Found the likely location and based on the previous logs maybe this is broken and no longer here now. Thanks
Tftc. Very quiet here on Christmas Eve morning, so we could search, but couldn’t find it.
Thanks for the great hide all I found was the broken glass bottle and lid needs maintenance
Out at Penrith this afternoon to see my skin specialists, then after that off to IKEA at Marsden Park so thought I would make a few detour. But no cache here.
Again another DNF, I am reluctant to place a needs maintenance because of ground speaks new rules that alerts a reviewer to disable the cache mentioned so I would advise the CO in this case to go and check if this guy is indeed still there.
Can't find the cache, I think someone has taken it as there is only one obvious place to hide it and it's not there. Request owner to confirm if it's been taken or not
Arrived at GZ, but the muggle neighbours were within a matter of metres of where we wanted to look, so we went for a bit of a walk while they loaded themselves into their vehicle. When they had left we came back to make a very quick find. We were happy to be able to sign the log and replaced the cache where it was found. Thank you to rypatwill for putting this cache into play. All our trackables came to visit Handsome Homer as well.
2/3/17. 12:42 PM. Cache #4803.
4th of 5 finds - Orchard Hills, Caddens, Werrington Downs, Kingswood
Came here after getting the multi "Caddens Quest" down the road a bit. The neighbourhood was nice and quiet, so after checking the hint and confirming it was in the obvious place, I got out of my car, wandered over and quickly spotted the cache.
Blimey! how do I get that? I pondered for a second before using my pen as a handy tool, and then also to sign the log. Replaced the cache in a similar fashion and then headed off to one more cache, "That song by the Fray". TFTC.

Visit to craft group at st marys for few hours then zoom to find few caches... thanks
After grabbing a Vietnamese salad roll for lunch at Kingswood, we drove over to attempt this one. Thankfully, it was quiet at GZ as we didn’t have the GPSr and the phone had us searching some metres away from where we eventually found it. Hmm, should have checked the hint first .
Thanks rypatwill and mikey-n.

Advanced snoopyness required due to muggle factor! Hidden safely found with LovelyLadyLocks
Some days I’m happy to log one smilie and others, especially while on a full day’s caching run, I get obsessed with finishing on a round figure. Even though it was now pitch dark and I still had a two hour drive home, noticed this 1/1/S was nearby and would hopefully satisfy my target. Mission accomplished with number 40 for the day ticked off [^]
The geokids and I picked up this one nice and easily. Gets us some points for geosports.
Out on a morning cache run with JJCC around St Clair and Penrith. In total we picked up nine caches with another two DNFs.
Parking in Fallowfield Court we walked up to Oakland Lane and made a very quick find of the container. With the cache safely in hand we both signed the log further up the path out of sight of any muggles before replacing as found. Both the cache container and log are in good condition. This was our last cache for the morning.
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.

Found it... My first find.. If they are all this easy I'm going to love this game
Parked across the road and noticed both neighbours on either side of the hide were busy out the front. This may be interesting, I just didn't look suspicious and straight up to the hide and back to the car. Looked at both men and they were not aware of my presence, signed and returned all safe, thanks for the quick one.
This cache was a quick and easy find with nobody around. The log was signed and the cache was placed back where it was found. Thank you rypatwill for placing this cache.
Never let a chance go by, the wife asked if I wanted to go caching. A good chance for a drive to and around Jordan Springs to target the four remaining Ev4d's caches.
This was the fifth stop for the afternoon.
Parked next to the lane entry way. Checked the neighbourhood and could see no muggles around. then made a beeline to the lane. Once the GPS settled there was one spot to look and there it was.
Replaced the cache as found after signing the log. tftc
that is cache 990 ten to go for the 1000th

After I found this one I realised I had a muggle watching me the whole time from behind his screen door.. Must have thought I was up to no good... TFTC
A quick find. Fortunately there was nobody around today watching our movements. TFTC
found it easy enough you just need a pen or pencil to get it out and to fill it out
My early morning stealth finally worked this morning. A nice easy find! Thanks TFTC
A quick visit to some friends nearby provided me with an ideal opportunity to pop in here to grab this cache without going out of my way. True to its 1/1 rating, this was a quick and easy find in the first place I looked.
Congratulations on your first hide rypatwill, and may there be many more in the future.

This was the only find for the day. Before work at Western Sydney University, I took a detour to locate this cache. The hint had me a little perplexed but I parked where the navigator indicated I should. Sure enough, I found the item which matched the hint and I soon had CIH. SL. TFTC.

Bikerbuddy & I were in Penrith this evening to watch Deadpool, and decided to find a cache before heading home. When we got to this one, we hesitated, thinking that looking for a cache by torchlight right next to houses was not a good idea. But we gave it a try, and luckily found it quickly so that we could get out of there.
Not the most practical cache container, hopefully no one drops it.
Thanks

“Push!” I told Toriaz. “Come on, push!”
“I think I need to pull it,” she said, sitting back to examine me, lying on the bed.
Curse this infernal woman, I thought. Doesn’t she normally do this everyday? I grabbed at the spandex suit and gave it a tuck, and she leaped forward with renewed enthusiasm to help me get my new super hero suit – vibrant red with a shiny sheen – over my backside. But it just wasn’t working. The fat layers rolled up like the skin of a hush puppy and formed a brake that was unsurpassable.
“This is humiliating,” I said. “Everyone is going to the cinema as a superhero. What will they say when I wear the chaff bag again?”
Toriaz was determined to be cheery. “They’ll say that you are the best wearer of chaff bags this side of Springfield.”
I looked at her.
“You’re saying I’m fat,” I challenged her.
“No … It’s just that ….”
“I wanted to be your DeadPool for the opening of the movie. But you think I’m a Fat Fool like Homer Simpson.”
“Well, you haven’t been on the bike much…”
Well that did it. I scoffed my last donut and marched out of the house. We’ll see who’s a fat fool, I thought, as we drove to this cache. I insisted on finding it before the movie. All the way Toriaz kept trying to interrupt me, but I zipped her mouth and threw away the key and soon we were there, ready to find Handsome Homer, my new namesake, and DeadPool be damned.
Toriaz had given up trying to speak. I left her in the car to grasp triumph on my own.
“Yes!!!” I cried triumphantly as I held the cache aloft for Toriaz to see. And as she turned to face me, horror stricken from the car, a light from a nearby house winked on, and the cache glinted like minted steel in all its glory.
It was then I heard the child screaming.
“Mummy, there’s a man outside with his pants down!” And then in the frozen moments of realisation that followed, lights winked on around the houses and curtains were drawn.
Well that’s the draft I’m knocking up for the police statement, at least. In the meantime, can anyone reading this who’s seen the movie drop me a line and let me know what they thougt. Thanks.

A very quick find while the streets were quiet, I could heat some conversations from the surrounding houses.
Be careful with the cache container as it may break if not careful.
Thanks for the cache.

I needed a nice easy one to keep the streak going as I didn't have the stamina to anything too difficult so I chose this cache. On the way I stopped at the local Caltex to fill up and noticed a girl with her bike. Don't know why I noticed her. Anyway drove to the cache and found it immediately SL #2412 on streak day #1305. Nearly got busted by a kid on a scooter returning the cache as he snuck up behind me so had to walk down the walkway. Eventually I came back and he had disappeared so I returned the cache just before the girl on the bike showed up. She went down the walkway and parked her bike and the stared at her phone and started walking around in circles. I decided to wait to see if she was a cacher and sure enough she made her way back to GZ. I didn't wanted to muggle her out so I drove off. Looking at the recent logs I'm sure I had spotted GeoKatCat. TFTC
