Quick find in the logical place. What a gorgeous spot & the perfect place to release a TB with a mission. Please help it on its way! TFTC!0

Thank you for the cache . My bro found it in a flash after some recon!

TFTC! Found with ChickenEmpyre, nice and quick find

Spent 30-40mins looking. Found nothing

A wonderful walk along the creek. Stunning! Thanks for bringing me here! SL, Replaced as found,TFTC Ozjeeper

Visited it during 28-days geotrip to Australia, N.Caledonia, Vanuatu, Fiji, Am.Samoa, Fr.Polynesia with Marci, Ch. Sometimes we logged as "MT" or "Jonea" or "MTCh". Thanks for showing nice caches and places. MT-Jonea from Brno city in Czechia EU. Wet logbook

Dieser Geocacher hat gemeldet, dass es ein Problem mit diesem Cache gibt.

What a wonderful park. Just the logbook needs top bei renewed. It is a little wet.

Got close to GZ and thought it was in a different spot originally. Heard two muggles coming so kept walking along which helped me see a Geotrail, so followed it and it lead me to the cache. Nice and dry log

Found - log book a bit wet.

At GZ it was a quick find and the log is completely signable. Not regular but small. TFTC

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

Could the cache owner please replace the logbook and clean/dry out the inside of the container

Could the cache owner please replace the logbook and clean/dry out the inside of the container

I had to empty a pool of water from the container. The logbook was too wet for me to be able to write on it, so I’ll instead send a photo of the cache to the owner as evidence I found it. Apart from that, this is a pretty good spot for a hide, TFTC

After DNFing oh my Reid I came to ferndale. I saw a very large cat as I was going into the reserve. The cache container seems ok but it was filled with smelly water. I etched my name in the sodden logbook but this one needs some love. It’s a cool spot and very worthy of a cache. I can’t for the life of me get the stink off my hands… wet wipes x2 and nothing. I’m gonna need a shower TFTC!

After a nice lunch in Chatswood, I decided to pick up some of the traditionals in the area.
This was a nice, short walk into a pocket of bushland. Amongst the mossy rocks the hiding location was quickly spotted. Despite being shielded from the elements, the cache container had a lot of water and also the ziplog containing the logsheet was full of water.
As adding my name was not possible, a photo log instead.
TFTC Ozjeeper.

There is a snake here do not look here ever again

Nice easy find. Cache is wet but log is ok. TFTC

Amazing walk to this find!

Another beautiful afternnon gave us the opportunity for a repeat visit to enable this one after a replacement container and a new logbook had been left. The pencil that we had intended to place in the cache ended up with the guy we met on the trail who had just lost two beagles that he was supposed to be minding ........ but that's perhaps a story for another day.

We paid an afternoon visit to clean the container (see the previous log) and were dissapointed to find that the contaier has been stolen. Disabling this one until a new container can be installed.

A pleasant morning stroll through Ferndale and a quick and easy find. Log is reasonably dry but container has some water in it. TFTC

Beautiful walk. Found fairly easily.

TFTC!

Oooh love this walk! Such a nice day for it. Found with Amy, tftc!

Tftc

Great spot. Relatively easy find that the kids found by themselves. Tftc!

Wow, this one hasn't been found in a while. Quick and easy diversion off the path, not too difficult to see GZ. Loved the walk. TFTC

A lovely walk through the bush. Cache was a relatively easy find. Thanks for bringing us here!

Visiting a friend I spot yt? Ed this one and thought it'd be a quick grab but wasn't dressed for a bush bash so took the path. Hint led me to the right spot! TFTC. Yet another lovely spot I have passed many times.

A pleasant walk through a glorious green ferny patch of bush to GZ. A quick find, exactly where the hint said it should be.

TFTC bush bash coz i came down the wrong road . No TB

A lovely walk down and along the river for a quick find.

TFTC.

Beautiful stroll along the creek and soon had cih. Thanks for the afternoon out! Tftc

Park entry near number 8 Carr St is a good place to start. TFTC.

Found in company with Poppy John. SL swapped toys. TFTC

Found in company with my grand daughter. SL swapped toys. TFTC

Well that was a nice surprise. What a gem Ferndale Park is; although I didn't see all the flora and fauna mentioned in the description I did hear lots of bird calls. I entered the park from the end of Ferndale Street and walked the trails around to gz. It wasn't until I got back to the car that I saw how many trails there were through the park,must come back for a wander another time. With the generous hint the cache was quickly found. TFTC and the background of Ferndale Park.

Great cache. Ty

Went there looking for the trackable but it wasn't there

TFTC

In Sydney from Florida for week #2 of a 6-week ANZ trip. Out picking up a few caches while the hubby works. Love the many birds & their calls. Still yet to identify all of them. Much of the flora is similar to ours at home except for the tree that sheds its bark to show a beautiful off-white bark.

Finally wound my way through the park to the gz. Didn’t walk far enough & had 1 attempt then walked on and went straight to the cache.

Great walk through the park. The huge stand of bamboo near the end of the trail was amazing! Needed some green time after spending 2 weeks in Perth & Sydney/ChatswoodCBD’s.

A nice walk through the forest.
After passing a couple of muggles along the path i made it to the GZ.
Due to an error i made when entering the coords into my GPSr i spent 10 mins searching a site about 20m from the real GZ before checking what had gone wrong.
The error fixed i got to the right spot and noticed the caches hiding spot pretty quick.
I ended up leaving the TB currently in the cache for the next person.
Thanks.

One of my favourite things about Geocaching is being introduced to small pockets of urban bushland that I never knew existed and possibly would have never had the opportunity to visit. I've driven past this area so many times and never knew what was there. Today littlest Geoson were driving past the area, and with a mission to drop off a TB that's been caching with us a visit Ferndale Park fitted in nicely. We both enjoyed the walk through and carried on exploring the tracks once we made a quick find at GZ. SL, dropped Travel Slug off, TFTC and thank you for bringing us to this area Ozjeeper.

Found this cache on a beautiful sunny morning.
What a nice area. Well done CO

All the spiders in town, come on get groovy down.

Wandering with friends and decides to pick up a few caches. Tftc!

Stopped by after work today and stretched my legs.

Cheers

This was such a fun cache to find! Thanks for leading me to this reserve. I would never have guessed there was such a big patch of nature in suburban Sydney.

TFTC from the Kayakviking!
Avoided the muggle dogs for a quick number 10 for the day.

Found and it is rainy. Very still and beautiful area even in the rain. T&B

Late afternoon find...daylight savings made this so much easier after work. TFTC

greetings from Slovakia!

Wow! I had no idea that this beautiful bush was so close to such a busy suburban area. Thoroughly enjoyed the walk and the cache. TFTC!

A lovely walk on a hot afternoon in the shady fern-filled gully. TFTC ozjeeper

A nice meandering path past a bridge and creek led me to GZ. iPhone bounced a little bit hint helped. TFTC.

This was the thirdof my afternoon, after work, caching expedition. I did the infamous 'Lane Cove' this morning before work, now just some good old regular trads on the fringe of suburbia. This one was in an amazinf little rainforest gully, Sydney seems so lush and green for this Canberra cacher who is used to really dry, dead, bushland, but this one was by far the most rainforesty.... I need to do more caching in sydney! Though the log was a little damp, but I suspect that is because everything in here is a little damp

What a lovely little bush walk with a neat hide at the end.
Log was somewhat damp.
Tftc.

Found quite easily, great to see larger sized geocaches and in such a nice location TFTC

Found it - TFTC

After a few wrong turns and bushbashing we finally found and conquered our Moby Dick! TFTC

Awesome oasis

Wow - this is a truly beautiful piece of bush in the middle of suburbia. It's so nice to see clear running water and zero rubbish. The local residents and bush care group are doing a wonderful job. Spotted the likely spot on approach and soon had my name in the log. Thanks for bringing me here.

TFTC!

Beautiful walk!! Thank you

We couldn't find the right path to this one and we were low on time. We seemed to be running around like we were in a maze. We got within 50m but still couldn't find a track to the cache

Oh well thanks anyway for bringing us to this beautiful location

I approached this one from the west and initially I wasn't all that impressed with the walk alongside the golf course. Once I made it into the actual gully area however I changed my tune. It really is quite beautiful, especially in the fading light. I even saw an echidna. The cache itself was easy enough to find. Thanks

I had a most disproportionate amount of difficulty finding this cache. It was not due to the cache itself - which is awesome - but to the fact that I have no sense of direction and got hopelessly lost in a maze of paths which all seemed to go the wrong way. Alice in Wonderland with a touch of Escher. My second attempt. I suck at geocaching but I finally got there! Thankyou ozjeeper!

Beautiful creek!
we just moved to the area and a spot of caching is a perfect way to explore the new surroundings. TFTC

Tftc!

What a spectacular GC hide thank you Found with Marco and Gracie077

Bit of a soggy walk but found it. TFTC

The track was very wet and after following few wrong tracks found the cache. TFTC

What a pretty walking track, great exercise.
TFTC

Good trek through the bush, a bit tricky when raining TFTC

Interesting but wet walk. TFTC

A good walk on a bush track, but very wet. TFTC

Found it. Great walk through here!

Nice walk into this secret valley. Not many places you can actually walk up a streambed without getting wet.

What a wonderful walk along the creek. It was gorgeous with the sunlight peaking through the trees. So peaceful too. Thanks for the cache. I left a fridge magnet in the shape of a turtle with Hawaiian design (straight from Hawaii.)

Yeay Found it
With my sister and niece, on my holiday in Sydney.
A nice walak through there. TFTC

There's lots of very pretty paths in this reserve..... We know because my iPhone send me along every one of them before we found the right approach to GZ ha ha ha !!!

Anyway once we got there we made a quick find.

This really is one of the prettiest woodland walks we've been on

Tftc

I love caches like this and are giving it a favourite. Really nice walk through the bush to it. It was a quick find and didn't see any trackables in it. Tftc tnln

My iphone GPS was insanely accurate, made for an easier hide than expected. Tftc and the bushwalk!

Tftc

Picked up trackable

Parked up on Eddy Rd and followed the trail behind the houses. Amazing walk with a lot of care from bushcare volunteers in a pristine part of Chatswood. Such a wonderful part of Sydney, hidden away.
Thanks ozjeeper for showing me the area

TFTC!!!

What a beautiful and peaceful piece of land! I took the change to explore a little more the surrounds! The sound of the water running along the path is amazing.
ozjeeper, thanks for bringing me here! Retrieved TB 'Capt. Pirate Faceman' and left TB 'FarmtagZ'. No more TBs in place.

Such a beautiful place, was astonished to find that something so forest-y and serene was just next to Chatswood city. I regret not bringing my camera with me today but perhaps sometimes its best not to have the distraction of it. I walked very slowly, taking in all the nice sounds and smells and sights, with my spider repelling stick whooshing about in front of me. All up, only one jogger passed by, but apart from that I was basically the only one here this fine afternoon. I was extremely worried I would miss this cache as I don't have GPS. I wasn't sure if I had walked too far or too little, so i ended up scrambling about to places I thought it might be. I was pretty much just guessing, using my cache intuition! In the end, I found it, which was actually a huge surprise...I was sure I'd fail. Dropped in the Pirate dogtag TB. Please take good care of it, it's come a long way!
Thanks for bringing me here, Ozjeeper!

Lowest level indeed good rummage!

Great urban cache. I highly recommend coming in from 'Upstanding Citizens' and finding the rail to river trail. Bird's galore and a beautiful walk along the creek. Cheers!
