This cache has been archived. It has to go to make the current series of Water Towers more efficient to maintain.

Gone. Will replace when health guidelines allow.

Looks to be stolen

Unable to find

Did not find

Just can't seem to find

Hh

I think this one must be gone. ️

It seems this cache is gone, looks like the neighbour has been landscaping, perhaps they didn't like the look of it? Oh well, at least I have another answer for the water tower puzzle...

This one does not appear to be here any longer

Came early hours of the morning however abamdoned search as dogs were barking, will have to try when there is some in light

Cache in good condition.
Log damp.
Though not sure where water is get in. And you'd expect it with outside being terrible weather. But a streaker got to cache.
Noted clue.
The ground here reminds me of little rice fields.

Easy

#2353 parked near the cache for this one but far enough to give myself 150 metres worth of steps to get there. As I approach the ground was very damp. Found the cache and here it gave me trouble. Opened it up and it was damp inside but try as I could I wasn't able to extract the log, back to the car & a search through my totts found the correct one soon had the dripping write in rain log in hand. There are now not many names left on the strip.

With cache in hand we signed the log and walked back up and replaced as found. Both the cache and log are in a wet condition. Thanks for bringing me to the area and thanks for placing the cache Blundo Busters. Wonder how long my name will last on the log

Happy to turn this DNF into a smiley. Thanks for replacing. Found pretty quickly this time around TFTC

Found it

I was thwarted on my last attempt at this one by muggles washing their cars in their front yard, so called back in today while I was passing by .... except that when I arrived and looked at the map, nothing was showing. What's going on here? Luckily, I zoomed the map out a bit and got the answer ... aaah, it's been relocated. Off I went to the new GZ where I had no problems making a find. Thanks for the cache BB.

Too easy

Found it.. look down low

Attempted this one a couple of nights back, however was greeted/questioned by 'Mr Cranky' (across the road resident) as to what we were doing. So to prevent a scene we aborted the find

Came back a couple of days later and approached from a different angle to as to not have the same displeasure

Finally CIH & SL

TFTC

Good

Quick stop after football for this easy find. Thank you

The BTEC Boys stumbled upon an empty cannister, for our first time, this cache was quite an easy find

Found! Our very first one! Thank you

Found it before heading to the final tower soon. TFTH

After a couple of unsuccessful visits, I decided to have another look for this one before the Christmas event at Chipping Norton. Not too many options where the iPhone was pointing and happy to get my name in an empty log

Damn

I will assess

Add DNF from me [:(!]

Unfortunately have to add my name to the list of DNFs. As mentioned by previous finders, coords seem a bit off as they had me on the nearby driveway. But with hint and previous experience, I started my search along the fence/gate. A thick layer of debris made it tricky to search thoroughly and also used iPhone camera to peak into a variety of holes/gaps. Will keep an eye on this one...

First dnf for the day! Searched all over but were unable to find it. Out and about caching whilst waiting for the other car to be serviced. TFT hunt

Could not find it even with the hint

No luck today even after call to CO ee came up empty handed. Will try again when in area next

Could not find this cache we searched every bit of the fence and gate but could not find it

This one took me way too long to find, Co-Ords were about 8-10m off on my Phone and GPS.
Thanks for the cache

Today I was on a caching mission to complete some to the Streak Challenge Caches in this area. Its over 50km from home so I grabbed a few others along the way to make the journey really worthwhile.
No caching trip would be complete without a Blundo Busters cache and this one was pretty much along the route of travel.

I could see the WaterTower approaching as I drove and made my way into the appropriate street and found a nice shady spot to leave the geomobile while I walked down and hunted for the cache.

The GPS wanted me in someones front yard but I decided to check somewhere nearby that often provides a BB hide. No luck and a small white dog had joined me. I continued checking, still no luck. Surely it wasn't right there near that house? There was a muggle doing something to his 4WD in the driveway but I decided to venture in a short distance anyway and check. He looked at me but said nothing. I guess he must have seen other cachers doing the same thing and wasn't worried.
Of course I had no luck so began checking other spots, which proved more successful, CIH, LS and TBs visited.

As I looked back I noticed the dog was giving GZ the once over.

found it, Dolphia help me how find it thanks Dolphia TFTC

Another water tower on our 'Finding Missing Water Towers' day. Parked behind some other cars and then walked up to GZ where the cache was quickly found. Clue noted, log signed and then on to anothe water tower.

Tftc on a rainy morning...

Great cache found with a little help from sevabo. TFTC

Well hidden. Quick sign and replace. Cache all good.Tftc

Found with Nurreg, both GPS's were out (mine was around 11m) but found without GPS. TFTC

Coords out by 11m, but the clue saved was good. Found with kb4b2

Continuing my Water Towers blitz today I headed down the GWH. 2nd stop Erskine Park. Put my having straight on this one for a quick find.

Maybe it's away for maintenance after reading the last comment on 16/4/16?

It took less than 10sec to walk from my house, I have found it but it was a broken, you could see how someone tried breaking the fence to get it out, The keychain is broken for it

This my second time and try to get it, no luck and again today I could move the cache in to position to get It out of a hole that seem to small for it anyway. I took a picture to proof I was there with the cache at least the wire attachment.

Found the cache in a few minute the coords took me straight to it. But after trying to remove it from it is camo was a different story after about 20 mins and with my knees giving away from the kneeling I had to give up there was no way I could move the cache in to position to get It out of a hole that seem to small for it anyway. I took a picture to proof I was there with the cache in hand well at least the wire attachment. Good luck to the next person.

Spent ages trudging up and down the “clue”, trying to get a good view of the tower construction but also waiting for arrow to settle. Eventually it kept coming back to one spot and something caught my eye. Got closer, confirmed the standard container type but try as I might, could not remove it from its location, even with its “handle”. No idea how it would even be positioned here in the first place let alone be removed without the jaws of life so had to resort to photographic evidence of a find. May need a CO check.

Quick find

Tftc. Number 15 for the day. Great hide.

After a tour of the suburb I arrived at GZ and made the find where something was out of place. TFTC.

17/9/15. 2:19 PM. Cache #3011. Streak day #452.
10th of 10 this afternoon - Huntingwood, Eastern Creek & Erskine Park.

My trip west had taken me as far as "lenore drive 2" and it was time to start thinking of heading home. I wanted one more for the day to round off to 10, and seeing as I'm getting close to finishing this water towers series, I came here. The find would have taken me ages a year or two ago, but I'm starting to get used to these now, so it was an easy find. Got my clue and I think I've got another 5 or so Water Towers to go. Headed for home; TFTC.

Quick find by Geodad. He was pretty happy!

Had a fun day caching and made plenty of finds. This was quite an easy one to find. TFTC.

Spent longer sitting in the car trying to say bye to someone before getting out and finding it.

2nd attempted and found it. thanks for leading us here

Idk if it was moved or what

New log

Just after work thought I'd head over to check this one out.
Jumped out of my car feeling quite exposed with the houses all around but very quickly had CIH.
I'm learning your style BB...
The log does need maintence, I places an old receipt in there for now...

TFTC another nice easy one...

Hard find, wrapped up with plastic as it was getting water damaged. Log needs maintenance.

Good hide not easy! Wrapped in plastic because it seemed water damaged. Needs log maintenance

Easy found ... Keep Muggles work at factory ... Hide well...thank

Out and about doing some sightseeing, and picked up a few caches in the area.
A great hide, but we had no trouble locating it.
Many thanks for placing this cache, Blundo Busters, for us and others to find.

Found the wire that I think it was attached to but didn't find the cache!

Found it but didn't have a pen to sign log.

A quick find on the way to pick up a couple of pizzas from Pizza Rocco at St Clair. Too sweet....

Knew what we were looking for & where to look, so it was a quick search, which is just as well as we felt very exposed here. Tried to use the car as camo. Hail Hydra Tftc xo

6129 Caches Found

Ventured out this early again morning down the thin black line again towards Sydney and the Western Suburbs. Rouse Hill Windsor and Scofields etc. To try and erase some of of the Little Green and Yellow boxes that keep poping up on my Geocaching map


Thanks for the great cache Blundo Busters(8D)

Cool starter cache

Just happened to notice this one after picking up a few caches nearby. Thought I saw something odd, but had to keep enjoying the view until a neighbour headed back into the house. Quick grab & voila!

Grabbed this one just out of the way of our trip along Luddenham Rd to pick up as many caches as we could before the storm hit. Good hide, nicely done.

Found in first spot I looked, then spent much longer thinking on the question!

#151 - Geocaching Live for Windows Phone

After finding 'Water Towers #7 - Tregear' I headed out to locate this cache. I used to see a student in this area but still needed some map assistance. I located GZ and found a couple of likely spots. But I also remembered how the CO likes to hide bison tubes in this particular kind of fencing and then easily located the cache. SL. TFTC.

Quit a bit of a detour to get to this one, with not many other caches around. Cache was in good order, but I felt watched by the closeby houses?
