Time for this one to go, had the record actually been broken there might have been a good reason to continue maintaining it, but it's probably better to open this area to newer, better caches, and possibly a new world record attempt in the future!
Looked around, thought previous person may have been inexperienced, but gave it our best shot.
Quickly found with Nibletricecakes on a long weekend in the Windsor/Richmond area. TFTC.
Up in Sydney with GLISS! For some caching, exploring and the East Richmond parkrun. Tackling some of the long multis whilst we are in the region today. Thought we would grab this one whilst we are here. Thanks for the cache!
A very quick find around a station Im familiar with when I was younger and didnt know what geocaching was. But anyways, the logbook is getting full and will need to be replaced. TFTC!
Speaking of world record I found this cache in world recorded time thanks for the cache keep the great work up!!
so funny being right next to the road, many muggles staring. area kinda sus bc of the rubbish everywhere but otherwise, great view
#7160- Found while on my way for a catch up with friend. A nice easy one which the type is starting to become stereotypical of urban finds. Thanks
Found It!
A quick find here after the nearby event. A bit odd that it's the 11th August 2013 given I went to an event called "International Geocaching Day" on the 17th August 2013.

I’ve been parking at the nearby railway station for the past month and haven’t bothered
To check out what caches might be in the area. So today was a quick park and grab before heading home. Did the legals and replaced as found. TFTCM

Wasn't sure where to park, but spotted a new section of road with a dead end and nothing built around it. Turns out it was the right place to be.
Found with shaneo58, We came down from Newcastle to Do the Metro adventure Lab and picking up some along the way. Nice quick find for this one Not really a park and grab from the train.
Signed log and Cache replaced as found.
**Thanks For The Cache** Rheneas.
This makes the 10th cache of 11 for today making a grand total of 4028 at 1:00PM on this Thursday the 9th of March in the Year 2023

Down from Newey for our first metro ride and did this wile in the area. TFTC Rhonda's.
I did pause to enjoy the blue mountains thankyou. What a weirdly desolate urban landscape before them though. Unserviced Low density like that is upsetting.
Today we headed out to The Ponds and Kellyville Ridge, catching a 280 bus to Chatswood and a Metro train to Tallawong Metro Station, then walking down to Ironbark Lake. After doing a lap of the lake’s circuit pathway, and collecting a couple of Adventure Lab stages along the way, we next walked to Peel Reserve and then followed the pathways down along Second Ponds Creek. After that it was a walk through the backstreets to Windsor Road and up to Rouse Hill Metro Station for our return journey homeward. Collected a MultiCache, a few Adventure Lab stages, and numerous Traditional caches during the trek. This was the 1st of 12 finds for the day.
This was our first cache stop after hopping off the train at Tallawong Metro Station, and it was a nice quick find on arrival at GZ. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found. The area looks like a planned housing estate that never happened, with weeds now growing in the cracks along the streets.
We had also participated in the 2022 World Record Attempt, and it was a pity that it was not successful. TFTC Rheneas, and 73 to you.

Another quick one near the train. My legs were pretty nackered at this point. TFTC!
Quick detour off the main road to an easy find sans gps. Think I’ve found one in this dead end before?? While the World Record Attempt was unsuccessful on the day, did do my bit to help. Another smiley with the same name is a bonus reward today.
Found with kidlets. What a beautiful morning this morning and a beautiful view, except for the fences.
Soon this will be replaced with buildings.
Thank you for bringing us here.

I am gradually catching up with my logging - I'm missing two months worth or so. And that's over 100 caches! At least my most recent finds are up to date - just need to fill in the gap!
To be honest, while I still find searching for caches fun, I'm finding logging less so. But I have to log to get me stats and souvenirs, so...
Only a few Adventure Labs and my First2Finds have been written up in a timely manner - don't want people racing out when it's already been snaffled.
Nevertheless, I have kept up with my 2022 goal of 16 finds per caching day. In fact, for the most part my modus operandi has been to actually aim for 20. So far I've only failed on that a few times, and only by 1 find. Amazingly I'm on track for 19 finds per day, I just have to put my mind to my future goals... 25 per day? Owwww.
Thanks to all the CO's who have made it possible to keep my goal in sight. Most of the finds have been Traditionals, but a few Puzzle series and the odd other cache type have been grabbed where possible.
Sorry the logs are very generic, but I'll never catch back up otherwise.
###END OF GENERIC ABJECT GROVELLING SECTION###
Quick trip to Parklea for a brace of finds.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Quick find, sign and replace.

I did my bit for the record day but it was not to be. GZ was pleasantly deserted and although the phone was heading for a fence, intuition suggested a quick check elsewhere first. Thanks Rheneas.
Came from Battle Cache with Sensible Shoes and Shoes Junior. Wuick find by me. Signed as 'the shoes x3' TFTC
We were on our way out this morning to attend an event when we saw this cache pop up as a (FTF) possibility, so we took a short detour with ilook4geo to have a look for this one. It was found in the obvious place and the log was unsigned when we opened it. Woohoo! A joint (FTF) with ilook4geo! Thanks go to Rheneas for this opportunity which was quite close to home. Our first cache on this World Record day. We hope this helps to create a new record.
Was going to go further out for a find for todays World Record attempt.
I was just heading off when I saw another possible Cacher on approach - why else would they at this spot?
But this one was published very close to hone, saving me a trek.
Thanks for the new hide, Rheneas. Also good to see you're still at it.

Found this cache as a joint (FTF) along with goingplaces2 at 9.30 am. Easy find to start the day. Stamped the log and replaced all as found. TFTC.
Found around 5pm, nice easy one for the world record. What a cracking view, TFTC Rheneas!
TFTC came for a quick park n grab on the way home so we can be included in the numbers ??
Was the World Record achieved?
I did my bit by attending the event at Rouse Hill Regional Park and then finding this cache on the way home. Looks like lots of cachers have been here since I found it and made the long drive home.
I parked near my cache which is just the required distance away. Having looked at google satellite and streetview when this was published I walked to where I assumed it was hidden but it turns out google is out of date. However I could see the cache!
So a bit of devious work and I made it to GZ and signed the log.

After attending BattleCache, C62 and I went and searched out this new cache and as it was placed for the record that is trying to be beaten.
We parked nearby and made our way to GZ.
It was a quick find and logging.

Wife said we were going for a world record, so came for a quick find near home to add to numbers. TFTC
