Had a reasonable look in all the hedges but no luck unfortunately. Wanted to give it a fav for the park

A day out caching with Oldmorty in the Fairfield area. After a good search and local kids who were geocachers who had found it recently, we came up with nothing. TFTC!
 
31-Oct-22
Out caching in the area today with morty8888. Not our best days foraging, seven finds and five dnf's.
Even had some youngsters who had found it a couple of weeks ago helping us.

Spotted it easily but struggled to reach it. Sustained battle injury, but retrieval was a success.
Unfortunately the log is soaked. Container needs a new seal, or to be replaced.

A few quick caches after the event in Mosman before heading home. And then decided to do a detour via Parramatta and still caching till dark! Still needs some TLC

Blundo Busters I found your cache Where The Streets Have No Name on 30/4/21, 1:55 pm. This is my find 3164 and find # 2 today. Once I got the right hedge it was a quick and easy find. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN
 
26-Mar-21
Hardest part was returning it to exactly the same spot, but I’m pretty sure I got there. First find in Cumberland LGA, thanks!!
 
04-Nov-20
Well this was a great hide, I only managed it because I was not even a little bit subtle. I can see how it could easily become very tricky.

Unfortunately the O ring is missing, which has caused a very damp log, which fell apart while I was signing it.

Tftc.
 
19-Jul-20
I wanted to find this cache last time I was in the area but there were way too many muggles so headed over early morning.

There were a few muggles taking a walk and even one doing yoga . We searched and searched but gave in and read the hint. Found it quickly and signed. Great camo realised we looked right at it when previously searching . Tftc

 
28-May-20
Getting back to geocaching after the lockdown I drove over to Holroyd Gardens for a walk for geodog and I and a couple of caches. Yikes, no dogs allowed in this park!
Luckily its cool today and the carpark was shady so I was able to leave my furbaby in the geomobile while I went in search of streets with no names.

What great cycling places these are for kids!
I've seen a few in my geocaching travels.

I followed the GPS and took note of the hint, and began my search. A family were playing nearby. I ignored them and kept looking. After a while they left, saying 'Did you drop something there, good luck finding it.'
I was beginning to think I wasn't going to find it, but finally did!

With lock down restrictions eased, it is time to get back to geocaching. For the occasion, I added a little bottle of hand sanitiser to my geocaching bag.

After visiting the brick factory, I walked to this small traffic garden; definitely a place where the streets have no name. A dad and son were kicking a ball right next to GZ, so I had to hang around a bit until they decided to leave.
With temporarily no muggles around, I then quickly checked the bushes and it was CIH.

07-Mar-20
With a little bit of time between drop off and pick up duties decided to try these two that I kept leaving each time I drove passed them on the M4 thinking one day I'll turn off here and have a look. Parked in the car park and spotted someone near my GZ so walked passed. To notice that she was looking at an app then at the hedges so came back and said looking for a cache. Found out she was a new cacher jahrm. After a little bit of a search slowly closing into 0m then I spotted the cache a bit hard to spot with sunnies on. I showed her where I spotted it to give her some ideas of what she can be looking for

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 Blunder Busters

No luck today ;-( Main reason was that we couldn't do a thoroughly as the nearby picknick tables was overcrowded with mugglers. We will be back!

**Total find count: 819**

A Friday off work, a beautiful sunny day, time to go on a geocaching adventure.

It is nice to avenge a DNF. This time of day is perfect, children are at/going to school, the muggles are preoccupied with their phones, and soon I spotted something that I hadn't found previously. Did the legals and replaced as found.

Wow a tricky little hide. Many muggles around and a playground to boot.

How do you do this without getting muggled, in the dark. Still a difficult on to find, but find we did and sign the log, replace it and on our way back to the motel.

Thanks for this tricky hide, Blundo Busters. Lil Donna

While EH was buying an icecream from the van I found the cache at 0m at GZ. Thought it might take awhile but spotted it from above in first place I looked. My lucky day. TFTC

Just after we pulled into the carpark , so did the icecream van, so refreshment time it was on this very hot summer afternoon. Cache was quickly found with accurate coords and helpful hint. TFTC Blundo Busters

My trip to Sydney was made more interesting as a beginning geocache searcher
 
13-Jul-18
Had business in nearby Granville that was broken up into stages and so I had half an hour to spare. Quite a few muggles present limited my search but also garden upkeep maintenance has taken place so not sure if I’ve missed the cache as it was originally intended. I shall return. L’chaim!
 
05-Jul-18
Muggled out so couldn’t really search. Lots of pruning has gone on here recently.

Had a DNF here in February 2015 but today it was just us and about 18 ravens and 2 ibises digging up the grass in the middle of the track. SL TFTC Cheers... Gaztek

Quite a few other decoy caches hidden in the greenery eg. drink bottles, ball, wheel off some toy, bubble blowing toy.

And real cache has good camouflage.

Sunday morning an the place was busy. Hunted the green but no find today.
 
05-Nov-17
This was a relatively quick find but I did have to wait out the muggle kids scootering around to search. I’m writing this log with the cache in my hand waiting again for them to move on from the track so I can put it back. Certainly challenging. TFTC!

Today we headed out to Guildford for lunch with the inlaws, and also to visit the Andrews Communications store at Greystanes to purchase a new dual band 2m/70cm HAM radio antenna for our new geomobile. Stopped off on the way to collect a few caches at Holroyd Gardens (Holroyd), Central Gardens (Merrylands), and Bathurst Street Shops (Greystanes). This was the 1st of 5 finds for the day.

Our first cache stop was at the Holroyd Gardens, parking the geomobile in the park's parking area and then walking the short distance over to this one. Checked over the most obvious feature at GZ but, having found nothing cachewise, we checked the hint and then knew exactly where we should be looking. And it wasn't long before we uncovered the hide and had CIH. Signed the log sheet and then replaced as found. TFTC Blundo Busters.

First find for my partner. My GPS was not playing along today. Hes hooked now though so worth the extra effort. Cool cache!
 
27-Jul-17
It was a trip to the streets with no name with the geokids this morning. ??
After not finding this cache on our last visit, it was a surprisingly quick find today. Its a sneaky hide and I think I was lucky enough to spy it from the right angle this time.
Thanks for the cache Blundo Busters

Find #: 1,572
Companions: Geokid12 (with 6 and 10 nearby)
Muggles: A few playing very nearby
Weather: Lovely winter afternoon
Cache condition: Good

I took a day off to spend some time with the kids during the school holidays, and decided to take them down to Holryd to try out the bike park. After they had a ride they headed towards the playground, and while they were on their way I quickly looked for this cache. A group of kids were playing ball right next to GZ, but Geokid12 provided cover for me while I made the find. TNLNSL, thanks for the cache

My mission today was to clear a clump of caches on the western edge of my 20km from home radius.

I had no idea that this lovely park was here ! There were a few muggles enjoying the space but I think the cooler temperature kept most away.

I must admit to using the hint straight away for this find, even then it took me a while to spot it.

07-May-17
Alot of stealth required today as alot of muggles around on such a beautiful Sunny Sunday, but was still able to make the grab and sign before anyone noticed.
 
07-May-17
Found it easy enough. Tried to be as inconspicuous as possible due to the high muggle activity today. People everywhere! SL and moved on to the next cache.

TFTC. No one around today, so it was easy to get down and dirty for a quick find.
 
12-Feb-17
Had to head down this direction to perform some maintenance on a couple of my caches, so figured I would find a few in the area. The park was surprisingly empty given it had cooled down a lot since yesterday's horrendous conditions, with nobody using the track. Found after a short hunt. Thanks Blundo Busters.
 
23-Jan-17
Came out in the early morning for a walk and decided to stop by here. Turned out to be the only cache I found this visit but it was worth it- I've never seen such a curious feature anywhere like it. TFTC
 
20-Dec-16
After a lot of awkward searching and looking around. Got there. Steaming hot out here today. TFTC!
 
26-Nov-16
Song dedication made sense as I finally found a close entrance to GZ (car gps initially took me to a street literally with no name!) but luckily the beating sun kept muggles to a minimum and I could concentrate on the adamant arrow of the handheld in between their laps. After a few laps myself of the clue, eventually spotted cache at the right angle.
 
26-Oct-16
What a beautiful park! Driven from the crazy traffic out this direction. TFTC

Today was a beautiful day to go out and do some caching with Phantom Cyclist. Mugggle kids were far enough away to not be a problem. Goingplaces2 looked in the area of the hide and overlooked the disguised container. Phantom Cyclist checked the same place and spotted what was wanted. Log was signed, all returned and muggle kids played on. Thank you to Blundo Busters for a nicely disguised cache.
 
18-Oct-16
Went out with goingplaces2 to find a few caches. Had no problems in finding this cache. We both signed the log and then replaced the cache as found. Thank you Blundo Busters for placing this cache.

Out at the park and thought we would check if there were any local caches. TFTC!

**Needing a cache for the day, to keep my streak alive, I headed north and grabbed this little one. I had to wait out, for 25min before a luncheon muggle moved away from GZ.**

Realising that if I find 30 more, I'll have a 1-a-day average for 2015, decided to go out on a cache-blitz (and set a PB of 30 in one day) today. This is 5th of 30 for the day.

There was a swarm of cycling-muggles and mugglettes at GZ. Combine that with the brigade of gardeners doing the round meant I had wait (do the, my bike seems to be having mechanical problems, act) almost 10 minutes before I could effect the grab and sign.

Glad to have another find. I even found a cache protector. Been back from a cruise for 5 days and found at least one cache each day. I have 37 days until my next cruise and hope to keep the streak going until I cruse again. TFTC.

#430 - Garmin eTrex 30

This was my only find for today. I have been wanting to find this cache for a while because it fills in a missing date in my dates hidden calendar. With some spare time in the morning, I set out to find this cache. I parked out on the road rather than parking in the carpark and made my way to GZ. I considered the hint and realised it might take awhile. Even with some muggles around, I started searching. I guess a young woman doesn't attract as much suspicious attention as an older male. I searched more visually and only used my hands to gently move some foliage for a better look. After inspecting several hedges, I finally spied the cache. It was a little tricky to undo but managed to sign the log. TFTC.

01-Mar-15
After not knowing this series existed last week to collecting 2 in a few days. Even at this time in the morning there were muggles about, and seeing someone with their head stuck in the bushes must look kinda odd to them. Took a few stabs at this one and had to fine tune the geosenses to make the find.
 
01-Mar-15
We looked in all the sensible spots and I was about to give in but then ziggiau emerged with the CIH.
 
27-Feb-15
We decided to have a Holroyd caching walk after work on Friday. Traffic from the city along Parramatta Road was heavy and we didn't arrive here until 630pm. We saw that the park closed at sunset. We had a brief unsuccessful look here and decided to hedge our bets, move on to our next stop and try to make it back before dusk. No such luck this evening. Loved the street with no name and very nice to see an urban park so well used. We'll come back another time. Cheers... Gaztek

#1478 (1 of 2 today)

Early morning caching after dropping Geoson #2 at the station so he can get to work. Then I can grab a cache or two before going to today's World Cup Cricket warm up match Pakistan v England.
[center]* * * END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION * * *[/center]

After the DNF at the still unfound M4 series pitt street I came here figuring that, unlike my last visit, there would be a dearth of muggles.

Almost right!

One muggle was on a bench about 25 metres away (and out of sight of GZ) and one workman very close with a view of GZ - who was more of a problem as he went back and forth to his van.

Luckily it was a quick find (using the hint) and I moved away to a nearby bench to complete signing duties.
Made sure to time the replace while the workman was nowhere to be seen.

Over the years, I've been to many U2 concerts and always love the order of songs which usually has my favorite U2 song (Bad) followed by my second favorite (Where the streets have no name). Anyway I arrived at GZ and notice lots of muggles about but that did stop the hunting for this cache. After a few minutes I took in the hint and kind of knew what to look for here and found the cache in the fourth place I looked. Thanks BB for another U2 cache.

Had a good look but too many muggles made it impossible to find this one today.

Tough little hide, plenty of muggles here at GZ. I really am not a stalker or a suspect as some muggles think as little kids were riding past. Did a bit of CITO within the hedges. Thanks BB

#2740- of the new casper73 caches I'd done today, I'd so far found 4 out of 4. But as I approached this one, which I had attempted some time ago, I felt my luck was about to change. Since I had been here, a good hint had been added, but the string of DNF's still didn't help my confidence. Today it was miraculous- no one in the park anywhere and I found it in the second lace I looked. I am sure I had looked there before, but perhaps not well enough.
This is one of my favourite U2 songs, having seen them in concert in Sydney the last time they were here. I guess not everyone holds that love of Bono- there was a bomb scare before the concert and we all had to be cleared, so it was a very late night. Thanks- glad to finally make this a smilie.

No luck for me today. The kids had a blast in the park though.
I'll try this another time when there are fewer muggles nearby.
 
27-Sep-14
Not having much luck today. Glad Mr Whippy came along. Loved watching the kids on their bikes and scooters going around the mini street. Dnf.
 
29-Aug-14
Finally after many visits. I'd searched the hide many times but after finding BB's "Horses" at Richmond and a "Trainspotter" amongst the bamboo near Epping I knew what to look for. Old bones hindered searching at the correct elevation for a full view of this cache but in the end the rusty "connector" was the giveaway.

It's merrylands for me today to discover and have my daily walk

Your cache is not easy to find, persistence and checking all possible objects made me find it, pew Wink
For me, the difficulty was more as I needed 20 min to have cih, nice one!
