Easy find but so hot here today crouching in the bushes trying to hide lol saw a TB but left it for now. May come back for it. TFTC
Wonderful cache, also surprised its still around considering the size! Lots of trinkets! Tftc
Quick find great Size container Big enough for a travle bug up I've been holding on to for way too long
Fourth time's the charm!! I seem to have been slack about logging my previous visits to this cache, but I have dnf'd it multiple times over the past three years. On the first occasion I spotted something I believed was the cache, but I couldn't get near it. Another two visits I couldn't see anything likely at all and wondered if I had imagined the first object in the shadows. But today I found it, in a far more obvious location than I'd previously seen it, and in a place that was quite empty on my previous visits. Not sure if it's been moved to the wrong place, or if it should have been there all along, but I returned it to where I found it today.I appreciated the information about Mickey. I've fought that illness on many occasions myself, and thankfully won, but it's never truly gone, just kept at bay. RIP Mickey.
Find # 10697Nice quick find.R.I.P. Mickey. We share the same surname. TFTC kimlangley 17 February 2024 12:27
Thanks for the cache. It's a lovely way to remember your loved one. The pencil has gone from inside, so I couldn't write on the log.
A great reason for a cache.
This is my closest-to-home ‘normal’ cache, but I’ve been holding of because of the profusion of ‘Cobblers Pegs’ (AKA ‘Farmers Friends’). Grateful to the council crew for finally dealing with that obstacle!

#11 - After a long and inadvertent hiatus I'm back. A nice straightforward find to ease back into it.
Terribly sorry to hear of your brothers tragic loss with the black dog. The human mind can be a cruel and terrible place. It's so wonderful to remember him as you do though.

Tipsy walk home from a mates party at 3am and remembered there was a geocache somewhere near by. Beautiful dedication and a special one for my first cache.
2nd try as got more experience. Tftc Unfortunately couldn't log as didn't have a pen
Despite the entry to the bridge blocked off while the path is repaired, access to GZ was ok, and cache was spotted easily.
Lots of goodies inside. A lovely tribute to your family member. I took the TB. TFTC

Coordinates virtually spot on and found quite easily. Left my traditional golden paper clip . What a fantastic thing to do in memory of your brother . TFTC kimlangley
After picking Miss AusPol up from NYE celebrations we completed the AL and found this cache on the way. It was a quick find and nice to explore these new suburbs. Thanks for the cache!
Our very first find of 2023. While picking our geokid from New Year’s Eve party, we decided to do a bit of geocaching together with OlMaLol.
Sent the geokid in for this one. A quick park and grab as we explore the area. TNLN TFTC
Picked up on the way out of town. Dropped off some trackables.
Found with GrimRaider on a trip to Penrith to check out the caravan show. Thanks for hiding this cache Langleylads

Got an idea where it maybe but afraid farmers friend put me off . Maybe another day
A sad story and a nice tribute. I’m on my way to Dayboro from South Australia so I’ve taken one of the TBs to come along for the ride. Thanks kimlangley.
On a wet Sunday arvo Billywest007 and I decided to grab a couple caches in Gregory Hills. Loads of webs, but easy grab!
Not quite a find and not quite a DNF, I spotted the cache and got within about 2 metres of it, but the sheer number of spiders and webs was too much - I couldn't get any closer. I briefly considered reaching the cache with a long stick, but realised I still wouldn't be able to put it back.
I'll have to return someday with a braver friend!

Found! Thanks to the geo partner for helping with retrieval. Beautiful dedication to Mickey ️
There's nothing like being right under a muggle's nose without them having any idea you're there. After searching the obvious locations and coming up empty handed we ventured off the beaten track and quickly made the find.
Spent the afternoon focusing on three sets of Adventure Lab experiences in the Macarthur Region. Collected a handful of additional caches along the route. All caches were located easily and in good condition. Thanks to the Cache Owners for their contribution to this recreational activity.
Completed this Traditional cache after stopping in to collect information for the nearby AL experience. Spotted from the top. TFTC

Quick find with Deep_99 to keep the streak going. SL #4701 on streak day #3033 TFTC
On a solo midnight mission tonight for a couple of these caches to keep my streak alive. Taking in some fresh air and and the peaceful night in the area. I decided to come over to this one first to check it. Parked the geomobile close by and headed over to gz with my trusty torch. Getting there and having a quick scan I knew what I had to do to find the cache. So off I went and quickly spotted the cache with my light. As well as a few daddy long legs protecting it. It wasn't long before I had CIH and got to check out the contents. I completed signing the log and replaced. RIP Mickey. This is a lovely tribute. And TFTC!
Actually found 11/9. Such a lovely way to share the memory of a loved one. I made sure to look at the contents, and it made me make a silent prayer for those around Mickey.
Out for a Sunday can and bottle recycling drop. Nice easy find with Gundrills. TFTC
Loved this cache. Probably the heaviest one I’ve found. Even had a little watching me as I opened it. Took something and left something
Another nice and quick park and grab for me today between passing cars. I found it in the first place I looked. Tftc!
What a nice idea to dedicate this cache to your brother. I'm sure he's watching over it.
I've never been in Gregory Hills before but came this route on the way back to the M...whatever as I head bacl to Sydney.
It's been a really successful day caching and beautiful weather for a drive out here in the 'country'. Such lovely scenery.
I parked the geomobile nearby and walked over towards GZ. Considering today has been such a muggle free day I was surprised by the passing traffic here, some coming along the path, some across the bridge... finally they were gone and I was able to go hunting for the cache.
Hate the weeds I had to scramble through to get to it!
I retrieved the cache and was signing the log when a bicycle came past, an unusual sound. Then a dog ran by, even weirder from this position.
SL and left a TB - finally a cache large enough to drop something off.

Great first timer for my friend, she loves the toys and can’t wait for the next... how old is she again? Not 35 hahaha
Nice hide, cache was easy to find and get. But I did have a quite a spectacular fall on the foot path which gathered a few muggles to the area hahaha. Don't worry, I had already signed and replaced the cache haha
So very happy to say we found it this time!! We ledt behind a batman squishy ans took a giraffe to continue on with our journey. Rip to Mickey and love to his family xx
Devastated i couldn't find this one. Was really hoping to locate it. Maybe next time as i was also rushing a little due to the rain.
Sunday Fun day, our weekly cache collection day. Found pretty quickly. Nice size TFTC

Today I teamed up again with marj01 for another day of caching, this time around the Narellan/Camden/Cobbity areas. We had a very enjoyable and adventurous day visiting the cache locations, finding a heap of hides but also a few DNF's along the way.
A quick find for us today. TFTC.

A nice quick park and grab in obvious spot, geokid very happy to have found it. A lovely tribute to your brother. Tftc!
Checked this on behalf of the owner. Still hidden in position just waiting for a cacher.
After having to drive past this cache earlier in the evening, I parked a few streets away and walked to this my third and final find for the evening. I'm sorry to hear about Mickey. I and several people I know have come close to departing the same way. Coincidentally my current signing pen kept in my car is from a Mental Health First Aid course. As someone who has both needed and given such support I really encourage everyone to Google MHFA and try to do the course. It takes about as much time as a decent physical first aid course, and can have equally important results.
Thanks for hiding a cache in memoriam, and to prompt thoughts on this incredibly important topic.
