Found It!Not too many people here today so this one was a quick and easy find!TFTC
After trying to be sneaky with a bus full of retired folks across the road was a quick easy one. TFTC
After finishing up with our aim of the Kayak series down the Colo, Rats, Steeba and I had a bit more time in the afternoon to cache before we needed to be home.We targetted some more caches in the area, some of which included chalenges that I do not yet qualify for.It was a stinking hot afternoon, and I was pretty fried by the time the afternoon thunderstorm hit.Cheers
A nice day for a drive. Came here for this cache a quick find
Thanks to all the owners who let us find their goodies and thought of these places

Came along today to add some more smileys to the map of the Hawkesbury area. You just have to love geocaching, especially on Valentines Day. It was a good run and goingplaces2 came along for the ride. This cache was a successful find and the log was signed. TFTC.
I’m in the area for the day with work, visiting people assisting in the aftermath of the floods. Stopped here with a guy from work who had never found a geocache before! Thanks for placing this one
Under beautiful skies I made the most of my day off work to bag a plethora of caches in the Windsor / Colo area. It was one of those days where I drove past more caches than I found, but I went with specific mindset of finding caches that helped improve my D/T rating.
Thanks to all the CO's for your hides, I had a great day either in the bush or by the river.
A quick find

Today was a road trip around the Hawkesbury area. An ambitious list of caches to find as I set myself a target of reaching 10,000 finds by year end. Covid-19 lockdown put a spanner in the works and I now have only two months to find the remaining 200+ caches. So rather than interesting caches, I had to schedule a day in the car and go for quantity, rather than quality.
Ski Inn? Where are the slopes?
This is 54 of 61 finds today. TFTC!

Another quick find; great for two newbies, on a Sunday drive. Makes us happy we are able to find things. Thank you.
Found with Bluewattle Mini and Bluewattle Junior. Would love to stop for a break, however there are many caches still waiting to be found today TFTC
We're camping at Wisemans Ferry for a few days and today I'm on a caching excursion to Ebenezer and back via a somewhat circuitous route on both sides of the river.
No problem locating this hide but the best part was the opportunity to grab a coffee to sustain me on my journey. Thanks for that and for the hide teamMerlin.

Out collecting a couple of finds today and this was a simple park and grab that helped me complete my hunt for all the wonders of the world (a challenge at the moment) yay thanks for the find!
Nice and easy find here. This cache helped us complete our ancient wonders collectibles. Tftc
The nearby coffee shop was busy, as we sat in the car to have our morning tea. TFTC teamMerlin
TFTC team merlin, looks like tractor 828 is smoking some meat, wondering if they do ribs
Before finding this cache could recommend that you come to the nearby cafe for a Jaffa slice of some lollies. Another find on our quest to complete the Mystery at the museum promo. TFTC.
OCW Sensible Shoes and Shoes. Found on about daytrip to Ebenezer. Signed as Shoes x3. TFTC

Came through for some cache maintenance this evening - replaced the rusted container with a new one. Also replaced logsheet, so its just like new. All good to go.
Si we found it but the mint tin it was in was rusted I would just replace the mint tin but the list was soaked and useless so yeah.
The plastic bag has leaked and let in water, paper list of names kind of destroyed.
Find # 4132

Another day OCW marj01. After a very early start from the eastern subs we arrived at Ebenezer at first light to commence the day. During the course of the day we visited 69 trads, 4 multis, 2 puzzle and 2 letterbox caches. With only a handfull of dnfs it was a successfull day, with the majority of the caches being found in a reasonably short time. Thanks to all the COs for hiding and maintaining their caches and providing us with a fun day. Cheers oldmorty.
Out caching with @itsonlybarney.
Suffering from a bit of geocaching withdrawal after our geocaching holiday. We decided to take the opportunity of the good weather to grab as many caches as we could. We managed to get 25 finds for the day. TFTC.

**Total find count: 523**
After a week way from the searching for caches after our holiday, we needed to get out and about on a glorious day. With a total of 25 finds for the day, it felt good to make some finds after a week of no finds.
All caches were in excellent condition except as otherwise noted in my comments below.

Being the long weekend and almost lunch, the area was full of muggle cars. Luckily there was parking at GZ and I soon had CIH and had signed the log before replacing as found.

A very quick and easy find as it was so obvious, especially after having had lunch at Tractor 828. Tftc
Quick and easy find - about the quickest we have ever found a geocache! TFTC
After the event I had just had to grab a few around here on the way home. Quick find at GZ. TFTC

OCW StueyGow, The Bebes and ADI. Although at times it felt like it could snow today, we didn't see any skiers, of any kind. TFTC TeamMerlin
Using the car as a shield we grabbed this one quickly.. Log was full and a little worse for wear... New log sheet added

Needed some lunch and fuel so stopped in at the nearby Tractor Inn. Suitably refreshed we ducked down the road and made a quick grab and we were on our way. Thanks teamMerlin
Out with the kids the day before school goes back. Great spot. TFTC. With Ebonymac06 and Joshymac10.
With time to spare before the CITO event today I headed further along Sackville Road for a few more caches in the Hawkesbury.
Three vehicles towing boats pulled into the "parking area" opposite the coffee stop and pushed me right up to what the map calls Tuckerman Road but had no sign and looked more like a driveway to me. How lucky was that, right at GZ. I could have actually grabbed the cache from the passengers side but you know, drivers have to get out and stretch their legs.
So the cache really is a park and grab!

quick P&G while grabbing a coffee across the road on a drizzly Sunday drive (not complaining as the rain is needed)

Found On a great caching day out with Tombi. We had initially planned to cache closer to home but then had to go with plan B , which made for a great day. A delivery van pulled up in front as we were going for this cache but he moved on and we made a quick find. Thanks for the cache teamMerlin tnln sl
Found with Mighty Minions on a trip to the area. We targeted the EG-Q series as well as a certain trackable out here. We found pretty much all the caches we tried for. Though we started to skip some as the day went on, but got all the answers needed for the final. A great day and we will return when the final is solved...
Driving along and getting more answers we were soon here. I thought about getting something to eat for an early lunch, but decided against it, which meant I did not eat all day until I got home for dinner. So more time for caching for me!
At GZ a van pulled up at the same time, but a the delivery guy went up one up of the driveways.
Thanks for the quick cache!

150km round trip, logged 5GA & 6GC caches, not a bad day out!
now that's a nearby good place to know about for future visits to the area. Nice quick find after a busy day.

After a nice lunch at the establishment across the road, this made for a quick find. Another EG-Q cache to cross off my list.
Day 3 of a school holiday trip to Wisemans Ferry in our brand new geomobile, spending a couple of nights at the Del Rio Riverside Resort, and collecting some caches along the way as we explore this historic area.
Today we were on our way back home, going via Lower Portland and taking the Sackville Ferry route back to Maroota and the Old Northern Road, then down through Galston Gorge. This was the 11th of 17 finds for the day, 26th find of the trip.
Yep you guessed it, another quick roadside park & grab. Spotted the very popular caching container as we approached GZ. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found. There was a farmer ploughing his field near the cache as we signed the log, but he was looking the other way during the retrieve & replace. TFTC teamMerlin.
