Thanks for my first find! This cache was awesome! It had thickened cream and shampoo (mini brands)
Second find today with geospouse Graubunden. We turned our deaf ears to that warning sign as it was scattered on the uneven ground. Signed log. Easy find. TFTC NickoHeap
Find #: 3,551Companions: NoneMuggles: NoneWeather: Pleasant autumn afternoonCache condition: GoodI was ambling up towards the mountains and decided to visit Martin's Lookout on a whim, as the Google reviews were positive. On the way back I noticed this cache was close, and given I'm unlikely to be back in the area for a while decided to have a quick look. It didn't take long to get to GZ from the courts, or to find the container - TNLNSL TFTC
Found with Portstevo on our Easter weekend Blue Mountains adventure.I quite like these bush locations, the rock formations around are fun to photograph, tftc
Grabbed a few caches while out here for lunch. Didn’t take too long to find here. Tftc
Out here for lunch so grabbed a few caches along the way. Didn't take too long to find. Tftc

Not sure why the previous finder believes this cache should be done with two people. It was a short and easy decent to GZ and the cache was quickly found under a SPOC.

Found it! Very easy find. Walk is a bit tricky. I recommend going with at least one other person. Off the path, leaves are slippery all year round. 9/2/22
Like others have said, better to approach from the west to avoid the private property sign. TFTC
Short walk and we found it ! Just be careful going after the rain like us the rocks are pretty slippery.
Great cache !!

Found this cache with chateaupato on 19/8/21. Great little spot. Cache no longer existed, contents scattered around. I believe this has now been attended to - thank you.
As the housing encroaches on bushland, there is now a 'no trespassing sign" at the closest end of the car park. I suggest entering the bush from the west and making your way down to the replaced cache. Please ensure you cover it again once finished. Thanks
Did not find my first and nearest cache . Found a cairn nearby and four tiny toys scattered at ground zero
I’m sure I was close, didn’t see any snakes but sure that they were watching me. Might come back in cooler weather where I don’t feel so paranoid about poking around.
Easy find.

Might be a good thing for some more geocachers to do the same there is quite a bit of rubbish here.

Took my partner and puppy out for a walk today and decided to see if we could find it. We are new to this so it was our first geocache find! We were also surprised to see on the log that someone else has been here already today. Very excited to get back out there and discover some more. Thank you very much for putting in the time and effort for us to find!
Had to hunt around a bit and coords a bit off so not sure if it’s where it’s supposed to be but put it back in the same spot. Trackable taken and will place again soon. SL TFTC
Justifying a trip to the Mountains for a specific cache, planned to add several PnGs along the way now on my way home. Unfortunately, a threatening storm hit while signing the log (plus TB in/out) here and I was totally soaked during the mere 20m dash back to the car! Looks like the day’s agenda is going to be cut short but at least my initial priority had already been ticked off.
I heard from a friend it was behind a rock. Still didn’t help, but I will try again soon
Found tyftc. Magnificent view after a stormy night. Mother nature is just beautiful. Trying to beat a local geo to 1500 finds before dec 31.
Easy little park and grab. Third time lucky. The cache is in good condition, signed and replaced. Took a patch from the cache and replaced it with some nail clippers (all we had in the car). Also dropped in a TB. Thanks CO for replacing the cache.
After a DNF earlier in the year CO's mum contacted me to say that she would replace what was probably a missing cache. Noticing that the cache had been replaced I finally had time to try again. Success this time. Thanks for your diligent cache maintenance work WaywardWoman. Great to see all the young folk enjoying themselves on the tennis courts toady (school holidays).
No snakes this time but no luck either.Enlisted the help of geo brother (dogwood53) with this one, but alas we came up blank. Think that it has been muggled.
Another day out with Geobrother (Forereach). Beautiful day for a bit of bush caching but got off to a pretty disastrous start - 2 DNF and a disabled. After a thorough search and perusing the logs and photos we are convinced that this one might have gone walkabout.
As there was a large black snake lurking in the vicinity of GZ we aborted our search. Will return soon to resume our search.
There was no trouble finding this cache. The back burn had been through the area, but the cache was well protected in its hiding place and all was good with the container and its contents. The log had our name added to it and we were soon on our way again. Thanks to NickoHeap for this cache placement.

After five finds today for my calendar. Of course, got to overdo it a little... Headed up the mountains as it's one of the places I can easily get this many. Well I say easily...
Unfortunately I didn't have time for any nice bushwalks this time. Well, one really short one, but it was more a bush bash.
Made seven finds as I did the loop up the M4 and back via Hawkesbury Road.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Quick find at an almost deserted tennis court complex.
Unfortunately it seems muggles have also found it. Cache was sitting exposed outside its camo.
Apart from some mischief in the log book (which the CO may want to remove as it's not family friendly - I left it as there are logs on the other side) it was still in perfect condition.
Signed, rehid it properly, and on my way.

I was nearby at a sporting event so wandered over to check out this nearby cache. It was a bit of a scramble down but the co-ords led me right to a possible area where the hint made sense, and I then saw a likely hiding spot from a distance. Walked up and there was the hidden cache. Signed the log, replaced the cache, and took a very colourful geocoin to move along. TFTC Ace!
Having completed and saving information from Gravesend 1 two weeks ago need a multi for the GC Mission #2. When it was discovered that the GC Mission #3 needed to be a mystery this became my target.
My jaunt into Springwood ended with a trifecta in a Mystery, Multi & Traditional for the day.
This my traditional and I was happy to be moving away from the in use tennis courts for this one. Able to drop down the embankment and out of view whilst searching. Didn't take long before a find and recovery was made. Log was signed before replacing as found. tftc
This one will be claimed for GeosportZ 2016 #24

The cache has been washed out, the contents removed. A new zip lock bag for the log book and pen also, so hopefully this will alleviate the smell that was there prior. Cache on.
#814 this one wasn't much fun. Found the cache on opening there was smelly liquid in the cache. However the log book was dry. Flicked through the pages and got to the last page & after Mimchelle had signed someone else had written a note in the log book about hailing someone. I signed the cache. I didn’t have anything to dry the cache out with. Thanks for the cache NickoHeap
easy find was the first cache found when we notices geocaching [geocaching is the BEST!!!!!] tftc
Gorgeous winter day for a cool find. As a newby, this one as just perfect! Logged the book (may need a new pen soon - that one took some coaxing to write). Took nothing, left nothing. Some great goodies in there for kids to find soon.
Another cache I have been meaning to do, so today was the day. Headed up and parked nearby. Only one car there so was able to head to GZ without being noticed. Not sure whether to be up or down so contacted my paf to make sure. Located the cache. Inside were 4 small chocolate easter eggs - eww. Have they been there since Easter?? I removed them from the container to put in the garbage bin at home. Signed log and replaced as found. Back to the car... lots of cars there now. Must be tennis time. TFTC
This one was close by so I detoured and made the grab.
Quite a few out playing here today.

TFTC! So peaceful here nice quick find... Left some bubbles for the next lucky finder, enjoy!
Very very easy find, wasn't camouflaged enough. Put back and camouflaged well.
My sons cache may soon have to be archived due to the housing development sale of the land which is now taking place. We will leave it there until then.
