No find for over 1 year and no response from CO - is it time for this one to go ?
No finds since last August - certainly nothing since I previously visited. A cache check required here.
Had a good prod and poke but It wasn't there. looked on both J.Graham field and the run down tree part but still couldn't find anything [:(!]
Decided to travel down this way after dropping Geoson #2 off for work. Found six, and gathered information for two others.

Walked here from my find at DD#2.
Poked around the "obvious spots", even used a stick to check some, but nothing found.
After 20 minutes gave it up and went for my next target.

No parking in the surrounding streets so I parked in the visitors spot in the new terraces in West Botany St and walked across the park.
The only muggle was chipping golf balls. His well trained canine companion was quick to chase them and return them to him for more practice.
Cache was an easy find, a bit obvious really.
On walking back I got a good view of the terraces. They really are a great copy outside of the original historic ones. Wonder what they are like inside - traditional features or super modern?

Dashed up to this one and after a few minutes I spotted something. Did the necessary and returned the cache to its spot. I noticed a couple Sutherland Shire cachers had visited here today as well. TFTC Missblaze87.
21:39 a pile of camo has grown atop this non-waterproof cache. Log dry. No pencil. No swaps.
Streak day #199 - after our night out last night, my sister and I decided to crash at a friends place not too far away. We stopped for some breakfast nearby then I thought it would be a good idea to stop for a cache since I was outside of my normal caching area. Not wanting to make my sister wait too long I picked this cache because it looked like a nice park and grab. I pulled into the carpark and headed towards the GZ. My GPS was playing up, but I spotted a suspect spot quickly enough. I uncovered the cache and tried to log my find but my pen decided to die : / I went back to the car to grab another. Signed the log then wandered back to the GZ to put the cache back as I found it. I had to wait for a couple of muggles to walk past, but otherwise I was mostly out of sight of the nearby driving muggles and bushes separated this area from the soccer pitch, so it was easily rehidden. Cheers for a nice quick find. TFTC.
It was getting dark on our way back north, but we called in here anyway to a very sad and lonely little park. A torch was needed to get to GZ and it was very helpful in seeing the camouflage so we were soon logged and back into the traffic. Thanks to Missblaze for a good hide.
GPS battery died as I approached GZ but an instinctive glance soon had cache in hand about 10m out.
Found it . First intentional find (ive become a muggle but find them by accident occasionally) in many years.
Moved all the way from Kingsgrove to Rockdaie in our van as the house is being worked on and we had to vacate the place for a while. So with special geoson went for a walk. Quick find.

quickly, brought car to service and used the waiting to collect some caches in Banksia and Rockdale. Reserve was empty this morning, so easy and quick grab and go. TFTC
First stop on my ride from Rockdale Station down to Wooloomare and then back home to Connell's Point. Had us stumped for a little while ( ) but soon the cache was in hand. Unfortunately this was not the series attempted today, my primary goal was the Botany Bay By Bike and Sutherland Shire Cycleways, but I will come back and finish this one day ^_^

Was driving past on a quiet Saturday morning. So stopped by for the (quick) find.

after walking through a spiderweb hanging from an adjacent tree, I found the cache without too much trouble. I don't think this cache will last too long as it is in an easily muggle-able position .. but here's hoping! TFTC
Although my GPSr took me away from where I found it, it just had to be in the obvious spot.
Stopped off on my way back from the Airport Control Tower to grab this one. A quick find in a deserted & unloved park. TFTC.

Back in the area for the next 2 1/2 weeks teenager sitting.. So number 1 for my stay and a nice easy find. TFTC
26/1/15. 6:37 AM. Cache #2204. Streak day #218. 1st of 4 caches today; picking up new caches that have popped up around the city in recent weeks. After a long and thorough search of the tree that I thought was GZ (and disrupting a huntsman spider), I moved further afield to find it about 10m to the west. I thought this would be a good time to try "Rockdale Town Hall", seeing as I was in the area, so I headed there next. TFTC }:)
After a trip to the city, we thought we would pick up some caches on the way home. After locating the correct tree, Wazza9 soon had CIH. TFTC
TFTC,
On our way home and had some time to spare to grab a cache.
Took a wide circle to see where the pointer was going and still went to the wrong location first.
Visited trackables.

Lots of hidey holes but finally found it. The real challenge is folding the log back to fit into its plastic sleeve!
Took a detour on the way home to grab myself a FTF! I pass by here frequently on my runs so guess I have home court advantage. Could just squeeze in MsP initials before my pen failed and i poked a hole in the paper... (sorry!!) thanks Missblaze87 and RBK86, looking forward to the next 11!
