Logs
Found on ground in plain sight. Log missing. Looks like a car hit directly here recently. Don't know where the marker belongs so put back under a cement rock directly behind the hint (Xnera).
This took me a while and it should have been quick. I took my sunglasses off and that helped. Plenty of muggles driving past but none asked to speak to my manager. TFTC on a drizzly afternoon
Discovered with Chippyddd on the way to the Blue Mountains NSW. Quick easy find but very sneaky. Good hint. No room for swaps or drops Karen. SL TFTC TFTH Replaced cache as found ready for the next cacher. Thanks and cache on.
Well spotted by geo buddy, Mystic Seer. SL TFTC TFTH Nice ding in the guard rail. No.6 for the day. Good clue.
We have travelled from Sydney’s Northern Beaches to Emu Plains for a short 4 day caching holiday, staying in a park cabin at the Ingenia Nepean River BIG4 Holiday Park at Emu Plains, and are planning to explore the areas around Emu Plains, Penrith, Glenmore Park, Cranebrook, Castlereagh, Lapstone, Glenbrook, and Blaxland. Will be concentrating our efforts on collecting the Glenmore Park Puzzle GeoArt and the Puzzled Hearts GeoArt caches, all of which we had solved before leaving home, and also hoping to complete the local Adventure Labs along the way. This was our 8th find of the day, and 55th find of the holiday.
When we DNFed this one the last time we visited (2018), it was confirmed later as missing. Well no such problems today, with a super quick find in the first place we looked, which was the same place we checked last time. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found. Interesting that the damaged infrastructure hasn't been repaired since our last visit to GZ over 2 years ago! TFTC whitemushroom.

Today we started a cache tour around Glenbrook and visited many caches.
Thank you

Found on my way home from a short trip to Blacktown. Nice easy cache when you need a quick find.
The heat made finding this one a bit uncomfortable, but located Karen quickly. TFTC
Targeting a few priority caches in the Mountains today, managed to include a few quick PnG traditionals while passing. Expected cache on the bridge itself but kept following arrow around the corner to a typical and little more secluded “cache attachment” which I searched almost long enough to trust the last logger’s dnf. Then I spotted “karen”, well actually a few “karens” and soon after the cache which was still safely in situ.
Karen is no longer very helpful and it was she who confused me on the last visit. TFTC.
Had some spare time with the kids and this one was close by.
Had no idea until we read some of the other logs.
Don't leave the concrete area.

A rare weekend opened up in between elections so we took the opportunity to take a walk through Glenbrook. Great weather and an enjoyable caching day all round. Quick find but no idea what the hint alluded to.
Out caching with ziggiau, MrSmash and dingoman007 today and found many fun caches in the area. Thanks to the COs for placing them.
Found .. 8m west of karen..best there. As barrier near karen busted.. and will prob get replaced
Found it after a fair search. 8 metres from the accident site. Have no idea what a Karen is. Not an easy one.
Out of sight but definitely not out of mind... unfortunately Karen got a laugh out of me again today! Is it still magnetic? Is there more than one Karen? I don't know, I just know that once again, I couldn't put my hands on this cache today. :/
Maybe Karen was unable to save this cache from a recent impact? Maybe I'm wrong, there are still registration plate frames here though so it looks fairly recent.
We have travelled from Sydney’s Northern Beaches to Penrith for a short three day caching holiday, staying in a park cabin at the Gateway Lifestyle Nepean Shores Holiday Park, and planning on exploring the areas around Penrith, Regentville, Jamisontown, Emu Plains, Lapstone, and Glenbrook. Will also be keeping an eye out for our final Hidden Creature, the World Turtle, whilst out on the caching trail.
No luck for us at this one today. Had no trouble finding "Karen", but she appears to have been involved in a very recent accident involving a motor vehicle (fresh debris still present), so not sure if the cache survived the ordeal. Anyway we had no luck locating it after a reasonable search of GZ. TFTH anyway whitemushroom & wackydo and eaviate.

Karen... Interesting... Couldn't figure this out until after we found the cache. Ahhh Karen! Tftc
Intetesting hint. Had no idea u till after we found tge cache then oh now it makes sense lol. TFTC
Day 50 of 365! This years resolution is to find at least a cache a day. Not only for the thrill of the chase but I’ll also get super fit as well!
Here in Sydney for my great aunts funeral, caching doesn’t stop though! After a long overnight flight (of which I had no sleep), travelling around, and visiting friends we finally made it home and I wearily forced myself to go and find the nearest cache. Arriving at GZ I couldn’t find anything out of place and was about to retreat when I spotted the cache lying on the ground. Signed the wet log and replaced where I thought it came from. Tftc

Found on ground. Magnet missing. Placed back in suspected intended place but needs maintenance. TFTC
Cooler today and so much better for geocaching and doing some wallking. This was one we targetted and were able to find. Thanks to whitemushroom for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area. 
I didn't understand the hint but thanks to the accurate co-ords it was a matter of park and grab. TFTC.
Maybe give it a new log?Found @ 3/7/17, 8:38 am by BnB_Holton

A quick find here to finish off my ramble (albeit a motorised one) through the northern parts of Glenbrook (well, along Moore and Railway Streets at least) before heading over to the other side. I was glad the cache was placed where it was ... this is quite a busy little intersection (well it was today) and making the find would have been harder if the cache had been placed closer to the overpass itself ... so thanks to the CO for considering this.
I walked up from the painted bus shelter on the highway to cross it at the overpass and then return to the station for the train back to the city.
That meant I could collect one last cache hear at the overpass.
While I was waiting for Karen I checked the area and soon found the cache magnet but alas no cache. This is quite a busy street and I had to time my searching between muggles passing in both directions.
Finally Karen appeared and not long after I found the cache.
I signed the log, visited some TBs then tried to get the magnet to stay in place. No luck. I positioned the cache and magnet carefully so they sort of stay together.
Hopefully a future cacher can bring some glue and stick the cache and magnet together.
TFTC 5th and final find for my day in the mountains.
Cache # 1928
