Couldn't search too obviously as there were workers across the road looking almost right at us. Did our best under the circumstances bot perhaps CO may need to check.
Pretty sure we found where its supposed to be but it looks like its no longer here. Could the CO please check
I'm back working in North Richmond and thought I'd do a loop around Wilberforce and Glossodia to grab some caches that I'd been looking at. Well, throughout the course of the morning I'd decided to back track back to the Putty Rd from Glossodia and widen the loop out to East Kurrajong, Kurmond and Back to to North Richmond.
I have just arrived from a DNF at Australiana Pioneer Village and was keen for the first find of the morning. I parked close by GZ and I had originally thought the hide was closer to the scout hall entrance but it was just my phone GPS jumping around. Once it settled it didn't take long to figure out where the cache was. With the CIH I too returned to the car to complete signing duties before returning the cache as found and moving onto Wood 10th just a few hundred meters away.
Find: 340
1 DNFs for today
1 of 16 finds today.
Cache/Log: Both in good condition.

Missed this one on my trip earlier in the week so nice to collect it while tracking down some nearby GCA caches.

Last one for the day as we still had a longish drive back to Castle Hill, and the sun was heading for the horizon.
There was nobody around when we arrived and I was able to park within less than ten metres of the hide. A quick look and I saw something that looked a bit like the carapace of a small turtle. It turned out to be a stone, but by then I had spotted something that looked suspicious and quickly had the cache in hand.
Signing duties were completed in the car so that my little lad could also have a look at the container. Then everything restored as I had found it, and time to head on home.

Found after attending the wonderful event at the winery.
Glad I found this one after the 2 DNFs in this series.

7/6/17. 1:14 PM. Cache #5088.
6th of 8 finds (& 4 DNFs) today - Freemans Reach, Wilberforce, Ebenezer.
Miserable wet day but I wanted a bunch, so brought the wet weather gear. Also hoping the cold & flu tablets keep my lurgie at bay while I'm out & about.
Still enjoying a break in the rain and after finding "A rose by... (etc).", I had 5 out of 6. Looking at the three Wood caches along Woodlands Ave, I thought if I could just get these three that'd do me for the day. So, planned to tackle Wood 1st, then 10th, then 9th...
I arrived here and guessed what the hint was alluding to. I soon saw some likely camo which revealed the cache! Signed, replaced. If only the other two had been this easy. TFTC.

Second of seven today after I drop son off in Windsor for scot canoeing adventure Came back today to redeem past DNF how did I miss it in the rush last time . Thanks SM for the placement cheers
Heading back from collecting a few new puzzle we detoured in to collect a few in this series along this stretch of road. No problems making the finds. We completed the signing duties and re hid as found. TFTC.
Spotted the location quickly, just a few muggles about. Managed to grab it and take back to the car to sign and replace. TFTC
Found with LovelyLadyLocks.. cant find last 3 log entries on the log. Signed under ozuk. I know there have been problems with these cachers logging caches but not attending caches themselves...
Muggles everywhere but car placements I believe made this a safe grab. Tftc
Came out today for some quick park and grab to build up my daily tally to 30
after epic day in the gong. Couldn't find this one but I didn't look for long

Time for a nice drive around the area doing some caches. Thanks for bringing me here.
Today's in such beautiful weather I took a tour from Wilberforce to Ebenezer and took the ferry across the Hawkesbury back to Tizzana Road. I was able to look at old buildings along the tracks, taking a nice busch walk to enjoy the beautiful view of the river.
This tour was very nice and I have enjoyed myself very much
Thank you

Nice day outing for geocaching. found it with the helper sevabo, Thanks Splitty Miller JJCC for organised the cache
#772 been here a few times before but never with coordinates or, like yesterday a meeting was in progress however today as the sun was setting there was a mum and child feeding the animals but not near where I was. A very quick find as I spotted the camo as I was getting out of the car. Signed the log and replaced as found. I am sure it wasn't there the previous time I looked. Thanks for the cache Splitty Miller JJCC
On my way out to the caching event at Tizzana Winery. I was able to park at GZ, then it was a quick find. TFTC.
#3173 (3 of 13 today) (Streak day 412)
Another milestone is coming up - do they never end. I've had an invitation to another cacher's milestone grab in the near future and I'm hoping to synchronise mine with that. But I'll need quite a few finds in the next few days.
And Sunday is the day of the week when I have the least finds - 40 less than the next least cached day - so what better than to combine the two and make a few grabs today. And I thought I'd go back to the lovely area around Ebenezer.
Left later than I'd have liked, so only got 13 before it got dark really quickly - occupational hazard in winter. One DNF to muck it all up, but overall a pleasant day in a picturesque area. Only problem was loss of network interfering with the phone app.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION##
A social group were enjoying the oval, so I needed to be a little surreptitious here. Luckily it was another quick find. Sat at GZ to complete signing duties and replaced without getting up.
Then had a look at the Scout Hall.
Then made a hasty exit.

Streak Day #1073 - Headed out here to nab a couple of caches with dave8153, he quickly made the find before i could approach GZ. TFTC
Headed out to Wilberforce with Snoopy1976 to do a couple of caches tonight. We decided that we would start with this one. TFTC
Found a cache near here years ago when this hall was used by Scouts. Took in the hint and knew where to look. TFTYCM

Out for a couple of hours caching in the area today with karennicole, thereimer and Blundo Buster Jnr.
This was first on our list. We were able to park 20m away and walked over. Initially we weren't sure whether it wood be here or wood it be over there, but in the end we were able to log a pretty quick find.
Thanks for hiding and maintaining this cache Splitty Miller JJCC.

A spot of afternoon caching with karennicole, blundobusters and jnrbb. I missed it at first thanks to the ants which made for a good hiding spot. BB made the find. TFTC.
Found on a fun family caching afternoon with thereimer, Blundo Busters and Blundo Buster Junior. Where wood this cache be?? Discovered it living with the ants. Thanks Splitty Miller JJCC

After 3 of us Everlasting, sevabo and myself were caching on the EG-Q series then we came here, quick and easy CIH and then on the way we went home for the day. Thanks Splitty Miller JJCC for bringing us here.
I headed down to Windsor for my weekly bowling comp an hour or so earlier than I needed to today in order to grab a few caches and therefore avoid having my leanest ever caching month. Pulling up at GZ, a prominent natural structure stood out as a likely hiding spot for this cache ... but I was wrong! I figured then that I had better look at the listing and my compass, which prompted me to look at something else just a little distance away. The cache was then soon in my hot little hands and I happily added my name to the log sheet. Thanks for the cache Splitty Miller and for the smiley.
On way to follow the Ebenezer mystery trail and this cache came up on the Navman - a turn or two, an easy park and seek. cache was in good order tucked in its hide. TFTC Splitty Miller JJCC
Easy find, was laying on the ground so we replaced in most appropriate spot! Thanks. Wood crafting day on at the hall.
We hit the Windsor markets in search of some gifts and then continued onto Wilberforce/Ebeneezer for an afternoon of caching in the beautiful winter sunshine. It turned into a personal history tour as we had connections with many of the locations we visited through our Rose family connections who came to Australia on the Bellona in 1793.
Another connection for Geohubby today as he is both a Scout leader and Woodturner. He's pretty impressed that I tailored the day just to him. This was sitting out in the open so I popped it back where I'm sure it should have been.

After attending the Hawkesbury Meet and Greet event at Tizzana Winery, a few cache finds were in order. Not knowing we could actually drive up to it, we parked the car in the side street and hot footed it to GZ where the cache was soon discovered. No one around today which made for an easy retrieval. It was quite chilly out so we didn't spend too long signing the log. Thanks for the hide Splitty Miller JJCC.

Out today with the geomum and today we were on our way to the Hawkesbury Meet and greet event. On the way we thought we would grab a few caches on the way.
Found quickly while there was a soccer game nearby TFTC

At the moment I'm on a work and travel backpacking trip through the world. Most of the first two years I'll spend in Australia and I'm trying to solve my 365 days of caching challenge during this trip. The chance of having a moving home zone should be taken, as it will make the challenge so much easier.
On my way to the Hawkesbury Meet and Greet I made a couple of stops to get some of the boxes in this area.
This one was a quick and easy find.

I was struggling to locate the cache, I had an idea of where it was but didn't want to upset nature so I PAF and confirmed what I was dreading. I found a nearby stick and dug out an ants nest but there was no sign of the cache. Dug out at another location and also had no luck. Tried the first location but this time dug in a lot further and this time I hit something hard. Managed to hook the cache and dragged it out. I SL #2028 on streak day #1088 but didn't return the cache to the same location as the occupants were none to happy. I emailed to CO with instructions on how I have rehidden the cache but am happy to go back and put it back in the original location if need be. TFTC
Last time I was here this hidey hole was a hive of activity for the angry ants nearby. Today however, all quiet on the western front which made for a quick find.
Worked it out and needed to wait for muggles to leave before I retrieved it. Log signed.
#2978- The last time we were out this way, a few weeks ago, we picked up the second in this pair. Today, despite me knowing what I thought I was looking for, I missed that part and sent myself round and round in circles till I spotted the obvious. At least, after missing yet another micro TS in Windsor, I did find this one. that DNF didn't bode well for the rest of the day, but as it turned out, it was the only cache of 16 I tried for that I missed today. Thanks for giving me the confidence to carry on.
I popped out for this afternoon, this one had been on my radar for quite some time but left it for when I needed a quick find. My GPS was playing games with me to begin with and had me on the large treestump across the road from the GZ. After a while it corrected itself and I quickly had the CIH. Nice spot this side of the park. Thanks for the cache Splitty Miller JJCC.
Searched for a while until the angry ants decided I had been on their turf long enough
Was so eager to start the trail last time that I missed this hide or drove 80km/hr past along Sackville Road. Tried and found in the first place I looked, TFTC
A bit too wet to find yesterday, but since I did find wood II I had some idea of what to expect.
The cache survived the deluge.
Thanks for the cache.
