Nice to sit down and watch the world go by.tftc

Tftc - nice easy fond

We are on another short (three day) caching holiday in North Western Sydney, staying for two nights in a park cabin at the Ingenia Holidays Avina BIG4 Holiday Park at Vineyard. Planning on exploring the suburbs of Lalor Park, Kings Park, Marayong, Glenwood, The Ponds, Rouse Hill, Scheyville, Agnes Banks, Yarramundi, Hawkesbury Heights, and Castlereagh. Hoping to collect some more previously solved Mystery/Puzzle caches, complete some more Adventure Labs and SideTracked caches, and accumulate some more "units of fuel" for the "Cosmic Quest" souvenir challenge with a view to scoring the 100 point Ultra fuel souvenir. Our final day will have us going via Nurragingy Reserve at Doonside, for some more caching and a visit to the Nurragingy Miniature Railway, before taking the M7 & M2 Motorways back to home. Photos will be uploaded to logs on our return to home base.Today (day 3) we started the day with a ladder climb cache at Rouse Hill and then headed over to Nurragingy Reserve at Doonside for a visit to the Nurragingy Miniature Railway, followed by a nearby five stage Adventure Lab and associated AL Bonus cache, then a circuit walk around the northern end of Nurragingy Reserve between Richmond Road and the M7 Motorway. Ended our day with a previously solved Mystery/Puzzle cache and a Traditional cache in Melrose Park at Quakers Hill, before hopping onto the M7 Motorway and heading homeward. This was the 11th of 20 finds for the day (day 3), and 47th of 56 finds for the holiday.This one was next, on our circuit walk (clockwise) around the northern end of Nurragingy Reserve, and it took a bit longer to find than the previous one. We were initially searching the wrong hint item to no avail, but then refocused and soon had CIH. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found. While we were signing the log a friendly horse came over to say hello at the paddock fence. TFTC dkmacca.Find #7030

After work, lets run some innings over here in Western Sydney Parklands. An easy find here, inching my way towards a big milestone next week. Last of my fifteen geofinds today. TFTC dkmacca

Nice and easy find tftc

Nice

.

A quick find today tftc

I quickly spotted the cache once I arrived at the seat, thanks.

Nice quick find to end today's caching! Thanks for the trail, it's been fun and challenging. Will be coming back to finish off the rest later

#13632 10:30A Sunday driving running errands and picking up a few caches along the way.Revenge from a DNF 2 years ago. An easy find.TFTC

TFTCWas almost put off my the previous DNFs but thought I would give it a go anyway. Ended up finding it on the ground so hung back up in tree with matching camo where it looks like it fell from.

Had a second look here. No luck

Had a good look no sign of it, owner will need to check

Had a decent look. No sign of it.

Had to use the hint for this one as the GPS was way out

First guess wasn't quite right but found it fairly quick!

A quick find with the geokids CC and SNG. TNLN TFTC

Good hide

# 6120 decided to stop here on the way home from work. A quick find was made and made use of the item in the hint

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 dkmacca

DNF

I did find a lot of horses, but no cache.

Dnf

??

Came on a rainy day so not sure if we missed it but will be coming back

No luck unfortunately

All good

I'm currently living outside this LGA and can't maintain these Caches while in lockdown. I will enable once I can get back into the area for maintenance.
Cheers

DNF

Our one DNF if the day. GPS kept telling us to look at the electric fence. We spent a while looking there and at some other spots, but made no find today. Maybe next time. Thanks for the fun!

Great day of caching near the Hawkesbury River. Started in Ebenezer with the AL, unfortunately very unsuccessful as the location service on my phone was struggling and could not fix on the wp's I needed. Luckily I also made a good plan for other caches so the day turned out productive. Weather was really good, about 20 with a little breeze and nice and sunny. After finishing up in Windsor I had time left and went for a bike ride in this nice reserve!

OCW LycieSki. Got to hang out with some beautiful horses while searching! Tftc!

Found! OCW Camicles. TFTC

A big stretch for little Brew. Got it then had reach to get log out. Yes. Signed and replaced. TFTC

Happy Streaking RIS. OCW Brewmaker. TFTC dkmacca

2nd time around, Not quite sure How I missed it last time!!!

Passing through this afternoon with time on my hands, I diverted into this area when my geo-map suggested I could grab a few caches by doing so.

Thanks to good coords, I was able to spot the tell tale signs of a cache pretty quickly and soon had the bison in hand. All good here, except that the attachment device has given way.

Thanks for the smiley dkmacca. It's interesting that 6 years on from you hiding this tribute cache, ris768's streak is still ongoing.

???

Pretty sure was in right spot, but will need to come and try another day!

It was a camouflage one but we found it

All good

I need to assess any damage to this cache due to the recent flooding.
Cheers dkmacca

This was simple but hidden very well, easily missed when hidden correctly. TFTC.

Quickie TFTC

Easy find

It was where I thought it was.....just a bit hard to see TFTC

Found with whogang but late to log

quick find nice cow behave now

Found pretty quickly today TFTC

Quick little find. So many flies around today. Tftc

A bit tricky beware of cows.

1st try DNF, 2nd try too many muggles, 3rd try gotcha.TFTC

Out today for a few local ones that I missed or have gone down since I was out this way last. 1st for the day. TFTC

TFTC Nice easy find to start an afternoon of adventure.

Taking the lazy approach to this cache did not initially pay off but did show us the way and place it could be found. Look out for the pats!!

Nice. Tftc.

Nice one. Took a minute or two in the most logical spot once the GPS settled down. TFTC.

No luck today
Thanks anyway

Two years of streaking - amazing, and she's still going!

I managed 500 days then stopped, well just for one day so I didn't have to find a cache if life intervened. Now I'm onto a different type of streak where I can't do the same cache type two days in a row. That sent me out here to Western Sydney Parklands for today's type.

I've been here before but for a different hobby. Its a good area. I know the person who is responsible for keeping this corridor of land as parklands for Sydney, and for improving the facilities here.

The cache - well I was lucky there were no dog walking muggles or cycling ones while I was here. It took a while but I had no reason to think the co-ords were out so persisted with my chosen area and eventually the cache revealed itself.

Yes, its a goody!
I'll give it a favourite point.

TFTC # 3245

No find for us though geoniece was getting tired at this point so it wasn't a thorough search. We will be back one day to avenge all our DNFs!

Found it with BrodyT2010

TFTC with Pulloa. The bridge was flooded so hopefully won’t be an issue for others

found it

Filling in a bit of time before catching up with my cousin, noted this parkland GZ seemed a lot closer to the road than expected. Made a quick stop and, once a pram pushing muggle passed, dived in for the sneaky hide.

After finding this cache we got out our hiking stove and boiled the billy for a cuppa, before continuing with our cycle trip. TFTC

Geobiking day around Western Sydney Parklands. Thanks dkmacca for this amazing series. 18 founds and 4 DNF.

A quick found this one and a good place for our lunch !

Found at 14:43hrs. Have been here a number of times and just seemed to have cache blindness . This time though I stuck with it and located! I even touched the camo a few times before dismissing it as irrelevant . Finally can cross this one off! TFTC

First one for our family geocaching day today! Nice way to start!

Walked past this one a few times as the iPhone GPS jumped around but just let instinct take over and eventually had CIH. TFTC

School holiday caching with MR AWTYOW, the junior geo-gangsta and Dwight Shrute!

Nice little cache, great location to get out and about! TFTC

Cache nr 4 on this lovely Saturday. Sneaky hide. TFTC

A bit tricky but found fairly soon after arriving at GZ. Thanx

Time is ticking by and I still need 40+ finds before earning the last of the Hidden Creature souvenirs. Was originally planning to do the Richmond Rd trail but spotted this one and figured it would be a great day for a bike ride.

Just as I approached GZ, a muggle decided to take a seat and enjoy the beautiful day. Had a casual look and rode around nearby trying to wait him out. Unfortunately, I had more caches to find and didn't end up with enough time to return. Next time...

Found with Sensible Shoes and Shoes Junior. TFTC

Found with the other Shoes. Tricky!!

Yesss! Found in the dark on the way home from a great day out. tftc

Walked passed this one on my way in this morning as a muggle was sitting opposite where I wanted to search. On the way back from the horizontal tree however the coast was clear for a search. Found and made my mark in the log before replacing as found. tftc

Nice quick find tftc

I can't compete with Ris but at 122 cache streak days I can say it's a challenge to streak but some how it does get easier. Keep streak mate!
Tftc

A tricky little find, nice Camo

With this caching space race being irresistible (I tried. I really did) some dkmacca caches were on the cards (they have favourites galore). This one took us a bit longer to find than it should have thanks to a heap of natural camo

Tried to no avail. TFTC

Despite the predicted heat today, we made our way out to Western Sydney Parklands for a day of geocaching. We laughed at Ajslandscaping log of August 2017. But so true. Clever camo especially with the garden growing in. SL TFTC Cheers... Gaztek

Quick little cache on the way home from work. Slight detour from my standard route home, but wanted to continue my streak.

TFTC

Finally a cooler day and an opportunity to do some caching. I decided it was time to head west from the east to tackle the dkmacca caches in Western Sydney Parklands as I have been told his caches were very clever and unique. I managed to tackle sixteen caches and found seven. Unfortunately the ones I found were bisons and nanos so I am yet to see any of his unique caches.

After poking around unsuccessfully I retired to the nearby seat and reread some previous logs and one gave me the clue I needed. I'm glad I had a walking stick with me. TFTC dkmacca.

Our first visit to Western Sydney Parklands

iPhone bounced us around a bit here but one spot just felt right
