Checked all the DNFs and then hen I cycled up to within sight, I notice the area was full of doggles and muggles. No thanks. Try any arvo on the geobike.
Today I had planned to drive up to Sydney in preparation for the Lane Cove 15th year anniversary of Australia's first cache. I had booked a hotel room in Macquarie so I had the day to myself to take my time knocking off a couple caches.
After checking into the hotel, I decided to go for a drive and see if I could score some local caches before settling in for the night. This one wasn't far from the hotel so off I went. I had to avoid this location on my first walk past as there were a heap of muggles sitting here with their dogs. When I came back, it was clear. I searched the most obvious spot which as stated by previous cacher, looks like its been attacked by Hulk. I used my phone to search on all different angles, but unfortunately I conceded defeat on this one also. Hmmm.... Maybe next time. Thanks anyways JordsAU. Back to the hotel for me.

After shrimpton's Creek, I had enough time for another before work hide, chose this one as no1&2 look like they are situated in the shrub as the drizzle falls on the windscreen.
With torch in hand I guessed where it might be and CIH.
Please do be careful with the sign as it appears the hulk has been caching here, thanks JordsAU

Woooo great find in a sorta obvious location but do need to look out for spiders so extraction tool required :O
Had no pen to sign sorry but TFTC

The navigation took us to a large flat metal ground cover in the middle of a large open grass area, we dug up all the grass and mud and searched around the outside, not sure we were at the right spot, also it's a very high muggle area, not so easy
Caching with AlphaDeltaIndigo. A nice quick find.. Yea.. To ADI on finding this one before me!!! TFTC
Quick find (by meeee) in a quiet open grassland.. Thankfully no Mozzies.
Cache is located in an insect farm of a location. CO may want to reconsider hide...or suggest to carry extraction tools (like sticks).

There weren't many places that the cache could have been and I spotted it pretty easily. I was glad to find one after my second failure at the previous cache. TFTC!
Found it fairly easy due to hints from previous logs. The hardest part was dodging the mugged that were having a picnic right near GZ. Just sat down and drank some water while grabbing the cache. Signed and replaced where found. TFTC!
Easy find, thanks JordsAU. Although someone has mangled the camo/structure so could see cache on approach. Nice open grassland area.
Replacement cache container should be ready this week and planning on getting there to fix ASAP. Apologies for the delay, it has taken longer than expected.
Planning to replace this one next chance I have but cannot get there until later this month at the earliest unfortunately.
Searched absolutely EVERYWHERE....... but obviously not - unless the cache is no longer here...

New log book needed - quite full, and the plastic bag it sits in is wearable as a collar.
#437 (Streak day 63)
Wow, 9 weeks! Feels like...
Arrived at GZ after work and the hide jumped out at me. Just had to wait for all the muggles, including residents who had a view of GZ. Then one man stops for no reason and looks at his mobile phone right near GZ. And doesn't move for AGES.
Finally had the chance for the grab, and it was right where I thought.
The log is full.
Took a short distance - had a small girl watching as I signed on someone's garbage bin. She disappreared & I went for the replace.

Top park and cache hide. Found before the trip to watch the Bridge fireworks.
Many thanks.
Many thanks.
Found while on a big geo trip away with tmann421.
Sorry for the late & repeat logs as just catching up now.
A great time had, some wonderful places seen, thanks to all the NSW geo cachers.

I was greedy today so decided to nab a 2nd one as the rain had gotten lighter. ..arrived at GZ and knew exactly where to look for this one...so nabbed cache & SL and replaced. TFTC
Not many areas where this one could be! So looked in an obvious place and soon had cache in hand!! TFTC!!
Decided this evening I would travel down to the Ryde, Marsfield area to try my hand at caching after dark. Had some excitement on the Expressway just before Wahroonga A Holden Commodore in front of me decide to do some fancy 360’s down the road sparks lighting up the evening like New Year. His two front Mag wheel evidently decided simultaneously to explode, He ended up the gutter against the rock wall with pieces of wheels all over the Expressway. The driver and passengers weren’t injured just shocked. Yet another great cache. Well done. TFTC
On the way to wedding thought I would grab a few caches on the way TFTC found first place we looked found with lj05 Caitcat 17 and hiddit

After finding some other caches in the series, I visited this to be greeted with success.

A bit tricky this one, butn I found it on my second attempt. Nice hiding place. tftc
After being at Dunbar Park, JordsAU suggested to me to find more ECR ones nearby; this was the closest and navigated my way there on my phone
Spent probably way too long on this way, can't believe I didn't search there earlier, but also enjoyed a few minutes of the cricket match taking place in front
TFTC, JordsAU!

# 6923 Found on a morning drive around before going in to ANZ stadium to watch
the mighty Roosters win the NRL Grand final against the Eagles, just for the record.
Not many muggles around here today and another not so quick find.
Thanks for the cache JordsAU,
Roostaman.

While we were searching we were asked by a friendly local walking her dog, "Are you looking for a small black thing?". We answered, "Yes," and we were given a pointer before finding the cache.

Found at 9:02pm with JordsAU and Goughy2012. Limited hiding spots so finding this baby wasn't too much of a task. SL TFTC
Quick find on a night caching expedition. SL&R. Keeping up on the 31 Days Challenge... Thanks, JordsAu
Found whilst out with CJ whilst doing the 31 days of August challenge.
We've been busy finding caches for the this fun challenge. The description and coords were were excellent. There were many places to look, but as it was dark there were no muggles around at all. I made the find using some good caching logic and we both soon had the cache in hand. We both were a little concerned about the exact location as the GPSr placed the location about 5-8 metres off.
Anyway, it was a great night to chase the 31 one days challenge. It was a nice location and I know the area well. Thanks JordsAU for the cache. This one has been ticked off. SL TNLN TFTC

First day in a while. Great day to cache on a sunny winters day. Love the series. Found with supasmile, sonecas24 and pirry
I'd been here before but was foiled by a dogged man and his dog who I couldn't hound from gz.
Back today with a co-worker who has a burgeoning interest in this caper. Found with little fuss and replaced. Thanks JordsAU.

Day 4 of 31 Days of Geocaching. Out with Footyfanatics and decided to revisit this area and cache after its rebirth a few months back. TFTC.
Found it on a sunny winters day while out with evangt. We had been here before but couldn't find the first version. TFTC
Out for a late Saturday afternoon walk. Soccer, netball and lots of dogs at this lovely park! L TFTC Cheers... Gaztek
Had no luck here in it's first incarnation, but I think that was around the time it was muggled. Back at Macquarie today and went out to find a few before it was time to return close to home to get the shopping and pick Anna up from work. A nice easy find this time around, in the 2nd obvious spot I checked. Still no luck with #2 though. Thanks JordsAU.
Arrived at GZ and quickly found the cache in the most likely spot. found with extraordinaryellen TFTC
Found on a holiday caching day with Carojajoda. Day 7 of my holiday caching streak. Not many parking spots available here. A quick park and grab today on an overcast day. TFTC JordsAU.
Out on a caching day with Karennicole we were lucky this was a park and grab as there was no legal parking in street nearby. Spotted a potential hiding spot as soon as we arrived and KN made the grab. TFTC
Whew, made it harder than it was. This was the 1st place I checked, but the second feel did the trick.
After working not too far from here today, I had some time to spare after for a bit of a walk. Decided to have a go at a few of these 'ghost road' caches. At times it seemed strange to be wandering along the middle of a six lane highway covered in grass. I made finding this cache harder on myself than it could have been by checking a few wrong places before checking the most obvious place. TFTC, Biggles.
Found the original (v1) a while back, was coming by today, so decided to go ahead and pick up the new one as well.
Easy find, although had to watch my step with so many dogs around. Light rain.
Thanks for the cache!

Found it... well "reached" it with help from mini-dalek.
Mrsdalek provided an extra sheet of paper for extra logging as existing is full.

3rd try & DNF.
Being new, I have very little idea what I'm looking for.
Maybe my GPS is clueless as it points differently to the clues I got via PAF.

Well I know where it is but there was a guy sitting in a chair throwing balls to his dog right nearby. I went and found #2 but he was still there when I got back. Will duck back soon... Thanks JordsAU.
no need for GPSr on this one. Waterfist switched off his targeting computer and just used the Force. CIH.
