A picturesque old house. Eliminating the cache being hidden on the private fence or other private property, I searched the tree, although it was a few metres from GZ. I shone a torch into the hollow interior, but found nothing, and searched the tree for hanging bisons and other hides. It was a DNF!
Awsome hide , made me feel like Flash Gordon from that infamous scene where he had to prove himself in the swamp to the guy who had been betrothed to the woman who had the hots for flash..... ( sorry bad pun!!)
Was it inside the fence? Didn't want to get through the fence and couldn't see anything outside 
Four of us looked for half an hour ... Was some obvious spots where we thought it could / should of been .... But we had to give up
A.K.A GeoDudes "Gotta cachem all" TFTC easy find nice camo A quick park and grab
Lovey old house here in St Mary's and the cache was found in the only place where one can hide. Did the legals and replaced as found. TFTCM

I arrived at an obvious GZ, did a circumnavigation and then saw the cache in plain view.. TFTC
After a little looking we found it. Forgot a pen so didn't sign unfortunately. Awesome find.

Free for the afternoon, I finally decided to go for a puzzle cache that I've had my eye on since it was published. then I went a lot further west to grab a few more.

Was hoping for a quick find after my last marathon search.
And despite the workman in Bronte House's front yard, the muggle in his car next to GZ and barking dogs it was a quick spot. Timed my grab to hopefully look like I'm just admiring the place, and took to the nearby park to complete signing duties.
More barking dogs on the return, but both the workman and the car muggle were gone.
Getting dark. Can I grab one more?

After driving the geo-widow to a bridal shower thingy, I had a couple of hours of caching time in this part of the world this afternoon before I had to pick her up again. Despite the onset of rain part way through, I managed 16 finds (as well as a couple of DNFs, probably due to muggling) so a good afternoon was had by both of us.
This one was a quick park & grab, made easy by the absence of any muggles anywhere around. Thanks for the hide Booos, and for showing me this rose amongst the thorns.

We had been invited to a friends 50th birthday party at St Marys and, as this one was very close to our destination, we just couldn't resist stopping off for a look.
And were glad we did. Such a nice old historic building to admire. Cache was a quick find with the good accurate coords. SLTNLN. TFTC.
Happy International Geocaching Day everyone

When your 3-year old is getting grumpy its great to have simple little gems like this to nab. Also a great excuse to stop at a beautiful local house!

This was the only find for today. After finishing at UWS, I headed home but noticed this cache was only a slight detour away. I managed to find parking near GZ and after I worked out which side of the road the cache was on, I noticed several spots the cache could be hidden in. I circled the likely spots and soon spied the cache. Bronte House is very charming - why can't houses be built like this anymore? SL. TFTC.

A great little hide at a nice location. Love places like this. Thank you for the cache.

Was so much easier the second time. Of course, the first time there was a gardener working along the footpath. Beautiful house.
Took a few mins but we got it

25/10/14. 4:24 PM. Cache #1960. Streak day #125. Last of 3 cache finds this afternoon. After getting a couple of caches around Merrylands and Wentworthville, I spent the next few hours working my way through more waypoints of bikerbuddie's big 'new' multi, "Milestones", finding 9 more mileage markers between Wentworthville & St Marys. I was running out of battery and time, so I left the last 4 waypoints for another day.
But I wanted one more find, so I came here, near enough to where I finished. It was an easy find, but I discovered that I'd lost my pen at some stage this afternoon. So I had to photograph the log. TFTC }:)

TFTC. The geokids told me it was too easy. Lol. Have to give them a multi cache I think.
Finally spotted this elusive hide and found it to be jammed in its hidey hole. Used a nearby extraction instrument before replacing in a more accessible spot.
Found it with muggle spouse who "doesn't get it", but still likes to give a helping hand when I go out to do some caching (o: Nice and easy find. Coordinates were spot on. Love the historic home - TFTC!
I pulled up at coordinates got out and found cache in the first place I looked. Geokids then told me I was not allowed to look for anymore until they have tried first LOL oops 
TFTC I love this series of Historic Homes

Having a bad day when I had time to kill in St Marys. Found only 1 out of 5. Hey! This was the 1. So I am reasonable happy, better than none. Liked the history. TFTC TeamBooo.
I don't know what I am doing wrong. This was my last try to find a cache today with my little boy and we could not find it.
