Well we have decided to archive this one.
Lets just hope that they dont totaly archive the area that this cache was posted to represent.

Sorry to those who have been wanting to attend this one since its removal.

Happy caching and hope to see all at Oz Mege 2012


Team Casho

Urban expansion is on the move, and a section now has been cleared along the nature strip in preparation of laying of pipes and other services. So upon checking on the cache it was clearly visible and its future in the current position was not looking good. I picked it up and must report that there was only one of the listed 3 trackables in the cache. How time fly’s when you cache as I was the FTF on the 11-05-09. Those 2 years have gone way too fast. Thanks Team Casho will organize its return to you.

Temporarily disabled until either a new location can be found or is archived.
Thanks to the team that contacted us and offered to pick up for us.

Would definetley try and save this one asap. Bushland near cache is starting to be dug up!!!!

Quick easy find for this one. There seems to be some surveying going on as there is lots of spraypaint on the ground and fence posts.
Not sure how long cache will be in a safe location. Perhaps there's going to be some turning lanes for Oran Park put in??

TFTC. SL.

Note to self: "Well-worn tracks" can overgrow quite quickly. "I'll come back to the car for the swaps and a pen" is a really, really stupid idea. So is "I'll just leave the cache here while I go back to the car for swaps and a pen - I'll remember where it is."
Took a little car and left Snoopy the TB (that I had for far too long only because every cache I found there for a while was a micro or nano, and try as I might, I couldn't shove Snoopy in one) and a wee badge. SL TFTC!

TYFC. Took TB

Found with TeamBooo thanks

Droppe off TB - Camano Joey. He'll be right at home here for a while. TFTC

Wow! good hiding spot found by jnr cacher 8

found with Teambooo
good find for a little Princess
[:o)]

Quick stop besides The Northern Road and thought to myself this may be harder than first imagined, a little bit of bush but quite dense. However, many finds to this cache has made a distinctive track to the cache hide. Anyways, a neat cache with plenty of room for more items. Huge shame about the raceway gone, been there many times for the V8's and once catching some drivers having private practice. Took nothing, left mole little creature. TFTC

After Oran Park town this one was a sure thing, as it was just down the road. team Soupbones Geokid Larissa had her own GPS and wanted to have her own go at this one. Rebeccavoy who we met at the last cache as well showed up and the hunt was on. Rebecca found this one easily with us still double checking our GZ readings. Credits to Rebeccavoy.
signed log book. No trackables as stated before, though the cache site says there are 3 in here. signed log book only this time.

TFTC! Yes sad to see Oran Park gone, I have some great memories of the Holden Vs Ford days there..

Nice and Easy Thanks

After heading down from Oran Park Town, this was a nice stop over cache between here and home. Turned the corner to find Team Soupbones searching also - our second run in of the day. It sure was nice to have someone to hunt with!

Lovely find, thanks!

it certainly has been a while since I did a Team Cacho cache. Loved the container on this one. Hope you guys doing well and see you soon?

Pretty easy find on our way south for the weekend, as an obvious track is developing going straight to the cache. Couldn't see any pens or pencils in the container, so I left my pen for future finders to use. Apologies for the late logging, I have been without internet access for a few days.

Qucik stop on our way south from Bents Basin on Australia Day.

TFTC! Loggin alot today, so sorry theres no spcific message about the cache, but I really do enjoy every cache I find

"Ohh no" i thought... waist high grass and thousands of stickbeak plants... do i really want to do this.
Of course i do
LOL
Geomutt bounded over the tall grasses like a jack rabbit while i tried to pick a lesser of two evils path hoping i didnt come across anything slithery.
Found the cache with no dramas and when back at the geomobile began to pick off all the stickybeaks attached to my shirt and jeans. I must have looked fairly peculiar to the passing motorists.
TFTC

Just wanted to let you know
that i didnt find any of these trackables listed as being in this cache.

Found this one on our way to Cobbity

Thanks for the hunt

Took Geonieces for the day while they were visiting gran,

left Travel bus.

Found this one during our day of caching in the Narellan area. TFTC.

Found today with Davieson, Rindy9 and GeoJackCo in the cooler part of the afternoon. Nice hide! TFTC

Forgot we had put this one in the GPS, nice to find an extra! TFTC!

Third find for the day. Parked off main road and walked along the fence line. GeoBlonde's first find! (Good work GG!) Took Racing Car. Left Dinosaur and a dollar in small change. TFTC.

Parked safely on the side of the road and as I headed bush a passer-by tooted me, so presumably a cacher. Always nice to find an ammo box amongst an increasing number of nanos these days. Thanks TEAM CASHO.

TFTC!!!

Sent from my mobile device.

oh, a real "regular box" TFTC!
in: GC "Proving Trail"

Once again local Rugby League finals got boring so went Geoching till main game started.Found cache easy but forgot to bring pen.Back to car and do the trek all over again Keeps you fit. Gotcha16

Found on route to Camden. Never had the chance to experience these races myself, so the caching will have to suffice
Grabbed geocoin left cards, like Kim said all the other trackables aren't there...

Return visit to Go Racing to see the sad sight of the empty shell of one of my favourite car racing tracks.

Dropped off brand new Team Rod & Tod w/Kaboom 2009 Geocoin to commence it's journey across the globe.

Retrieved the Saudi Arabia Geocoin.

There is no pen in the GC and ours had stopped working so our visit wasn't logged in the book.

Numerous trackables are listed as being in the GC but are absent. I will endeavour to list them as missing.

Memories of fun times had by many a family here ! Nice little cache left geocoin & took Geocoin.

Stopped by to drop off a Micro Australian Flag Geocoin that I forgot I had. Need to get it moving

This is now a sad place to visit as we always headed out here for The Super Truck Racing -http://www.truckracing.com.au/index.html Have you ever seen a Prime mover doing a burnout? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sm4SM1pk5VI
Oh those long hot days, the smell, the noise even the taste in your mouth (ok so this was mostly dust).
This area will always be special to my family and thanks for bringing us back here one more time.
JABs.

Nice easy cache. Thanks for bringing me here. Shame the track is now a place to live. Im glad i went to the last v8 race where whincup in a FORD won the championship! Many memories here. TNLN.

Easy find. TFTC

This was our first of eighteen finds today (our best day so far) and my 200th Traditional Cache. NickoHeap spotted it quickly. There was at least one TB in he cache because we took it. Thanks.

A fairly quick find- amazing how this poor old raceway has been transformed over the years. TFTC

Nice easy find on our way home - dropped off TB
Like last post, other TBs aren't in the container.

TFTC

TFTC, easy to spot. Didn't see any trackables in cache though. Our 7th find

This cache was the one in lots of ways ! our 2000th cache , whoo hoo, the last cache as the batteries died within a minute of finding the cache ! thanx heaps for the cache as this area has many fine memories !

Tftc

Found and logged at 14:30 on my way to Bents Basin for the long weekend
TNLN TFTC

found it, thanks

Found it with J Top
TNLNSL, Pelusa

Sorry about the late log took the racing tavel bug and nothing else
Great find thanks

tftc sl took tb 8 ball left tb bali thong

I see that this area is about to become more built up, with land sales going on at the moment.
The cache involved a lot of long, long grass, and me stepping carefully where Mr Bunny had stepped before, but we got there.

cool container got cache and was about to leave then noticed a group of massive spiders and we all took off running eww!!

I lived in Narellan way back when I was a University Student, and Harrington Park was simply a paddock full of cows, Mt Annan was a paddock full of horses and the botanic garden was just seedlings collected and planted by one of my numerous cousins, Camden was a pleasant little country town, Narellan had about 5 small shops and there was regular racing at Oran Park. My how things change! I loved the park, what a shame. Thanks for the cache TEAM CASHO

Left: Eight Ball TB

Rated: for Overall Experience

Came from Cobbity Rd and approached the cache from the wrong side of the road, so another 4 km's later parked within metres of the GZ. Quick easy find. Initially took the wrong turn going down Cobbity Road, so had a last glimpse of the raceway before it turns to housing. Quite a shame really. TFTC, left behind a googly eyed dragonfly sticky

nice and easy find on the way home from work
TFTC TNLN

I found it took me a little while and i met alot of large spiders on the way XD

Nice big cache with plenty of goodies. TNLN

If you are there early in the morning, look out for the large spiders hanging in the low branches as you go from the roadside to the cache.

Tks ...... Team Casho ........ GazMag

Easy find on the way home from a Blue Mountains long weekend. Easy find. Watch out for the nest just above the cache, a couple of very nervous baby birds got a little worried about me. Thanks.

Was a nice weather this morning (now its raining!!)
great way to remember... TFTC

BTW... no TB's at all!!! hope they didn't go missing

Found @ 920 on my way to work truck decided to catch fire on the path to work so I thought caching would be good. Tftc took coin

Leaving Sydney just before lunch and going down the Great Northern and getting a few smiley faces along the way this was the first for the day.

Found this guy at 11.45 after wandering through some very tall grass but followed a trail back to the geomobile.

I am pleased to see that more cachers are using ammo containers as they are great in the bush and will stand up to a lot on wear and tear and keeps the goodies dry. Thanks Team Casho.

Found on the way to Wollongong for work.
It is always dissapointing when there is an inventory logged but nothing in the cache.
Left Cachemover anyway, hope it goes the right way and is not stolen.

Found fairly easy - agree re track.

Good cache. Had a few fights with spider webs (bloody things). Cache was well hidden. Signed log and left the Ford V8 Supercar TB to continue its journey around the race tracks of Australia. Took 4 of spades card. TFTC.

Shame to lose this historic track. Although the trucks around here were trying to go fast enough to bring back the memories!?!

TNLNSL. TFTC.

Found pretty quickly (thanks for the tip sgt.rios88) Left Dominos. TN. TFTC.

Will be sad to see the track go, but when you look around the back from Cobbitty Road, you see the estates increasing....left sunglass case, frisbee and some ice bags. Cache contents OK...Didn't notice the CITO coin. Thanks Team Casho

Raining but an easy find. No geocoin in the cache. TNLN, Thanks

we were in the area and decided that this was the cache to stop for. it was a good hide and seen as how the phone gps was playing up im glad i remembered the hint lol

i followedthe trails where ppl have walked

visited this cache before as newby with nodo, weren't sure that we had put our name in the book so revisited to check.

Found it. TFTC and cheers from Germany!

Found on the way to work, Took TB's

Found today on a geobreak from work. TFTC. TNLN. iPhone was spot on the mark. 2 TB still present. I left them there tonight. Found at 1900.

10:11am
Have done some offroad rallying here in a damn fast toyota on the dirt bike track, that was such a rush. Not as much of the rush you get finding an ammo box!!

No coin within, left 2 TB's.

Cheers

A quick one on the way out to dinner. Geo Kids did the usual swaps for minor contents and took travel bug as it was our first joint TB. Will spend this weekend deciding where to place it. TFTC

I used to race Go-Karts here as a teenager. Great Fun... It's a shame that the track is closing soon. TFTC.

After doing some work at nearby Narellan, stopped off to grab this one on the way home between passing showers. A nice quick find during a dry break. Grabbed a geocoin and left a TB. Thanks Team Casho.

Popped by while working at nearby Smeaton Grange. And thanks for bringing me to Oran Park. I drove up to the track to have a look and was lucky to spot 4 old-fashioned type race cars (you know, the kind that look like bullet with big wheels) speeding around the track. Great! Was in office dress so had to make sure that no stickers or grass or spider webs were still on me when I got back to the office - too hard to explain!! TN Left a little pumpkin SL TFTC Cheers..........Gaztek

11:50am. Great container! There was something on at Oran Pk today as I saw alot of hotted up cars there.
Took Movers Truck and left Geowoodstock Coin and Thimblette.
TFTC

Find 6/6 today. Took Geocoin and left LG's Cache Movers Truck Geocoin.

Dropped off GC Lost and Tired. See where it goes from here Simo.
Picked up TB Turtle.
TFTC.

Dropping in and removing a TB

We like to get a variety of Caches on each of our trips and this one was one of our Caches in Australia. Thanks. We 'Found' about 60 Caches that we Logged on our almost 2 week trip to New Zealand and Australia. We picked some of the more interesting and demanding Caches including Puzzles and Letterbox Hybrids plus 12 Earthcaches and enjoyed every cache that we tried.

A quick and easy Find on our way from Canberra to Katoomba. A fair number of pretty 'hot' motorcycles were leaving the are whwn we arrived.

TFTC!

Thanks to all the Cachers that set the Caches that we found (And didn't 'Find'!!).

Cache On and CITO as you Cache,

ORNITH travelling with Queens Blessing (Wife) from Canby, Oregon, USA -- very near the home of the very 1st Cache ever set that is commemorated by GCGV0P and within 25 miles of 3 of the 4 Oldest Surviving Caches in the World (GC12, GC16 & GC17)!

ORNITH and I enjoyed a great vacation together, traveling to New Zealand and Australia for fifteen days, and what a great time we had! As we normally do, we chose interesting caches and quite a few that involved hiking (aka "bushwacking" or "tramping") , rather than racking up a high number of caches. We found the oldest cache in Australia and the first Earthcache ever set! I was visited by a leach and we were both attacked by some black and white crows. We enjoyed rain, sunshine, empty roads, traffic jams, vegemite and meat pies. Our fancy lime-green rental car attracted quite a bit of attention, including a stop by a police officer who mistook ORNITH for another type of person........Oh, so many fun memories!

Guess we might have taken the wrong approach to the cache, but we did find it. Noticed a lot of motorcycle traffic leaving the area, and they all seemed hyped-up, reving and hot-rodding. As we left, we noticed one of them had run out of gas just down the road! Oops! We also saw a law enforcement vehicle heading over to assist.

Thanks for the adventure,

Left signature items.

An early morning find, quite easy really. A nice tribute to your forefathers and their achievements. TNLNSL TFTC

A little birdy showed me where the cache was., there is a top notch pigeon(will check my bird book later to confirm) nesting right above the cache.

Found It,
Took TB, Left bracelet
TFTC

Woooooww!! my very first! Geocach!
It was amazingly good fun!! i was using the software for the iPhone! and it was perfectly accurate!!
Amazing!! job at placing a Cache! especially the disused Ammo! container! for the Cache! I had a great! time! and can't wait to find my next!
Kudo's!! on the amazing! JOB!
Good! luck! to all who find it next! i hope you have as much fun as i did!
** i left a few novelty playing card's and a few corney one's signed by me and my girlfriend! Also! we decided to take a little green army man.

Nice one, except for the Huntsman that was guarding the cache ! Took Nothing, Left Life Saver Face Shield Key Ring.

Had to drop in and grab this on the way from Campbelltown to Penrith council. Easy find, nice big cache, but some nasty scratchy plants left my hand bleeding and I didn't even realise it until I got back to the car!

Found at 12.50
Easy find on our way to Penrith
Took Tiger
Left Koala

We were in the area so called in to do a cache check.
Well to our surprise after reading the logs thinking everything was going well we found the cache empty. It does not appear to have been muggled as it was still tucked away in its hiding place and there has been no reports by anyone, So for now untill I get items to restock, it will have to remain empty with only its log book and pen unless one of the next cachers wants to take them as well.
To all future finders (once I get a chance to restock) please play it right and if you take something please replace with something of equal value and condition otherwise I might have to do as others and only hide micro size ones and not these larger ones.
We will advise when restocked for the kids to enjoy again but may not be for about 3-4 weeks otherwise please come and enjoy the find but you will only be able to sign the log for now.

Team Casho

PS the CITO coin is missing so now the fun task of contacting 25 cachers (visited since placed in cache) to try and locate it for the owners

good hide
