Train Spotter - Dundas Station Dundas, New South Wales, Australia
By Blundo Busters on 12-Apr-13. Waypoint GC49MCB

No longer a railway station. Also, GZ has been totally demolished.

Did not find. It’s hard to as it’s a construction site now. Wasn’t sure what the original construction should be. Anyway did not find

I chanced my luck despite the previous dnfs, but spent a good half hour searching by torchlight to no avail.
I think a CO check might be needed.

could t find it

I came with a friend who found it years ago but it seemed to have fallen

Tricky!!!

No luck today. Inadvertently annoyed a neighbour. Probably too late to come back now.

DNF for me!

This one may be archived once the Sydney Trains cease running before the light rail ploughs through. Can the next finder please insert some paper, just to prolong this cache's life?

The log was wet and crumpled so I’ve taken a photo instead. TFTC

Forgot to attach a photo whoops haha

TFTC. Log is wet & not able to sign it. Photo of cache attached.

I think this one was far too visible to where it's supposed to be. Log is smooshed. TFTC

Log book is soaked, cannot write on log & needs replacing.

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

Found eventually but the log was on the ground wet and the tube was nearby. I've reassembled it and put it back where it obviously belongs. OCW Brewmaker. TFTC Blundo Busters

About to log a DNFwhem one more search revealed wet log on ground. Replaced as best as we could. TFTC

Clever hiding spot!

Found as a "fingerprint" clue for the mystery at the museum, tftc!

After spending half an hour searching with no luck around a year ago, I found it in less than a minute this afternoon. Thanks!

I've been driving past this one for years. Today the day for a quick find.
No cars no trains no muggles on a quite Sun afternoon.
Thanks for the cache.

Quick park and grab
Lucky to have station to myself
Thanks for the cache

Tftc. Cleverly hidden in suburbia.

TFTC with Jaybeem!

Up from Canberra to visit my brother who lives just down the road, I took a morning caching walk to search for this and one other.

Not the first time I have tried this one. Last time I must have overthought it and was looking for a different type of hide. This time I searched much the same areas until I spotted something that didn't look quite right in a place I hadn't tried. Bingo. Sneaky! TFTC

Found my way to GZ without any trouble, and while I was peering into likely hiding places I almost put my hand on it by accident.

Stopped off after leaving the Amateur Radio NSW (HAM Radio) bi-monthly Trash & Treasure sale, at Quarry Road Dural, for this one. It had been a fun filled morning of HAM radio junk scrounging, and a nice BBQ lunch with lots of friendly chit chat, but now it was time to grab some caches while on the homeward journey. This was the 6th of 14 finds, and 3 DNFs, for the day.

Parked the geomobile in the railway parking area and then headed over to GZ for a look. Checked in a few spots before noticing something interesting and, on further investigation, it was CIH. Signed the log and then replaced as found.

GZ is nice & close to the railway action, but sadly no trains were spotted there today. I'm not having much luck with trainspotting today. TFTC Blundo Busters.

Find #2890

Tftc!

TFTC. could be easily muggled

Took awhile to locate this one until finally a clue revealed itself. Had to avoid the passing foot traffic. TFTC.

Great spot! Tftc

TFTC!
I made a quick dash not long before midnight to secure the find as I approach my 366 grid goal (just 130 odd to go).
I absolutely loved GZ and am glad something like this exists in our very safety (and litigation) conscious modern city.
I saw a train pass as I made the find. Log was bone dry despite recent rain.
Cheers

Clever hide. Took a while. Used new coords. TFTC

Located at 9:50pm. A very satisfying find at nighttime, another well-placed Blundo cache crossed off the list Спасибо! תודה! L’chaim! TFTC!

Found it finally with a group of geocachers

I seemed far to worried about this find when looking at recent logs. Oh well... just go for it.
And after looking at a couple of places I saw something out of place.... a ha.
Tftc.
Christmas colours....

#3622 - Wired into this one with the geobike Kosci making the find and a lost dog travelling through while doing the legals. Many thanks to our champion CO Blundo Busters for another cache to be de-railed while training on the geobike.

Found it finally, I was with my friends at an 11th birthday party (Happy birthday Kim) and we went down to look for the cache because we had all tried but failed, I loved the hide soooooooooooo creative and I finally got the hint

Thanks for the cache

Ohmygodness! After searching for a few months we finally found it! Thankyou BB for the hide!!!!We

Looking with 7 other geocachers all friends.had to look high and low. But really happy we found it. Been looking for a long time. Woooohoooo

Clever hide.

TFTC!

Muggles haven't taken it, it's still in place.

Went looking with purplesheep did not found.
Life is sad

Very hard. Life is betraying me.Muggles have probably taken it.

Looked everywhere

Could be muggled again. We searched hard but couldnt find it

Went caching with cocotilly but couldnt find it. Caila_ also couldnt. Maybe muggled??

It was eerily quiet as I had the place to myself. I found the cache after a very short search and SL #3261 on streak day #1867. As I was crossing the tracks I was pondering that I didn't get to spot a train and just as I step past gate, the signal started blaring and scared the bejesus out of me. Sat in my car to write this log and spotted a train TFTC

I'm on my way into the Sydney ICC to collect my City2Surf pack for the big run tomorrow.
Having not been in this areas for many months I was eager to make amends on some previous DNFs in the Train Spotter Series caches.
I was not able to search properly for this cache back in March as there was a worker doing maintenance at the station and saw me lurking around and I could see he had an eye on me so I thought it best to come back another time.

I see the hide has now been moved to a new spot. And this morning I had the area to myself.
I zeroed in on the new GZ and started to assess what hiding spots where presented to me.
Knowing I had to expect almost anything from a BB hide I used what I've learnt from his hides to narrow down hiding spots.
After checking few places, a particular spot caught my eye.
There you are. Yep, another sneaky hide from BB.
I retrieved the cache and signed the shiny new log of the shiny new cache.

Thank you for another great hide in the Train Spotter Series.

Find: 389
2nd of 3 finds for today

New container and location.

Is it the fake switch box? If so, the log is missing

Unfound looked pretty hard...

Might need a check?

Couldn't see it anywhere? May be missing since noone has found it in the last few months?

Looked where I would it one with no results at GZ

Hrm.. too good for me today. TFTC anyway!

I love it

Hard to open. Not too hard to find

Who ho !! Pretty big

Could not find this one. Will try again another day.

Came at the same time as a fellow finder. Haha

Cache needs to be repaired as I had trouble opening it, but it's a good hide, kudos !!

DNF.

Found

Doh. Couldn't find after 20 mins. Will have to try again another day.

We'd just completed a nearby night cache and had come to Dundas to eat awesome pizza. the Hancock Clan and I visited GZ with richary watching . I'd previously failed here, but today Mr Hancock found us all a well hidden cache. Thanks, now back to eating pizza.

After ordering pizza nearby with some fellow cachers, following finding a nearby night-cache, I checked to see if there were any nearby caches. This one was very close, and we needed one for the "Geocaching Australia GeosportZ 'wrestling' challenge". Thankfully it was an easy find, Tronador & Mr H then wrestled over it for the challenge, but getting it open was hard work. A large key proved to be successful in prising the container open as the screw mechanism no longer works. We signed the log, replaced everything, and went and enjoyed a very good pizza nearby. TFTC!
Cheers,
The Hancock Clan

Came out empty handed, found some spots that we didn't want to put our hands.

Found it but unable to open container. Took a photo for proof and broke a nail

Third find for the day. Nice easy find after a short search. TFTC #136

Oooh that's s sneaky one too - I think I'd have struggled here if camo hadn't been moved and container was on show.

I replaced everything hoe I thinking should be

Tftc

Got it

When this was first published we set out for the FTF but it was later confirmed it had been muggled. We are currently trying to finish an anniversary challenge cache we recently singed so with today be the anniversary of the hide date we headed back today. The hide was soon found and the log signed. We still need a few more to get to 20 anniversary finds but we started at only 8 out of 7500 odd finds so started well behind the average. TFTC

Geo Mum forgot to log my find from back last school holidays [:x]

Geo Mum forgot to log my find from back last school holidays [8]

Just grabbed this cache to keep my streak going. Think I sign the log for the 17 but just realised it is the 18th. Oops. TFTC.

Found at 9:34pm.

I came to Dundas Station to maintain my find streak for a 46th consecutive day. I was obviously hoping for a quick find but it turned out to be much the opposite. There were no muggles loitering so I was left to my devices. There were a few voices I could hear coming from the nearby apartment block but I don't think they were too concerned if they could see me from up there.

I really struggled to find anything likely in my first 10 minutes of searching. I continued to remind myself of the hint but it didn't offer any assistance until I widened my search.

After about 20 minutes at GZ I spotted a not-so-obvious container, not to mention I was greeted by a lovely looking cockroach (NOT!) - not lovely I mean, there was definitely a cockroach.

He was keen to guard the cache so in the end I had to take the plunge and reach in for the grab. He hung around, crawling over my belongings before heading back to what I can only assume is his bedroom.

Signed log and returned back into position. Definitely not the easiest Train Spotter cache I've done.

Thanks for the cache Blundo Busters

Took longer than it should have with Snickersallan

GPS had us in a different spot but the good hint made us think outside the square and soon had cache in hand, TFTC

Recent weather made this a lot harder to find than it needed to be. Found it after rechecking one of the first places that I looked. TFTC!

Nice quick & easy find! Simple - but extremely effective TFTC

Before the AGM, I scouted around for all the caches inside the extremity of my 10km from home zone. This was the first. Like others I could not prise it open, I could not get the "nak" of it. I placed it inside the ziplock bag (as it wasn't when I found it). Seems the weather might have sealed it up. Logging as a find as there is a precedent!

TFTC Blundo blusters - seems the trains were running today.

looked all over the GZ even people's photos didn't help

Good to go

Bit of a search but hubby soon found it tftc

Yay we found it
Funky uws monkeys woooo

Digi brigade strikes again a long absence but new friends makes the world go round

No trains for my quick visit tftc

Like Celtical, I found the cache, but couldn't open it. With approval from the CO, I can log this find.
Thanks for the cache.

Found it but couldn't open it will send photo to CO

Found it but couldn't open it. Seems to be jammed shut or I need to eat more weetbix. Two of us tried.

CO accepted my find. (even though I couldn't open it) woohoo!!
thanks BB

Found by Geowife as Geohubbie took the lazy option and just looked instead of using the time honoured geocaching tradition of fiddling with things to see if they move.

Found it. Trouvé. 見つけた.

Found in the middle of a hot day - geogirl with her arm in plaster and not a happy camper. TFTC.

Park and grab. After I remove all rubbish from site.

TFTC! 2nd urban for today

our first one a great find fun and challenging

Easy find after looking at the hint. Young master Q loved the trains passing and the massive crane next to the tracks.

TFTC:)

Quick find - bringing me to a part of Sydney I've never been to before. Thanks.

Parked off the main road on the Parramatta side and walked all the way back under the railway bridge and up to the station. Had not noticed the access behind the bus stop. TFTC.
