Searched for a good while. Could only find a lid to a mint tin. Not sure if looking in the wrong place or cache is MIA.

I am staying with friends and they decided we should head out on an adventure today to go to the pub and explore a new area. This meant walking past this cache, of course I couldn't walk right by without grabbing it.

Upon arriving at GZ I knew exactly where it should be and we soon had the cache in hand and the log signed. Then off for Schnitzel and beer. The cache is missing the lid. Thanks for the cache #906

Great hide. The lid is missing though. Not sure if that’s intentional...

#2224 i have come here before a long time ago but the GPSr didn't settle and no experience in cache hides meant for a DNF. This time spotted it in the first place I looked.

With cache in hand we signed the log and replaced as found. Both the cache and log are in good condition. Thanks for bringing me to the area and thanks for placing the cache Morley196

Nearby was a mum & dad duck with 8 little fluffy ducklings

#616 - Been meaning to grab this one for a while but always forget to stop in time. Tonight we were dropping the geo-kiddies off at a party on the other side of the fountain and saw that we were only 75m from it... TFTC

I recently arrived back home in Australia after a fantastic trip through parts of Europe where I found a total of 114 geocaches. Unfortunately, not all those finds counted towards the Hidden Creatures promotion. I was in need of another 21 finds to gain the final World Turtle souvenir so went for a hunt this afternoon. The cache was found without too much difficulty and the logbook signed. Thanks for placing this cache and adding to my global geocaching adventures.

*Maintenance Edit:
I don't normally maintain other cacher's hides but the logs in this one, as well as being full, were rather scrappy. I took the cache back to my car where I found some paper from a notebook and placed it in the cache. That should keep it going for a while. I hope the CO doesn't mind. Cheers!*

Interesting find! Hint didn’t make sense at first, then when I got to GZ, it made sense.
Log is full

TFTC!

A small tour of Sydney based between Mortdale and Bowen Mountain and Manly had me finding a few caches when I had a spare moment. This cache added to the fun of my visit. The fountain was pumping as was the highway. I did sweat a little but I have had counseling re guard rails.

Thanks to Morley196 and **clear skies** from TeamAstro. [^] Cache the planet!

Today we were going to the Wianamatta Nature Reserve and Wianamatta Regional Park. When they started subdividing the land there for residential use emus were found in the scrub, the last emus in the Sydney area. We didn't see any today.

On the way out very early this morning I detoured into the new subdivision on this side of Windsor Road where I parked the geomobile in Folkstone Terrace. I walked the short distance to La Fontaine and quickly had CIH. SL and visited some TBs. At this time in the morning there were huge gaps in the traffic, time on Windsor Road with not a vehicle in sight!!! I was surprised at the number of people walking along the road and near the fountain so early in the morning.
Maybe they were checking the fog this morning.

#169 found a similar one a year ago so I had a rough idea on what to look for, the hardest part was waiting for gaps in the traffic and standing around looking like a weirdo.
 
24-Sep-16
Finally found it after a second attempt... How did we miss this?!
 
24-Sep-16
Finally after2nd attempt, persistence paid off CIH and log signed.

Out for an afternoon of caching with the newly established Cambo98 and Mitch the snitch. Grabbed the ripsticks and scooters and headed out. Due to a bit of bad navigation on my part we found ourselves a lot farther down Old Windsor than we thought. However, we kept on and found the caches close by. Ripstick ride worth it too. Quick find. CLASSIC CACHE. TFTC
 
06-Aug-16
The hint was very smart. Did enjoy this traditional cache. TFTC

Nice one
 
03-Jan-16
Is it still here
 
02-Jan-16
I managed to park nearby, without following my GPSr, which would have taken me to Old Windsor Rd with no parking. So I walked the short distance to GZ, and then checked 2 spots, and the 2nd one came up trumps. I SL and replaced. TFTC.
 
27-Dec-15
Found it in the first place I suspected just had to look a little harder
 
15-Nov-15
No luck

Our first Geocache! How exciting! ☺️Starting a new tradition, a game we can play as family for the rest of our lives
 
04-Nov-15
Yep
 
01-Nov-15
Expected this one to be closer to its title inspiration but arrow adamant I try a stereotypical hide for a quick find. Being a really hot and sunny day, think I sustained some metal burns retrieving and replacing container.
 
18-Oct-15
Started looking in the wrong spot. Went on other side of path and Geo son found it. TFTC.
 
03-Oct-15
Too hot today to do anything more than park & grabs, my car said 37C!
Parked close, waited for a gap in the traffic then a quick grab. TFTC

A nice sunny day, so headed out to do some caching in a nearby suburb.
Parked close by, for a quick find. Log full, so added a new one.
Many thanks for placing this cache, Morley196, for us and others to find.
