Found the “rock” mentioned in previous entries (a rocky lump of concrete) well covered by leaf litter but no cache
I had a hunt around the area. The GPS originally had me in the middle of an open area, but after letting it settle, it pointed towards a specific tree and so the hunt began.
Without locating it, I read a few logs which suggested a rock. I think I found the rock mentioned by others, but no such luck with the cache itself.
Might be worth the CO having a look based on the past logs & the NM.

During my short stay at Sydney I found any caches.
Thank for this one.Logbook is totally wet!!
Many greetings from Czech Republic.

Located at 8:23pm. One of those caches I’ve always looked at on the map as I drive back and forth along the Cumberland Highway and decided to finally go for tonight. Logs were sodden so popped in an old receipt as a temporary log. Cache certainly needs some TLC. Спасибо! תודה! L’chaim! TFTC!
After having a job interview in paramatta (time for a career change!) It was time for a quick couple of caches to keep me occupied while i waited for peak hour traffic to slow down before my run home to goulburn.
There were two teenagers playing basketball nearby, but GZ is quite sheltered, so a quick find was taken without anyone looking on. TFTC.

After completing the new virtual in Parramatta Park, bikerbuddy & I decided to do a few more caches nearby before heading home. We were going after another one, but couldn't figure out convenient parking, so skipped it & came on to this one.
We read a previous log about jumping the fence, so we followed that advice and made an easy find. The cache was fully exposed, with the rock lying next to the container. We replaced it all as best we could.
The original log is completely soaked, but we managed to sign it. Then we noticed the new log sheet someone has added, and signed it too.
Thanks

We had been heading for another cache when we decided that the traffic and parking opportunities were just too awful, so we redirected to this one. Parking was easier here. We walked about a hundred metres back to a lane that took us behind the flats. A group of young men were playing basketball on the court across the canal, and another two on the court closer to this cache. The trees gave us privacy though, and after reading a previous log which suggested we should hop over the fence, we made an easy find. The cache was quite exposed, in fact, as the rock that we supposed was meant to cover it was laid next to it. The log book was wet and slimy but we managed to make a mark in it. We also signed the scroll sheet that someone has left and others have been signing to log the cache. Thanks
#3394 Carbon geobike quickly spotted the previous log clue. Very helpful. Many thanks to the CO "casper73" for establishing and maintaining this cache.
My mission today was to clear a clump of caches on the western edge of my 20km from home radius.
Hopped the fence and made the find in a deserted corner of this huge park

After having done some shopping in Wentworthville, we headed for this little park and its cache. The GPSr had us around close to the wooden fence, but we found no cache there. Expanding the search we saw a suspicious stone at the base of a tree, and after having jumped the fence the cache was soon in hand. Luckily there was a dry log to sign, since the rest of the cache was completely soaked.
Thanks to Deep 99 for the new log - the old log and the rest of the contents sure are saturated. I was in the area this afternoon for an appointment and was early (by a couple of hours!) and had an empty day on my caching calendar, so decided to try for this one. It was the end of the school day so lots of little muggles as I approached the park but none near GZ. I took the scenic route as I narrowed in and noticed a sign explaining this area of vegetation which was educational. I spotted the cache as I was jumping the fence. Signing duties sorted (in the new log, thanks again Deep 99), cache returned to its spot and off I went - back to the street I'd parked in which I frequented when I first moved to Sydney 16 years ago as a friend lived here!

After dropping wife at Westmead to visit her mother I chased down Missed It , then got clue for nearby Milestone series and while the rain held off found this. Cache is wet, I drained off as much as possible. Log book is damp but useable.
Rain is getting heavier so that's it for today.

Quick find, cache was full of water, I it dried out as best I could, but I didn't like hanging around as could be easily observed from nearby balconies. TNLNSL. TFTC.
Today was a beautiful day to go out and do some caching with Phantom Cyclist. The GPS clearly wanted us to hurdle the fence (which was done, but not very gracefully). While paying attention to tell tale cacher hiding material the cache was found and all was revealed. Thanks to casper73 for placing this cache in a place that was nice and quiet today.
Went out with goingplaces2 to find a few caches. With nobody around this cache was found quickly and easily in the second place that was checked. The log was signed and the cahe was replaced as found. Thank you casper73 for placing this cache.
Drop My dad off at Westmead Hospital for op to 6 hours ... Im go out for geocaching today....
Beautiful full sunny and bit hot...
Hide well... no trouble...
Thanks

Travelling between Penrith and Parramatta with JJCC on a cache run. Arriving at GZ a quick look revealed the cache in the second spot we searched...our sixth cache for the day.
With the cache safely in hand, we both signed the log before replacing everything as found. Container and log are in excellent condition.
Discovered the Happy Birthday Canberra 02 TB (now in the hands of JJCC).
The following TBs came through for the mileage - Bob geoMinion, Dave geoMinion, Evil geoMinion, Jerry geoMinion, Larry geoMinion, Stuart geoMinion, teamMerlin's 7 Deadly Ducks Tag (Lust), Vanlith The Youngling.

Nice little find...but I was looking for something "littler" until I read the details. Then it was just a matter of seeing the telltale pile of camo.
Nineteenth and last find of the day. Nice easy find after making the decision to be adventurous. TFTC #152
Nice quick find while detouring from the train for a burst of lunchbox hunting. Tftc tnln
Found this bitch. Years on survival and Nav training leads you to this cache between a rock and a hard place
Found the cache easily. On holidays with the geekiest. Picked up two trackables THHRGX and MMHHGC.
Coordinates lead to the middle of a field, we searched everywhere but couldn't find it. Needs hints on the description to help
Found a spot to park near the laneway and walked down circling around the preserved bush before heading in. Coords seemed to indicate the middle of the grass but I spotted a likely concealment from a distance and walked up to make the find. Signed and replaced.
Thanks!
Thanks!
I left a tb today and after replacing the cache and walking away had a mild panic attack on realising my car keys were no longer in my hand! Thankfully a Christmas miracle occurred, they were at GZ and not dropped elsewhere, otherwise I could've spent hours searching for them instead of heading off to find more caches!
Merry Christmas and TFTC!

This was the 3rd on for the afternoon. As I was reading the past logs I realised this one was big enough for swaps. So I return to the geobuggy and get a treasure from my glove box. I had to be careful the was a muggle playing basketball but really not taking any notice of me. I left a little trinket that I picked up in Fiji early this year and now I have a beautiful purple dinosaur. Now to head home people coming for tea. #36 in my 1st, 2 weeks. Can't think of much else.

This was the only find for today. I was in the area and decided to take a detour home via this cache. I have been wanting to find this cache for a while because it fills in a missing date in my dates hidden calendar. I managed to find parking just up from the park walkway and proceeded to follow the fence around GZ. I realised what I would need to do as the GPS wasn't getting any closer. I began to methodically search likely spots which could hide such a size container and soon had CIH. SLTNLN. TFTC.

While geohubbie was at Westmead having his broken elbow confirmed (wear a sling, don't move it too much and take painkillers), the geokids and I decided to go hunting.
Nice easy find for geoson number two and we left lots of new swapsies for the next lot of kiddies as it was looking rather bare.
Found it. Trouvé. 見つけた

Left a little something for whoever wants it. Someone else had found it a little earlier haha!
Quick find I a very busy park. The volleyballers nearby were far to occupied to take any notice of our search
First time geocaching & our first find with my geo cousin. We had my geokid with us & while my cousin & I were busy trying to track the cache with our gps like a couple of amateurs, geokid runs ahead and finds it. Needless to say we were all excited.
I'm not usually an outdoorsy person but I can definitely see this being my new addiction. Love it!

Picked up some lunch near our precious cache find and brought it to this park to enjoy. Once finished we headed to the GZ. Found a non-child-friendly item in the log bag which I removed.
Wasn't sure if I was allowed in this area but the coords said yes! Swapped swag, signed log and replaced.
#158 walked into the park thinking how was I going to get the cache as the GPS was showing somewhere near a guy playing basketball only to get to GZ and I couldn't see him. Found the cache and signed & left an Angry bird. Had a bit of a look in the area and an interesting plaque about the naming of the Ernie Quinn Village Green on the other side of the creek. on 11/9/1994. I have been to this park before but only down 1 end didn't realise there was so much in here. Thanks for bringing me further into this park
Easy find for us! Took less than 10mins and left something there as well 25.03.15
After a little hunt around I had CIH.
Maybe since I have been caching with Ris768 my geosense has gotten better.
Thats my excuse anyway...
Thank you, nice park, loud Indian music playing here right now.

A visit to Westmead was in order to visit a terminally ill friend, so arriving in the area I thought a couple of caches prior to visiting hours would be in order so at least I would have done something enjoyable today after working on a hot tin roof all morning. The cache was quickly located, then it was off to do the less pleasant duties at the hospital. A nice little spot, thanks casper73.
I was stuck at work due to the massive storm that hit, when there was the slightest break in the weather I made a run for my car. Now I was totally saturated and still needed to make my find for the day so I picked my closest traditional nearest to work. Straightforward find and I SL #1700 on streak day #881. As I was leaving the bush area a flashing light attracted my attention- how cool a flashy toilet but the light indicated it was closed. The channel was in flood and there was a constant array of sirens in the distance- it was an epic storm. Roads were flooded and it took me an hour 30 mins to get home. TFTC took TB
Hidden spot in an area that we often drive by. Cache was found after noticing the tell tale signs of placement. Log signed quickly as area felt quite exposed to muggles in nearby units.

Approach was easier from the M4 wenty trad, after again walking from station for another two Casper73 caches. I suspected the fence first but saw the tell tale signs of a hide from the fence, 5m away from where the arrow wanted me. Nice hide
