Found while watching rowing training. Muggle hang around so had to wait till he left
Left home early this morning 4:00am, pitch black headed down the thin black line again to Sydney’s Historic West, Especially Richmond and the Penrith areas, Had the place to myself this morning great spot for a cache, Great cache. TFTC
Lovely area not many muggles - finally retrieve the nano hooray!!!. Signed the log. Saw two army planes... Thanks Booo Booo
Great day out for caching - enjoyed with Everlasting & skyejam. Thanks for leading us here
We arrived here from other cache - Olympic Ring but we were stuck because there was the cult looklike muggles sat on the picnic bench and the seat near the spot. When Everlasting was pretending to shot the picture near them then somehow it was suddenly that they moved on and drove out so we grabbed the picnic seat and grabbed the cache and signed on the log then we moved on and drove out too! TFTH
Found on 2/1/14 at 4:04pm. Was a little worries about finding this one given the many spots this Nano could be hidden. In the end, made a relatively quick find with the help of no muggles being present. SL TFTC
We continued on from the Olympic rings cache to arrive at a muggle free spot. A quick look did not show a cache until we looked at the hint. We climbed up and made the find which saw certainly more than T 1.5 even if for only a short distance. We completed the signing duties and re hid. TFTC

Got me again Booo Booo, took all the T-Rexs today but still couldn't turn it up.
With two very unco-operative junior T-Rexs in tow, I didn't have the patience to search for this one. I will have to return with Lord T-Rex, I think his height may come in handy.
A tricky little nano made even more difficult with the constant stream of muggles. Eventually found and signed on a fresh new log. TFTC.
When arriving there was a couple of muggles having picnic at the next table, but they did not bother about what we were doing. The cache was located in the first place we looked.
Found it while attending Sydney West Cross country carnival. easy without muggles around.
Had to stretch the knees for this one. Log was full and damp. TFTC
Log replaced with a 'paper' trimmed printout.

found it during the rowing world cup but i reckon it´s also a nice place to go to without the regatta going on here

This was the second of the two geocaches we found today at the Regatta Centre. The cache is nice and dry and in good order, but the log is full, though we did manage to squeeze our initials into a tiny blank space along the edge of the tape. It’s in a pleasant and peaceful place, during the week anyway. Thanks for the cache Booo Booo.
Our second find at the Regatta Centre on Valentine’s Day. I pointed Mr MR to a likely spot and he retrieved it. SL TFTC
Quick find while out in the Penrith area. There was an event on today but hardly a muggle in sight.

Found the location. Could even see the cache from our location, however the muggle family sitting right next to the cache would not leave. Will have to return later to sign.
This was the third find of fifteen today. I am visiting from Canberra for Christmas and today I went out Geocaching. There was no-one about this weekday, which made retrieving this cache easy. Merry Christmas. TFTC.
Quick find after a regatta event finished. Place was pretty much deserted! SL. TFTC.
Aborted this cache 3 times over the years. At this years triathlon, I thought I may have reasonable success as my event was the last one. Toriaz assured me there was no one there this time. We parted ways and I went for some lunch then put my bike in the car. Not many muggles about and I was confident that today I'd be able to search and when I got closer I was horrified to see a muggles sitting at GZ. Not again. My eyes were deceiving me because as I got closer , I realised it was Toriaz sitting right at GZ to ensure that no muggles sat there today. It worked and soon I found the tiny little nano right where I thought it would be. Thanks for being a muggle deterrent, Toriaz.
Having a day at the whitewater park was alot of fun. It was a great way to grab a few caches in the area....
Plenty of muggle activity around here today. They are setting up for some type of concert nearby. After waiting for the picnic muggles to leave the cache was quickly inhand.
Thanks

Such a good spot. Been down here many times to ride the bike around so I guess I have ridden past it many times to.
Good spot for the cache to hard but not to hard.

Reperio at 1630.
I came past GZ earlier, but as soon as I pulled up I could see a family sitting down at the tables there...so headed off to do anther nearby cache in the hope that they were gone by the time I came back. As it was...they were...so I quickly wandered over...searched high and low...and soon had the cache in hand. This is a beautiful spot with a picturesque view of the lake.
Gratias Booo Booo.

Back up in Sydney for a few days so had to add a few more smiley faces after being away for seven months.
I cannot get over the number of nano's up this way but this guy was found without too much trouble, the log was signed and it was off to the next.
I have never been out to this part of the world before but knew that it was out here. What a great complex and thanks Booo Booo for placing this cache.

Nice spot been here a few times now but never stop to look for caches in the area. TFTC. Quick find.
Log full; replaced with temporary log.

The geoson had this one in his hand whilst I was still checing out the rowing course. Thanks for the cache Booo Booo.
Found today with pjmpjm on our Trig hunt.
The little cache was quickly in hand, I can see that a busy weekend could make this a difficult one to retrieve, however the group having a day put did not deter us with our Hi-Vis vest we were here on official business!
The log is full, but we had nothing suitable to replace it with.
Thanks for the cache.

Despite a community group visiting and picnicking in the area, rogerw3 and I were able to make a quick find because of the accurate published coordinates and good clue.
All was in good order with the little cache. TNLNSL.
Not wanting to attract further attention, we took off as rapidly as possible.
It was a beautiful day to visit this place. I don't actually think I've ever been here, even though I've lived in Sydney for nearly 40 years.

This one took quite a while to find but it was really where I thought it would be.
I just kept missing out.
Log is full.

Here for a school triathlon event. Lovely day for swim, ride and run - and a cache. Thanks for the hunt.
Rowing event on today, lots of activity, luckily on the other side of the water. Short search..made the find..Thanks SL
We have be wanting to do this one for so long, but muggle have been an object, to day the opportunity arose. TFTC
Had a good look for this 1, gave it as good as I could between runners & bicycle riders, in the end I was being watched by workers in the long distance, nice spot to visit but no cache found, thanks.
Had to wait a while for the muggles to leave. Had a bit of problem getting the paper out. TFTC.
Nobody was using the facilities but there was a constant flow of joggers coming past.
Grabbed it from the first spot I looked, signed and returned.

Found the other day, can't remember when, they had some sort of event on during the time
The last two times here we have come on weekends only to find events on, so we were relived today that the place was virtually empty so exploring GZ was easy as was locating the cache, thanks.
Approached the gates to the regatta centre and was promptly stopped and questioned about our reasons for entering... 'Kayaking!' i exclaimed, to which she informed us that no such past time was taking place today due to the power boat races. 'Ah, yes, we wish to witness this great sport' I quickly retorted. This excuse she accepted and allowed us to enter. Thankfully there was no one present at GZ or anywhere near, all the action was being witnessed at the grand stands. We searched for quite a bit before resorting to a clue, and even then took another couple of minutes to find, placed somewhere we'd already searched. Signed log quickly and continued to watch the action unfold on the water
My GPSr took me right to the cache, but I still couldn't find it without a paf, I swear I looked there! Oh well that's caching for you.
A young family was at GZ, so I explained what I was up to, and gave them the geocaching spiel, maybe they will try it? Thanks TB, and room for lots more here.

Did this one with Purple143, as she grabbed it before I did. Took us a while though, plenty of families taking a slow walk or ride by. Didnt mind us as we soaked up the glorious sun.TFTC
