TFTC AussiePam. Another good one!No pen today so photo of log as evidence

Found this on a clear and sunny day. Having a picnic in the park. TFTC

Our first mystery cache! Thank you so much Aussie Pam. You are a legend for helping us find our first one! Great hide. Cache in good condition. New paper and dry. #74 overall!

Maintenance performed. Good to go.

The logbook is full, I used the last spot.

This one was solved a whole ago, what a weird yet not too difficult puzzle. I discovered that the cache was just a walk from Waverton station so I went and did a quick grab before catching the bus back. The cache itself was slightly visible when I approached the structure in question although I dismissed it as some rubbish. Upon further inspection, I managed to extract and sign the last spot on the log. Some maintenance may be required in the future as the cache is a bit battered as well, presumably from people returning the cache to its hiding spot although the contents are dry. TFTC!

1128 for the tribeOut caching North of the Bridge for the afternoon with a generally successful trip, with new places discovered, Jasmer gaps filled and good harbour views. To start the adventure the tribe visited yet another of AussiePams North Sydney hidden Oasis caches. These are all in great spots and offer calm from the surrounding chaos. Cache in good condition, apart from a few webs. TFTC AussiePam!

Found It!This was a quick solve yesterday and then a quick find at GZ today after waiting for some dog walkers to move on!TFTC

We enjoyed a very nice walk of 10km around this area whilst geocaching. A nice puzzle and a nice location for a cache. TFTC AussiePam

Found, with shaneo58, We came down from Newcastle to do some caches along the northern line. near Wollstonecroft and Waverlyt. Today started of poring down rain and a bit nippy, but turned out OK by the time we got off the train. Looked in the spotsfrom previous finder, just about to DNF it, but walked around to find it under foot, slightly mangellled. Put where you would expext it to be. could do with some TLC.Signed log and Cache replaced as found.**Thanks For The Cache** AussiePam.This makes the 5th cache of 12 for today making a grand total of 4213 at 10:08AM on this Thursday the 28th of September in the Year 2023

Weird "puzzle" but easy find once at the GZ

Nice and simple. One of our complained cleared out a hole, and then we found it. Not in the hole. Very good.

I solved this one almost by accident and Lo and behold I had coords. So I found the cache. As I’m short I had to do a little climbing to grab it!
As I got in my car the dash lit up “5km till empty” for fuel which was a little different to the message i had while parking (20km left), so in my mad dash to grab fuel I didn’t even log a draft for this one. Noticed it unlogged on my map this afternoon.
Thanks for the colour puzzles, AussiePam.

I’m visiting from Brisbane spending a few days geocaching. I solved (nice and easy) last week before my trip. It was quite busy at gz and not being tall, it was going to be tough. I climbed up one side and couldn’t see anything. I almost gave up because of so many people and what they’d think of a granny climbing this structure! But I decided to give the other side a go and thank goodness, spotted it. Quickly signed and replaced. Tftc

Hadn’t actually solved this cache, but spied it on the map when I was nearby. Opened up the listing and thanks to a cool Cachly feature I worked out what needed to be done almost instantly and had a good looking set of coordinates! Always nice to get a bonus mystery!

Once I reached the final location I managed to make a quick find, I’m fairly tall however and still had to stretch a bit! Wouldn’t be easy for someone shorter!

Thanks for the fun

Wrong side at first but tall enough to make the grab, thanks for the hide

Got to GZ and thought I was going to need to get a bit more physical than anticipated - fresh out of a moon boot thought it was going to be beyond me.

Luckily I was able to catch a glimpse and make the find without any of that physicality

All in order here... Thanks!

Left the house before 6am this morning to drop the geodog off for a dental procedure at the vet in North Willoughby.

This means I have the whole day to pass, geocaching, until I can collect her. I hit the pavements.

I’m no skier but I do love a sparkly black diamond.

Hopped up for CIH

Cache still in position. Clue indicator teplaced. Good to go

Out in the area today and had solved this a while back. Alas no luck finding even with the hint which didn't trigger anything for me.

TFTC from the Kayakviking!
A little short on pens today but bigger on athletics.

In an attempt to populate some of our single & double find days with more finds on our “finds by found date” matrix I stopped off on my way home from work this afternoon for this previously solved Mystery/Puzzle cache from the AussiePam Colour Coordinated Cache Collection.

Neither of us was ever confident enough to tackle a Black Diamond ski run back in our ski days, being content with Green & Blue runs at the time, but happy to have a go at this Black Diamond today.

Arrived at GZ and spied the likely hide location, which I wasn't quite prepared for in my appropriately coloured black work trousers. But it's a Black Diamond rated cache after all, so I'm up for the challenge . And, after performing the necessary manoeuvres, I soon had the lovely black diamond in hand. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found.

Black Diamond rated runs are also used on mountain bike tracks, and there is one very close to one of our caches at Manly Dam, complete with Black Diamond warning signage. Thanks AussiePam for another CCCC puzzle & cache.

I was heading into the city and decided to stop off here enroute for a stroll between the W stations, having solved the puzzle a while ago. The locale was pretty quiet, so I was able to search in peace. It took longer than it should have as my phone decided to focus me on the wrong object, but once I readjusted I quickly had CIH - TNLNSL, TFTC

Out caching with oldmorty in the rain.
Missed the first time I was here but found today with a big stretch.

Braved a few spiders for this find.
I solved the puzzle earlier this week without too much trouble. It’s nice to have an easier mystery cache.
Cheers

OCW morty8888. Glad to reverse a previous dnf with frazeydaze on Sunday. Don't know how we missed it then.

Thanks for placing this cache AussiePam.

OCW Oldmorty and had some of AussiePam's colourful hides to find. This was the first and once slightly elevated was able to catch a glimpse of the black diamond. TFTC!

We prodded, poked and jumped but no find for frazeydaze and I today.

Having solved this a little while ago on one of the many rainy days we realised we were close today so headed over some elevation and the hide was soon found. We completed the signing duties and re hid. TFTC

Back over to the north side for another evening cycle cache run. I’m becoming more familiar with these lovely streets, although hilly enjoyable cycling. This was another fun puzzle, thanks AussiePam and found after waiting out muggles on foot and in cars, busy place even in the dark! #1372

Everything about this cache was a surprise.

Firstly it's always a surprise when there's a new cache not far from home.
Secondly I don't know how I solved it - I was looking at the cache page with the TV on in the background and something seemingly important came on so I jumped up and went over to look, was about floods, and when I returned to the computer the answer was on the screen - how did that happen???
Thirdly I wouldn't have come here today except I ended up parked almost beside GZ while going for another cache.

So I found the cache no problem and then was surprised to find an ancient muggle standing behind me while I was doing something crazy. She looked at me as if it was really unbelievable and continued her walk.

After meeting the CO earlier this afternoon to join in the new Adventure Lab, I decided to do a few more of the colourful caches in this part of town.
After Hazel I drove on to Black Diamond. Part of the park is under renovation but that did not stop me from finding the little cache as a very logical place.
TFTC AussiePam.

Once the GPS settled I made the find a little higher than D2.

I found the puzzle difficult too but it’s not.

TFTC.

I had been feeling black over the past couple of weeks with all the rain and wind. I over thought the puzzle at first, then had a light bulb moment. I took the plunge to GZ today with a break in the weather. Along with the geodog Zelda, we strolled over to GZ past the construction site. The GPS had me checking one place then swinging back to the obvious. After hitching Zelda to a post, I made the jump to GZ to have CIH. We weren't feeling black anymore, but now happy to get another yellow smiley as we cleared out these colourful caches. From one Aussie to another, Zelda says thanks AussiePam. TFTC

Over complicated the puzzle and nearly over complicated the find. Easy in the end.
SL TFTC

I've been looking forward to more of AussiePam's colours, even if this one is really a total lack of colours. GPS drew me to large wooden things before wandering back to the real gem. Thanks AussiePam.

What do you get if you cross Black Sabbath with Neil Diamond? Seagulls, Bloody Seagulls!! Nice puzzle, easy find. TFTC AussiePam

Found relatively quickly but then the GOMs approached asked if he FTFed the other one. He said no… The race begins!! TFTC
