While here on a trip from Tasmania I thought I would do a couple of quick finds with my mum. As the weather was not good and I was out with my mum before having to go back to the airport to head home I could not look for to long.I did not find this one, next trip.
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.
Signed the ever so slightly damp log, the first one we’ve been able to today due to DNFs and soaking wet logs (not including the event!) - enjoying this walk so thanks for bringing us here as we celebrate International Geocaching Day today.
After completing a nearby AL I decided to grab a few of the Windsor Road caches. Thanks for placing these caches and the information in the description of each of these caches Morley 196.
Today I'm getting some exercise and plowing through this power trail. I found a couple of caches near by for my birthday in Feb of 2020 and have had my eyes on the rest. My plan is to walk one way, find caches when I feel like stopping and on the way back pick up the ones I skipped.
WOOHOO double digits! #10 for today and on this trail. Another 3 and I've hit my most finds in a day
Another 10 and I hit my first goal for the day

This was the seventh of eight finds for today. After finding ‘At the Governor’s Pleasure’, I realised this cache was so close and so retraced my steps and extended across the road to find this cache. The hint was helpful and the cache is uniquely designed. Whilst the exterior is good, the log is a little a damp. SL. TFTC.

Log very damp. Just able to get my name on there.
Thanks for the excuse to go out exercising along Windsor Road. TFTC

Father's Day means breakfast in Rouse Hill Town Centre then off to find some GC. Found this one easily. Cool GC and looks like someone has been busy with a 3D printer TFTC!
Found today on a bike trip with geofriends. This was 1 of 32 finds. Watch out for the angry alpaca on the cycleway! TFTC
Out for a geocaching trip with the geo-sister (huntale) while down on holidays. Managed half what we wanted to do on the bikes will do the other half on another trip. Tftc
Not up to feeling knackered (in a different sense to the name’s inspiration) doing the whole trail by bike in one go, picked out just a few today that had a short stroll or parking nearby, making quick PnGs with good clues. Barely needed the gps though feel quite exposed on this busy road without a bicycle as a decoy.
Came and had a look, council has done a good job clearing here and removed the cache, placed new container.
Out with Trodectus to grab some caches for the mystery at the museum challenge. Walked from previous cache. Quickly located cache, log was in bits and pieces but managed to sign it and returned. TFTC
11th find with Coybear2000 while out getting some caches for the afternoon. We managed 16 finds, 3 DNFs and one that we couldn't attempt due to muggles. We parked in a nearby side street and walked along Windsor Rd. To save time we signed as CB2M and TD. The states of the caches were variable; some containers were missing lids, some logs were damp and one was even mush. It was a long walk with light rain at times, but we enjoyed it. TFTC.
Today I headed out to Dural for the Amateur Radio NSW (HAM Radio) bi-monthly Trash & Treasure sale at Quarry Road and, after a fun filled morning of HAM radio junk scrounging and a nice BBQ lunch with lots of friendly chit chat, it was time to get caching and collect enough caches to enable us to complete the Mystery at the Museum cache challenge with the collected jewels safely returned to the vault. I had packed the folding bike into the geomobile and planned a "ride & grab" caching raid along the Windsor Road cache trail, and maybe a few extras around the Rouse Hill area, to give us the needed minimum of 23 finds. This was the 6th of 27 finds, and 4 DNF's, for the day.
This was the next one along the trail, and another nice quick "find & sign" before heading off to the next one along the cache trail. Wow that's a massive Prickly Pear that's near GZ, it's almost tree sized! TFTC Morley196.

A few more caches on this trail beckoned today with the promise of some more smiley faces on the map. All that we looked for were found, each log was signed and each cache was replaced as found. TFTC.
WE go for a cache search. Is beautiful, the sun burns. Thanks for this cache.
Greetings from Czech Republic.

On a really hot 40-degree afternoon I set out from McGraths Hill, and walked the Windsor Road series from that point all the way to Rouse Hill Town Centre, picking up every cache in range that I could get my hands on.
It took four-ish hours, and I consumed about two liters of liquids (a combination of water and electrolytes), then proceeded to sweat it all out.
Thanks heaps for placing the caches along this trail - as sweltering as it was, t’was a nice glimpse into the relatively quiet northwest before it all falls into the inevitable suburban sprawl. The sun was amazing despite being hot and I had some proper Aztec Camera vibes going the distance as the sun made its way to the horizon.
If there was a smell meant to come from here, I’m sure my nose has stopped working at this point. Found the cache but I believe the log is maximum sog over here. Feeling knackered? You bet I am!

Geodad wanted to go bike riding. Geomum wanted to find some caches. A compromise was made on this cool December Saturday and we did both. We all enjoyed our bike ride and the Geogirls enjoyed finding the caches. Our 2nd of 14 finds for the afternoon. TFTC!

A quick find on the way to Windsor.
I did find the container just lying on the ground, so after I completed the log, I placed it back where I think it should have been.

Perhaps this place gives you a bit more energy to keep on going and avoiding the Knackered feeling.

A great day for a bike ride in western Sydney with my granddaughter. Thanks to the COs for all the caches... and to those who helped maintain them.
We left early this morning to get as many caches as we could along this trail. Ended up getting just over 80 so it was a very good day. Thanks for all the caches.
Always love caching with this group, a fun day out on this trail chasing planets. Thanks to all COs for the caches.
Out with the gang collecting caches along Windsor and Richmond roads. It was a medium long pedal but a great day. Disappointingly we had to replace a few containers along the way but no biggie either since the effort should breath some life back into the trail. TFTC.
Feeling pretty good, actually!

Out on a bicycle caching run with geobuddies along both the Richmond and Windsor Rd trails and also grabbing any other caches in-between.
Overall our day was a whooping 10hrs on the bikes and we all enjoyed every pedel of the way.
We found a total of 87 caches today so I apologise for my repeated logs,
Thanks to all the cache owners for providing us with a great day out.

I’ve been keen to start on this Power trail for some time now.
Today I set off on a two hour public transport journey to reach the southern end of the trail.
I arrived a little later than I’d hoped due to life getting in the way of caching this morning.
Great history along this trail and a nice walk.
I found the hint item in the suggested place but it was empty. I added a page from my notebook in a zip lock bag but CO might like to replace tube

Needing some exercise I headed out early today and after parking the geomobile headed off to grab these caches along the pathway. Lots of interresting hides and a few DNF's to add to a fun day. After finding each cache and signing the logs all were returned as found.
My apologies for the generic logs.

Out for a bike ride with SeeMyShell this morning.. The track took a while because we got distracted by the two pubs along the way, and probably spent more time in there than riding the bikes ...It is Christmas time after all Most caches were found in good order with 52 finds and 6 DNFs for me today.. Thanks for the caches and adventure!

Out Caching with EatSleepCacheRepeat on bikes all hides were quickly found, with the exception of a couple of DNFs

This promises to be a long day on the heat on foot - walking from Rouse Hill to Windsor - at least it gets me some calorific credit for Christmas!
It’s definitely warm now! Scared myself when a rat ran out from under the box between my legs. TNLN TFTC

Been wondering how many a solo cacher could reasonably find in daylight hours. Made an attempt today to celebrate a major life milestone. Started near the South end of the Old Windsor Road 'power trial' and cycle-cached my way North. The initial target was to make 40 but managed to complete that before noon. So continued on to Windsor. 50 finds came up just before Windsor with still a few hours left before needing to get back to the Eastern Suburbs for an engagement. So picked off a few more caches on either side on the ride back to the car. Tally for the day (in 7 hours 45 minutes): 63 finds and 7 DNFs. A big thank you to Morley196 for making this outing possible.

Our first time in this part of the country, and what a great way to see the area and learn about it. Always love a series we can do on our bikes.
I guess this cache sums up how Mrs SKI is feeling.
But a nice find in a open area

Today was supposed to be a mash of fitness and caching so I went and picked up one of those O Bikes, threw it in the back of car and headed for Rouse Hill.
TFT All the Caches I found. I only got through 8 before I stood face to face with a red bellied black snake and that was where my day ended.

OCW Coastblue Big day as we tackled the Windsor Power trail. Coastblue had already found a few so I got started early and caught up until she joined me. Overall I found 46 with 7 DNFs and a few we didn't go for as they'd been muggled. Great day out, we managed to avoid the rain and finish before sunset! Cache# 328 TFTC
Quick find after shellz85 and I dawdled from the last one. My 100th cache milestone on my one year geocaching anniversary. TFTC!
Easy find. The wind must have been lowing in the right direction today...couldn't smell a thing.
#3273. Nice seat infrastructure. Quick find of this type once you know the trick. Many thanks to **Morley196** for establishing and maintaining another bike path cache.
Out to do a bit more of the trail tonight with Pitman Clan, AWTYOW and Cheeese Pizza. TFTC.
Bloody drop bear spiders as I like to call them. They come out at night.... highway police going past , I'm a bit worried about our car on the side of the road with hazard lights on and the fact that its 2.30am and I'm walking up the footpath..
Pitman Clan jumped of the car first and ended up battling giant drop spiders and drive by cop action. Convinced they were all after her, she made a quick find and tore back to the car much to the amusement of myself, Dwight Shrute and Cheeese Pizza. TFTC!

Today was the day for the Windsor to Rouse Hill trail.
I started off by parking on Court Street in Windsor, unfolding the push-bike and get on the road. In total I found 67 caches, and 5 non founds. At the end of the day, the GPS showed a total track distance of 18.6 km.
Another good find! Thanks for the cache!
