As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been a number of months since the last owner note. I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it. Should you replace the cache after 30 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

Need to check and possible replace of cache sorry for any inconvenience

Went back armed with some further knowledge, I think this has gone walkabout (I found what looks very like the camo but no cache. Will sent photos to CO.

Had a look both sides of fence but no luck today. Geoteen found a syringe in the grass - be careful.

#1354 (6 of 6 today)

Full log to follow

Had a bit of a poke around, read a few previous logs, and soon had CIH. SL TFTC HappyPaintball!

21/12/14. 9:28 AM. Cache #2103. Streak day #182. 3rd find for the morning after getting the new one "Knockin' on heaven's door" nearby. This was easier than I thought it was going to be. Coords are good. TFTC }:)

Under the cover of darkness and iPhone jumping all over the place I almost gave up as there were still a lot of people walking past. Why are people going walking after 9:30 at night? CIH! SL! I think I'm getting the hang of this! Cute cache! Thanks for the challenge!

It was a quick find when I stumbled upon the cache today.
Thanks for the cache.

DNF for us....

I had just walked up from Pearce Reserve, collecting the series of colour caches on the way, and decided to go in search of somewhere to have lunch. I made for the Valentine Sports Park and stumbled across this cache, which by chance I found quite quickly. I was also lucky to discover that there was a new café open at the complex where I was able to grab a coffee and a bite to eat.

As others have mentioned, the log is missing. I signed on the scrap of paper left by the previous finder.

Nice one, thanks HappyPaintball.

Took me way too long to find this one. Fun hide

Log paper needs to be replaced. Signing a scrap piece of paper atm

Quick find but log missing signed scrap of paper TFTC

Log missing

#95 – Looking 4 Cache iPad App & Garmin eTrex 30

After finding ‘Sikh and you shall find’, I headed down Meurants Lane and parked just across from GZ. I tried this one a long time ago but I was a new cacher and didn’t really know what to look for. Given the public can only access one side of the fence, this narrowed down the search area. Looking up didn’t help but when I looked down and moved something around, something else didn’t look quite right. Bingo! I am grateful to finally cross this one of the list. SL. TFTC.

#2,808

Canary & I were heading towards Vertigo when I spotted this one on the map. It was only a few metres beyond where I had intended to turn that I made a detour to have a look.

At first I looked too high & got stabbed in the forehead by the fence wire. Then I looked in the right direction & spotted the cache.

Thanks

Found it, no difficulty at all after tip off from the CO yesterday. TFTC HP.

After a quick look yesterday I was concerned the improvement works to this complex were right where my gps was pointing me for the cache. A quick email to CO and he confirmed the location is still OK. So this morning I was back there and made the quick find. Thanks for the help HP.

Quick find with geo family thanks

Find Number 2321

The Booo's found this cache, TeamBooo spotted the camo, Booo Booo retrieved the cache and I signed the log. An nice family effort

Thanks HappyPaintball for placing this cache


This log was generated using a combination of GSAK and iGeoKnife iPhone app

Came out on sunday after work to make my daily find. Will say this was a regulation find though it did have me looking all along the fence 10m either side of GZ before i spied the cleaver camo. Took cache and camo to car for signing.

SL @ 8.26 pm

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Out and about with pjmpjm who had business in the general area.

A familiar camo style made for a quick find once the GPSr settled down to pinpoint GZ.

Thanks for the cache.

very clever

Found very clever hide. Was on the wrong side of the fence but still managed to spot it's hiding place

This was one of ten caches found today by rogerw3 and myself while on an informal geocaching expedition down into the northwestern suburbs of Sydney. I had an eye doctor's appointment at Norwest and rogerw3 came along to supervise me. We also logged a number of NSW State Survey Markers.

A clever hide! But yours truly has placed a couple up in the Blue Mountains that are very similar!

Accurate published coordinates took us close enough to make a quick find.

All was in good order.

Many thanks, once again, to HappyPaintball!

A nice hide. Found on the way to a family birthday party. TFTC

Very very hard find but sure enough got it in the end after persistence, have to think outside the box!!

Great spot. Took a while but found after 5 min. Stick to the task.

After getting some to the east and south decided to head up here and look for this. After a few false starts I spotted something that could be worth investigating, and it proved it was. After that quickly signed and back in place. Thanks HappyPaintball.

TFTC... Found with Mhoneybadger

Fantastic find. What a clever hide. Tftc.

Was thinking this was going to take much longer than first thought! TFTC!

Had a bit of snoop, too many people around. Might have to come back and have a look in the light of day.

Made a return visit with lozza2012 after receiving a hint from the CO, and we had the cache within 5 minutes of arriving. Thanks HappyPaintball! I'll have to be more persistent in the future

Had 20 minutes to spare, so searched both sides of the fence. Plenty of hiding spots, but came up empty. Will be back!

Clever little spot. Our persistence paid off.

Stopped by on way way home from work on Aug streak day # 5, TFTC HP

found on my lunch time run, after a little reading of previous log. Unfortunately no pen, so I'll be back to sign this one...

no luck on this one today, too many muggles about.

I've decided to fill in some of the blank spots in the calendar and today was one that needed a find. I'd also mentioned my plan to Baktrak and as he was in the area we agreed to meet here.

We searched that side and this side but it was only when we returned to that side that Baktrak looked somewhere else and said 'it's not there'. I stopped looking there too and soon spotted something worth investigating. We retrieved the sneaky cache and added our marks. Thanks HP.

I arrived on the right side and started looking for the sort of cache I'd expect to find here. Then sjamp arrived to repeat the exercise. We checked the other side but were no more successful, just colder on this chilly evening. Back to the other side and less distracted by the obvious, I spotted something that all made sense. Sjamp picked it a moment later, we did the paperwork and exited in automotive warmth. TftC

Like some previous caters I was initially on the wrong side of the fence. I was still able to locate the cache but had to go to the other side to retrieve. TFTC!

Very clever & creative hide! Really enjoyed searching this one out. Quick find! SL / TFTC

It was strangely quiet here for a Saturday with no games on at all. Easy to park inside and then approach. It wasn't long before I realised I was on the wrong side, or was I? Something caught my eye and I got in the right spot to examine it and find that it was indeed the cache. A good surface to sign on as I turned the page on the log and started the back. Good work.

Thanks!
(237 days...)

Loved it!! A fantastic little hiding spot. Found pretty quickly!! Cache signed and returned to hiding spot. Good to meet some other cachers here as well. TFTC!!

Very clever

#1898
I drove around to this cache and after parking, like other cachers, this too had me looking green and electric. Hmmm...a few logs later and I thought I knew what I might need to do. I checked and BAM, the cache was mine. Hahaha, clever HP. I SL and replaced. TFTC.

It took ages for the penny to drop at this cache today. If you stick to it the cache will appear. Thanks HP, very clever.

Nice camo job here Well done HPB.
Cheers

Came here when I was in year 7 for basketball. The area has changed a bit since then! TFTC HappyPaintball.

looking for another cache to keep the streak going a while longer, chose this one. The phone was pointing to the middle of the large object so had to guess which side to look being in the dark and not wanting to use the torch, wasn't sure about attracting attention as people were coming and going into the park so PAF it was to get this.

I played soccer here and attended Ralli Rasic coaching clinic here when I was 15, that was in 1982 the building was built and there was only on field

streak day 156 #1154

Canary dropped me off to look for this while he tended to business inside the sporting ground. I had busied myself reading logs before we got there which suggested to me that the cache would be easy to spot without a GPS or too much effort. So I stood like a fool for a while thinking I had the wrong angle or something. When Canary came out and discovered that I still hadn't found it he gave me a beating. That fixed me. Thanks

Found it even in the dark.

This took way too long, must have been the white wine for dinner:(
Needed a prompt from paf to finally get this even though I had handled the damn thing half a dozen times.
Simple but effective hide - well done.
SL TFTC

I like this one. TFTC

Gave up a free meal to go out to find a cache to keep my streak alive, and I am finding that I am having to drive the scenic route home from work. Becoming harder and harder to keep the momentum so I am thankful for this relatively quick find. SL #766 on day #250 TFTC

No GPS was required for this one.
Found safe SL and rntd safe.

Thanks for the quickie HP,

Well tonight we were caching with about 15 cockroaches...I HATE cockroaches!!!! So sent Mr 4DXPLOR in for the search & sure enough he quickly had CIH...T4TC

Two weeks ago my son was refereeing here. Today he was over at Blacktown. So, I came and made a find.

TFTC.

Published

Had a look around, could not settle on GZ with IPhone. Will be back with GPS, here's my DNF

Going through a period of 3TF on new caches. No muggle neighbours out this afternoon to watch me in action. A classic find, and yet so simple. Great work HappyPaintball.

2TF BB you beat us by 15minutes bugger!!!!!!
Great camo happy. TFTC

WooHoo! Another FTF.

I found the coords to be very accurate on this one. Very nice camo HP. Had me fooled the first time I looked.

Another HP cache done and dusted.

TFTC.
