Found it , I had walked past this spot a few times, after getting off the train.
Nice and quick, 2nd find for the morning while up visiting with Wal to help with some Scout training.

Out caching with Wassa, and just enough time for a second cache before heading back to the Scout Hall. Nice and quiet here at 7am on a Sunday morning, the cache was quickly found, log signed and we were on the way back.
TNLNSL, thanks for the cache,
best wishes,

This was an interesting area to locate a cache due to local history and rail items. Found nearby GC19BF earlier in the day. Had someone with me who was new to the geocaching scene and she was quite excited. It's good to show someone new a relatively easy cache as it helps to build confidence for future seaches. FNLN Thank you c.j.b
Found by MADSTARS. Fairly quick grab. However had to wait for around 20 minutes until the train to come and collect all the muggles before we could put it back without being seen.
Took giraffe.
Left Emu and Camel.
Thanks for the adventure

It's been a VERY long time since I was in this neck of the woods. So long, in fact, that I couldn't even remember where Cockle Creek Station was.
So, I followed the GPSr and found the parking area. After wandering about for a bit, I had the cache in hand quickly.
TNLNSL TFTC!

A drive by on my way back to the Freeway landed me with this one, not too many people around today only one lady and she left on a train before I nabbed the cache. Nothing left nothing taken Thanks for the cache!
Easy Find. TFTC. You have inspired me to create a new cache in the area. Keep watch for an interesting new one in the next day or two
When we arrived the place was completely abandoned so we had no muggles to contend with. Located GZ really quickly and from there the additional hint made it an easy find. TNLN, TFTC.

The cache has been moved slightly (about 1 metre west), as the former location had become rather exposed.
Found it ! Somebody is playing games with me. Went there at 7:00a.m. and there was no cache to find. Returned at 5:00p.m. and the cache is right there in the place I had looked earlier. Oh well, a find is a find. TFTC SL TNLN.

Yay, good news. (It was looking like all the caches I'd hidden for a friend to find might all disappear before she gets around to them..)
I think it's gone! I had the place to myself so I gave it a good look. - nothing!. I found a spot that matched the clue perfectly but the space under the object was empty. Oh well! Thanks for the hunt.

15:48. First find for a while was this one. Had to out-wait some muggles in the area and then made a quick dash to GZ to find the cache fairly easily. Nice hide! Hope you can get Scenic Lake 3 in sometime soon 
TNLN. Thanks for the cache.

Thought this one would demand some super stealth however I had the area to myself and the cache was quickly logged.
Hope it survives the council clean ups
Good one.

Found on a trip to Warners Bay to visit Dippin' Dots as a reward for the geokiddie receiving an award at school today.
Relatively easy find, except for the rain.

GPS was all over the place on this one. Followed it over here, then over there, then over there... Finally happened on the right place. 
Maybe I should read the hints more often. heheh Thanks for the cache.

I think that the hiding place is a bit of a gamble (let's hope that the next Clean-Up Australia Day isn't too soon), but it seems to work. Grubby hands though.
Not the most glam of stations or locations, but I still like it here.
