I think this one is gone.
However I was sitting there in the car reading the story in the description. I got out of the car (Saturday morning) and there near the bins was a man in a checkered shirt..... it turned out to be the maintenance worker cleaning on the weekend..... I should steer clear of ghost stories hehehe Smile

Came to this one with RangerD but we where concerned that accessing school property is technically trespassing.
 
16-Oct-16
No find for us on this one today
 
16-Oct-16
After reading the previous logs we are pretty sure where it should be but no cache to be found. Would appreciate a C O check on this one.

05 September 2016 12:18:10 OK I hate cut and paste logs so will try my best to add a little something different to each log I post. Code 1 and myself were out on our annual caching run weekend. So some of our logs read both names but to save room on micros and nano’s etc we used CJ1. Like most of our past trips a little homework was needed to work out a suitable location, route and to build lists and PQs, with this done and set we found our self’s in the Camden location. A great range of finds and styles were located with a great deal of questioning over some of the posted difficulties and terrains.
JABs.
 
04-Sep-16
Found on a weekend invasion of my old romping ground with JAB's.
It's crazy to see how much the area I grew up in has changed over the years.
The road was pretty busy while we looked for this one.
Hint was out by 180°

I have looked for this with a friend. It is no longer where it was and has not been found since September last year. The owner appears not to be caching any longer and has not responded to three needs maintenance logs.
 
26-Jul-16
Cache is there. Checked it on Sunday and replaced. Owner is still caching, one click of past finds would show that! Esp. Saturday 23/7... Look up Wink see my name? Damn. Got there b4u.

Like others before me over the past 12 months look high and low to no avail.
CO please do a cache check....

Not there Sad

Our only DNF today. I was in the area with Coybear2000 for an ANZAC Day service and as this one was nearby, we had a go. No luck. As we'd already found 3 and still had a couple more on our units we didn't spend too much time here. Maybe CO should check this one when next nearby?
 
25-Apr-16
Out with Trodectus, doing a few caches as in the area for ANZAC service. Got to GZ and thought we knew where it would be, but no luck. Tried a few other likely spots but no luck. As had other caches to do, we continued on and may retry at a later date.

Tried but failed. Sad

01-Aug-15
Nice little school. Think we did a full walking loop around it today while geocaching. This was a relatively quick find in a familiar hiding spot. Log book is completely full. Needs replacing. We squeezed our name in a tiny little space in the middle somewhere. TFTC. Looking forward to finding the rest of this series.

Log is full and needs replacement.

The geo-widow was having a girlie day in Penrith with her best friend today, so I came along for the ride and took the opportunity to do a caching run to Mulgoa and Warragamba. I arrived at this one just before school finished for the day and there were a few cars parked around GZ. I couldn't see anyone in them so dived in and quickly made the find before heading back to the car to extract and sign the log, which incidentally is quite full. It was only on my return trip that I saw a mum in the closest car .. I hope she was distracted and didn't see what I was up to! Thanks for the cache WunElle and for the smiley.
 
08-Jul-15
Super quick and easy. No extraction tool needed. No pen so took pic instead. Found with JGRimages.
 
08-Jul-15
Find with Malkia!
 
05-Jul-15
Had loads of fun finding this one. Need new paper to sign though
 
02-Jul-15
Nice walk round to the cache. Was easy to grab. Tftc Smile
 
My fingers grabbed this just fine where we found it and they're not particularly teeny! Lol. I spotted this one on the approach and again we found a completely full log with no room for the initials of the 5 cachers in our group. I have a pic to verify the find if the CO would like to see it at any time. TFTC!
 
02-Jul-15
Nice walk around the block, geo friend was tall enough to grab tftc

#1871 (10 of 25 today)

Well, it's the shortest day of the year. And I've been cooped up indoors for a lot of the previous four days. And it's been raining steadily the whole time. So what better antidote to both than to try to find the most caches I've managed to grab in a day - before the sunset ends.
The best target for this attempt is Mulgoa / Warragamba / Silverdale - the haunt of The Boos.
In the end, I succeeded with 25 finds (how people find a lot more than this in a day without a power trail or a Mega Event baffles me).
But I'm happy with the finds - the last as the last embers were fading from the clouds on the western horizon.
[center]END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION[/center]
Bypassed a traditional as I couldn't find a spot to stop and had a car on my tail. So ended up here.
Quick find in the logical spot. Took away to complete signing duties then back for the replace.

As I walked back to the car, the bell went for lunch, and the schoolkids poured out of their classrooms. Good timing by me, then.

Another full log.

#160 came back out to Warragamba to try for some more caches but another storm was coming up so cut my afternoon short. Between showers I went to a few spots but no real searches. This was the only one I found. Signed on the outside wrapper as there was no room to sign on the inside. Replaced as found

Found it and managed to retrieve it between muggles going by in cars. TFTC.

With a Saturday off work, it was time to join with Mr Hancock for a mighty day of caching, a total of 52 for me (a few less for him as he kindly waited whilst I redid a few he had already covered).

Nice quick find here.

What a spooky story! The nano was an easy find with SBMT doing the honours. Thanks for the cache WunElle.
 
03-Jan-15
Was in the area with Calypso62 and geoboyfriend for some new year caching. It didn't take long for us to find this one, although it was on its side and just sitting there, we replaced it at the same location however at a slightly different angle to ensure a secure fix. This was to be our final for the day until I realised I was sitting on 869 finds, and mentioned it would be great to finish the day on a round number, so couldn't we just get one more???
 
28-Dec-14
Back in the area for a few days visiting family so an afternoon to pick up some more smilies that have popped up since my last visit.
Trying out Geo Printer for the first time and it seems to work very well but I am having trouble getting the data into GSAK!
I just managed to grab this guy and that was all so with the log initialed then the problem to return but that went well so thanks for this cache.

I had no sooner completed cache duties today when a rather large guy in a checked shirt suddenly appeared from behind and scared the heck out of us. Toriaz went into a maidenly faint.

“Sorry,” he said, regarding her prostrate figure. I knelt over her and encouraged her back to wakefulness while the big guy raised her legs in the air.

“What are you doing?” I asked him.

“It gets the blood back to their brains,” he explained. “I’ve seen a lot of this kind of thing over the years.”

“Scare people a lot do you?” I meant to be harsh.

“I’m afraid so,” he admitted.

“Kind of haunting the place are you?”

“So it seems,” he said. “Could you give me a lift outta here?”

I turned to Toriaz, who was only just getting back to her feet. “What do you think?”

“About what?”

I motioned to where the man had been standing, but he wasn’t there.

“You don’t remember ….” I began. But she just looked at me blankly.

Later, driving down the road, when the police stopped us, their guns drawn, their faces horror-filled as they stared at the roof of our car, I felt my blood chill.

“Exit the car carefully,” the first officer said. We sprung from the car, caution cast aside with our mounting fear.

And then we saw it.

The nano, still clinging to our roof racks!

We read the cache notes as we walked towards this one & thought we might need to go back to the car for some tools. But they weren't necessary, bikerbuddy picked this one up instantly.

Thanks Smile

A quick find in the only spot it could be basically lol we had to hurry- with end of school fast approaching we needed to avoid the horde of parent muggles- we did as we were returning to the car the first started to arrive :-0 close call!

Found just before the parents started to arrive to collect the kids. Phew! That was close!

Quick find under cover of darkness on last day of school holidays. Cockatoos exploding from their roosts above. Doesn't seem to be magnetised? TFTC!

Quick find at 10:21pm on a Saturday. TFTC Smile
 
03-Jul-14
Cool morning but beautiful day, though I'd go and look for a few caches around Wallacia, Silverdale and Warragamba.

It being school holidays GZ was very quiet this morning but please choose your time carefully when looking for this cache, it could be very busy with muggles at certain times.

The coordinates are very good which made finding the cache no problem.

Signed the log (GM) and replaced for the next finder.

Tks ... WunElle ... GazMag

Found during a run around the area today with The Rats, steeba and Big Matt (also loosely known as The Gangsters).

This was a bit of a last hoorah for the group before The Rats and family head off on a lap around the continent and another terrific day of caching.

A quick stop and grab on a Sunday although I'm sure this could be a little more difficult on a school day.

Thanks WunElle for the cache.

[Blue]Our 8502nd overall find.

Found on a Lower Mountains / Western Sydney caching run with FarmerFrentzen, steeba and The Rats. No school today thank goodness and a quick find.

Thanks WunElle for the cache. [/Blue]
