By ManceyPants and Wakko Akos on 07-Mar-13. Waypoint GC4790C

Found pretty quickly. Log still nice and dry. Glad that it was dry for easier access. TFTC.

Nice find with a dry log. Signed and replaced as found. TFTC

Happy to report that cache is fine after the recent backburn activity. Taking TB (Pete the puffer fish) somewhere closer to the ocean.

No luck searched all along the rock drop avoiding leaf spiders and leeches. nice suburban bushland wouldn’t have otherwise discovered

Tftc. Original log pretty wet. New log dry.

Found

SLIPPERY after "the big rain"️, wondering how I'll get back up again?
Poured out the water from the box and did a couple of shakes.
Log sheet too wet to unfold & sign, so I added a dry sheet in ziplock bag.
Also added a TB - I think it might try to get to the Great Barrier reef (?)
.
SL, TFTC

I was in the area, so decided to chase this one down, even in the deluge.
Found my way down the slippery slopes to make a quick and dry find.

Quick and easy find in the rain, cache and log nice and dry. A lovely, secluded piece of bush land, with only the sound of tyres on a wet road to remind you that you’re in dense suburbia! Thanks ManceyPants and Wakko Akos for the cache

Fun, short bushwhack to get to this cache. Had to battle a few spiderwebs and fallen debris. I hiked down the wrong set of rocks, but soon found it as GPS caught up. Appreciate my good boots and the hint! Left a trackable.

Nice spot. Be prepared to bush bash and do some climbing

Tftc. Slowly does it. And slowly gps catches up and there it is.

Very happy to have the hint, did just as told and found the cache! TFTC

A climb down to find this one. TFTC

Once on the right level a good find. TFTC

Soon found when over the drop. TFTC

TFTC from the Kayakviking!
An interesting bathroom sign on the way down! Fortunately no evidence.
A quick stretch and jump had CIH.
All good. KV

An easy find after work.
I arrived with plenty of light left and parked on the road above the site.
After a short bush bash I arrived at the GZ and made a quick find.
Quite a nice spot.
The container is in good condition and the log is dry.
Thanks.

4th cache of the day. TFTC!
Thanks for the tip about entering at the fire box

Once the way down was found the cache was soon in hand. TFTC!

Very cool

A caching outing in and around Turramurra and Lane Cove NP. I was in the area to pick up some second hand sporting gear and while here I wanted to do some caching in these unspoiled parts, plus making sure I finally get Australias oldest cache!
I had an awesome time, mostly doing caches in the bush. I had all the bush completly to myself and even if some of the walks where not far from houses (and all right in civilisation) it still felt like a real nature outing.

This cache:
Some logs made this out to be hard to get to, so I was worried, turns out it is not at all hard to get to or find tHe cache, coords are spot on.
Thank you ManceyPants and Wakko Akos for putting the cache out and maintaining it.

Great Cache hiding spot! Took a while to find out but once we jumped down we found it pretty quick!

Bit of jumping and landing and general bushbashing. Found, signed and replaced. Thanks for being me to this spot and tftc!

TFTC very well hidden and took a while for us to find, but ultimately was very fun to scavenge around to try and find. Great cache.

Maybe coming at dusk not the best idea but managed with a torch. Beautiful part of the world. Tftc

Found with Knight-Trekkers, who were offered up as tribute to go down the slight drop. After some persistence it was found. I volunteered to be the set of hands to help get her up again. Thanks for the fun.

Found on a walk with Jessica. TFTC

The rocks were very slippery after a couple of days of rain, but I managed to find an easy way down, greatly assisted by gravity. The cache was a straightforward find, nice and dry and in good condition, but getting back up was a bit tricky.

With the sun out after a few days of rain, a day of caching with Oldmorty provided perfect conditions for some searching for treasures. Found the conditions a bit wet and didn't venture down low enough. A decision was made so unfortunately no success. TFTC!

Today I teamed up again with morty8888 for another day of caching, this time around the Pymble, Gordon and Roseville areas. We had a very enjoyable and adventurous day visiting the cache locations, finding many of the hides but also a few DNF's along the way. We were a bit worried we wouldn't be able to scramble back up the slippery rocks after all the rain yesterday so we didn't venture down.

A surprisingly quick little find not far from the road. Log is a little damp but still writable. TFTC

A bit of bush bashing involved but we found it! TFTC!

Easy find....something looked different and yes there it was.

Nice easy find after a pleasant little scramble down from the road. A bit damp in the cache but all safe and sound. Tb grabbed. SL tftc in this interesting spot!

Thanks for the cache.
Added a traceable

Geo hubby was sent down to retrieve this one when it was realised at what level it would probably be found. He succeeded in locating it, did the signing duties and then rejoined the other team member. Thank you to ManceyPants and Wakko Akos for placing this cache, which adds another smiley to our caching map.

A quick find after completing a job nearby. I seem to remember a DNF here a while back. A nice bit of bush. Thanks for the hide.

Just over for a few days from the UK to visit the Rellies. Nice little walk, TFTC

Found and recamoed. Tftc!

Stopped off on way home.
Found quickly.
Added my name and reset.

The cache needs some attention. The log book has fallen apart.

A very peaceful place. A good clue where to find the cache. Getting later in the afternoon and the birds are out to play. No muggles here. Now to get out of the area. T&B

I come from a land down under .... and found a cache down under! TFTC Wakko Akos

We went down under then came up for air with CIH. Easy stroll to GZ. TFTC

Tftc
Quick stop on the way out of Sydney
All is good with the cache, signed

My dad and i went on a quick geocaching trip around the ku-ring-gai bicentennial park to pick up 5 geocaches. I'm planning to get a geocache with some friends on the weekend, and wanted to make that the special 100th, so found a few geocaches to pump up my cache count
Thanks for the hide!! My GPS was quite misleading, but after some persistence and approaching what i thought was GZ from different angles, I saw a slightly suspicious arrangement of camo, and of course had a look and cache was in hand a nice patch of bushland- but didn't appreciate the mosquitoes!

Located at 6:40pm. Excellent hide in a very lush and peaceful location. Deserving of a favourite point. Спасибо! תודה! L’chaim! TFTC!

TFTC!

Wow glad i make it phew!! Signed the log as EV. Thanks for the cache and hunt

Quick find today after find the right SPR Log is a bit damp but the rest is all good thanks for placing the cache cheers

I parked close by GZ and just needed to figure out how to get to the trail and find the right level.
Once i was near GZ a hiding area presented itself and I soon had CIH. It was pretty cool seeing my Geo sons signing on the log from 8 months earlier.
This has been a lonely cache.

Yes it’s taken a year to log this find, better late than never.

Find: 488
2nd of 3 finds for today
0 DNFs for today
Cache:Is in good condition
Log/Logbook: Logsheet is 50% full

Nicely placed and a bit of fun for an old guy to get to. All in good condition.

good ol goods

TFTC. Nice location

A trickier WA cache that I of course approached the wrong way. I did find some nice ropes though to get down the gully just east of the cache. They took me too low but gave me a clear bearing and the find soon followed. Cheers!

Found it but of course took the hard way, foraging through jungle and fighting mosquitoes TFT C

Tftc great location

After four days of unpacking boxes in our new house, it was time to fold out the bicycle and discover some of the caches around West Pymble. Coming from the Netherlands, a flat country, I was vertically challenged and sometimes had to push the bike up a hill as the bike lacked the required gears for going uphill.

For this cache I left the bicycle in the bushes and walked the final 15 meters before descending along some boulders. Once two meters lower, it was not long before I had the cache in hand.

Thanks for the cache, Wakko Akos.

On a morning stroll I found this Cache.

Thanks.

Good one.

A little bit of bush bashing to get to GZ, as no clear geo-trails evident. Found once we were at the right level! TFTC

Nice little hide. TFTC

Great location !!

Left a few more log pages

Tftc

Tftc, completed Back in Nam last week so when I was approaching GZ I had a good idea of where this one would be. No leeches this time.

Really cool spot

TFTC (needs a new log book)

Fire hydrant hint was great, my 4 & 7 year olds thought this was their most adventurous hunt yet!

Entered via a sort of track behind the fire hydrant on Wallalong Crescent. Quick find once in location. TFTC

Today we were targeting caches in the West Pymble area. We are getting close to our 800th milestone cache and, having a particular cache in mind for number 800, we needed to find 8 more caches to get us to number 799. This was our 4th find of the day.

After finding "Rock Trail" we drove the very short distance to this one. Parked the geomobile in Wallalong Crescent and navigated through the bush until close to GZ. Then, after finding a way down to the required elevation, it wasn't long before we spotted the hide and had CIH. Signed the log book and swapped a domino for a coloured dice, then replaced as found ensuring that the natural camo was all back in place. TFTC.

Find #795

#127
Followed the compass and the hint straight to cache. Number 5 for the morning. TFTC. No TB here

Hubby committed to the climb.

Quick find once on correct level. Took trackable. Had stayed dry at work wearing a rain coat but that wasn't in here. Tftc Ln

A nice and easy find. Getting back up, not so easy.
Left a trackable.
Thanks for the cache.

Found at 12:35pm.

Today I was up early to go on a cache-hunting mission. This was my sixth out of eight finds for the day and 15 for the whole weekend. I had done my research on some local caches which I needed to fill in my D/T and 'Hidden Month' grid and I wasn't disappointed on my adventures.

Today I stayed around the area's of Turramurra, Gordon and West Pymble. I was pleasantly surprised by the high standard of caches. It's probably owed to the fact that they were all mostly rural-type hides as opposed to your typical boring nano on a park bench.

The weather today was stunning and the temperature was just a little on the cold side early on but warmed up in the mid-morning. I began my day with a couple of DNF's which didn't give me good momentum but I was keen to rectify it and get on a roll with a couple of finds.

'Down Under, Up' was my sixth cache for the day and my third along the crescent of Wallawong, although not in the 'Wallawong Crescent' series. I noticed that this one was similar to Back In Nam XL which I had found earlier this morning, an impressive cache it was, this one certainly not as big in size.

I found a half decent entry point after parking across the road from GZ and began mapping my route in. It was only a short walk through the greenery before I found a short drop, soonafter I found the cache which was hidden similiarly to 'Back In Nam XL'.

Signed log, Thanks for the cache Wakko Akos

Another fun find. Stomping through some bushland with Mizcupcake

Found with Crinklypear5. I didn't look at the T rating for this one before we began so we didn't expect a bush walk but it was still fun, tftc!

I had some spare time this morning before my work commitments commenced so I decided to go for a bit of a walkabout in this area. Nice one! A short bush walk with a twist at the end. Nice hide. No trackables in cache though. TFTC, Biggles.

Streak day #248 - today I am looking after my neighbours kids. They are old enough to be home alone for a few hours, however as she was going away over night asked if I could keep an eye on them. I babysat them for around 10 years so I was happy to hang out since I don't get to see them as often as I used to. I suggested going ice skating since we had talked about it previously. They were very keen. We grabbed a cache on the way over which was their first ever. They were so excited that they asked to do some more on the way home. I was happy to oblige. This was the third of four we grabbed on our way home. We could have easily kept going, but it was getting late and I was hungry. We parked in Kamilaroy road so we could grab the cache Rock Trail, but we decided to keep going to this one as it wasn't far away. We walked down the road as far as we could before heading bush. I led the way so that I could break any spiders webs. The youngest didn't like the idea of walking into one. By this point it doesn't faze me too much. It was a relatively easy little bush bash to where we spotted the features mentioned in the hint. From there we made a quick find because there was very little camo on the cache, although I am familiar with SPOR camo now anyway. We signed the log then made sure to cover the cache a little better than we found it. The way out that we found was even slightly easier than the way in. I think we have time for one more cache. TFTC.

Thanks to another group of more experienced cachers we bumped into enroute, we shared the find (they found it we claimed it too!). Bit of a bush bash but not too far from the road. Tftc.

Found fairly easily after a bit of bush bashing. Met some fellow beginner geocachers.

Looked too far too long elsewhere until torch shone on a familiar item, thanks MP & WA

Easy

A bit too damp and slippery to climb down today. Didn't find it but will have to try another time.

Sam and Callam found this. Fun to find!

Nice little spot but is this area not a bushland regeneration site? TFTC

We have set up camp at the Lane Cove Caravan Park, while our daughter is in hospital for a couple of weeks.
Today we planned on finding caches in the Pymble area. We were surprised how much native bush is in this area. A wonderful morning out tiki touring the area.
Thanks for placing this cache Wakko Akos

After a fair bit of bush bashing kdawg of dacrew found it on his hike Love the ropes going down but found them misleading TFTC

Geokids were worried that the rocks might bite them - and a leech almost did. But a fun bush bash.

A little tough for this old bird, but able to pass the pen down to greedy reidys.

Last minute find with 2 friends. Wasn't exactly an easy find for us at 10pm late at night with little torches...
Hint is to enter track where the big red fire box is. GPS coord was spot on, but still it took a while to find.
I was ready to give up when my friend found it
Well hidden and an obvious spot now that I think about it...

An easy find, quite wet here today, lots of wet cobwebs as well. Dropped a trackable off.

One of the best WA hides I've seen, so like TMann421, I'll give it an encouragement award. Thanks Wakko Akos.

Nice bush bash. Tftc
