Targeting the high FP in the area so thought we would quickly grab this one too!
Torz spotted it from a mile away. Thanks for placing and maintaining these caches for us! TFTC.

Didn't take long to find this one. However, being vertically challenged proved a little tricky. Tftc
Started looking at a wrong structure then I expanded further and spotted it. Being vertical challenged was a challenge getting and putting this back. Got there though
Couldn’t find. Could’ve been due to it being 11:30pm or I’m just not looking in the right place
Found today on a nice little cache drive through prospect and the areas around our accomodation, Had an amazing time finding a bunch of cool caches in this area!

We ducked out for some quick caches before the waterslide park opened today, grabbing 4 after breakfast.
Another find for Samuel, he spotted it while I checked the GPS more carefully (again...).... TFTC!

easy find here. all is well with cache and log, TNLNSL. approached from a direction that made it difficult. my TOTT was strong calf muscles (i'm 5ft1)
Was searching something we thought matched the hint, but then widened our search and saw our quarry. Thanks for the cache!
Found It!
Looked on the wrong structure for a bit then paid attention to the GPS and soon spotted the cache.

Spotted it, but it was sitting right next to a possum living there so decided to leave the container and possum alone. TFTC

A sunny winter's day begs to go out and do some geocaching. So I loaded my little foldable bicycle in the car and drove to Pemulwuy for the powertrail and some of the other traditionals in the area.
Unfortunately quite a few caches have had DNF's for quite a while and clearly CO attention would be much needed.
Luckily there were some good finds as well, so all in all still a nice afternoon in an area of Sydney I have never visited before.
The second cache of the day and the cache was quickly spotted.

Very quick find. On my tiptoes it was feasible. Pity the toilet block seems out of commission. TFTC.
Tried to find, but couldn't locate, Thanks to last cacher who put it out of reach, Thanks Wifey!!!!
Came back with wife we brought a tradesman aid, to help me retrieve what my wife had lost!
Found with CastleKay, out braving the chilly wind. Luckily I had the geo kid with me to help with retrieval and soon had the cache in hand. TFTC!
After finding the nearby Prospect Road Side B&B i headed across the park to see if i could grab this one.
As it is school holidays there were a couple of kids out using the play equipment as i passed despite the chilly wind.
At the GZ i had a decent idea of where to search thanks to the good coords but due to its good area appropriate camo my first attempt accidentally pushed it away from me into a slightly more difficult spot.
Thanks.

A pretty straightforward find here. My GPS was bouncing around a bit so geo-senses sucessfully came into play. Thanks for the smiley contactpete.

Made quick work of this. I think the camo has deteriorated somewhat making it quite obvious.

Sometimes you are lucky and sometimes you are not. Spotted it immediately while I was contemplating what the hint meant. Not sure I get it but luckily I didn't need it. No one around today.

Was walking towards gz, looked up from my phone and saw it immediately. Lucky look! Good to find your first cache contact Pete!
Got it this time! After chasing the gps around for a while, eventually looked up to see it. Signed and returned. TFTC!
One of those easy ones that take ages to find, was thrown by gps and spent too long in wrong area looking too carefully. TFTC
Geocache No: 656
Time: 17:39
Condition: Good
Experience: This was our 4th Geocache for the day. We had stopped caching for a long time and decided we really wanted to get back to it and start hitting the find count that we really should be at.
We didn't come up with much of a disturbance and we replaced the cache as found.
Thank you for the cache.

This green box appeared on the GPS, and I wasn't sure whether I had logged it previously when I was in the area. Parked near GZ and wandered over to make a reasonably quick find.
As with all finds, I have a quick look through the log book to see some of the previous finders names. For some reason my name was on the paper log as a previous finder. Not sure how I missed this, but I'll claim it as found this time.

Another relatively quick find once I checked past logs for a clue as the hint had been putting me in the wrong direction. Nobody around in the park today, thanks contactpete.
Took us a little bit to find it, but we found it after about 5 minutes, tftc
Found with Coybear2000. We were in the area and made a short detour to get this one. There were some muggles using the park but we were hidden from them. We arrived at GZ and started searching. We took a look at the hint, but couldn't quite work it out. C looked at a few previous logs, which gave us a better hint, and we soon after had CIH. TFTC.
Heading off to getting plants, so this was a stop on the way with Trodectus. Parked near GZ and walked to co-ords. Started searching and soon was rewarded with CIH after reading a previous log. Log signed and returned. TFTC
Found whilst out cacheing with geofriends today. A quick easy find, nice camo. TFTC
A nice walk to get geoson to sleep while geohubby inspected the nearby TB hotel.

Located at 10:11pm. Clever little hide. Lovely breeze was blowing as I made this find. I think the difficulty rating suits if you don’t have the correct reach. For me it was a piece of cake Спасибо! תןדה! L’chaim! TFTC!
Parked in the nearby street and walked up towards GZ. The GPS gods were not perfectly sensible at first, possibly due to the heat, but we soon found the correct spot. Once there the cache was immediately spotted and retrieved. Not sure we agree with the difficulty rating of it.
Found after a short search, SL and replaced a little less in plain sight from where I found it.
Find: 433
4th of 12 finds for today

This was the second of two finds for today. After finding 'Home Sweet Home' I continued up the road towards this cache. I walked to GZ and started checking some spots but to no avail. I then looked at the hint and some previous logs but nothing stood out. After casually looking around, up and down, I spied the cache - but being so vertically challenged - this was going to be problematic. I looked around for some tools and after combining some items, I managed to retrieve the cache. After signing the log, I managed to replace the cache right near the original spot but in a spot I could reach. TFTC.

Nicely hidden wandered about for a bit then realised there is more to this structure than I saw when I approached, quick find after that TFTC

I had planned to come this way before Christmas but a family emergency meant that my initial excursion was cut short. This time, with MrSmash, dingoman007 and the geodog in tow, we made our way to the GZ on a super hot day. Thankfully, dingoman007 had the eyes for it and we had the CIH quickly. Thanks contactpete.
Came with most of Team MADZ (minus the A) to find a few Prospect caches. Sat in the shade while ziggiau did the signing duties.
Final stop for the day of caching in the western suburbs. I've seen some great spots and found some fun caches. This was my 11th find and no DNF, a successful day!
Fortunately I'd read some logs and came prepared for this one with geocaching aid #1 and soon had CIH, SL and visited soem TBs.
