There was an old woman...#5 Mount Colah, New South Wales, Australia

We thought we could see where it was but we never saw it

So many potential good spots! Sadly couldnt find it

Started geocaching again now the baby is nearly 3. So this is her first "official" find. And what a find, she loves the little cat!TFTC

We did as suggested and parked the car before walking down to start the series at #1, along with ilook4geo. The fire trail is good walking and accessing some of the caches is a little more challenging terrain, but is rated well. It is just such a pity the caches are not being maintained.Each was an interesting hide and an interesting container and we can see a lot of work and thought had been put in originally.This cache was OK. Thanks for the series go to Importunity.

Started the series at this end with goingplaces2. Only a few muggles were out today (some with dogs) but all caches were found without too much difficulty. Good one here and the log was signed. TFTC.

Found, with shaneo58, We came down with the train from Newcastle and caught a bus from Hornsby to do this series. The bus went close to #9 so this is where we started. Nice series of caches.Signed log and Cache replaced as found.**Thanks For The Cache** Importunity.This makes the 5th cache of 9 for today making a grand total of 4313 at 10:21AM on this Thursday the 11th of January in the Year 2024

Down from Newcastle with BillHill531 targeting this series today. Humidity is thru the roof but I am enjoying this series.TFTC Opertunity.

After a couple of days of work at Sydney Olympic Park I am staying in Sydney the rest of the week at the outlaws in Pennant Hills. Remote working is fine but wanted the opportunity to explore a bit as well and this series fit the bill. A patch of bush to explore and a series of caches in a loop to collect. So I jumped in the car and eventually made it to Oxley Park.
Up the hill to this one and like others got distracted by the out of place traffic cone. Meant I hit too far ip the hill but careful searching on the WSU Fien soon had the cache in hand. All good here.

TFTC Importunity

good find

Tricky, the witches just was a distraction

I thought it would be a snake but that’s pleasant. I like those. TFTC

Loving this adventure TFTC

We decided on a day of caching in the more rural side of Sydney for Easter Saturday, so with Mighty Minions, Banj5150, eemiaj and barefootjeff, we cached our way from Mount Colah to Kenthurst in great weather for a change, finding 20 caches and a handful of trigs, and without conceding a DNF, although we came close... A great day out, a sequel is in the works!
The 'old woman series' was first. No problems here, a quick find and we continued on our way - their were a few walkers out today.... TFTC!

After pitching an idea to meet up and do some caches around here and over near Kenthurst, Banj5150, Mighty Minions, barefootjeff, Me and my dad all met up down here at the start of this series. Nice series to wake me up after I got rudely awakened by my alarm at 5:50am.

Lee737, Samuel737 ,barefootjeff, Banj5150 , eemiaj and I met up to tackle this series and a few others around kenthurst today . I loved the theme for this series and I tried to remember it and sing the song as I went around. I def forgot a few bits but I had fun anyway . As the day went on we all seemed to take it in turns making a find, which was great .loved the creativity and how you followed the theme. Thanks for the cache Importunity tnln replaced as found sl

Having found the first of the series on March 7th, today I came back with Eagle Eyed Monkey Girl for the remaining 8 caches and a small side track to K9-Capers.
It was an enjoyable walk along the fire trail.

After our sidestep to K9-Capers we were back on the fire trail and went in search of #5.
Inspecting the openings between and under rocks we roamed around. At one point I climbed on the rock and looked down, and there was a big snake at the very same spot I was standing just a minute ago, only meters away from the cache.

I called over Eagle Eyed Monkey Girl and she identified it as a RED BELLY SNAKE !!!!!
We quietly moved away and with a big circle we walked around the snake, but of course not before finding this kitty cache.

Great cache, thanks Importunity!

Meow!

#6771 I'm in Sydney for a belated Xmas get-togther with some family. After spending most of the last few days eating and floating in a pool as the temperature soared, today was a drizzly but pleasant at 20C, so it was just perfect for geocaching.

Another great cache along this lovely trail.

Thanks Importunity

The boys took a bit of a climb but enjoyed what they found. TFTC signed as The Shoesx3

Took a bit of a climb but we got it! TFTC

Tucked away nicely. Really enjoying this series. Finn with the find.

Took a card left a rubber

Loved the walk on the way and found it after looking for a while.

I brought my seven and eight year old daughters along with me for this trail and we absolutely loved it. Thank you for all the hard work you put into this.

#7477 (1 of 3 today)

Well... I'm after a decent number of finds today as my calendar total is low. But I have things to do today, and to top it off it's raining.

By the time I was free to cache the rain had set in bit, but I made my way here anyway, hoping it would fine up a bit.

And it didn't.
But while not heavy, the drizzle is constant, so decided to grab an umbrella and go for the three caches in this section of the trail.

Got all three, as well as reasonably damp from the rain and the plants. To be expected.
Two left to go in the series. I'll return.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Parked opposite the nearest entrance to GZ... Closed for Hazard Reduction? Really? Dates back in September... 2020 or 2019? Strange. Didn't see a similar sign on the other two trail heads I saw today.

Walked to GZ - and had CIH after a short scramble.

Completed signing duties and replaced. Then back to #6. Fun container as always.

OCW The_Jugheads and Geokids4&6. This one was a quick and easy little find as part of this fun series.

Found it with Anominous Sign on 25/10/2020. TFTC

Another quick find in the series. We were starting to get to know the owner's style. TFTC!

Yay

Our last for the day. Tired geokids. Be back soon to finish off the series. Thanks for the fun theme.

Nice cat

Cute

I struggled up to grab this one and checked a couple of places before finding the correct one.

Thanks again Importunity.

Hmmm.... teenager who was doing nothing found it after the rest of us were searching not stop for 10 minutes!!!

Ms Atalanta and I travelled up this way in my new car today, to give the car a short run, and to get some of this lovely spring weather. This was the sixth cache on the radar, and we found it fairly quickly.
Could not extract log book but used a page from it.

Today we headed up to Mount Colah, Mount Kuring-Gai, and Berowra to have a look at the many caches that had appeared since our last visit to the area. Started our day with the wonderful “old woman” cache series located along the Oxley Trail, then visited a golden oldie from 2004 and the GZ’s of a couple of previously solved puzzle caches. Then it was a revisit to the Tipler’s Time Trail for another encounter with Macbeth, who seemed to have moved in time & space since we last visited him, resulting in a “bonus” find on the series. We finished the day with an unusual style of Traditional cache, which took us much longer than expected to reach it’s GZ to make our final find for the day. This was the 5th of 14 finds for the day.

This one was next, and a quick find up the slope. TNLNSL, and then replaced the purrrfect cache as it had been found. TFTC Importunity.

Purrrrrfect hiding spot. TFTC!

Found it. No 5. Thanks for the cache!

Out collecting a few caches for this new GC promotion so given the number in the area figured we could make some good progress. A nice lap around the fire trails and generally didn't have too much trouble making the finds. Certainly the geo trails into the caches have quickly developed making it easy to get close to GZ. Some interesting camo and themed hides. We completed the signing duties and re hid. TFTC

Getting a little sore in the legs by now, will come back another time to finish the run.
Found this one hiding but tame.
Thanks for the interesting ones so far Importunity

tftc 28/7/20

not the animal I expected! TFTC

I scrambled around until noting a well placed piece of natural camo and retrieved the cache. I think this is where I also found a Turtle TB and took it. Thanks Importunity for a another good hide. A call of nature meant we had to leave the trail here and headed up for a "natural break" after I fetched the car then returned after lunch to continue the trail.
