Maintenance required. New magnetic box.

Located at 23:20pm. So I was pretty pumped after logging a D4.5/T4.5 earlier this evening and so much so that I forgot to buy some new toothbrushes, as you do. I quickly ducked out to buy them and decided to give this cache another whirl...and I found it...the magnet, that is, as has been referenced in previous logs...I placed a very small piece of temporary log paper under the magnet as any more and the magnet would not stick. I had signed myself off and was glad to have this logged as a find. Спасибо! תודה! L’chaim! TFTC!

TFTC but it needs replacing. No log just a magnet.

Found the magnet at GZ- see photo . This cache needs replacement.
TFTC

We found only the magnet. The cache isnt there

Nice find

Previously logged under team account BoogieRogue. Re-logging with my individual account. Quick find. TFTC

Quick find. TFTC

We have checked and replaced the log ready to go again. Good Luck and enjoy!

Well we found the magnet (on the structure) and we found the logs (on the ground - see photo)...

Happy mother's day xx needs a magnet so it can be hidden, and the log is wet

Found it

Found it earlier when looking but didn't think it was the cache. Took us 20 minutes to realise we had found it lol

Log wet, magnets gone. TFTC

Magnets have fallen off the cache holder & log is wet. Cache holder placed back but not in original location..TFTC

Nice trail didn't realize all the possibilities of the clue

Found it with League13, nice cache but the magnet has fallen off. Couldn't sign the log as I had no pen. TFTC

Nice one. Thank you

Wait 45mins for a train! No way, time for 2 caches. Thanks guys for 2 good caches close to Epping station.

Should have trusted my gut and geo instincts instead of following the compass arrow TFTC

On way home and stopped for a little search around the big book house. Good hint. TFTC.

Out to collect some smileys around Epping today. This was the fifth of six.

Looked in a lot of wrong places before something in one of the logs finally twigged. Got interrupted a few times by muggles from nearby housing walking past. Turns out I had done what the hint suggested.

TFTC

We were happy that no muggles were around when we came to visit and arrived at GZ area. The GPS wanted us in one place but geo sense kicked in when we looked around and investigation of that area proved fruitful, as the cache was soon in hand. Name was on log, all was replaced in position and we were soon on our way. Thank you to Crakers AJCL for placing this cache.

I love this local geocache it was a great place to hide it!

Found it. What a clever clue! TFTC

Found on a rainy day because I had some spare time before a training course at the station. Happy to nab two today-thank you!!

Needed this one to fill the last space on my geocaching calendar. Nice quick find on the way home from work. TFTC.

Great clue. TFTC. The Thomas team

I had a morning appointment in meadowbank today so decided to make the most of my trip home and grab a few smiley's along the way. Came along here and figured I knew what I was looking for, but I must have had a boy look because I missed it first time round, only after circling around doing the iPhone dance and distracting a suspicious muggle neighbour. and there is was, as was originally assumed. Thanks for the find!

Be careful not to step on it

Super easy find as we have come across similar ones recently.

Noice

Not keen on garden trampling, but found and checked twice the steel air-rater of the gurgle drain below. Also found the concrete sewer plate, but nothing else resembling a geocache.

I was in the area so went in search for this hide. Arriving at GZ, I spotted the obvious item where a cache might be hidden then discovered it in the second place I looked. Thanks Crackers_AJCL for the hide.

I had to attend a work meeting very near to here, so found this on the way.

Cheers

This one thwarted me a few times. First attempt was while I was walking home from the station and it was too busy, plenty of Muggles cutting through the area on their way home so couldn't stop. Second time Geoson and I completely missed it even though we'd looked in the correct spot (definitely a rookie mistake). Finally came back today, very quiet and found it in no time. SL TFTC.

Not sure about the accuracy of this GZ but eventually read the other records and expanded my search area then the find was made. Tftc tnln

Last year I started to fill my caching calendar. At that point I had already ticked off finds on nearly 2/3 of calendar days and this year I'm doing some of the remaining dates. Today was the other one I had still waiting for March.

Having just arrived in the area for an interim accommodation, I decided to go on a late afternoon walk on Sunday to find my route to the train station. On that trip scouted also some caches so that signing the logs on the actual day would be straightforward.
Today after hopping off the train this hide beckoned. Knowing where to go, I shaked off any muggles going to their dwellings in the area, grabbed the container, stepped away, signed the log, and returned the container back. Easy as when you know the exact spot and movements required. [^]

Great to get a new log sheet and ziplock. All good here. TFTC, Crakers_AJCL!

Found it while out and about on a sunny Sunday with evangt. A nice quick find but was creeped out by a muggle nearby in the courtyard. TFTC

Have been here previously and been looking way off due to poor phone gps. Found with a solid hint from craziefour

Took a while but we got it. The log is too wet to sign. Thanx

Looked where I thought it would be but did not see it. Looked again and there it was. Could not sign the log as it was soaking wet. TFTC

First cache ever, after a failed attempt 6 months ago we did it!

17:47 I'm pleased to report that the log has since dried out, and is now merely a little dirty. Never thought about heading around the back of the library before today - thanks for bringing me here.

Last of 4 finds for the day. Parking is a pain around here even on a Sunday and had to go to the next street down. Once at GZ it was pretty obvious where it was likely to be and sure enough spotted it quick enough. What was surprising given the hide location was that the log was wet, I wonder how deep it must get here to get into the cache. Luckily I didn't need to unfold the logsheet to add my name as that might have been a problem with the risk of it tearing, but my pen at least decided to cooperate on the wet paper. Thanks Crakers_AJCL.

Geodaughter spotted this one. I looked there, going with the hint, but I didn't get the right angle. If you are two foot nothing, you can see it. Definitely needs a new dry log and a small ziplock bag. There was the tiniest dry spot where I put and A and a Z.

Geodad had a look, but was too tall to see properly. I spotted it. TFTC

Today I wanted to go to Macquarie Park, but the train didn't go there. That`s way I get out in Epping.
I went through Epping and sought and found some caches.
This cache I had to seek a while.
The Logbook is very wet.

Found. Log soaked unable to sign.

Unable to sign log soaked through

To wet to sign. Needs a new log page

Tftc, another early morning cache on the way to work. I had to sit and think about this one.

1st ever find, good day out with the family. took some time but got there in the end.

Took me quite some time due to a sudden influx of resident muggles just as I started searching, and the gps sending me around in circles. After searching in the same spot multiple times I finally discovered it! SL TFTC - good hide that had me frustrated enough to be delighted upon finding it

Found today with cache crow fields! Tftc.

Found today with Jungle explorers tftc

Found with jungle explorers. Tftc

A quick find after parking my car a walk away.
Thanks for the cache.

Found at 5:31pm.

I was out of the house for a little bit trying to notch up a couple of sneaky caches before the weekend was over and I had nothing to show for it.

There were two in particular in the Epping area that I have had my eye on for nearly a year but never got around to as they were almost TOO close and for some reason I tend to leave them for a long time.

'Book End' was my first find out of three in total for the day and it had me stumped for a while. I felt a bit uncomfortable being so close to some resident's units so it's just as well I didn't pursue a search down near the bedroom window below GZ. I had to refer back to the logs as well as the hint a couple of times after coming up empty-handed again and again.

Eventually I decided to use a tool which probably wasn't completely necessary but it meant I could do the job without getting my hands dirty. As it turns out I was on the money and I spotted the cache. I retrieved and signed the log after a lengthier than expected search.

Thanks for the cache Crakers_AJCL

How very clever the hint was. Took me a little moment but I found it. TFTC.

First cache found in quite a while and with an old friend. Pretty much knew where to look as soon as we turned up to the GZ even though it was dark. TFTC!

Quick find as it was all quite a GZ. Might be a bit trickier on a weekeday.

Woot! TFTC

Our mission today was to travel from the Northern Beaches to Glenhaven, to reach the cache "GC1V4QA Reserved"and therefore qualify for the T5 souvenir, but decided to pick up a few other caches on the way back home. This was the 5th find of the day.

Found a parking spot near the library entrance and walked around the back to GZ. We weren't confidant of a find, noting all of the recent DNF's, but started searching the most obvious spots on the most likely structure. And it wasn't long before we had CIH. TNLNSL. TFTC.

Don't be put off by all the DNF's - it IS there and waiting to be found.

Find #632

Didn't did not tread right on it! But we will not give up!

2nd attempt but DNF. Not giving up and will head back on the weekend. Lots of muggles about early morning

Our 2nd ever Geo and a DNF.

As soon as coordinates settled it was a quick find in the first spot we checked.

Being Mothers Day we knew we had to head out early if we had a chance to make a find for the day. This looked close and a bit of a park and grab so headed over. It was not until we parked that we updated the stored page in the phone to see two recent DNF's but a quick search in the obvious spot soon turned up the hide. The log was a touch damp but signable. We competed the signing duties and re hid. TFTC.

P

Sorry

Found it yay

Found mid-morning after working just around the corner. No one about GZ on a drizzly day although you never know who might be watching from the unit blocks. A myriad of pathways were available to get me back to the car. Many thanks Crakers AJCL

Quick and easy find on Easter Monday with not a muggle in sight. Sneaky hide. TFTC

Deserted on a Sunday morning

Tftc

Seen many hidden this way, before, found without a muggle in sight. Nice hide

Didn't walk on it

I LOVE reading!

Thought i was wrong for a second with the disguise =P

Thought i was wrong for a second by the container =P

Find #: 1,063
Companions: None
Muggles: A few
Weather: Muggy
Cache condition: Good

I was meeting the family for dinner at Pennant Hills, so took the Northern Line for a change. I left work a little bit early on a Friday evening so that I could find a few caches en-route, and chose Epping. I had tried this approach a while back, on a night when the heavens opened, forcing me to give up at the station entrance. I was ready for the same thing to happen again, with BoM putting out a severe thunderstorm warning, but luckily the rain held off.

Anyway, I got off at the station and walked the short distance to the library. There was a muggle near the side path, so I went the long way round, to nearly bump into a resident of the nearby complex. I waited for her to continue out of view, then started my search. I had an idea of a likely hide location, and through a methodical search soon had CIH, so signed and replaced then headed on my way.

TFTC

Searched thoroughly through GZ for almost an hour. DNF, will put this on my watch list to see if im actually not looking hard enough

I found it before catch train at epping station.

TFTC! SL!

Sneaky sneaky

nice one. found pretty quickly

Found with dinkyfish. Library was closed so able to park close and wander around without raising suspicions. TFTC

Out with chrissybunce to cover off this one. Found easily late in the day. Log book saturated and unable to sign. Took a photo as proof if needed. TFTC

TFTC log book wet

Walked the dog to here from Run Forest Run. Nice bit of exercise. Went around the back of the library and voila there it is. TFTC CrakersAJCL

#189. A fairly quick find - I liked the hint! Popped into the library afterwards once it had opened. It was nice to sit in the air-con for a bit as it was a hot one today! TFTC!

A quick find after I trod on it...

Took a long walk from Vimiera Road and were pretty hot by the time we a arrived at GZ. Fortunately the library was open and we walked inside, cooled off in the AC, filled our water bottle and proceeded to GZ refreshed. SL TFTC Cheers... Gaztek

I have been itching to get this cache for a number of weeks now since it was published.

While out on a fantastic walk with my 4 month old son i decided tonight was the night to find this one.


Checked the first obvious place though had no luck. extended the search wider and no luck. Resided in a PAF as we were starting to get eaten alive by Mozzies and Elijah wanted to get on the walk again.

With in minutes it was confirmed the first location i searched was right just didn't get the right angle.

Retrived the cache and made my indentation as G2012 which stands for Goughy2012.

TNLN TFTC

P.S i would recommend that one brings some insect repellent for the mozzies.

Walked over here from a nearby cache. Took a while to find this one, searched the garden and nearby areas before I sat down and read the logs and hints.

Had a more thorough search with no success. Finally realised it was actually in the very first place I had looked, I just needed to get in there more. I had been on top of it all along.

Interesting watching all of the birds nearby.

Thanks for the cache!

My GPS took me to the neighbours plants and I felt a bit awkward looking through them. I couldn't find it where my GPS sent me so I went rogue and started looking for a place someone would hide a cache. My instincts were right and I found it pretty quickly. TFTC

After buying lunch at Subway we noticed this walking distance away. I arrived first and wasted my time interpreting the clue one way. My youngest saw things differently. He was right!??

TFTC.
