Blundo busters,
Grabbed this one as we were in Richmond.

   CUT AND PASTE SECTION
Streak day 62
Below is a blurb about us.
We are trying to get a badge from Project-GC for writing found log files of 100 words or more. Once we get this badge we will stop writing this. We are also trying to
get badges for adding photos to our found logs.
We Started caching in December 2019 and by January 2020 we were hooked. As we are on the road full time (living in a caravan), caching fits in well with this lifestyle.
It is taking us to places that we would normally not have gone.
When we move to a new place we also look at what caches are in the area and how many days we will need to be there to get the caches we want.

I was out today on a caching run around the area visiting Nth Richmond Glossodia,Freemans Reach and up to Kurrajong Heights.
I had an excellent day caching out here finding almost all that I searched for,
Today was extremely warm and dry with a thick smoke haze blanketing throughout however this didnt dampen the day in the slightest,
It was a huge day with many finds so a big thank you to all the COs for placing their enjoyable hides,I do apologies for my generic logs.
Thanks for the cache

Out caching with some fellow caches, being Frazeydaze, Oldmorty Quick park and grab. Thanks for the cache
 
25-Apr-18
Out from the eastern suburbs for a days caching with frazeydaze and marj01; the chosen area being out west and the mountains. We visited a total of forty seven caches which resulted in forty six finds with one dnf. With the exception of a handful of mountain caches the rest were park and grabs, although some required a bit of searching. It was a very enjoyable and fun filled day and thanks goes to marj01 for the organising. TFTC Blundo Busters.

I'm working in the area for a few weeks and looking forward to collecting lots of caches in this region.
I collected a few of Blundo Busters Train Spoters caches yesterday, and while getting my lunch in North Richmond I noticed two caches not far away. I was certainly eager to find this cache and check another of the Water Tower serried caches off the list.
This was a relatively early find, I was prepared for something a little more tricky being a BB cache.

Find:327
1st of 2 finds today.
Cache/Log: Both in good condition.

After a successful day of hunting down puzzle caches around Sackville, I made my way a bit further west to collect another one in this series. Parked and had the place to myself. Wasn't expecting to find it where I did but soon had my name in the log and homeward bound.

Used the excuse of attending an annual craft show at Panthers to cross off two more in the Water Tower series that are out this way and not on my usual routes to anywhere. Only one more to go that was MIA last time I tried (though collected the clue to know the final is back near my cousin’s for next time I visit her) so my heart almost sank when the search here (the most out of the way Tower) was not initially producing a result and left me fearing I’d wasted time and miles. Expanded search beyond the arrow and eventually spotted some familiar camo more buried than it should be. Phew…!

First water tower for us. Another series to find. TFTC.

Pushing to make 1000 finds by next Saturday I travelled from Greystanes today to hope bag a good number. Thank to all the CO for hiding these for me to find. This was one of the first things I saw when I got out of the car but stupidly not the first thing I checked. I should have learnt by know. Tftc

6/12/15. 2:32 PM. Cache #3276. Streak day #532.
1st of 2 finds (+3 DNFs) - North Richmond, Richmond & McGraths Hill

I was already out this way at the in-laws' place at McGraths Hill, so having seen that this was now able to be found again, I was keen for a return visit. It still took me a few minutes, as it's quite well hidden and camouflaged. Glad to get this, I only have #09 Penrith to find before I get the Water Towers final. But that will be another day. My next target today is "Murky Waters". TFTC.

19/11/15. 2:13 PM.

It was supposed to be so easy today - go out and find "The Old Suckerishere" in Rouse Hill, just inside my home 20km circle, and go home. No joy, a DNF there, and then another DNF near that at "My 300th Hide". So after lunch, I decided to head out to this one, at least I can find one of my 2 remaining water towers to get the final soon, right?

Wrong. Despite so many recent photos showing a small sistema, and so few places one of those could fit, no sign of it. Even when I phoned a friend, I knew exactly where it should be and under what camo. I found the camo, too, but no cache.

Even though I've already solved the final's location, it's still a requirement that I find this one and Penrith first. So please consider either waiving that requirement or making a quick replacement here. Thanks.

Off to save my streak at "NorVo!".

At the moment I'm on a work and travel backpacking trip through the world. Most of the first two years I'll spend in Australia and I'm trying to solve my 365 days of caching challenge during this trip. The chance of having a moving home zone should be taken, as it will make the challenge so much easier.

This one was a quick and easy find.

TFTC and greetings from Germany

#276 First on a big day of caching around Hazelbrook. That was way too easy to find, could see it as I walked up to it. The cache was closed but the zip lock bag & the logs were scattered around the cache. Picked everything up and signed the log which was slightly damp and rehid about 3 metres away in a better spot. It may not have been out for long for how the log looked guess someone found it recently.

#1418 (4 of 7 today)

Decided to head north west to pick up a few specific caches. Then thought "Why not" and went for a cache that may or may not be there...
[center]* * * END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION * * *[/center]
After DNFing the other nearby Water Tower, this one (my other main target up this way) was a park and grab.
As I walked to GZ I spotted a suspicious spot and it held the cache.
That was easy.

Completed signing duties, replaced and grabbed the clue. Now all I need is to find #10 and (the apparently missing) #12 and I'll be able to go for the final.
