Received a report from team-Temps that the cache has been muggled. I will be up sometime in the next few weeks to survey the situation. This one may get archived. I will provide more info as soon as I can.
I found my first muggles for the morning here. I had to wait for a jogger and a dog walker to leave and after that the find was pretty straight forward. The sunshine I mentioned in an earlier log lost out to the rain here and I had to run back to the car fearing it was about to get heavier. This stretch of track was quite a nice spot to visit.
Thanks,

Mmmmm C@W and I thought as we approached GZ thinking we knew where the cache would be. C@W found a large black hairy spider instead. As I stood there doing the head scratching thing I spotted a location that could be the right one. Yay 2nd find for the day. Did the usual and then had to wash my hands as the green paint / stuff from the bridge had changed their colour. Thanks.
Took - Nothing
Left - Nothing

Once we found the right access to the path, it was all easy. Well easy for Uncle Jiffy whereas I got nearly spidered (eeeew, big, black and hairy) as well as green fingers from the bridge. What was it painted with I wonder, Kermit skins?
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks Team_Ninja for this cache today. It was a nice warm day and just the right walking distance from the car for us blokes today.

Found by Mary & David at 1115. It's not good for mary to come to newer housing estates, as she gets envious of the landscaping, the parks and walkways. No chance of the creek flooding today. School holidays for once meant fewer children, but the older locals were out and about having their Sunday constitutionals. Not hard once we had the vicinity to ourselves. Our thanks to Team Ninja.
We were very close to the forbidden time in the afternoon, the muggle mums were starting to circle. A couple walked past on our way to GZ, but then we had a clear spot and quickly found the cache.
The creek is not looking too flash atm.
Thanks, Robmc.

Timed our approach here well it seems. Just before the schools out rush. Nice spot and hide although the effects of the prolonged drought are evident here.
Thanks again.
Thanks again.

Once we found the correct way in the cache was very quickly found. The area here is really great and must be well used by all the local. We look forward to part 2.

Found by Bevfre11-30am Finding the way to this cache was the hard part.TN LN SL.Thank You Team Ninja
Decided to get this one on the way home.
Even at 5.30 the muggles are about walking their dogs!!
To think, I used to live near here in Killara.
Nice hide.

Found easily today. Almost too easily and a bit surprised that it wasn't actually under the item here. Whatever, it is a lovely spot and the nearby residents must be thankful! TFTC.

Found by Roma and Max.
Although we had GZ to ourselves there were still many overlooking windows to cause us a certain amount of concern.
Fortunately we made a quick find, left our mark in the log and made no exchange.
Thank you Team_Ninja for placing another cache so close to our daughter and her family.

Wow, a FTF. We felt pretty sure that a local would have beaten us to the punch. (But then again - even locals have to dodge the early morning, dog walking, muggles.

Found by Team Ladava 12.00 noon.
Less than one km from our home coordinates made this one the obvious choice for our 'clean up the local caches roundup' today.
As previously logged we had the added pleasure of meeting up with feathertop again and for the first time featherdown.

Our thanks to Team_Ninja for another cache in a very pleasant local spot.

Our thanks to Team_Ninja for another cache in a very pleasant local spot.
As I was walking down to the green bridge with featherdown at around 12 noon we spied a couple acting extremely suspiciously around GZ. As they feigned interest in the underside of the bridge I recognised them as team Ladava securing a second to find on this already popular cache. Always nice to meet other cachers at work and after exchanging pleasantries we went on our respective ways.
Thanks team ninja.

I was accompanying feathertop and as Team Ladava had already found the cache there was no searching required.
I often don't leave the car to find a cache but the short walk down to the bridge looked attractive. Thanks Team Ninja.
