Nice quick & easy find after school to help keep the 31 Days of Geocaching Streak in August from HQ ticking along! Noticed that some close friends of mine found this a few days ago - despite it being archived recently. Probably worth reconsidering keeping this one active as its in a great spot (just needs new container). TNLNSL / TFTC
Even though this was listed as inactive, the cache was still there although the container is quite broken. A previous cacher has replaced the log but it'll probably get wet again the next time it rains. TFTC!
Container was damaged but contents are ok, until next rain. Great to see something like this so close to the kids playground. Had a few geokids with me today on MTB's and let them have the fun of the find. TFTH.
Soon found the cache. One side of container is broken and log was wet.
Left a replacement log. TFTC

Down in Sydney for a weekend with KidzJCT and Trenton8or. Took some time out from shopping to grab some caches.

Cache has been muggled and broken and log book taken. Being away from home we don't have another cache container with us.
On the Anzac Day morning, we found this with the family, while dad was heading for a milestone.
Cache # 2992 and number 8 of 15 in my "Day all about the Numbers".
We had done a few micros and had decided to filter them out for a while. We were on our way to a nearby regular sized cache when I saw this one appear on my map, so we stopped to do it. I'm glad we did, because this was an easy find, as soon as I turned around (having just walked past it) to see it from a better angle. Thanks

#1917- The name had me thinking of something completely different, but there you are. bikerbuddy found it as he turned around. As usual, the long way in and the short way out!. Thanks, finally got around to doing this one I remember being given out on a list at one of your Rouse Hill events.
Took a while but luckily it was quiet. Dropped TB to continue its travels. TFTC
Found it on a warm Friday. I just walked up to this one as it was lying on the ground. It was a pretty warm day and the cache was quite hot, you'd be pleased to know that the paint still looks good AussieCacher. I rehid where I thought it should go. TFTC
Well after losing an hour to echelon it was nice to have another quick find. I didnt even let the gps settle as i saw an obvious spot as i walked up

Found whilst in the area to visit Bifrost and The Pergola and The Echelon Project.. A quick smiley whilst in the area for 3 DNF's.. I Enjoyed the quick park and grab as well as the park.. Thanks for the cache..
Quick find, paint a wee bit scratched but mostly good. Lid was loose when I found it but contents were dry.
Found this one easily enough, and then let the boys have a play in the park. I had to wait for a muggle mum and her kids to leave before I could replace it. TNLNSL TFTC
I had a great time playing in this park, especially the big climbing hill. I was able to find a handhold that was close enough to the ground for me to reach so I could climb up. It was more fun to slide down rather than climb down.
I was asleep when we arrived at the park, but woke up in time to have a swing on the swings. I'll have to wait for a bit longer before I'm big enough to go on the climbing wall.
This climb must be a hit with the kiddies. What a credit to the neighborhood. SL..TFTC
Grub(son) and I found this one on the way home after I picked him up from work. THanks Acko and Grub
Happily the nearby playground was vacant making for a quick and unobtrusive find although the cache is probably just far enough away for it to be retrieved even if the play area was in use. Nice little park here. Liked the rock sculpture nearby.
After tough time tracking the windmill thus easy find was a nice change.. tftc signed log.
Pulled up under cover of darkness, GeoWife found this after 5 minutes. Taken travel bug and left another in container. TFTC
Found after lucking out over the road, so this was a nice easy find. Yes this container is covered in paint! Congratulations.
The paint is in good nick though.
Thanks for the cache.
Cheers from Browngang

Found with Browngang, nice easy find after a frustrating couple of hours trying to find the other caches close by. By the way you say in the cache description that the contaner is small so how about specifing that in the cache listing!! would be handy
What a great play area for the geogirls...they had a ball playing....quick find today....T4TC...TNLN
Day four of a quick blitz while visiting family in the area for my cousin’s engagement party. Finishing off with a couple of drive-bys with my god-daughter, who decided only after we got home that if she’s going to tag along, she may as well sign up too. So while sazzyK’s name is not written in logbook, she was with me when this cache easily found.
Been tagging along with mizmaz on several caching trips when she visits (and getting a good eye for spotting some hides), so on her suggestion finally decided to create my own login and get credit for it Created account as soon as I got home but didn't actually sign this log.
Another quick find by Geodaughter, cloud cover made pinpointing GZ difficult but it was found before I even started looking!

Fun find after the disappointment of the 5 star miss. Paint is holding up very well. Left TB. TFTC
A nice easy find here this afternoon, and the paint is still in good nick. Good to see a bush hide in a suburban park. Thanks AussieCacher. The TomTom with it's old maps gets very confused around new suburbs like these!
Yay easy find, thanks for bringing us here

Came over this way for a few caches before shopping and dinner. Pulled up with some muggles with kids leaving as I made my way to GZ. Checked one spot and made the find. SL and replaced. Paint looking good and holding up so far AC, TFTC.

In the end a simple hide, and a simple find. Satanas got covered in farmers friends, he was not impressed, hahaha.. Thanks AC
Found while working in the area with Team Unibolt quick find and sign then off to grab the next on our list of caches to find Thanks Aussiecache for the hide
After scratching our heads down the road for a little for over an hour we thought we would come and see if we could stumble over this one, no problem here stumbled over this one quickly. TFTC
In between the epic fails at Echelon and Pergola we (pjmpjm and me) managed to find this one quite quickly. Good camo paint, it works. Wondering why the size is a mystery here when it is stated in the description?
Signed and replaced.
Thanks!
Signed and replaced.
Thanks!
Found together with Yurt -- very quickly -- after our DNF at The Echelon.
It's size isn't really very mysterious after all, and the paint job was great -- looks like new!
All was in good order with this cache, nice and dry. TNLNSL.
Many thanks to AC for all the new caches in this area!

The paint appears to be holding up well so far.
TNLN and thanks AussierCacher for the cache.

Finally managed to make my way out to this cache, been meaning to do it since the Hills event. GPS was a bit all over the place but in the end I found the cache. SL #335
This was a fairly easy find in a nice park with some well cared for flora, TNLN thanks.
Thanks For The Cache
Found while out on an afternoon caching run with the geofamily

This area has so many wonderful parks and play areas and this just another example. Coords were spot on resulting in a quick find.

After a DNF at the project cache, We needed something with less stars to give back something we lost at the project cache. Found this cache easy with spot on co-ordinates. The paint is still holding up well,but we guess that this cache is only a week old. TFTC Aussie

This park was a little scary for me... approached GZ and a rabbit sitting 1 metre away scared the living daylights out of me as I reached for the cache.
I noticed a "memorial" on a nearby tree. I wonder what the story was with that?
Anyway. I needed a "wake up" call and this cache gave it to me.

Found as part of the 4th Annual Hills event. Took little cache capsule, left log bag and pencil. TFTC
This was our fourth **FTF** of the day after attending the 4th Annual Hills Event. It turned out to be our 1st of 4 FTF's for the day with AussieCacher releasing 9 nine caches at the event.
We searched for a little while before making the find. Opening it up and with great excitement found an empty log for another FTF of the day. SL, replaced and moved off to complete all nine before the CITO.
Thanks for all your effect and organisation today AussieCacher. Nice to meet you.
