We are on another short (three day) caching holiday in North Western Sydney, staying for two nights in a park cabin at the Ingenia Holidays Avina BIG4 Holiday Park at Vineyard. Hoping to collect some previously solved Mystery/Puzzle caches, complete some Adventure Labs, and accumulate enough cache finds for this month’s "Wheel of Challenges" easy & hard souvenir chase. Photos will be uploaded to some (most) logs on our return to home base.

Today (day 1) we travelled out to Vineyard, going via the M2 Motorway from Delhi Road North Ryde to Old Windsor Road Seven Hills, then through Parklea, Quakers Hill, Schofields and Riverstone to reach the accommodation. Collected numerous Traditional caches, some previously solved Mystery/Puzzle caches, and one MultiCache, that we passed along the route. This was the 14th of 20 finds for the day (day 1), and 14th find of the holiday.

After grabbing a few caches around Schofields we next arrived in Riverstone, and this was the first cache we stopped at. Searched for a while at GZ before finding the cache out in the open with it's lid off and contents strewn around, about 10 metres off published coordinates. TNLNSL, put all the contents back in and with the lid on, then placed the cache at the base of the nearest tree with a small rock on top. TFTC smith1710 and Lstarr32.

Find #6331

An afternoon in the Riverstone area for the new AL and of course supplemented with a few 'normal' caches.
Quite a messy place with litter everywhere. Luckily the cache revealed itself after a while.

**Total find count: 884** @ 24/05/2020 3:35:38 PM

Our first day out geocaching after the global pandemic. We have still yet to get our geocaching eyes and fingers back into gear as we were only 50% successful today. Oh well, plenty more caches our there to practice on.

The farmers friends at this location covered everything as I wandered in to find the cache. A quick find was made before signing the log and replacing as found.

Another day OCW marj01. After a very early start from the eastern subs we arrived at Ebenezer at first light to commence the day. During the course of the day we visited 69 trads, 4 multis, 2 puzzle and 2 letterbox caches. With only a handfull of dnfs it was a successfull day, with the majority of the caches being found in a reasonably short time. Thanks to all the COs for hiding and maintaining their caches and providing us with a fun day. Cheers oldmorty.

To keep my streak going I came out to Riverstone today for my caching exploits. There was plenty of activity on the oval adjacent to GZ and lots of vehicles but that meant my geomobile didn't look out of place where I stopped.
A quick hello to the friendly horses near the fence then a scout around some likely spots as the GPS couldn't make up its mind and the cache was found. SL and visited some TBs.

Watch where you walk.
There was fresh human excrement with loo paper quite close to GZ. Sad
Cache was fine though.

Making my way to IKEA and saw this cache right along the way.
I arrived at GZ to find the cache container out in the open and empty.
I set out to put a new log in the cache and place the cache in a spot I thought best fit the coordinates and have it hidden out of muggles sight.

I’ve had a hiatus from caching and just getting back into it again and needing to get my logs up to date.

Find: 531
1st of 3 finds for today
Cache condition: Good condition
Logbook/sheet: created a new log sheet

Thought I was going to have a disappointing end to the day. Found another sizzling cover close by with no treasure. Had one more look and found the real (almost identical) deal. Only a couple of items left, including a cockroach that had made its home.
Signed log and put back in place.
 
24-Aug-17
On my way to Windsor today and I stopped off to grab a few caches along the way and this was one of them.

After parking nearby it was a short walk stroll to GZ where the cache was soon in hand.

Once the log was signed the cache was then returned as found.
