I searched here for a while trying to locate this cache. All the obvious spots and all the trees around GZ.
CO can you sus please when you can.

I'm not sure who Black is, nor what he has to do with this cache? Perhaps he's one of the council workers helping to preserve the natural vegetation in this reserve. Seems he and his fellows are doing a great job of maintaining the "farmers friends" here.
Love that I stumbled upon this vigoro fields series, I wonder how many there are? Also loved the log in this cache, aaah... vigoro and that place, two things I love! TFTC.

Oval was empty so geokids played soccer while we followed the arrow. Soon found what we came for. TFTC xo
Very hot day today and grateful that at least gz was somewhat shaded even though search was reasonably quick once I moved to correct tree. TFTC
A quick find this arvo. Initially head for wrong tree. Followed GPS .. saw camo and made find.
Log dry.
Container good condition.
I normally don't fave this type of cache container but the old school sign in the park plus Lorikeets plus maintenance plus nice location... earns a fp.

When you are on the Great Western Highway parking is a bit of an issue, so taking advantage of having hired a car for the weekend I decided to come out west for some finds. Parked in the next street to the east and walked back for a fairly quick find after the phone had a second think about things, it initially led me to the middle of a clearing! Nobody in the park today, thanks wraacie.
Love the log here. Must use it myself sometime. Needed a cache for the day and found myself here. Lovely little park although it is very dry. Need a bit of rain here.
Thanks wraccie.
Thanks wraccie.
2nd cache for the morning.
I've never played vigoro or even seen it live but my mum used to play and really enjoyed it.
I walked through the Pendle Hill Woodland towards the cache. It was a bit creepy as the wind was so strong and the trees were creaking as I crunched my way across the fallen stuff. Fortunately the cache was a really quick find and I was able to sign the log and visit some TBs, replace the cache and escape from the trees before any branches fell.

Located at 10:04pm. My second find this evening. Glad to see this replaced so I can log a find Спасибо! תודה! L’chaim! TFTC!
Yay for unloved! My apologies to the birds who thought I was a threat and squawked their little heads off while I was looking for the cache. TFTC!
Wanting to cache but not wanting any more numbers before my 2000th find at the mega next week I have done a very overdue maintenance run on all my caches.
This one has been replaced and ready to be found.

#3396 The carbon geobike was not keen on getting the farmers friends, so I got enough for both of us. Nice hide. Many thanks to the CO "wraacie" for establishing and maintaining another local cache.
Found quickly with no one around. Sign the log but my pen stopped working halfway through signing. TFTC.
I love it when a park is totally empty – had the whole place to 1’s self. Took a bit to find but got there in the end. All I can say is for other people I have made a good path for you – all the prickles ended up on my jeans - TFTC / TFTH / SL
Gotta love Geocaching in the rain, the park was deserted, had to dodge the spider web near the cache. The log was nice and dry TFTC
With nobody playing on the field this cache was found quickly and easily. The log was signed and the cache was replaced as found. Thank you wraccie for placing this cache.
I was in the area here this morning and with the playing field empty made for an easy walk to GZ and soon found the camouflaged cache, thanks.
A nice straightforward cache is always a pleasure to find and this one fits in that category. Log was signed, all was placed back and it was back to the geo mobile, trying to dodge all those farmers friends. Thank you to wraacie for telling us about what used to happen here.
I was running early for a meeting with a client just down the road. Perfect opportunity to stop and find a cache along the way.
Had to wait for Aussie to finish playing squash then off we went. Our International Geocaching Day cache after 5 dnf. Aussie picked this one and bingo. Glad it was yours. Tftc cache good. SL
#798 been here a number of times and always had the GPSr wandering around from tree to tree. This time it pointed to one. Took me a little while to spot what should have been obvious. Signed the log and replaced as found. Thanks for the cache wraacie
No. 660
I parked on the street and made my way in to GZ, passing a lone man practicing kicking a football. Approached the cache area and soon had it in hand. Signed and replaced as found, all in good order. TFTC.

Found with Trodectus on way home from visit. Stealthy walking so as not to attract attention from muggles. Quick find after a short search. Log signed and replaced. TFTC
Found with Coybear2000. We arrived just as it was getting dark. There were still some muggles playing on the nearby field. GPS settled on GZ, but nothing was obvious until I pulled out a torch and then we had CIH. TFTC
Out and about for a friend...with some time to spare beforehand, I picked up a few caches. TFTC
This Geocache has it all for master Q and myself. A lovely playground, a bit of forest to walk though and a cache. Perfect afternoon:)
Loved the cache. Very creative:)

Parked on Hazel, walked up the mown strip adjacent the cream colorbond fence and headed in.
This was a quick one but not sure of it's potential longevity.
Thanks for another hide wraacie

Found. Almost had my hand on it before wandering away. Came back and oh why didn't I do that before.
Find Number 3490
The Booo's found this cache!
A short walk to GZ and a brief search once there soon put the cache in Mrs. Booos hands.
After completing the signing duties and returned the cache, we made our way back to the wagon.

Found whilst geoson and mates playing soccer but forgot my pen so will sign log tomorrow. Good clue wraccie!
#3538- Having been out Cobbitty way I headed back home, but not thinking I missed the mountains turnoff so turned right towards the city instead. Oh well- a few more caches perhaps? This one turned up not far away in an area I have all but cleared.
Yes, if you take the mown path, you will almost certainly avoid the grasshoppers, but of course, no... I didn't. Plus my pants seem to attract them like mad. I found the cache then spent half an hour pulling them off. Thanks

I managed to dodge most of the farmers friends and got a quick find, thanks.
Had the entire oval to myself so didn't need to skulk around. After walking through the long grass I got to GZ with 2 legs full of farmers friends. Found the cache easily enough SL #2423 on streak day #1316 TFTC
The cords were accurate and the two possible geotrails at GZ were just convenient cues.

Had to deliver Geoson #3 out west, so thought a quick grab or two would be the ticket for today.
Ended up grabbing two caches by **wraacie** (in the wrong order) with a quick breakfast in
between, and met up with a fellow cacher who left my second find to go to my previous target.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
There are council workers way over the other side of the park, but they should be so far away they'll be oblivious.
Made my way to GZ, through the long grass.
A nice quick find after having to disturb a spider's web. Managed to avoid a large orb weaver's web right next to GZ.
Completed signing duties and replaced. Then back to the cut area. And the workers haven't moved. Is that unusual for council workers?
Now, where is #1? Not here. It's... Oh, that far away. Will grab a bite of breakfast then go for it.

3rd of 3 this morning - Guildford, Greystanes & Girraween, all by wraacie.
Following on from VF#1, I hoped that this one would be just as quick to find. It was. Time to head home. TFTC.

Well i had another couple of caches in mind for today, but they were to fast in the wrong direction for the amount of time I had left before work. This one though, was close enough to call it my second find for the day.
Nice and easy after the wade through the long grass.
Thanks for the cache.

Detoured here on my way to work and at 6am, it's still quite dark.
Was able to make the find just as two muggles entered the park separately from the east and west of the suggested parking waypoint, each with a pooch. I believe if I was 5-10mins later then I would of been muggled out.
Gee, the grass and weeds are thriving at GZ, like painting the harbour bridge but with mowing. Start at one end and when you finish, you start again, thanks Wraacie for the smiley

There I was sitting at home doing my tax, when this came through. the paperwork can wait!
Expected it to have been found already, but I turned up to an empty park. Looked around a bit but soon had CIH & a lovely blank log to sign.
*FTF* at 1245pm. TFTC

On our way elsewhere we thought we should give it a go, but we only ended up fourth. Thanx
