25/6/16. 9:43 AM.
1st of 2 DNFs (& 9 finds) - Cecil Park, Denham Court, Edmondson Park & Horningsea Park.

Having finished the last half of "The Fruit Trail" (my last one being Plum II), this was now my only unfound in Cecil Park, so I was keen to come over. Like the previous logger, I too got right down to prone, but found nothing. No luck when I expanded my search either. Could do with a CO check?

I went for a bit of a drive to get my next cache, "Not Edmondson".

Find #1621 - 17 for today. Found on 10/05/2015 4:58 pm
Found it after a brief search. Log book unwritable, left a piece of paper, but log book needs drying out. TNSLLN
 
27-Apr-15
Coords were spot on and the clue perfect for a quick find. The log is saturated. I had spares and bags too, but what would I have done with the current log? TFTC.
 
19-Mar-15
On the way home from work, tried looking around for about 10 minutes, couldn't find it. Didn't want to look too suspicious with those security cameras out front. Will be back for another go next time.

Another day out and about and picking up a few caches on the way!
A nice easy quick find. Had a look at the MTB track nearly after
 
26-Feb-15
Today I had to visit our Aviation Radar site at Cecil Park, on the top of the big hill to the East of this cache, for some maintenance work. I arrived a bit early so took a quick diversion, a little further along Elizabeth Drive, to grab this one.

A quick find before heading up the hill to begin the working day. Thanks Burkey Turkeys for the nice "pre-work" cache.

Find #292

6301 Caches Found

After a few days of non caching I got the ole Geo itch again. Early morning start still dark had a great trip down the thin black line not a vehicle in sight, That’s the way it should be. Headed out towards Blacktown, Penrith and a few stops along the way to Picton to try my hand and to see what I could find
Thanks for the adventure

Thanks for the great Cache Burkey Turkeys(8D)

#1430 (5 of 5 today)

Came out this direction a bit late today with three caches specifically targeted.
Only found two of the three, but at least grabbed a few others on my way.
[center]* * * END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION * * *[/center]
Getting to GZ I worried that the cache was the wrong side of the fence, but once out of the car, it was all good.

Cache was found in the logical spot.

Completed signing duties and replaced... exactly where is that security camera pointed?

14-Nov-14
9,019 + 1,010 = 10,029. Found during a work trip to the Penrith region.

Heading home after finishing work I grabbed a last few local caches before the long drive. Eleventh find and a quick drive-by stop and find. Signed, returned. and I was off to the next one !

Thanks Burkey Turkeys ! Nice spot for a Cache !

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers....

It's remarkable how blind I can be... Needs help of geokids next time.
 
24-Oct-14
YES! I first attempted this Geocache early last year with some friends with no luck. Finished work for the day and decided to take the scenic route home, thought I would stop by this geocache and give it another shot.
First place I looked, I found it. Woohoo!!

Couldn't sign the log as it is soaked.

That was hard work, where it was expected, but very well hidden. Clue definitely helped as did geodad's long reaching arms. As noted by previous cachers, log is saturated. Tftc xo
 
02-Aug-14
Found one a late night cache with adventure mum. TFTC - log is damp

Looks like a nice new bike track is about to open. TFTC
 
14-May-14
The ageing bushfire was out the door early today as the (NGW) non geocaching wife required the wheels this afternoon other wise we may not eat and that would not be good. At least I provide the beer and wine which I must go and see Dan Murphy tomorrow.
On arrival here I was aware of the camera's and could not get over the amount of traffic passing. The cache was soon located, signed and I was on my way to the next.
Thanks Burkey Turkeys for placing this cache.

I did fel like I was being watched with so many security cameras on this gate area, but I made the find in quick time and signed the log before heading home to escape the heat of the day.
thanks.

Found while shooting at NSW state skeet championships.
 
20-Jul-13
Got in the prone position and could not see anything but new landscaping bark that had been freshly laid. After spending about 15mins looking I was thinking maybe the cache has been removed or covered in fresh landscaping bark......
 
07-Jul-13
Lovely day to be out caching. Found easily. TFTC.
 
22-Jun-13
Easy find even with the passing traffic. Prone is definitely the most comfortable position for this target. Tftc
 
05-Apr-13
Found at 10 am.
I was surprised that there was so much traffic in and out of this gate.

Security turned up!!! (Lucky they didn't ask any questions)
Why would a place like this need security?
(No questions asked, cache found........and the cache still secure)

Nice one TY Burkey Turkeys!
 
24-Dec-12
Adopted the prone position as requested and the well covered cache was spotted.

Signed log and returned the cache to it's home.

We were (kind of) nearby here today for a birthday party, and detoured on the way home to find this cache.

We had a bit of drama - just after we got out of the car, the Imp found a huge ant on her foot & started screaming when she got some bites. While I was tending to her, CFig found the cache for us. He likes it when he gets the gloating rights that he found it Big Grin.

Thanks Smile

On our way back to Penrith, slight detour. Thanx for the quick cache.

Another quick find for GeoMum this afternoon. TFTC
 
24-Aug-12
Strange to find a BT cache so far from home after having found the rest on the north shore. Not a venue I've visited before and this is outside the gates. The phone decided to lock on a certain distance and stay there but I used my cacher's sense to make the find. Signed and replaced. There's some termite damage occurring here.

Thanks!
 
06-Aug-12
Nice hide,cheers

#13331 and Day 65- It's all about statistics I hear people say- On day 5 of the Olympics, it was appropriate that I drove from the mountains, past the exit to the Whitewater stadium( I'll be watching an ex student in the Olympic semi's of kayaking tomorrow), past the Equestrian centre and down to the Shooting centre to get this cache. I'm not fond of caching in the dark, buut it was a neccessity to keep the streak alive. When I arrived here, the place was in darkness, apart from the security guard locked up in his office inside (probably watching the Olympics shooting on TV). A quick find and I was off home to do what... watch the Olympics of course. Thanks Burkey Turkeys.
 
11-Jul-12
TFTC no muggers about today.
 
05-Jul-12
A good hint. This would be hard to get most times due to the amount of muggles nearby. Got it on dark. TFTC.
 
26-Jun-12
Out and about with the rml for a lunch break. Good to get out of work for a bit. Go Aussie.

Made a quick grab in the dark while jakesti06 was still firing up his gps. Saw the gaurds in the box but I dont think they noticed or cared about us being there. TFTC
 
13-May-12
Tftc good hint took me back to my army days.
 
01-May-12
Pulled up and heard the shooting over yonder, Geokids set about searching and Geoson soon had CIH.
We signed the new log and returned as found.

TFTC Smile
 
29-Apr-12

Checked cache today Smile Updated log book.
Happy Geocaching
 
10-Apr-12
Found with pjmpjm on our day's caching.
While there is really only one place it could be this cache did prove somewhat elusive. Mind you we do like to make things harder than they have to be!
In the end it was located in the obvious spot, extracted and the log signed and returned.
Thanks for the cache, I expected a noisier time with gun shot all over the place, but it was in fact very quiet.
 
10-Apr-12
Stopped by the gate of the SISC with rogerw3 while undertaking a trig hunt in the western Sydney area.

We were momentarily puzzled by the odd structure until I finally thought to follow the CO's instructions! Then all became clear . . .

The cache was in good order. TNLNSL.

It was rather quiet around the SISC this afternoon and we weren't disturbed by security guards or anyone else.

And no sounds of gunfire . . .

Many thanks to the Burkey Turkeys!

Tried this one coupla weeks ago but the Security bloke was sitting in his little office but today I drove straight past and then snuck back and played 'sneakin's up' and got the cache did the paper work and crawled back and then awaywith another smiley under my belt>
Thanks Acko
 
18-Feb-12
I have never been this side of the city so I didn't know about the existance of this shooting range either!
TFTC Wilbert67
 
16-Feb-12
Got to GZ but there was a Suzuki Parked at the gate, with a big Security sign on it with an even bigger security Man moving VERY meaningfully in a meaningful way with a walk that, I believe, was only hampered by the muscle mass throughout his body. I decided that I should leave and return when I grew some!!!!!!

11-Feb-12
Never knew this was here, quick find. TFTC
 
25-Jan-12
Found OK but it was floating in a pool at the base of the hide site having been washed off by the 'small shower' that was taking place as we found it (my Aussie friends description not mine!)
Managed to dry it out and replace
TFTC
 
31-Dec-11
Thanks.

Watch the muggles on the security gate. An easy find. TFTC
 
26-Dec-11
A day out caching and this was one of a plethora of caches we found.
I'd never been in here until today and after today I've only been as far as the front gate.
Thanks
 
05-Nov-11
Quick find TFTC
 
03-Oct-11
No problems finding this one, and they were shooting nearby.
 
22-Sep-11
Parked the car across the front of the structure to ensure a muggle free zone, spent some time poking around until I did as the hint suggests, easy find from there. not a good one if you have some good work cloths you want to keep clean Wink TFTF. plenty of room on the back of log - full page to go
 
20-Sep-11
Had a good look, took the position still didn't come up with the goods today. Will have another crack next time I'm out that way.
 
20-Sep-11
No good today.
 
11-Sep-11
Log not near full - at least 20 more spaces. Another faked cache by RIGBYinc as well. Soon located this cache. SL TFTC
 
05-Sep-11
Ahh, the Sydney Olympics, seemed like it was only yesterday!
TFTC Log full though
 
24-Aug-11

Nice hide but really needed to really get low to find it.
TFTC
 
10-Aug-11
proved to be a difficult one with many cars and trucks going by. Will have to come back.
 
31-Jul-11
As the cover of darkness started to set in, we pulled up to this one and quickly had the cache in hand. We returned to the car to sign the log and it was at that point we seemed to have come to the attention of the Security guards nearby, we quickly returned the cache and got out of there with no need for explanations thankfully. TFTC.
 
24-Jul-11
A gold medal find on this one and with the sound of gunfire in the backgound
I was off to the next hunt on the list...TFTC...Smile
