After reading the previous logs, I took some replacement items for this cache.
I arrived at GZ and soon had the cache in hand.
I emptied water from the container and removed the wet paper and bag.
I replace logbook and placed it in new ziplock bag.
I replaced the cache as found.
Hopefully this will help keep this cache in play.

12-Sep-19
I tried this one months ago but ended running out of time, got to GZ and circled around and spotted the cache, my next dilemma was how do I retrieve it, I found a way, signed the log and I was on my way.

A nice afternoon walk in an urban meadow. I prefer it this way, than the road we might have had.

Maintenance required.

After dropping my car in for a service this morning i had intended to hop on a train and take my time while grabbing a couple of city caches only to be called up by work to replace someone off sick.
My plans thwarted i resorted to heading up here this evening after picking up the car from the mechanic.
At the GZ there were only a couple of potential hiding places and after ticking a couple off the list found the cache in a good spot.
The log is a little damp from condensation but in good condition and easily writable.
Thanks.

Today we headed over to North Ryde and Denistone East for a mixture of short walk and "park & grab" caches. This was the 9th of 17 finds for the day.

Another section of unrealised roadway, and another cache to bring us to it. Crossed over the "roadway" and soon arrived at GZ, making a super quick find of the cache container. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found. TFTC JordsAU.

Find #2616

Spent some time wandering as my GPS settled. I read some clues and took the advice to get down low, and soon I was CIH. Good hide and 2/2 for me today.

Located at 7:43pm. Nice and easy. TFTC!
 
16-Oct-17
A quick stop while driving through Ryde. Wasn't hard to find. You'd think they would make better use of such a valuable piece of land.
 
15-Oct-17
Quick, unstumpable find after cycling from Blacktown via the coathanger. Many thanks to the CO JordsAU for another of the local caches being established and maintained.
 
26-Sep-17
Another stunning Sydney spring day and another day of many in a row where caches and logs avoid getting wet. Heaven really!
This is a strange plot of land. Was it to be a road? One of the lone shrubberies held the secret. TFTC.
 
20-Aug-17
Found by The Empire
A few quick finds, on a short run to gather the crew, then head to Newcastle for the Ice Hockey. Thanks for the cache, JordsAU.

OCW Rodney1210. I did the obvious thing and went for the big beacon. Then I realised it was the other beacon. A quick find once I got in there. Contents are a bit damp. TFTC!
 
07-Aug-17
Seeing a client nearby, great opp for a quick, cheeky cache afterwards. Coords had me going to 2 different trees, after crawling about for a bit it was CIH. Cache #229 TFTC

Found today drop a TB full log to follow.

Out on a beautiful winter day to clock up sum number I have not really cached in the area before just picked up the odd one as I have been passing through. But today I came to cache I want to get about 25 every week for the next 13 months that is my new goal. So here we go. This was number 6 for the day. TFTC. I left a TB as mentioned in a note I wrote straight after finding it. I also picked up a pathtag.

Not having a specific target in mind for my daily cache, I headed towards Marsfield to try my luck. I saw some green spots in Dunbar Park but it was over run by kids doing school sport. So I continued on to this one. As it turns out, I picked the worst place to park but it was great to get some extra steps on the fitbit. Quick find at GZ where I signed log and took TB.
