Took a little while as cords had me about 5m away but got there in the endTFTC

Kids have started to show an interest in crystals and gemstones thanks to playing Legend of Zelda, so we took them to the gem show today at the Showground nearby. Some nice finds in there so did a nice find outside afterwards with this little cache. Thanks for hiding. Havent been down here in a loooong time.

OCW EverestHigh After Beer O'clock and some night caching with a larger group. took a little while to find this one, we were searching up and down the fence line, until a photo that a previous finder uploaded gave me substantial hint and located the cache shortly after, a nano, yay, my favourite

Found as a night cache after the nearby Beer O'Clock Event at Nth Richmond. Maybe the phone torch light helped to see it. Found with Gavingo4. TFTC Blundo Busters

Took a bit of looking as my phone had me further up the line. Nice new log to sign and replaced as found. TFTC

When we arrived here, after having visited tiny home expo!! We thought we will grab this one. Then we realised, ha! Its a Blundo, wont be hanging in plain sight but funny enough soon had cache in hand. Thank you Blundo

Just had a quick visit at the The Tiny Homes expo.Then found a tiny cache, for a minute thought I'd dropped the lid, but it was fortunately stuck to my keys!Thanks for maintaining the cache

Full time Nomads, travelling around Australia since 2014. Moving today from Moss Vale to Richmond. Stopped along the way to grab a couple of LGA's. Once set up at Wanderest we ducked out to find a couple of local caches.we replaced the logsheet here. TFTC Blundo Busters

Not a good way to start the day with a DNF. Got to GZ, had a good look around but just couldnt find it. Thanks anyway.

Visited it during 28-days geotrip to Australia, N.Caledonia, Vanuatu, Fiji, Am.Samoa, Fr.Polynesia with Marci, Ch. Sometimes we logged as "MT" or "Jonea" or "MTCh". Thanks for showing nice caches and places. MT-Jonea from Brno city in Czechia EU. Wet logbook

A quick find, I was unable to sign the log. TFTC.

Thank you!

We are on another short (three day) caching holiday in North Western Sydney, staying for two nights in a park cabin at the Ingenia Holidays Avina BIG4 Holiday Park at Vineyard. Hoping to collect some previously solved Mystery/Puzzle caches, complete some Adventure Labs, and accumulate enough cache finds with our mini seven day streak for this month’s "Wheel of Challenges" (medium) souvenir. Photos will be uploaded to some (most) logs on our return to home base.

Today (day 2) started with an exploration of the area around Riverstone, collecting some Traditional caches and going for a walk around the Riverstone CBD for an Adventure Lab and it's associated AL Bonus cache, but sadly there was also several DNFs. After lunch we headed up to Richmond for a four stage MultiCache and a couple of Traditional caches. This was the 13th of 15 finds for the day (day 2), and 20th find of the holiday.

After a morning of caching around Riverstone we returned to the cabin for lunch, then headed up to Richmond for the afternoon. Stopped off at this one along the way, and it was a nice quick find on arrival at GZ. The log was totally full, so we took a photo of it instead of signing (will upload the photo on our return to home base), and then replaced as found. TFTC Blundo Busters.

Find #6207

Found it

Train on! TFTC

Log is un readable and un signable

After a rather warm parkrun nearby, and on my way to some high terrain hides, thought I’d swing by here to avenge two previous misadventures which is the best way to describe it. However, this trip proved successful. Unfortunately, the log refused to dislodge, so I could not sign it. Replaced and headed out to my other targets.

A little tricky, but got there in the end.

TFTC little buggur was hiding

This one was close by to the Showgrounds where we had come to witness the Flyball Nationals. Knowing how tricky BB hides can be, we just had to look for this hide. It took us a while, but eventually we spotted the little cache. Signing the log was just as tricky. Eventually a woulnd marker pen did the job. Thanks BB for placing the cache.

Nice easy hide
Log book full, pen or pencil wouldn't work trying to write on top of other signatures
Have a photo if needed for proof I found it
Over this way visiting the camping and caravan show which wasn't as good as it was last time we came

Out and about in Windsor & Richmond finding unfound caches since my last visit to the area (which has been a while!). This was the very last cache for the day, I had debated even attempting it given the number of DNFs (and I believe I might have even DNFed this cache years ago but forgotten to log it). I find Blundo hides are either incredibly easy (rare) or excruciatingly difficult (common) to find, so I wasn't too hopeful.

I parked a few meters from GZ and wandered over, had a casual glance over the living object without expecting to find anything. I dropped my eyes to the ground and spied something out-of-place lying in the dirt, which turned out to be the cache container! Crikey!

I'm not too sure exactly where it was supposed to be, there was no obvious places to hide such a cache, so I signed the log and relocated the container a couple of metres away to the nearest object that would be able keep it attached. TFTC Blundo!

Could not find. Also my search got stopped by a Sydney Transport workers

No idea

Hard find

A nice quiet location. Fortunately, found quickly. TFTC Blundo Busters

The second roadtrip after lockdown with the goal of of reaching 10,000 finds by year end. Covid-19 lockdown put a spanner in the works and with only two months remaining in 2021 to find 200+ caches. So it was time to select caches based on quantity rather than quality. However there were still caches on beautiful and unexpected locations.
So today's trip brought me to the area of Richmond, Kurmond and Kurrajong. I also planned a bit of an off-road trip to Mountain Lagoon for three out-of-the-way caches.

Another one of the train spotter series on the grounds of the local race track. Parking was very easy and almost next to the cache. After checking the compass for North the cache was quickly CIH.

This was 3 of 31 finds today. TFTC!

Tricky one! Took us a while, but Crafty Dusty came up with the goods. As a train guard, I often go along this line, so will think of this cache and today whenever I go past here now. Cheers!

Thanks for the hide. Log is a bit water damaged and all the signatures are rubbed away. Fun find though. Thanks

Found with Pete!
TFTC!

Hehehe took awhile and was fun to find

Hiding in plain view

Easy one but good

Quick and easy find. Hidden in plain sight. Log is hard to read and the plastic coating makes it hard to write on it. I used a pen and half my name came off it. I see that some of the other writing has come off. Maybe need a new log that’s easier to write on?

DNF

It's there and it was a quick and easy find, well for me, which isn't usual for a BB hide!

Today, being a beautiful winter's day, I was heading out to Richmond to look for some of those puzzle caches which I'd solved during the lockdown.
I had my plan of attack for just such a day and when I got up today looked perfect.

I'd planned to stop here at Clarendon on the way past and last night when I did a quick check I noticed this cache had been disabled. How annoying is that!
As I drove past I decided to have a look anyway as all those dnf's are new cachers who are not experienced and tend to say its gone when it isn't.

So I was delighted to find the cache right where the GPS pointed, and in plain view. Like hides like that!
2 trains at the station as I came across the level crossing after the bells stopped ringing. Same on the way back.

Great start to the day.
Cache # 3947

Found by a very seasoned cacher. Previous DNF's were of cachers with less than 50 finds each.

Hi Blundo Busters,

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 45 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time please be sure to **post a note** (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 45 days to keep everyone up to date, if you do not then you cache may be archived without further note from a reviewer. Caches archived due to lack of maintenance are no longer unarchived and you will need to submit a replacement as a new cache.

Searched for a fair bit, yet I couldn't find it at all!

Like the last 2 people we didn’t find the cache!
Referred to hints and pics from others but no luck! (This time).

Oh wow, really in your face once u spot it, very sneaky indeed. Found after a brief search TFTC

TFTC!! Took us about 15 minutes but once we spotted it it seemed so obvious!

Maintenance needed log full no room to write great hide TF

Thank you

Signed the log as best one can

On my way to north Sydney straight after work today to set up a good weekend of caching. Making most of daylight I started caching early to do most of the driving later when dark. Once near Windsor and Richmond I also did a bit of night caching. Quickly found.

We were out and about today, grabbing some random caches from all over Sydney, and with no particular plan, these were the caches we found today.

---
We pulled up to GZ in the geomobile, and the area indicated as GZ by the GPS seemed relatively sparse. Where could the cache be?

A quick hunt, and soon the cache revealed itself in a hide we haven't seen before. But once we found it, the location made complete sense.

Out for lunch with some geofriends and with a couple of cache's close by it wasn't long before we had this cih
Tftc

Approached GZ, initially nothing looked like a plausible hiding spot, then we noticed one potential, and bingo! CIH, SL, and returned.

TFTC

Check all the logical places and looked at photos posted by others. No luck this time and hopefully it hasn’t been muggled.

Will check again when I have some more time

Heading to events at Ebenezer and decided to do a detour. It took some searching before I looked closer at something and there it was! Signed log and returned as found. TFTC

Small and round

It's very small and round !!

Definitely extra small TFTC

Yay!! #3 for the day! This one caught the corner of my eye and was the easiest find for us. Thanks for filling our avo

This was the thirteenth of 17 finds for the day. After finding ‘The Chumbawamba Tree’, I indicated to mizmaz that there were a couple of caches in the ‘Hearts’ series nearby that I had already found and given mizmaz had just started on the series, she was keen to find a few more along the way. After finishing with the ‘Hearts’ caches, we finished the detour and headed in the direction of this cache. I had already found the other Train Spotter caches from the end of the line at Richmond but this was the small section of caches that I had not yet attempted. Whilst I was apprehensive given my experience with Train Spotter caches, mizmaz had not found any so I was giving her some ideas as to what to look for and the problems with GPS signals when caching next to the train line. We parked as close as we could to GZ given our respective foot injuries and started looking for possible hides. Mizmaz must have had some beginner’s luck as she spied the cache. SL. TFTC.

Had been planning a cache run with a PAF for ages, so today we were not going to let injuries (me with a sprained ankle and Sarah_Frances a broken toe) postpone yet another attempt to catch up. Downgrading the D/T options in our combined PQs, “Team Invalids” hit the road to tick off a couple of quick drive-bys. Probably got more done in the day than the 2 or 3 tricky terrains we had been aiming for and saw me starting my Train Spotter collection.

Late log.

Found yesterday. Sneaky spot could be prime muggle territory at times.

Good to go

First cache of the day after a long hiatus. Was in the area, and after a coffee in Windsor I decided to grab this one. Parked in the shade about 20m, walked to GZ and made the find immediately. Nice new log, thanks BB! TFTC

Now this type of paper is okay for larger caches, but needs a permanent fine point to log. Simple and effective hide Mr White Dot. Many thanks to CO **Blundo Busters ** for establishing and maintaining another regional cache.

Hidden in plain sight. Love it. Found with LittleSparr0w. TFTC

Thanks

Needs a new logbook

Tftc

An easy find once I figured out which side of the railway line to approach from. The log has become a smudged mess so I made some more marks on top of the existing smudges. That will have to do.

Found it

Deceptively easy.

Teeny tiny

I'm working in the area for a few weeks and looking forward to collecting lots of caches in this region.
Looking forward to collecting a few of BB's TS caches today.
Okay, well, I was not expecting a cache where I found it. The log was a little difficult to sign and the coating was coming off the log sheet, and with limited space I could only use initials After signing log I returned it to its hiding spot.
