Decided not to risk looking due to seeing needles that were in the area. Will regularly return & try again when safe
Was here quite some time ago and couldnt find it then. Tried again todaysame result. Im missing something here may have to beg CO for a hint or the PAF option next time thru.
We are on a short (three day) caching holiday in North Western Sydney, staying for two nights in a park cabin at the Ingenia Holidays Avina BIG4 Holiday Park at Vineyard. Hoping to collect some previously solved Mystery/Puzzle caches, complete some Adventure Labs, and accumulate enough cache finds for the current "Wheel of Challenges" (hard) souvenir and the "Celebrating the Solstice" souvenir. Photos will be uploaded to some logs on our return to home base.
Today (day 3) we are on our way back home, but still managed to make some finds along the way. Picked up some previously solved Mystery/Puzzle caches and a few Traditionals, but also suffered several DNFs, one of which was a second time around DNF. This was the 2nd of 6 finds for the day (day 3), and 36th find of the holiday.
After suffering a DNF (second for the day) at "Train Spotter - Mulgrave Station" we next arrived at this one, and thankfully it was a nice quick find on arrival at GZ. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found, but we suspect that it is not how it should be. The blue container was in a hole, and there was some natural type camo (fake) with a piece of wire attached to it laying on the ground a metre or so away, which we placed on top of the cache container. Needs a CO cache check. TFTC Blundo Busters.

Found. Looked for this one 3 years ago when last in the area. Today success within 1 minute.

Quick find considering this is a Blundo cache! Trying to get to 1100, almost there! TFTC
As I drove from my short walk in South Windsor I could see where I was heading. Parked the geomobile just beyond the bus zone and wandered over. First thing was to take note of the Water Towers question for the final. Now where is the other information?
After I'd gathered that info I looked for the cache.
Very quick find, unlike a usual BB hide which usually trick me up. The hint said "N yvggyr ovg bs pnzb" and there wasn't any so I added some.
Have looked for that info, hmm, can't find it.

My first find for today. Walked back and forth and I swear I checked where I found the cache twice before I realised it was there. TFTC
There's so much water here. Fortunately most of it tanks today. It turned out I'd guessed the right type of spot but took a while to find it. Thanks Blundo Busters.
Spent a while looking for this. Was just about to give up and spotted a hint of blue looking at me. TFTC
Found at 1:26 PM GAFF3.
Now there was a tricky little hide! I ended up finding it just a few metres from the very first spot that I looked on arrival, but there was a muggle from NRMA Roadside Assist that was on the phone and looking up at me from time to time, so it made hard to really get into the search
Eventually he got into his vehicle, so I went for it
Thanks Blundo Busters.

Well nice to finally get this one. After seeing the recent activity I decided to give this one last try. The sky gods were kind today, and decided I had suffered enough. A little poking around had the cache in my hand. TFTC.
Decided to return today to look again with some info from a paf. Finally able to log a find on a tricky hide. Signed log and returned as found. TFTC
We were driving through Windsor and thought that we would attempt this cache. We weren't confident. Blundo Busters' great caches have caused us grief in the past. We noticed the many DNFs in recent weeks. We arrived at GZ and to our surprise found the cache in the first place that we looked. (Obviously more ass than class) It did help that there was a bit of blue on display as the camo is coming loose. Very accurate coords. TFTC Blundo Busters
This one is awesome. We looked two times here. Spent about 15 minutes each time. We forgot to bring a pen so couldn’t write on log.
I am giving up on this one. No idea at all. Also found drug related items close to what was my gz near the trees towards the recessed gate and bus stop. Looked further down the fence towards the other gate. More drug stuff and no cache. Maybe after another find I might be back.
Deployed new container, in a slightly different style.
BTW the lady across the road does not know the exact whereabouts of the cache.

Not in place it should be spend 4 hours and even a lady confirmed we were in right location but it was not there

Like most others we were unable to find this one.
Pretty sure it has been muggled!
Pretty sure it has been muggled!
this one is frustrating the heck out of me..... no idea why...…… forgotten how many times I have been here so far.
Back for a second look and still no luck... any other hints or intel would be appreciated...
even with a hint from the cache owner I cannot find this cache, been here a few times now.... missing something obvious
Very sneaky little hide, with some Intel from the CO we finally made the hide. Tftc
Lots of leaves etc around from recent storms so not sure if it has fallen from where it’s meant to be. DNF
Find # 4146
Found with sesblocker.
YAY!!! Great coordinates made for an easy find. We spotted a telltale sign first, then the retrieval. We are staying in Richmond for a couple of days and decided to collect a few smilies.

My second time looking for this with no luck. Even had WaywardWomans eyes looking but nothing. Headed to GIFF event. Was given another clue by Tardis so headed back at 9pm for another look with a torch. Stiff couldn't find anything. Could CO please check?
No luck for us today either. Will return with MrS. Kids were very interested in a discarded bike chain on the other side of the fence ...i hope i was right to ignore them!
Had a nearby neighbour yelling out where this one was apparently located but two sets of eyes and no such luck
Been a while since I have done a water tower cache and grabbed this one on the way to work this morning. Tftc quickish fund.
I was nearby (sort of) at lunchtime, so popped over for a quick check. Happy to report cache is still in it's SECOND deployed spot. Good to go.

After attending a CITO and Meet & Greet events at Ebenezer, dropped in here with Tardis0061 to see if I could avenge my previous DNF. Turns out Tardis had already found this one but two pairs of eyes are better than one pair and after several minutes of searching, we finally spotted what we were expecting. Nice to turn this into a smiley.

If Alan the neighbour across the road approaches and tells you where it is, tell him it's moved about 1 metre.
After finding some puzzle caches around Sackville, ventured south to continue my quest for the Water Towers series. Like yesterday, there were workers around the area so I had to pick my time to look. Unfortunately left empty handed. I wasn't encouraged by the recent DNFs. Hope it hasn't gone walkabout.

Local resident showed us where it normally is, but wasn't there. Think it must have been taken
Was working nearby and thought this would be quick. Workers in the compound stifled my looking but no luck today.
Thanks for the great hide yes cache is there and in good condition very well hidden
A new container has been created, but I Will be out of the area until Dec 12, when I'll redeploy it.
We were looking in the right place as confirmed by a resident across the road, but the cache container is missing.
I was able to also find this cache during my cacher tour through Windsor today.
Thank you

Maintenance performed whilst out on a cache maintenance / Pokemon Go trip with the geo-family. Great to be able to combine the two.
We were looking in the right place when a friendly neighbour called out to us. She came over and confirmed it is missing.
Sadly it looks like it's been muggled. Found the cache hiding spot but cache has been removed.
Continuing my Water Towers blitz today I headed down the GWH. The last water towers cache. My run this morning had been good. Unfortunately this one evaded me. Even after a fellow passing by asked if I was a geocacher and told me exactly where he'd found it we couldn't find the cache.
