This hide will become part of a consolidation of 2 archived caches giving way to a brand new listing close by.
Passing on the way back to a friend’s after a day out caching, made the quick stop with confidence having an on-hand PAF sitting in the car. However, her hint appeared out dated and I made a quicker find than a previous attempt a few months ago.
Out in the beautiful country side with Bluewattle enjoying picking up a few caches in the area, neat hide.

Another day OCW marj01. After a very early start from the eastern subs we arrived at Ebenezer at first light to commence the day. During the course of the day we visited 69 trads, 4 multis, 2 puzzle and 2 letterbox caches. With only a handfull of dnfs it was a successfull day, with the majority of the caches being found in a reasonably short time. Thanks to all the COs for hiding and maintaining their caches and providing us with a fun day. Cheers oldmorty.
i found a container of used syringes in this GZ. i kicked them onto the train line side so nobody searching for this cache sticks their fingers in it. i hope that wasnt the idea of the clue, 'caution'.
unless that was the what the cache was in, i had no luck

Found by Mary & David at 1130. A fairly easy one this time, so we cheered up after the previous DNF. Another train went by, so the service on this line seems pretty good. Our thanks to Blundo Busters.
Another nicely hidden cache for today, after having been out almost a full day caching around this area. The GPS said 10 m off + while Hegla's Android was more spot on.
All you streakers are crazy. Today I had to drive 15mins here to grab a find after two local ones were DNF's. Finally, a CIH. Thanks Blundo. Train departed then I replaced the log. Paper is a bit torn on one end but otherwise ok.
My iPhone was sending me all over the place so I had to rely on my geo-instinct. It worked. Log is little bit damp (especially top part) but I found a dry part where I could sign. Replaced as found. TFTC
I didn't trust my instincts..... got to be more like Gibbs and trust my gut. Easy find really. Log is close to full.
Couldn't see anything that resembled the hint except a rogue road reflector but nothing around it... too tough for us today
I'm back working in the area for a few weeks.
Having caught up on some well overdue online logging, I was eager to tick off another TS series cache and make amends on this DNF.
Armed with a morsel of intel from the CO I headed to a familiar GZ. You are kidding me!!!
I found the cache within 2 minutes and a mere 1.5 meters from where I had previously concentrated my search. How could I have missed this.
Thank you for another great hide in the Train Spotte Series.
Find: 368
1st of 8 finds for today
0 DNFs for today
Cache: in good condition
Log/Logbook: In good condition with lots of room left.

I'm working in the area for a few weeks and looking forward to collecting lots of caches in this region.
I was particularly looking forward to grab a sting of BBs Train Spotter caches this morning between here and Richmond.
One thing that be come to expect from BB is to expect the unexpected.
Unfortunately I have come up empty handed this morning after a 20min search on my first Cache. Not sure what I'm missing, let's hope my next visit is more

#3307 walked past it twice and found coming from another angle. Kept looking for a more direct sign rather than a cryptic interpretation. But if it doesn't belong then it must be checked! And so it was with success. Many thanks to the CO **Blundo Buster** for this TS series, involving establishing with the authority and subsequent maintenance thereof.
Had no problems in finding this cache. The cache was found quickly and easily. The log was signed and the cache was replaced as found. Thank you Blundo Busters for placing this cache.
In Sydney for the morning for work and decided to grab a few random caches on the way home. A little bit of triangulation from the GPS helped make a quick find. TNLN TFTC
Found it after completing the nearby power trail with delloro. We managed to grab 70 from 71 today!
Decided to get some more on our way back to the car.
Tried a few in this "Train Spotter" series.
This took longer than anticipated but I managed to spot it eventually. Well hidden!

Found it while in the area with the dog. As per other logs, this one was a quick find which is very unusual for BB caches. TFTC
#231 First find of the day caching around Vineyard. Easy find in the end after a short search and using the old theory of looking for something out of place. TFTC
I had a look but I found it too dark. Contactpete came up with the goods and located cache within a few minutes.
After a quick look found nothing, then looked at the previous logs.
Found it isn't a standard for this CO, so went back for one last check.

Count got slightly out of whack but in 4 hours I got 20 cache. Now off home. It has been a good day caching I think I'm about 15 short of 700. TFTC.
Nice quick & easy find for once ... given that BB's are usually at least one rating point higher than he notes I nearly overthought this one today. TFTC!
#2318 (7 of 15 today)
Decided to head back up Windsor Road today, and then stopped once I'd got to Riverstone. Plenty of possible finds up this way, and I did indeed hit the jackpot with 15 finds (plenty of Blundo Busters' Train Spotter series actually found), 1 DNF and an "OOPS, I'll call that a DNF too".
Back home via Annangrove Road for a few more finds before heading for home well before dusk.
[center]END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION[/center]
Looked in the right place almost immediately for the quick find. Not what I'd call a typical hide for this CO.
That's three quick Train Spotter hides in a row. I think that's a first for me. Not that I'm looking a gift horse in the mouth...
Completed signing duties and on my way again. Whole day going quite well so far.

Yay, the rain has stopped!
Parked in "the station carpark", ha ha, and walked back to GZ.
While I was collecting my smilie an 8 car Tangara stopped at the station. After walking back to the car I had to wait at the level crossing while the same train came through on the return journey but this time it didn't stop.
TFTC #952 and 5th on my lucky day!

#221 – Geocaching Live for Windows Phone & Garmin eTrex 30
This was the second of six finds for today. After finding ‘Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me’, I pushed on to ‘Water Towers #15 – South Windsor’. Unfortunately, this was not successful and I decided to head to ‘Water Towers #05 – Carlingford’. This was a long drive so I broke it up by finding this Train Spotter. Again, I pulled over but this time there was much less traffic and using the hint, I had CIH in seconds. SL. TFTC.

Much easier to find than the last in this series. Though I think I disturbed some of the sleeping locals.
Thanks for the cache.

Found on an epic caching expedition to uncover Train Spotter and other nearby caches starting at Schofields and ending up near Bligh Park / Windsor Downs. Some of these Train Spotter caches are pretty well hidden and difficult to find, thankfully this particular cache was relatively straightforward to find. SL TFTC Blundo!
I just love a power trail. I will enjoy the next few years hacking away at this series.
Doing another in the series close by, this was too close to leave undone.
The clue was very useful but not sure what the container is supposed to be attached to ?
Found just laying on the ground???
SL and returned to base of hint.
Might need CO check when next passing this way.

I was in the area picking up a multi-cache and decided to attempt a couple more hides nearby. This one took a bit of time to locate as my GPSr took ages to settle and seemed to want me right on the edge of the road. Eventually, however, I spotted the attractive container. I don’t know how I’d missed it.
