I had looked a cache for a while. Found it. Thank you

Replaced and moved. Good to go.
 
05-May-24
I'll be checking this once the inclement weather passes.
 
01-May-24
Could the CO please check on the cache here to see if it is still in play.
 
30-Apr-24
Had no luck with this one after searching with goingplaces2. It hasn't been found in just over a year, so reckon it could need a check by the CO.
 
30-Apr-24
Out for a few caches today with ilook4geo. Very dull day, but no rain to hinder our search. Didn't manage to find this cache after a fairly long search. Just adding to the list of DNFs.
 
28-Apr-24
Was on my way home and thought I would give this one a go. Didnt find it today . But it was getting dark and the mozzie were bad and too many spider webs so I left. Ill try another day.
 
10-Apr-24
Needed a simple find after work. To keep my streak unbroken now that daylight saving time has ended last weekend. Spent a while before sending CO tronador a message that Im another DNF. Very infrequently when I do that and come back for another seek, I would find it with a facepalm. Not this time, simply unfound. Ah well, thanks
 
16-Jan-24
Not sure if been take. Or moved
 
13-Aug-23

Finally ticking off duck river. Previous logs made it a nice find tonight thank you
 
06-Aug-22
Off to the footy at Olympic Park today and came a little earlier to jog the Duck River AL and pick up a few physicals. This my first physical was a fun find, reasonably quickly spotted, clever camo was helpful. All in good condition here. Very quiet on the trail for a sunny Saturday. Thanks for placing this cache tronador #1485

This was part of a nice walk along Duck creek.

#This cache#
With this dense tall vegetation, I have no idea how this is T1.5 ... And after seeing the snake warning earlier, it's not a place I wanna be going into... Maybe another time. Skip for now!
Thank you tronador!

#This day#
Well, since he end of the moth is near ans my pre-pay SIM is about to expire, I decided it's now time to get the AL in Auburn, while I still have mobile data. For regular geocaches you can always play offline, but these AL ones do not work without internet. So, so annoying!

#This trip#
Back in Sydney this year for work. Not many days off, not much time for geocaching, but since some days are rainy and we are not at work, I can still go around and get some finds. Luckily this year o also have my bike with me, so that makes it easier to get around.

Came here after the CITO with Duyans a quick find when at the correct level. Takes a bit level with a dodgy knee

Closely inspected the flora and found a new species, complete with empty log. Thanks tronador.
 
06-Jan-22
Seems that the cache is indeed missing. I've replaced it. It's in the same area but a different hide. Nature is forever changing the location. Good to go.

26-May-21
After completing the CO's woodlands caches it was time to relocate the car an tackle her three little duck caches. Again there were no muggles around, which surprised me on this sunny day. Must be a work day. With accurate coords, which is a trademark of this CO, I was soon bending over to pick up this very familiar container. I replaced the log here as the existing one is now only good for paper mache. TFTC tronador. Now off to the second little ducky.

Doesn’t exist

TTTC. Log needs replacing.

tronador I found your cache One Little Duck on 3/4/21, 4:10 pm. This is my find 3063 and find # 5 today. A quick and easy find once I found the right tree. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN

We took the walking path which began back near the station yet somehow ended up on the wrong side of the creek. Once we backtracked on got on the right path it was a quick find. TFTC
 
29-Sep-20
Struggled with nav around here kept directing me diff location, worried about snakes so left
 
23-Jul-20
Nope
 
08-Jun-20
The GPS struggled here. I was covered in spider webs and paranoid with the snake signs! We'll be back to find it another time.
 
03-May-20
TFTC,
After finishing our selected cache today, we continued to get some exercise in and locate a few caches before heading to a friends place for a social visit, lunch and a chat. Great to be out.
I walked across country and found the cache before Nana nel got here. We stamped and replaced as found.
 
03-May-20
By time I got to GZ Wazza9 had located the container, stamped log and replaced, thanks to Tronador.
 
26-Apr-20
Stopped by for a maintenance visit. Found the cache in a different location from where I put it. Relocated to its original spot. All good to go.
 
30-Mar-20
I have found it
 
29-Feb-20
It was fun
 
16-Feb-20
Almost give up on this due to the amount of mozzies around. Luckily Anominous Sign spotted it before we were eaten alive. TFTC.
 
16-Feb-20
Spent some time amongst the mosquito ridden area (the recent rains must have really been good for them!). We were about to give up when I noticed something in a spot I hadn't quite gotten to. Aha! Log was signed and cache returned. Thanks!
 
15-Feb-20
Mrs Gaztek had to work on this Saturday so we needed to even that out with post-work caching! Unlike the two ducks, this one caught our eye. So, quack!! Thanks for bringing us here. Did a bit of CITO around here too. SL TFTC Cheers..... Gaztek

Out again searching for Mystery at the Museum clues.
Good find
Thanks
 
11-May-19
May-tenance month. Still there, although some of the camo was missing. I removed the old cache and replaced with a new one, different container but same GZ, until I fix the old cache with new camo. Good to go.
 
04-May-19
tronador I didn’t find your cache One Little Duck on 4/5/19, 2:22 pm. Checked all around GZ but came up empty.
 
14-Feb-19
Took a bit but finally located
 
13-Feb-19
That was a tricky one. Cleared one side but not the other. Log a bit soggy
 
13-Feb-19
Took a bit longer then should have log a bit soggy

TFTC! I had a couple of work days out here in Auburn so I decided to go get a few geocaches around the area in my lunch break. Unfortunately for me, it took me way longer than I expected so I could only find one today. I will be back tomorrow to try and find some more! The log was damp and I had no replacement unfortunately!
Thanks for hiding and showing us the place! Really lovely walk by the river.
 
07-Nov-18
Thanks for the great hide
 
02-Nov-18
Quick find on my lunch break. TFTC!
 
29-Sep-18
Yay! My first one finally
 
13-Sep-18
After parking on Stanhope St and walking over I got to the GZ and, at the base of a tree i saw one of those bags that people pick up dog poo and tie up.
“Oh wow” i thought “that would be the perfect camo for a cache.”
Picking it up and squeezing the cold mush inside i soon realised that no it wasn’t the solution. Some inconsiderate sod had just chucked their dogs crap into the bushes.
Anyway my second attempt went a bit better. The log is a bit damp but still writable.
Thanks.

Our 1st cache found! Lots of fun

We found it:) I really enjoyed!!!

Came to do some maintenance. All I found was the cable tie. Cache is gone. It'll be replaced.
 
20-Mar-18
Located at 10:19am. Last find today and saw it on approach. Log is sodden and mouldy and the cable tie has snapped. I do have replacement cable ties but they’re with my work clothes, sorry Спасибо! תודה! L’chaim! TFTC!

Almost gave up! My GPS wasn't accurate and was looking several meters away for ages.

Easy find! Signed the log this time TFTC tronador
 
15-Jan-18

Strangely there were a few muggles nearby including one who appeared to be taking lots of selfies in the middle of the oval. Getting to GZ is a bit rough and the level looks to be a problem but with a bit of looking around, there it is.

Calendar day 241

Thanks tronador

A drive to Auburn to grab a few caches in this parkland. With Zelda the geodog along for the ride, she sniffed out the location straight away once at GZ.

This one had potential to take me forever. But my previous PAF gave me a heads up and I soon spotted the hide. Fourth and final find so we made the return journey back to the car. Lovely park to walk the dog. Very quiet midweek. And what's with the chickens wandering around back near the playground? Smile TFTC
 
03-Jan-18
Great hide. Almost gave up.

Found it quickly. Great hide! TFTC

I've found the wayward cache and it's now back in a position it should be. Thanks to J+J.au for leaving it in a spot Id find. I was a little worried I wouldn't be able to find my own cache. I've made repairs and it should no longer wander off.

Watch out mozzies about. Tftc

Quick find by my friend Horizon (Ufuk) then eaten by mozzie. Tftc

Passed a lot of places I remember from my youth along here, some the same, some changed, but mostly nice to see all the folks out enjoying the path. The geodog and I arrived at GZ and "ducked" behind some cover to not draw the attention of another batch of soccer players. This one proved to be the easiest of the three, well illuminated in the setting afternoon sun. Thanks tronador.

From Two Little Ducks we continued our walk on a sunny winter Saturday up to this cache. The GPSr did not settle very well under the trees, so we searched around for a while. After having read previous logs we looked for something which might be hanging around in the trees, but when we finally found the cache it was lying on the ground. We placed it where it might be more in line with its original location, but maybe the cache owner should have a look and place it more permanently where it belongs.
 
07-Jul-17
Quick find for this one.
TFTC
 
06-Jul-17
Had to wait for a few muggles walking along the path before ducking into the bush here. Initially went into the wrong section. Picked the right one on the second go. My GPS was pointing me down towards the creek but I couldn't see a way down. As I turned around I spotted the cache. It's surprising sparse behind the initial bunch of weeds. It looks as though it would be dense bush from the park. Signed and replaced. TFTC!

Cool but clear weekend just screamed for a little cyclo-caching so visited the Auburn and Birrong area today.
- - -
This was the 7th of 14 finds for the day - and part of a Tronador-fest it seems.
A huge flock of rainbow lorikeets filtered through the trees as I was signing the log. Brilliant!
