Hi Blundo Busters,

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time please be sure to **post a note** (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date, if you do not then you cache may be archived without further note from a reviewer. Caches archived due to lack of maintenance are no longer unarchived and you will need to submit a replacement as a new cache.

Out caching with the geo-dog in the Schofield and Quaker Hill area.

This is truly a different area of Sydney. Walking along the fence line, the smell of Indian curries was blown from the food stores on the other side of the station!
Once near GZ it was down to business. The fingers did some probing and after 10 minutes I felt something familiar. It was the well hidden cache!

Name was added and replaced as found. Simple but clever hide! TFTC.

DNF

It was getting dark, but we looked all around the given coordinates and checked the clue. Nothing

Thanks

Being familiar with some blundo hide now ️ I had a fair idea where it could be, bam I found you little sneeze hide
 
12-Oct-20
Thought we found it, as the object looked like it fit in a train area, but nothing was in it, so possible DNF, or mugglefied.
 
10-Jul-20
Must be the day for vindicated nemesis hides. Third bonus smiley on a quick cache run to get only one planned find.
 
31-Dec-19
TFTCM, with all the DNFs and a recent "smileys", I tried my luck with this one. Under this sweltering heat, a good reward was given. A sneaky but good hide.

DNF for me again. One day I will come back here!

30-Dec-19
Headed out west to get my numbers up and close in on an average of 4 finds per day for 2019.

Despite the DNF we saw logged today, we had a go and amazingly found it in the second place checked. Go figure? TFTC

Thanks for the cache

A lovely sunny winter's morning so I came by train to Quakers Hill for today's caching hit. I was surprised at how many people got out of the train here, the entire carriage I was in emptied out. I hoped they weren't all walking in the same direction as me but no one did.

After a very short walk I'd reached GZ. Of course there was one muggle left on the platform and he was sitting directly in line with GZ. I fiddled around in my bag for a couple of minutes keeping my eye on him and decided he was well engrosed in something on his lap top so I had a chance. I hoped the co-ordinates were good as that would make my search quicker.

Well the co-ords were spot on and the cache was in the first place I checked. I walked off a bit to sign the log then walked back and replaced the cache as I went.

Took a long time to find, we saw a train (because it was so loud I hurt my ears) TFTC.
 
04-Jul-18
We searched for a while (yes even *there* - didn't we??) and finally MrS made the find.

From James is watching you, I move onto another BB Train Spotter. Middle of the day so not too many on the station. Co-ords pretty good for BB so it's a quick find. TFTCBB.
 
18-Apr-18
Had to wait a bit for a train to take away the watching muggles.
Then found relatively easy.
Thanks
 
18-Mar-18
We’re grabbing some caches before the heat of the day. This one we had in our hands quite quickly. TFTC
 
13-Mar-18
Spent 10 mins searching but must be well hidden. Plus muggles on platform watching

A childless night, so geohubby and I decided to go hunting.

It was obvious once we found it.

TFTC

I have finally avenged this DNF. It is so frustrating to put your hand on the cache after two previous failed attempts and realise how easy it really was.

TFTC
 
12-Feb-18
Nice
 
02-Feb-18
This one seems to elude me. I have looked twice, and have not come up trumps either time. Unless I need to turn over every rock, I am stumped as to where this one can be.

Quick find before I had to head off to the airport for a week away, things you do for a souvenir

One of our quickest train spotters. Thanks for this series

It was getting toward sunset and I was growing weary. Stooping is hard and painful so the find was not made.

I've been working in the area and finished my job, I'm headed to the city and clearing a few caches in the area and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to find another Blundo Buster's Train Spotter series caches.
I've just come from Cachers Parkway cache. I was a little concerned when I saw a big group of council workers working nearby, but all was good as GZ was further along the tracks to them.
Oh BB at which of these do I need to be,
Ah ha I see. Lol that unintentionally rhymes, anyways..... I had to wait for the train sitting at the station to leave before I could proceed. I soon had the cache in hand and with signing duties done I replace the cache as it was.
T4TC BB??

Once the train had taken the muggles away, it was a much easier search. TFTC.
 
27-Oct-16
Geogangstas and me searched around there for about 10 mins running our fingers everywhere and again AWTYON turned up and saved the day and then it was finally in our hands
TFTH

5 found today
1 DNF today
 
27-Oct-16
Again SlurpeeClan and I seemed to be bumbling along looking for this and attracting too much attention from the people waiting for trains. AWTYOW turned up and we switched to a satellite pic and that made the difference - just in time to search AFTER the people had all been taken away by a train! I quickly felt something this time, even though it seemed I'd searched there many times already. TFTC.
 
I dropped off geo-gangstas and Slurpee Clan to find this while I looked for parking and checked out the question for the multi at the end. The 30 min parking was all their was so I headed up to help the others as they'd had no luck and were drawing the stares of the people on the platform. A train came and removed the spectators, and I checked the satellite image which is more accurate than the gps signal here. It led us straight to the goods. TFTC!

Found with Coybear2000. We'd had a busy day with family and it was after dark. We had a DNF nearby so we decided to try this one. Parked the car nearby and it was in the second place we looked. The log is full, so we left our marks in an empty spot - it could well have been the faded remains of someone else's. TFTC
 
27-Mar-16
Out with Trodectus, #2 for the night and hoping this will not be a DNF like the last one. Parked close to GZ and soon had CIH. Found spot on a very full log and signed as Trod & COyb. TFTC
 
31-Dec-15
Too Many People, as Mr. McCartney once sang. New Years Eve-ers on the station...just too buy to look anything but suspicious.
 
30-Dec-15
3rd DNF in a row on our first attempt. Maybe Geocaching is not for us. Sad
 
30-Dec-15
First find for the day rbotha don't give up

Fourth day straight caching enjoy these days off. Hope to do a few of this series. Easier than I thought. TFTC.

#2407 (5 of 8 today)

Decided to head out Quaker's Hill / Schofields way for a few caches today - mop up some of the caches I'd not previously attempted.
Managed to grab eight (and DNF a few along the rail line) as well as get caught at one cache by the CO.
And this time as I was heading home I remembered to grab the nearby puzzle cache I'd solved.
[center]END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION[/center]
Two DNFs in a row, and now I'm at a cache whose recent logs are also DNFs.

And of course I found it immediately in the first place I checked - fortunate it's a Train Spotter hide I've seen before.
Made the grab then moved well away from the full platform. Completed signing duties and back for the replace after the next train had cleared the area.

Needed distraction to replace, though as plenty of passing muggles off said train.

Found with lozza, on dusk with the help of a torch. TAF to confirm my suspicions on container type, as there were plenty of muggles about. Minutes later had CIH. Thanks for another smiley, BB. Smile

Well hidden, looked several times in the right spot without finding. One last look before declaring defeat & cih, thankfully Smile. Tftc xo

30/5/15. 12:51 PM. Cache #2545. Streak day #342.
Third of 5 finds for the afternoon; after a DNF at "Close Encounters at The Ponds...Again", I wanted only easier finds for the rest of the day. Good co-ords and a bit of luck on my side got me a find in the first place I looked. Signed, replaced and headed off to "Geo Fit!!!". TFTC.

Decided to grab a few caches this morning, as rain was expected for the afternoon.
Had to wait until a train left with impatient muggles, then surprised ourselves with a quick find.
Many thanks for placing this cache, Blundo Busters, for us and others to find.
