Big day of Sunday caching to tick off a few goals. The main goal of completing a Shire LGA challenge cache, needing Campbelltown, Bankstown and Liverpool.A nice quick find at GZ. TFTC
TFTCSixth and second cache for this area today, out from the Sutherland areas. Found instantly once at GZ. Nice !Cache and logbook are in good condition. TFTC, signed and replaced.
Very clether spot but spot spot spot spot spot spot spot spot spot spot spot cool
Found on a hop through the Campbelltown surrounds with Foreignnebula and Cheese_Pizza13! Thanks for the cache!
Found with ReverseG and Cheese_Pizza13! First find of the day after two previous DNFs. Tftc!
Out and about with the kids this afternoon on a geocaching adventure. We chose this area as there seemed to be a lot of caches close to the road that did not require bush-bashing to get to.We pulled into this area and given the options, it did not take us long to find the cache. We signed the log and replaced everything as found for the next lucky cacher. TFTC and the adventure.
Out and about travelling through some of Sydney’s southwest suburbs with The Rats for a variety of finds today.

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.

A new style of container. Nice!
A quick find while the neighbours were watching us while pretending to put their bins away
Sometimes you feel so dodgy geocaching ???
TFTC. Kids enjoyed a play at the park.

Great location, the daughter got a runout in the park up the hill. What a great view from up here. TFTC.
Quick and easy, and the very definition of a park and grab. Pulled up next to GZ, and even searching by torchlight, there weren't too many places where an item could be hidden. The first real possibility I came across was the right one. Woohoo!
TFTC!

My first ever geocache, gave me a reason to get on my push bike and get outside. Some nice little parks in the area, thanks for creating this.
Unfortunately did not find, maybe it is because I’m an very new at geocaching, would love some help!
TFTC. A nice quick 7 th find. I know I said it would be my last at the last one but I was driving past and had to stop.
After finding this cache 2 years ago, but being unable to open it (it must of been screwed on too tight..) I finally was able to sign the log today! Thank you.
This was a nice easy one not like some of your others. Sweetmanda you have been busy going by the number of caches you have hidden. TFTH.
I came out to this area today for a change of pace, trying to stay away from crowds and people as much as possible and these caches were perfect for that. Thanks for this one, it was an easy find TFTC
Well, it didn't take me long to find this. I was expecting a smaller container than it turned out to be and looking along the likely area when something looked very odd. Not as odd as what I found on closer inspection though. Was this container made for another hiding place? Oh, and isn't it lovely when you're nearly at the end of one side of a log and spend all your time rolling and unrolling.
Quick find! Went to the area and spotted it straight away. This is my 300th find!
Teamed up again with morty8888 for a days caching around Glen Alpine. Today's target was the CO's small parks series. We visited twenty of the twenty one caches in the series and had eighteen finds and two dnf's. We didn't attempt number 18 as we weren't sure how to access the park. I enjoyed reading the background to the naming of the parks/reserves and noted that a lot of the containers were something that I regularly see for sale at the local chemist chain for use as a pill container.
A quick find once I negotiated the Farmers Friends again.
TFTC Sweetmanda.

With the weather in good form and a bunch of caches by Sweetmanda waiting to be found, Oldmorty and I headed south. With a large list of pros to visit we ended up finding all we attempted bar 2.
Second last for the day and Oldmorty has sooo many friends and he isnt even a farmer. I stood back lonely. TFTC!

We had the cache in hand but didn’t have any luck on signing the log. We will be back!
Found myself up in the Campbelltown area after a change of plans. Picked off a bunch of caches over a few hours. Lots of swooping birds out today. All caches found with decent coordinates and quality hints. TFTC
Found and another smiley ??? ??? too. Thanks for the placement of ***Abington Reserve***, *Sweetmanda*.

Floating around while the others use their amazing skills to find the cache, well, not much help was needed, *ThrosbyOC* had things well under control. Log signed ?? and replaced and the scene evacuated OCW *Throsbyonchurch* and *DustyJasperJet*. TFTC Sweetmanda! Your efforts in placing and maintaining this cache is much appreciated.
Found 4:14pm 
Coming back through from the cache *Let's go to Melbourne* on Appin Road, I am heading for Menangle Road. I managed to get myself a little lost being unfamiliar with the area, although I had a rough idea where to go. I found myself the road passing by here and noticed this cache as I approached and it was close - no long walk through the reserve. I stopped thinking I would have a quick look and see if it came to light. Didn't take long and I had CIH and was back on my way again.
Some of the houses around here are beautiful, especially the cone topped turrets. They have so much character compared to 'some' of the ugly houses being built in the new estates of now. Thanks for the cache hides. Hopefully I will get myself back here soon to suss out hides in the other reserves around Campbelltown.

Working away today and a break was called for. Deciding to grab some lunch and start a mini geoventure for a couple of caches, I came into Rosemeadow to pick up some more of the AGAAS. Meeting up with Mizcupcake at gz, she had this one quickly. Another AGAAS cache done and dusted. TFTC Sweetmanda!
OCW The Bebes and although it was windy at the top of the hill it was a quick find.
A little bit of overnight rain made the cache not necessary today. Just a Sunday find to earn the souvenir for the weekend.
Thanks Sweetmanda

Filling in a date on my finds calendar.
The CO repositioned the cache after my previous DNF.
An easy find this time around.

I am on a night-time run around the area in the hope of finding places to drop off a handful of trackables. As a small near the road, this one was on my radar but sadly a bit too small for TBs. Still, an easy find of a familiar but clever hide. TFTC!
Heading from the Scottish part of Glen Alpine to the English section I found Abington Reserve.
I could see where I thought the cache might be and that's where the GPS pointed.
I noticed that these parks might need to be watered sometime!
After finding the cache and doing the legal stuff I decided to walk up the hill to the top of the park to check out what I assumed would be a view of the district.
Yep, there's a view but sadly even today with lesser traffic than usual you can hear the hum of the motorway.
What a shock, the world's most hideous house is also up here - completely out of character with the rest of the suburb. Considering the idea behind the development of the suburb what was the council thinking to allow it?
