Find #: 3,684Companions: NoneMuggles: NoneWeather: Warm if windy winter morningCache condition: GoodAfter running the Werrington Lakes parkrun I decided to find some nearby caches, given I am not often in this area. The area was quiet, so beyond the "you're under constant surveillance!" signs (they could have come and helped?) I was able to search in peace, and it didn't take too long to get CIH - TNLNSL TFTC

I had two attempts to looking for a cache. Found it. Thank you

Thank you logs for helping me find this !! Didnt have my pen

We are on another short (three day) caching holiday in Western Sydney and the Blue Mountains, staying for two nights in a park cabin at the Ingenia Nepean River BIG4 Holiday Park at Emu Plains. Hoping to collect the new Adventure Labs, Letterbox, Traditional, and Puzzle/Mystery caches that have appeared around Penrith & surrounds since our last visit to the area back in May 2023. Will also be returning to the lower Blue Mountains for some new caches and to attend a Winter Solstice Event at Mount Riverview, and a Post Winter Solstice CITO Event the following day at Cranebrook. Photos will be uploaded to logs on our return to home base. This was the 17th of 21 finds for the day (day 2), and 28th find of the holiday.After completing a SideTracked MultiCache at Ropes Creek we next came to this Traditional cache at North St Marys. Arrived at GZ and was initially looking on the wrong side of the driveway, but then switched sides and after a bit of a scratch around we soon had CIH. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found. It's nice and quiet here on a Saturday afternoon, but suspect it could get quite busy on a weekday. TFTC glenNally.Find #6878

I found it thanks

Didnt find it this time, but not much time as I was on a work break it was across the road

Took some time but eventually found, need dig around a little

Near the low and slow really cool and fun but hard

Our second attempt at finding this one we finally got it, first time we looked drove us insane. Look low along the fence line

Second time round, we finally found it! Look low and dig!

Going to have to log this as a dnf. Ill return with reinforcements another dayThere are tradeworks at GZ not sure if the cache may have been disturbed

My stubbornness got the better of me. Sat in the car to rehydrate and read logsThe logs help more that the clueWent Back and found immediately Great hideTftc

Quick find by geo-pop and the kids. Found with itsharry084. TFTC

With emeebee

A fairly quick find by Sue. Good coords and logical placement. TFTC glenNally

Very quick find but only because of the logs, digging is required. TFTC!

Searched at gz for a long time, eventually found it, hint helped but mainly logs helped tftc

Its one of those hides where one can find out by checking previous logs. Ah well, a little success nonetheless

TFTC Look low

Great hiding spot.
Nearly left.
TFTC

Thought it was taken, digging needed. Previous logs helped.

TFTC!

Find # 9381
Nice quick find after moving some natural camo with my foot.

Past comments were very helpful, found it straight away.

It was hidden really well but eventually found it )

Nice one

After a lot of searching and reading past logs, finally found it. Ive been meaning to tick this one off the list for a long time now. Thanks for the smiley. Been replaced and tucked away hidden from muggles. Lots of loose leaf matter around so some digging required.

Gotcha thanks

Was hidden good

Took a fair while but finally found, thanks to previous activity mentioning there was no need to enter private property. Replaced the log with the only paper I had on me. My son had fun with the bugs nearby

A quick unplanned trip to Penrith today in support of some very good friends. After the official part of the day some catching up at st Mary's and then time for a few caches on the way home.

Third time lucky bus driver wasn’t impressed when he pulled up

When I went looking yesterday I saw two frogs

TFTC , 2nd time lucky. After reading a few logs, got the idea where to look this time. Log is full and unwritable, sending pix to CO as POF.

quick find

Found yesterday - logging today!
Nice easy find. Log is really wet.

Thanks for the cache

Sneaky ground placement

YAY second time lucky. TFTC

Being as it was Saturday afternoon I was not expecting any traffic in this industrial zone. Actually looks like somewhere locals come to learn to drive.
I don't know the area at all and as I approached the street I thought I was heading for a bus came along which I thought was lucky and I would follow it. It didn't turn so I went off on my own and eventually found myself in a deserted section and the GPS pinged.
For me the co-ordinates were quite good and I quickly spotted the cache which was hidden in a familiar way. Signed the log and then spent way too long trying to get it back in the container. Sometimes it happens.

Now how to find my way back to the coast???

Took longer then it should have. TFTC

Found it.

Found!!

Looked near the wrong middle post at first. TFTC

In town on business for a few days. Grabbed a few nearby caches w/ my coworker. This one took longer than it should have. Found it in the end, a bit off on the coords as previous finders also mentioned. TFTC!

Location is off, but found it

Almost gave up, well hidden.

found!

Tftc. Quick find by Mrs Jaybeem today.

Lots of leaves everywhere but eventually found it!! Wasn’t easy!

Almost left without finding but then read old activity and found within minutes! The guard dog was lovely

DNF

Ticking off some random smileys as I detoured on my way to visit family, wasn’t sure of the title’s inspiration as I signed the quickly found log. Crouched down to replace the camo then stood to be startled by a huge bus turning out of the driveway. Oh yeah, there’s the theme!

Ocw oldmorty nice and early again
Quick park and grab
Thanks for the cache

Out for another epic days caching with marj01; this time around Erskine Park, Orchard Hills, Kingswood, St Marys and Ropes Creek, suburbs that I would never have visited if I wasn't for geocaching. We found lots of caches; mainly nanos, minties and a few small sistemas plus a good old ammo can.
 
A big thank you to all the CO's who placed and maintain these caches.

This one eluded me last time, but thanks to previous logs I made a quick find today.

Found with BrodyT2010

TFTC with Pulloa. Low on the fenceline

Found it! Look low near the fence line.- good camo

Quick find. Tree nearby has been popped and a lot of mess around.

I had the coord being a few metres out so after reading some logs I made the find. TFTC!

A quick find here today while out at St. Marys, thanks.

??

Found it! Tftc

Look for natural camouflage

Nice find with opspagate

Found at 10:16hrs. I have been here many times but either DNF'd or got muggled out. Firstly my GPS had me on the other side of the driveway, I then went back to where the big blue and white stand-alone sign is (and the hint indicates you should be). I resumed the search... Nothing.

Finally I read CO's comment from 07/06/2014 - thanks for that glenNally . Had CIH, signed log and returned as found. I placed a rock over it for camo. TFTC

Tricky Cache had to read previous posts.
TFTC

Tftc - found the buses by driving down the driveway. Oops - reverse, turn, park, find, outer here........

TFTC Thank you for going to the effort of hiding this cache. You have shown us a new place and have helped make geocaching an enjoyable activity.

Found hard to find but after a good look we found the cashe well done small but awesome dates back to 2005

Took a while to find very nice hide with scoutboy97

TFTC

Find count: 274

Just a short day out and about to kill some time and continue increasing the find count.

We pulled up here, and wondered where the buses were. No such luck finding the buses.

A quick search didn't locate anything of value, but with a quick PAF, the hunt moved a few metres away and within seconds the cache was then found. Why did we not look here before phoning?

The following TBs and Geocoins helped with the search to find the hidden cache:
* Miniature Itsonlybarney
* GeocachingNSW 2016 Geocoin
* GeocachingNSW 2017 Geocoin
* Geocache Talk Geocoin
* Planetary Pursuit Micro Geocoin
* Geocoin Club Jan 2015 - Rescue Coin
* Geocoin Club May 2018 - Blodeuwedd
* OzGeomuster 2018 Geocoin
* Col Miner HAVOC Geocoin

Took a little while. Looked in the wrong spot. Geokid was getting distracted by the wheels on the hydrant. A quick PAF so that geobaby wouldn't wake up while looking. CIH. Added more paper for log, signed and returned.

Cache find No. 2483
Streak Day: 912

Found early on a Saturday morning after dropping Snoopy1976 and friends at the station. TFTC

After searching for about 15 minutes and educating a friendly man coming into the business about geo caching and that I’m not crazy I had made a find - I needed a clue to make the find as it was hidden as a previous cacher had tried to cover it from plain sight, the log is very full but I found a small spot - TFTC glenNally, I really enjoyed it!

Finally found this one after scrolling back and reading all of the previous notes...Hubby came up trumps with the find in the end. TFTC

Red herrings, redbacks, near red, kind of... no busses... keep searching... oh, duh! TFTC

Logged on 12 March 2019. After conducting an audit with Mr MR of caches found in the area I discovered I'd forgotten to log this one, which we found after work on 30 October 2017.

Finally, after all these years we decided to grab this one, dropping by after work.

Nice one, thanks glenNally.

Couldn't see any old sign apart from what business is there now ..... been told the sign has been taken down by owner
I'll have to come back for another look when I'm in the area again! It it's still there

Nice hide!

Found this cache the second time around, didn't sign it because it was full, but all good thanks for the cache glenNally

TFTC!

Log book is full please replace

Found today with LovelyLadyLocks TFTC

After finding a cache of the day we didn't want to stop there although the sun was going down. This one was quite visible, l'm not sure where the farmers friends have gone (l suspect they have been cleared) and the cache could be seen from the kerb. Tried to camo with a rock nearby. TFTC =)

After looking all around every, stood there, having a scan a round, I saw it. That shinny thing. Tftc.

This was made tricky by GZ being on the concrete driveway, but I searched nearby - the tree, the sign, the plumbing and under the concrete slab, the fence, but it was a DNF. I gave up after being asked what I was doing there; satisfying that person and then having another person sitting in a car watching me.

With the hint in a few recent logs and the CO's hint from 2014 there were only two choices and the first came up trumps.
