Yep, it’s MIA.
I’ll see about replacing it or I might just archive.

Headed NW to Bella Vista area with Oldmorty on a beautiful day. Perfect caching weather. The last one for the day and unfortunately no luck. Checked every nook and cranny but came up empty handed. TFTC!

On a cooler Saturday, 2 of the AusPol team, OlMaLol and the geopup went for a bike ride along the bike trails near the creek and in Crestwood Reserve. Found a few caches, got a few AL points, and had a great afternoon. One very tired geopup waiting for dinner now!

This was a quick find but super cool and out of the ordinary! Thanks for the creativity!!
 
07-Jan-23
Cool cache, the more experienced OlMaLol noticed it quicker. Great clues, it all tied together.

Thanks

An 8-legged guardian objected to my presence - or was it planning to eat the 6-legged one nearby. Nice creativity. Thanks jmaxadventures.
 
27-Jan-22
Quick find, although slightly confused at first. Nicely attached by JMA. Log in good condition. Found a rock tucked away right near GZ - I wonder what the words etched on it mean?
 
23-Nov-21
All good and dry. TFTC!

Found by the Paredes/Palmer Cache Crew after a great clue!!!
 
03-Sep-21
Coordinates changed from:
S 33° 44.838 E 150° 58.320

Coordinates changed to:
S 33° 44.831 E 150° 58.328

Distance from original: 58.8 feet or 17.9 meters.

The original location has become overgrown with thorny plants. I wanted to find a safer and more accessible location.
 
03-Sep-21
All good to go again. This has been relocated to a more user friendly location about 18m from the original.
 
01-Sep-21
Awaiting owner maintenance.

Cute find! Wasn’t sure if we were meant to write anything as nothing attached or if it is just the bug...good location and fun find
 
24-Jul-21
Easy find
 
18-Jul-21
Blindly stuff my fingers in. Could feel the cache but it came out on a bit of string wrapped around my finger. Tftc

Clever cache! Found with #leonardi80
 
27-Dec-20
Out doing the nearby AL, and walked past this. No luck so off to the AL. Thought I'd check again and there it was, different angle and spotted it straight away. Very clever.

I saw a little rat ran out from this spot while I searched for a cache then found it. TFTH

TFTC, a cute find in the park

Couldnt find
 
30-Aug-20
Searched for quite awhile, but no bug could I spot Sad
 
09-Aug-20
First for the day. We have orienteered in this area before but never geocached so we will have time to look around. Loved this cache
 
31-Jul-20
Quick find between the muggles passing
 
17-Jul-20
TFTC. I had my eyes wide open for this one after hovering in one spot knowing it was there somewhere but where. Loved it. Spent a bit of tine looking at the Kookaburra. I’m visiting from the Hunter Valley.
 
27-Jun-20
This was a great hide! We unfortunately started looking around the private pole and busted meter box, but after reading a few comments from others we quickly gave that up.

We then looked at a couple of other obvious objects in the area, and then we saw the bug! Aha! From there we had cache in hand!!

First cache of our expedition today. We expected a huge wave of caches to be uploaded today due to lifting restrictions, but woke to no notifications. After waiting around for an hour or so, being ready to cache we left the house and headed out to the Crestwood area. Many of the caches seemed to have great amounts of favourite points (even though theres a fair few with DNF strings) Here we are...

We arrived at GZ and yes the trees do have thorns. After searching a couple likely objects, we landed on the right one. I discovered the "wrong end" of the cache and spoiled some of the fun. I loved the idea behind it though! We set it up so it would work for the next cacher. Signed log. TFTC jmax!!!

Not in the meter box! More natural location.

Haha, very clever. I was nervous at first, but a certain detail made me realise it had to be the cache
TFTC, and thanks for resurrecting it!

Went out on a family bike ride on this beautiful afternoon. Took us a while as we were looking in the wrong place. Geodad made a quick find once we started looking in the right place. Nice sneaky hide! TFTC!

Today I headed out to Dural, for the Amateur Radio NSW (HAM Radio) bi-monthly Trash & Treasure sale at Quarry Road, but I was also keen to target some high Favourite point awarded caches to boost our Cache Carnival points tally. Stopped for a few quick “park & grab” Traditionals on the way out, then after the T&T sale & BBQ it was over to Dural & Kenthurst for a few highly Favourited Multis, and then headed home via Baulkham Hills to target a cluster of highly Favourited caches in the Crestwood area, before finishing the day at North Rocks with Australia’s second oldest active geocache. This was the 10th of 20 finds, and 1 DNF, for the day.

Next was this one, parking the geomobile across the road in Boonal Street, then heading over to the "intersection of pathways" for a look. Checked in a few spots before spotting something interesting which, on closer inspection, resulted with the sneaky CIH. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found. TFTC jmaxadventures.

#673 - Fairly quick find with the geo-family, a brief moment of fear but I'll hopefully be ok. TFTC
 
24-Nov-18
Being in the area necessitated a quick find, which pretty much happened. This is where I ended my long walk and a bus ride later I was happy and hydrated. Thanks for the cache!
 
28-Oct-18
Tried to do this previously but DNF, but today we found it reasonably quickly. Tftc
 
28-Oct-18
Found it thanks to the hint and a previous log, so all in all, didn’t take too long. TFTC
 
05-Oct-18
Great hide. Took me me a while but I found the cache.
 
16-Sep-18
Walked over today with the two unicorns, searched and searched without success.

Looked at a picture to get a feel for what we were going for, continued to search, then finally found it when were were about to give in. Well hidden.

Thanks for the cache!
 
24-Aug-18
What a difference a few years experience makes. I DNF'd this back in 2015. Today I had CIH within a few minutes, dodging nearby schoolkids. TFTC jmax!
 
17-Jul-18
How did I miss it last time!!! so easy once I found it!!! TFTC
 
27-Apr-18
Did this one at night- talk about a great challenge! Loved the cache! TFTC

Tftc - easy find
 
03-Apr-18
Heading home after the Lake Macquarie Mega, broke up my trip halfway at my cousin’s overnight (needed the break after 4 hours crawling in holiday Monday traffic that normally should have taken 90 minutes) and ticked off a few more caches to round out my six-day tally to an even number. Had done the original Bug a few years ago so did help to know what I was looking for though slightly different placement from memory.

Tricky one this tool some time

Plenty of muggle activity. The clue and previous logs helped up out with this. Clever hide. TFTC.
 
30-Jan-18
On my way home from work I thought I’d stop and grab a few caches in the area.
After a scout of the area and looking at a few possible hidey holes, I soon had CIH. SL TNLN

I’ve had a hiatus from caching and just getting back into it again and needing to get my logs up to date.

Find: 554
4th of 5 finds for today
Cache condition: Good condition
Logbook/sheet: Log is more than 50% full

TFTC????

Appreciated the description and hint. TFTC!

GPS coordinates eventually fixed itself to lead us to the right direction after a series of misleading Coordinates. TFTC

A short walk in the Crestwood Reserve with the geodog, picking up a few caches on the way.
This first one got us puzzled for a bit. As most trees had thorns there was only one possible tree. But only after spotting something interesting could we pull out the cache. Unfortunately while doing that, the rope snapped and I was not able to repair it properly. Apologies for that! I hope the next finder has not problem getting the cache out of its hiding.

Took a little bit of searching a few options before the camo hiding the cache was spotted and the container found. Bit of a bugger getting it out, but managed it in the end. Signed and popped back into it's hidey hole. Thanks jmaxadventures.

Fun little find!

It's alive! No it's not!
 
30-Jun-17
Container and log book replaced. Good to go.
 
Another one found by SMS while I was looking in all the wrong places We were quite amazed at just how much water was actually inside the cache! Haha - unfortunately it wasn't able to be signed but we have footage of the cache of needed - thanks for placing

We headed off around this beautiful parkland grabbing a few caches.

I located this one after a short search. Cache was totally FULL of water. Log unsignable, needs maintenance big time.

Tried this one again but so many muggles early Sunday morning. Had a good look around. Noticed the meter box is unlocked. Hoping the cache is not therein. Might be a help request.

To hard with so many duggles and muggles on a Sunday morning.
 
24-Apr-17
A nice quick find. There were a few muggles around so we had to use stealth. TFTC
