Found this one muggled under the trees (assume this was the cache as contied had some attachments added to it). Place a sheet of paper for a log as our replacement log sheets were in the car some distance away and placed in an area along the edge of the path. thais should be a quick easy find for some to replace in original position when they are able to.

A nice eassy find on the way home from Sydney, a nice park and little C loved the tractor parked nearby while the workmen had smoko.
This area has changed a lot since i lived down this way. Nice big park and a good hide.

Found with Secretsquirrel-BJC.
One of 24 caches picked up on our day trip to Sydney.
Nice camo and a reasonably muggle free search zone.

Except for a lone grounds keeper, we had this lovely park to ourselves. Cockies are still, well... snug as bugs in a rug. Signed the log and paid our respects to the memory of Frederick Fisher. Thank you Tegator!
[This one was the last for the day, and it provided a little head scratching, as the GPSr didn't like the proximity of the highrise carpark. A walk to the other side of the fence was no help, as I could see a post cap that was different to all the others, but this was just a red herring, as it wouldn't budge when I came back to the park side. Just about to give up when I spied something out of place....sure enough that was it, sedimentry my dear Watson! SL, thanks for a thoughful cache]
Found after a short hunt. Luckily all the muggles were over near the playgrounds today. TNLNSL, thanks Tegator.
Tried this one last weekend but too many muggles around. Tried angain later today, hardley any muggles. Nice little hide thanks Tegator, this is becoming freaky third of your hides today, it's cool I'm not a stalker.
Found it with the family. All having heaps of fun. We've found a new family hobby. Took nothing, left a bandaid.
Took to family after the movies for a picnic lunch. Gave the GPS to the kids who did a great job in locating cache, and avoiding muggles. Hint was cleaver, kids outsmarted me.
First find of the day, after finishing up work at the council offices. Nice easy find. Needs a new log book though. Thanks.
Haven't been out caching that much lately but decided to give this one a go. A nice walk through the park and a quick find. Everything was in fairly good condition, but the log book is getting full.
Thanks for the cache

The park was busy busy busy this afternoon including a jumping castle for a kids party (team bloopy can't remember having anything quite so grand for parties as kids - what ever happened to pin the tail on the donkey and pass the parcel?). Anyway we wandered where the GPSr was sending us until we thought we needed to be somewhere else. Luckily mrs bloopy spotted something that was a little out of place and the little sucker was ours. A bit wet inside but the log was still signable.
Found this one today...snugly tucked away.
A great cache for the kids...this one was found by Geo Jye our 12 yr old.
The cockroaches are still living there.
Not many muggles around as we went just after some rain hoping it would've dampened the picnic goers day ensuring a find.
Thanks Tegator...

18.10... Accompanied with Sevabo.. Another disturb when found the cache and there had lots of cockroaches who lived under it. Argh! TFTH SL
Found by Mary & David at 1015. Not too many muggles today, but we were indeed out of sight. Good camo, but more damp contents. Our thanks again to tegator.
Find # 295 at 3:37pm
2nd go at this one today - was pouring earlier, so we diverted to Limb & End of the Road first.
Got close to GZ & there was a muggle sitting very close to GZ texting on his phone. We hung around long enough for him to get too hot in the now brilliant sunshine & we had the decoy tennis ball with us that Mr Us threw in the directin of the cache. What followed next was very funny as Big Miss Us jumped as she saw he mud & Little Miss Us ploughed straight through it, with the mud bringing her to a sudden halt!! LOL
Proved to be the perfect decoy, as she sat on the path edge whilst we searched & we had the cache very quickly.

After visiting Mount Annan Botanical Gardens decided to pick up few caches in the area and this was our first for the day.
Turns out there was some festival on that day and the park was heaving but we arrived late in the afternoon so most people were packing up to go.
Nice hide and an easy retrieval as no one was at that end of the park.

Perfect time, noone around, carpark almost empty. Also misled by false cache, but eventually found the right one.

Found the false container and thought it was the actual, however after communicating with cache owner realise that we did not find the correct cache. Oh well, had a nice walk to stretch the legs after driving up from ACT.

One on the way home after a fuel stop. Thought about a few others nearby but this ended up being the only one we did in the area.
That path is very strange. There was noone in the park first thing in the morning so we searched uninterupted.
A nice park.
Thanks, Robmc.

An unusual container that's cleverly placed. We were at first misled by a "false" cache container nearby at chest-height but we managed to finally log the correct one.

This took a little finding, even though this was the third cache I found today concealed in the same way. Once located it was duly logged and returned.
Still find it amazing that places i used to walk ast haad Caches hiding there. I swear that path did go somewhere once though. Nice little Cache, in a great hidie hole.
that park was like an avent.today mega muggles.having lots of fun.so much fun that they all had there eyes on flying kites.so a cache we grabbed sl and out of there we went tftc tegator
Found this one with a little bit of stealth due to kids fling kites and people everywhere up 100 metres from the cache but they weren't the muggles we we worried about very clever cache one we actually got a few moments to grab it thanks tegator for this brilliant cache.
Muggles galore but not exactly from where we expected. A good container in a nice park.

The last of the five caches that the kids and I did in Campbelltown while en route back to Canberra.
Found the spot easily enough, and my son came up with the goods on the cache container itself. Now I understand why you had fun hiding it

Hardest part about this was where to park- although of course plenty of spaces nearby. Quick run around from next door and cache was in hand. Thanks.
Geoson pulled this one out just as we were about to give up. He's becoming a micro magician. TNLNSL TFTC
Much easier to find with a clue, unlike last time when I spent way too long on the wrong side of the fence.
Cheers.

By the looks of things, the water levels that have flowed through past here would have been a sight to behold!
Easy find, followed the smell of mint.

Although Tegan wasn't on this trip with us, we had to go a cache with her name in it. Didn't take us too long to find this one, but we found a lid embedded that did trick us for a minute.
Found at 17:05 - Wasptor's and my fifth for the day. The original plan when leaving Canberra this morning was to go to Campbelltown and swap around some Geocoins in the area - here we were nearly 8 hours later (we got distracted on the way) finding our first Campbelltown cache. And there wasn't a coin listed in it anyway ! That said, an interesting hide that would be difficult during busy weekdays and weekends.
Thanks tegator !
Thanks tegator !
We were in the area to drop off some paperwork, and I couldn't resist grabbing this cache as it was only 180m from our parking spot. After enjoying a coffee in the park I located the cache and quickly completed the log.
A good effort for your first cache. Well done!
Thanks tegator.

On a wet day thankfully there was no-one around. A quick find. Thanks for the cache.
Visited a multi storey concrete structure not far from here last tuesday evening in search of this hide with little more than a GPSr and a will to succeed. Fortunately this time I had the relevant info and the goodies were quickly in hand. Nice spot by night, bugger all muggles about.

On the way home from VOID and FEAR, the Gizmo told us that there was a cache 300m THAT WAY. Following the needle we came to a mutli story structure that appeared to be GZ.
After searching up, and searching down, and with no idea of anything but the co-ords, we gave up and left.
Now that I look online I can see that gizmo had us well and truley in the wrong spot; no wonder we didn't find it.

The wet weather gear had barely dried from our alpine bushwalking, caching and mouse squishing odyssey and it was time to do it again. As it was too wet for the bike, opted for the walk which was a lot shorter than the ten kilometres before lunch routine we had been doing lately. Seem to recall this method of hiding somewhere else but can’t quite place where. Splashed my way back home for a nice cup of cocoa.
I'm on a road to nowhere.........
Well I finally got a chance to have a go at this cache. homedg Jnr and I went for it after being dragged on a shopping expedition next door.
Great hide, I'm looking forward to your next one.

Left a PathTag in the cache.

Driven past here several times in the last few days but have always been in a rush to be somewhere else. Had to go to the library today so this presented the perfect opportunity.
Had to contend with a muggle who was watching me intently as I hovered around doing the traditional "Cacher Square Dance". Had to take a seat and wait him out which didn't take long. Turned my head and spotted the hidey hole straight away. Good to see the amount of effort that went into your first hide, and I do like the attaching mechanism for the cache container. For me the clue made the find easy (read, no GPSr required), but that's because I knew what it was referencing.
Many years ago (OH, NO, not another childhood anecdote) this area was very different to what it is today. The cache side of the ditch was a football field, the Old Town Hall Theatre had sheds behind it that were used for rehearsals/parties, the Good Intent Hotel and Nock and Kirbys were on Queen St where Campbelltown Mall is now. The other side of the ditch was cricket fields and to get to Camden you had to cross the railway line at the level crossing. There was just an old wooden footbridge to cross Fishers Ghost Creek. No library, no sister city parks, no flood mitigation, no Hurley St, it's hard to believe it has changed so much.
