By The 4Runners on 02-May-10. Waypoint GC26Y38

Geocaching can come with occasional injuries . After a physio session, lets continue our pastime / adventures. A quick find once spotting an awkward SPOR. Thanks The 4Runners

I nice little trail to follow to this one, thanks

Found it with Martin Cousins. Found over yonder after finally reaching the right level. TFTC

Holding a bit of water but good to sign, found towards the peak than below, TFTC

Nice spot.

Found it,but make sure you bring your one ️

Manamanup she dee be deebeee was the soundtrack sung by everyone until we found this

Thank goodness we found it so we can start a new song

What a day to be out and about. Cache log damp. tftc

(2 of 9 today - including 3 Adventure Labs)

Headed to Springwood today for some caches to up my calendar finds. I'm actually running two caching goals at the moment. My immediate goal (for 2023) is reaching 500 multi finds. My longer term goal is 25 by 25 - ie 25 calendar finds loops by the end of 2025. And that's going to take work and discipline. So any day I can raise my total finds to 25 is one more day in the bag.

And that's what I've managed today. HUZZAH!

However, the Caching Gods give and they taketh away. While I avenged a previous DNF, I added two more to my account - and one of them was a multi.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Got to GZ and too a bit wandering around to little effect. Finally, I spotted something suss from a short distance and checked it. CIH!

Completed signing duties, replaced as found and away.

I’m getting pretty good at spotting rocks that are hiding caches. Nice hide in a nice place on a nice day thank you

Tricky find along the curly bike tracks. Lovely spot. Thanks!

Found. Full log to follow

Enjoyed the walk and spotted cache from above. TYFTC

TFTC never explored here before.

Tftc - easy find on a windy day gps showed me in the wrong direction but found

Windy and warm! Lovely day for a walk. TFTC!

Found quick and easy. Nice little cache. Tftc

Thank you, a fun find !
The poor box has a crack, so contents a little weather affected. Dry today

Good find

Very sweet and easy find

Lovely walk this morning, nice to explore this trail. Cache is ok, dried out ok. Tftc

Water damage needs some tlc

Out for beautiful, autumn afternoon's caching with Forereach and Mrs Forereach. The afternoon started well with this, and a couple of other finds, but it later deteriorated with a few DNFs, but that is the wonder of geocaching!!

Late start to a beautiful afternoon of caching with brother (dogwood53). Pretty promising start with a few finds but deteriorated as the afternoon lengthened and darkness set in. Will have to return and claim a few DNF’s. Easy little hide. TFTC

Nice spot for a cache. Quick find. Thanks for placing. Tftc

Back up in the area with Snoopy1976 today and headed out to this one. TFTC

Streak Day #1574 - Found ourselves up this way again so picked this one as our find for the day. TFTC

Easy find - look out for the brownie

Finally found one today before my 6 yr old son

This was the first of 4 caches for master Q, muggle husband and myself. Beautiful sunny day today and awesome location. Loved the cache, indeed a great one for the kids. After all the caches around the fire trail, we walked all the way to the end. We were a little disappointed when we arrived at the roundabout, thinking that was it. After we had a bite to eat, we explored a little further only to find the awesome view about 30 metres down a little track. Definitely worth the walk.

Tftc

After my last several geocaching excursions which took place on hot days and were quite strenuous, it was nice to take a casual walk down a flat fire trail, enjoy the breeze, and look for caches just off the track. Coordinates for this one were almost bang on; I walked right up to it. TFTC!

TFTC

TFTC gate was closed so we decided to walk to GZ, great for kids as there's minimal bush bashing

There is a sign on gate denying access till after 25/9/16 due to track maintenance.

Lovely walk and a nice easy find. Posed a slight problem in that it's a designated wildlife protection area so Geodog couldn't join us for the wander off the fire trail but there was a convenient post for her to wait. A great walk for kids. Tftc

??????????

I thought I do a few finds before taking mum out for mothers day.got this one.
TFTC

Nice spot. Nicely hidden. Plenty of toys for the kids, but we didn't bring swaps. Too bad geokids!

Quick find during a nice Sunday afternoon stroll. Many TFTC!

After finding a solid four today already, NickCD and I kicked onto the three towards Sassafras Gully, this time with haras (or what she will be when she finally decides to create an account).
A relatively simple walk down the trail to GZ, until we took a wrong turn too early and gave ourselves an unnecessary bush bash. We turned back, and were rewarded as we reached GZ quite easily second time around. A nice hide and a nice spot.
TFTC.

Found with Jimmy, Harry, Joni and Ella TFTC

Crossed paths with quite a few people walking the trail nearby.
Cache was found with little trouble.
Thanks for the cache

Lovely late afternoon walk. Enjoyed the bush bash from the trail and found fairly quickly. Tftc. Found and picked up a geocoin which hadnt been logged.

Nice views

Easy find after a nice walk out. TFTC.

an interesting hide, out with swiftthistle a wonderful area for walking.

Out for a caching session with Old Scout Bear, nice set of caches down the end of this road.

This morning AMGSARI and I thought we would attempt a few of the caches at the end of Yondell Ave, Springwood and along the Wiggins Track. Five attempts and five finds, some a little more challenging than others but all most enjoyable.

After leaving the main track, the side track was followed which lead to within 20 meters of GZ. With a little bit of searching around AMGSARI located the cache. Great location and a most pleasant walk to get there.

The log was signed and cache returned to it's hide.

Tks ... The 4Runners ... GazMag

#1,780

Out with Gazmag for a morning caching.
This was one of the caches we discovered in this great area beyond Yondell ave.
Thanks

... onto a second seek for the day, the side track was easy to find ... the wander into the near scrub a case of a little further, a little further. Probably I approached on a roundabout way, but the cache was soon in hand, all good and dry. TFTC

Found at 8:50:00 PM:

By the time we got this cache I was over Yondell, however I pressed on. Webguy and the boy, having been here before, stood on a nearby rock and watched while I ventured down by the light of a torch and found the general location.

I looked around, knowing that eventually the watchers would step into the scrub. When I heard them making their way down I extracted the container and made the appropiate marks in the log.

A nice afternoon stroll to this cache after a day out in the nearby area. It was a beautiful sunny winter's day - ideal for caching. Took the geocoin to move on.
Thanks,
The Hancock Clan

Nice bush walk today with the geodad and muggle friend. Was funny watching her look but not see what we now think is obvious. Nice weather today for dad's streak. Found after another DNF on one of Toriaz's nearby caches.

TFTC Found with bisygisy and muggle girl

Starting to know this track well. Third time on this track in the past couple of weeks. We noticed the fence posts yesterday and realised where we had to go to find this one.
TFTC. Found with azazzlenic and her friend.

An easy walk along the trails until a light scrub bash to GZ. At GZ, some views into the valleys to the west. The cache was an easy but an enjoyable cache to find. Nice hide and nice location. TNLN SL TFTC.

Checked the cache today after looking at the last few logs.
Log book dried and contents of the cache dried.
The box has been cracked. I'll replace it soon.

Found soon after The new forgotten Realm cache.
Log was damp, could only sign onto the cache with a pencil.
Thanks for the cache.

This showed up as nearbywhen i was headed for a puzzle gz. Cache contents were a bit damp but log in good nick. Took a gc and signed log. Tftc!

Just thought we would pop in and find this cache. Lovely easy walk. Found with ease. Left geocoin.
TFTC.

Came down to do the Sassafras Gully Walk with friends. Stumbled around at GZ and It didn't seem to be the obvious location. Almost gave up when we didn't find it and the gps was running out of juice.

But we found it after one last ditch attempt before we left.

Took slinky and left zombie danger sticker, little monster finger puppet left a pen as there wasn't one.

Since I was in the area I had to go for this cache, the 37 degree temperature did not help, just as well I was carrying lots of water. I got to GZ without problem, and as usual I looked at the obvious spot and thought 'no too easy!' and spent 20 minutes looking all over the rocks in the end I went back to the first spot and sure enough there it was! I can only blame the heat. Took nothing and left Yowie, Olympic pin and signature Pathtag.
Very nice area I wish it had not been so hot or I would have gone to the end of the main track, well another time.
Thanks for the nice cache.

Took a pleasant walk up the fire trail this afternoon with my eldest two children to look for this one. I think the gate is permanently secured by a new lock these days, but it's not too far to walk anyway. We enjoyed the walk, lots of wild flowers out to look at, and the birds were out in force.

Arrived at GZ and found the cache after a quick hunt. Signed log, did no swaps but collected the TB to move on further in its travels.

Thanks for a pleasant afternoon walk, we had a fun time searching for this one. Was tempted by a nearby cache, but decided not to risk the rain. We'll be back to this spot soon to find the other one.

TFTC we were on a walk to find and follow an old and very over grown track from the end of the fire trail to Glenbrook Creek. The cache was a good find along the way, Took a Geo coin and a cd left a geocoin and a pair of sunnys.

Parked at the new gate at the end of the sealed section of Yondell Avenue and walked approximately 700 metres on a very good fire trail to GZ. The rain held off and I easily found the side trail off to the right, which took me the final 100 metres to the CO's rocky hiding spot.

Cache container and contents were in good condition. Dropped off the Sakura GC and retrieved my old mate the Georola Mobile Phone TB. SL.

Took me a while to navigate amongst all the many rocks, but in the end I found out that the published coordinates were pretty accurate and that the hiding spot was quite reasonable.

Nice place for a walk and a good adventure for a geocaching family -- geokids can burn off lots of energy and there's no rubbish and little danger of cliffs, etc.

Many thanks to The 4Runners!

After finding the 'crack' it was a good walk out to GZ to find this, my 2nd cache for today. A great spring day and quite warm. Had this one in quick time once arriving at GZ and signed the log at 14:15pm. TNLN

The strong winds were still howling through the tree tops as we strolled down the track this sunny morning. Soon arrived at the rocky cache location and located the container. Pleasant and peaceful spot. Made no swaps howevver dropped off the Gerola TB.

My first cache for the morning and a pleasant walk from the gate. Great views from GZ through the thinning woodlands, cache in good condition, and well hidden. Thanks for bringing me here TNLN

A nice cache to end the weekend on after a number of bush bashes. Really pleasant walk, and it seemed we weren't the only ones to think this with many a local passing us by on the way there and back
TFTC

Good one for kids.
T:snakes&ladders L:Spongebob cards. TFTC.

Another spot that I would not of even thought of coming to if it wasn't for caching. JABs knew exactly where to go as it was his backyard as a kid.
Stopped and investigated the blue tubes near the power lines and found that they are ground water monitoring bores.

TFTC

Another cache down memory lane. Larst house on left was a good mate of mine, had one bike between us and going or coming from town one would ride to a set spot and leave bike the other would pick it up ride pass and so for. Wiggins Track off to the right at the gate area is well worth the trip down and out passed the cache on the left just before the drop down if you know where to look is a great set of cliffs for climbing. This was once a fenced off block that as kids we never even thought of entering. Fence and gate all but gone now.
JABs.

What a great spot! Thank you so much for bringing us here. Cache found with no problems.
T: robot
L: snakes and ladders, stickers, heart keyring.
Picked up fedex TB.
TFTC, RinRis!

After geohubby(bikerbuddy) and Garks getting this as a FTF some time ago, little NickoHeap and I nicked out to find this one today. With the gate gone, even our little Pulsar made it down the trail for a quick find once on GZ. Pity we couldn't have been there for the other half of our teams very first ever FTF. Good spot, but still a quick find, this time for me.

TFTC

Great spot! Live locally but had never been here before! Lovely views and excellent cache. TNLNSL. Cheers mandaj and timmeh

Thanks for the cache, found with truja. Took stickers, left robot.

Quick and easy find. Thanks for another local cache! TNLN

1:56pm
An easy find, maybe the co-ords are a little out, grabbed a new set they may or may not help, we averaged our over 10 minutes. Some of the walkers here DO NOT like people driving on this road, we met the same GRUMPY fart walking his dog as we were going in and out. Going out, he refused to get over so I went around him and all we heard was abuse as we went past.

Dropped a trackable.

Nice first cache!!

Nice easy cache with a nice walk to stretch the legs on a quiet Saturday afternoon.

TNLNSL. TFTC.

P.S. I think we parked next to the same red car as you, bikerbuddy. We got to meet the owner, so it wasn't abandoned!?!

Our first FTF EVER for Bikerbuddy and I. TFTC and the fun

Published

Finally, a FTF on my 115th cache! (I think a customary "WooHoo!" is in order here) 5pm

Got home from work and the Geowife, WaywardWoman, tells me there's a new cache close by. So I grab Garks while she takes NickoHeap off for his piano lesson and we head off. Surprised to see the gate is no longer up on this road but we parked at the gate, out of habit I think (What restraint I am now thinking.) We hoofed it along the dirt road with the sun fading and thoughts of that red car parked next to ours. But when we got to the location there was no one around. A brief search followed. The GPS had GZ about 8 metres from the cache.

As I signed the log book the sun was going down and this big guy with a dog who looks just like Hurley from the TV show LOST turns up. I call out "Are you looking for something?", thinking you know what, but he just looks confused, seeing this guy in his work clothes and his kid in school uniform ratting around in the bush.

Anyway, thankyou 4Runners for putting this cache here. It's a good spot for kids and I think it would be great if the mountains had more caches suitable for kids. Thankyou.
