Met a beautiful orb weaver on the way to GZ. Nice good sized container that was found easily enough, I was very glad to be up to date on my tetanus shots when I grabbed it. Although it proved too rusted shut for me to open. Photo sent to CO for proof. TFTC

Out in the area today and decided to collect this cache on our way to visit a friend. We parked up and then headed down the path to find this one. We found GZ without too many difficulties and then started our search... or should I say thought about starting when my son called out "Found it".The container for this one has seen better days. The lid was not secured on it and part of the "surprise" was on the ground nearby. We spent a little be of time checking the surrounding area to ensure that all the parts were in the container. We signed the log, secured the lid the best we could and replaced it in the hiding spot. TFTC and the fun adventure.

Public holidays are for geocaching, so I headed out with MrsCowell and we stopped by this one today.

Ground zero was home to more medium-sized skinks than I've ever seen in one place before. These guys n gals were about halfway between the tiny, 10cm-long skinks that are usually everywhere in Sydney, and a fully-grown blue tongue, but mostly resembled the former. I saw at least six individuals and heard others darting away through the bush.

After taking a few photos of our fascinating native fauna, I returned to the task at hand and soon had the cache in hand. I was impressed by the number of trinkets in the container, and everything was in good nick - except the cache container itself, which is certainly getting more delicate over time, but hasn't quite disintegrated yet.

TFTC Bigkevgg!

Hmm, I've been to a Fisher's Ghost Festival.
It was a long time ago and not really my thing, but Geocaching is and being as I was down here I decided to stop for this cache.

It was a quick find but getting the container open was not quick. Gently I prised the lid off. There really isn't a log book or sheet just a piece of someone's scrap paper but I signed that then replaced the lid carefully so maybe the next cacher has an easier time.

I think the surprise has broken but I have an idea what it would have been. Enjoyed the peaceful GZ here. Grabbed this one after getting lunch at the nearby shopping centre.
I came out to this area today for a change of pace, trying to stay away from crowds and people as much as possible and these caches were perfect for that. Thanks for this one, it was an easy find TFTC
 
03-Dec-21
I’m not a local but was in the area and had a blank day on my caching calendar today so decided to try for this one. Was worried at my choice of footwear and the lack of scrambling ability but I got the find. Like others have said the tin is very rusty and definitely not watertight but after the last couple of hot days everything was dry today.
