By Dick Johnson on 20-Jan-11. Waypoint GC2MN4P

Found bit not signed. Unfortunately the cache has become an nest. TFTC

Cache has become an ants nest.

Thanks for my first find! this was awesome

Quick find on my walk through Lane Cove. Very muddy at places on the track but very different terrains throughout the walk. TFTC

Found while on a trip up from Taree with some family. Found a snakeskin near the cache, as well as some beautiful purple mushrooms a bit earlier. Thanks for the cache!

This cache was really fun to find! The cache was about 5m North of the marked spot but that could just be my compass.

Great hiding spot took me a few minutes!

Was really hard

Nothing in there to trade

A nice easy find off a short walk in the bush. As i was signing someone walked past singing without spotting me.
Thanks.

I had to go further than the GPS was suggesting got it in the end.

Nice and easy one.

Badger badger badger badger etc...

Yes it’s there! Merry Christmas!

Checked..
It's still there, right behind the SPOR covering the entry into the snake's little cave.
GPS shows within a few meters. All Good

??

Easy find.
Much talk about the missing container so I added one (a simple take-away box from a rather delicious butter chicken)
.
SL, TFTC

A nippy morning for the first of winter and when I came close to GZ my first though was “how many places will there be to look?”. Found the SPOR quite quickly but there dose need to be a new container here to protect the log. Thanks Dick Johnson.

Sadly no luck today
Will come back and try again in the future

First find of the day gives me rising hope 2 find some more before the rain returns! TFTC Dick Johnson

Made a quick find on the way home from the city.

A quick find as the late afternoon sun tries to peek through the rain, turning outside into a steam bath! Very happy for a short walk back to the luxury of automotive air conditioning. Thanks for the cache Dick Johnson

TYFC!!

First find after lockdown! Good spot! Watch for ants and spiders!

No container, just found the log under a rock.
TFTC

Found it

Found it but couldn’t find the digits needed to unlock the 5th cache in this sequence

Easy quick find and great location for geokids. There was only a Ziploc with one swap inside. Perhaps someone has muggled the cache container?

tricky find

Quick find in a zip lock bag. TFTC.

After work nearby I went looking for a cache to keep my streak rolling along.

Took one look at the options to approach “Down Under, Up” down the road, and decided to check this one out.
Fortunately, considerably less undergrowth on the approach, and the cache was discovered fairly quickly.

Unfortunately there is no container, log in bag only.
Despite that, it’s in pretty good condition.

Tftc.

TFTC. Longing Caches found with my daddy now i have my own account

Tftc. Quickly found on a steamy morning

Found log on ground, signed it and put in a plastic bag and placed it where our gps led us. TFTC

Found log on ground. No sign of container. Put in ziplock bag and placed where we thought it should have been. TFTC

Searched for long time and then found log on ground no container. Sealed log in plastic bag and hide it in where a snake would go to get some shade. TFTC

We found the log on the ground signed it, put it in plastic bag and placed it where we had expected to find the cache. Needs maintenance! TFTC

Hiking with Dropbears today and a nice and easy find! First time geocaching for some. TFTC.

TFTC easy find with the Drop Bears

Got emmm yeew

Quick find. Cache in good nick. TFTC!

A caching outing in and around Turramurra and Lane Cove NP. I was in the area to pick up some second hand sporting gear and while here I wanted to do some caching in these unspoiled parts, plus making sure I finally get Australias oldest cache!
I had an awesome time, mostly doing caches in the bush. I had all the bush completly to myself and even if some of the walks where not far from houses (and all right in civilisation) it still felt like a real nature outing.

This cache:
Quick find, nice cache, all in good order.

Thank you Dick Johnson for putting the cache out and maintaining it.

Thanks

Found with Hezzy1537 after his soccer game nearby. Couldn't see the clue for the final. Container is intact and dry. A very nice hide. TFTC.

TFTC NTNL, very good hiding spot, enjoyed the walk thanks

After a stretch of rainy days I jumped at the opportunity to head out today in the sunshine and collect a few caches around west pymble. This was a nice easy start to the day. Cache is nice and dry despite the surrounding area being so damp.

TFTC

A very pleasant lunchtime walk in the bush. Found the cache in good condition, nice and dry after a couple of days of rain.

With the sun out after a few days of rain, a day of caching with Oldmorty provided perfect conditions for some searching for treasures. This was the first of the day and Oldmorty found this easily with the sounds of the M2 in the background. TFTC!

Today I teamed up again with morty8888 for another day of caching, this time around the Pymble, Gordon and Roseville areas. We had a very enjoyable and adventurous day visiting the cache locations, finding many of the hides but also a few DNF's along the way. Thanks to the good coords this was a quick find. TFTC

A quick park and grab.
Nice location

Great geocache I love baseball card jk from Taran and Tim

TFTC!

Found it on a nice cool day! We will continue down the track for a bush walk. TFTC!

Found

Great find. Gps not accurate!

Found

Our first geocache - kids were thrilled!

Nice quick find after a little stroll. Tftc

Thanks

Fbs

Nice easy lunchtime stroll! Cache not hidden well so I added a bit extra cover!
I left the office saying “I’m going on an adventure!” , but no takers! Nice stepping stones along the way.

Yee

This cache reminds us of interesting orienteering country. Once again an amazingly quiet area. A must find for the beauty of the area. T&B

After a bit of back and forwards looking at the GPS I found it great hiding spot!

on Great North Walk
Easy find not too far off path though we came the long way to get there

nice walk along Great North Walk in Lane Cove Nat Park

Located at 6:54pm. Nice quick find after work. Certainly plenty of good places for a cache to be hidden. The wind was incredibly refreshing as I walked to and from GZ. Спасибо! תודה! L’chaim! TFTC!

TFTC!
Logbook was full so we put another paper in it.

Thanks our very first one! Could not find lock numbers though.

Found it today! Nice and easy for the kids to find

Nice walk along to GZ and signed the log as EV. Thanks for the cache and hunt

I nice relaxing walk in to find a cache in good condition. I think I found another Diminishing Hope a few weeks back! TFTC

tftc

oops. i did find it

Great stroll that even exhausted this geodog. TFTC

Found with RMC CCC TFTC!

Great spot and kids loved the climbing on rocks

TFTC. Great walk too

Tftc, the recent weather has been weird for caching, raining one moment, clear the next. I have managed to sneak in a few caches during the clear period. Made my down to this, found the totem of a weird hat worshipping group, then found the cache. Left a TB.

An enjoyable morning geocaching around my house, to turn some of those green spots into a smiley.

A wide path let to ground zero, to the point where geodog was still allowed to walk. Then it was carefully navigating the rocky area, weary for any crawlies that might be hiding in the shade.

My hope was diminishing as I inspected many snake hiding places, until I suddenly spotted a suspicious grouping of rocks. Then it was CIH. After signing the log I tried to find the digits for the final cache, but I could not find it anywhere.

Thanks for the cache

Found it running on beautiful hot day

A nice walk took us to the perfect snakes hideout lol

Collected the clue and signed log

Tftc

Quick easy find while on my lunch break thanks

Tftc. Clue is there. Just faded.

Today we were targeting caches in the West Pymble area. We are getting close to our 800th milestone cache and, having a particular cache in mind for number 800, we needed to find 8 more caches to get us to number 799. This was our 6th find of the day.

After finding "Flowed, Under, Up" we drove the very short distance to the start of the access track to this one. Parked the geomobile in Wallalong Crescent and then walked down the Lane Cove Valley Walk/Great North Walk track to GZ.

A quick search of likely hidey holes, where shady snakes may like to reside, soon had CIH. Signed the log book and swapped a plastic coin for a coloured dice. TFTC.

Find #797

Thankfully no snakes.

I found easily enough when going for a walk through the area. Couldn't find any clue unfortunately, which is a shame because I really like the general premise behind this series. Thanks all the same

Loads of golf balls!

A quick find with no snakes in sight.
Though i couldn't find the number clue anywhere inside the cache and contents.
Took a trackable.
Thanks for the cache.
