This cache is in quite bad condition, only saw half of it with the log a sodden mess. TFTC
Fun finding this, wrote out names there so make sure you bring a pen to let people know you went there.
A quick find on a fairly quiet street. Getting the steps up today logging this ramble TFTC
Drive by cache on a nice sunny day, took a bit of searching as the hint was slightly misleading, but a search of the comments helped. Some lizard friends nearby, and some muggles looking after their car on a summery day. TFTC.
After the community event is was time to grab a few more caches in the area so headed over. A quick stop out of sight of some muggles setting up in the front yard for a socially distanced NYE and the cache was soon in hand. We completed the signing duties and re hid. TFTC
No longer a DNF!!! TFTC
was confused at first as it sure didn't match the clue but yup log signed and replaced as found and off to the next

There is a Challenge Cache I've been meaning to find for some time. But I haven't been in the Blue Mountains for caches for a while - thanks CoVid19!
Today looked quite nice, and the Geowife is working, so I can sneak out and go for a few around Glenbrook / Lapstone.
In the end I found five, including my target and two Virtuals, one of which involved a bushwalk. Also got a previous DNF - always happy with that. Added a new DNF - never happy with that.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
I collected most of this series quite a while ago, but I'd come up short here.
Today, I'd already grabbed the info for *#16* (the multi) but ended up not going for that.
Had a second look at this spot after driving by and seeing workmen right at GZ. Not to mention this is a previous DNF. Came back after some lunch to find they've moved off down the driveway, so the coast is clear.
I thought I'd checked this spot last time, but no matter, it's a quick find today.
Signed over the road - in case the workmen wander back -then replaced.
DNF expunged!
Now for a bushwalk.

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.

Back in town for a short visit I stopped in here to avenge a DNF from way back....and I did!
Thanks Whitemushroom for the cache

After finding some unloved caches at Lapstone, we optmistically ventured up here and made a find. In plain sight. Great. TFTC
### Welcome to Blue Mountains ###

We took a day trip to Penrith, Lapstone and Glenbrook today.
We walked along the tram way and the zig zag way and have enjoyed many other nice beautiful spots
Nice landscape to explore.
We’ve also stopped multiple times along the way and solved some multi caches.
We’ve also found a virtual cache in Glenbrook Park.
Thank you all the owners for the nice caches

We were nearby today so had a quick look in between garbage trucks and people walking their dogs. But the cache was just too well hidden tor us. TFTH
A rare weekend opened up in between elections so we took the opportunity to take a walk through Glenbrook. Great weather and an enjoyable caching day all round. But this was one that couldn’t be found even with some extensive searching.
Had a look around for a bit, but felt rather exposed at this spot - couldn't uncover anything in the time we were here. With fatigue setting in, we decided to call it quits for the day - but we ended up finding 16 today which we were happy with
Tricky- not what or where we were expecting it. Not really covered but the colour makes it fade into the shadows. TFTC- nice peaceful street.
Aaarrrgghhhhh!
Just kidding!
I don't know if this was in the cache as originally placed but it was when I found it!
Sometimes youbhave to look for a thing. Keep looking. Keep looking. Go back around the other way. Decide you're NOT giving up. Go back to original thought. Look at something from just the right angle and suddenly there it is! Right where you looked before! TFTC

I’ve got no idea how the last cacher found this cause we searched everywhere and couldn’t find a thing!!
A DNF for me. I thought the rocks at the base if stump would reveal it but nothing there. Looks like the local has been working on their garden. Could be missing.
This one is a tricky one... trying to work out the right time of day so that you aren’t spotted

We have travelled from Sydney’s Northern Beaches to Penrith for a short three day caching holiday, staying in a park cabin at the Gateway Lifestyle Nepean Shores Holiday Park, and planning on exploring the areas around Penrith, Regentville, Jamisontown, Emu Plains, Lapstone, and Glenbrook. Will also be keeping an eye out for our final Hidden Creature, the World Turtle, whilst out on the caching trail. This was our 10th find of the day, and 30th find of the holiday.
A nice quick roadside “park & grab” on our way down to the end of the tramway track and winding house ruins. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found. TFTC whitemushroom & wackydo and eaviate.

Cooler today and so much better for geocaching and doing some wallking. This was one we targetted and were able to find. Thanks to whitemushroom for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area.
