Find #: 3,690Companions: NoneMuggles: Passing trafficWeather: Pleasant spring morningCache condition: GoodAfter the poor Whipped Pastor I continued on to here, where it didn't take too long to find the interesting printed container - TNLNSL TFTC
Great cache. Love the cleverness of the 3d printer. I do wonder what the passing motorist think when they see someone crouched behind the bushes!! Tftc
Nice and simple, just like a flat pack from "Unnamed Generic Swedish Furniture Store".TFTC
Today's find was a blend of precision and intuition. While the coordinates pointed us in a general direction, it was our tried-and-true caching sense that led us to the final spot, a good 6 meters from the initial mark. It's always intriguing when the hunt takes a twist like this, reminding us that geocaching is as much about the journey as it is about the destination. Kudos to the cache owner for the hide it was a rewarding discovery once we trusted our instincts and expanded our search radius. This kind of experience sharpens our geocaching skills and keeps the game ever-challenging and engaging. To future seekers, a word of advice: trust your gut, use your caching sense, and don't be afraid to wander a little from the beaten path. Sometimes, the treasure lies just a few steps beyond the expected. With this find logged and our spirits high, we're ready for the next geocaching adventure. May all cachers be blessed with keen instincts and rewarding finds. Onward and upward! Happy Caching!
Day 22 of my current streak which is day 20 of the current challenge thanks for providing a great cache, love the theme of this cache being off a spool at IKEA, especially like it when I find others using the 3D printer as well, down at IKEA doing the shopping and meeting up with friends thanks for the cache well done fav from me
It was a quick find with the hint and it is a cute little container. I didn’t go into ikea or Bunnings today. Thank goodness!!! TFTC
Waiting on an IKEA order so decided to pick up a few nearby random caches nearby. Nice piece of camo but Tricky to get out !

Had a pretty good search around. From recent previous logs, it could be missing.
Had a good poke around, used previous logs, wandered a few metres in every direction but could not find it
TFTC cache was out put it back where I guessed it should be. Found with Twinkletoes72
Found out in the open with a magnet missing. Returned it to where I imagined it should be hidden but it could probably use a repair and rehide.
Thanks!

Find #314
After a visit to my Swedish furniture maker of choice, I tried to find a nearby cache but sadly it was a DNF. Fortunately this lovely little cache came through with the goods. A perfect spot for it, I retrieved the container, but in attempting to shake the log out something came loose - not sure if it was in the container before, or shook loose form outside. In any case I put it in the container and replaced.TFTC.
Nice easy find as I walk up and down Richmond Rd cache hunting
Wasn't impressed with the two cockroach-like bugs that ran at me when I opened, they had obviously made it their home
{edited to add - not time travelling definitely a 2020 find}

TFTC. Found without a problem, tried to look as inconspicuous as I could. Stealth is a must for this one, even on a weekday. Mustered all my strength not to visit Ikea whilst here
Beautiful day for the geocaching trip and found it with skyejam. Thanks for leading us here.
#1699 Fourteenth of eighteen finds on day out exploring Marsden Park and surrounds. Nice quick find TFTC
Quick find with the voucher. I tried to entice him to go for some Swedish Meatballs at Yellow and Blue but he declined.
Left Port Macquarie heading south to the Mega event At Canberra.
Our 3rd stop on the way staying at the Richmond club.
After a breakfast at Ikea, hubby got on his bike & rodae along this trail stopping to look for the many caches.

Ahh, the joy of going to IKEA, Bunnings and CostCo on a Saturday. Luckily a few cache just outside the Marsden Park cheered me up and made my ordeal bearable.

Time: 19:40hrs
Completed this trail some months ago, however I missed this one at the time. Came back today and immediately spotted it. I don't understand how I didn't see it before, must have been a case of cache blindness.
Signed log - replaced as found. TFTC

Decided to go caching this way north today. Did not really check any weather and just left early. As I was already driving for an hour the radio was talking about 40+ temps, what did I get myself into? Still sticked to the plan, did a nice bike ride in sub 30 at that time and a nice breeze. As it really got hot I had shelter in my car and was able to do a lot of driveby's. Thanks for putting out all those caches!

Lots of easy ones today!
This marked the end of the trail, or at least the turn around and walk back towards the car point.
Feels like these businesses need some more local houses to be built.

In Marsden Park to walk the Richmond Road Cache Path. Gorgeous sunny day. We parked at Bunnings and headed south. Found the container which did not match the description. Then we looked up and the penny dropped —- or should we say the krona! SL TFTC Cheers... Gaztek
We parked in the Ikea carpark and cycled this path. 16km and 24 out of 25 caches. Good exercise for us seniors. TFTC
What a fun way to spend the last day of the school holidays with the kids. With the pushbikes and a mountain of enthusiasm we parked about half along this mini series before find the ones in a westerly direction first.
Peddling back into the headwind proved difficult but we eventually found all the ones to the east, before feasting on Macca's for lunch. Thanks for a fun series of caches that the Rats and mini rats enjoyed doing together.

Came out here with the Rats for a bit of fun on our bikes. While the skies were gloomy and the wind blew hard into our face, it didn't stop us finding this series of caches and earning a stop at Maccas and Starbucks.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Followed a sticker trail found 2nd attempt with fed up geodog and hungry geobabyand co.
Our 15th find on our family geocache day today!
We made this one way more complicated than it needed to be!!

Found by Mary & David at 1255. Walked back to this one after our coffee stop, and enjoyed a quick find. Two finds and a coffee from one parking spot is a great result. M was keen to go inside to see if there were things in stock not available in Melbourne, but the call of more caches won out. Our thanks to Morley196.

I received a reminder that I only had a week left to claim the final souvenir, so I hitched my biked onto the rack and headed out to Richmond Rd.
After parking at the hardware store, this was 22 of 22 of what would turn out to be a leisurely ride along the bike path. Having completed the northern branch of my journey, it was time to hit the last few caches to the south of where I parked. With the phone battery down to 1% at Green Space View 2, it was lucky that I had a quick look at the map as I needed to find the last 3 without the phone. Happy this one was in standard spot and in view of where I parked my car. Now to grab some lunch and head home, satisfied that the final souvenir was now collected.

Go the Swedes in the World Cup so a visit to their main industry is in order. An easy find in the end and one more for the tally.
A dark and foggy night, parked nearby and walked to get this one - like others I made this harder than it needed to be - TFTC Morley196, I really enjoyed it!
Night caching with AWTYOW, Brizzle 11 and Pitman Clan - lots of laughs and caches along the way! TFTC

We found the caches south of IKEA on a previous visit. This time, we brought our bikes with us and headed north and found all of the caches finishing up at Elara. We skipped this one at the start of the afternoon, but then we couldn't leave it out as we had now found all of the others along this stretch of Richmond Road. An easy 15th and final cache for the afternoon. TFTC!

Time to venture from the eastern beaches to check out the Richmond Road Cache Path
The last time I drove along Richmond Road it was only a single lane roadway with trees growing beside the road. I was gob smacked by the amount of development going on everywhere and the volume of constant traffic was unbelievable – where are all those trucks coming from or going to?
I started at the Squeaks Bridge cache and finished the day at the Elara cache, only because the traffic heading west was starting to build up. For most of the trail I was able to park in one of the small turnaround spots off Richmond Road and walk to two or three caches at each stop. I had a couple of dnf’s at Thebe and Green Space View 2 and somehow forgot about Green Space View all together. All in all a very enjoyable day out in the sunshine. Thanks for the caches and showing me this new part of the world Deep_99.

A great day for a bike ride in western Sydney with my granddaughter. Thanks to the COs for all the caches... and to those who helped maintain them.
We left early this morning to get as many caches as we could along this trail. Ended up getting just over 80 so it was a very good day. Thanks for all the caches.
After finding Master No More I moved the geomobile to the closest space to the entry of the business park, as I was going to walk from here along Richmond Road for my caching fix today.
I walked out onto the road and along to this cache. This is a busy intersection and I had to time my grab and replacement so the driving muggles were on the move.
Another easy find, signed the log and visited some TBs which I'm carrying for the walk.
They've done a good job of landscaping near this business complex.

Out with the gang collecting caches along Windsor and Richmond roads. It was a medium long pedal but a great day. Disappointingly we had to replace a few containers along the way but no biggie either since the effort should breath some life back into the trail. TFTC.
Out on a bicycle caching run with geobuddies along both the Richmond and Windsor Rd trails and also grabbing any other caches in-between.
Overall our day was a whooping 10hrs on the bikes and we all enjoyed every pedel of the way.
We found a total of 87 caches today so I apologise for my repeated logs,
Thanks to all the cache owners for providing us with a great day out.

The hardest part about this cache was working out the best place to park and then crossing the road. Found the cache in the first place looked. Signed log and returned as found. TFTC
