I’m fairly certain this one isn’t here anymore due to all the light rail works

Nope

Think this one no longer exists due to construction

Looked for a while. Wet under foot with some sort of construction barriers in place. May have been moved?

Had no luck at GZ and didn’t want to overturn all the trash

Not so hard to find. Was looking under stuff, but out in the open.

Oh the things we’ll do for a little virtual golden gem! I hike over to Camellia Station from work - a pleasant walk on a surprisingly warm winter afternoon. The area around GZ is pretty sodden and there’s a bit of rubbish around. Coordinates were a bit rubbery and I was under some time pressure. There aren’t a lot of trains here and the next one was in 8 minutes. Was it possible? Turns out it was but only just. Found container lying on ground in the open. I must have stepped over it while looking at the GPS. Not many places to hide it so propped it in a corner and ran to the platform to be the last on the train by a whisker. SL TFTC Cheers... Gaztek

Blundo Busters I found your cache Train Spotter - Beware of Trains on 11/5/19, 11:25 am. This is my find 2351 and find # 3 today. Parked on the track for a quick and easy grab. Thanks for the cache! TNSLLN

Many, many more trucks than trains here today. After working at the exhibition centre nearby for the past 3 weeks I thought I'd best stop by to snag this cache before I was on my way again. TFTC.

Today we were all off over to Guildford for a Boxing Day lunch with relatives, but couldn't resist a few cache stops along the way. This was the 2nd of 7 finds for the day.

After finding "Always read the plaque - Ryde Pumping Station No.2" this was our next cache stop on our way to Guildford, parking the geomobile in the open area close to the cache.

Wandered over to GZ and made a super quick find in the first place we looked. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found. Looks like it's been quite some time since the tracks here have carried any rolling stock. TFTC Blundo Busters.

Find #2851

Very nice - tftc

Got it TFTC

Straying nearby for work lart night. Started my day with a walk to grab a cache for a future loop on the found by date
Thanks for the cache Blundo Busters

Fast find, much bigger than I was expecting. Thanks!

Quick find, a lot more trucks than trains passing by. TFTC

What still more of these too do, they just keep coming and coming. Lucky find probably. Tftn

Second attempt. It must've been in a different spot last time as I looked all over this area for ages and couldn't turn it up. Walked straight to it this time. Thanks.

TFTF

My second train spotter find of the day ... and unlike the last one, not a train in sight here, just a lot of passing trucks that thew up water from the puddles on the road! A quick find though once you get a chance to look ... it's all there in the name! Thanks for the hide Blundo Busters.

Initially, I could not find it. Looked here, looked there. GPS all over the place. Saw that a friend had recently found it, so phoned for help. It was not where he said it was. I was about to walk away and then i found it. It was just lying on the ground. After signing the log, I placed it back where it should be.
Thanks

Lucky enough to get the only parking spot left before moving in for a quick find. TFTC.

Find count: 236

Just a quiet searching day today.

---
A relatively simple find when looking at the right elevation. Not a BB hide I wud have expected.

TFTC! I took a wrong turn but managed to make the find after collecting a few spikey weeds.
Great spot - I mistakenly thought the logs were about the Carlingford line, so I took a relaxed stroll along it last December until I heard a loud rumbling - oh boy. That was all kinds of a bad idea.

was out in the open i put it up a bit

Police tape...
No more trains here.
Easy quick find before work.
Log full.
Tftc

Good spot to do some geocache training...

Was nice meeting you the other day at Pemulway! First Train spotter find!
Looking ahead to find more

Wanting two caches today for my personal challenge for 2018 I came over here to the Rosehill area for these two nearby railway themed caches.
I didn't know the area and found myself on the wrong side of the rail line and had to wait for a train to pass to get to GZ.
I spent quite some time checking every possible hide location I could think of and even expanded my search zone and looked at area from the track side. Actually that helped as I spotted the cache which blended in really well with all the rubbish in the area. I should have believed the GPS as the co-ordinates were spot on.
Had to wait for another train as I returned to the geomobile. Fancy two trains on this line!

TFTC # 2373

This cache was found today and brings our overall cache find tally to 9477.

This one took a bit to locate. It wasn’t in the logical spot so I expanded the search and eventually came back to just nearby and made the find. I’d suggest the present altitude is a little lower than originally planned.

Thanks Blundo Busters for the cache.

Was out in the open, put back in an adjacent secure location to keep it safe. TFTC

Quite a few muggles around tonight made it a bit tricky. Well hidden. TFTC

#3621 - Great little location and train station. There is a pedestrian crossing of the single train line to Carlingford. So cyclists don't have to climb the bridge. But no footpath on the east side of James Ruse Drive north of Grand Avenue North to the Parra Bridge, but there is a pedestrian walkway on both sides of the Parra Bridge to the north.
Rocked up to the cache for an eventual find. Many thanks to the CO ***Blundo Busters*** for another regional cache so the rest of us can go searching and visit so hidden locations in Sydney's suburbia.

Found with Wystan. Neatly hidden and could just be another piece of rubbish in this area.

Fairly quick find with Mrs Wystan but not where we first thought of looking. Greetings from the UK on our final day working in Parramatta.

Nice unexpanded 7-Up bottle. I often use those bottles for fishhooks

Quick find thanks

Dropped in to the Prospect area to visit the Pemulwuy Power Trail and nearby caches.
Tally for the day, 23 finds and 2 DNFs.
- - -
On the way home, stopped by a few caches en route to create a few more smilies.
This was the 21st find of the day.
Love these old railway crossings. Hope they preserve it.
Thanks for introducing me to this location, Blundo Busters

I headed out today with the intention of finding "numbers", but I like getting the numbers that come we good quality hides and offer a nice walk plus discovering somewhere new. Decided to head for The Hills to keep me busy today. (17/17 finds).

On my way home from the Hills I had enough time to take one detour. I'd passed this one many times but never made time to stop. As I turned off James Ruse Drive and headed over the bridge I thought I'd already mucked it up as my initial thought was that it was on the western side of the train line. So I turned towards the station and discovered that there was nowhere to park. Hmmm what now. But when I looked back at my phone it showed that I was only 12m away - hang on, I was on the right side after all. So I did a naughty park out of the way (parking is at a premium around here, so people actually park ON the rails - see photo) and walked back to the cache. Well that was a straight forward find. All in good nick, but there's probably only 1/4 of the log sheet left. Thanks Blundo Busters.

Quick find. Thank you.

Located at 10:57pm. Nice and easy. TFTC!

Was over this way to have a gander at the garden show.
Easy find while waiting to spot a train, which would be a long time coming.
TFTC BB's.

Awesome!

I walked all over this area last year and did the same again. I overthought it both times, looking for the BB hides that I have come to know, but it was much more simple than that this time. Look for a stack of rocks that can only be found in the world of geocaching.

Awesome .. never been around here before. But my Dad was a camellia grower. Thinking of him today. Very happy memories. Thank you Blundo Busters.

After a couple of minutes searching GZ, we spotted something that looked a little out of place.
Took the cache back to the car and soon realised we didn't have a pen.
Quick dash over to Aldi solved that problem.

Down from Brisbane for the Hemp Health Expo and went for a morning cache outing. Tftc

Yay my first find! That was fun

You're looking for a green tube. I found an obvious marking...

Didn't see any , but did find the cache! TFTC Blundo Busters

Found while on a short business trip. I had to purchase a short term gym membership and this cache was just a short distance away. The container was lying on the ground in plain view, so I tried to rehide it as best I could. Not sure where the original location was, but I was able to find some camo near by.

Found just before getting to the Camping and Caravan Supershow at Rosehill Gardens. I needed my cache for the day and this one was ideal. TFTC!

Look low and don't stop

Popped overvi foom code red tftc

Found today. Luckily the water helped me get it out! TFTC

#194
As I walked towards GZ I saw something laying on the ground, wait a minute, that's the cache, out in the open. So I grabbed the cache, signed the log and contacted the CO on where this cache rightfully belongs. So once I heard back From Blundo Busters I placed the cache where instructed.

Second time in town from Perth and second attempt at this one. Could not it was right under foot after fifteen minutes of searching.

Strange little hide.. easy enough to spot, though. TFTC!

Good hide! TFTC!

Not easy to get to the log.

Out and about today continuing on my little mission. Thank goodness that I had the geokids with me, had a bit of trouble retrieving the container, found with Bluewattle Mini and Bluewattle Junior

I spied it first, cool hide [8]

Lucky that I have the small hands in the family, found with Bluewattle and Bluewatle Junior [:x]

Drop My dad off at Westmead Hospital for op to 6 hours ... Im go out for geocaching today....
Beautiful full sunny and bit hot...
Hide well... no trouble...
Thanks

Muggled out on this one unfortunately. Young guy hanging around maybe waiting for a lift.
Have to try another day.

I returned to this little nemesis cache, but this time armed with some information from a previous finder. Made the find reasonably quickly this time around, now how to get it out. Ahhh yes, I will use a technique I used on a find last weekend. And there it was. Signed and glad to have crossed it off the list. Thanks Blundo Busters.

Muggles about but they paid no notice to me. Quick find, but I needed a tool to extract this. Not sure if this is where it was. All dry. another day of Geosportz Marathon.

Tftc pretty easy just a tad tricky to grab out

Found laying on the open ground, maybe washed out by the recent heavy rain. Popped into nearby hiddy hole. TFTC.

Our fingers weren't long enough to retrieve the container so we couldn't sign the log but we definetly found it after dropping the car in for a service.

First find of the day. Very sneaky hide. Took me awhile but thankfully persistence paid off. TFTC

Sneaky little hide!

Here earlier today but had to Come back with help. Got it. Great hide

No luck first time but it wasn't going to beat us went back again had a think and there it very sneaky TFTC

I looked high. I looked low. In trees under leaves in poles in puddles... I saw a few muggles but no cache. I'll be back.

Lesson learned !! Never doubt the coords

Sneaky sneaky !!!

Found it.

Had help from ,chacher who had just found earlier.

found it eventually

Quick find after Supers how. TFTC

Found after work to keep my streak going. Interesting hide sneaky. TFTC.

Loved this one - very clever & creative cache concealment. Nice quick & easy find only way to visit a school in Auburn & speak for their Chapel program. TFTC

Found with Coybear2000. We spent too much time looking on the wrong side of the fence and in all the wrong places. We were very aware of passing muggles - lots of vehicles going to and fro. Eventually looked in the correct spot. TFTC

Getting new car stereo installed close by so some time with Trodectus to go cache hunting. Arrived GZ and thinking of trainspotters other caches began searching, looking in all the wrong places, naturally. Eventually looked in right place. TFTC

Easy find took two min. Our first find very excited. YEY!!!!!

Tftc was ezy.

First find in the Parramatta shire on a morning jog before another day in the Granville office. Tftc

Looked for quite a while and almost gave up. Had a hard think and then, there it was. Thanx

TFTC

Came down to Parramatta for a work conference, decided to go caching aswell, tftc

sevabo and I searched high and low for a long while until we found the cache then we looked each other and we got stumped but it was a brilliant hide!!! Thanks BB for bringing us here.

We searched for it almost 10 mins and hahahaha Great hide, loved it. Thanks for leading us here.

Nice easy park and find. TFTC.

very sneaky hide, needed the help of a stick to get at it. TFTC

I used to live just up the road, and also many years ago I went to Tech with someone who was into train spotting and we made a point of travelling all over the network including the Abattoirs line. Looks like it has been a while since a train went up there. None of that helped me locate the cache though, even now I have come home and seen there is a picture of the container I am none the wiser as to where it might be. Oh well, you get that sometimes. Thanks Blundo Busters.

Sneaky little spot, not at all where I expected. Thanks

Out with my niece, driving lessons and geocaching

I was in town for work today and decided to collect a few caches on my way out - and after picking up some nearby it seemed like a good idea to knick across the main drag and see if I could spot a train while I was at it.
I arrived at GZ just as one of the local businesses finished up for the day - I tried to appear to the constant stream of muggles as though I had reason to be there... And just as I started to scratch my head about the what and where I checked "there" and spotted what I'd come for - after extracting the cache I noticed a funky smell attached to it, that lingered on my hands afterward. thanks for the Nice, sneaky hide here!
