I have been unwell/injured and haven't been able to return cache. It is in car ready to go back has been for a while!
This is in the back of the car to add back in place, just haven't had time to add back
31/10/15. 12:34 PM.
I parked on the GW Highway at the southern end of the path, with the intention of getting "All Hallows Eve" - it is Hallowe'en after all! As I walked up, I checked out this one, on the off chance that the CO had replaced it but hadn't logged so yet. Wishful thinking on my part. Shame that it hasn't been replaced in time for Hallowe'en. Oh well, on to "All Hallows Eve" anyway.

After heading through the dark and the fog to find GZ I found some material with a tiny skull which gave me the spook's pretty fast until I realised this is possibly part of the original cache.. I can see it would be awesome when set up.. still a great place for a hide, just needs a replacement log.. container was/is empty
Have located GZ and an empty cache container. Cache surrounds have been pulled out of location. I've placed container back in the obvious place it's come from. But my spare logs are 500m away in the truck and it's dark and foggy and I'm spooked!.
dolphia and i parked and really far from cache - we walked 1.2km and found it. we realised we should park at Great Western Highway near motorway overhead. only few hundred metre anyway it's awesome cache.
thanks for excellent cache.
thanks for excellent cache.
Sevabo and I running around and around again to find spot to park car, walk closer but we end up walk, returned 3km and we found we could have park 200m away! Bloody finally found it, thank god it was in winter time not in Summer and good exercise but poor Sevabo who is much older than me but she is amazing determined to keep going! Brilliant Cache hidden! TFTC
A morning of bike riding and caching again. This was number 4 of 5. This time I took the train to Rooty Hill and went from there.
On my way from the highway to the cache I was attacked twice by a magpie. That was scary as. He hit my helmet and left a mark on it. I paddled as hard as I could to get out of there. Time for spikes on my helmet I think.
On to the cache. How cool is this? Wow very impressive. Didn't expect this and loved it Favorite point worthy.

#2063 (8 of 10 today)
Well, I had a few options to grab my souvenir today, and since a few of them were in the same direction, my target area for today was chosen.
Found my first target (HUZZAH!) and then continued on getting a few more puzzle caches and plenty more besides. Even with a few DNFs I found 10 today.
[center]END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION[/center]
Was hoping to grab Hollingsworth but there were three muggle cars (with attendant muggles near GZ, so came here.
Quick find. Hmmm, I'm not the first person here today. Very cute GZ. Amazed it's lasted.
Completed signing duties and replaced.
Noticed the cars had gone after making the find, so my original target was GO again.

What a great find. Deserves a favourite from us. Aussie loved it. After a day of sport at school it was nice for him to download by finding a cache. We could see smoke nearby and after counting 6 fire engines, 2 ambulances and a helicopter we thought we would leave before we got caught up in traffic. Log was full so left a piece of paper. Tftc SL
Wow this was not what I expected so the trick was on me and the treat was that it is still in tact. I love these types of caches so a favourite point to you. Cache is in good condition but the log could do with some tlc.
Waiting for a while for this to be released again. Found today only the log is full. As I was on the bike wasn't carrying any spare logs. Tftf

As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been a number of months since the last owner note. I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it. Should you replace the cache after 30 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.
#329.... cache is definitely there I had found this a few months back but didn't have a pen on me so I stopped by it again today whilst on a pushie ride and signed the log.
Kick out my home!!!! I drove to Sydney and stay my brother's house for two nights and My friend whitepaws9 stay with us... i drove pass to motorway to turn left road and stop to find few caches..

Found quickly on a walk in the area today. Had a laugh after i found the trick and the treat TFTC
I meant to go looking for these at Halloween, glad I didn't now, it would have been very spooky!!
Got the old bike out & headed out to Western Sydney for the day.
Great little cache, fun camo. TFTC.

It was raining when I left the mountainsso I didn't bring my bike. This would have been perfect for a ride and is no rain. TFTC.
They have surfaced the path and now great for riding your bikes etc.....
Very nicely done on the cache
Thanks for the cache Gibbo......

I finally remembered to stop at the right place to find this track. After a short cool walk I found myself at the scariest cache I've seen. Took a few daring attempts to find the cache amongst the other surprises at gz.
Took tb.
Took tb.
We were doing a ride on the Parklands track on this sunny Easter Monday. Parked the bikes and soon had this one located. Lot of effort put into this - very well done. Left the Le Strobile TB.

Streak Day #275 Attended a wedding in the morning and we had a few hours to kill before heading to the reception, so casper73 and i went for some lunch and then came to do a cache, enjoyed the walk to walk off the lunch and found a fantastic hide, very creative and adding it as a fav. TFTC Gibbo455
This is the best cache i have come across fav point forsure. Tftc. Awesome at night =) with Jasmine.
Back out this way gain and we had time for just one before our appointment. We parked near the Great Western Highway and made our way about 500m up the track. We followed the GPSr until to veered off the track and a quick look around saw a likely spot and then we saw the well decorated arrangement. We completed the signing duties, discovered the trackable and dropped off another trackable and then re hid. TFTC
Has to be one of my favourites. Not sure how all that works, but will award a point thingy if I can. Love the effort. Found this one in the fading light... very spooky

Love it. [You really don't need to venture to far off the beaten track.] made appropriate scratchings with a key. Cannot believe I left the house without a pen.
A nice day for a walk in the park. Cache was full of ants. We emptied most & put everything I a baggy. The lid still has ants. Left a TB. Took nothing. TFTC. Loved the work put into it. 3 x TB's in total
Only half of the cache is in place, the fun part (trick) has been removed for battery replacement. I had batteries with me but not a screw driver.
Actual cache (treat) is still at location and is right for finding, fun part will be back soon!

Very creative cache, well done. Appropriate to find it this month. The walk was hard today as it was so hot and we weren't prepared for caching, I certainly didn't have my walking shoes on. Kaitlyn2k and I both dropped TBs here today. TFTC
Ha ha love it. The spider webs just made it awesome. Another favourite. Tftc tnln
Possibly one of the best themed caches I've come across. Who would know that a cache was here?? Great effort. Startled the geowife, even in the middle of the day. TFTC.
At Blacktown International Sports park to see Sydney UNi win the Women's AFL Grand Final. Go the Bombers! Great spot for a geocache and very cleverly eerie! Even though we could see everything we still were reluctant to put our hands in here. No telling when a skeleton hand might reach out and grab you, A favourite from us! DL TFTC Cheers... Gaztek

Had half a day and drove out to do a few more out here in my 20kms radius. Parked and walked along the nice trail only to see a council worker spraying weeds close to GZ. I approached him and had a chat. He asked what I was doing there and I obliged with the usually spiel. He knew of Geocaching and I showed him the hide. Hahaha, nice one G455. I SL, TNLN and replaced it again. I may have another convert, who knows. Said goodbye and walked up to the next cache. TFTC.

Out on a Sunday ride on my bike finding some geocaches around the Blacktown area before I start prac teaching for the next few weeks at mountain view Adventist college.
Upon arrival, didn't really know what to expect, but when I found the cache location, I loved it. And it still works!!! Hahaha. Thanks for a very inavitive cache favorite point here

Simply loved this one. Gave me a right start when replacing the cache. Had these caches recommended to me for a while. Most recently at the Nepean River event by the CO. So it was that I had planned eventually to puch the geodad out the door to go looking. Until he suggested them first .

Halloween is my birthday, so thanks for celebrating it with this fantastic cache, a fav point from me. On the way back from your other Halloween cache I just had to activate it again Thanks Gibbo455.
Great fun and very creative, it gave me a bit of a start . The perfect hide too. SL, took TB, thanks Gibbo455.
I was on the way back from an M7 cycle ride, and thought I'd clear the 3 on this track out. Nice day for it.
Had just done B.O.P 4 and All Hallows Eve and headed here on the bike. Looked around briefly and had a pleasant daylight surprise. I had read the previous logs so was unsure of what to expect. Great job Gibbo on this themed hide!
Picked up the Geocoin Buddy.
Fave point from the Blundo Busters.

A great cache and a bit of a shock in daylight, nighttime would be a doozy. I'll give this one a fav point.
Left a cat TB as it seemed to be the right place.

You say you have parking co – ordinate’s – well I parked in the park parking area & did the 1.1km walk to cache, not complaining needed the walk after 4 12 hour nights – so at 6.30 in the morning it’s a very quiet park at this time of the morning. Your cache has 5 favourites at this point of time, a very deserving 5 they are, it could be the 6th but you just fell a grain of sand short, I wonder how long this cache will last in the big smoke as top caches get trashed in time – I hope it lasts the distance & more people can see your TOP handy work – left TB - TFTC / TFTH / SL
this was even better, great hide, chuckled to my self as i signed log well done, will have some real webs soon i think. TFTC
Found it on a sunny Sunday. This was the third for us along the track. Another fun themed cache, we had a laugh and again thought how good this would be at night. TFTC
LOL, I couldn't stop giggling about this Cache, I see a lot of effort has gone into this spooky spot, not that I'm into the Americanism of Halloween, but it was certainly fun to do this cache. A Favourite point from the macca's
I will bring my Geo kids back out here one night for a real scare.
Cheerssss ooooohhhhhaaaaaa

#1506- Nothing like caching in the rain! I hadn't noticed that it was supposed to be raining today, so to wake up and find that it was, when we had these two haloween caches in mind, was a bit of a downer. But nevertheless we set off with a mission. Despite the light rain we parked on the side of the main road and made our way along the track. Once we found the cache I thought it was a bit of a pity we didn't get here on Wednesday night- (despite not being a fan of halloween). But well set up and great camo! The kids really enjoyed this one- their favourite and, I must say, mine too, of the day. Thanks Gibbo455.
We've got this thing we check on, stats and all that, and a calendar with blank days, and the WaywardWoman said that we had to fill them up with cache finds, and it was Halloween, or only a few days after, and there were these two caches, you see. And I asked, what's that got to do with us? Because there's a cellar under our house with thirty kids in it, all wearing witch hats and white sheets who I won't allow out until they learn to play the didgeridoo and swear off the Great Satan.
"What are you talking about?" the WaywardWoman asked, rolling her eyes and pushing the GPS at me.
"Halloween," I said, perplexed. "It's just an American holiday foisted upon us by over-zealous marketing. We never had it when I was a kid."
"This is not going to be a Monty Python thing?" she asked. "Like, 'what have the Americans ever done for us'?"
"Well, what have they done?" I challenged her.
"There's GPS technology ..."
"Okay," I admitted. "But apart from that, what have the Americans ever done for us?!"
"Well, there's television and all those films you like, not to mention American literature. There's fast food. Susan Sontag is American and so is Big Bird."
"Yes ...?"
"And geocaching came from America. Do you want to give that up, too?"
I scowled. I growled. I was forced into the car and made to find the cache. And there, just in front of the cache was Sam-I-Am, offering me green eggs and ham.
"I'm not eating that!" I said.

Congratulations Martin Cousins on the FTF this morning.
Cache was on hold to be released not long after kids finished school but GC.com was offline longer than expected.
Sorry about the shock but very glad you had a laugh!
