TFTC and thanks to the people in the logs with the extra hints. i spent about 10 minutes searching in 30 sun and and hints def saved me from significantly longer!

TFTC

Used previous finds as a hint and went to the spot. Could not for the life of me find it. Previous posts indicate it may not be there.

28km marathon training run, grabbing geocaches along the way to break it up. Nice opportunity to sit and take a breath. TFTC

Thanks - our first find!! Appreciate the logsdont think wed have got it otherwise!

Found. Good hide. Thanks for the tips in the logs.

Checked cache after last log. The cache is intact and in place. (The lid found in the last log was from the previous cache that had fallen apart - thanks for tidying up!).

We just found the lid of what looks like a grey camo eclipse tin - the tin itself I think is gone

Found it with @kallaroo66 after 20 mins of searching we only found with a little help from the logs tftc

Found it although I wouldnt have without the helpful logs the spot but it was sooo hard. TFTC!!!

Thanks! Tricky to find but got there in the end. Watch out for spiders

I replaced the cache container as time and the elements had taken their toll and the lid had fallen off. New container in same place. Log only.

Photos certainly helped! In good condition. Thanks for the view.

We have a love/hate relationship with caches on bridges. Sometimes they are easily found, and at other times the can be annoyingly invisible. Reading past logs assisted with this find. Thanks Pyobeon.

Thanks Pyobeon. Health check...container old but still good...log brand spanking and super dry

Bus stop is utterly deserted on a Saturday morning.
Easy find.
SL, TFTC

Quick check shows cache still in place

This geocache was no where to be seen. Either it was hidden too well or someone has taken it.

Too many muggles at the bus stops staring at me so I left this cache go this time haha

Had walked passed here a few times after getting off the bus but too many people around I thought to attempt. Tonight after getting back late from a friends birthday on the city it was dead quiet. It took me a while to find as was looking in the wrong place first. Thanks.

Replaced log (#5). Pen wasn’t working so removed it but didn’t have a replacement - so byo pencil for a while. Please replace cache exactly where it was - this protects it from the elements somewhat.

Easy

Found it with help of the clues! Paper is very disintegrated, needs a new log but was fun to find!

Had to look twice very fun

struggled a bit but was fine in the end

Found after a short search, but too wet to sign. Thanks for the cache Pyobeon

If not for the summary of hints by seecache7 I would have been searching for this cache for a very long time. Now it was quite easy.
TFTC Pyobeon.

On a big ride into the city, found thanks to a helpful spoiler hint below, thanks for the cache!

#40! After spending over an hour several months ago looking for this with no luck, we decided to go back and try again. We read a few previous posts and within a minute had it in our hand. Tin getting a bit rusty and log starting to fray but still dry. Thank you very much for this clever cache.

Do not read on if you do not want a summary of the hints below:

To save people time scrolling through the years of posts, if you get stuck the key hints are below to ensure you're not stuck too long as it's not the most picturesque of places...

-GZ marker is a couple of metres off.
-It's on the bridge and you need to walk to the top.
-If you're really stuck take a seat on the top stair, sit to the right, and look down at the bus stop
-If you're right handed you're within arms reach..
-Most importantly you do not need to do anything dangerous!

All the best and thanks again!

Found after awhile of looking I took a risk of a spider and felt it in my hand

My first cache in years after randomly stumbling across one on Helen Street (just a log and pen on a wall called bush turkey playground) . Found this only with the help of clues in the comments. TFTC - it’s good to be back!

No luck

Second attempt, unfortunately did not find. Thanks to Pyobeon for the hint, we took it in mind, but still no luck.

Couldn’t tell where it was. A hint would be helpful.

TFTC

Ive driven under the footbridge so many times but never had a reason to stop and walk over it.
After parking up on Willandra St i headed down the path to the GZ.
I got lucky and located the cache in the second spot i checked.
After signing duties were completed I continued on and went for a rather pleasant walk.
Thanks.

A run up the stairs gives a great excuse to sit at the top of them. Kipp Tourmaline xx

Was looking on the wrong level first. Don’t think the GOMs will like that container though. TFTC

Wondered why this was still disabled... and realised that I needed to click on "enable"!

I think that last note should have been "Owner Maintenance". But before posting an owner maintenance note now, I ventured out in a break in the rain, and it's still there, still in plain sight, still easily reachable, and most remarkably pretty dry.

Pyobeon

This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).

I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.


Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache.

If you plan on repairing this cache, please log a note to the cache (not email) within the next 30 days so I don't archive the listing for non-communication.

After seeing those DNFs on the 10th I checked it on the 17th and everything is fine. The last activity posted is my note that I checked it and all is ok.

I checked today after a few DNFs and cache is where it should be.

God this place smells bad ((

Another unfortunate dnf

Having solved The Matrix I decided to ignore the weather and try to hit 190 finds today. This was a quick find for me TFTC. #188

Logged with [GCDroid](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gcdroid).

Checked and it’s still there - in plain view, if you stand in the right place, look in the right direction and are not fooled by the camouflage.

I didn’t spend too much time on this one since it hasn’t been found since January, but my quick search came out fruitless.

Nope not today

Quick find with Deep_99 to keep the streak going. SL #4355 on streak day #2740 TFTC

found with Ris768 for the daily cache

Thanks Pyobeon for placing this cache

Log 2212 Streak Day 1100

Fairly pain free here. Tftc

Today we were out on the caching trail to find the last of the clues, and to then start collecting some gemstones, for the "Mystery at the Museum" cache challenge. Visited Lane Cove (West & North), then Lindfield, and then finished off with one final cache at Killara. This was the 1st of 10 finds for the day.

Parked the geomobile at the end of Willandra Street, then took the pathway down to the pedestrian over bridge, which we then used to reach GZ on the other side of busy Epping Road. And it turned out to be a surprisingly quick find, considering the many possible options that this sort of place can present. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found. TFTC Pyobeon.

Find #3275

Checked cache - still in place.

TFTC

A warm day OCW Oldmorty around the Lane Cove River area and our first stop was here. Found the sneaky hide once at the correct altitude and then realised why the cache was named. TFTC!

OCW morty8888 who had the bulk of the finds today. Thanks to a previous log it was soon CIH. TFTC Pyobeon.

A great view of a busy road. Hints in the previous comments helped find it

Honing in on GZ the type of cache I was looking for was obvious, but the number of possible locations was daunting. Got the little guy in the end.

Found on second visit. Had to sit for a while before it revealed itself. Now it is in my hot little right hand.

On the way to have a final check of our orienteering map and thought we would have another go at this one. Geo wife found it. No muggles anywhere. A good hide.

Found

Nice hide, kind of sneaky.

Thank you Pyobeon.

Nice better in the light to find

Much easier than "Down Under Up and Under Under"! TFTC Pyobean

Good clues to an easy find. TFTC

Thanks for the cache

Good hints. TFTC

I quite like urban caches, after a short search I found this one.

#2007
After an early morning kayak from Bobbin Head to Cottage Point followed by plenty of time in the pool on this hot day, it was approaching dinner time when I suddenly realised I had not been out for my daily cache. With this being one of the closest to home, I aimed the car in this direction, parking in Wilandra St. Then it was up and over and around and around before I put my hand on it. Took almost as long to get the log out. Then quickly SL, replaced and headed for home, still managing to grab dinner before it got cold.
TFTC Pyobeon

Was a bit tentative about this one - exposed urban caches are not really my favourite kind! Had a read back through some previous logs, and looked at a picture or two which helped to narrow down the search area / altitude. Had a sit and a feel around (really need to remember my caching gloves next time!), and struck gold on about the 4th spot (gotta get lucky sometimes!). Managed to sign the log and replace just in time before another city-to-suburbs-bound bus set down a group of passengers. TFTC!

A damp, late night wasn't going to break my streak at 61days, but I was in no hurry to stumble into the bush in the middle of the night.
So I was looking for an urban (ish) cache that was likely to be muggle free on a Saturday night.
Fortunately this matched the goal.
I was slightly worried by some of the logs that suggested the find might be a little tricky, but luckily I seemed to have the same ideas about hiding caches as the co. After a quick look around the gz, I looked where I would have put it and success.
My biggest issue turned out to be removing the log front the container. It was however, dry despite the recent weather.
Tftc.

Nice and easy thanks to previous hints

Thank you

Found it - previous clues and photos made this a quick find

Previously logged under team account BoogieRogue. Re-logging with my individual account. Lots of places to hide this one so it took a while to find. After reading previous logs I finally was able to locate it. TFTC

TFTC!

Found on second attempt.

Found with "what would king do" and a noobie TFTC

A quick lunch time find With team Gregggy & newby to geocaching TFTC

The co-ords and description narrowed the search area down to a particular location, but even so there are many places where a cache could be hidden. A systematic search was required, and after a short time probing likely places I soon felt the cache move under my hand. Bingo!

A quick find with the hint

#257
I've been looking at these two for some weeks and wondering where to park to access this and Down Under Up & Under Under.
I decided that the end of Moore Street looked like a good spot, as it turned out the was a handy path that led to Sam Johnson Way and therefore Epping Rd. as I neared GZ there were a few muggles waiting at the nearby bus stop and a couple of them using the over bridge, so stealth and timing was imperative.
I had an idea on where I might need to look and it didn't take long to discover the cache. I completed the signing duties and returned the cache to its hiding spot inconspicuously.
While on the overpass you could easily see the approaching storm front making is way over Sydney. I'd best hurry to get my way to Down Under Up & Under under.

We looked everywhere and couldn't locate this one

Was so hard to find. It's was 40 degrees but we were determined. Hint near the stairs

Thanks for the pictures everyone it helped me find it with ease

Find #: 1,345
Companions: None
Muggles: Lots of cars, a few pedestrians
Weather: Damp winter's morning
Container Condition: Fine

My daughter had a birthday party nearby, and rather than head home for a short period decided to use the time to go caching. After finding this cache's sibling I headed along the bush-path and was soon at GZ. I had an idea of the location based on the cache's name, but of course mis-interpreted slightly, so was altitudinally-misaligned, until I eventually decided to try alternate options, which led me to the right spot. I signed and replaced the log, then headed back to my car (harder than it needed to be, as I was parked on Moore St, with a hard-to-find path next to Orion Rd) and back to pick up my daughter. TFTC

Trific

Doing the prep makes for easy find. Thanks

Hunted around again but still no find.

Tool ages but dad found it. TFTC
.

This could have been like looking for a needle in a hay stack but I was lucky today, it was in the second place I looked.

On to its twin cache now

Tftc

Looked all over and under, felt here there and every where but no find today for this little blighter.

Great hide, I spent like 1hr and 40 minutes with Mattmonster10. The magnets are still there but the bag was broken when I got into the case, needs a new bag.

TFTC

Went with Hedgy77. Took forever to find but finally found it.

#569 - Garmin eTrex 30

This was the only find for the day. I was keen to find this cache as it filled in a missing date on my dates hidden calendar. I had been the general vicinity lots of times previously for other caches but never managed to grab this one. Despite the rain, I needed a find for the day and given it was an urban one, there was little chance of getting muddy. I worked out a safe place to park my car and made my way to GZ. I had an idea of what to look for so I checked a few spots without luck. I decided to sit to have little rest and managed to read some past logs. One of them really jumped out as I was able to reach out and grab the cache. The log is still dry and everything is in good condition. SL. TFTC.
