Woodcroft Lake Woodcroft, New South Wales, Australia
By Deputy D0g on 18-Dec-08. Waypoint GC1JZ0A

I know this has been archived but I found it today while looking for waypoint 3 of the new multi here Woodcroft Wetland Wanderings. I signed the log and returned with the camo

TFTC

This one is gone for good .... Sorry

Looks like this one has gone missing....
Will work on a replacement

Last time I ventured here a dodgy looking muggle gave me a repulsive gesture, which ended the cache hunt.

Returned back today with no one around. I think the "X" is long gone. Turned out the muggle has maybe replaced the X.

SL, TFTC.
Blundo Busters.

Geoson and I spent quite a bit of time today searching for this with no luck. Either this is a tricky hide or has been muggled during the day as it was found earlier???

I was out for a couple of quick finds on my lunch break. This was number one, but wasn't that quick. Busy looking for an X, probably should of just looked for the cache. Thanks DD

Insta-find.

1217pm, GAFF1, Found very exposed.

No Trackables in the cache. SL and placed cache where we thought it should have been.

TFTC Deputy D0g

Nice quick easy find with geogirls....lots of birds around this morning....TFTC

A nice sunny day to go caching. Had to avoid a few muggles at times. No trackables in cache.

Great hide. Came back at nite as last time we were here was during the day and there was muggle kids having a domestic near gz. TFTC

Found it with snoopy1976 but no TB's inside

We pulled out the rug right in front and had some morning tea. Busy with muggles walking. Tftc

Reperio at 0935. Great to see this one back up and running as it is a really nice park to visit. Some stealth was needed at GZ as there was the odd passing muggle, but the container was soon spotted.

Gratias.

First to find in new location

New container hidden in the rocks surrounding the lake.... I have scraped an X to help you locate this one...
Please re-hide well as I have had problems with muggles with this one
Thx

Right to go............

seems to be missing. looked around for ages, found the likely hiding spots but no container.
EDIT: just realised I mistakenly marked as found instead of DNF, now corrected.

Will take this one off line until I get a chance to check it out

Seems to be missing. Searched all around, find likely hiding spot, but no sign of cache.

I was near by so thought I would have a look. There doesn't appear to be anything here. Even with the clue.

Think this one is missing
Can owner let us know

We are pretty sure that this one is gone. We were spot on with help of hint and pictures but no luck. We know the probable spot but it was empty. Request owner to look into it.

Leo

found with TeamBooo Thanks

co ords are way out for this one.... stopped and had a think and had CIH fairly quick this was my 250th find thanks

iphone and garmen both had has at GZ but we where out. Teambooo desided to check the obvious nearby location and came up with the goods. TNLN-SL. Also added some extra camo as the bottle was fairly easly spotted.

GPS coordinates were out so we were scratching around the scrub for a while, but we found it, nice spot. Just watch out for the feral cat! TFTC!!

This one took longer to find than it should have taken because of the amount of people passing right by but it is such a nice spot for a walk so one cant blame them.
Thanks for the cache and thanks for bringing us here.

Darkness fell and so did the realization that my iPhone4 had lead me up the garden path to GZ and all over the shop... fail

TFTC SL. Great hide.

TFTC. Didn't SL, I forgot my pen.

Nice hide and find. left UK penny

Woo hoo... after having a Geocaching day, we found this one quite easily ... we were in the zone. Found with Malkia.

Found fairly easily as cache was sitting on rocks staring at us! Put back and redid camo. TNLN. S/L.

fill in later

went out driving with the 'L' geoteen and to test out the gps on my new phone...was a little out but we found cache after short search.sl, tnln tfth.

Great spot thanks.
SL TNLN.

Found at 13:30 after a nice walk in the sunshine. This a peaceful wetlands area.

TNLNSL

Nice easy find once the GPS settled and pointed me to the right gate. There seem to be at least 2 others I checked first. Quite peaceful in this little corner. Grabbed a coin someone had somehow stuffed in there as it was larger than the opening, had to deform the roundness to get it out. Thanks Deputy D0g.

TB drop

WanderingAus wandered by on day 144 of our annual Climatic Refugee trip. After dropping the WanderingMrs (aka SWMBO) for a few hours of line-dancing I had a long leave pass. The gpsr had me within a metre of GZ to start, but then started bouncing around and led me up to the path, then back down again, but I managed a fairly quick and easy GAFF 0 find. I'd been looking for a "small", but this container is more like a micro.

My find No 3128, TNLNSL.

Reading the cache description and logs after the event in the comfort of our Milperra base I get the impression the cache has been replaced at some stage. Wuppis Track-a-bear (ref = TB36K1P) probably went missing when the cache was muggled. The cache owner needs to report this trackable as missing.

Aussie Coin BN (ref = TB39X0J) on the other hand has been muggled by a cacher. In their log for Woodcroft Lake on 1 May 2010 hillzcrew ( http://www.geocaching.com/profile/?guid=bdc1db6d-993d-4372-8eba-f21d9706eb18 ) wrote "...Found geocache coin, put back money. Will be creating our own cache soon and inserting the coin for the fist find."

They didn't do that, and haven't been active since July 2010. I've sent a couple of emails which may result in the coin re-emerging, otherwise it will also have to be reported as missing. Sad when a newbie cacher becomes a muggle.

*Recommended* *Overall Experience: 3*

T4TH Deputy D0g, very nice park you've brought me to.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Found after a short search, guarded by a lizard. #9 in Oz. TFTC #243

A nice and quick find whilst in the vicinity for work.

Cheers

Found on Fathers Day!! TFTC Deputy Dog!!

I pass this spot every day en route to work, but I've never stopped to check the place out.
Thanks Deputy Dog.

It was a rather quiet lake and park at lunch time on a Thursday. Only a couple of walkers anywhere near GZ while I was there. In fact, I saw more ducks than people.

As reported in other online logs, the published coordinates seem to be about 12-14 metres off, but the good clue makes this irrelevant. Amazing what a touch of paint does to make a small cache container harder to see!

But see it I did -- and discovered the cache to be in good condition and quite dry. TNLNSL. Parking is easy in the nearby car park, only about 25 metres from GZ.

Many thanks to Deputy D0g for this one!

Quick find at the start of our western caching day. Coords out by about 10-14 m but the clue is enough to reveal it.
Thanks!

TFTC - Nice easy find in the dark.

Was a quick find at night. TFTC

Found armed with a dolphin torch and a headlamp =)

Great cache..! Thanks!!

Found this one after finding Blacktown Olympic Park 1 was a bit scary at night, its very dark but didnt have to worry about muggles being the early hours of the morning !! The boys found this one, and us girls stayed closer the the light ! TFTC

Lake was pretty full, plenty of ducks too. Thanks for bringing us here

TFTC

TFTC

The coordinates for this one had us a reasonable distance from the actual cache location, but the clue made it a nice easy find, anyway.

I love little lakes like this out in the west- a nice hide, which geohubby found again today. TFTC

Tftc tnln

Once the GPS settled down, found nicely. A nice park for the locals to walk around which many were doing today.
TFTC / TFTH / SL

found this one on our trip from NZ to Oz, we used to live and walk around here lots when we lived in the area. TFTC

Found wirth @hillzcrew & @chrisjz, first one for the night and was a good find TFTC thankfully no spider bites

TFTC

Hillz found (SB, ZY, CZ) this late in the night, following SB instincts found the rocks, was pretty easy to find once we were there. Found geocache coin, put back money. Will be creating our own cache soon and inserting the coin for the fist find.

Nice walk in the Park.
Dropped in Aussie Coin..

Hard to find. I figured it would be in the place it was, but the cache itself is hard to pick out amongst all the other rubbish. The cache is a pill bottle. So you have to look hard.

Did not find this one but fhun police called and had to call it a day

Relogging my old finds.

Found with team_extremepc

looks like the cache is back at the old Co-ords. TFTC.

Very nice park and lake in a nice area.

Cache well hidden, all ok.

Tks ...... Deputy Dog ...... GazMag

Totes founds bro.

This was a quick find despite my GPSs sending me else where. TFTC

Not sure if the clue refers to the original or new GZ, either way I didn't find the cache, but it is surprising where people put dog pooh rather than picking it up! I even resorted to using the GPSr in my new mobile phone but still no luck, it took me to the same place my trusty eTrex did. I searched about a 15m radius, but since realising that my DNFs cost me more time than my finds, I limited myself to 30 minutes searching before moving on.

Also found the old container. First cache logged!

Found this one on the wab back from a meeting.
It seems that I found the old container as I havent updated the the cache listing in my phone
As previously noted the origional container at the origional co ordinates has a caching note only
TFTC

** Coordinates Changed From **
S 33° 45.285 E 150° 52.831
Distance From Old: 61.8 feet or 18.9 meters
Moved to hopefully keep the muggles away from it..
Cache container is now a little smaller so NO Trackables Plz

See how this one goes........

Another nice park in our area
Geokids work out that dad had started off in the wrong direction but they enjoyed the walk around the lake.
We also found the cache empty. Thank's for the hunt.

Will check on this one

Found but did not contain a logbook or anything except for Geocaching explanation. was not hidden well so hid better.
No Travel bug in sight.

Quick find, nice area.

cache was empty, save for the geocaching explanation,

just dropping off a TB Aussie track a bear

Really nice place. I counted at least 8 different types of birds, all of which moved out of my way. Found the cache really quickly. TFTC!

Nice cache, really well hidden from view. TFTC SL

This was my first attempt at a cache on my own...unfortunately i looked and looked and i didnt find...i'll be going back to find it at a later date..

Found it finally! with the help of my expert friend Very good hide...TFTC

After receiving a cry for help sms from geogumnut this afternoon on her first adventure alone looking for a cache, i decided to help her out tonight by going hunting again to search for it.
She said she spent 90 mins looking for the cache this afternoon to no avail. So at 2100 tonight, i picked her up and we went hunting.
10 mins into my search i had CIH. Geogumnut was NOT impressed to say the least.... much to my amusement.
TNLNSL TFTC

NIce spot to sit and admire the shopping trolley. The views of the lake from nearby were good too!

TNLNSL. TFTC.

Ta for the fresh log book Deputy. Cache covered well when we got there this arvo, two little muggle boys hangin about but they seemed more interested in the pond.

Strange muggle boys around... one adventurous, the other unwilling to follow his friend because the grass would touch his shoes!!! For some unknown reason, Argeisia hums when shes pretending not to be cacheing. [?]

Replaced log book all OK
No Pen or Pencil in the cache please bring your own...
This cache was again uncovered when I got there tonight .... Not sure what is going on !!
Can we please ensure that the cache is well camouflage with the many smaller rocks located in the area.
PLEASE ALSO Refrain from putting trackables in this cache for the time being
Thx
Deputy D0g

didnt have a pen/pencil so i coudnt sign logbook but all good 1 more to my name......cheers

Found this one today cache is empty even the log is gone,I didn't have a spare but left a piece of paper with my log.

tftc tnln sl

Nice place. Log is in bad condition. Need replacement.

Found it with company of my uncle, on a 9km run around this area.

Arrived at GZ (well actually 15m awayb now and I saw the contents lying around on above the rocks . All the contents were on above the rocks and the container was apart from the lid about 20cm away, and the container had about 1cm of water in it and then I emptied it out. The log book was very saturated. Luckily I had a pen and signed it. And the (supposely a muggler) signed the log book with a sign like graffatti on walls.

Put the container back where the hint said and didn't put the clip ons as It will make it (hopefully) a bit dryer.

But any way it was nice easy find and a nice place too.

Will bring tb through

will need new log book.

excellant. imagine this area 20yrs ago. Saw Aussies out walking and excersizing everywhere. was a great sight.
Thanks Acko

Nice easy stroll TNSL

Nice to see such a fine lake replete with an assortment of wildfowl midst the urban wastes. Nicely sited cache to, away from prying muggle eyes allowing an easy find.

Last cache with other three geocachers because getting dark! Nice lake and walk paths! Thanks Sevabo, Skyjam, ijr and my son Jarvis who joined with us all! Thanks for hidden

wow nice lake and easy stroll to GZ and enjoyed our last cache for the day. took Geocoin Thanks for bringing us here

This was 14th caches for the day and it was lovely and easy stroll to GZ beside the lake at sunset almost! Dropped Geocoin off.
