I trialed another cache before activating again however this one went missing too. As the nearby neighbour now parks his car and enters his property next to the GZ I've decided to archive this one. Thanks for playing.
It seems the local council workers have removed the cache yet again. Will replace with a different cache type soon.
Looked all around here for a good 10 minutes with no luck, Many of the stones making up the edging around the sign have been removed and rolled away. Our thanks anyway to jamescreer.
Had a good look around in between passing traffic and was unable to find anything. Looked like something had dug up and destroyed part of the garden edge!
Today's in such beautiful weather I took a tour from Wilberforce to Ebenezer and took the ferry across the Hawkesbury back to Tizzana Road. I was able to look at old buildings along the tracks, taking a nice busch walk to enjoy the beautiful view of the river.
This tour was very nice and I have enjoyed myself very much
Thank you

Out and about with Happy Uke today. We only managed one yesterday so we were looking to bag a few today.
Thanks!
Thanks!
Finalf29 and I had only managed to grab one cache yesterday (international geocaching day), due to family commitments...so we were determined to find a few on the way home today. We got five before tiredness took over and we just wanted to get home.
This was our third for the day. Pretty quick find once I looked down, as Finalf29 was looking up...next time look at hint. Thanks

#454 Twentieth first of twenty two finds on a day's caching around Sackville, Ebenezer and Wilberforce. Nice quick and easy find. TFTC
12.25pm. A quick find as it was open in plain view. Closed and covered now.
Thank you. David and Noeline.

#3171 (1 of 13 today) (Streak day 412)
Another milestone is coming up - do they never end. I've had an invitation to another cacher's milestone grab in the near future and I'm hoping to synchronise mine with that. But I'll need quite a few finds in the next few days.
And Sunday is the day of the week when I have the least finds - 40 less than the next least cached day - so what better than to combine the two and make a few grabs today. And I thought I'd go back to the lovely area around Ebenezer.
Left later than I'd have liked, so only got 13 before it got dark really quickly - occupational hazard in winter. One DNF to muck it all up, but overall a pleasant day in a picturesque area. Only problem was loss of network interfering with the phone app.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION##
Nice easy start. Parked over the road on the side street and walked to GZ for the immediate identfication of probable camo. The interior of the cache was a but damp - a popular theme today unfortunately.
Completed signing duties and replaced.

Nice quick park and grab. Good to see a decent sized container at such a location. SL TFTC
ANZAC Day and day number 2 for this EG-Q trail plus some nearby caches. It was a good caching session along with thereimer, karennicole and Blundo Buster Jnr.
Thereimer was able to drive to within 8 metres of this cache. This was a quick find by thereimer and BB Jnr.
Thanks for placing this cache and for maintaining it.

Found on a fun family caching adventure with thereimer, Blundo Blusters and Blundo Buster Jnr on Anzac Day. This was our second day exploring historic Ebenezer and the wonderful caches in the area. Blundo Busters and I spent some time working out the new compasses on the new app while thereimer found the cache. Thanks jamescreer.
Ebenezer trip part 2 with karennicole, blundobuster and BBJnr. Before getting back on the EGQ we stop by for this one. Nice quick find to get us going. TFTC.
With so much traffic, wilberforce was less then welcoming, but a quick find was made and now to get back out into the traffic.

This is the first geocache I ever found. I was so happy when I found it! This began our trip following the Hawkesbury!
Found open but empty, though the cache container was fine - returned to the GeoReindeer for new logsheet and ziplock. Signed replacement log and resealed cache. All good now. Thanks for the cache jamescreer
I believe this is the cache. Nothing inside it and it's full of water.. ? I poured it out and there is no log in sight :/
What a shame

Organised a few months ago, this weekend was going to be our chance to, drive the putty road and returning via Wisemans ferry.
We started out Friday night with a plan to camp somewhere along the way Friday night then wake up nice and early Saturday morning to hopefully get as many done as we could. Turned out my wife whom was my driver got rather sick and really needed to spend the night in her own bed. Mid-night we grabbed the tent and all of our gear, headed home to Blacktown. We had done these few first though.
TFTC.
Our road trip will be completed in the new year.

This one needs a check as ut appears to have gone missing....after reading previous logs i have little faith in this one being found
A easy and quick find but it was an unfortunately because the cache container has come off from the magnet which I only found this so you will need to get this maintenance. (Sorry for late logging)
Magnet had fallen off back of box and log was sopping wet, so added new log wrapped in plastic coin pouch and stuck magnet back to back of box.
Quick find at posted co-ords that matched clue however desperately needs maintenance. Log paper is soggy mush and magnet has come adrift. Couldn’t return securely so placed it at a different elevation (same co-ords) until CO can fix issues.
I headed down to Windsor for my weekly bowling comp an hour or so earlier than I needed to today in order to grab a few caches and therefore avoid having my leanest ever caching month. This was a pretty straightforward find pretty much where I expected it to be. Some water has got into the container and the log sheet was a little damp but I was able to find a drier bit on which to record my attendance. Thanks for the cache jamescreer and for the smiley.
We hit the Windsor markets in search of some gifts and then continued onto Wilberforce/Ebeneezer for an afternoon of caching in the beautiful winter sunshine. It turned into a personal history tour as we had connections with many of the locations we visited through our Rose family connections who came to Australia on the Bellona in 1793.
This was an apt first location for the afternoon and a quick find.

After attending the Hawkesbury Meet and Greet event at Tizzana Winery, a few caches find were in order. Geotooter found this one first and stood back which told me he had discovered it. It didn't take long before I found the container. It was quite chilly out today so we didn't spend too long signing the log. Thanks for the hide jamescreer.

Out today with the geomum and today we were on our way to the Hawkesbury Meet and greet event. On the way we thought we would grab a few caches on the way.
A quick drive by this one. Spotted the hiding spot straight away an quick sign and off to the next one. TFTC

# 3024- I was heading home and had taken a quick detour to H2O- this was another cache that I had somehow missed on the last trip out to the area. Too good to miss, I stopped the car, leaving the engine running. Unlike the lady one, it took a minute or so- at first I was looking too high. Ahh- there you are and I was off. Thanks

Tftc. Great little catch on way home from wilberforce. Look out for Spikey weeds with the black seeds that grab you
#203 Hurt my knee the night before & had to have x-rays done. Told to rest so came out to Wilberforce after lunch to try to find a few caches. Found this one with a blank log didn't sign as FTF but signed on the next line. Thanks for the cache
Cache replaced with more waterproofing. I'd been meaning to do it for a while, i'm surprised it lasted as long as it did.
