Armed nearby and walked up as I watched golfers teeing off. Quick find and sign then tore a hole in my top on the wire! Oh well. TFTC
Out caching with oldmorty.First find for the day.Thanks to The Booos for the cache
Have seriously started overthinking The Boooos hides. I hope I didnt break the sprinkler Found fairly quickly and a small walk back to where I parked. TFTC
We are on a short (three day) caching holiday in and around Camden, staying for two nights in a park cabin at the Poplar Tourist Park in Elderslie. Hoping to collect some previously solved Mystery/Puzzle caches, complete some Adventure Labs, and find as many different cache icon types as we can to go towards this month’s "Wheel of Challenges" souvenir chase. The homeward journey will be via Galston, where we have pre-booked tickets for the Sunday running of the Hornsby Model Engineers Galston Valley Model Railway. Photos will be uploaded to some (most) logs on our return to home base.
Today (day 1) we travelled out to Camden, going via the A3 Arterial and M5 Motorway, then took a short diversion along Bringelly Road for a Letterbox cache and a SideTracked cache, before following Camden Valley Way down to Camden. Stopped for some caches along Camden Valley Way, including a Virtual cache, before arriving at our accommodation in Elderslie. After checking in at the caravan park we drove into town and did a loop walk around the 2.3 kilometre Miss Llewella Davies Pioneer Walkway. This was the 6th of 22 finds for the day (day 1), and 6th find of the holiday.
After visiting the big fig tree on the hill, for it's Virtual cache and co-located Traditional cache, this one was our next cache stop. Parked the geomobile down at the start of the homestead's entry road, then walked back up to GZ, where the hide was quickly spotted and we soon had CIH. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found.

The letterbox is real … leave it alone.
(ditto the barbed wire along the top of the fence!)
Nicely hidden cache.

Parking was the hardest part. OCW Brewmaker on our way to Geochat at the Grid Event. TFTC The Booos
Despite the incredible humidity of the afternoon (still 30°C and a brief storm passed through twenty minutes ago) finding a cache nearby made me want more, so I dropped in to do this one too.
A little bit trickier than expected: there's no where to pull over close by (I ended up parking in the driveway to Gledswood) and no footpath at ground zero. Nor is there any reason for a pedestrian to be on the cache side of the intersection at all, making it hard to be inconspicuous!
Thankfully the cache was quick to find, and the garden tall enough to hide you while you crouch down to sign the log. Probably easier to stay hidden if you do this one at night.
TFTC!

Had to park in the entry drive, and walk back to the cache.
Not such a great thing on such a hot day but I managed to provide some amusement to passing drivers and golfers as I had my umbrella up.
Kept the sun which was nearly directly overhead off as I walked.
Checked the mail for the home owner then got down to finding the cache.

Day 21 of Whittlesea Road Trip and heading towards home on the north coast. Today we are travelling from Dapto to the Central Coast and attempting to find a cache in some of Sydney's outer LGAs. Thanks to all the COs for placing and maintaining caches for us to search for!
Out and about today travelling from Dapto to Central Coast. Main aim today was to gather caches in LGA's in the Illawarra area and in Sydney. Thank you to the CO's for placing the caches.
Found while out and about caching with WaywardWoman. A quick find. Signed log and returned as found. TFTC
Nice little hide after checking my shoelaces. Been a while since being here . Remember coming here for cellar door sampling and many barbecues in the 80s . Worth a golden paper clip. TFTC
We arrived at GZ easily but a bit of searching came up with nothing. We each searched separately but to no avail, however once we went at it together we quickly had CIH.
This one has been on my hit list for awhile, as when I had tried to grab it a few months back GZ was a construction zone and inaccessible. I bade my time and seeing that it had been found not too long ago I decided to head back there this evening. Boy, it's nearly unrecognisable here now! So much development! I thought for a moment there I was going to need to log a DNF! However a bit of persistent poking around finally produced the goods. Tftc!
Travelling along this road on a semi frequent occasion but never having a chance to make a stop for this grab until now. On a nightly geoventure with Mizcupcake and enjoying the drive in the geomobile. Finding a spot to park, we were going to make our way to another cache close by. Unfortunately it just started to rain which called that off for us, but grabbing this one was still on the list. Walking toward gz we figured out which side of the fence we needed to be on and started the search. This one didn't take long, Mizcupcake had CIH quickly. TFTC!
Foind with Littl3Vix on this chilly night. We were caught in the rain for this grab and luckily, just before leaving the rain stopped enough for us to run up to GZ. After the cars at the lights moved, we quickly dove down and were into the hunt. A systematic search resulted in a qyick find by me. Tftc!
Going on a bearhunt.....gonna find a Geocache!! Great little hiding spot. Left a coin we collected from a find at Waragamba Dam and took Batman for a drive.
A nice weekend away with fitzy_1965 where we glamped (motel) rather than camped!
Day two saw us caching around Watson Bay area and then off home again just as the rain arrived.
Quick find here today.

19,343. Found with minniek during Sydney caching weekend.
Heading home after a fun caching weekend in 2 areas in Sydney. We had time for a few more on the way home. This was a convenient stop for a quick find by minniek. Signed the log, replaced the cache, and then headed off to the next one.
Thanks The Booos !!

So excited. Found this one quite easy with my buddy geocache my daughter Kyliietftc
Felt long the bear hunt through the long wavy grass. Lucky it’s not summer to meet a snake
Today I teamed up again with marj01 for another day of caching, this time around the Narellan/Camden/Cobbity areas. We had a very enjoyable and adventurous day visiting the cache locations, finding a heap of hides but also a few DNF's along the way.
A quick find. TFTC.

T-Tech and I have come down from Brisbane for his niece's funeral The service and wake were held at the Homestead, which is a lovely spot. As we were heading home tonight, we stopped to grab this cache. The search was done by phone torch, and I was glad to make a quick find. TFTC, The Booos.
Update: now that I have caught up on my logging, this is my 10,100th find.

Down from Brisbane with IolantheK and other members of the family for the funeral of my niece
We diverted to do a couple of geocaches, one near where we were staying and the other at Gledswood Est where her memorial service, wake were held.
Both caches now hold special meaning [^]

Streak Day #2043 - Since we were out this way quite late we decided to stop by and do an after midnight cache. Was a quick find and now time for bed. TFTC
Having reflected on the demise of El Caballo Blanco moments earlier, we were pleased to see Gledswood still exists. llama_boy homed in on the camouflage for this cache very quickly.
Rassilon256 was mentioning how much this area had changed, so it seemed fitting that we should grab this cache! The upgraded Camden Valley Way is certainly different to what it used to be, but good to see that Gledswood is still in existence! TFTC
So last Saturday I signed Deep_99 up to a Boardgaming Convention to participate in the Australian Rummikub Championships. As payback, he signed me up to listen to a lecture on meterorites at the Australian Botanical Gardens. Found this late a night on the way home. SL #3646 on streak day #2202 TFTC

Nice spot here, although the turn around road is very busy during the day!
