13:04hrs - i thought there used to be an archived cache here 2 metres from GZ? I could be mistaken. I was anticipating somwthing a little more difficult, but glanced in the obvious place & found it. No joke, i see why its a 2, traffic kept coming from 3 different directions (grabbing cache was tricky). TFTC.

In the run-up to my trip to Australia, I tried to solve this series. I needed help with some of the puzzles.

Today my tour took me back to Penrith to look for more caches of this series.
After a short search I found what I was looking for.

Many thanks for this great series
Best regards

3rd stop for the day. I haven't been in this suburb before but funnily enough years ago I was friendly with a girl whose father was the minister of the Uniting Church down the road from here and used to live here.
It's nice and quiet around here.
I parked the geomobile in the side street and must have brushed against some plant with a lovely aniseed fragrance, very good on a hot day!
Although the container was what I expected the hide was different and the co-ordinates were good.

TFTC # 4703

Another Suburb ticked - #4. Made a relatively quick find late at night once I had eliminated all other possibilities.
I think Orchard Hills are my favourite Penrith suburb.

9th of 11 for the night & like everyone else I reckon, searched the wrong item first. I stopped and read previous logs before disappearing from sight and signing the log before reappearing into GeoRyans view.
What a great way to rack up 2hrs of night learner driving, thanks ws_cachers

We have travelled from Sydney’s Northern Beaches to Emu Plains for a short four day caching holiday, staying in a park cabin at the Ingenia Nepean River BIG4 Holiday Park at Emu Plains, and are planning to explore around Emu Plains and the areas between Castlereagh and Warragamba. Will be concentrating our efforts on collecting the Penrith geoart caches and the Warragamba geoart caches, most of which we have managed to solve before leaving home, and also hoping to complete a new local Adventure Lab that has appeared since our last visit to the area. May also collect some solved “Band Caches” puzzle caches, and “Suburbs of Penrith LGA” traditional caches, that we happen upon during our travels. This was our 17th find of the day (day 4), and 88th find of the holiday.

After collecting another PGA puzzle cache this LGA traditional cache was next on our list. A very familiar location with some interesting features, which we had visited previously for a now archived cache. We had DNFed that one, but as it turned out it was missing at the time we looked for it. No such issues today with this new cache placement, which was a nice quick find in the first place we looked. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found. TFTC ws_cachers.

Find #4944

#8344 (3 of 6 today)

OK, so today I don't need any calendar finds... but I'm grabbing a slew of caches today anyway. Because I can!
And decided to head out to Penrith LGA to snag some more of the *PGA* series. Never a bad thing to up my WIG count!

Pity about the one DNF. Curses!
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Arrived in a familiar spot, where I'd previously made a find.
So is it where the last one was, or in the other logical spot?

Checked the easy spot first. Nope. So... there is the not ubiquitous cache container for this series.
Signed, replaced and hit the road to my next target.

We stayed in Penrith last night after attending our god-daughter's birthday bash, so that gave me the opportunity this morning to run around Penrith this morning collecting the next batch of its suburbs before we head back home to the Central Coast.

Another place I recall finding a cache previously. Lots of passing traffic at this time of morning made for a more difficult find than it might otherwise have been, but the job got done. Thanks for the hide and for the series ws_cachers.

Another tour of your LGA. I’m glad you got to explore yours like I did mine in the Blue Mountains.

As a health care worker, thanks to all those who helped get the numbers down by staying in their LGA except for leaving for essential reasons. It made a big difference to the hospitalisation rate.

TFTC.
