Orange Grove Castle Hill, New South Wales, Australia
By Rheneas on 01-Sep-14. Waypoint GC5BPGM

Gone.

Likely missing, will assess.

The walk to GZ was short from where I parked and when the GPS read zero there was a very likely place which I could reach, being tall, but nothing was there. After looking around in case the cache had fallen nearby, I decided to log a DNF because it has obviously not been there for a while according to logs.

Sevabo and I found the cache but we couldn’t reach it. So it will need to have a maintenance. TFTH

Yay found it with skyejam with helper. Can't reach the cache, skyejam sent u a photo. Hope you can retrieve it. Thanks for the cache.

But cannot get fingers in to log it has come loose from top holding it have a video view of it but that’s it needs maintenance

OCW Alephroom who had previously found this one but offered to escort me here for a quick find after dinner on a hide type we both really enjoy. Glad he was there because ‘high’ was too high for me! TFTC!

I left the geowife to do some shopping so headed to this hide. I suddenly remembered I didn't have a pen so called into the nearby IGA and bought a pack. I needn't have bothered as I found a perfectly good pencil in the cache. No problem. As a geocacher, you can never have enough pens! Arriving at GZ, I searched the obvious item. Finding nothing, I expanded my search slightly and soon uncovered the cache container. As others have noted, lots of bits of paper in this one. I found a spot to add my moniker. This one will need some maintenance to replace the log sooner rather than later. Thanks Rheneas for placing this hide.

Quick and easy park and grab hadn't even made it to the right side of the fence before mbyrne26 had CIH

Another day another cache! I like this challenge I’ve set myself! A cache a day for 2018. Nice easy find at 9:15pm. No one else around! Well except cargo147, my trusty geocaching companion SL TFTC took geocoin

18:45 Many logsheets here, all dry but getting full. Pencil is sharp. Got quite a shock when I pulled the cache out of its setting, and a spider and spider eggs spilled out!! That's pretty memorable, so I left trackable microcoin here!

Located at 9:57pm. Quick easy find even though several muggles were throwing out rubbish right around GZ.

Спасибо! תודה! L’chaim! TFTC!

20th Australian Cache found with Wystan. We're enjoying learning some history about the area as we visit from England. Having signed the log, we looked around to check for muggles and one came round the corner from the business next door to have his smoke; managed to replace it while he was concentrating on lighting up! Tftc

Found with Mrs Wystan on a visit to get my laptop fixed at the Apple store while over from the UK and working in Parramatta. Thanks.

We have seen a number of caches similar to this one so it was an easy find on a rainy afternoon.TFTC

Quite hard . Never would've found with out clue. Cheeky spot TFTC.

Found it and signed the log as EV and thanks for the cache and hunt

#6951 10:00It was when I looked at the geocache map around Castle Hill that I completely forgot to log this cache, which I found about 2 months ago.
It was an easy find!

Thanks for the cache!

Fairly quick find after a nice steak lunch! TFTC!

TFTC. A quick find with a stretch.

One of the closest to home needed to fill my calendar gap. Lane way deserted this afternoon. Quick find in the second spot I checked.
TFTC

Cool one. Was in the (rough) area collecting a puzzle final and wandered over back this way to grab a bit from across the street and then a bus ride back to Sydney. The logs and description were sufficiently intriguing - nicely done on the hide. Have found many of this kind before but your implementation was very solid and should hold up nicely. No oranges were harmed or collected during the retrieval. TFTC

Thanks for the great hide

Found it Thanks for the hide

Nice find but i may have seemed a bit dodgy to the people walking by

Easy find on the way to shops. Tftc

Just putting it out there. I wasn't breaking into the school hahaha some muggle walk pass when we were looking and he took his phone out so I hope he wasn't calling the cops hahaha! It's my 5 months old baby 1st geocache

Found with LovelyLadyLocks tonight after leaving the local cinemas after watching beauty and the beast. TFTC

After being taken to Gold Class by Pizza_Steve to watch Beauty and the Beast (loved it!) we spotted this cache nearby at around 11:45pm and we needed our cache of the day! Nice and easy find, although the security guard from the property next door showed up but he took no real notice of us, just checked the doors were locked and off he went. TFTC =)

Found after a nearby medical appointment. Actually found it in the first spot I looked!! One of my favourite kinds of caches. Thanks. First cache found in March on the last day of March!!

Stopped off on my way back home from the Amateur Radio NSW (HAM Radio) bi-monthly Trash & Treasure sale at Quarry Road Dural, to find this one. It had been a fun filled morning of HAM radio junk scrounging, and a nice BBQ lunch with lots of friendly chit chat, but now it was time to collect some more caches on the homeward journey. This was the 12th of 18 finds for the day.

After finding "And a Parsonage in a square tree!" this was my next stop. Parked the geomobile on Orange Grove (road), and then headed down Cutlack Walk (laneway) toward GZ. And, thanks to the nice accurate coords and a very familiar style of hide, it was a quick find. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found. TFTC Rheneas.

Find #1626

What a great hide and what a great find for my first one - TFTC

As I pulled in to a parking area near GZ there was a lot of Muggle activity and muggles waiting in cars to pick ppl up so stealth will need be needed to search for this. Fortunately the hiding spot presented itself quickly as the camo was not replaced properly. I moved to a quiet spot to complete signing duties. I replaced cache and camo correctly and heading off to the next cache.
T4TC??

Day 317 in our current streak had us to travel 21 k's as the crow flies to this cache. As the wether is hot, hot and humid, it was a need for a cache withere we didn't have to take a long walk. This one was perfect, just a short stroll from where we parked the geomobile and at GZ we had the whole area for ourselves. Another bonus was that the cahe was found in the second spot we checked;-) Signed the log and headed back to the AC in the car.

Last find -- fourth or four -- for the day while out on my mountain bike. I can see why it could be quite tricky to retrieve this cache at certain times of the day. Today, a lazy Saturday afternoon, there was nothing going on in this alley. Nobody seemed to be around, so it was easy to approach and have a good look.

Initially, I checked a structure that didn't reveal anything. Next, I tried the right type of location, but it wasn't the one I was after. Third attempt, and I had the cache in hand. It does help having found these types of hides on various occasions. Even so, a clever hide and nicely executed.

Concluded the signing duties and replaced everything as I had found it. Then it was off back home for a rest before preparing supper for the rest of the family.

We managed to park close and with a short walk arrived at GZ. Something attracted our attention and after a quick extraction had the log out ready for signing. TFTC.

Short hunt, quick find, after which all the muggles came out of the woodwork. Returned the cache once they had all gone

Tftc, easy grab during school holidays. Waited for a courier to drop off his package next door before reaching up to grab the cache.

TFTC! Just needs a new log.

Found it

Nice hiding spot. TFTC

In the neighbourhood for work and had a long break. Might as well sneak off from the colleagues and see what's what. Aha! A nice walk here with nary a muggle in sight. Clever one, Rheneas! SL TFTC Cheers... Gaztek

i was walking home then like a spark i suddenly remembered that there is a cache in the lane that i take regularly, very ingenuous hiding spot , if you weren't geocaching you would have no idea it was there.

Quick find while waiting for Mrs to turn up for dinner. TFTC

Found it!

Needs new log asap, as current one is unusable.

Hard cache

Great little hide! Nice quick & easy find on my way home from an appt out in Castle hill. TFTC

It was hard but me and my dad found it.

Great cache

Found it

Woohoo our first find after looking for three others.

Great hide. Luckily my little one was on my shoulders... Thanks for the cache

Quick find and grab. Don't get the terrain rating.

Quick and easy find. Think the terrain needs to be reevaluated.

Clever!

Kimita very cool cache TFTC

Nice hide. No muggles today.TFTC

A quick cache grab in a rainy day! Pretty easy to find with no muggles to be spotted. TFTC!!!

Yep for the tall!

Visiting Financial Planner and what a surprise cache right next door in laneway.
After reading hint and log was pleased muggle husband tall type was with me or I could not have retrieved this one.
Plastic bag has a rip. TFTC.

TFTC

Excellent find as team MAOW

Getting back into caching for like the third time since I started, oops! TFTC

#1 geocache!

What a way to start our journey!
The hints were perfect and again, lucky one of us was tall! Left a little bit of treasure behind!

Can't wait for #2!

Glad we had a tall person

Cache #2 for us. This one was Awesome. Thanks very much !!

No. 458

Was on my way home from seeing Star Wars Episode VII for the third time so thought I'd swing by this one first. Thankfully no-one was around. Nice hide in a cool spot! TFTC

I'd been in Australia for two weeks, and was staying with my brother (Sunnyparko) and his family nearby in Castle Hill. Needing a cache today to extend my streak I popped out for a hunt. I'd already found a few geocaches locally over the past few days, and so was starting to get the feel for the district. I carefully looked at lots of local options, to try and work out which would be the easiest to do as a cache and dash. Today Sydney was experiencing a "Big Wet" and there was no let up in the heavy rain all day. Parked the car below, and raced up the path. No problems with the ground zone and hide, I've seen quite a few of this style before. Got back to the car absolutely drenched, this attempt at a year long streak of daily caching may kill me. Replaced as found.

#399 Thank you very much for the geocache. Took nothing, left nothing, signed the log. Trackables dipped for mileage. [^]

36th day of current streak. 39th geocache in Australia.

3 Jan 2016. Our second find of the day! This one was a bit harder to find but we thought back to the clue of look up high and we found it ! My Geoboy was very happy !

Did this one ages ago and forgot to log it. Just realising now while looking for some nearby caches to kill time with the geogirlfriend

Was in the area with geoboyfriend (not a cacher - the importance of this statement will become known as you read on) for his niece's birthday lunch nearby, very nearby in fact - we parked less than 50m from the cache! It was actually geoboyfriend who told me there was a cache nearby, clearly my addiction is slipping, and what's with him checking out cache locations?! Anyway we wandered down the path and the iPhone wasn't playing well, we overshot the cache by some 30m before turning around and soon noticed a feature not quite sitting right, and sure enough CIH, log signed and all replaced quicker than it took to walk to GZ.

Nice hide! TFTC!

Great hiding place TFTC

Nice one a quick grab sign and back. In between muggles. TFTC

I was glad to find this one quickly, TFTC!

Easy find, quite high

Easy to find

After our shopping tour we searched this Cache.
Thanks
Team sissifalke

Crafty hide I always like these, lots of muggles this morning, TFTC!

Dropped of a child at the church nearby and walked to GZ. Easy find. TFTC.

Had time to kill while 2 children were having day surgery at nearby hospital. Walked here to GZ and saw a common hide. Didn't know there's a school next door. TFTCM
Cheers

Found it! Second photo was a bit of a giveaway but after rediscovering geocaching it was a good easy find

I've seen this kind of cache a few times before, but I still liked it. TFTC

TFTC

Nice hide

Nice and easy. Log sheet is almost full, might need some extra paper!

Nice quick find which makes cache number 5 on our 1 year wedding anniversary holiday. TFTC

Nice quick one. TFTC.

A reasonably quick find if you've found another like it in the area. But to the initiated, it's not so easy. But great spot! Found on a quiet weekend with the kids.

Driving through Castle Hill today, I saw a street sign and remembered there was a cache by the same name. Pulled into the street and headed off but realised it was pretty much peak-hour for muggles. When I arrived though, there was not a soul in sight, except for the cockatoo destroying an overhanging tree. "Marvelous" I thought, and set about checking likely spots. The second bore fruit. Thanks Rheneas.

Geoson found again after finding towers 2. A few muggles around though!

Found it

Nice work

This cache is right near the families best Thai food restaurant. I parked and walked down the path to GZ. Checked a few spots before reading some past logs. Then checked again and found the cache. SL and replaced. Nicely hidden out of sight. TFTC.

Had an appointment close by & was passing this to get back to my car, so did a quick detour. Thankfully the bushes hide you a bit from the school. Nice quick find this time. TFTC.

Nice & close to home. Found it.

6258 Caches Found

Rumbled down the thin black line again late this afternoon to attend the Bavaria meets Australia Event In downtown Dural. And also try to pick up a few caches along the way in the miserable and wet conditions. Thanks to all who made my evening memorable, Thanks for the adventure

Thanks for the great cache Rheneas(8D)

A quick find on an extremely hot day that no muggles were about.
Thanks for the cache.
