Today I wanted to go to Macquarie Park, but the train didn't go there. That`s way I get out in Epping.
I went through Epping and sought and found some caches.
After a while I could find the cache.

Logbook is completely full. Needs replacing. Not sure why people don't log maintenance to caches.

Awesome part of the Uni. Easy find. I have seen many caches of this type before. Log is completely full. I managed to sign under Andrew Andrew. No room for swaps or drops. SL TFTH TFTC. Logbook needs replacing.

After grabbing the nearby cache at the MQ Library, Mumma-Kel and I decided it would be folly not to grab a few more in the area of the university while we were here. Since it's the uni mid-year break, parking was not a problem here today ... indeed, we were able to park in the spot closest to GZ, and from there, we made a quick and straightforward find ... the cache was right where we expected it to be.

Thanks for placing this one Pilgrim7, and for the smiley.

Out and about on a geomission with Opa-Shrek and one of the Geokids today we found ourselves visiting Club Mac, so wound our way around the roads to the car park here ... I can't remember this car park being here, or at least being so big when I attended in a former life, so it was interesting to see the uni from this angle.... As Opa-Shrek said, because of the exam/break period we were able to make a super quick easy park and super quick easy grab... Although I helped the geokid check 2 incorrect positions before Opa-Shrek walked over to the only other option and claimed this find! Thanks for the find Pilgrim7... As others have said the log is chock a block full (we squeezed initials into an itty bitty patch down one side, as have many before us!) - unfortunately we'd used our spare log on an earlier cache, so couldn't replace, but I"d suggest the next finder have one handy.
 
08-Jun-15
no luck
 
27-May-15
Log completely full. Maintenance required
 
16-May-15
Saturday is a good day to visit. Parked right nearby, no muggles. Log full but otherwise in good nick. Cheers.
 
09-May-15

I found this cache after seeing some friends. it is a good hide and enjoyed looking for it. Also the log is full I barely put the name on it
 
11-Apr-15
I'm at uni today for an on campus day and after sitting in the same chair for the last 5 hours I decided I needed to stretch my legs - how convenient that there is a cache just 70m from my class. Lucky there's no one here today and there was a bus hiding the cache location from view TFTC - log is full and needs replacing.
 
08-Apr-15
Neat. My first find.
 
18-Mar-15
Had a hunch on where to look when I first arrived. Parked opposite GZ and walked over and started checking the same type but elsewhere, but had CIH soon afterwards, thanks P

Streak day #76 - yay, I didn't get lost tonight. I didn't bother trying to follow the streets according to the map because they are completely wrong. Only had 10 mins after ice hockey in order to grab a cache before midnight. Luckily I found this one quickly, I'm used to this type now. TFTC.
 
03-Feb-15
Nine cache. Clue helps. Log is full.
 
09-Nov-14
Came to MacU to watch students from my school compete in a robot wars challenge. As I was leaving I thought I would check if there were any caches nearby and this was the closest. SL #1675 on streak day #857 TFTC
 
08-Nov-14
Some weather proof items are missing from the local area? Perhaps not here anymore?
 
10-Oct-14
Very cool little hide & thought the hint was very clever & creative yet extremely helpful! Walked straight up to it & was at the first place I looked Smile
 
13-Sep-14
Last find for today - great way to end the day with this sneaky hide.

#67

Had some time to kill before heading to my capstone, so thought I'd try my luck again at one that eluded me last semester.

the benefit of experience paid off as I've now found a few of this type of hide. Very clever stuff.

thanks for making uni fun!

21-Apr-14
Took me a little while but I got it. Smile

Streak Day# 273, decided this one would be a nice easy one after work on a dark rainy night...quick find but walked away to SL as there was muggle traffice passing by. TFTC
 
09-Apr-14
Nice. Short one after soccer nearby. Greetings from Germany.
 
08-Apr-14
#86 - I had to be on campus for a research seminar so I figured I'd make the three hour trek worth it and try for this. It was the only one we couldn't get to last time we did uni caching. Had to wait a bit until the muggles had gone (4pm, so loads of cars leaving) but it was exactly where I'd thought it must be. Very nicely done, Pilgrim, TFTC! Smile

Obligatory cache find on bicycle route reconnaissance mission for the coming semester. Tidy hide. Thanks!
 
08-Feb-14
Found W/ AM. Nice hiding container and camo combo. TFTC
 
08-Feb-14
Found with CJ this afternoon whilst heading out to the Hills District.

Anyway we've also been wanting to knock this one off our 'night cache' list. Thankfully there were no nearby muggles at the GZ. It wasn't too hard to find the cache and the hint was excellent. I quickly spotted the tell tale sign before showing CJ. We soon had the cache in hand. What a cool hide! Clever camo. We really liked this one. We signed the log and replaced the cache.

Anyway, it was a satisfying find and a great day to chase down more caches. Thanks Pilgrim7 for your cache. SL TNLN TFTC
 
06-Feb-14
Simple find with in muggles around tftc
 
06-Feb-14
While looking a bunny pop out of the bushes, which brought muggles so had to wait for them to leave
 
27-Jan-14
The second of our finds at Macquarie Uni today. We walked past the swimming pool on our way from "Heliopolis". It looked very inviting on this hot public holiday day.

Found fairly quickly, as there weren't too many muggles around.

TFTC!
 
26-Jan-14
My dad found it straight away.
 
26-Jan-14
Well hidden! I take my cap off to you. So to speak.

Only 18 cars in the carpark today.
Came here 4 months ago with no luck, missed it by that much!
With no muggles around it was much easier to look.
Had a good look around the old uni, it's changed a lot since I was a student here.

A rainy Xmas afternoon and I figured no one would care if I hadn't paid the parking fee. Pulled up at GZ and grabbed the cache.
 
19-Dec-13
I headed up to the parking lot and waited until the only nearby muggle got into her car. I had a fair idea of where to look, and indeed on my second attempt found myself with CIH. TNLNSL TFTC!

Nice tftc
 
23-Nov-13
Found on a first visit to Marquarie University. TFTC

Sorry for the late & repeat logs as just catching up now.
A great time had, some wonderful places seen, thanks to all the NSW geo cachers. Smile

Another good find with TuisReturn
We enjoyed touring around the area finding caches

Decided this evening I would travel down to the Ryde, Marsfield area to try my hand at caching after dark. Had some excitement on the Expressway just before Wahroonga A Holden Commodore in front of me decide to do some fancy 360’s down the road sparks lighting up the evening like New Year. His two front Mag wheel evidently decided simultaneously to explode, He ended up the gutter against the rock wall with pieces of wheels all over the Expressway. The driver and passengers weren’t injured just shocked. Nice cache. TFTC
 
05-Nov-13
As soon as I arrived at GZ, I just somehow knew where it would be. And it was! A quick find, that's a change! TFTC Smile
 
14-Oct-13
Looked for ages and finally got it. Great hide. The definition of micro!
 
12-Oct-13

Daddy and I went for a walk as we were getting a little cabin-feverish being stuck in the house all day.
I pointed him in the right direction for this cache and he signed it for me Smile
 
25-Sep-13
Nice! TFTC
 
22-Sep-13
Footyfanatics, pdbunce and I set out this morning for a spot of caching. This one had been on my radar for a while and wasn't sure about the parking situation. As it turns out it was really easy to park on the weekend and a short stroll later had CIH. TFTC.
 
22-Sep-13
Found it on a brilliant spring Sunday while out with evangt and pdbunce. We found this one very quickly as there really was no other place for it to be. This area must get busy during the week. TFTC

#111 (9 of 11 today)

Drove to GZ, and took one look at the possible hides.
Now, I've looked for this sort of hide a number of times & it's never been right. But never say never, I went for it again...
And this time I was rewarded with CIH in under 30 seconds. It brought a huge smile to my face to actually see this type of hide done & gets a favourite point from me.

Well I'd better come back next time I'm in the area and have another try at this one.
 
07-Sep-13
After reading JackScruff's note, I figured this would be an opportunity to cruise by on the new bike and have a look.
Yep. Cache is still there, intact and ready for use.
 
03-Sep-13
Had some time to kill so came here with high hopes.
Found the magnet but no cache, seems to be gone. Had a look several metres around GZ but could see nothing else.
Hope it can be found so I can come back and have a better look around the old uni.

Love sneaking in caches on a work day Smile tfth
 
29-Aug-13
A nice spot to go with kids, plenty place to run around and lots of hungry ducks to feed. Had seen a similar hide a while back so did not take to long to find the cache. TFTC
 
28-Aug-13
Argh... I got to GZ and I am pretty sure I was looking in the right place according to the hint. But nothing... Carpark too busy, will come back some other time.
 
21-Aug-13
I can't believe, clever hide!! I find all 3 at university. This is my 6 finder caches.
