Visiting the area to lunch with an old workmate. I am early as the trains are running so well, so had time for a little deviation to find this one. No pen with me so took pic. TFTC contactpete

Ran out of places to look for a cache that size!

Empty cache. We put a few sheets of paper inside to substitute for now.

Nice day for geocaching..! Found this one with Elf Azzid

Simple find although the lid is gone! Likewise no log paper. ECIH (empty one) with TBs Canadian Flag and Swiss Duck in tow.New cache would be desirable. Photo sent to CO contactpete as proof of my log.

Thank you

The GPS had me on the wrong side of the path, I noticed there has been some maintenance been done on the path and thought my have gone but I noticed another spot a cache could be and yes it was there. The lid was really hard to open because it’s really rusty.

Bro I spent like 30 mins there and couldn’t find it

Nice easy find TFTC had no pen as it was a spontaneous find

very easy to find. tftc

Looking for caches by public transport from Parramatta. Hopped a train out to Toongabbie and walked down here. The area has seen better days. Started looking where GZ was but then thought where would I hide it? And found promptly. Thanks for hiding this one.

Quiet Sunday noon...
Somehow the bag and log are still wet...
SL, TFTC

Checked every cvebist

Easy find on a chilly morning for mid December. Working in the area and needing to fill a calendar date. Read previous logs so brought a new log and bag to replace unusable old one. TFTC

Managed to write on log, but it needs replacing. TFTC

First find!

Very illuminating experience!!
TFTC!!

Easy find in a standard spot

Amazing find and the logbook was pretty full so I couldn’t fit my name, wrote it on the back. Loved it please make more

Spent too long looking on the fence then scrolled down for some clues! Thanks

TFTC - Nice easy find

Took longer than expected, but was in an obvious place after checking a few times!

beauty of a find. Took us a Lil bit of persistence

Was fun, It was bit hard to find after a rain. TFTC.

Central position

Quick find. Thanks

Didn’t take too long, cheers

Ocw oldmorty, first time in a long time. Quick park and grab
Thanks for the cache

Teamed up with marj01 for a days caching, our first outing in a while. The break from caching has sharpened marj01's senses as he was on fire today when it came to finding the hides. TFTC contacted.

Nice walk to GZ from the car. Found quickly, but just had to wait for some muggles to walk by, I m,ade the grab, great cache. TFTC Signed as The Shoes x3

Easy find, found fairly quickly. TFTC

A quick find by Little Shoes. Nice to get some unloved months. TFTC

After a visit to the local fang farrier I wandered over to this bike track to see what all the fuss was about.
I listened to the rumble of a passing train and then saw a likely spot.
The spot gave up the prize, I signed the log and replaced the prize to live another day.

Good one

Oh well. Can’t find them all I suppose.

Found it!

Needing to do a little bit of a walkabout, I found myself in Toongabbie, and as this one was nearby I decided to go ahead and grab this cache. The place is surprisingly tranquil, although I’d likely never be found here alone at night. Cache was found quite quickly, and after some wrangling (in a desperate attempt to get the log protector out before anyone came by) finally had the log in hand, and did the essentials. With the cache back in its hide, I proceeded southward, to see if I could nab another couple of containers some distance away.

Thanks for the cache!

#2483 came here early in the morning and a quick find was made took to one side as a walker was coming passed

With cache in hand we signed the log and replaced as found. Both the cache and log are in good condition. Thanks for bringing me to the area and thanks for placing the cache contactpete

Everything about this should have been straightforward but it wasn't.
Firstly I took a wrong turning at Windsor Road and it took 10 minutes to get back on the right route. Finally arrived at the chosen spot to leave the geomobile and walked towards GZ. Two muggles approached, one from each direction. They seemed to know each other so I had to stand around pretending to do various things, shoes, phone call, blow nose..... until they finallly parted company.
Then I made the quickest grab and log signing I could before anyone else came along.

There's a lot of different log sheets in the cache. Hope I signed the right one!

TFTC # 2985, Streak day #379

Haha! Found it after long time poking around at poles. I’m so bad a this. TFTC

TFTC! Had a little spider friend hanging out next to it. But a stick helped me out!

A quick find on way to work this morning.

Container good condition.
Log dry. Once I sorted out the multiple logs and rolled it up into a tight roll I found plenty of room to sign.

Beautiful location.
Tftc

We found it. Lauren

First find for the today.

The old ones found the first for the day

First one for the day TFTC

Found with bedlem2

Quick find.

Rummaged for 20 min with geokids but no success, even utilising hints of 'magnetic', 'low' and 8m away from gps point.

Quick find. Cheers!

Did a different path going home to 7hills and found this.. nice

Looked low

TB visit

Tftc- nice little walk! Never knew about this bike path!

Eventually had to have my geo-beepers on rather relying on the GPS. Eventually found, hooray. Many thanks to the CO contactpete for organising and maintaining this cache.

Found it in the first place I looked. Signed the log as a train rumbled past, and also a couple of posties on push bikes.

Quick and easy find

Quick find but had to wait till muggles cleared before making the grab and signing log.

Found after a short search. TFTC.

done

**The coordinates are slightly off, but misleading.** The actual cache is not terribly far from the listed coordinates, but they are misleading as there are many spots at the current coords.
The coordinates I got are: **S33 47.095 E150 57.056**

Found the cache after a thorough search. All dry and hiding spot is good. Tftc

Really having a bad run today

Loved walking the trail. TFTC

Left a ray of sunshine for next - oh the bindis if u come barefoot like me!

A bit of caching and business in the area today. Mrs A accompanied me to look for this one and we did a bit of searching as the GPSr was jumping around here. I took a broad view and saw that the hide could only be in a particular place. Found as Mrs A was continuing her search. TFTC contactpete.

Nice quick one here today, I spotted the likely hiding spot on approach and sure enough there it was. Only one city bound train passing while I was doing the signing duties. Nice easy one, thanks contactpete.

Nice quick & easy find after finding another cache nearby to earn the current GC Souvenir that's up for grabs! TFTC

The cache of the day, on my way to work. Arriving at GZ the cache was quickly found in the first location being searched.

Found . TFTC. Quick park and grab.

Tftc. Careful fingers haha.

In company with Trodectus. Quick park and grab. TFTC

Found with Coybear2000. We arrived at GZ and very soon had CIH, thanks to the hint. TFTC

Another one on the direction out here. Headed down the path and found a likely spot some 10m off the coords. Still it was a good spot and I was soon signing the log. Replaced as it was and took TB.

Thanks!

TFTC. Coords are not spot on. Look for an object other than the one you are standing at the given coordinates. Put in a clone TB. Please be careful with the TB I put in.

Team Omam from the Netherlands has only one aunt left. And as she will have her 100th birthday early February, we decided to join the birthday party. But …., she lives in Sydney Australia! An excellent opportunity for us to explore this continent once again and find Geocaches along the way. We will do a 3.5 weeks trip! At places where we will stay for a few days (Melbourne, Canberra, Sydney and Darwin), we will organize Meet and Greet events. We will try to find mainly caches with high favorite points, caches from 2000 and 2001, earth caches, webcam caches, virtuals and letter box hybrids.

Easy find

Parked nearby and walked to GZ. It was the second place I checked and just as I grabbed it, a muggle walked from around the corner. WHEW, close. I SL and replaced again. TFTC.

As others have mentioned it wasn't exactly at GZ so looked again at the most obvious place again there it was. Nice easy find really.

Thanks for a quick dusk cache.

Some days, you feel your eyes must be just painted on. I can't believe I missed this many times. Seriously easy cache, just not for me today. TFTC

Funny how the cache on the cycleway was found while on foot! TFTC. Thanx for a fun day of caching. Plenty left in the area for another visit.

Stopped by here after dropping geoson off at nearby friends place on a Sunday morning. Surprised at the number of muggles that walk along here in the 5 minutes I was here and had to wait a couple a minutes for a clear coast. Thanks Pete for the cache. The places geocaching takes you.
Cheers
