TFTC. A nice quick find and not too scary in the bush. So I found it so I can log it. I’m visiting from the Hunter Valley.
Nice location and easy find, though got a bit exercise tracking in the bush. Thank you
A short walk towards the bush from the path and a quick find thanks to the hint - initially thought the search was gonna be daunting, but spotted it in the second place I checked, lucky me!
I too initially thought the logsheet was full, but on closer inspection there are a LOT of blank sheets - just in the middle, because there are signatures on both ends of the cover on both sides of the pages

Finally it stopped raining and I risked slippin' n slidin' on the undergrowth to find Jasper's Cousin. I must have been inspired by the Winter Olympics I'd been watching for hours while it was too soggy to venture outside. Thoroughly worth the wait and found GZ without any trouble. All was well with Jasper's Cousin even though it looked as if he hadn't been logged for a while. Thank you Smurfyguy.
Oh and by the way future searchers, take your own pen.

Cache check completed. This one is right where it should be ready for the next finder.
Found the broken container in the pic from Tillythesaucepan and removed it.

Will check this one out, but the image is not of the container that was there. Possibly you have just missed finding it.

Out to do some bushwalking and geocaching. Geodad was checking how far he was from the cache when he found himself standing at GZ. TFTC!

TFTC. Found Jasper easily today after a short walk. Best parking is not safe at bottom of dip. Park off road near the sign.
Took a small detour after work and found it easily. The log is becoming full. Thanx
Haven’t found any caches in a while so I wanted to pick one up today. This one is close to home but never have had the chance to find it so today we drove over. Parked the car at the T and walked through the damp scrub. After a couple minutes we found the cache thanks to the hint. Signed log and returned. All is well. Thanks for the cache and merry Christmas. I need to finish my memory lane I’ve been slacking this year...

Passing close to this one so stopped in for a quick grab.
The cache didn't make sense to me until we parked up - that's cute.

Good little hide!
Good little hide!
The weather today has been amazing! Took full advantage of it by going out geocaching with BarberBlackSheep. Parked close to GZ, made our way through the sticks and soon had the CIH, loved the size of it!
8/9 today TFTC

To help stop the spread of Covid-19, The Australian and NSW Governments requires everybody to stay at home unless you are: shopping for essentials, receiving medical care, exercising or travelling to work or education.
While some people would regard going geocaching as a form of exercise, it is my personal opinion that this activity is a non-essential one, perhaps involving unnecessary travel and therefore should not be undertaken during this time of crisis.
Who knows how long this pandemic will last! Right now, every one of us has an important part to play in helping to keep our families, friends and the wider community safe in the fight against the spread of Covid-19 by staying home.
As a result of the health authority’s directive, I have decided to disable all my caches and respectfully request that no person seek out and claim a find on any of my hides whilst the caches are disabled.
Thank you for your cooperation. I look forward to bringing my caches back into play as soon as the health crisis abates.

Had us going in circles as iPhone was playing silly buggers, a lot of hiding spots think we hit them all. Finally GPS played good

Out caching on a beautiful spring day, I made this one harder than it needed to be by approaching from the wrong direction. Once I managed to get to GZ I made a quick find.
Scored quite a few 10c containers on my way back to the car!

GPS a little jumpy, but used a little bit of geo sense and wasn't long before CIH TFTC
Such an awesome find!! Hidden well but coverage gives it away. Secure and dry cache canister!
This is a nice little reserve .
Good sized container as well.
Many thanks to smurfyguy.

Very cool hiding spot, read the hint, spend a little time as gps may be off.
Take a trinket to leave, good sized cache.

Parked the car and then walked through the bush. Once at GZ the cache was found quickly and easily after a short search. The log book was signed and then the cache was replaced as found. Thank you Smurfyguy for placing this cache.
Tftc. Found just after sunset with phone torch. Just what you do when Casper is about. Luckily for me the bush was quite with only neighbor dog barking. Hint not too obvious in dark but after stumbling around for a few minutes I found the log to sign. Great cache all good with plenty of loot inside nice and dry. Returned as found
Sorry for the delayed log.
Found in afternoon just before it stormed. I managed to find after I thought Co-ords were out and kept wandering in circles until I came back and realised a suspicious pile of camo was hiding the cache.
Co-ords aren't out just my cache senses.
Very nice container.
Log good condition.
Put in a decent McDonald's toy for a butterfly rubber.
Re camo .. and off I went.

Great fun, great hide and a great cache. Left something which might bug the next finder. Tftc!
Loved this spot! A good hint We are on the last page of the log book so may need a replacement soon! Loved the organisation with a pencil and sharper ready to use

After an excellent swim at Galston Aquatic Center and a high tea at Baviano, it was time to go back to Castle Hill, but not without stopping for some of the many caches I still have to find in the area.
I left my GPS at home, so I had to rely on my phone's geocaching app. That proved to be quite challenging in the little pocket of bushland. I searched many rocks, until at one point I looked a bit further away. And there is was...and I still wonder how I missed such an obvious hiding place in the first instance.

I had been wondering about the name of this cache for quite some time. As we pulled up nearby I saw the reason for the name and I had to smile. Now it was all clear.
I had my little son with me so we had to pick a careful path towards GZ -- some of the obstacles I can easily step over he has to climb over.
It didn't take long to get to GZ and I immediately espied the container. That's probably more due to the fact that there was no camo covering it; only the camo paint job was helping to conceal it. We made the grab and while I signed the log my little son rummaged through the contents. He was quite taken with the red fidget spinner, but he knows the rules about swapping something or just signing the log and not taking anything. He was actually ok with that, though at one point he was almost willing to put his toy Towmater towtruck into the cache in return for the spinner.
I left one of my signature small wire dogs which he insisted on placing in the container. Then we packed everything away and replaced the cache where we had found it, just a bit deeper in. We also added a little bit of natural camo to conceal it a bit better so as to minimise the chances of being muggled.

Stopped off on my way back home from the Amateur Radio NSW (HAM Radio) bi-monthly Trash & Treasure sale at Quarry Road Dural, to find this one. It had been a fun filled morning of HAM radio junk scrounging, and a nice BBQ lunch with lots of friendly chit chat, but now it was time to collect some more caches on the homeward journey. This was the 3rd of 15 finds, and 1 DNF, for the day.
Pulled up on the side of Denham Road, then headed into the scrub and over to GZ for a look. Quickly uncovered the hide and had CIH. TNLNSL, and then replaced the nice solid caching container as I had found it. TFTC Smurfyguy.

A short walk into the bush and cache was quickly located. Nice size. All OK here. Thanks Smurfyguy
Beautiful day, thought I’d do a spot of geocaching on my way home from work.
Nice hide! Found after a few minutes looking signed log and now I’m on my way looking for more! TFTC

Second day out caching with Team GoldJ from Tassie we are hoping to bag a few for the day in the area today. It is really windy. But nice driving around in the car. Tftc
#1288 after finding Up the Hill from HQ then kept on walking to this cache. It took quite some time to locate the cache went for a nice walk around the area with the GPSr saying 15 metres away but always kept me circling. Stood still for a while and let it settle then headed to where it pointed but coming sfrom a different direction spotted the cache, phew. Signed the log and replaced as found. Both the cache and log are in good condition. Thanks for the cache Smurfyguy

Wanting a find for today's date I decided to head out to the Hills District. I come out here a couple of times each week but this week my activities were cancelled so I felt deprived of the trip and came here for caching instead today.
This was my third stop although the other two were only brief stops to collect information for multi caches. This was my first cache hunting stop.
I knew I had reached the correct location when I saw the name of the reserve. I parked the geomobile with several others at the top of the hill. I couldn't see any muggles but a small brown and white one across the road barked "come and look at me." Sorry not today buddy!
I walked down the street a little and headed directly into the bush towards GZ. Once there the cache hide was easily spotted. I signed the logbook and visited some TBs, then I noticed a narrow track heading directly back to where I had left the geomobile. I followed that, easy going.
I waved goodbye to the lonely looking canine muggle and headed off for another cache.

Co-ordinates had us a bit muddled but eventually found it and dropped a trackable
Trudged through the wet reserve with MrSmith00 to find this cache.
A nice large cache which gave me a chance to drop off a trackable.

Tftc, headed up this way to dona caching day with Azzepious but the rain got the better of us. Found this one easy enough before the rain drove us off.
Needed to find at least one cache today to keep the current streak, but it ended up in a few more
This was found after just a short walk along a small track in an obvious locations. Nice to see bigger caches in comparison to all the micro caches in this area.

Dropped geoTeen off to sit his trial HSC and decided to find some caches before picking him up. This was my 5th cache on the way to a C62 multi. Followed a trail and quickly had nice big CIH. Anyone for golf? SL and returned as found. TFTC
