Thanks to everyone that searched for this geocache and had fun adventure in the spiky bushes. I've relocated to Melbourne and unfortunately cannot maintain this geocache any more. Sorry to anyone that didn't get a chance to find it.

Keep on caching!

Couldn't find:(

Nice quick find for me on this one, thanks for that and TFTC

Couldn't find anything so I tried the other one and that proved successful, so maybe the co-ords are a bit out. They were for me or maybe its the major electrical system overhead.
Hate those spikey bushes!!

Cache # 1392

We have visited some nice parks during our trip today in Northmead, Winston Hills, Baulkham Hills and Bella Vista and found this very nice cache.

Had to get geo buddy Bluewattle to nab this one because the lomandra bushes don't like me, thanks mchylins and TFTC.

Found with Snickersallan, stinking spiky bushes

Made our way through the scrub to GZ. Thanks to DarkAvengerX for the stick which we also left at he most convenient entrance. Park muggle-free today. SL TFTC Cheers... Gaztek

TFTC.
Glad I was wearing jeans, those bushes would've sliced my legs up. Although it had just rained so being in thongs wasn't the best idea. I left a big stick at the right entrance if you need to move an GeoGuards.

Thanks for the prickly cache. Glad I had jeans on. Great coords. TFTC. #250

Spikey plants, found after short search with geosister. Signed log. TFTC

I must be barking blind today, could not see it for the leaves.

Prickly bushes

A very quick and easy find as the co-ords are good. TFTC.

Found it laying on the ground. It was covered with small ants so haven't signed it. Made a pix instead. Maybe some ants spray?

No. 423

Nice quick one on the way home. TFTC.

Thankfully this cache was easy to locate on this wet cold afternoon.
Managed to extract log wothout tweezzers,
Nice hide

The log is getting quite full, may need replacing soon, all dry good though.

Woaaahh

Last stop on my geoadventure with Lans_92. We found some chooks near the cache. Maybe they were geocaching? We found it pretty quickly, due to the hint. The camo was pretty impressive. TFTC!

22/2/15. 8:53 AM. Cache #2271. Streak day #245. 5th and final cache for this morning. Again, just a short drive from the previous find, "The Steps". When I got to the garden edge, I paused as there were a few muggles out and about walking and I was sure getting into the garden would look suss.

Once the coast was clear, I was pretty sure where to start looking and I followed the gaps and trampled bits from previous cachers to get to this clear spot. Once there, I made an easy find - quickly signed the log and got back to the lawn. Although the rain was holding off for now, all the plants were wet and now so were my shoes & socks. Once back in the car, the heavens opened up, so that was good timing! TFTC }:)

Found a while back, never logged.
Neat spot!

Checking up on cache, all in good order.

Was a bit tricky, but pleased to find

Yeah can understand why so many people have found it to be tricky. Surprisingly dry considering last nights storms. Tftc

I didn't find it. Really hard to fine

Don't worry about that other comment. I found it after a while awesome hiding !!!

Good hiding

Ouchies! Found it at night on o full moon, it was very tricky!

Found it at night! Good spot.

YAY! Blake made the find, but Max, Zac, Mia and Abigail were all searching hard. Ouchy spikes this time of year lol!

Extremely well hidden. Good job!

Yay first one

First one !

What A Find!

A nice quick walk-by find. Although some beat me to it today.
Thanks for the cache.

Found it with geofriend. The historic ramble was very interesting, thanks for the cache!

I think power lines play wth my gps ..no more cache looking near lines for me..way to frustrating or mayb its not here

Got poke and scratched but finally found the cache scattered in different places. Found a bit of paper used to SL. It was stuck in the tube. Found the cache thrown on the some other path away from the contsinerp

Sorry about the mistake on previous post. I found the cache. The log was in tact lucky and I found the lid. Found your bit of paper Wayward Woman. I've put it all back together now. Tried to put it where it belonged. Tftc SL original log that is.

We went to find this cache but I couldn't find it. Then I looked at the logs and saw that it wasn't there so I decided to go.I will come back for this once it's replaced.

Will investigate soon

Container and log missing.

#2624- I had been here once before and found this one elusive, but today I found it instantly. The container is actually missing though, but I found what was around it and the attachment. There was no log so I have placed a piece of paper inside the tube. Needs maintenance though.

Nice easy find. Had to watch for muggles

Tftc. Bza

This was a lovely little find, I enjoyed finding this park, the gardens are very pleasant but ruined by the power tower. SL #1477 on streak day #721 TFTC

Thanks For The Cache mchylins, full log to follow.

I was in the area for my twice-annual dental checkup, which I usually combine with a quick caching trip. I had a work call pending, and knew I wouldn't get home in time, so decided to find a cache while I waited. I parked near the reserve, and saw a muggle walking her dog, so took my time approaching GZ. My phone wasn't settling, so I circled the spot for a little while before eventually making my way to the right spot. I signed the log, replaced the container and its camo, then headed back to my car for the call. TFTC

My 100th cache!! First to sign the new log......... Great camo. TFTC

Cache back in play. Slightly different from the first version, but shouldn't affect the difficulty. Good Luck!

Cache has been repaired and will be replaced within 48 hours.

Still no luck. Plenty of chickens though!!

I've checked and it looks like the cache is missing.
I will have it replaced soon.

I'll take a look and check to see if it's still there in the coming days.

wandered around in the spiky grass for a while, GPS was all over the place due to the overhead wires............... then it started to rain!!.............. ah well......... another time!!

Power-lines played havoc with our GPS. Thought we found it, but the suspicious object we located after reading the hint didn't contain anything, so we'll have to try again another time.

got it

TFTC nice hide

Happy New Year but so could not find it!

Team GarrardsGold has struck again. Great camo and nice spot defiantly bring tweezers. Was very hard to find.

Dnf

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Nice camp YOLO

Great camo

Found pretty quickly with the hint. Nice cache container! TFTC!

Great camo

Great camo

The spikey plants are a nightmare. What a clever Camo though

Our first geocache

Really well disguised cool spot!

After a while of searching we came up with the goods, checking something that just didn't look right. Nice camo TFTC.

#123 (6 of 9 today)

I really don't like these finds, because I have so much trouble with them.
With this one, the added fun of overhead high voltage wires had me wandering for a bit, trying to pinpoint GZ. On the first search, I was about 5 metres away - not great when you're surrounded by spiky plants.
Finally convinced myself I needed to check another spot. Once there I immediately saw something slightly out of place. To my surprise it was the cunningly crafted camo.
So pleased I found it.

Hunted around in the sea of sharp green and then gave up and looked at the clue. Spotted the well done camo at the second spot I checked

With only 5 mins to spare before a nearby event we were glad to have CIH in no time flat.

Our second visit to this one after a previous DNF and when we realised we were aiming our sights too high the cache revealed itself. This was the third version of this hide we'd found today.

A nice Easy Drive by Thanks

expected more water being named so.
checked under about 10 bushes before checking clue
then quick find.
TFTC

The clue helps a lot!

An interesting spot, a little tricky to get to without causing too much damage to the shrubbery but managed to work my way in. Actually had cache in hand without realising it and carried on searching, before another check and there it was! Thanks mchylins.

Clever hide. Took me a while to find it. Thanks mchylins

was right under my nose the whole time!

Haha it was awesome, looks great!

I forgot my GPSr and had to use the phone which normally performs quite well but which today had a mind of its own. It literally had us looking all over the park. Basically all we had to go on was the hint and, from that, a fairly good idea of what we were looking for. However, without a GZ this did not seem to be enough until, just as we were about to depart, I checked one last place, spotted something and unexpectedly had CIH.

It was a relief to finally find it and we decided that, without the GPSr, we would not push our luck any further and attempt any more caches today.

Nice camo and hide, thanks mchylins.

It took us a while to find this as our equipment refused to cooperate. At the last minute, Mr MR spotted something and suddenly picked up the cache. We sat down at the weird bench to sign the log then returned the cache as found. TFTC

Lots of places to hide things, and the container is a tricky beast. But luckily I read the hint, and was able to find it without too much searching.

Thanks for the cache, mchylins

Stopped by on my way home from soccer. Hmmm a micro amongst so many grass bushes, almost made me want to run away. Rethought what I might be looking for, and sure enough I found it. I liked this one a lot. Always nice to see something creative.

Easy find co rods spot on tftc

Very nice cammo and clever hide. Found this one on way home after trip down from nearby Caber Park. SL TFTC.

Very hot and ran out of time.

It was beyond us today on this warm afternoon. The GPS was like a squirrel glider jumping from tree to tree. Will need to try another day.

Great cache

Most difficult part is getting log back in cache.

Well the GPS had me going a little all over the place when I arrived at GZ, so after letting it settle down a bit, I looked where it pointed I should go.. Hmm Micro and lots of hiding spots. Being in a bit of a rush, plus a rather hot day on my way home from work, I resorted to the clue.

Nice little hide and nice camo.

Signed log on the nearby seat and replaced cache where I had found it.

Found it while out with the dog. After finding the two in Caber Park we continued on to this one on foot. Nice camo on this, the hint helped. TFTC

Found on a very hot day scootering around Winsto. GPS was playing up and after 10 minutes, it settled and a quick find was had thanks to the clue. A little worried who's watching from the nearby houses, but no drama's. TFTC.

Ah, this one took me back to my youth! In the middle of summer, a group of us would head through to Loch Lomond with the speedboats to water-ski. You still needed a full thick wet-suit to avoid hypothermia in mid-July!

Today was altogether more pleasant, and once the gps settled down, I found the cache with the help of the hint - very nicely constructed! SL at the nearby seat, and replaced.

TFTC, mchylins!

CC.

Tftc found with club_spec9

Really good hide! Great camo. TFTC

Interesting placement. Some thought has gone into the camo.

Bush bashing was required to get it.

Thanks for the cache!
