We enjoyed this one. Fun and easy! Although I think the loud dog next door wanted to eat us.TFTCTilly rose and mum

A bonus cache while car being serviced in Buffalo Rd. No barking dog until after the find! TFTC JordsAU!

My son found it. Thanks for the hunt.

Awesome Hide, nice and quiet park. Forgot to bring my own pen

Cache number 1600! Brave hide. Made the find with the famous athletic Rottweiler. Cool little park thank you

Took me a good while! Had 2 different people come ask me if i worked for the council! Tftc

Oh, how I hate putting my hand where there might be spiders ?TFTC

Hi

We had a fun time finding it

Needed a cache today for my year grid. The barking dog scared me a bit. Found the cache. TFTC

Easy find with dog barking tftc

Found It!
A quick find here while the neighbours dog was barking as loud as it could.
TFTC

We missed it the first time, but found it when we circled back. TFTC.

Tftc

Found tyftc.

After getting barked at by the neighbouring dog, I sat on the nearby seat and narrowed GZ down to one location. Found on the first attempt while the dog watched over after it's owner managed to keep it quiet. I sat down on top of GZ as there were no other muggles about once I had CIH. Signed and replaced as found. Another hide on a playground! TFTC

A local neighbours dog decided to bark at me incessantly but I was able make the find without too much trouble. TFTC!

Quick find and nice little area
TFTC

Pleasingly quick find on today's rain.

Cheers

Got my hand right in there... Phew...
Nice and dry.
SL, TFTC,

We looked around for a while and thought we checked the spot, but after looking again, we found it.

A lot of rain today meant no muggles on the playground. Coordinates are very accurate and it took not long before Eagle Eyed Monkey Girl had the cache in hand!
TFTC.

I am on my way back home down south after a quick trip to Casino gathering caches that are in different LGAs . This was another so I was very keen to find it. However I didn't realise that the coordinates were so far out. During a PAF it started to pour so I raced back to my car. It took a while for the rain to finish by which time my friend had a brainwave and suggested where to try. It turned out he was correct and the cache was found, the log signed and all returned to the neat little hidey hole. TFTC JordsAU & starstrider

Quick find with GZ (fortunately) deserted. Thanks jordsAU & starstrider for the cache

Found with family 1st of today's 3 geocache plan TFTC geo cache #8

A playground cache.

Had to look a bit harder than we expected based on previous comments, but we found it after about 10mins of searching. TFTC.

Another quite park, except for the barking dog.
A quick find.
TFTC.

Out for a spot of caching after the rain. Parked at the end of the cul-de-sac and walked over to the little playground and sat on the seat to weigh up my options. Fortunately there was no one in the playground this morning as it wasn't in the first place that I looked but it was the second. Log was full so I added a new one. TFTC JordsAU & starstrider.

Me and my dad walked in circles before going to the spot we looked first and found it ! Quick and easy find ! Although we couldn’t write in the log book because it was full we took a photo for proof !?

Found it! Log full.

Found it after a few mins of searching while my 3yo and 8yo played on the swings. TFTC! log is full.

Needed to break up my late night drive home from Lane Cove National Park after a eventfull night of training. These stops were quick and painless in the dark
TFTC Wilbert67

A nice easy find right as the sun was going down.
I made the dash over after work and arrived with just enough light to search by.
The park was empty so i was able to search in peace.
I missed the cache on my first pass and spent a couple of minutes walking around in circles before i went back to my initial idea and found the cache.
Unfortunately the log was completely full so I wasn’t able to sign.
Pic as proof.
Thanks.

A nice, quick, convenient cache after work.
Next doors’ dog wasn’t particularly friendly though, barked throughout my search and signing duties.
Tftc.

TFTC. Nice quick one. That dog looks like it could jump the fence to welcome us!

Quick and easy find but logbook is full.
Maintenance required.
Tftc

Lovely spot, and I met the dog:)

Found it without any trouble.

Nice quiet park tftc

The barking dog settles quicker than the find

Glad the dog settled. Now we can settle as with make the find

On Tour around Sydney and Paramatta.
Here we can find the cache after a short searching.
Thank you and greetings from Germany send Moorhelmi

A small park we had never visited before. No muggles about but a noisey dog watching over the park. TFTC

Got to the park, on approaching a muggle dog was watching me come the road and into the park, GPS was pointing in the dogs direction. I’m thinking to myself it will bark when I get closer, sure enough he starts barking which makes the owner come out, so I acted like I was looking at my iPad and was taking a rest, eventually he went back inside and I had a chance to look, bingo CIH.

Find #: 1,989
Companions: None
Muggles: A boy in a nearby house
Weather: Lovely summer morning
Cache condition: Good

I decided to go for a jog in an area with unfound caches. This was the eighth and final I searched for. There was a boy playing with a soccer ball in the house overlooking the park; he didn't pay me attention but I still was glad to get CIH quickly. TNLNSL, TFTC

Was passing thru with Trodectus, so we looked for a possible park and grab. Parked near GZ and after a short walk to the co-ords, saw a few possible places for a hide. After a short search, came up with the goods and had CIH. Log signed and returned. TFTC

Found with Coybear2000. We were in the area and we had a little time to spare, so what better than trying for a simple find? We parked nearby and headed to GZ. We started our search and after a short while we had CIH. TFTC.

Tftc

Maybe it’s been moved or pilfered?

Today we headed over to North Ryde and Denistone East for a mixture of short walk and "park & grab" caches. This was the 17th of 17 finds for the day.

Our last cache for the day. Parked the geomobile at the end of Dempsey Street, then headed into the reserve for a look. Quickly uncovered the hide and had CIH. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found. It's always interesting to learn about the history of an area when visiting. TFTC JordsAU & starstrider.

Find #2624

Just in Sydney for the day for work. I had a bit of spare time between work commitments so I went to find a few caches. Ah ha! I had found another cache hidden like this one one not too far from here so I was onto the hide straight away. TFTC, Biggles.

Easy find. Log full. Had to squeeze initials in. TFTC JordsAu

#101. 7:55am. Got it . TFTC. Fyi CO, the log book is full.

Been riding all over North Ryde looking for caches, this is my last one of the day!

Located at 11:54pm. OCW Coastblue. This was an awkward find with a barking dog right on GZ and neighbouring houses all right on top of us. We made a quick find, signed the log and replaced. Спасибо! תודה! L’chaim! TFTC!

OCW Alephroom and we dreaded this one as soon as we saw where we had to be. Even when I have little Zed with me I still find these hides so awkward. This one didn’t disappointment. As we stepped into the park, we were barked at. Yep, not even five metres in and the dog had us figured out. The lights were on in the muggle dog’s muggle owner’s house and we could even see him moving around inside. With our torches on our phones on, Alephroom made a quick find and we migrated to the bench to perform our signing duties. The log is completely full. I had to sign over the top of someone who had since faded away... And then that muggle walked out of his house. It’s midnight. Why aren’t you sleeping? We have an excuse. We’re caching... A quick and quiet replace and we were out of there. TFTC!

Guessed location of the cache from the car
Thanks for the cache

Easy find.
TFTC

Quick find. Log is full. TFTC

Great park, easy find. TFTC

Dog opposite kept barking which was a bit off putting. Got the cache after a little search. TFTC

Nice park area and intetesting about history... Signed the log as EV. Thanks for the cache and hunt

Another park and equipment. I brought some food to eat while I sneakily signed the log. TFTC

I was travelling through the area on the way to my job sight and figured I may as well grab a few on the way, but I've now decided to clear out the caches in this area.
Seeing where the coordinates for GZ were at I had a pretty good idea of where the cache might be hiding. Yep.... sure enough there it is.
I signed the log and returned as found.

Find: 468
20th of 24 finds for today
2 DNFs for today
Cache:Is in good condition
Log/Logbook: Is in good condition and more than 75% full.

Luckily I work in a mobile response team, this means I can grab caches during work hours!! Park was bare as it was a school day. Coords had me in circles before finding cache in a spot I wasn't used to! Nicely done! Cache# 314 TFTC

#1597
On my way from finding 3 near Denistone East when I remembered there was one tucked in near the golf course. Lucky to find a parking spot and that the park was not in use. Having found 2 other playground caches already, this one was located in the first place I looked.
TFTC JordsAU

Not a fan of these placements and particularly the structure. Park empty fortunately even tho its school holidays. Always enjoy the history lessons.
TFTC

At last. Must be my fifth visit. And in the obvious place. Sure I looked here. SL TFTC.

On this wet day I trawled Denistone for 21 finds and a couple of DNFs. This well and truly filled a calendar vacancy.
The storm was playing up with the signal but it was only a process of elimination.
TFTC

Last one of 16 by bike and about 11km...in the rain. Was pouring when I got here so luckily in the first place I reached I felt the prize. Cheers!

No kids out here today. Kids aren't that stood to go out in the heat of the day. The last cache i found i retorted the temperature to be 38°C. 5 minutes later at this cache the temperature has climbed to 40°C. I don't want to know what it will be when i get to work in half an hour!
Thanks for the cache.

I came past this way and found the cache without problems.

Still here, tftc! My coordinates were about 10m from initial place.

Had a ride and found a cache
TFTC

I just can't do this. Maybe my fourth visit and came away empty handed.

We were glad that there were no mini muggles at play here today. The only problem was the very vocal canine next door. A very quick search revealed the cache and everything else was also done quickly, the signing, the replacement and the retreat to the geo vehicle. Our thanks to JordsAU for this cache.

Compass wasn't working, so I looked around for a while and finally found it!

Great geocache

This one was pretty hard TFTC!

Lucky there were no little humans playing on the equipment. TFTC.

Found it 10 from the original spot

Had a good look. Nothing about

wow hard one

well we couldn't find it... think it's been muggled

Found it with family,tftc!

God was all over the place so took a while

Took a bit longer than expected but probably best we did it at night while no children were about

Very creative!

Took a while

#2946 - Early Sunday morning cycle. Noisy barking dog next door. Just keep on hunting, luckily no muggles and kuddles around. Finally centred on the sticky critter. Many thanks to JordsAU for establishing and maintaing this cache.

Quick find

TFTC 1795# out and about with TMcKenzie

First attempt was unsuccessful, but managed to find it this time. The spot is overlooked by houses, and you do wonder how dodgy you look snooping around.

Tftc, found early on the way to work thanks to the finish of day light savings.
