Kung Fu Fighting The Ponds, New South Wales, Australia

The spot this cache was hidden in has been damaged making it impossible to replace this cache in it's current form, so I'm going to archive this listing with a view to replacing with a different hide if time permits.

Any news on when this one might return Rheneas? I rode past it the other day but didn't see it on the app as it was disabled. Thanks mate.

Unfortunately this cache has gone missing, will disable it for now until a replacement can be made.

DNF unlikely that it’s still here:(

Forgot to log when i found it, found with Brew and EH. TFTC (lid is gone)

Another quick find after attending the nearby event. TFTC Rheneas

We looked at both gazebos and around the general area. Sadly, we are both on the shorter side LOL. Thanks for the fun!

Were looking in the wrong gazebo! Not that hard once we got the right one.

Very good camo. Took me ten minutes

Came again and found it this time!! The comments helped!

TFTC! Boy, this took me 2 days. Nice camo

Found little miss had some helper

TFTC

Sneaky!

Was easy

The kids loved it!!!

Thanks for the great cache

Out on a family walk/scoot. An easy find. TFTC!

We found it in a short amount of time, and it was all thanks to that clue in the description box. It sure did take a lot of martial arts skills! TFTC!

Did a cache check and found the container missing. Replaced with a temporary one until I have time to construct a proper one. Still findable.

Found it during a nice afternoon around the ponds.
At GZ quick look then we found it. We signed the logbook and putted back everything.
TFTC

Nice quick one. Liked the camo on this. Thanks for the cache.

Thank goodness I had the kiddies for extra height! TFTC

Good hide!

Figured you'd want to know, but the lid of the cache itself is missing.

No one around, made this a quick find. Both logsheets were chockablock, added a 3rd one. TFTC Rheneas

Sydney Feb 21 Trip. Day 2. I joined Fitzy_1965, MinnieK and Tankengine for a weekend trip to Sydney to attend a few Community events and do as much caching as possible. We started with a puzzle series at Quaker's hill in light drizzle. There was then mixed caching and the first event at the Ponds. We headed into town after that and caught up with a bigger contingent of Canberra caches for dinner and a lap of Darling Harbour for caches there. It all got a bit late but it was a great day.

Thanks for the cache Rheneas

Headed up to Sydney with fitzy_1965, albida33 and Tankengine for the weekend attending some Community Celebration events and caching inbetween.

Solved any puzzles before heading away. Signed as MK, F65, TE & A33 to save space and all finds were quick and easy unless otherwise stated.

23,701. Found with minniek, Tankengine and albida33 during a Sydney weekend run attending some Community Celebration Events and generally having a caching good time.

We headed up the Hume this morning with the Quakers Star series in our sights before attending the first of three Community Celebration Events over the weekend. My thanks to my caching companions which made it a memorable trip. After finishing the Star we continued along cherry picking caches until the event was due. This was the next stop of the day. A quick-ish find at GZ. Signed the log (mostly F65 MK TE and A33 to save space), replaced the cache as found, then headed on to the next one on the list.

Thanks Rheneas !!

Chooo ooo [found] - with Fitzy65 minniek and Albida on a Sydney caching trip to attend some Celebration Events with a whole bunch of other Canberra cachers - Thanks Rheneas!

I might be vertically challenged but I know how to improvise when necessary and today I was able to retrieve, sign and replace the cache with ease thanks to a natural TOTT nearby. Then just as I was leaving PTH turned up, so I was able to help him out. TFTC

Glad the previous finder was still on site as they showed me how to get this rather difficult cache. Tftc missing a lid.

In the area this afternoon completing the new AL that has popped up. Stopped by this cache when we were heading back to the car. Thankfully an easy retrieve for some in the party. With the cache in hand we signed in free spot before replacing as found. Cache container is missing a lid and the log is basically full and will need some TLC soon. Thanks for the cache Rheneas.

The following TBs came through for the mileage : Bob geoMinion, Dave geoMinion, Evil geoMinion, Jerry geoMinion, Larry geoMinion, Mary Hyde's Treasure, Stuart geoMinion, teamMerlin's 7 Deadly Ducks Tag (Lust), Vanlith The Youngling, Hidden Creatures Geocoin TB, teamMerlin's Football

Its not too bad for a short guy

Kung fu Panda climbed and claimed the prize

Found it... Eventually

Managed to retrieve and replace with a natural tool, the lid is missing which made the replace easy otherwise I would have been in trouble TFTC

Nice little hiding spot

Tftc a very tiny bit of space left to log the find. First find in a few years

Log full. Found!

OCW Camicles. TFTC

This geocacher reported that the logbook is full.

Woohoo cute find

I love the camouflage and it was a great find

Fortunately, there weren't many people around. Those off in the distance had other distractions, so I could wander around, craning my neck to see something out of the ordinary. The clue was helpful in narrowing down the options, and soon I thought I had spotted something that needed further prodding and investigating.

I managed to extract the container from its hiding place. It is missing a lid, but the contents were dry. Only thing is that the log sheet is completely full. I managed to find a spot where I could add my name at an angle, but a new log sheet would be in order. Alas, I didn't have any blank paper with me. Thus, I'll highlight this one for maintenance.

With no muggles around the cache was found quickly. The tallest member of the family retrieved the cache. The log was signed and then the cache was replaced as found. Thank you Rheneas for placing this cache.

The lid has come off this one, but that just made it easy to retrieve with my pen. I was just tall enough. And no one was kung fu fighting while I was there. TFTC

TFTC! Quick find, even at nighttime! Left a little something in there...

Awesome hiding spot! I'm vertically challenged and had to get a bit of help!

Good hiding place. Spotted by our middle daughter.

Found with BCF. We took our grand-daughter Lucy for the 1st time. BCF made the spot of the well blend in container. SL T- picture flowers I liked near by. L- on down the trail. TFTC Peace

First find in AU with our Down Under GD. Good hide for her first find.

Our first find! That was fun! Thank you

No one believed me

Very fast found;)
Tftc

Dieser Geocacher hat gemeldet, dass das Logbuch voll ist.

Hard spot to take it out from! But great work

Our first find!

Really good hiding spot

Solid spot

Great hide, not for the vertically challenged.

Just did the park run at the ponds and now some caching in the area and slowly make my way towards Liverpool. Once there it's back on the water!
For now here it was a quick and straight forward find.

Original hiding location has been damaged so relocated it to a similar location about 7 meters away.

Quick look around and found, not at GPS point.

TFTC, maybe not placed as intended but managed to CIH, did my duties and on to the next one.

Didn’t find this time round.

Fast as lightning!

Out today for a few local ones that I missed or have gone down since I was out this way last. 14 for the day. TFTC

Nice camo! Lucky my husband is tall and he could reach it.

You will need a tall person for this.

Happy hunting

found with the geo fam while tracking clues to solve the mystery at the museum thanks for the cache

Find number 4600
A quick find with Mrs Booo spotting the cache as we approached GZ.


Thanks Rheneas for placing this cache.

After attending the geocaching event *Australia WWFM XVI - Piece Out at The Ponds* I stayed in the area for a bit more caches.
I remember the Kung-Fu craze, with a serie *Kung Fu* starring Devid Carradine as the Grasshopper. And then there was Karl Douglas with his hit-single.

At this cold winter day the place was deserted so I could feel and poke everywhere. Soon I had CIH.
