A really quick find while on track to find another cache. OCW Its_Dozzie and Everest High
Found a fair way from the car. OCW Martin Cousins and I'ts_Dozzie. TFTC Toriaz
Another find to keep my streak going. A nice discovery somewhere in Lower Blue Mountains with geospouse Graubunden. Lovely ammo box to unveil. TFTC Toriaz
Enjoying my geocaching adventures. Another find somewhere new. Another ammo box today, thanks Toriaz
Accompanied with OZUK for the day. Find and sign the log, and thanks for the cache and hunt.
Yep, satellite view definitely looks like you can drive through here.
So you can't, well I parked in the cul de sac and walked along until I found a track which I followed. The distance to the cache ranged between 35 and 40m but never got any closer. Hmm, bush bash to it, it isn't far?
No, I don't like the type of plants here, ones that harbour ticks.
So I retraced my steps and tried another plan of attack.
Soon was at a spot that looked geocache friendly, and there it was!
This is not the only place I have come across with 2 nearby streets carrying almost the same name. Doesn't the geographical names board realise this is very difficult for people, and technology can't cope with it either.

The largest cache I have ever found as I am still relatively new to geocaching, very good spot.
Took a few loops around the tracks but we got there. Great box. Thanks for the find

Thank you.

Thank you.
My first find in ages, but always try to make the effort when I'm travelling! Love a good ammo can hide. Up from Geelong for a few days for a mosaics workshop which didn't happen (bloody covid!) so time for some extra bush walking instead. With geo-daughter having made the trek west to join me for the weekend, we headed around the Birdwood Gully Track and managing not to get lost, made our way back to civilisation via this cache and the cemetery. Signed the log and headed for home.
Thanks for the fun hide!

#8662 (4 of 15 today - including 5 Adventure Labs)
Headed up the mountains today as the calendar gods are twitchy, and the rain gods are flooding everything near home.
Checking the BOM Radar, I hoped the mountains might be dryer - didn't quite work out, but could have been worse.
Found ten - as well as five Adventure Lab locations - but one DNF and a "looked from a dryer spot but saw nothing" kept me from having a perfect day.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Parked at the end of the road and made my way along the track. So which soggy trail to take to GZ?
Picked one and pushed aside the wet vegetation, and made a quick find.
Ooh, and Ammo Can!
Completed signing duties and replaced. Then back to the car and off to the AL. Unfortunately one leech came with me! Well, that's all I found soon after!

Had a lovely morning walk exploring Springwood cemetery and decided to try and find this Geocache. Easy find and cool amo tin!

Bush bashed our way to the cache only to see somebody walking on a track below Isn't that always the way! A great spot and always enjoy finding an ammo! Tftc!
Parked up at the cemetery in preparation for the Halloween photo cache. Made our way down the path and veered off where there was somewhat of a geotrail. Found the lip or rocky outcrop we were looking for and made a quick find. Duties done and replaced back a little further inside the cavity. Sometime soon there maybe some hazard reduction burns as we saw a rfs fireman walking the bush and his truck parked not too far away with another turning up as we returned from the final location of the Halloween cache. Who doesn’t like an ammo can, the only time no-one likes them is when you have to pick up the brass and return them. TFTC toriaz
After a few wrong turns we realised a bush bash was in order. Cache located in an awesome camo box. TNLN SL TFTC 
Nice and easy find not a lot of bush bashing required, perfect for liddle kiddies like ME!!!!!
TFTC. Easy find next to the golf course. Cooler weather and no fires, so time to get back in the bush. Watch out for the mozzies after the rain!
I’m house sitting in Winmalee for three weeks so will be grabbing a few Geocaches while I’m here.

After chatting with CO today, we were advised that this cache was just around the corner and so we enjoyed a nice walk through some easy trails to find this cache. After turning too early on a trail, we soon found the likely location and geoSoph made the find. Cache still going strong after almost 9 years. It is always that bit more exciting finding an ammo can in the bush. TFTC Toriaz!
Bit of bush bashing to get there but an easy find once in the right spot. Plenty of ammunition for the Banksia Men.
It was a bit hard to get to with lots of the native spiders and stuff by a very good hidden place thanks
On our return to Sydney after a week away, frazeydaxe and I stopped off at Springwood to grab a couple of caches. After finding one of the CO's caches nearby we decided to attempt this cache. After a short walk and a little bush bashing we were at gz with CIH. TFTC Toriaz.
Caching with oldmorty in Springwood.
A short walk from the end of Fairways Crescent and a short bush bash and we soon had CIH.
The end to a great day in Springwood. Now it's time for home.
Thanks Toriaz for placing this cache here for us to find.

We are based in Richmond for a few days and what a wonderful choice of caches. Today we headed towards Springwood and surrounds and this was one of the caches we targetted and found. Thanks to Toriaz for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area. 
A nice & easy find in a nice spot and a great container. TFTC!

Found with BillHill531 and my eldest, while on a somewhat impromptu camping trip to the blue mountains to find some scenic adventures and a very rare placed month. Lots of high terrain caches and fun to match.
We parked so close to this one, we just could not avoid it. Nice area and little walk. Shame it needs a bit of a clean.
Thanks for the walk, rocks and cache!
