! And, there are so many possible hiding places. But after a search, The Bebes spotted something different and soon had the cache in hand.
Signed the log and replaced it all as found. Then it was on to the next one. TFTC

OCW The Bebes and GeodudeAU to finish off more in "... of many" series. After choosing a parking spot we headed to GZ. Mid-week, so pretty quiet around here and The Bebes found the sneaky cache once we had the ground right level. TFTC

OCW Brewmaker & GeodudeAU

A very sneaky hide here ! Like others have said, it’s all about the angles !

Real needle in a haystack stuff

Tftc

Nice to avenge a DNF here and start the day on a good note. TFTC

This was certainly a tricky one, but for some reason I walked right up to it and it was in my hand in a matter of seconds.. guess I was just lucky I checked the right area first or I feel this could have taken quite some time. Thanks for the well constructed hide!

Team effort here. Bumped into some other lovely cachers and between the 5 of us came up with the goods. Tftc

Arrived at GZ and another team were here so this was a team effort and wasnt long before CIH TFTC

With a bit of teamwork Fredrik m fellow catchers we found it. Thanx

3rd cache of the day. Found with 3 other leople. Good teamwork. TFTC

Was where I expected but being a nasty bastard, I over upped the potential difficulty. Lots of muggles around today...

OCW morty8888 today; the mission being to avenge several dnf's from the previous week and visit the new caches in the many of many pathway series. This one was a dnf last time but quickly found today after receiving some intel from a fellow cacher. TFTC.

After seeing so "Many Of" notifications it was time to head to Prestons. Many excellent and varied caches. Oldmorty had an idea and before long, after a red herring, the real one was found. TFTC

The geokiddies and I decided to hit the new Prestons ...”of many” Power Trial in search of some hidden creatures. This was find 10 of 11 for the morning.

Did not find it on my first sweep of the area so decided to walk up to twelve while I pondered this one some more. Returning to this one, I think I had sussed out the type of hide I might be looking for it was just a matter of searching all the possible locations. Still having no luck I then noticed a possible decoy. I don’t know if its intentional, but if it is, well done as it made me wonder if there were even more locations that needed searching....I was about to DNF this one when I managed to spy something from the correct angle and sure enough it was the cache. Well done on this hide, very sneaky and I’m very pleased I found it!

Thanks for the sneaky cache BudoTom! Another souvenir! This time a mermaid

What thomo31 said

Found with WaywardWoman. There were a few muggles in the cricket nets so a passing glance was not enough. Came back later and bumped into the Booos who pointed us in the right direction. Signed log and returned as found. TFTC

Find number 4136.

A nice simple find once we had the right angle to view the tell.

Thanks BudoTom for placing this cache.

#4639- We had already DNF'd this because of muggles nearby but we came back and parked nearby to head over to the one we needed to go further into the park.
I hear someone calling out to us- it was the Booos who pointed us right to it. Thanks guys. Good to chat to you. Thanks

In Prestons to tackle the Of Many series. Parked where recommended and walked to start at the beginning and take them in in numerical order. Got down and dirty for no reward here. Late in the day so minimal muggles. Had the torch out but nothing came to light. All think some more and return before long. Cheers... Gaztek

Found on 2nd attempt. Visited a Geocoin.
TFTC BudoTom

OCW Mrs Aries today to get some numbers for my 3,000th find (nearly there).
We returned for another go at this one after a hint was passed on to us.
We had looked here before but not close enough...I hear your cry. .
We did the necessary and I let Mrs A put it back. TFTC BudoTom.

We struggled with this one. I'm now covered in dirt, dusting myself quite didn't work, any way off for another hunt. TFTC

No luck here.

Many places I looked, nothing was found. Maybe another time.

Great hide
Thanks for the cache

Easy find with the help of a paf, thanks.

Finding it was quicker than retrieving it as it was caught. We shortened it a little to prevent this happening again.

TFTC.

Find No.2918
Found with sesblocker.
Good coords and nice sneaky hide! I'd say it's about 900mm higher than the ground.

I had a quick look around but no luck today. I will be back, thanks.

After a few dnfs in this series and lack of time, i avoided looking for for this one until someone else found it. With sponge spare time this morning and new one to find i managed to have a go. To my luck it was in an area i forest domesticated, but didnt spot until i returned.
Thanks for the cache.

Too well hidden for us. Thanks anyway.

OCW with Mrs Aries to grab some of this new series today.
Not another DNF on this series!
We made an diligent attempt to search for this one with the hint in mind. Spent some time searching and decided to give up when one of us nearly trod in something.

Found with RIS768 after everyone had left the field for the night . Thanks BudoTom for placing this cache

Log 1469 Streak Day 523

Found with Deep_99 who was holding the torch, once I took over the torch I spotted the cache straight away. SL #3607 on streak day #2163 TFTC

Tftc. Mrs Jaybeem has been monitoring this for a couple of days and decided we’d do this on our way home from the Dr, even after a few DNFs. Very pleased to find a blank log.

I returned, I left with another DNF.

No luck on my second visit...
