Needs replacing

I'm tipping this went some time ago.

Was passing through so thought I would give it ago even those it had been marked as did not find.

We found a red tube that possibly could of had a log in it but there was not log in it and it was broken

Not in any of the hiding spots you expect for this area

Hmm

No luck this time.

Completely missed it, searched another likely spot.... Nope.... Try again OMG.... Lol got it!

Nice hide in natural camo. Quiet little park area

Found by geomum after school holidays lunch at the nearby RSL. Cheers

looked in the wrong spot at first as the phone led me there then found the correct location & spotted the cache TFTC

#732 - Looking 4 Cache iPad App

This was the second of 4 finds for the day. After finding 'Cavanagh Reserve near The White House',Geomum and I headed for this cache as it fills in a missing month in the Jasmer calendar. We parked right near the start of the cycle track and watched as the numbers counted down when heading to GZ. I spotted a couple of places where the cache could be located but no luck. It is always tricky in such areas as the GPS tends to be placed between objects. Nevertheless, I picked the closest object and looked all over until I spotted a possible spot and Geomum retrieved the cache. After signing and returning the log, I placed a piece of camo over the cache to prevent exposure. TFTC.

No. 789

*The Calendar Cacher - Sapphire*

I grabbed this one early this morning on the way to work. Nice area, didn't take too long thankfully. Replaced as found. TFTC!

Really liked this hide!

We don't know this area that well, so it was nice to some here and see that there is an extensive path system and plenty of green spaces. Unusually, this one was found quickly by Mr MR. SL TFTC

Strangely, YGAT, who had the GPSr was looking elsewhere. Without technological assistance, I just checked a likely spot and had CIH. Thanks contactpete.

The co-ordinates were spot on for this cache and we just had to retrieve it while the nearby muggles were sitting and talking.This was done, the log was signed and everything was returned without drawing their attention to what we were doing. Thanks to contactpete for placing this cache and for the hunt.

This cache was found quickly and easily in the first place that was checked. The log was signed and the cache was replaced as found. Thank you contactpete for placing this cache.

Arrived at what I thought was GZ and searched most of the nearby trees before coming back to the first tree I arrived at and spot a well hidden cache. Nice one Pete. TFTCM

#894 with a little bit of rain about decided to have a second go at this cache. The first time the GPSr had me walking from tree to tree & in the end it was getting dark so I went home. This time I left my GPSr at home & decided to go after this one as I was driving passed. So walked to where I thought GZ as walked around. On the girst lap of one tree spotted something out of place and had cache in hand. Signed the log and replaced as found. Thanks for the cache contactpete

Quick find. Cache all good. Thanks

A quick find with Trillian

Found it on a sunny Saturday while in the area. Of course I looked at the obvious before finding something out of the ordinary. TFTC

Not where I thought it would be. Have to keep looking

Found.TFTC. I'm sure I looked there first, only had to turn on geoeyes then CIH.

The pile of sticks had us all fooled...then I read a previous log to figure out it was a red herring. Then is was just a matter of opening out eyes. TFTC.

Found with geodad and ZoNic. It had us fooled into it being muggled for a few minutes.TFTC.

That was a tricky one.

Upon arrival to GZ, there is a obvious hiding spot however, you had to look more carefully. After a few minutes, I spotted this sneaky one. TFTC

Very quickly noticed something suspicious. Had to watch out for some really big ants but soon had CIH. Beautiful park. Master Q enjoyed helping with the log; )

Tftc

Needed a nice quck find between jobs for my calendar. Saw the decoy, but quickly found the cache before the school kids started walking through. TFTC.

Arriving at GZ I immediately spotted the cache - I thought. But no, that was not it. Circling around for a while I finally found the little bugger, in a place I had already searched in once.

#3013 (1 of 2 today) (Streak day 363)

Only three days to go to have my 366 day streak - can't stop now!
going to see DAAS at The Enmore - haven't seen them live before - so with dinner before the show, and visiting my mother in the afternoon, I need to get out sooner rather than later.

Went for two caches close to eachother and found both, despite muggle fly-bys at one.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
First target today, and after entering the park with no one in sight I found I was being followed before I even got to GZ.

The iPhone was being pretty confident, pointing to one spot and one only, but I had to wander enjoying the trees until he left.
At GZ I spotted something obvious and checked it - nothing. Hmmm - but I had noticed similar at a similar spot on my wanderings. Then just as I spotted something suss and had almost made the grab a father and two daughters turned up, so wandered away again until they'd gone through.

Back to GZ and made the grab - annoying the big black ants that may well be nesting there in the process.

Took away to complete signing duties - no one walking past now, but when I went for the replace, just got t back - avoiding the swarming ants - and another muggle comes past.

Luckily I was free to move away to my next target... What a to do!

I had to wait for my GPSr to boot up so I went on a search of the area based on my prior memories of the cache notes. I found the false camo at the real location as well as at others. When the device finally kicked in I returned to where I had already searched and proceeded to let my eyes 'do the walking'. A telltale slither of the tether was sited and some camo removed to find the cache. This is one where good eyes are the searching tool.

With the coordinates narrowing down the search area it was a matter of dismissing the obvious and then a thorough search revealed the hide.

TFTC.

Setting out a search pattern for the 18/5, I came across this cache only to see that for some reason I never logged my find on it on the 6/5... An easy find if I remember correctly.

We scratched our head for a moment when an obvious camo hide turned out to be an obvious decoy. But we thought it might be a clue that we were at the right spot, so we looked about, although we still didn't spot it. Then I read a couple of logs where I found a very good hint, and just as I read it out, the WaywardWoman spotted it. I retrieved and signed it. Thanks

#3600- Not far from "Come fly with me" we continued on to this one. I had been expecting an actual war memorial near by, but didn't spot one.
Like others before us, we noticed the tell tale signs of an easy find, which was not to be. Once we studied the spot more in my line of sight a bit more, we found the little cache. Thanks

I left work later than usual and so it was already dark. I knew Snoopy was going to do this cache today so I thought if I ran into problems at least I would have a PAF. As I was about to turn down the street I noticed the car in front of me was indicating to turn as well, then I noticed I was actually behind dave8153 and he was on his way to meet up with snoopy to find the cache as well. Reminded me of Muriel's Wedding - What a coincidence! Anyway the 3 of us walked down the path to GZ and after a short search snoopy came up with the goods. SL #2627 on streak day #1399 TFTC

4/5/16. 11:26 AM. Cache #3814.
4th of 5 this morning - Granville, Prospect, Seven Hills & Schofields.

Only a very short drive here from "Come fly with me....". As I approached GZ, I noticed some possible camo. Lifted this and scratched about but nothing. A little more looking around and then made the find. Signed and replaced. One more for the day, "Horcrux #1 - Diary". TFTC.

Found it today after work with Snoopy1976 and RIS768. TFTC Contactpete

TB visit

In the area to find one that was published today I was just around the corner from this other newbie. So the 2 from 2 this afternoon. And my streak continues. TFTC.

A rainbow lorikeet was quietly whistling, and watching at me from a branch above gz while I looked for the cache. It must have seen it placed or found before me and was trying to remain inconspicuous.
Thanks for the cache

Published

FTF at 11:27AM
Saw this cache published close to home so went and claimed the FTF
The log was still fresh! The log was all brand new as I signed the log
TFTC conactpete

Wow! Very small.I didn't even see the fishing line until after I had pulled out out.

Just be careful ! There is broken sharp glass. below. Jogged the 120m to GZ, to find a nicely constructed hide, thanks for the quick one, Contactpete
