The 616 Again Rouse Hill, New South Wales, Australia
By The Trixter on 20-Mar-12. Waypoint GC3F1K2

This will have to wait till construction ends.

Not only is GZ behind barriers for the North West Rail Link, it looks to me that the cache has been demolished along with its surroundings.
Relocations / archiving likely required.

Taken down due to rail works

Can't get to bus stop due to renovations

Did not find its all blocked off

I think it's gone

Whoa - finally found this one with JJCC in the calm of the storm around Rouse Hill today.

Had previously visited GZ over two weeks ago at night and GZ was a buzz with muggle activity, although we did take the opportunity of doing a thorough ground level recon which didn't turn up anything. Having a 6'3" individual in the team helped but nothing was found on the sweep and considering the one item at ground level combined with the difficulty rating the likely hide was surmised but unattainable on that visit.

Today there were two buses, but no one inside, plus two muggles nearby, We timed our raid with precision and were rewarded with a find. The container did require some persuasion as it appeared the bolts had seized given that the cache hadn't been touched in five months - in the end we had the container in hand. Signing duties were performed and then the hardest part, waiting for the right time toreplace the cache.

Nearby works for the North-West Rail Link have not affected the cache, although it is close by...very close. Both cache and log are in excellent condition. TFTC The Trixter (you do live up to your name) - a Fav point from us, well done.

This little cache is surrounded by fencing with upgrades left and right. Extremely high volume of muggles at GZ. Out with Team Merlin for this cache with the prior knowledge with his recent visit. We were hoping that we could find locate the cache on this visit.

Been tall is a certain bonus for this find but brute strength is also needed to get the cache. Locating and getting the CIH is only half the battle. As the GZ is a bus interchange obtaining and replacing this cache is some what difficult. A definite favorite point from us. Well hidden cache in such a high traffic are with no one the wiser. Log signed and replaced as found although this took a very long while waiting for a clear muggle free moment. TFTC

Couldn't find but might wanna check due to upgrades.

Had figured out where this one was some time ago but finally decided to retrieve it at night when lots less muggles were around. TFTC.

Found after the event in the food court.

Very nice hide

Well after visiting the event & finding a few local caches with Tardis 0061 & Lucky1955 we bumped into a few more cachers. Ris had found this one before but was kind enough to come with us. ContactPete made the find. TFTC

found in company with celtical, tradis061, contactpete, ris768. After arriving at GZ moved around to get the GPS to settle and get a bead on the point to where the hide was. Following a tip from ris with regard to the terrain rating a find was made shortly after. contactpete being the tallest made the grab.
log was signed by all needing to and cache replaced. a clever cache of a type I have not seen before tftc

given a FP for ingenuity and hide

Found with Snickersallan, on our way to the local event. Great day for caching

The army continue it marauding and found this one with help TFTC

Found with Bluewattle before attending the yearly Hills District Meet, great camo & TFTC

After a late lunch nearby, I noticed that GZ was muggle free for a good 30metres in both directions. Time to pounce, searching the places that I'd missed a few months ago. I was rewarded with CIH. Very nice work - love the attention to detail, a definite fav from me! TFTC

Cool cache. I didn't have a pen on me so I took a photo of the cache if OC wants to see it. TFTC.

Out muggled at 11:30pm on a Sunday. There was a lady sitting in her car right in front of ground zero for more than 10 minutes!

AWESOME! Love the concept behind this one & the creativity and effort that went into making this one so unique. Did some recon on Friday afternoon, but way too many muggles arriving on buses on their way home from a long week of work. After a quick PAF to Rheneas to answer my Yes/No question, I had some intel that made the swoop this afternoon short, sweet & successful. Replaced exactly how I found it. SL / TFTC

Yebo the trixter
What a great idea, loved it though had to look up the different meanings of being "bolted" , my English lacks from time to time
Fav point for the idea

I can finally cross this one off my list as I had visited GZ several times but with no luck. A little while ago, Rheneas asked me about another cache and I noticed he recently found this one so I cashed in my favour. Without his help, I wouldn't have known what to look for or how to retrieve it. Still being a short person, it was difficult to reach so I brought Geodad along as he is taller. I haven't seen a cache like this before. SL. TFTC.

Looked and looked but still no luck

Tried this one after Interceptking and I had some breakfast at griddle. Too many muggles and GPS seemed to be jumping all over the place. Will return soon for a good look.

no luck here looks like i will need a hint on this one.

TFTC

Couldn't find... read logs and noticed the terrain rating, but eluded us. Another time!

Had shied away from this one for a while due to almost impossible muggle activity in regular hours. Did a quick recon mission on Boxing Day after taking geofamily to see a movie and thought I spotted the cache but was unable to verify due to muggles. Returned early Sunday morning just after 7am thinking I'd be undisturbed only to find a guy doing maintenance on the bins nearby! Made a quick trip to Coles and returned minutes later when the coast was finally clear. I was indeed correct from the recon mission and was quickly able to grab the cache, sign log and replace without being disturbed. Very crafty container. TFTC!

Only marginally more suitably attired I hit this cache again tonight after enjoying a pre-Christmas celebration with friends. GZ was within sight which made for a distracted dinner as I kept an eye on the frequency of the buses, the level of muggle activity and any suspicious behaviour. Finally our chance came. We hit the area hard. With 5 of us beong overtly conspicuous we soon had CIH.
SL and returned safely.
A very clever hide. Not what I was expecting.
TFTC!

Had a go before a celebratory lunch today. I was a bit dressy for too many hi jinx so I'll return in more suitable caching attire.

One of the best constructed camouflages like this I've seen so far.

What an awesome camo. Very well made, havent found one like this before. TFTC!!!

A few muggles made it hard to give it a good look.

Found on 2nd attemp with adacache laughing in the background! A great hide

This was a very difficult cache for me that took four attempts in the end. I hunted high and low with various levels of muggle activity but I finally spotted the clever hide in a spot I am sure I had previously checked. Glad to get this one out of the list and a worthwhile find for day 22.

I think the terrain rating is about right, for me anyway, and I now see why the difficulty is a three; it’s not just the muggle factor.

This one intrigued me so I was determined to give it a go today. Due to the extreme muggle factor, I went back and forth three times between other caches until the coast was clear enough to allow me to make a move. It wasn’t in the exact place indicated by my GPSr so I widened my search slightly, spotted it and eventually had CIH.

A challenging hide, thanks The Trixter. There were plenty of other buses but no sign of a 616 .

Looked all around GZ and couldn't find it. Way too many muggles around. Stood on seats but still couldn't find it

Terrain rating changed to 2
Happy Hunting

Cache checked and all is good.

4 dnf in a row. But hasn't been found since march in such a busy cacheing area. Time the owner to check.

Tried today for ages between busses & muggles coming and going. Will have to come back & try again sometime soon.

Another visit, another DNF. Even with more clues than last time I still couldn't locate the hide. I'll be back!

Alas, a DNF for us... The busses with muggle drivers parked at GZ didn't help.

I was parking in my car illegal while sevabo was with Hammerman's help and went over to find the cache which it was lucky for sevabo because she couldn't reach it so he retrieved it for us. TFTH

Lovely day for the Geocaching, accompanied skyejam and helper Hammerman, Thanks for leading us here.

Dragged the niece and nephew over to the bus stop for a quick peek this morning after visiting the library and found driver-less empty bus sitting there so thought 'here's my chance'. Had a quick look but noisy niece asking 'have you found it yet' every minute made me give up very quickly. I will return (by myself)!

Found at 3:24 PM on our "Get to 9,999 cache finds before the Myriads and Milestones event on 21 April" with Browngang. This was a GAFF5 find.
This was a total comedy of errors. To begin with the Terrain of just 1.5 indicated that there was nothing extreme. No need to search above head height and no need to grovel under seats and pick through chewing gum and spiders. How wrong were we!
We in the end had to call on a friend - Juddda - who was very sympathetic to our plight after finishing the whole nearby power trail in 5 hours and he put us out of our misery.
Gosh - even then it was a tricky cache to find.
Thanks The Trixter.
Feedback: Terrain should be at least a 2.0 unless you are a 7' giant.

Very tricky indeed. I wouldn't say that balancing up on the top of a seat while trying to retrieve a cache would be a T1.5. Even after a PAF we had difficulty as were were looking for some sort of proprietary type container. A piece of art we had in our hands nonetheless once we did though.
Thanks Trixter

I was talking to someone about this cache recently and I discovered I was looking for the wrong type of container.
We arrived here late at night expecting the place to be deserted but there were people sitting in cars and buses right at GZ.
The kids kept an eye on the bus driver and the car left just as I was going to retrieve cache.
Took a while to finally get our name in the log but we managed it.
Log is full will need replacement!
Great hide.....
TFTC

Very difficult.

The muggles were down the other end and they all eventually got on a bus, so I was more or less clear to search.

Despite this, still could not find. Tried all sorts of things, must be something I didn't think of.

Will try again after another find.

I will try and get down there over the next week and change the log out.
Happy Hunting
The Trixter

Up at medical centre for results of blood tests, and managed this cache afterwards.
Searched here previously and bus drivers made me very nervous last time.
Today it stood out but I didn't check here last time, so signed the FULL LOG and returned safely without being seen, (muggles not suspicious of my doings).
Clever hide, Thanks for the cache.

I have been eying this one off for a good while. Finally remembered to have a go whilst actually at the shops.

Looked up then down then under and in a few times, then soon had CiH.

Thanks Trixter for a well constructed hide.

Found after watching wrecking Ralph with the family had me stumped a little but got there in the end thanks for a great hide loved it!!

Log is full I unfortunately did not have my usual geo kit with me sorry or i would have added a new one for you.

Found after the gang did some WRPT's nearby. Tough one, especially when it was still a little busy.

TFTC

Was in the area for a 12/12/12 event with other cachers. bisygisy, azazzlenic, Team Webguy and I, approached this GZ at a better time, no one close by made your job easier today. I quickly got in position to quickly retrieve the cache. A lucky find!! TFTC

What a busy little area. Lucky the area just cleared as we got there.

TFTC, Found with Hoogies, azazzlenic and Team Webguy.

Having found the original cache, it was very easy to find this time. Buses coming in, buses going out.... Waited, but the 616 did not arrive.

No luck today
too many people around to search really well, but since we were in the area we decided to have a quick look anyway.
Will try again - maybe at a different time though

thanks anyway

Took a break from the WRPT to tackle this tricky Trixter hide. Thought we knew what we were looking for ... But no! Poked around a bit then did some thinking. Why would it be hidden in this place and not another? Aha, got it! And a very cleverly crafted container it is! We spent some time admiring he workmanship. Excellent cache, TT! SL TFTC Cheers... Gaztek

With assistance from Team HawkPT, we found this cache fairly quickly today. Nice camo!!! TFTC!

1240, GAFF1, Somehow this hide seemed all too familiar, had a feeling of "'groundhog day'" only much better

There were plenty of buses lined up and no drivers about making the retrieve much quicker than the last visit.

SL, cache in good condition.

TFTC The Trixter

well we couldn't find it after quite a while and the GPSr was quite bouncy. oh well. at least this tells me that we do not at all have any chance at bifrost

Great hide the last time around and surprising enough is great again. Thanks Trixter.

In the area today with AmethystPig on a caching adventure. This was on the list to attempt but there were too many muggles and busses to give it a good crack. We made a pathetic attempt but didn't spend very long here.

In the area on a glorious sunny Sunday with Footyfanatics. DNF after about 10 minutes we gave up. Looked all over but to no avail. Muggled perhaps? I'll never know.

Didn't find it on a gloriously sunny Sunday in the area with evangt. We looked and looked and felt everything around, there was a locked bus but no-one there, still no luck. We'll be back.

Why is it that every time I pull up to get this cache there is always a bus parked next to it with the drier having a smoko??? grr now the T65 has pulled up going to stake this one out hey buses hurry up and leave!!!

Been waiting for 20 minutes for these buses to leave and now the driver is having a second smoke arrgghh go and do some work do I can do some caching!!

Finally after 30 minutes of waiting I can log the find TFTC SL #424 day #32

was just gonna try to find it and a bus turned up. Thought I would have to come back when the bus driver locked the bus and walked away. Bang off I went and grabbed the cleverest cache, so trickey.
Thanks Acko

Nice quick find when you know where it is...T4TC

Again had this one in my hands after a struggle,boy this cache is strong,cheers.

Glad to see it's back. Very well made cache. TFTC

Found whilst on a quick night spree

The 616 was fun, now again

Found once again. Unfortunately I was sprung by a bus driver, I explained what I was doing, so lets hope all is well. He appeared pretty relaxed about it all though, so it should be OK. Thanks again Trixter

I have no prior caching experiences in this part of Sydney, so my map of the area is devoid of smileys. But I understood bikerbuddy's desire to change his last couple of icons to smileys while we out this way for the nearby night cache.

It's amazing how many people there still are hanging around this area at night, but I guess all of the restaurants nearby accounts for most of them.

I looked one way for this, bikerbuddy looked the other way & found the cache quickly.

Thanks .

We were out this way to do the nearby Sydney Night Cache to give us another day in our caching streak. I had considered this cache once before, during the day, and decided not to attempt it because of the number of muggles about. Since we were here anyway, later at night seemed a good opportunity.

Being a Saturday night, there was still quite a few people about, but despite that I was able to look where I thought the cache would be. I found it in the second place I looked.

Thanks.

Found with dad, bro and Toriaz.

Dad found this one. Thanks.

During all the rain we had today this one was the closest and I knew where it was so I was happy that this was here again!
SL and RNTD safe.

Cache is back in place. Sorry folks every time I went back to gz there were people or security around, even in the middle of the night.

Really should have checked the logs first but being this 26th May thought this would have been put back by now...we found it the first time so knew what we were looking for & it's not there can PPE please confirm on his returning the cache to GZ....thank you

Came with ruffasgutts4x4.
No joy. Think it's gone.

I had advice from two past finders on the whereabouts of this one, so I am confident it's gone, however there's always a chance we missed it somehow.....nahh it's gone Next time...

Found it - again. This is still a tricky hide!!

SL TFTC

Due to the appearance of a security guard and a bus driver close by after I had collected this cache, I was unable to return the cache to its position tonight. I waited 30 minutes but they wouldn't move.

Sorry about this - I have the cache in my car and will replace tomorrow night (as I have work in Gosford starting at 7:00am in the morning).

Once again aplogies for any inconvenience I have caused.

#1029
Came past again. Parked close by again. This time on my own. I walked up to GZ and waited for a bus to leave before I checked the same place again. Nope...how about here...AHH...there you are! SL again and replaced again. Serious case of De Ja Vu here, but a smilie is what I seek. So done and dusted AGAIN thanx Trixter AGAIN, TFTC.

I believe this cache was removed for safe return by PPE as per below logs until he can return

I was thinking this was another cache entirely but when I got near GZ I realised I'd found this before and given it a favourite. It is one of the best constructed caches I've ever seen and I might transfer my old favourite point from the archived cache to this one.
No one about much and I knew what to do to make it quick.
Thanks!

Ground Hog Day - cache located, log signed and all replaced.

Tks again ... The Trixter ... GazMag

Second time I have found this cache, but now its under a new name and I need to make it a smiley on my geocaching map.
Cheers

Found again

Found again.


Cache is in good order still

TFTC again

Another return visitor, this time at night!

TFTC.

Stopped by with pjmpjm to look for this one. Very busy this afternoon with people all over the place, however our Hi-Vis vest made us inconspicuous enough to search and find the cache!
Very clever, a lot of work went into that one.
Thanks for the clever cache.

Quick find with rogerw3 today, because I guessed that it would be hidden more or less in the same place as the 'original' classic 616. We were on our way to Dural for a trig hunting expedition.

Very well made cache and in very good shape.

TNLNSL.

Yes, the fluoro vest really does make you invisible. The nearby bus driver seems to have thought that we were doing some necessary maintenance . . .

Thanks to The Trixter for re-establishing this interesting cache!

Back here to find revented cache
TFTC

Was out for dinner and thought we'd fing this one again with the kids. Here's my Smiley.
