Shame that this one's been archived. Thought it was quite an amusing hide, and brought me great joy as my fourth find. Thanks for the cache, The Dino-Mites, looking forward to a possible replacement!
I found this one in September but did not log it as I thought I would need a quick contingency cache due to difficulties I was experiencing at the time. As it turned-out, I didn’t need it then but kept it aside for a rain day.
At the time, I did think it was a bit of a bold hide, ripe for muggling, so I was not surprised to find it missing when I visited in the rain this morning.
There appears to have been some gardening going on recently as there is a pile of pruned branches near GZ. Perhaps a neighbour dumped them there, as they do. Even though it was raining quite heavily, I had a good look around, though I was not prepared to move the garden waste as it was sopping.
A Found it log hasn’t been posted since 5 October, which is strange as it previously had quite a high find rate.
Anyway, that’ll teach me for not logging immediately. Thanks The Dino-Mites.

Alas, this one has gone. Thanks to the fellow cacher who pointed out the problem. We'll try to put another cache in this little park soon.
Quick find on route from work to SES. Sorry didn't have time to swap anything. TFTC

Another park & grab in a small park. I was after one last quick hide as the light started to fade.
Simple hide, obvious camo, but what's with the plastic chair?
No Trash Pack "people" in the cache.

Oh ma gosh first geocache i have ever found and how would have though it'd be near the bus stop where I catch the 668to school every morning for the past six years!! So proud of myself thus is so much fun!!
Last of 3 for the day, and a nice easy find it was as well. No sign of any trashies (or anything apart from the logbook) in the cache, so I left a geocoin for the next finder. Thanks Dino-Mites.
Turned up here without the GPS and was relying on my memory from when I looked at this on the internet. Didn't take long to find a likely looking area with evidence of where people had headed to GZ. Thanks The Dino-Mites.
Interesting little reserve for a quick find on streak day 400. I wonder if the real names of the hiders of this cache are bill and Ben.

Geocache #472.
Found on Thursday, 15th August 2013 at 9:18 PM.
Conditions: clear.
Current streak #15 days.
My 371st find for The Great Scouts Australia Geocaching Competition 2013.
Day fifteen of the 31 Days of Geocaching in the month of August and I headed out to claim another daily souvenir to keep #31in31 streak alive.
After footy training, Jase90 and I took a detour on the way home to search for this new cache hidden in Rotary Park. It did not take long until we had the CIH and the log was signed, TFTC The Dino-Mites.

Despite having two young children, trash packs were a bit of a mystery to me. Still are in fact. Nonetheless, I parked nearby and zipped into the park. Headed straight into the garden and found the cache immediately. Just a log book and pencil present, but other wise all good. Replaced camo as found. Thanks Dino-Mites.
We lived really close to here, years ago but I don't recall walking through this little park. There were no geocaches then. A pleasantly quick find today. Took the Windsock TB. TftC
After driving past this cache for the past couple of weeks whilst visiting the lovely wife in hospital, we finally got around to checking it out after shopping up the road.
Thanks again, Dino-mites, for a cool cache
I would be wary of muggles around here, though. I did meet a nice, elderly Asian gentleman who seemed to be checking out how much the surrounding bush was growing over his fence. He didn't seem to approve of a long-haired, bespectacled feller geocaching

I had 90 minutes to take the dog for a walk while the geosons were at church and the geodaughter at ice skating practice with geomum. There were 3 Dino-Mites caches in close proximity so a route was devised to grab all 3.
After emerging from the bush after finding "Nothing", the geodoggie and I continued through the burbs to a familiar set of traffic lights. It was totally dark by now, I always feel apprehensive abotu using a torch as I feel like a burglar going along fences and the like. So I was glad that I only had to turn it on for a few moments here. I learned what a trashie looks like! But left it there as I had none to swap.

Went for a ten minute twilight stroll, probably the easiest out of the four geocaches i've found!
nice little hiding spot, TNLN

An interesting little hide. After adjusting my approach I made a quick find in broad daylight.

Needed a quick find tonight to keep my August challenge alive this makes minimum of a find a day so far for August 5/5. Whoo. Also marks my 101st cache. Nice quirky park. Thanks for bringing me here. Took yurts gc. TFTC
Came here with the geotoddler and the geopups. The 2 year old is a bit young for Trashies and the older 2 kids don't seem to have come across them yet, so I didn't have any to swap, so when I made the find I left the one in the container. TNLNSL TFTC!
This is an amazingly popular area for new caches. I saw this one had six finds within an hour of publishing! I've got a cache six months old with the same number of finds. Mind you it's a 5km bushwalk to get to it!
Today I was looking for a close to home cache and this fitted the bill. Have had lunch in one of the restaurants here at Five Ways a few times. I don't think I've noticed this park though so today was my first visit. It was a quick follow of the geocachers' trail to the out of place object and a quick find. Signed as 15th-to-find and dropped off a GC, hope the next person grabs it.
Thanks!

Found it on a sunny winters day while out with evangt. A nice easy find in a small park. A muggle walked through as we were replacing cache. TFTC
Out with Footyfanatics clearing the caches we hadn't done. This was on our radar and got it quite easily. As a muggle closely joined us we discussed the pines, succulents and lavender in local vicinity like we were horticulturalists (whilst sidestepping towards car) to get out hopefully unsuspected. TFTC
Nice straight forward cache.
Had to wait briefly for muggles to move, but otherwise, very easy.
Thanks for the cache!

Day 2 of August Streak.
Was nearby having a lunch with old work mates.
Grabbed this beforehand.
Followed the track in and a quick find.
Thanks Dino-Mites.

Thank goodness I found this one as I certainly didn't find the store I was looking for at the nearby Macquarie Centre, everything is always moving around and closing down there - what a waste of time.

Came past today on the way to work. Parked, and while on the phone to PPE walked over and started searching. Hung up and checked the iPhone which saw me 8 metres away. Narrowed in and saw a likely hide. BAM, found it! SL, TNLN and replaced. Good to see more caches in the area. TFTC.
