Sorry but I have lost interest in the Park and Grab series, I'll only be maintaining the 3D printed series.

Took off super early for work this morning and targeted 3 caches, this been one of the 3 , the park was totally empty so I had a good look, only found a dirty nappy by some lazy parent. So no find here. It's obvious this has been muggled. Well this happens at times. Thanks anyway.

2nd DNF in this series for me today - I had a good look around all places mentioned in the hint but didn't find it -(

On the way to mums, came past and parked in the car park. Walked down and searched for a bit with two muggles at the tables nearby. Then made the find. TFTC.

Nice quick & easy find! Loving the fact that there's parking close by to those I've found so far in this little series. Was worried I'd struggle to find a spot. This one was quite exposed & I'm worried it may get muggled in this park. Off to find the last two in this series as I drive back to the office via this loop. TFTC

Another easy one to keep the streak - & the walk -going! TFTC incensed

Quick find after a trip to the local shopping mecca.

Cache #150 (3 of 3) TFTC

Quick grab on way home from the city.

Parking was more an issue here after pulling into the carpark, then leaving as I thought I saw a closer gate, blocked by a fence then had to go around the block to come back to the first carpark. Gps also jumping around actual GZ till it settled but eventually an easy find.

Found it!

First found for today with my mum.

Had the playground to ourselves. Kids played whilst cache duties completed. Left some swaps. Tnsl tftc Incensed xo

Found with morry9 during a day out in an effort to help me get closer to reaching my milestone goal of 2,000 finds at the last ever Geocaching Block Party in Seattle this August. We started over at Lidcombe with Harry's End and then travelled to Homebush West for Bushes and Fields - Henley Reserve. In Homebush we did Bushes and Fields - Slater Reserve and Bushes and Fields - Airey Park. Over to Strathfield we collected Bushes and Fields - Kessell Square, Bushes and Fields - Boden Reserve, Yarn Bombing Rocks, Bushes and Fields - Davey Square Reserve, Grevilleas DO NOT rock, Heydes Hundred (a challenge cache), Bushes and Fields - Todman Reserve (Barker Road), Bushes and Fields - Strathfield Park and Palmer Avenue Troll @ Strathfield.

Next we made our way over to Potts Hill and found dishlicker series No 3 (potts pak), before heading towards Yagoona for Park and Grab #1 O'Neill Park and Park and Grab #7 Gazzard Park. In Bankstown we grabbed Park and Grab #8 McLeod Reserve, Park and Grab #5 Apex Reserve and Ruse park. We then picked up Just Keep Walking #3 and Just Keep Walking #2 in Narwee, before finishing off in Beverly Hills with Just Keep Walking #1, Unguarded Moment, King Georges road troll Roselands and King George's road M5 linear park.

All in all, a fun day out with morry9 and for all of the caches, I Signed Log and Took Nothing Left Nothing. A successful day out in terms of find rate! Thanks For The Caches to all of the respective Cache Owners.

Nice Sunday afternoon. Quick find with jordsau.

Coords good and the hint was good but the cache could be seen through the camo anyway.

Mum and daughter quick find. Thanks.

Nice quick park and grab. Working in the area I always drive past this park and have always wanted to go for a wonder, today as a good excuse for that. Despite all the rain the cache was in good condition. Took TB. Thanks Incensed.

#3047- My brother lives not far from here and I have always meant to drop in and have a look at this pretty park. Today gave me a reason. There was a guy doing his Tai Chi not far away, but he wasn't bothered by me, grabbing the cache, signing and leaving. Thanks

Parking was tricky, but the GPS settled at the right spot for a quick find.

TFTC.

Another cache near home that was itching to be found, and the 15th Geocaching anniversary day was a good day to do it. TFTC

Used to attend the church just next this park (before there was a park). Have always wanted to stop and have a look at this park with the Chinese gates at the top of the path. Nice hide, quick find. Left one of our pathtags. Thanks for the cache!

Hardest part was finding a car spot and the way in, approached an empty park that's looks very appealing for kids. Nice , quick find, TFTC

It is a pitty that people have NO PRIDE or something re RUBBISH in this area!!! the park is great ,thanks Incensed.. ( PS Iam from the BUSH!!!!

Easy find but looked like a creep lurking near park

Thanks for not placing this near the playground. Quick find.

Tftc!

Yes indeed, a quick P&G, thanks.

Nice easy one on way home from work

On the way back from rookwood easy find

A nice quick find here this afternoon. No problems!

Cheers

Well I really struggled with the park aspect of this one, but the grab was quite easy. The GZ must look very pretty (and smell very nice) in Spring time. An interesting park!

Another lunchtime grab after the bloke sitting nearby wanted to see if I was from the council and could increase the size of the bins! TFTC!

A nice quick find on the way back from Bankstown. After some wrong turns here and there along back streets on the south, we decided to park off the highway - we managed to get the last spot! We attempted to find this one without the aid of a GPSr or phone, and after searching in the wrong (yet seemed logical to us) spot, we moved to the correct GZ where the cache was found instantly at an interesting hiding spot. TFTC and the series, Incensed

7/3/15. 12:01 PM. Cache #2300. Streak day #258. The 2nd of 7 for the afternoon, all around the Bankstown area. A short drive here from #7 Gazzard Park. I was reading the satellite photo wrong and searching about 15m too far uphill. Once I'd sorted myself out, the find at the real GZ was easy. Signed as 3TF. Now, that's it for new caches, time to look for older ones in the area. "Ruse Park" was next. TFTC }:)

A quick find today. When i first saw if on a map it looked as though it was in the middle of a city block. Good to have this park here.
I took a travel bug to place inside, but that container is more like a micro than a small, and it wouldn't fit more than a geocoin.
Thanks for the cache.

Saw this one turn up and made a 30 minute dash to GZ from where I was having lunch. Every chance one of the First Hunters in the area will beat me.

Arrived and easily found a parking spot and headed to GZ.
The iPhone was putting me between two likely spots, so started checking one. Nothing, just a suspicious muggle looking my way from their balcony. Hmmm.

Let them go inside and moved to the other spot - somewhat obscured from the nosy neighbour. Ah, there is a familiar container. Took it away to a bench, also not easily seen from the balcony.

Opening the container I saw I had:
*FTF* @ 14:50!
Huzzah!

Completed signing duties and replaced. Then went after two more nearby caches - two DNFs! Oh well.
