love the tunnel we came through to get herenice quick easy findgreat sizelog is very wettook koala left green ribbon
Whole contents wet and rusty could do with some TLC. But it's still there. TFTC
Took a bit to find the correct way to the cache but then was a quick findUnfortunately log was wet so couldnt signTFTC
Very wet, rusty and mouldy inside-the lid has been eaten by a rat! Good spot to hide though!
Made a smarter approach for an easy find this time thank you. Would be nice if the Nurragingy reserve was open.
Hahahaha…. Found it. Went to buy McDonald’s for lunch so when for a short walk. Easy find, good location.
Some good and succesfull caching in the Parklands and Quakers Hill area. Had solved a lot of puzzles in preparation and also prepared myself for a lot of bike riding. Just had not counted on the weather not playing. Although mostly cloudy and only a few drops here and there, it was the heavens opening up about half way through the day, only 400 meters from the car but enough to get soaking wet!!

OCW young morty8888 picking up a batch of caches around the Western Sydney Parklands that have bobbed up recently. At first we thought that we may have been on the wrong side of the fence. Once we got to gz it was a quick find. TFTC Deputy _DOg.
OCW Oldmorty around the Western parklands on a warm day. Took the challenging route to GZ where Oldmorty made the find and I found the easier way back out. TFTC!
On my tour around the stadium today I also visited this cache.
Thank you

We found this geocache after attending my school's athletics carnival. Quick find once we got to GZ. TFTC
After a successful sports carnival, we ducked in to pick this up on the way home (or on the way to the next one!).
My son was training at a Wanderer's school holidays clinic today and I took the morning session to take a walk around, gain my 10000 steps and pick up a couple of caches. Interesting to see a crane truck parked in the creek bed here, somewhat suspicious, it surprised me as I got closer to it.
Logging late because I kept saying "I'll log that later."

Thanks! A fun little part of the world to walk through. Parked at Charlie Bali reserve and a short stroll along the pathway around from there by the roadway.
decided to go for this one today as its been on my unfound list for a while.
Parked near the sports field & walked along the creek then over the bridge as there was a bit of water in the creek today. TFTC Deputy D0g

A neat cache. We diverted from the Western Sydney Parklands track and after finding the cache went through the causeway to the other side of the train tracks. Bit random but fun!
#3256 - A methodical find. But was getting worried! Many thanks to **Deputy D0g** for establishing and maintaining this cache.
Out and about with Happy Uke again today. We were up at the sports oval to watch our sporty son play AFL. They lost but it was a good game.
Lots of ants seemed to have become quite attached to this cache.
Thanks!

Finalf29 and I had come to watch our eldest play AFL. The game was a bit scrappy, but they played ok for their first round in Division 2 ... need to work on their match fitness. So after the game we had to make a quick find before the sun went down. Finalf29 parked in an interesting spot, so we only had a short walk to the GZ and immediately zoned in on a likely area. Finalf29 quickly had the cache in hand. Thanks
Found. Quick search soon had CIH. First find for Feb after 4 dnfs this morning.TFTC.
Glad that there were not too many places that this cache could be hiding. It as simply a matter of elimination and finding just the right one. Our name was soon listed on the log before heading back to the geo vehicle. The cache container and all in it were in good condition. Thanks to Deputy D0g for a nicely hidden cache.
Found while my son competes at Athletic Centre. Special Olympics State Carnival.

I parked in the access driveway just past the baseball(?) ground and followed the fence to the obvious hide. TFTC
Found between games of softball. Afl hooter blasted as pulled out cache. Caused some consternation. But happy days quickly sorted the cache.
Thanks for bringing us to BOP. We had little difficulty finding the cache but it was some 9 metres way from where our GPSr first took us to. It's always a pleasure to find a large container and as this one had THREE TBs in it we took a couple to continue their journey in some caches closer to Sydney.
I had work meetings not too far from here this morning. With those over and done with I had a couple of hours in the afternoon to go and find a few caches before heading off to the airport and home. Yay, finally a cache that's not a nano or a micro! No trackables in the cache at the moment but I dropped a couple in that I had with me. TFTC, Biggles.
Our tenth and final find of the day walking from Marayong Stn to Doonside Stn. My muggle frined spotted this one while I was 10' away. Now it's back to the train for our journey back to Sydney. A good 10+ mile day with 10 finds and 4 DNFs I think. Maybe 5. My dogs are tired.... TFTC!!
Saw this one with ShirleenE as we walked into GZ. Cool find. Thanks for the butterflies, we left a little native Australian for you
Number 7 of 7 caches found today. Took the train to Doonside and drove my bike around for some exercise and caching. What a great morning.
Quick find. Nicely hidden:) No TB in cache tho:(

This was the only find for today. After having found the other caches in this series, I wanted to find this one. Whilst looking at the maps, I thought I would have to enter the grounds but was grateful the cache listing advised otherwise. I made my way as far as I could before having to duck under the metal railing. I kept walking down and found a spot to cross the creek. It was then it got a little confusing as to go to the left or stay on this particular track. I decided the latter and as the metres counted down, I realised I chose the wrong track. I negotiated some vegetation and made it to the clearer track where I spied GZ from afar. SLTNLN. TFTC.

Out for a ride on m7, took a detour for the caches in area hopefully luck is on my side. Tftc
#1615 (4 of 9 today)
Decided to head west today to grab more of the caches out Glendenning way. The pleasant stroll through the park lands yielded 8 finds, but also a number of DNFs (and one DNAttempt).
[center]* * * END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION * * *[/center]
Carefully picked my way to GZ through the grass - oh why did I read that warning sign at the last cache?
No snakes spotted.
Once there the iPhone wanted me in the middle of the path, but there was one logical search area, so I headed there.
A short search and I spotted something very camo-like - CIH!
Completed signing duties on the path - ie not in the long grass - and replaced.

#40 Getting late thought I would try one last cache for the day. Great place to hide it is going to get busy over the next week with World Cup action. Located & signed. Thanks
Once I figured where to go in (I was parked on the wrong side of the creek) this was a nice quick cache. No TBs inside though. TFTC
