Time to say goodbye to this one, shame it was repeatedly vandalized and the larger cache series never eventuated
TFTC, well it may not be the proper cache container but I found the log sheet with some swags in it, so it must be it. Did my duties and left it as it is..
macaw cupTFTC. Found it during a short walk through Penrith Park. Nice place to walk.
Needs maintenance, someone damaged it.

No trackable here. Went for a walk while starting at Nepean Shores, really nice walk TFTC
Caught a glimpse of something and sure enough, found the prize. Up from Canberra on family business and took the opportunity while the girls were sleeoing to walk this mighty river. Tftc!
Walked towards the area and low and behold was in the obvious spot. Tftc
Thanks for the tip from the people we met on the other side. Quick find by my friend. Dropped a TB. Tftc
Went down the wrong track at first, so coming back up the hill it was easy as I saw it from 10mtr away.
Thanks for the cache.
Thanks for the cache.
By now the light was beginning to fade. I always feel a bit cheated by the change from daylight saving in summer to "losing an hour" in winter. It just seems like the days are extraordinarily short, what with the sun setting around 5 pm now. Eeeekk!! It feels almost like in Europe during winter, except that it's not that cold here.
So, with the rest of the family waiting at the playground, I didn't have too much time to make the find, but I was enjoying the late afternoon and the low light. There were quite a few other people out on the track, too, enjoying the mild autumn evening.
The GPSr pointed me to a likely spot at the edge of the field, so I made my way over there, dreading an extended search in the dark bushes. However, I was rewarded with a rather easy find. I only had a few mosquitoes to contend with, so I made it quick to add my name and put things back as found. It's only now that I'm logging the find that I remember there was supposed to be a clue in the cache about some other final prize. Ahh well, I missed that. I'll see whether I can get back to this one sometime ...

Found whilst doing the bridge to bridge. Thanks for the cache. Put a small toy inside for the next kiddy.
Today I caught the train from Sydney's North Shore to Emu Plains, a one and a half hour trip, then I walked from the station down to the Nepean River, along the western bank across the bridge and back along the eastern bank and back to the station for the long ride home. It was quite a long walk!
Along the way I hunted out several geocaches.
This was the last find of the day.
Once near GZ the camo was obvious and a short search revealed the cache.
Signed the logbook, interesting date 18-9-18.
I couldn't see any clue in the cache.
TFTC # 2790, Streak day #301

We have travelled from Sydney’s Northern Beaches to Penrith for a short three day caching holiday, staying in a park cabin at the Gateway Lifestyle Nepean Shores Holiday Park, and planning on exploring the areas around Penrith, Regentville, Jamisontown, Emu Plains, Lapstone, and Glenbrook. Will also be keeping an eye out for our final Hidden Creature, the World Turtle, whilst out on the caching trail. This was our 29th find of the day, and 49th find of the holiday.
After a fun filled day of caching up at Glenbrook we had now returned to our nearby accommodation, then went for a riverside stroll through Tench Park for the two caches located there. After finding "Mulberry Memories" this was the next one we came to, our last cache for the day.
Arrived at GZ and, in the rapidly fading sunlight, soon uncovered the hide and had CIH. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found. TFTC rubymoon05.

Out on a chilly but sunny Sunday for a nice stroll along the River Walk. Nice to have this park and a cache acknowledging the interesting work and documentation of Watkin Tench. SL TFTC Cheers... Gaztek
Searched a while but came up with goods with geoMax in obvious spot eventually. Tftc.
Out caching with oldmorty.
Had to really search for this one. Found out in the open. TFTC rubymoon05

On our way home from a weekend in Blackheath, frazeydaze and I stopped off for a walk along the Nepean River and visit some caches. cache was out in the open so placed it in a spot that matched the hint. TFTC.
After searching what I thought was the obvious GZ location and coming up empty, I expanded a little further afield (further into the sticks) and the cache was laying out in the open. SL and returned as found - might need checking if cache creep has occurred. TFTC rubymoon! 
TFTC log is in questionable condition & the inside was full of dirt. but log was signed & cache put back
Found it pretty easy find. Definitely needs some maintenance. There was no log inside so not sure if this is a breach of etiquette but we signed a sheet of paper and left it in the cache as a log of sorts.
Tftc - Cache has been muggled. Found pieces and reassembled but it is wet. Rehid and placed camo on top.
Was completing a couple of GCA caches close by. So, a short drive to here on a Sunday morning to complete. Wow very busy here as many people go for their early morning walk. Approaching GZ could hear some rustling amongst the ground cover, so not much time spent in here. Log sheet is very FULL so found a smallish space – will need a new 1 - TFTC / TFTH / SL
