A DNF for us but we did get busted by part of team webguy. Thanks for letting us know it appears to be missing. We moved onto the next one in the park. Only to find it has previously been DNF so looked remainder of park area and decided not to bother. TFTC
Out and about on this 34° day gathering a few more smilies while back in the area to visit my son.
This guy was on my list to look for today and after parking close by wandered over and started to look for this guy.
I found the cache but not where you intended as the heat has loosened the magnet and it now is inside the container. I have found that glueing on the outside does not last and have has great success with placing them inside and using duck tape to hold them in place. This also applies to Sistema's.
There are also better magnets available or the best magnets are those that you find in old hard drives.
Thanks dolphia.

Parked across the road and wandered over.
Spotted it but waited for a break in traffic to retrieve. Signed log and returned as found.
Walking back to the car a vehicle pulled up behind and 2 people got out. Mrs and son from Team Webguy stopped to say hi! TFTC

Walking around the park while in the area collecting these caches. Quick find and SL. TFTC.
And I say again...having been with on a walk with the CO a week or so ago, I knew where this one was to be...and it was. TFTC
We(Sevbo & Dolphia) were really enjoying the drive out here today, Dolphia's Maintenance-Container has gone missing so a new one is in place. Thanks to Dolphia. Sevabo has been here before.
Couldn't find it despite being within 1 metre of it. Think someone has removed it
Found the cache but on the ground in a brutally muggled condition. Returned to likely hiding place.
Cache was found on the ground and tin was crushed, see auszxplorer post for pics. Managed to open it up to retrieve log and signed. Probably needs maintenance
This was the last stop on my circumnavigation of Mark Leece Park and for the first time this afternoon, I encountered a muggle in the vicinity of GZ and had to hold off searching until a man and his dog had walked on by. Like the other caches here, this was a pretty straightforward find though I had to make a couple of laps of GZ before the cache (which, in the fading afternoon light blends into its surrounds pretty well) caught my eye. Thanks for the smiley dolphia, and also for creating a nice caching oasis here in St Clair for us to enjoy.

My last find for the day, on a 45 km bike ride through suburbia. Easy find. No one was around, except for a group of playful puppies who had obviously escaped from a yard. They took off through the park, hopefully they got home safely after their fun.
Thanks

This was the only find for the day. I had previously located this cache but I couldn’t sign the log without an appropriate tool given I am vertically-challenged. Today, I placed a suitable tool in the car and headed back to GZ. Only a couple of cars passed, so I quickly retrieved the cache, signed the log and replaced the cache. Fortunately, the cars were few and far between and more importantly, no-one stopped to ask what I was doing. SL. TFTC.

We walked all the way down here from "Purple", "Green" and "Black" and found it pretty much straight away. Thanks for the journey. Pretty sure it started raining on the way back to the car.

Another easy find but curious muggle pointed out he's seen people coming by before.

We met up with Phantom Cyclist today to go out and find a few caches and decided to see what we could find in this colourful series. This was a very easy cache to spot before we reached GZ and we needed the tallest of the group to retrieve it. When both parties had signed the log the cache was put back where it had been found. Thank you for bringing us to this area and thank you for placing this cache for us and other cachers to find.
Had no problems in finding this cache. We signed the log and replaced as found. Found while out with goingplaces2. Thanks dolphia for placing this cache.
After work today I head out this way from Greystanes to pick up a few caches to keep my streak going.
This one took me a little longer then it should have a by reading a few past logs I stood at the right Angle and bingo. The magnet is still there but no long attached the the cache. I sign and put it back in place, hopefully it will stay there. TFTC. Now to the black.

21/2/16. 10:46 AM. Cache #3535. Streak day #609.
6th of 10 this morning - St Clair & Erskine Park.
Like yesterday, another Penrith Plunder. In 50 minutes, I managed 10 finds, 0 DNFs and 0 PAFs - gotta be happy with that! Started with this Mark Leece Park series; all 6 in around 20 minutes. Nothing specific to add about these so it'll be a copy/paste log. Did the order Cream, Maroon, Green, Brown, Black, Grey. TFTC.

Grey, oh yeah now I remember, these where those nice hides around that sport field. They were well hidden yet still easy enuff to find that I didnt look sus. Stealth was easy to accomplish and no attention was paid to us because of the casualness which we applied. Tftc
I had to leave the cache this morning because as soon as I pulled up two high school kids showed up to wait for a bus. So I shot off to the white cache and came back for a muggle free search later on.
A quick find with no one to bother me.

I love this little series as I don't have to go too far out of my way when driving home from work, makes keeping my streak going a bit easier. Bit of a random structure. SL #2310 on streak day #1303 TFTC
A quick and easy cache is just what i needed. Earlier today i led a group of abseilers down Empress Falls just before the big Comercial groups crowded the canyon. I had a few people on the trip which i was unsure of their skills, but we all got out with no problems. All in all, a good day.
Thanks for the cache.

#3483- Today we didn't have the luxury of bikerbuddy's GPS, with all the bells and whistles, as it has decided not to work at the moment. So mine had to suffice- it got us there nicely though. Once there we missed this well camoed cache a few times before bikerbuddy's advantage spotted it. They are old, sad looking structures aren't they. Noticed another on our way as we headed off to the park on the other side of the M4. Thanks
The first two dolphia caches we did today were instant finds, but this one eluded us for a minute or two. For a moment I was willing to convince myself that the cache was no longer there. Then I spotted it and I realised how easy it was to see, but how easy it also was to miss at a quick glance. Thanks
Had a bit of spare time in the area, so I thought how better to utilise that time than to do a series of cache hides.
Black to Grey. Saw something out of the corner of eye that needed another look. Signed and replaced.
Thanks for this little series dolphia.

Today I was able to walk straight to the cache as it was definitely not here the other day, I must have been too quick following the posting of a new cache in the area.

#2616 (4 of 7 today) (Streak day 248)
Was about to head out in the heat of the late morning when today's new caches were published. And the closest was 25 kilometres away!
OK, if I don't get there first there are a number of other caches I can grab to make the trip worthwhile.
Didn't get the First2Find, but got a lift around a few other caches in or near the park thanks to Team Webguy.
Then grabbed three more on a roundabout way home - including avenging a previous DNF.
[center]END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION[/center]
Final find of the day with Team Webguy.
Again we started looking in different spots and it turned up on my watch. Simple hide, I was dreading something sneakier.
Third quick find in the heat.
We completed signing duties and then he gave me a lift back to The Hademobile.
Great to meet you today, and thanks for the lift - I'd probably have walked two of the three because I'm crazy!
