Out after dinner for a couple of caches, but unfortunately this one was a dnf... Lots of broken glass around GZ so I'm thinking it might have been muggled, maybe a check might be in order
Second trip north in a week for family functions, took a quick detour along a different road to tick off some more smilies. Park a lot more barren than what I was expecting but helped narrow down possible options for a quick grab. Just glad it wasn’t in or near the tree swarming with a beehive!
Nice easy find in an area that I have never been to before. Did the legals and replaced as found. TFTCM

Easy find, cache was sitting out in the open. Tried to rehide at that tree. Lots and Lots of glass here from broken bottles. Maybe change the location or clean up the mess. Not good for kids here. TFTC.
It was a little difficult to find but found it adventurely . Inleft something there and was a good find
Pretty quick easy find on a cold winters afternoon whilst waiting for an appointment near by. TFTC
After coming here a few days ago and trying out the new caching app with zero success i contacted a couple of pafs. Today i brought my GPS and it took me straight to GZ with a quick find of the cache. Signed log and had a laugh at the monkey as our nieces were playing with this on their last visit. Returned as found. TFTC

The girlfriend was helping with netball rego nearby so i thought I'd be a good partner and help by staying out of her way. TFTC the shade from the trees was a godsend in todays heat
A quick find today after we decided to avoid the other near by caches. Was a little expose. So covered back up.

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.
While walking over to this cache I found a red biro so as I normally use one of these guys it will come in handy.
I was a little wary of a couple of plovers who were in the area of GZ but they moved on with my arrival.
Thanks jaytime0 for placing this cache.

Quick cache while in the area picking up a year 12 book for the daughter. Easy find and SL. TFTC.
We(sevabo & dolphia) were really enjoying the drive out here today & finding a few caches. Sevabo has been here before. This was a nice quick easy one. Thanks.
Swooping birds had my heart jumping out of my chest! Had to take a branch as my shield but my boys been freaking out so we had to leave! Boo! Lol
Watch out for a very persistent magpie when finding this cache...it was relentless!
Find 1980, and celebrating the years of my life. Great music albums for me from 1980 was Queen - The Game, Kansas - Audiovisions, Alan Parsons Project - The Turn of a Friendly Card and...Rush - Permanent Waves. TFTC

Decided to go on a hunt at night with the girlfriend, found it using only a torch! Returned back no normal after signed.
It was such a nice sunny day that we decided to go out at lunchtime to find a couple of caches. This was the first of three we picked up. The hide was quickly spotted but its size and nature was a bit of a surprise.
Nice one, thanks jaytim0.

It's a nice park but a bit wet underfoot but we made it to GZ for a quick find. SL TFTC
Out on a morning cache run with JJCC around St Clair and Penrith. In total we picked up nine caches with another two DNFs.
Driving around from collecting some of the Mark Leece Park series, we parked in MacArthur Drive and walked over to GZ. After a five minutes search we checked the cache hint and spotted the container soon after...not what we were looking for initially. With the cache safely in hand we both signed the log before replacing as found. Both the cache container and log are in good condition.
The following TBs came through for the mileage - Bob geoMinion, Dave geoMinion, Evil geoMinion, Jerry geoMinion, Larry geoMinion, Stuart geoMinion, teamMerlin's 7 Deadly Ducks Tag (Lust), Vanlith The Youngling.

Quick park n grab with DJBOA. Droped off a long held trackable. Happy to finally move it on.
What a head scratch, this was definitely monkey business, thanks for leading me astray
With time to spare on my way to Penrith this afternoon, I decided the time was right to detour into St Clair and knock over the cluster of caches residing here. This was a pretty straightforward find, though my GPSr initially directed me to place where I could find no obvious signs of a cache. Checking my GPSr, I found that it had been playing silly buggers before, and now was directing me to another structure 15m away. So there I went ... and immediately saw the tell tale signs of a hidden cache ... eureka!! Thanks for the cache jaytim0, and for the smiley.

Bikerbuddy & I rode here from Penrith where our car was being serviced. From the name of this cache I was regretting not brining my monkey Girl along, as she does my tree climbing for me. But she wasn't needed today.
Thanks

This was the only find for the day. I am slowly clearing caches in this area and I wanted a quick find. This cache fit the bill so I headed off. I parked as close as I could and walked to GZ. This cache was actually deceptively tricky to find as there were several ideal hiding spots. Then I realised the size of the cache which eliminated the issue of the cache possibly going missing. Sure enough, I found some strategically placed camo and I then had CIH. SLTNLN. TFTC.

It was decided that we would go out again for a couple more caches with Phantom Cyclist. This one ws a very quick and easy find as there were very few places it could be hiding. After both parties had duly 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.
Found this cache while out with goingplaces2. We both signed the log and replaced as found. Thanks jaytim0 for placing this cache.
Come back to day to finish what nonstarter yesterday before being called away. This will
Keep the streak going. As I approached GZ I could see the cache on the ground about a foot away from a tree. I signed the log and place the cache back near the tree and covered it with some old bark. The CO may want to check it is back in the right stop. I did my best. TFTC.

Decided to head west today for a round trip before heading off to visit my mother.
Went for four caches and found all four. HUZZAH!
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
A nice empty park - and the kiddies were indoors thanks to the heat. Only issue was one roaming, phoning muggle near the shops, so timed my searches for when he was walking away.
Not sure what I was looking for here, and had half a mind that I might need to climb, given the cache name, but nothing spotted high. Checked the attributes. Hmmm.
So what other options?
Spotted something slightly suspicious - better check...
Well, that was unexpected. Not sure how long it will last, though, but does blend in surprisingly well.
Took well away to complete signing duties, then back for the replace.

This was the first of two caches I found in this area this afternoon. A nice easy find once I got there, although the cache wasn't where I anticipated, based on the name. Thanks
21/2/16. 10:51 AM. Cache #3536. Streak day #609.
7th 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 the Mark Leece Park series; after finding "Grey", I came over here to make another easy find. Off to "Historic Home - Mamre House" next. TFTC.

Monkey business, tftc. No monkey business today, hide was uncovered quickly, signage ensued with a pen.
It was 8pm and I still needed to find my cache for the day, so packed the geodogs + 1 into the car and looked up a nearby cache that had an easy D & T. This one was the closest at just over 15kms ATCF. By the time I got to the park it was now dark, I let the dogs lose as my decoy while I tried to look inconspicuous. Nice easy find. SL #2427 on streak day #1320 TFTC
Found on a lazy day. Nice and easy, especially good after yesterday.
Thanks for the cache.

#3488- In a park like this, I'm not sure how long this one is likely to last. Very obvious even from a distance- thanks.
