YES, Why did we all bother looking. Made PPE stop on the way home from the Event and we searched before I checked previous logs and realised it's most likely G.O.N.E.
Bothg Alf and I searched for a while but are pretty sure this has dissapeared.

Have written to the Co and received no response- was told by someone they have moved away from the area.
Stopped here on the way to a Top ropes course with Scouts and searched for about 10 minutes before reading previous logs and notice that no one has found this in a long time and that it might have gone walkabout.

I have been watching this since I DNF't it. Unless it's a Bifrost (and I know it isn't), it doesn't appear to be there. Please check so we can hive it a smilie.
Pulled up at this non-descript location on the side of the road, and like other recent attempts failed to find said geocache. Nothing to see here.
No luck for me. Had a pretty good search in the only tree around that suited the description. Maybe just to smart for me but CO might like to check it out considering previous logs.
Thankyou
Thankyou
This was my only DNF out of 9 caches I did today. I think I had the right tree from the despription and logs and yet couldn't turn anything up. There was a lot of rubbish at the base of the tree, which I disposed of but, it seems like it might be a bit of a hangout for Saturday nights. Perhaps I just missed it(I admit that micro's aren't my favourite finds), but it may need a check.
Found it ! I nearly didn't find this one. I took the clue too seriously. Had one last look before giving up and bam, there it was. SL TFTC

Out with AllWeatherHeather visiting from Canada and on a sightseeing drive through the Blue Mountains.
Stopped for a few road side caches and this was one of them - liked the container - TFTC

This was a quick find once we found the right tree... watch where you put your hands though, I ended up with black (sooty) knuckles after retrieving this one. TFTC

Quick grab on way down mountain. Easy to pull over here even if travelling east. TFTC
Enjoying a too short visit to the Blue Mountains. Very nice place indeed. Thanks for putting out the cache. Wish I coould have placed one in thanks for your and all the other caches that I did on my visit.
A nice quick drive-by, although not "up high" now....
Spotted a very nasty object adjacent to the cache... be careful with geokiddies[8]
A nice container.. good use for bits and an pieces

Determination is the key...when it is getting dark and you have left your caching equipment at home and have no torch...use your mobile phone as a torch!!
Cache was not precariously perched (which is where I first looked) but lower and covered with natural camo.
It is amazing how many cars drive past when you are looking for a cache and how they all disappear after you have finished!

Located the correct spot and phoned a friend, all we found was a syringe, so we abandoned the cache
we had a BBQ at Wheeny Creek and drove up to Bilpin the back way. That dirt road has changed so much since it was 4wd only.. Anything will make it now. Found cache on ground in the open. Log dry so SLTN and had nothing small enough to leave. Wedged it back.
364 - Quick stop for a stretch of the legs and to grab the cache - container is doing a great job keeping out the rain. TFTC
Funny finding a caching container that I have favoured over the years. Was a simple stop on the wrong side but plenty of room to see both ways. Thanks for adding to the caches along this route. Helps to break up the driving and gives a chance to catch someone else in the act.

Found this one on our way to the Blue Mountains.

cache container dried out and new log replaced. Please screw end back on fully before replacing container in the hide.
was raining just as we got to the spot but decided to jump out and get it anyway.... getting heavier and heavier we finally had it in our hands...the log will need replacing very wet inside...tftc
On holiday from UK, we were travelling from Sydney to Blue Mountains and stopped to find this cache. A quick cache and dash. TFTC.
Not quite where I expected it to be but an easy find just the same as it was laying on the ground.
Completed the formalities, checked out the info board and returned it to where I thought it should be took a bit to get it to stay there.

I actually looked in the right spot and missed it, went back to the car for a torch, as suggested, and then came back and saw it straight away. So a wasted trip (of a whole ten metres) but a smiley to show for my efforts. Thanks
Reperio at 2035. One last cache for the night on the way to Mt Victoria, a after looking in the right spot initially, it wasn't until I shone the torch light in the right than the cache was found. Will hopefully get to see this beautiful area on the daylight on the return trip.

Out for a day of 4x4ing with the Dawg and SherpaNT, and what a day it was.
Obviously we found some caches along the way which made the day even more memorable.
This was our first joint find for the day,
Thanks Brolga

We found Hawkesbury Highlands (GC2J31M) on a Lithgow trip to find some local caches and do some 4x4'ing with HomeDG and SherpaNT, my 1st of 16 finds and my 1465th overall find.
Nice easy find..TNLNSL. Thanks for the cache, Brolga. Deputy D0g.

Travelling up the mountains with Steeba we took advantage of these new caches. Initially looking in the wrong we soon had the prize in hand.
Thanks
Thanks
A few new caches on the way up the mountains is always good since I was last here and in the darkness after a bit of a false start the find was made. TFTC!
A nice quick drive-by as we made our way home westward after an afternoon spent on the Grose swimming the geohounds and eating pizza - yum!!!
The last of four new caches to be collected today as we headed back home along one of our favourite roads.

Thought we'd have to skip this one - when we arrived there were people in a camper van having a cuppa, and when they finally left, a few other cars pulled in (waiting for another car it turned out). But we had a drink & a snack, stretched our legs & out waited them all. And were rewarded with the cache. My son was impressed that I managed to park within 2 m of this one, without even trying to.

I was heading out west and wanted to try to find a couple of caches on the way. Stopped at the sign and soon narrowed in on where GZ would be. My geowife quickly found the cache which had fallen out of its hide and was sitting on the ground in plain view. The log was soon signed and I returned the cache to a position that fits the hints ready for the next geocacher. It's great to see some new hides along the Bell road. Thanks Brolga for your efforts. Nice little cache container too!!

TFTC! SL Took a bit of searching was delayed by tourists looking at information board!

Found this one on our way out to Bathurst for family Christmas. A quick feel around and the cache was quickly found it was then back to the road.

Pulled in off Bell's Line of Road at the information sign and the accurate coordinates took me straight to the proper spot!
There was another car nearby, but I later discovered that it contained a muggle having a nap. He never woke up and left me in peace to do my caching duties.
Interesting container! It was dry and the contents were OK.

Many thanks to Brolga!

An easy find on the way west....spent too much time looking at trees more to the east, though. Nice container.
Easy find, placed it back how I found it, though, I found the alternate securing method first and almost gave up.

Nice quick find. But, I forgot the pen so I took it to the other new one nearby, signed it there and returned it. Sorry.

Saw this cache listed last night, it was too late and too rainy to go rushing out so it was off early this morning.
This is another great cache by 'Brolga', the container is a real bute!! Though I'd better not show a picture of it, might give it away. The cache coordinates are spot on and of course all in good order.
As you can see I got the date wrong in the log, how time flies!!
Tks ..... Brolga ..... GazMag
