Oh well, I suppose my geocaching capabilities aren’t up to scratch for this one just yet.
Scoured GZ and couldn’t find it. Then muggles appeared above and I was out. Another time perhaps.
Nearly gave up after cycling from Blacktown via the city and North Ryde. check all closer, then ventured further up and over and checked all and felt it. Bango! CIH! Many thanks to the CO Snoopy1967 for establishing and maintaining this cache.
Second time here, but despite crawling all over and under metal staircase, could not find it.
I feel very concerned when doing that on what I would consider to be private land.
Maybe, some other time!

Arrived at GZ to see an Open House in progress.
Dodged the overflowing bins to make a quick find away from muggle eyes

Hey guys I'm pretty sure it's been taken, searched everywhere for the past hour with my girlfriend with no luck... let me know
Having to visit my wife in Westmead Hospital with a broken ankle, made a quick detour to search for this one.
Not having a lot of spare time, only made a cursory search, but did not find it.
Hopefully will come back again and do a better search.

Found with Coybear2000. We were in the area so we decided to give this one a try. We had GZ to ourselves so we started looking. It wasn't too long before we had CIH. As we were signing the log a muggle came to the area, so we waited until he'd gone before we replaced things. TFTC
Out with Trodecus and in the local area. Parked across from GZ, after short search CIH. Log signed and returned. TFTC
Back on the road to complete my mission. Pity it wasn't a park and grab, but had to park around the corner TFTC
Went out with goingplaces2 to find a few caches. Managed to find some street parking up the road. Walked to GZ and found the cache after a short search. We both signed the log and replaced the cache as found. Thank you Snoopy1976 for placing this cache.
Today was a beautiful day to go out and do some caching with Phantom Cyclist. We hesitated at the area of this hide as it sort of had a not public place kind of feel. However, we went in anyway and soon had the cache in hand. After doing the job as needed we were happy to wander back to the geo vehicle. Thanks to Snoopy1976 for putting the cache into play.
Once grandies were off to school was free from little eyes! TFTC First one in Aussie. Go the All Blacks

**Had a free day today, and not wanting to waste it, I was in the area caching with Ali600. Nice quick and easy find. No bison tube, I'm a GC Cacher ONLY.**

Out and about for a friend...with some time to spare beforehand, I picked up a few caches. TFTC
#670 found this one while out in Westmead area a quick find. Signed log & replaced. Picked up the GA cache so no longer there. Thanks for the cache Snoopy1976
Great team work from our geocache family. Visiting nana and pa around the corner and have spied this cache for a couple of months. Great to visit eventually.
On our tour today we also stopped here and found this one quickly. Nice view and nice bins.......
Thank you

Team Omam from the Netherlands has only one aunt left. And as she will have her 100th birthday early February, we decided to join the birthday party. But …., she lives in Sydney Australia! An excellent opportunity for us to explore this continent once again and find Geocaches along the way. We will do a 3.5 weeks trip! At places where we will stay for a few days (Melbourne, Canberra, Sydney and Darwin), we will organize Meet and Greet events. We will try to find mainly caches with high favorite points, caches from 2000 and 2001, earth caches, webcam caches, virtuals and letter box hybrids.
Nice find on my way home after a 11 hour shift at work. Best way to relax. TFTC. #65
Back to this cache on my birthday for a very early morning appointment at Westmead with the Geokids and Team Merlin. Knowing now what to find we will keep looking for the correct cache as per the
Geocache description. We approached this cache form a different direction this time and quickly located our prize having cache in hand and we were not distracted by the magnetic bison GCA cache at this location which was not the cache.
I am glad to tick this cache off our list. We signed the log and returned as found. The log and container were in good condition.

What better way to celebrate JJCC's birthday than to cache
Returning for our third attempt (DNF on the first attempt followed by a find of a GSA moveable cache on our second visit) we returned again for an early morning JJCC geokid dental visit and cache check. This time we approach from a different direction and looking at new angles we quickly located our prize and had the cache in hand.
Signed the cache log we returned the thin black cache container to its hide position. Both the log and container are in great condition. TFTC Snoopy1976...relieved that we can finally tick this cache off our DNF list.

In Westmead today for an appointment and decided to find a cache in the area to satisfy today's find to continue our streak. Found the cache but on reading the Geochache description I have to log a do not find as I located a magnetic bison GCA cache at this location which was not the cache.
I will be back to find this cache as I now know that this was not the correct one.

Quick find one of the first times I have seen one of these containers a little worse for wear. Tftn
While geohubbie was at Westmead having his broken elbow confirmed (wear a sling, don't move it too much and take painkillers), the geokids and I decided to go hunting. Loved the wee gnome.

This was my first one. I found what indeed was very small and magnetic but it wasn't black. It had yellow in it and there was no log book
I found it but it wasn't black?? There was no log book either very fun! My first time and I stuck it out to the end lol.
Way back in 1991 I lived for about a year in the hospital staff quarters across the road. Everything else here is completely unrecognisable! The shopping centre, the flats, none of it was here, not even the private hospital where I was visiting a friend. The staff quarters however, look like they may well not even have been vacuumed in the last twenty five years! I was tempted to knock on the door of my old flat to admire it's lovely seventies decor one more time.
Thanks for the cache and the trip down memory lane.

Had to park in the shops across the road as there was no parking nearby on a weekday. Easy find just a few steps away from the bustle.
18/4/15. 1:24 PM. Cache #2424. Streak day #300 (2nd time I have achieved this milestone - hopefully I will break my 350 day record soon).
The cache is black and magnetic. It says so in the description, not even hidden in the hint. So when I got here and looked in the first hiding spot I could think of, I found something that was cache-like but DID NOT fit this description. It even matched the photos from a few recent logs. Then I read Noodles22's log and suspected that what I had in my hands was in fact a GCA trackable. It is - it's called 'Nisse'. It was moved here by Kunama. So: since Kunama's visit, some of the cachers that have logged finds against Bridge Road Bustle haven't actually found it, they found Nisse.
I put it back and then searched a bit further for BRB. I found it a few minutes later in a location that felt a bit too much like private property for my liking. As expected, it was black and magnetic. I signed this log too, and replaced it. Back to the car; time for one more cache at "Knox's Box". TFTC } : )

Very easy, I had CIH in seconds.
Thank you the nice easy cache snoopy, nice to get an easy one every so often..

I had to take YGAT to Westmead Hospital to visit an uncle and decided to attempt a couple of caches while I was waiting. After driving away from the hospital, I pulled over to check for nearby hides and this one was just across the road! It was a quick find but I felt a little uneasy in this location.

I had a first aid course to attend in Parramatta, so to avoid the parking and transport woes I parked the car in Toongabbie and headed down Darcy road by bike. This of course brought me close to this cache so a quick detour was made. On arrival I realised I'd forgotten my GPS so I rang Geohubby back home. With great team work he brought up the cache on the iPad at home and read me the instructions and clue. I quickly had CIH and continued the trip through Parramatta Park on a beautiful sunny morning.

Good to cross this off dnf list. How we missed it last time beats me. Tftc SL
I had attempted to find this cache before but couldn't find a parking spot.
I had luck today. I checked the usual spots and in the first place, there it was! I opened the log book and saw otherwise. Hang on, this was a moveable GA cache. A little bit more of searching and then I had the proper cache.
Thanks for the hunt.

Nice easy find that we have been meaning to get for a long time! No pen so we took a photo. TFTC!!!
A no show for me - 'climbed' over fence looking for something black and magnetic, even searched for a camo log, but none to be found. Hopefully cache hasn't been muggled.

The traffic was unbelievably good this arvo and I found myself having over half an hour to kill prior to my appointment... What else to do but grab some caches! Wondered about muggles watching me but I'm pretty sure I was right. That's the easiest brick wall I've ever clambered over!

Thank goodness I didn't have to go putting fingers where I couldn't see - there are many spiderwebs!
Log dry. Replaced bag as it had holes. Left tiny shell. Keep an eye out for residents coming to throw out rubbish.

My boyfriend and my first geocache find. We needed a few hints to help us out but we found it
Thanks For The Cache Snoopy1976, full log to follow. Made it trickier than it should have been!
Was on the way home from visiting my Mum at the hospital and did a quick search on my phone and found this was on my way home. Made my way to GZ and got a parking spot very close made the short walk over and after reading the description I had a fair idea of what i was looking for had a quick look and soon had cache in hand log was ok nearly full and a little damp but was ok to write on. Thanks Snoopy for the cache
#6 geogirlfriend and I returned to this cache the second time for a quick find. It gave us trouble be before as it was our first ever cache and didn't really know what we were looking for
In the area visiting family for the day
Have wanted to do this one for a long time and today the time was right.
Further back off the road than I was expecting but quickly found.
