Hey gullightly, I was walking past today and checked on your cache - it's not where I found it and not could I see it nearby... just a heads up!
This one took us a bit longer to find. The noise from the freeway was quite distracting. Cobwebs everywhere. TFTF
Out with Brewmaker today finding some caches around Homebush and Strathfield. We arrived at GZ and, after having read the hint, one of us looked down low in one location while the other looked up high in a different location. Then one of us made a quick find, at the right angle, of course
Spent the afternoon OCW Mikev1. We found 10 out of 11 hides. This was #10 find for the day.
Quick park and grab. There are lots of right angles to choose from, but it didn't take long for the right right angle to reveal the hidden cache. TFTC.

Searched and searched and got even more frustrated when reading that everyone else found it so simple!! Maybe next time!!
#765 Eleventh of eighteen finds on a great day caching around Homebush West and South Strathfield.. Found after a short search. TFTC
Back in Oz meeting old friends and new caches.
Thanks for the hunt and the find today.

We were in the area for the Gluten Free Expo at Sydney Olympic Park and decided to grab a few caches in the area afterwards. It was a lovely sunny Saturday.
We parked nearby and soon had the cache in hand. A dog wasn't too happy when we walked past his fence and he wanted to eat our faces off.

I came past here one time previously with geonanna but we had no luck. Nickstar69 found this very quickly in a spot we checked last time very thoroughly... I feel better now that I can cross this one off! TFTC!
Stopped in after work killing some time before picking up the Mrs. Good to be back in my old neighbourhood. Cheers!
Perfect day to jump on the bike and collect some more caches. This time it was the Strathfield area i wanted to learn about. Thank you for the series and showing me these parks. All the caches were in a fine condition when i found them. A few not hidden as well as they should have been. So a bit more foliage has been placed on top.
After finding the oldest cache in Australia we decided go searching for more old caches near Sydney to fill some empty spots on the "Finds by hidden month" chart on our profile.
Project-gc provided a handy overview of the caches needed to fill the empty places on the chart.
We picket 2 caches from this list to visit today.
After finding the first one we wanted to visit a few more geocaches before taking the train to the next one.
As this one was the closed this was our next target.
C. has been here a couple of days ago, but could not find the cache then.
Today W. found it within 30 seconds in a spot were C. had looked before.
The first reaction was that someone else was logging the cache when C. was searching for it. But there were no logs for that day, so C. has have overlooked it. Normally W. is the one overlooking caches.
Thanks for this one

A small bit of confusion as we approached GZ - there's a house there! Then we realised we had to go via the main road and quickly had CIH.

A quick find once we got to the right spot. TFTC

It was an unusual hide here, but I liked it. Watch out for cyclist coming around the wall at speed, it can be a bit dicey. TFTC gullightly
A simple find while avoiding cyclists in the area. The neighborhood guard dog kept a watchful eye on me on route to GZ. TFTC
A quick caching trip to finish off a nearby series started a few days ago. Found with geo-folks - clanmacfogies.

Thanks for showing me this area with so many parks and green spaces. It was a very hot day but pleasant looking for most caches. I tried for 15 but only found 11. Might need help with the others. TFTC
Great day out for caching and enjoyed this area with skyejam Thanks for organised the cache here
Had to check a few places but then got it. Thanx.

Out today in this area. Caught the train down and walked around the area. I got 16 of the 20 I had planned on doing. Got to gz and was about to go in and a postman walks up the lane. Almost scared me waited for them to past then made a quick find. Being a shorty I had to use a tree to jump on to grab the cache TFTC
On the way back from a cache series in Strathfield, decided to pick up a few more on the way home.
Boy, Centennial Drive is noisey!

I think we approached this from the wrong angle, suddenly a motorway appeared. No way I thought, but then we popped around the corner, a haven of peace after the traffic. What's that I asked himself, but I put my glasses on before I touched it!! Thanks for the cache.
Thank you for this cache, enjoyed finding this (:Thank you for this cache, enjoyed finding this (:
My morning meeting was postponed for two weeks so I had a couple of hours to spare before work commitments kicked in. I decided to head for this area and see how many of these (and a few other) caches I could find. I parked my car near here and wandered around on foot which was a very enjoyable walkabout. Poked my head around a few corners before I finally spotted the cache. TFTC, Biggles.
A quick find in a great lunch spot while riding the Cooks River Cycleway.

Couldn't find this one. I know it was hiding under our noses the whole time. Will try again in the future
We headed to this cache just as the sun was setting, hoping to squeeze in a few more finds before dinner. We parked nearby, dodged a few muggles and found the cache fairly quickly. A nice, yet concealed, hiding spot. TFTC, gullightly!
#343 missed it previously when I was in the area this time found with lachnic62 after the event at Olympic Park. Thanks for the cache. The log was full but we had a spare to fit in
A postie stopped right near the cache on his bike and just...sat there, doing nothing, for ages. I started to think he might have been a cacher but he left once I started looking around close to him. TFTC!
One of nine finds on this cool and pleasant day. I didn't realise this was such a well 'parked' are - really enjoyed it today. TFTC
another quickie that I couldnt help but find. So close but so far from the main road :p
We have set up camp at the Lane Cove Caravan Park, while our daughter is in hospital for a couple of weeks.
After visiting the Flemington Markets we then continued to find caches in the Bushes & Fields Series. We then picked up others close by. It felt like we got a tiki tour of the area.
Thanks for placing this cache gullightly

#396.... I always wondered if there was a cache in one of these 'gaps' and YES, yes there is! TFTC
This cache has been bugging me since I started caching last year. I drive down Centenary Drive often and this cache always appears on the map but as you can't get at it from Centenary Drive by car (no parking), I had to make a special trip to get the smiley on this one. The device was sending me backwards and forwards so I put it away and used my eyes. Got it! Cache is close to full. Thanks gullightly.
After having found the final Bushes and Fields cache, we took a slight detour as this cache was nearby. Another empty playground. Found the cache immediately, kind of disappointed that it was so easy ...
Managed to park quite close and made a quick find. It all depends on your perspective. TFTC.
Sure I've been past here many times but interesting from the other side of the fence. Geez the people that live near the corner should move to the country being that worried about security- that place is a fortress ! TFTC!
Last one of 8 finds for the day in the area. A quick walk through the park and had the cache fairly quickly once I checked the hint. An interesting little corner here near the main road, never seen a cache held on with a bandaid before! Thanks gullightly.
Yay easy find noisy here by highway someone else had just found it before me same day by log book
Thank goodness we ended our day with an easy find. Whew, now for the return train ride to our hotel and Glenbrook bright n early in the morning!
We had planned on ending our day with the Bushes and Fields caches, but after we got thrown the curved ball at Boden Reserve, we didn't want to end the day on a DNF. Thanks to Frank Zion, we didn't have to- TFTC
I found a bike at gz and thought the cache was hidden on it somewhere, hoping no one saw me thinking that I was trying to rip it off.
Not too much larger I looked away and found it.
Thanks for the cache.

We were on our way to the T20 cricket this evening, and had some time to stop by a couple of caches beforehand. As we approached GZ, we eyeballed two likely places where the cache could be, and found it at the second spot. A nice little park here.
Gratias gullightly.

After finding all the available "Bushes and Fields" caches in the immediate area we stopped by here before heading home. It's nicely hidden, you do need to be at the correct angle to spot it. Thanks gullightly.
We couldn't spot it at first but didn't think it could be near the busy road so we continued searching and suddenly saw it. It's quite a pleasant little park but a bit noisy. SL TFTC
A lovely afternoon walk to follow some of the caches in this Bushes and Fields series. Never knew there were so many little parks here. Muggle-free everywhere we went today. Took the long walk past ACU to reach GZ. Clever way to 'hide' this container. SL TFTC Cheers.. Gaztek
After finding the B&F series final, I drove to here and took in the hint and had a bit of an idea where to look for this cache and found it the first place I looked. TFTCM

The park nearby is where I would normally stop for a break when riding to Botany Bay, then I ride through these sound barrier walls to get to the other side of Strathfield and connect up to the Botany Bay bike track down the hill. This was an instant find. Thanks
TFTC,
Good to find another easy cache after completing #7 Isaac's Rest.
Visited a group of trackables.
