Okay, I think it's time to put this one to bed. I can't get the size of container I want back in the same position without compromise.

This one is still hanging in there. After a recent find in a similar location, I may have to engineer something similar.

Still on the radar, working through some logistics

Replacement coming soon.

Have been carrying a new container around with me for a few weeks now just haven't made it to the spot to replace. It's on track, just have to move a few other trains out of the way.

This one will come back online, but an alternate container may be required.

Still waiting for a chance to check this one. Sorry for the delay.

Still working this one out

Will check on this one today. May have to reconsider the size here.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time please be sure to **post a note** (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date, if you do not then you cache may be archived without further note from a reviewer. Caches archived due to lack of maintenance are no longer unarchived and you will need to submit a replacement as a new cache.

No luck here

No luck here

Couldn't find this one

Searched around the area but was unable the find. Hopefully it is still here.

I came on a bad day. It was raining and the dirt was soaking wet. And im a bit anxious and scare of getting my hands dirty so i didn't do very well. But it seems very fun.

Okay, i know exactly where it is but unless it had a thousand dollars in it im not gonn risk getting bitten by that damn spider

No luck for us here today and we thought we scoured both potential locations. We also saw the redback guardian but she wasn't guarding anything that we could find. Nice to see muggle kids and families out enjoying the sunshine here. Will have a think and return another day. Cheers... Gaztek

Finally found the time to revisit this cache and found it the first place I looked.

Cheers Ziggiau foe replacing and tftc

Interesting hint! TFNC

ziggiau I found your cache Alone With You on 9/2/19, 1:10 pm. This is my find 2262 and find # 7 today. A little bit of a search, 1st around the wrong area then once I trusted the coordinates it wasn’t long before I had the CIH. Thanks for the cache! TNSLLN

TFTC
Trip home from work and a detour west.
Beautiful park, looked at the hint and collated my bearings, is it south or north? Hahahaha

Got there in the end.
Cheers

After an airport drop off, detoured for a few caches on the way home. Arrow and clue narrowed down GZ quite quickly though only spotted actual cache from a different angle just as I was about to give up finding the standard spot empty and I was starting to feel conspicuous. Not that there were many muggles about other than the police car I had parked behind. Looks too nice an area for trouble.

Well well well, what do we have here? A cache by ziggiau! Working up the road in Campsie, decided to have a coffee and lunch break in the neighbouring Clemton Park Shopping Village. Thought I’d check the app while l was there and low and behold a cache nearby! Dressed in my camo (work gear!) I hope l blended in enough to not cause too much attention. I unfortunately did not have a pen or pencil (tsk tsk I’m a bad surveyor!) on me so I’ve taken a photo to send to the CO as proof. Thanks Ziggiau for this cache and for the history lesson you’ve given - tour guide status

No luck today. I spent about 20 mins searching the area but ended up with nothing.
I did at one point think i had spotted it but it turned out to be a camo’d blue pen lid.
Had a bit of trouble with GPS canyoning and muggle cubs and parents as well.
Ill try again another day.

TFTC

Quick find it’s still there

Have searched and searched for this one. We are in the right spot as per our photo and Kunama photo but no cache???

14:00 nice rosemary bushes providing an interesting countersmell to the fertilizer and hiding me from the prying eyes of families in the playground. A few ppl doing laundry this afternoon, none paying any attention. Curiously empty cache, so left a pen and a bottle opener.

Still early,so muggles weren't an issus. Lots of housing here. TFTC

Found with a big spider guarding it. Great place here. Thanks for the cache.

Took a slight diversion on my way to work today, jumping off the M5 at Kingsgrove Road, to grab a few caches at Campsie, Clemton Park, and Earlwood. This was the 1st of 4 finds, and 1 DNF, for the day.

After failing to find “Pleasure and Pain” over at Campsie I next arrived at this one. Parked the geomobile in Victa Street, then wandered up between the towering apartment blocks to GZ. And thanks to the helpful hint it was a nice quick find. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found.

It’s a nice little park for the residences of the apartment blocks to relax in. TFTC ziggiau.

Find #2296

Amazing area, thanks for placing in this location. Quick find with BMX501. TFTC!

Found with my geofriend, the Boblets TFTC

Came back a second time as determined to find it and was successful! Just needed to crouch down a little further

Sadly did not find it today - looked through the rosemary but came up empty

Neat one...

Container replaced - cache on!

Went to check out this one as I have found it before (no idea on the date) to check when I first logged my visit seeming it currently state's I havent found it for some reason? But unfortunately its no-where to be found. I am sending the cache owner a PM now to see if they can check up on it.

Unfortunately No luck today, when me and my friend looked for more than an hour in all the spots that were a potential spot for a cache, could be hidden.
Whilst we were looking we noticed that there were sand and pebbles lined along the sides under the small bridge showing that Kids have been playing in the area (as it is right next to a park) The kids may have found it and taken the cache whilst playing there.
The co should please check the cache.

Did what the hint said but all I came up with was a blue biro top and an arm smelling of rosemary which is quite nice.

Might have to try another day

Took my mother Geocaching for the first time. I think she may become addicted yet. Nice easy find for a first timer.

With a day off and the loan of some wheels it was time for a well overdue caching day for me and the geopooch. As soon as I saw the cache title I knew it was a fab ziggiau cache-LOVED the Sunnyboys! No trouble with this one even though my compass isn't working-thank you for the hint! Geopooch enjoyed wandering around this grassy square and I could search in peace knowing she couldn't walk into/fall off anything due to her poor eyesight these days. Thanks for the cache ziggiau!

Not a lot of time today so when heading back between appointments dropped in here. A few muggles about but just waited them out until it was clear to make the grab. Certainly a lot of development. We completed the signing duties and re hid. TFTC

TFTC!

Find #53
What a great location for a cache!

After parking midway between this cache and "a small park tucked away in Canterbury" we walked up to this new development. It was such a contrast seeing the old houses then this new area. Thanks for the history about this location.

Arriving at the park, I was surprised to see that the kiddies and myself were actually alone with the cache! This made finding it a breeze but as soon as we were finished signing and swapping duties we looked up to find a muggle convention in the area. Where did they all come from? So it was time for a play on the equipment while waiting for them to disperse enough so that the cache could be returned to its hiddy hole. Then it was off to our next cache.
Thanks for another great cache ziggiau

I made my way here from Cup and Saucer, which was quite tricky as the streets around this new area of units don't appear on my new street directory. Anyway I found the place and remarkably managed to get the nearest parking spot to GZ.

I've never been to Clemton Park before although it was an area my mother spoke of from her childhood as she went to school not far away, sadly it has been closed down and made way for other developments. There was also a guy who came to our holiday location when I was a kid and he lived here, so it was interesting to see the area, both old and new.

I walked over towards GZ. Alone With You - not likely! There lots of muggles at the coffee shop, mother muggles sitting around chatting on phones, kids riding bikes over the bridge and around the green space and others chasing each other on the grass plus more muggles walking by. I guess that was to be expected as it was close to lunch time.
I sat as directed by the hint and tried to do what was suggested but had no luck so there was just one thing for it, duck for cover where I hoped I'd be able to see it. Chose my moment carefully and was soon out of sight. I know no one saw as the games continued and the bikes kept going over the bridge and no one checked where I was. A bit of a look at likely places and then I saw it, on the ground, not really hidden at all. Lucky spotting! Just as well as I'm not sure my knees would have lasted.
Signed the log and visited some TBs then I placed the cache back up out of sight and matching the hint for the next cacher.

Cache # 1892

Easy find after knowing the 1 metre place. Very muddy cache.

Cool cache! Found after looking in the exact spot for ages! But anyway, liked the surroundings and the nice playground. Lots of muggles crossing looking at the find so be careful! TFTC

My inner troll was helping today. First spot I looked.

Found it!
TFTC

Worked in a few caches during a trip through the inner-west.
This was 6th of 10 finds (and 1 DNF) for the day.
- - -
On every (rare) occasion when I drove past, the area was teeming with muggles: spilling out of the coffee shop, playing in the playground or just sunning on the lawn.
But not today. Cafe was closed ( _I love public holidays!_ ) and the gloomy weather meant not a muggle--soul about.
TFTC ziggiau

Bad day to park - found quickly with AWTYOW and Dwight Shrute

Quick stop on the way to visit my mum. What a horrible place to park on a weekend! Apart from the parking the apartments seem nice and the cache was a quick find. I still prefer to have my own backyard though so back to the outer suburbs I go! TFTC!

Quite a nice park! Found the cache quite quickly with geogangstas. TFTC

No. 768

Grabbed this one this morning on my way to work. Didn't take too long. Replaced as found. TFTC!

What a good developement. I have been a bit lazy since a trip to Queensland where I found quite a lot of caches. Was driving home past here and remembered there was one here. TFTC ziggiau

We are on a short holiday from QLD and wanted to grab some loved caches before heading home. Thank you CO for placing. Left our mark and hid back in its place. Left some fairy dust.

Trolling about trying to make my cache find for the day, bit have to keep going further and further each day to find another one.
At least this one wad easy to find.
Thanks for the cache.

New buildings going up everywhere. Loved the Sunnyboys and loved the song. Thanks for the memories. Sat where I had to with happy Jackie and did what the clue said and made find. Thanks

Love the history on the cache page associated with this spot. Just after dusk I got here and with the hint soon had the cache all sorted. Off to the game! TFTC!

A definite yellow vest, clipboard cache.

Quick find for the geokiddies... nice spot. Tftc

Another quick find for the night once my gps settled down

GPS was throwing me off a bit to start but thought about obvious spot and yep there it was.

TFTC Ziggiau

If I were a troll I wouldn't want to live where so many muggles looked down on me every day! I found this one at a time of day when there were very few people outside. TFTC ziggiau

Quick and easy find with now a non-muggle!
Welcome to Skywalker.

I wandered about feeling foolish, with nothing to show for my efforts, then I read the hint again and it made more sense, oh! over there...

I looked about the place and wondered why people live in places like this, to me it looks like a jail where people are allowed out on day release...

Found it,

Very creepy spot and noticed that a small pack of red back spiders were living in it.


Scared the poop out of me but finally manage to sign the logs and leave.


TFTC

A quick find. Left some crayons

I was lurking around trying to find the seat in the playground but it wasn't there!

It was the first time I did it on my own

Freaking out theehole time lucky early sunday morning notmany people around

Finding parking was harder than finding the cache!?!

TFTC.

Peaked through an opening on the side when strolling around. Nice and quiet place to hang around.

TFTC

Just moved to this area with my kids from Victoria so thought we'd come exploring today. Nice little park, wish I lived in a place like this. TFTH

Ahh, big brother episode, where's the camera, spooky.
Walked into the lion's den without any lions, closer I walked to GZ, I knew where it must be.
CIH, in my first spot to check, thanks ziggiau

This is a clever little cache. I didn't actually find it at all!! I was there, caching with ziggiau and kangadrew72 but I was on the playground equipment getting dizzy on those spinny rides. Kangadrew72 had found the cache after a quick two minute look, we signed the log and put the cache back in the correct spot. TFTC!!!

I stopped by the local area for dinner with the CO who is a personal friend of mine going back well over 20 years now... Boggles the mind it does... In any case, we have over the past few sojourns to Sydney also indulged our passion for caching... Tonight was no different as Ziggiau took me on a quick tour of her local caches.

And so I and Dingoman007 aka Geoson to Ziggyau, went on a quick search. Well, I went searching and DM played on the local playground equipment.

As we got closer to GZ, my grossness started tingling and I knew where I had to look. I sat down at an appropriate place and searched as only one in that situation can do. Soon, cache was located and after a quiet stretch, all was in hand.

A bold placement indeed for this area is surrounded by seemingly hundreds of possible muggle watching lookouts. And yet, signed, sealed and replaced the cache was and TBs appropriately visited.

Thanks for the fun here and the history of the local area. With the new shopping centre soon to be completed, I am certain that this cache will be more popular!

Felt like I was being watched....even though this was a quiet area, I nearly got booked for illegal parking (facing wrong way) Luckily I got back to my car just as the GreyGhost was about to book me. Luckily I have a happy trusting face.

TFTC

Take a load off and enjoy the grass.TFTC

Found it easily once I worked out where to sit. Followed the hint and soon has CIH. Not many muggles about the courtyard but you get the feeling that there are many prying eyes watching from all around you and above! Having grown up nearby, I remember the Sunbeam factory well. I am amazed at the size of this new residential site. I never knew this is what became of the site. Well maintained quadrangle for the locals to enjoy. TFTC. TNLNSL. #312

Huge new development but the place was deserted today

#2647 (1 of 7 today) (Streak day 260)

I don't travel east for caches as much as I go west - less traffic issues - but decided that there were caches still to be grabbed here, and it's my duty to grab them!
A mixed day - found seven, couldn't really attempt two and didn't find two.

And it's always nice to go to the beach...
[center]END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION[/center]
Started here and while the iPhone was pointing a little bit away, there was one obvious spot. Pity about all the worker muggles having lunch.

Luckily, it was a quick find where I expected - and they were far enough away it wasn't a problem.
Completed signing duties and replaced.

Had a look at the interesting installations re the products manufactured here. Must admit I felt as if I was being watched by someone from one of the many balconies.

Wouldn't it be nice if all high rise property development in Sydney were like this. There is actual community space! Thanks for bringing me here.

Tftc. Talk about muggle city. Kids and their parents everywhere!! Had to be particularly sneaky here this evening.

Found!!

Muggles Muggles everywhere ! So noisy with loads of kids running around screaming and shrieking.... But what a lovely little development ! Really love the village feel.

Geoteen and I pretended we were stretching on the ledge while she quickly ducked out of view and made the find. Hint : it's not the Rat bait box !

12/1/16. 3:25 PM. Cache #3364. Streak day #569.
**FTF** #141.
1st of 2 today - Campsie & Oatley.

New cache publishes this month so far had been always at inappropriate times, and with a camping holiday coming up next week, I was starting to wonder if I was going to get one for Jan '16 and keep the consecutive months rolling along. So, for the past couple of days, instead of going out early to get my daily streak-saver, I'd stay home and leave it until the afternoon. But none came yesterday and I went out after 5. Still none today by 2:30 either, so I thought I'd head south to Revesby to redeem a previous DNF there from Saturday ("Hide 'n' Cache").

By about 3, I was passing Homebush Bay and the new cache emails started rolling in. Not a bad place to be, the centre of Sydney, I could pretty much head in any direction from there. Checked out where a couple of them were, but passed.

3:08 and I'm only 2kms away from "Hide 'n' Cache" and the email for this one comes up. A ziggiau cache - that must be close! Punched it in and it was only a 12-minute drive away. Yesss! Change of plans, jumped onto the M5 and made it to GZ right on time. Checked I was out of muggle-view and used the hint to make a quick find. Opened to confirm a blank log! Signed & replaced, & took the beautiful turtle TB to move along. With no other new caches all that close, I went for one of my nearest unfounds in Oatley, "Rex's Cache 2". TFTC.

Cache #226

Entered the wrong cord onto my gps and went 1km away from it and had to go back the other way and took longer and since this cache was within 10km I had to try to get FTF but got STF by 45 mins.
