TFTC. Great series. I never knew Hillsdale existed...but it's not like I come this way often.
2nd in Christmas caching with the family. My 4 yr old Geokid was so excited to make the find that, I'm terribly sorry but, he used up quite a bit of the log to sign his name!
I found the majority of this series in January 2015 and even though the CO had given me the clue for this one as it had been muggled it took me this long to get back to complete finds 1-7. I found the GZ for the final but at 10.15 at night I didn't persevere too long so the completion will have to wait.

Up from down south to drop the geofamily off at the airport as they jet off to Perth for a week. I'll miss them... Wait well that means more geocaching after they have left. So a good few hours in Sydney caching was an afternoon well spent. Such a busy place unfortunately. Thanks to all the cache owners that had caches I visited today. Tftc tnln
Muggles around so used some stealth here

Wasn't as difficult as I was expecting. A neighbour sitting on wall was biggest challenge. TFTC.
One of the first occasions where I shouldn't have read the logs! They had me thinking it was much trickier than it actually was, and when I ignored them and trusted my standard geosenses I was quickly rewarded - tftc!
Out and about walking the dog I am house sitting again.
A lovely day today as well, no wind.
A quick find here with no one around.
Grabbed the clue.
Thanks for the cache.

This is the first cache found in Sydney while on holidays, just across the road from our sons apartment. Geohusband found the cache straight away, muggle son was very impressed.

Out caching with Cryptic8 to continue my streak. We drove around checking out this Hillsdale series. This is a part of Sydney I hadn't been to for many years. Thanks for bringing me here again gullightly. We enjoyed the drive and visiting the little reserves.
This was #2 for us in this series. Parked and walked straight up to it. I immediately spotted it as I have seen similar containers disguising the log on a bridge in The Shire. At least I didn't lose it into any water this time! Those tiny magnets are the strongest I have ever seen! Back in place and onto the nearby Bowling Club for some lunch before we try some others later.

Another Found with my muggle friend on last weekend but forgot to log. I found a similar one at coogee so it was a quick finding. Nice cache! TFTC!!
Found on the 1/2/16. Haven't seen one like this before and help from Brezie was appreciated to log this cache! TFTC
Ahhhhhh, I love these caches! Introduced a friend to this new style. She couldn't believe it was the cache until I took it in hand.
A bit of night caching to avoid getting the new year off to a bad start. Our intention is to keep our streak going for at least this year so there was no way I could let a day pass by without a cache.

Finally I got my very own account. Now I log all the caches, I found together with Mutex over the last while. In his profile ([url=https://goo.gl/hcB2ug]https://goo.gl/hcB2ug[/url]) you can see his confirmation, that we search and find together.
I hope, this it's ok for all the owners. If there are any questions, feel free to contact any of us.
Cheers and TFTC

At the moment I'm on a work and travel backpacking trip through the world. Most of the first two years I'll spend in Australia and I will try to collect a lot of boxes in every state all around and through the middle.
Came over from Picton, to finally buy a four wheel drive. On the way back home we made a stop here and, as I fortunately already know these hides, scored a quick find.
TFTC and greetings from Germany

TFTC,
5th of the series. All OK.
Trying to get to 3000 before we go away next month. I finished all the caches in the Macarthur Panther series over 12 months ago and wish to make GC4G0Y4 the big one. Today I have reduced my remaining count from 27 to 12 by traveling to the Eastern Suburbs.
Visited a group of trackables.

Caching in the area today to do the Hillsdale Series. Didn't do them in sequence however got all but the puzzle and number 5 completed before the rain set in. TFTC gullightly.
Touring Hillsdale with Miz Wacket and Count Jacula. Quick find because Miz Wacket and I had both been baffled by one of these recently.
I was keen to have a go sliding down the hill, but all the bits of cardboard on hand were damp and wouldn't slide. Oh, well, probably for the best. At least it saved me from having to go to the Emergency Department with a crazy 'middle aged person acting like a child' injury.

Omg how dumb are we nearly posted a DNF, had not seen one of these before love it
#1897 (7 of 10 today)
Decided to push to 1900 finds today, hopefully ending with a 2 Dogs cache for the milestone. Decided to return to an area I've rarely been to - east of Kingsford Smith Airport.
By the end of the day, all my targets had been met - although that milestone cache gave me some trouble.
[center]END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION[/center]
Seventh quick find in a row. How unusual.
Arrived at the park and saw where the iPhone was pointing. Got there and spotted the hide immediately - helps when you've seen a lot of them.
Took to a nearby bench to complete signing duties, then back for the replace.

It's always good to see something and just know instantly it's what you want. Thanks again gullightly.

I was at GC coordinates but couldn't find any GC magnetic or otherwise, within 5m of it. Is it possible that it has been removed?!
TFTC!
Another new spot right near where childhood years were spent. What a crater - must remember to slide down on cardboard boxes soon.

A quick park & grab on a sunny Saturday afternoon, with not a muggle in sight. Had to "jump to attention" at GZ. Nice colourful artwork on the toilet block. TFTC.
Reach!!!! Sheesh!! Had to impro for this one.., lucky there was a garbage bin handy. TFTC.
Found the last of the Hillsdale caches. Forgot to write the clues down for the other ones so get to do them again TFTC
Felix the spy and liampj were laughably short for this one; in fact, you wouldn't want to be much shorter than 185 cm or so. The geokids rolled down the steep hill without injury while I wrote in the log. They did, however, get quite wet. Thanks!
With a dead GPS it was lucky I'd done my homework on this area and the caches here. With 760+ finds I had a good idea where to look. Fortunately I could remember the hint and this helped too, also made me carry something unusual so I could reach it.
No muggles around, shame as this is a nice park and after all the rain they should have been out enjoying it.

Repeated muggling has been moved. Harder to get too will need to be taller or use team work.
Muggled again. Will move soon

Ouch..... This miss means have to use a bit of trial and error to find the mystery cache. Looks like it has been muggled.
Dnf not because it's hard to find. But because there's nothing to find! Confirmed this with previous finder pk! Darn! We so wanted to do the mystery cache in the series! Whattay shame!
