Another fantastic piece of Sydney discovered through geocaching. Beautiful place thank you, nice hide too.
TFTC! Well camouflaged and a tricky little findtook a little bit of courage at the end. Great location for a bit of exploring
Lovely spot. Dropping TB Pete the Puffer Fish. Noted that this logbook has a pencil too. But previous finder didn't write - very strange . SL, Replaced as found,TFTC Pyobeon
A nice short hike here after 1.5 hours of bouldering. Fingers were aching but this cache had some very cool swag. Shame I didnt have any swaps. Great views. TFTC

Quick few caches around this park before heading home for the Mathilda's game against France. A good find on a beautiful spot along Lane Cover river.

This is a nice place to sit and relax. Unfortunately, when I went to replace the cache today, that was what someone was doing. Oh well, I can extend the walk and come back. After all, how long can you spend here relaxing? Seems like the answer is quite a long time! Cache not replaced but made two visits to within 10m of where it should be. I think it is likely to be two weeks before I can try again.
After two DNFs I went looking for it and was unsuccessful. To be honest, I am not quite sure where I hid it. It's been 12 years, and I don't think this cache has required maintenance before! I'll aim to replace it in the next few weeks.
Wow this is easily the longest I have searched for a 1 litre systema container and not found it. Climbed up and down the rocks and the dog was so sick of me walking around and around in circles
Cool spot on the river though

Quick and easy traditional cache find in a scenic location after a very pleasant stroll through the reserve; it was a lovely spot to sit and take it all in. Thanks Pyobeon for the cache
Found after looking extensively 20m away accidently... Got there in the end, what a lovely spot!
Took a while to get to GZ, but got there eventually. Nice nonwaterleaked container and cool spot - favourite point added. TFTC
First find for the day while the eldest geo-kid played AFL at the oval. Stunning spot! TFTC
This cache was found today and brings our overall cache find tally to 10705.
Today was a trip to Sydney to pick up caches in a few council areas that I hadn’t cached in over the years. I planned and had some backups but as the day went on I changed my plans due to time. This was a great way to start the day and whilst I was initially concerned that there was someone sitting on the rock at the point I could still make a find outside of their view.
Thanks Pyobeon for the cache.

I’d hoped to be the only one walking at sunset through the bush, and have a clear GZ for my search.
Unfortunately there was a profusion of muggles, both walking, and sitting together watching the sunset over the water.
Luckily the different levels and relatively thick bush between us allowed me to get to the GZ unobserved.
The find was eventually made after checking many different possible spots.
Tftc and the lovely location, it’s clear why so many would wish to be here around sun down.

Nice one! My son found a dinosaur, something that he was trying to find!!
Of course we leave something else
Thanks

A lovely walk through this reserve with the geodog. Near GZ I got the GPS to within 5m then ventured lower than I needed to. Geodog had more sense than me an d guessed not to go too low. Finally found the right level after tempting death a few times. Well hidden and well protected from the elements. Nice views across the river from GZ. TFTC
My middle son and I escaped from the eldest son's rep cricket game to make this lovely find. I've never been down here before. TFTC.
TFTC from the KayakViking.
I reasonably quick find once I had clambered down to the track from the upper road.
Cheers

Great cache. Looked for ages. No need to go down to the edge but it is nice, very slippery though. Lots of sea animals to look at. TFTC
A classic bush hide in a place well worth visiting. The co-ords are spot on and I found it straight away. Dropped the "LA Zombie (Hunter) Come Home! " trackable.
Managed to pick this one up on a run this morning, nice to stop and take in the scenery Saw a key word in a previous log which took me straight to it.

After logging the nearby Johnny B cache i walked along the path to the GZ for this one.
Due to the on again/off again showers all day the rocks were a bit slippery.
At first i ended up searching in a couple of places that looker promising but it was only after i reoriented myself that i ended up locating the container.
The log is dry which is more than i can say about myself at the moment.
Thanks.

A lovely walk down to the water and then a short search uncovered the cache.

Rowers. Eights, singles, a few doubles. Lots of rowers. None of them, as far as I could tell, looked in my direction as I searched for the cache. It was early, and it was a cool morning. The river was so still, apart from the rowers. Apart from a kookaburra, I didn't see any birds, but I could hear several species in the bush around me.
I found the cache quite quickly. The coords seemed just right to me.
XN SL. TFTC!

Located at 8:51am. #734. Gryphon Hidden Creature Souvenir achieved. I can confirm that this cache is in existence still. After logging the nearby Johnny B, it was only a short walk along some incredibly picturesque bushland to where I made out GZ and had CIH. I’m on my way to the OzGeoMuster Road Tour Event in the city but wanted some finds before reaching my destination. Many thanks Pyobeon for this hide. Спасибо! תודה! L’chaim! TFTC!
A very hard cache in rough terrain for elderly ladies especially. After 20 mins of searching has to log a DNF . Not enough clues or hints
After a tough walk, lovely views but infortunely no cache. Searched for some time .

Out for my daily find and thought I would avoid Pennant Hills Rd today. I enjoyed the walk down from the road and glimpses across the Lane Cove River. Even got to do a little scrambling and exploring near GZ. After signing the log, did a bit more exploring, taking a slightly different track back to the car.

It took me a while to find this cache as it was well hidden in an area with many possible places to hide. In fact I looked at the spot once without finding the cache, but went back and found it the second time.
Found a travel bug which originated in Italy. Lets see if we can help its travels.

Previously logged under team account BoogieRogue. Re-logging with my individual account. Made short work of this cache. Loved the view and tranquillity of the place. TFTC

Today we headed over to Lane Cove West, with a stopoff at Riverview on the way, to collect some caches around the suburb. This was the 5th of 9 finds, and 3 DNF's for the day.
After finding "Johnny B Starts With Me" we continued following the bush track down to this one. Quickly spotted the hide and had CIH. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found. It's a nice view up the Lane Cove River from GZ. TFTC Pyobeon.

This one was a bit tougher terrain than expected! We had come here before to pick up another cache, and must have run out of time for this one. However today we came for the sole purpose of doing this one, and can't say we were well-prepared shoes wise! However we eventually found it, and sat on a nearby rock and looked at the view whilst signing the log. Tftc!
We love this track along the River.
Grean Views and so quiet early in the morning.
Thanks for giving me a reason for coming this way again.

I saw this cache was not far out of the way on the way home tonight. The ground is very wet with all the rain we've had over the past week.
Finally got to what looked like a real track to follow. I noticed an old sign warning boats of High Voltage power lines over head. The sign was no longer visible to the water anymore as the mangroves have grown big and the sign was saying 40ft clearance, that's old school imperial measurements. I followed the path along the water to GZ and found the cache in an area that seemed to most sensible. As I Signed the log a boat with rowers came past. What a great view.

Found it, lovely spot, followed a Water Dragon right to GZ. I have a feeling it may have seen people searching before

I must really come back here often to explore the area in more detail. It's really beautiful up here. I didn't have much time, so it was mostly a quick dash to the cache along very pleasant paths. There are some large termite nests up in the trees along the way -- not something I've seen before.
It was a quick find at GZ, and I had a few minutes to enjoy the view over the water. Two paddlers in kayaks came past, too. After signing the log I left my signature small wire dog in the container and returned everything to the hiding spot.

Lovely little walk and great GZ. Found the cache safe and well and took the TB. Peaceful views...if you ignore the distant traffic Another worth while stop along this great stretch of river. Cheers!
Wandering down from chatswood along stringy bark creek then along the lane cove river. Took a bit of a scramble to log this one. Dropped off Homer Traveling Coin. Beautiful spot. Thanks for bringing us here
Took a bit of bunting around. But found in a precarious spot so was quick to sign in.
Our first of 5 finds today with the geofriend. We parked on penrose street and bushbashed a little before finding the path we were supposed to be on. After a nice little walk we arrived at GZ and after a little looking I made the find. Great view, tftc!
