Hey cache hunters this one keeps getting muggled. So I'll free the site up for some other creative use.

In the ambulance and DOA !

Came by with previous finder and it appears that cache no longer exists or has been muggled

It’s always fun to geocache while your sister is playing soccer. Thanks.

Had no problems in finding this cache. There were no soccer matches going on which made for a quick and easy find. Sat on the nearby seat and signed the log and the replaced the cache as found. Thank you Old Man Emu for placing this cache.

Found on the drive from the Mega in Morisset to our home in Ballarat. We did a few detours through Sydney in order to fulfil a little more of a challenge cache.
How true the hint was today for me. However logbook may need maintenance as it was wet or wet in the past. Thanks for the cache!

Found but couldn't extract plug

Yes. My steak continues. Even at 11pm, by myself. After work. I tried for one on way to work but couldn't find an ran outta time. So went for this instead. Scratch around in one deep hole and almost disturb a frog.
Poked around and woot. There you are. Image for proof.

In Dundas fort a week staying with family, out and about doing a few caches nearby TFTC

Quick easy find. TFTC. The 4Rods.

Nice find

managed to find it before the cricket started for the day & no one was about. signed & returned as found Thanks for placing & maintaining this cache Old Man Emu

Log 1186 Streak Day 315

Yay! Found it, easy find on a Sunday afternoon, no muffles around, but forgot to bring a pen.

OCW Alephroom. We parked close to this one but there were muggles right near GZ. We decided to walk over to my cache, Tamariki Tree, nearby first. Upon our return, the muggles has gone and I made a quick find here. Log was damp but otherwise in good order. TFTC!

Cheeky

This one was relatively easy to find. Would be great for someone doing their first cache.

Found it at 12:37pm. Park completely deserted. Only a heron nearby.

Another day with sevabo and ozuk, Nice park area - signed the log.
Old Man Emu thank you for organising the cache and hunt.

Too many muggles here but Everlasting managed to retrieve it behind me standing thanks for the cache.

Thanks for the cache.

Stopped off on my way back home from the Amateur Radio NSW (HAM Radio) bi-monthly Trash & Treasure sale at Quarry Road Dural, to find this one. It had been a fun filled morning of HAM radio junk scrounging, and a nice BBQ lunch with lots of friendly chit chat, but now it was time to collect some more caches on the homeward journey. This was the 3rd of 15 finds for the day.

Dived off busy North Rocks Road for a quick find at this one. TNLNSL, then replaced as found. The park was totally deserted during my visit. TFTC Old Man Emu.

Find #1846

Good find.

Quick find while the maintenance man was watching with the geo granny

Took longer to get the deeply inserted blocker out of the tube than to find it. TftC.

Nice find took 3 seconds!

My second cache for today as I explore Carlingford on foot.

Quite a few muggles exercising here this morning but I spotted a gap and went in fir the grab

Tftc

Quick park and grab
TFTC

This was our final find for the day. A quick stroll brought us to the right spot and I could see the container immediately when I had a look. No problem extracting it. Fortunately, it was also quiet around GZ; perhaps the overcast skies had something to do with that.

The real mission was trying to get the plug out of the internal container that houses the log sheet. I usually have a small Swiss army knife with me, but today was a day that I had left it at home. Some nearby twigs eventually did the trick. May the next finder please not shove the plug all the way into the holder so it's flush -- it helps leaving a bit sticking out so someone can grab on it and pull it out.

It was at that point that I realised I didn't have my special caching pen with me. I had dropped it somewhere between the Tamariki tree cache and this one. Grrrrr! It's a great pen and I wasn't going to let this pass. So we replaced everything in the cache container and returned it to its hiding spot. Then I retraced my steps, searching the ground for the missing pen. Eventually, I found it near where I had signed the previous cache's log sheet; what a relief to have it back.

We again headed up to this cache, retrieved it, completed the signing duties. I also added my signature small wire dog. Finally, we were ready to leave. Good thing because we were ravenous, and I had promised my little boy that I would make a batch of pancakes for lunch.

I found it and its my first geocach. Every thing is in good condition.

Thanks Old Man Emu. Great song too

I found it on a business trip last year

Thanks for a walk lunch time find

Didn't take too long to find. It took longer to find a car park.

Nice log container. These logs should be used in wet areas

Found it. These containers would be perfect for wet area caches.

Find # 1034. Found at 8:33pm.

I was out and about this evening only intending to tick off one cache - 'Bright Eyes - Night Cache' but I couldn't help myself and ended up making my way to North Rocks to pick up a handful of traditionals. It was dark so I wasn't too keen to tackle any rural caches but rather some park and grabs.

'Ambulance Blues' was my fifth find for the evening. I headed into where the entrance is into the park but decided it probably wasn't a good idea parking here, I drove down to the closest street and walked over. Once at GZ, I searched the wrong area first as the coordinates pointed me somewhere in between two likely areas. When I corrected myself I figured out a likely cavity and retrieved. I don't love sticking my hand in holes like this but you gotta do what you gotta do when it comes to caching.

Signed log, thanks for the cache Old Man Emu

Walked over here from Tamariki tree and Geoson made a quick find. We rolled a double 6 but I'm sorry, I should have read your description more carefully because we didn't flip the coin or come up with a word! SL, TFTC ... now off to find this song to have a listen.

Quick find in the second place we looked. TFTC.

#1057
Out to collect my daily cache for the day and decided to search in the North Rocks area. This was the first of five. Parked in nearby street and took a short walk to the oval. There were a few people walking/jogging around the oval but weren't paying me any attention. Found a likely spot but it just had rubbish. Checked out a spot nearby that the iPhone was interested in but then returned and found it looking from a different angle. I don't recall seeing dice or letters in the cache but I may have missed them.

Parked nearby very late in the evening, short stroll across the park. First place I looked had a few empty coffee cups, didn't really want to put my hand in there. Next hide hole, ah, that has to be it. Found with Geo Kids Bluewattle Mini and Bluewattle Junior TFTC

First place I looked but missed it

Came all the way to north Sydney today to do some caching in a unknown area for me. Ended up doing some stuff of my wishlist and a lot of fun caches. Thanks for putting out all the caches and I surely will be back.
TFTC Wilbert67

Found in the second place I looked, particularly due to the approach angle.

This container should have no problems keeping dry in the rain!

TFTH

Quick grab while waiting for friend for lunch. TFTC

I had decided to do my civic duty and vote early on the way home from work and seeing as I was so close to home I went home to have dinner before setting out with the geodogs to find my cache for the day. The dogs made for an excellent cover as I walked around the park and found a likely hiding spot, found the cache in the second place I looked. SL #2670 on streak day #1527 TFTC

OK, the Cache is back in play. Good hunting !

Ambulance Blues has been mugged. I'll turn off the maintenance flag when I have replaced it.

Looked everywhere, near & far from coordinates. Couldn't make sense of the clue, looked near seats. Disappointed we couldn't find it.

Even with a straight forward hint we still can't find it.

Was looking everywhere for it. Around the bushes and in the trees. Still didn't find it.

Nice location. Showed a friend their first cache. Awesome

Found it during a nice walk. Thanks and greetings from Germany, Socke11

Found it. Lots of muggles around so had to be lightening fast. TFTC

Was not a hard find. The kids had a blast. It was good as the kids were not board trying to find it.
Thx !!

Great find with @pabayakoon. Kids had a great time. TFTC.

2 new log sheets added and two 6 sided dice. Good luck.

Looked in the wrong spot for 5 minutes. After widening our search we soon had CIH. We took the TB but had nothing to leave as we didn't think we'd have time for any Geocaches today. The kids did have their 2 TBs just in case but they were too big to fit so they just visited.

Quick find. Nice spot:) Logbook is slightly damp but still writable.

Tftc

TFTC. Log is a bit damp, not too. Much space to write on it. May need a new one tbh.

TB drop

TFTC, The Thomas Team!!

Returned today. More muggles having lunch. Off to do Thrill of the hunt. Upon return all muggles gone. GPS had me 8 mtrs away but I had plenty of time to check the area of GZ. TFTC Old Man Emu.

Got muggled by roadworkers. Will come back.

Find #: 1,314
Companions: None
Muggles: A walker
Weather: Cool grey autumn morning
Cache condition: Good

I parked at the southern end of the park and walked across to GZ. I "checked my phone" while waiting for someone to pass, then started my search, and soon had CIH. I signed the log before replacing the container and returning to my car. TFTC

It was touch and go with this one, as it was dark and there were a few folk loitering in the park. Decided to risk it though and got in and out with a find and a lovely look at a little frog. TFTC day 111 of my cache streak.

Easy find tftc.

Once at GZ a quick find was made. Considering it Aurun it sure is warm . TFTC

Tftc. Easy find in the twilight. Found with ~moni~

Good hide.
Log is full on one side and the other side has writing across it. May need replacing.

Needs replacing soon.

No 3 and brink

Tftc, park was nice and empty due to the earlier rain.

Lots of muggles out there traininh but captured without being seen.

A quick find after visiting the cemetery across the road. Many many years since I have been in this park.

TFTC

This was a very quick find even though there were plenty of muggles around and two soccer games in progress. Thankfully everyone seemed to be focusing on those games and did not notice what we were doing. We moved away a little to sign the log and then replaced it where it had been found. Thank you for placing a cache here for us and our fellow cachers to find.

Nice and quick find on a good friday arvo, rolled a 2

Safe

Just out to grab a couple of caches to keep my streak going. All the muggles were just leaving as I arrived so that was lucky and with in a few minute I had the place to my self and was able to grab the cache. The hint is right it is not in the first place you expect it to be. TFTC

Found it on a pleasant Saturday while walking the dog. My timing was pretty good as a cricket match was just wrapping up as I arrived, I had to wait for the muggles to leave before making a quick find. TFTC

Tftf

Literally a park and grab (if you don’t miss the access drive which had me going round the block the first time). Grabbed quickly in second spot I tried just as the clue indicated.

Opa-Shrek and I spent today's geo-run in and around the North Rocks area.... After collecting up the nearby Old Skool smiley we headed on over here, parking at the community centre, and wandering across the oval towards GZ. As I approached, I saw my compass pointing to a most obvious hiding place, so I headed over, and intentionally Ignoring that, I headed straight for the "other" obvious spot, and found the cache there in moments - before Opa-Shrek had even realised we were at GZ I think
Thanks for the find Old Emu Man
PS... I was on the B-R-I-N-K of success when I rolled a 3

Today's geo-outing with Mumma-Kel brought us down the M1 to the North Rocks, an area that is home to a cluster of caches but one that neither of us has tackled other than the odd drive by find.

We parked at the nearby community centre in order to tackle this one, and then wandered across a sports field that, judging from all the marquees, tables and chairs that were being removed by a party hire company, had seemingly just recently been the venue for some other sort of special event. As we reached a bit of shade near GZ, I paused to turn on my phone to bring up the compass ... and by the time it had linked up with the satellite gods, Mumma-Kel had the cache in hand ... so an easy smiley for me!

Thanks for the cache Old Man Emu, and for the smiley.

Tftc!!!!

Last cache for today didn't disappoint us. Nice find, signed the log.

Found at 9.48 with Kjap92

Find 3 of 17

WE decided to do some couple caching today and this was our third find of the day. Parked over by the tennis courts and walked over to GZ. Thankfully today was not raining unlike the last visit i made this way. We got a rough fix on a possible GZ and made the find within a few minutes though it wasn't in our first search area.

Using the letters provided we managed to spell "BRINK" and after rolling the dice we rolled a 6.

There was no coin in this cache.

SL TNLN TFTC

Found with goughy2012 quite a clever Hiding spot not our first thought had to think outside the box r
Rolled a 6 word we spelt was brink however no coin was there to flip

Found this one on the second attempt. Not sure why I didn't try that spot the first time. Might have been the coordinates.

Lots of walkers around. A nice sunset too.

No coin in the cache.

Word was BRINK and roll was a 3.

Thanks for the cache!

Yay, found with some friends but had no pen goodness me. tftc

Quick no one about today I rolled a 1 the coin was gone I made the word brink TFTC

Now hidden under the foliage!

After lunch with friends, i did a Neil Young North Rocks tour. Young he is no more but the music lives!

As pointed out:
It's hard to say the meaning of this song.

TFTC Old Man Emu

Great hiding spot! Got my afternoon exercise running across the field to & from the car after leaving it in the nearby parking lot

Great spot.. Unexpected!
