TFTC Thank you for hiding this cache. You have shown us a new place and have helped make geocaching an enjoyable activity.
Squeezed ourselves into a gap beyond no-stopping zones, whilst heading northbound. A week ago it was too busy in bright daylight so left it for a nighttime stopover. Logbook signed off, well worn out but still usable. TFTC Snoopy1976
Found 11:07 am with fiance in vehicle. Catching up on logs. My lovely other half treated me to a weekend away for my birthday. And we ended out here staying near Eastern Creek raceway. As part of my treat she lets me do a day of caching or as much as I want. So here we were now finding caches. This one being pretty easy find given location. Thanks for the cache.
Quick night find with Jamo9000 dropping him off tonight; quick illegal park and grab
Signed log and replaced as found; TFTC!

A quick find on the way to work but lid is missing and log is quite mouldy- see photo. TFTC!
Nice and easy quick collect. But sadly no parking is allowed anywhere near the cache, so had to park in the driveway 30m’s away and quickly nab the cache.
I think this is the one with a needs maintenance log because of the spiders. Maintenance done here as it perfectly accessible. Thanks Snoopy1976

I was in the area on a business trip and after work there was time for some exploring and a couple of caches. I also saw a suitable parking area a little further and managed to pull off the road safely. Walking back to the cache produced a quick find. TFTC!

No parking. No stopping. Luckily i saw a little driveway with an open gate, so ducked into that, much to the chagrin of the guy behind me. No LId. Antsa, spioder, cob webs, did i mention the ants. They live in armcos. So to the sounds of some revving engines, i signed the log. TFTC

After visiting the nearby 4WD Show I had to find this cache. TFTC.

Manage to find but couldn’t sign, due to the ant colony and spider which have made this their home.
Quite a difficult place to stop, pull over and also grab the cache with all the traffic going past. TFTC
Some good and succesfull caching in the Parklands and Quakers Hill area. Had solved a lot of puzzles in preparation and also prepared myself for a lot of bike riding. Just had not counted on the weather not playing. Although mostly cloudy and only a few drops here and there, it was the heavens opening up about half way through the day, only 400 meters from the car but enough to get soaking wet!!

Ending up turning into a driveway a bit further up as it’s no stopping all around this cache
I walked down to the location, cleared a few spider webs and there it was!

Friday night geocache adventures with BarberBlackSheep, have to settle for quick park and grabs as I've got a broken foot. Found a spot to park and sat in the car and gave BBS directions to make the find, signed and returned back to the creepy crawlies ️

A quick find in the rain was what I needed so had driven passed this one a lot of times and with not many people on the road decided to grab this one in the afternoon.
With cache in hand we signed the log and replaced as found. Both the cache and log are in good condition. Thanks for bringing me to the area and thanks for placing the cache Snoopy1976

Third trip out to Garmin this week to fix GPS problems. 80+km round trip so I need to grab some caches out here that maybe I could do without a device.
This one looked promising from th description and google maps.
Of course when I found my way here it wasn't as simple as that. With no parking signs all along one side of the road and no edge to the road on the other, where do you stop??
Then something appeared.
Not sure if you're legally supposed to pull in there but I did.
From there fortunately the cache was a simple hide.

In the area today and wondered why we had never come and found this. Another nice little park and grab! Tftc Snoopy
Cache find with [@trodectus](http://coord.info/PR8JTE0) today, after previous DNF, we stopped here and were rewarded with a quick find. Log signed and returned. TFTC
Found with [@coybear2000](http://coord.info/PR9547H). After not finding a nearby we moved on to try this one. We parked close to GZ and spotted the hide as we neared. Log soon signed and all replaced and we continued on. TFTC.

I see red, I see red, I see red! Well, when I had CIH. Why are log books so hard to remove from these things? TFTC
I had a bit of time before work commitments to go and find a few caches this morning. Found this cache after a short search.

#3,640 Underhandly well guarded. Busy road for the treadly Kosci. Kwik find though. Many thanks to the CO ***Snoopy1976*** for establishing and maintaining this cache so as to encourage us to get out there instead of staying indoors watching the cricket, and have some intellectual fun seeking out the hide.
Parked at the entrance to the drag way, about 350m from GZ, I figured that was legal.
Walked along the breakdown lane (always towards the oncoming traffic).
Fairly easy to find.
Interesting place to place a cache.
Tip wasn't to smelly, it seemed to smell kinda nice? maybe they put a deodoriser in the water spray.

Out looking for a few caches with WaywardWoman this morning. This was on our way so pulled up on the grass a couple of hundred metres away as we didnt want a fine! Walked to GZ. The wind was blowing away today so not smelly! Signed log and returned as found. Interesting that the "No Stopping - fine" sign is nearby. Which came first the cache or the sign! Walking back to the car we spotted some Ibis near the water. TFTC
Stopped at GZ, probably on the border to being illegal, but could not find the cache. Not a very nice area though with lost of rubbish flying by the wind from the nearby tip.
Tftc. Had to park illegally to get this one. Looked in the obvious spot first and there it was.
Nice quick & easy find after timing the grab just right as the cars whizzed by. RED definitely goes faster
Came here ages ago in the dark trying to look but didnt find it.
Was passing through and decided to give it another crack.
I don't like this cache.. Why? Spiders!
I did the good ol' camera trick - to which I found the cache but it was surrounded by spiders. When I mustered the courage to pull it out I managed to bring a spider with it.
So many spiders.. Ew ew ew ew :'(

After being muggled out last night I raced back this morning to close out this find. Maybe it is just my phone but there is some difference between where the cache was found and where I expected to find it.
Anyway soon had CIH. Log signed and returned back where I found out and hightailed it out of there as the all around GZ is either a no parking or no standing areas.

Well it's a pretty miserable day today - so obviously I just went for a park & grab...
Well, yes I did, but I also did a long multi that required a number of kilometres. Silly me.
[center]END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION[/center]
Well, part way through the multi I decided it was best to drive. And while I'm nearby...
Hmmm, no legal place to park within about 500 metres as far as I could see. At GZ I could also see a special sign reminding people of the penalties for stopping here.
Nice.
Quick grab, quick sign, then out of there before anyone untoward arrived.

1/10/15. 1:00 PM. Cache #3069. Streak day #466.
2nd of 3 this afternoon - Prospect, Eastern Creek & Blacktown.
Came here after finding "Pheasant Plucker's Mate". I was in a race myself - a race to quickly sign this log and get outta here before I cop a fine for standing in a No Standing zone! Off to "DIY today" to finish. TFTC.

This is the only find for today. I had finished with a student and decided to take a detour home to find this cache. I wanted to find this cache as it filled a missing date on my dates hidden calendar. I drove along Ferrers Road and realised there were plenty of No Stopping signs despite the shoulder being wide enough. I guess it is to help with the drag races. After continuing to drive, I saw a spot which said No Parking and believed this would be better. I pulled off the road far enough so I wasn't impeding traffic and made a mad dash back up the road. Then I realised I was on the wrong side of the road from GZ. I managed to wait out some traffic until a break appeared and I bolted across the road. I knew exactly where to look but my heart was pounding from running and nerves. I found the cache, quickly signed the log and replaced before making the mad dash back to the car. After finally starting the car and driving off, a few kms down the road, I passed a Highway Patrol car. Who knows what would have happened if I was just a little longer in running or searching? TFTC.

Travelled down the Thin Black Line again last evening in the teeming rain to try my hand at some night caching in the Blacktown area and surrounding suburbs. Great Cache, Great Location
Thanks for the adventure

Find #1606 - 2 for today. Found on 10/05/2015 12:10 pm
Parked up the road from GZ, and strolled back. Even with the water spray, still had the smell from the tip. A quick find. Thanks

Once again playing cab roll for dad as he is at meetings. Grabbing a few caches while waiting. #2 for today!
Can't park close to GZ so hoofed it along the muddy shoulder. A security person stopped and asked me if i was ok. I had to explain what i was doing ! Just gave me a patronizing look and drove off. Found it. All is well, nice dry log. TFTC
Parked north of GZ and enjoyed a leisurely 400 metre walk behind the new fence. In hindsight I could have driven up the grass part way or parked about 250 metres to the south on the eastern side. Tftc
a new fence going up alongside the road so cache might need checking on that we can still get to it.
Yeah I know what colour car is.... wow nice smell area with spray... Signed the log. Thanks Snoopy1976.
Bit tricky not where compass took us. TFTC. Finally found it. Found with kiwi kruiser.
Another quick find, but those sprays around the quarry/exgarbage tip do make me wonder what we are breathing in around here.
Quick find after an awesome day's qualifying at the aust nationals today.

Liked the air freshener being sprayed into the air by the waste disposal mob! No joke!!
Found the cache quickly and easily. 2nd find of the day - day 14 of August streak - as we were in the area of SMP for an event. Thanks for the cache Snoopy1976.
nice quick one before the weather changes. The wind is blowing in this direction too, not real pleasant lol. TFTC
It was just as well it was a fast find and sign as the arroma from the otherside of the fence was just to much.

I didn't really get the hint but fortunately didn't need it as I found the cache in the first place I looked. Thanks Snoopy1976.
I too took a bit longer as I was looking at the too obvious. The obvious fast car colour was to obvious, so I had to look for the not so obvious. Once that strategy was implemented, an easy find. Tftc
