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

Good hiding spot. Found it in easy amount of time. Out in the obvious but got to ur your brain. Log is full
#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

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!

Out with Trodectus. Parked nearby and walked to GZ, after short search had CIH. Log full, found spot to sign and returned log. TFTC
Found with Coybear2000. We were in the area, parked in a side street and walked to GZ. After a brief search, C had CIH. The log is full but we found a spot to leave our mark sideways. TFTC.

Our third find for the day. Nice and easy once we worked out where to look. Lovely walking/cycling path! TFTC!

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.

#3262 - Out on the carbon geobike for the arvo in great weather. First grab here with no ants or spiders, however it was well guarded. Many thanks to **Morley196** for establishing and maintaining this cache.
No. 745
I came by today to grab this one to continue the streak. I found it without any trouble, and signed and replaced as found. All in good order. Thanks for the cache Morley!

#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.
I was able to also find this cache during my cacher tour today.
Thank you

What a shame! There is a lovely water feature here, yet you hide the cache in there?!?!?!
Nice drive-by cache, found with Bluewattle and thanks for the good hide CO & TFTC
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

Cool find Geodad found this one don't be afraid to reach past the barriers awesome guys :):)
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.
Our first Geocache! How exciting! ☺️Starting a new tradition, a game we can play as family for the rest of our lives
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.
Started looking in the wrong spot. Went on other side of path and Geo son found it. TFTC.
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

Got another Morley one while Aussie was at school and my day had time to spare. Seen a few if these quick grab as traffic went whizzing by. Tftc SL
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.
