I set out to find a few in Blacktown to fill a vacancy in my find calendar and ended up travelling west through Acacia Gardens and Quakers Hill for 10 finds and 3 DNFs.
I searched pretty extensively but no success was had.
The CO should check or disable it until he/she can.

I really really don't like caches with big scary dogs behind fences next to them! In spite of the dog (and the creepy sighting of an abandoned stroller by the creek) we kept up the search for this cache. Unfortunately 2 adults and 3 kids couldn't find this one today.
Look around over and under with no luck. It's been a while since someone logged something here. Perhaps with all the water that the area has had it washed away?
It would be good if the CO could check this one out as it has been quite a while since a find was recorded and a lot of water has passed down this waterway in recent months. I only had a quick look around but couldn't see any sign of the cache in likely hiding spots.
No joy. Me and BigCarbonFootprint and I are here from the states. We are staying with relatives with this cache closest to us. Look twice. Thank this one needs checking around.
Late log. Found this on a previous jaunt into the area and only realised when I came back for some others. TFTC.
Nice easy quick find, I was a little worried when I arrived at the CZ that the rain last night may have washed the cache away. but all was good the cache was dry.
Found it after a lot of balancing;) I don't like these kind of hides as my balance is absolute crap. But it was a good hide. Logbook was slightly damp but still in good condition. Dog next door scared the hell out of me with his sudden barking hahaha. I do think that the terrein rating should be higher. Tftc

It was Right were I thought it would be... sort of.
You Bay need a new Log because people are starting to write on the back of it. But it's a full page so it's no rush.
You also need a new Zip lock bag as the one there now has a few small holes in it an doesn't close properly.
Cheers

#1933 (4 of 7 today)
Decided to head north west for today's cache haul. Found seven before leaving to visit my mother, but also DNFed a few - mostly due to muggle incursions.
[center]END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION[/center]
Took a little while to find this as there were so many spots to check. But soon enough I came to a spot and thought it looked very likely. And so it proved.
CIH!
Completed signing duties and replaced. Then walked to my next target...

I took a detour on the way home from Blacktown to attempt a couple of hides in Acacia Gardens. This was the first. Thankfully, it did not take me long as I felt a little exposed with the overlooking houses and the loudly barking dog, which sent me on my way.
Nice one, thanks HappyPaintball.

Not too hard needs new log sheet.

Nice find, good little swaps available. Unfortunately it was totally uncovered Making it a bit easier. Rehid in the same spot slightly hidden
Decided to grab a few caches this morning, as rain was expected for the afternoon.
Many thanks for placing this cache, HappyPaintball, for us and others to find.

Decided to do a few in the area on my way home from a job.
Nice quick find, was a bit exposed so I covered it a bit better.

#24 a short walk to find the cache, didn't swap anything took a moment to think where it would be
25/1/15. 10:15 AM. Cache #2203. Streak day #217. Last of 7 caches today; finishing with a few around Acacia Gardens. I came here from "Cachea Gardens - Chase Drive" and thought that this was going to be a nice, easy park & grab to finish on. It took a little longer than I expected, but once I got to the right end it was simple. Time to head for home; TFTC }:)
It was raining and dark and I couldn't take my iPad, when I looked at the map again I got a better view of where it really was
Parked on Mitchell Rd. Was on wrg side but found it. Tftc well hidden. Took card for Jesus. Left 2 pirate coins. SL
De-burring after finding this one was the hardest part. Nice work for your first.

Did not take too long to find this one, lots of crows feet to snag onto you here.
May the 4th be with you!

Not the nicest of places to hunt for a cache, but an easy find in the end without having to enter the forest of farmers friends below.
Found on a short bike ride through Quakers Hill and Acacia Gardens. Was almost muggled out of this one with some neighbours sitting on the steps out the front of their house accross the street, but thankfully they jumped into their car and drove away leaving me to search in peace. I was startled by a small green frog as I turned over one particular rock, I may have unfortunately dropped the rock on top of the poor little critter in my fright. 
Eventually found the cache and SL, although got a little dirty in the process and covered in little prickles! TFTC HappyPaintball!

Found while away geocaching with tmann421. Thanks to all the great hiders out there that enabled us to see some fantastic views & places in NSW. Sorry for the late logs but it will be Xmas before I catch up
Ahhh. Finally, on my second visit to this rock-infested waterway, I can cross Happy's first off my list. After inspecting plenty of caves which almost required rope and carabiners, I finally read the hint again and took it literally. Big smile for finally getting this one. Thanks HP!
A nice quick find to end an otherwise fairly frustrating day on the GC trail.
Started off on the wrong side and ended up covered in Farmer's Friends! Noisy muggle dog caused me to delay for a bit, but finally managed a quick find.TNLN SL TFTC!
Out on a early morning bike ride, ended up doing 20km all up, and I can't remember how many I attempted.
Thanks for a nice easy one, and finally a small cache

Nice hide & good little spot in the middle of suburbia. Took travel bug. Left homemade geocaching badge. SL / TFTC
Drive along here every now and again so thought it was about time I stopped. Found. Signed. Returned. TFTC.
