Was out searching for this cache as part of the clues to solve the Mystery at the Museum puzzle. Read the hint, which helped a bit. This cache is in need of some TLC. Found with SmudgeyCat SR. TFTC Wink

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

Completely destroyed, needs replacing. Also, area has been used for illegal dumping, which makes it a bit dangerous. Nice view though.

Found with my Dad this morning on a caching morning around Wentworth Falls and Lawson....

Find #2125
We ducked out this morning before the rest of the family were active, and cached around the Wentworth Falls area. We finished our list then 'ad libbed' it back to Leura via Lawson finding some other cool spots in the process. A nice little haul of 15 finds and 2 trigs before lunch....
This one took a while, although it shouldn't have - funny enough pricking myself on the bush next to the hide diverted my attention to the hide... The box is cracked and missing clips. TFTC Macca88
 
25-May-18
Box is cracked but I found it and signed the log
 
05-May-18
Too many impediments to finding this cache today; that spikey thing, the railway workers, SO much horrible rubbish everywhere. This is one for another day.
 
In Katoomba to walk from Jenolan to Katoomba along the six foot track. A day early so completing a few caches around the area before getting a bus to Jenolan. Found the prickles but not the cache though I did not search in the rubbish. TFTC.
 
03-Apr-18
Found with help of Activity among all the rubbish.

Heading to the city for the weekend and picked up a few caches along the way.
Quick find in the dark.

Found by Mary & David at 1040. We did see a stationary train at the station as we drove past. Love to have these double-decker trains in Melbourne. The lid is cracked and two of the four clips are missing. Our thanks to Macca88.

Staying at frazeydaze's retreat at Blackheath for a coupleweeks and while she does a bit of clearing out etc I'm doing a spot of caching. Today I chased up some caches around Lawson and Bullaburra. This was the second of 13 finds and 2 dnf's. It sure was spiky around GZ. Good view though of the GWH from up here. No trains spotted. TFTC Macca88.
 
16-Jul-17
Took a little bit of searching but found the cache somewhere between the pile of rotting chip board and the old mower. Now... off to find a bandaid! TFTC

Parked at the top of the hill next to the cache and some newly dumped rubbish - including and old mower. The concealing spiky bush has been singed a bit. Cache was espied without much ado.
 
08-Aug-16
On a visit to Wentworth Falls we found this cache.

Thanks.
 
16-May-16
Don't know if it was the sun in our eyes or it's missing

This one took a little longer than most of these - cache found about 5m from GZ.

TFTC
 
15-May-16
Took the lazy option and drove to GZ. Took a while to locate the cache but got there in the end. TFTC

Tried for about 10 minutes or so but couldn't spot it. One of the spikey bushes seemed as though it had been burnt. Not sure if this was the bush that contained the cache or not.
 
11-May-16
TFTC Macca88. This is a very busy road in the afternoon - locals avoiding the hway?
 
11-May-16
Another easy find on a good caching day. TFTC
 
11-May-16
Last find for the day, it had become very windy, so were glad to head off back home. TFTC Macca88
 
11-May-16
A lot of builders rubbish around, easy find, tried to camouflage a little better. TFTC
 
11-May-16
Last cache for a successful day. Obviously it is city folk worrying about the prickles - country folk are tougher Smile TFTC
 
08-May-16
Found it on a smoky Mothers Day Sunday on the way home from a weekend in Leura. Another quick find. TFTC
 
20-Apr-16
My daughters second find for the day. Two in a row she's on a roll. Thanks
 
13-Mar-16
Came up here with the Rats for a weekend in the mountains and this was of the few caches we found.
I wasnt the one sticking my hand in there. Lucky Dad was a bit ougher than me.
Thanks
 
13-Mar-16
Heading home from a lovely weekend in the mountains we came down the back way to grab these few trainspotter caches.
We knew where to look but everytime we started the mini rat would reel back yelling at Dad.... LOL I soo stuck my hand in and grabbed it.
Thanks
 
04-Mar-16
After a few spikes and scratches, the cache was soon in hand.
 
13-Jan-16
I couldn't stop and search as there was a work crew close to GZ.
 
29-Dec-15
TFTC. So spikey though!
 
29-Dec-15
lol if the bush doesnt hurt.. ur in the wrong place. tftc. bt ow.
 
23-Dec-15
Number two for the pre-christmas caching trek. Cache was hiding pretty deep into the local vegetation and there was a few ouches, but soon got my hands on that cache. TFTC
 
10-Dec-15
Pelusa found it, TNLNSL, TFTC
 
29-Nov-15
Nice quick find. I too used to extraction to let nearby. TFTC
 
06-Nov-15
Ouch! I used a cache retrieval tool kindly left by a previous finder, but still ouch! Had someone pull up right in front of my car just as I was replacing the cache, so I played trainspotter for a bit and took a couple of photos of a passenger train heading down the mountains.

Hmmm, good views from up here.
 
05-Oct-15
No blood but not for lack of trying by the tree protecting the cache . Found a nearby retrieval assistant, then my own decides not to work very well. Must be time to stop caching for some lunch. Tftc.

We had no trouble finding this one, but I can't say I enjoyed the experience. Monkey Girl spotted it first & reached out to grab it, ignoring me saying earlier that the plant would hurt. It did hurt her, a lot. Maybe a bison tube on the fence would be a better option than in the middle of that plant?

Thanks Smile
 
28-Sep-15
Don't know why people have had problems with this one, a bit of care and judicious reaching and no damage done which is just as well as these thorn could lead to a tetanus infection.
Thanks for the cache.
 
21-Sep-15
Found with geodog phoebe
 
12-Sep-15
Yeah!
 
23-Aug-15
This was a dangerous find- spiky bush then tripped on the way back to car. Double ouch! TFTC
 
23-Aug-15
I brought some gardening gloves this time. Not entirely necessary considering where the cache was located, but useful all the same. Found with Zonic.
 
23-Aug-15
Found with geodad. tftc

Ouch is right. Great view at night from along here

Since finding how to get to this road, it meant that I could make at least three easy finds before the sun disappeared.
Now tat was really spikey. I had to look around from a safe distance before making the find.
Thanks for the cache.
 
27-Jul-15
Man that was spikey

We parked and walked up the slope where I found the spikey place. I managed to retrieve the cache without becoming a pin cushion. Thanks

Spikey!! Tftc

#3117- well I certainly didn't do these in the logical order, as I had driven past two and had to come back, but that was my lack of planning. Little did I realise they were all on the one road due to my silly car GPS. With it still pouring rain I was well and truly soaked by now, so please this was another instant find. No zip lock bag in here now- but it's all dry at the moment. Thanks.
