Alas the cache is gone. However, I'm in the process of moving and would have archived the cache within the next month anyway.

It's been a lot of fun, tx to all who played along!

Bye,
ZAUKAU

Bye, bye Padstow....

DNF I think it has been taken..

Back today for another attempt at this one. My first attempt months ago was foiled by nearby workers. Today however in its new spot it was very easy.
Thanks

WanderingAus wandered by on day 110 of our annual Climatic Refugee trip, and made a very quick and easy GAFF 0 find.

My find No 2997, TNLNSL.

This is the new home for Padstow Pittstop. There are extensive road works and other pavement alterations which have necessitated moving the cache location. EXTREME stealth is required to retrieve cache.

Pulled up on a quietish Saturday afternoon and hunted around without success. Hmmm, back to the car to look at the logs to see if they were any help when Anna spotted it somewhere she was sure she had looked and felt before. Oh well, got there in the end.

The local businesses must be hurting a bit from the road being closed! Thanks zaukau.

Running early for a meeting in Padstow so just enough time for a quick cache. It all worked out very nicely, as my phone rang as I arrived at GZ, allowing me to do the old 'on the phone, not looking suspicious' routine. A quick find, signed the log and resolved the issue from the phone call at the same time!
TNLNSL, thanks for the cache,
best wishes,
Wal

No muggles about to worry me finding this one as it was some time around 2am.
Found it quickly and signed the log.

Visiting from W.A. and took Nana Skull (74 y.o.) for the ride and she found it before we turned on the GPS. Go Granny Power.TFTC S.L.

First cache for the Norri clan

Only recently discovered Geocaching. Passed this GZ over 100 times in the last few years. Had to have a chuckle once we found it. TFTC.

Found this whist visiting our grandparents

yay - fairly straight forward

A pretty quick find, as there weren't too many places it could be hiding. Cheers Gav [4966]

Find No.1 for tonight

Quick and easy find by Cache's Angels!! TFTH! SL

it's still here allright! ....hehehe really cool cache. TFTC!

I've picked it up on the way home from work. I must say, i;ve had a smile on my face from the moment my GPS indicated the Ground Zero... i mean where in hell.. ..Have fun caching this one, i did! TFTC

Team BARNAHBEE... Our first day of GeoCacheing & it's our 5th search but no find..
Had a really good look around, Council is digging up the road and gutter.. so not sure if its been removed...

The cache is still there... where it should be.

Collected the TB left for me... Cheers Zaukau.

There is currently a blank TB that has been left in the cache for me as a present from Zaukau. Please leave it there for the time being

528 - 3 for today. Found on 24/01/2010 at 12:58 PM.
Parked in front of GZ in the parking area, no one around. A quick find, signed log in car, replaced cache. TNSLLN

Clever Co-ords were spot on, and yes alot of people around. Got in before peak hour though.

TFTC

A quick park and find.....and yes it was at the posted coords....
Maybe some stronger form of attachments would be better, though they are 'rare'
Thanks for the find.

Very clever place for a cache! Thanks!
Left O Canada travel bug. Its come from Tassie so hopefully it will keep going, lucky thing!

Fun find on the way to pick up dinner. Nice to have more caches in the local area.

Why oh why???? Muggles must be absolutely blind. I spotted this driving in the car from about 50 m away. Cute log book.

Wow, how quick was this drive-by?. Also surprised it is still here as per the other comments.
A lttle rust developing so a gave it a quick wipe in case if falls off.
TFTC

Well its all been said! Actually surprised this one has lasted this long, very exposed! Found, Signed, Sealed, Replaced.

XC heading to the airport to fly home.. a quick stop here before 7:00am made this an easy pickup...
Signed log and replaced..
TFTC #1071

Hmm, saw this pop up a few weeks ago & though "why there instead of the nice big park down the road"
Made the find sans GPS on the way to Parramatta & spotted the cache from about 30m away.
Left thinking the same as I did the day it was published. Like the Hancocks said.... definately one for the numbers.

Cheers

A nice quick stop on the way to dinner tonight. TFTC!

Found it in the dark as I took the dog for an evening walk. Didn't bring a pen with me so no signing of the logbook but still a nice quick find. Thanks for the local cache!

Found on my way home. Padstow was very quite and spied the cache from my parking position. TNLN thanks.

When we got the notification email for this one we looked on google maps streetview to it's whereabouts, which was a good job as we hadn't uploaded a recent enough pocket query to the garmin oregon. Anyway, our memory served us right and the cache was found easily. Similar to what others have said, we think we're spoilt by caches being placed in areas with good views and/or of special interest so it did occur to us why place one here. An easy one for numbers though.
Cheers,
The Hancock Clan

Found this one between jobs today, had to negotiate putting the cache back whilst the nearby bus driver was not watching.
Still not sure what the fascination with this spot is though.

6pm. I'm always up for a challenge, so what better time to arrive. However there was no one around except a few kids and parents going into the swimming centre. I opened the mailbox to deflect attention from my nefarious activities and a couple of letters fell out. I made as if they were mine and posted them at the posted co-ordinates while leaning over to replace the cache. I suspect that the owner may be from the US because I have seen many caches like this over there with no particular reason to be placed. TFTC

trackable dip

Woo Hoo... FTF!!!

Was not too busy this afternoon. I was down the road in Bankstown when the message came up.

Short drive down the road and I was Cache in Hand...

I can see why you mentioned that 6pm would not be a good time.

TFTC and thanks for the FTF prize.

beaten by a couple of hours!
Sitting at home, and thought - I wonder if anything new is in the area and behold, there was.
A quick find in the rain.
thanks!
