Couldn't resist another search with the whole fam. Saturday arvo was a much better time for it, but still did not result in a smiley.
 
14-Jun-19
Had a quick look, but felt incomfortable with the constant stream of factory workers out on smoko. One for a Sunday I reckon.
 
03-May-19
Has anyone actually found this in the last 2 years? Not sure how reliable the last two "finds" are.

Found a while ago logging cause we changed our name from team Noah to ggfamily

Nowhere to be seen, unless on a railroad, not there

Couldnt find this one.
 
09-Feb-18
Turned up around 6pm on a Friday afternoon, thought the area would have been deserted, but there were a group of workers hanging around across the road.

I might come back to this one once BB has assessed whether it is still present.
 
28-Oct-17
Not sure where I was supposed to be. I'll watch this one

#3295 - ahhh. Found it this time, after the recent road works. Certainly caught me **hook** line and sinker this one. Many thanks to Blundo Busters for another local cache.

Quick cache check 3/5/17 09:55:
Temp fencing does not restrict access to cache.
Good to go.

Quite a bit of works here so the cache may have been compromised. Check the photo of new gutter works here.

found it today
 
27-Oct-16
1st one for the day, as I headed out for a spot of Caching with AWTYON and Geogangstas.
Once all the muggles finished morning tea and went back to work Geogangsta had it in hand nice and quickly.
TFTH
 
As we pulled up to attempt some of the trainspotter series, we were concerned our first cache of the day may not happen as about 50 employees of a nearby factory stood around on a break. Thankfully they all filed back inside as we did a u-turn so we jumped out and geo-gangstas quickly had CIH. TFTC!
 
27-Oct-16
First of the day with AWTYOW and SlurpeeClan. When the muggles disappeared i managed to grab this one quickly. TFTC.

Drove by this one a few times, but there was always workers around. Specifically went after it today on a public holiday, and was rewarded. TFTC
 
12-Apr-16
No luck for me today, thanks anyway
 
05-Mar-16
Me and letunechi found it straight away. It was a brilliant hide though.
 
12-Feb-16
Getting the hang of it all. Great hide!
 
28-Dec-15
Approached GZ on todays public holiday. Nice and quiet, with the whole street to myself. Wow, how cool with the old siding tracks still here. I didn't notice them until I was almost on top of them. Growing familiar with the railway series, I found the cache in under a minute. Both the cache and log are in great condition. Thanks Blundo! Smile
 
07-Dec-15
An instrumentality had done grass clearing near a Telstra(?) post and I worried for the cache. My signal led me sideways and obvious geotrails indicated a hide 3m away.
I noticed a tell-tale BB 'signature' and extracted the cahe for signing.

TFTC it was a nice hide. My first in the trainspotter series.

#2226 (2 of 4 today)

Today's publishing started and one was very close to home. With no First2Find this month I left immediately, but the cache had already been muggled.
So went off and found 3 other caches, including one previous DNF, then back to the F2F where the CO had just arrived...
[center]END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION[/center]
Parked over the road and walked GZ-wards.
After spotting nothing, I relocated slightly as the iPhone decided I was still a few metres away - and spotted something suss... CIH!

Took away to complete signing duties as a muggle arrived sand decided to park right near the cache. So decided to take it with me to Train Spotter - Marayong. Hopefully after the walk there and back he'll be gone.
And he was. Replaced without problems.

Out for a quick cache hunt with Trodectus. One of BB's trainspotter easier ones to find. TFTC
 
18-Sep-15
Found it while out with Coybear2000. This was one of the fastest we've found from this series so far. We still needed to be careful with the number of vehicles coming and going and parking nearby. TFTC
 
04-Aug-15
Another morning on my bike caching. Only found 2 as I had a flat tyre after number 2:( This was the first one.

Looked in the wrong spot but after reading logs I found it. Great hide. Loved it. Lots of work men around probably wondering what the women with the bike helmet was doing... haha.....

29/07/15. 2:34 PM. Cache #2747. Streak day #402.
9th of 11 this afternoon, clearing out micros between Quakers Hill, Marayong and Kings Park.

After finding "Train Spotter - Marayong", it was only a short drive around to get this one. The satellite photo seemed to indicate that the old rails that can be seen on Harvey Road point straight towards the cache, so I followed this line. No cache, but I followed the fence south a couple of metres and saw a classic BB hide. Cache in hand. SL, replaced and then drove on to "Night Friendly #1 - pick 'a' cache". TFTC.

I had to head out this way today so decided to search for a few caches in the area. This one took longer than it should have really, but reading some past logs pushed me in the right direction and it was found soon after that. Thanks Blundo Busters.

Nice hide spot - thanks Blundo Busters
 
13-Nov-14
Having now completed a few more of the Train Spotter series after my previous DNF attempt, I am much more clued into the type of hides they generally are, so after reviewing previous logs again I had a better idea of where to look, and this time I had CIH very quickly. SL TFTC Blundo! Smile

#103 - Looking 4 Cache iPad App & Garmin eTrex 30

This is an awkward location to get to but today I had sometime and after reading past logs about workers leaving the factories, the middle of the day seemed like a good time. I pulled up right near GZ but it wasn't a park and grab for me. Like previous Blundo hides, I checked in the usual places but didn't find anything. Then I looked a little further left and right and saw a typical Blundo hiding spot. I tried it and out came the cache. SL. TFTC.

29-May-14
Having left work a little early, I had an opportunity to hop off the train a few stops early an search for a couple of BB Train Spotter series caches before heading home. It was pretty dark by the time I reached GZ but so I had to resort to the flashlight app on my phone (which actually worked quite well). I managed to find every piece of rubbish dumped in the area but not the cache, and eventually ran out of time, so headed back to Marayong station to jump back on the next train. Will return during daylight hours to find this one. Cheers BB!

First of a few finds walking the area. TFTC!!

Just as I found this one, all the workers from a factory unit nearby came pouring out... trying to act casual :/

Another early morning start with Jfindit today with the trainspotter series in our sights, the series spans over many suburbs and kilometres with a variety of creative ways to hide the mostly micro / nano style cache, I did enjoy this series but found some of the coords slightly out but widening the search area slightly usually provided a positive result thanks to the CO for the time and effort you’ve put into this series SLTNLN TFTC
 
28-Nov-13
Second attempt still no luck
 
06-Oct-13
Quick & easy find with my eldest geogirl! The co-ords were bouncing around for a while, but once it settled we made the find very quickly - clever concept. SL / TFTC
 
20-Sep-13
Good hide. Tftc.

Kept walking down from the station, pretty messy, so many places to look. So read some logs and that made it much easier. A classic BB hide. TFTCBB.
 
20-Sep-13
Great cache. Interesting hide.
 
19-Aug-13
2nd log in place. Cache on.
 
11-Aug-13
After about 10 mins I was out of time and had given up, sat in the car, and then saw a suspect spot. Sure enough there was the cache!
 
09-Aug-13
Stopped on my way home from work. Hoping for a quick find and before all the workers knocked off. I scrounged around and then my time was up, I thought no luck. Walked back to my bike and put my helmet back on, turned to have another look and thought I wonder if... Bam! There she was! TFTC Smile

Started looking for this one and like others, I was not too keen to go poking through all the rubbish. Fortunately, there where also some hints in the logs that pointed me in the right direction and I quickly had the CIH. TFTC!

We decided to spend a day in the area trying to grab as many of the Train Spotter series as we could. As it ended up - we didn't find as many as we planned as we ran our of time and there were a few DNFs along the way. This one was one that we had success with.

We had the area to ourselves for a quick find. TFTC

Another good hide, enjoying this series. SL TFTC

Noticed something was amiss - nice hide guys
 
05-Apr-13
needing another find for the day, wondered over to this one as it was close to the nearest one from where i was working 10kms away as i have cleared out large sections of the western suburbs near the industrial sites. just as i arrived the phone rings and i spend 10 Min on the phone, meanwhile a person pulls up and pulls out his fishing line ???? sets it up and then drives off?? very strange. a quick grab after getting of the phone.

The morning spent caching with my good mate AMGSARI, we found quite a few but unfortunately we also had a couple of DNF as well, all part of caching.

Very busy location this morning with plenty of truck movements. We searched about for a few minutes before AMGSARI made to find. Log signed and all replaced.

Tks ... Blundo Busters ... GazMag
