Out caching with WaywardWoman this morning, we headed here as I havent had any luck before. We both searched, even did a PAF still nothing. Could the CO do a cache check pls?
GeoWife and I took a drive this afternoon to locate this elusive little cache but unfortunately the cache is gone.
So RIP little cache, you put up a good fight.

It was getting dark after we gave up on part 1 before we tried this one. But still didn't have any luck
After a dnf on Farmlands #1 I decided to head to this one to try my luck. Hint and logs helped. Well cam'oed. Not what I was looking for as a size 2. Enjoyed the find. Gets a favourite point for the camo. Tftc SL
There could almost have been a sign saying 'Stand Here!' So I did and made a quick find.
Nice camo. Helps when you can count! . TFTC

A quick and easy found, had a bit of a swing around the seats at the nets but all I found was bottle tops.
Would have been tough hide to spot without the hint, rather quickly spotted thanks Gazmag
I vaguely recall searching here for this cache. Found it today. Even with the hint it really blends in well.
Thanks for the cache.
Thanks for the cache.
Nice hide. The cricket was on today. Tftc

After a few days of non caching I got the ole Geo itch again. Late morning start after the peak hour muggles had vanished. had a great trip down the thin black line through Spencer and Gunderman not a vehicle in sight, That’s the way it should be. Headed down towards Wisemans Ferry and Maroota with a few stops along the way to Windsor to try my hand and to see what I could find. Nice cache
Thanks for the adventure
Thanks for the great Cache GazMag(8D)

A hint from Gazmag! Cool! This should be a cinch. 10 minutes later I'm thinking of ripping off every damn branch and raking out every piece of leaf litter from around this "seventh" tree in the row. Yes, Al...the seventh...IF you count from the big one in the corner!
Found it while in the area with the dog chasing down our 1000th cache. After finding the other one in this park we strolled over to this one and spent nearly as long finding it. Hint was a help. TFTC
Great day out for caching with Everlasting - enjoyed this area. Thanks for bringing us here ★
TFTC and thank you for the great location. Caches like this make it a worthwhile activity. TNLN
Very quick find. But I almost choked on the art thinking they where growing thistles. Tftc
After two DNFs we finally found this one. It is well camouflaged, and smaller than expected. Perhaps this should be listed as a micro. TFTC
Geowifw made the find... No one around today... Such a nice spot to walk around... TFTC.
A quick find after spending the day at the Pioneer Village. A beautiful day and we were lucky with this cache as there were no muggles about.

Now I have it... Still took a bit of careful looking. Good clue..... This time. Nice camo. Tftc gazmag.
After Thunderbox posted a DNF it was time to have a look at this cache.
It has certainly gone missing, so I replaced the cache with a nice shinny new one.
All good to go.

Went back and got this sneaky little bugger within two minutes. Good container....it's REALLY well camouflaged! Definitely all in the viewing angle. SL TFTC!
Ugh! Gazmag, you got us on this one! Absolutely no luck today, looked for a good twenty minutes, then had to take off due to someone else arriving at the location. Lucky we're not quitters, we'll be back.

We were on our way home, after finding the new Bridge to Bridge cache nearby, but bikerbuddy agreed to a slight detour to let me attempt to redeem last week's DNF on this one.
It took some time & both of us hunting before we managed to find this tricky little bugger! But eventually we got there . After I'd signed the log & replaced the container, we looked at the hiding spot again & couldn't see the container, even knowing where to look! This one is definitely well concealed.
Thanks GazMag, for the cache, and for the really quick maintenance run after my DNF

After three DNFs I thought it time to go and have a look.
Well yes it has gone!!
It has been replaced with just a slight adjustment to the coordinates as some of the nearby structures have been brought down in the wind.
All good to go now!!

We all looked for some time, but couldn't find. Tried a PAF, he gave some helpful advice, but we still couldn't find.
Agh just hate these multies when you get the calcs wrong . Ended up pafing to get a gz . Read the past logs before hand so grabbed a new bison and replaced the lost one. Owe me one BBudy. Any how TFTC

Spent a rew min looking and decided it wasnt going to be my day so went and had a look elsewhere
Geowife, youngest Geoson and I had a good look around for this one, after finding the nearby 'harder difficulty' cache in seconds, to no avail! Gotta love the grass on this oval! ....explains why the turf farms do so well in this area.
Will be back
Will be back
We are staying at the Richmond Club which has a good arrangement for people wanting to stay for up to 3 nights who have a campervan or caravan. Today with the intense heat we did a few caches early on in the day before returning to the caravan and putting on the airconditioning and a movie. This was one of the caches we were able to find. Great hide this one gets a fav point.
Nice work with the cache thanks to GazMag.

After getting stuck on the Farmlands #1 this was a must find. If it was a dog it would've bitten me. TFTC
Finally I can put this one to rest, today I was looking for something a lot bigger than needed, and also until I read the hint, at the wrong level. Thanks GM, a simple, but hard cache.
Must have looked at it a few times before seeing it. Nice one. Found with JH1280. SL.

Had to find a cache for today and this was it. Nice walk to GZ and found fairly quickly. TFTC
This time pjmpjm and I were determined to find this one after our previous DNF.
But after some time we still could not find it, time to PAF in this case the CO! He then confirmed that we were indeed looking in the wrong place, no by much but enough. This time pjmpjm got his hand on the cache, very hard to find this one.
Thanks for the cache.

rogerw3 and I had DNFed this well-hidden little cache some months earlier -- when even the CO accompanying us couldn't find it.
And it was too good for us again today, even knowing that the CO had done a very recent cache check and included a helpful clue. We just couldn't spot it.
So finally we had to ring GazMag for more assistance, and only then zeroed in on the hide. Very clever and hard to see!
All was in good order with the cache, despite the recent rain. TNLNSL.
Many thanks to our friend GazMag for an excellent challenge!

It's been a while since I have checked up on this little cache, all is well. I replaced the log sheet.

Had a really good look around but turned up nothing. It must be extremely well hidden.
Nice hide. I was in Windsor with the family at some shops and decided to run out and grab this one while I was close by. I pulled up not far from the cache and made my way to GZ. I checked a few locations and just at the right angle I spotted it. Nice hide. Thanks to GazMag for letting me know I missed a log. I had to hit rewind in the memory bank to remember this find. Thanks for the cache.
Good hide. Had us looking for about 5 mins before we laid our hands on this one. TFTC SL
Thanks For The Cache

After 2 visits last trip and this being the second visit this trip, I am happy to say this one has now be put to bed.
I cant believe that something so exposed and in your face could be so hard to actually see.
Another good GazMag hide

Found together with pjmpjm and GazMag on a day-long Geocaching and trig hunting expedition in the Kurrajong/North Richmond/Windsor areas.
Our only DNF for the day, we looked all over the place to no avail, even the CO joined in and had to admit this one has gone. The local cabbage farmer looked puzzled but became more friendly once he knew what we were doing.
GazMag said he might archive this one, or perhaps not!

Utterly failed to find this one, accompanied by rogerw3 and CO GazMag, while on a day-long geocaching and trig hunting expedition in the Kurrajong/North Richmond/Windsor areas.
Despite the help from GazMag, who of course originally placed the cache some time ago, the little container was no-where to be found!
A local cabbage farmer came up to the fence from the opposite side, and offered to help us. He was even willing to let us search among his cabbages.
CO thinks he may archive this one . . .
This was our only DNF of the day, so we weren't too disappointed.

No luck with finding this one. Had 2 trips out here the first time it was full of cricketing muggles the second time it was getting dark.
Next time I might do better.

Had a go at this one today with Calypso62 who had found it earlier. Maybe the Had a good look in and around the location of GZ but to no avail.
Will be back sometime in the future.

Credit to my well dressed geonephew who found it as I was going back to the car to PAF. SL #63
I don't know if it was a fellow geocacher or just somebody using the cricket nets on Sunday but thank you to the person who handed my geonephew's wallet into Windsor Police Station. This was our first find for the day and we were sure it went missing a couple of caches later so we never retraced our steps back to this cache. I'm still baffled how he lost it here and how it managed to stay dry over a very wet few days. Thank you again to whoever handed it in.

This one defeated us after a lengthy search.
We found the aforementioned sticks but nothing caught our attention.
TFTC anyway

I spent a lot of time on this one, and I evened pafed two fellow cachers, all to no avail. I have found caches from GazMag hidden like this before, but today was not my day.
This one took me two attempts, and I don't mind saying - thank god it's over. TFTC

Chook, Chrisitine Vista & I headed out for a day of caching in & around Windsor today. We made our way to The Breakaway Oval via Freemans Reach Road & parked in the makeshift car park. It was raining & the place was teaming with Muggle cricketers. Luckily, the rain was bad enough for them to abandon their game, so we waited for a while, then walked about 60m to GZ. We then busied ourselves examining piles of branches and sticks on the ground hoping something would jump out at us. We were ready to give up when Christine Vista noticed something odd out of the corner of her eye and a second later, we had the cache. This one is a favourite for me, well done.
I really like this one and it had us stumped for a bit. So I stood back and looked for something different and there it was! it's not where you think. Thanks GazMag you get a favorite from me for this one
We nearly gave up on this one but teambooo was reading the previous logs and we found the mentioned sticks and where looking from there and saw something just not quite right. Log was signed and returned in less time than it took to find.

Visit my father-in-law with the wife for Easter, and she was happy for me to tick off some geocaches along the way. Parked almost at GZ and a few steps to start the search. I was a bit worried about this cache after reading JABs log for a DNF. But I was determined to keep looking anyways. Searched for about 10 mins, saw the pile of sticks JABs had mentioned, turned over everything and was soon gonna give up. But spotted something what looked a bit different and it reviled to be the cache! Great hide!! Very easy to miss this cache. Nicely camouflaged. Well done GazMag. TFTC
I say that somene else has had a look here as there were a pile of sticks collected in one spot near GZ and after some time I phone a previous finder and still was no closer to the cache.

Find this cache on the day of a scout fund raising day for the beast cancer research, every thing was in pink. Had about 10 scouts look for this one and with this many eyes and hands, we soon had the cache found. Geodaughter actually found it as she has had a bit of practice a this sort of thing. TFTC

Alcan4X4 and I tried this one earlier last year, when it was in the process of being relocated. This time we were successful. Gazmag, you have a way with caches. It makes me wonder what else is in the making. Keep up the good work. TFTC
tftc sl bagoogle1 and I tried this one earlier last year, when it was in the process of being relocated. purple143 found this one first found with bagoogle1 and purple143 9th of 10 for to day
Argh gazmag you are so sneaky...awesome. Signed log and left a ring inside cache TFTC
After finding farmlands #1 thought this one would seem a bit easier but this was not to be
Searched and searched but came up empty handed, we will return

Found this one with Charleemonkey & extreme_pc tonite , Was pretty sure we knew where this one was and we knew it would be another tricky rags cache and it was, but we found it anyway, as well as getting absolutely swarmed by little flying insects by torchlight! TFTC.
After doing 20 caches with Charleemonkey today, we were sitting in my garage recounting the days adventures when Lessue drove up, ok Just one more today, so off we went. Pretty sure we knew where this one was and we knew it would be a tricky rags cache .... and it was but we found it anyway, as well as getting absolutely swarmed by little files by torchlight! SL TFTC.
23rd find for the day on a geocaching adventure with team_extremepc (and lessue for this one!) After a VERY full day of caching, we couldn't help but tackle some more! Fist on the agenda was this one. A tricky drive-by at night. The torches attracted thousands of fruitflies!! felt like i was crawling in them! A quick search of the GZ and the little bugger was spotted. Very clever hide. SL, TFTC!
Found this one after a little search, however, just as we retrieved and opened it we heard the sound of people arriving to use the ammenities on offer - they'd snuck up on us without us even noticing. So as we tried to look as casual as we could we stashed it quickly back away. It was only when we got back to the geomobile and we asked each other that we figured neither of us could remember writing on the log. Darn muggles!!!!!
We soon spotted this one and made this one our last for the day 15 finds & 1 DNF not bad in the rain. Now to head home to dry out and get warm thanks.
