Replaced too often- time to go.
May be problematic with new construction taking place also.

Caching with oldmorty on our way down the mountains.
This was a little tricky with the constant flow of cars and pedestrians.
Mission accomplished. Cache replaced.

OCW frazeydaze. On the way back to Sydney after a break at Blackheath we stopped off here for a quick park and grab. TFTC WaywardWoman
Found today after doing WALLS GALORE for our 4000th cache! Nice spot.

Heading home after a big weekend, we've opted for the long way through Winmalee and Richmond. Samuel spotted this one quickly, no problems.... TFTC!

Not planning on replacing this at the moment, due to the current 'essential travel only' information still in place. I will check and re-enabled once allowed.
I checked the cache as I walkef past to the shop this morning. It's definitely gone. I won't replace it until this virus is over now.
No luck finding in what should have been a pretty obvious location, especially with the photo attached.
Came to Windsor today to do the Lab adventure and then move on to Glenbrook to do another one. Really enjoy the labs lately, but of course can't resist if there is anything else that turns up along the way. Mostly quick found traditionals today.

We spent the day caching with Geobrother (Dogwood 53), well at least until it got too hot in the afternoon when we retired hurt. Managed to find a multi which had alluded us for some time, but unfortunately we ended with a DNF. All in all a very pleasant day. Easy little park and grab. The cache is in good condition, signed and replaced. TFTC
Out for a day of caching with geobrother (Forereach) to tackle some of the middle mountain caches. Despite being in a high muggle zone we soon located the cache, signed the log and left the scene without being questioned.
Stopped in here on the way down to Springwood Community Workshop on Emergencies. Thanks.
Visiting my sister in Winmalee and was stoked to find one here at the shopping centre. A bit hard to be discreet with lots of cars around. A muggle may have seen me… Probably had no clue what I was up to... TFTC!
Quick stop off here and lo and behold, there’s a a cache 25m away! Found pretty easily which was fortunate as a ton of muggles here. TFTC
Wool socks, Tights, jeans, 2x shirts, wool jumper, puffy vest, beanie (hoodie in the car, just in case)... ready to brave the vicious winter wind which is only getting stronger as the day goes by.
I will always wonder why people need to take a whole lot page, or not use the back of a log page?

After I found this cache I headed inside for a coffee and b&e roll. Shortly after I ordered an alarm sounded, safety me thought "evacuation alarm" but no one else responded, I'd already paid and planned take away to carry on caching, I thought "maybe just a drill". The alarm continued and as my order was placed in my hands, it changed to a recorded message, it really was an evacuation. People started pouring out the doors and I took my breakie back to my car. As I write this note the fire brigade arrived, lights and sirens. No smoke visible or by smell. I wonder if damage from the wind maybe? I hope everyone ok but I'm not hanging around to find out.
I used live in Winmalee and never got too this, always too many muggles.
So on a return trip came early.

Nice cache. Actually found this one with a mate before I started geocaching a while back. Finally managed to find a quiet moment without muggles to log it properly. Thanks for the cache.

Nice easy find. Funny that it is in such an obvious location and people walk past every day. Thanks.
It was easy to find, and well hidden in plain sight. But we didn't have a pen so our names aren't in it
Quick geocache hunt whilst running errands with geokids. Easy find. Careful with the cars. Get down low.
Found by Mary & David at 1345. The log is damp, but still able to sign. Mary was tempted to go inside for some retail therapy. Winmalee is so much nicer than Whitecross, Our thanks to WaywardWoman.
Unfortunately log was soaked through and unable to be signed (see pic). It will need replacing. TFTC
The boss was coming to Penrith today to visit a friend who had had minor surgery yesterday, so I decided to come with her and then go off and do a caching run from Yarramundi to Springwood. It's been years (indeed decades) since I've driven along Springwood/Hawkesbury Road so it was great to do it again and to see how much has changed over the years ... and to pick up 18 finds (mostly of the park & grab variety ... no bush walks for me on a 40 degree day!) along the way. Stopped here to buy a much needed drink and was delighted to see that I could also grab a smiley from the stop. No problems doing that either, so thanks WaywardWoman.
We are based in Richmond for a few days and what a wonderful choice of caches. Today we headed towards Springwood and surrounds and this was one of the caches we targetted and found. Thanks to WaywardWoman for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area. 
Fast found. No muggles, because the centreos closed on 25th of december. TFTC
8.10am. Nice walk from our camp to here this morning. Soon had this in hand.
Thank you. David.
Thank you. David.
Bit confusing with 2 identical signs, but then found it easily and quick snack break at the shops too!

#3702 (5 of 10 today)
Well, after *Traffic Control #3* returned to Sydney I had been hoping to grab it for my upcoming milestone (having found both *#1* and *#2* for milestones). But it's all been a bit crazy, and it seems that unless you contact the current holder before it's placed you have no chance of a find.
So, I'll let the novelty wear off and select something else for find #3700.
Quite a while ago I had looked at a challenge cache for which I'd qualified. I've found a few challenge caches for milestones so far, so why stop now? And I can make a day of it with a number of other finds in the area.
Done!
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
OK, time for the park and grabs before I head home. This was the first. Spotted it immediately - how does this not go missing all the time?
Took into the shopping centre to complete signing duties, and spotted a friend who lives up this way doing some grocery shopping. We talked a bit and then I left to make the replace and continue on.
