Same frustrations as all previous. Couldn't find anything although knew we were in right place due to yapping dogs.

Don’t know what happened to this cache

Muggled out by noisy dogs

Couldn't find the cache. Started to get annoyed with the yapping dog so I left. TFTC.
 
03-Feb-18
Nope
 
20-Jan-18
I'm surprised I couldn't find a cache large enough for TBs and swappables.

I searched the bushes at GZ and not a container in sight. The yapping dogs got too much & I expected a head to appear over the fence, but no bueno after about 10 minutes.
 
01-Jan-18
No luck today. Yapping dogs didn’t help.
 
26-Dec-17
As I arrived at the park, there was a young family kicking a ball around. I waited a few moments and the toddler stared to throw a tantrum. Perfect moment to descend upon GZ with them distracted! A brisk walk and I was at said forest gum. So as not to attract too much attention I headed for the fence line. That was a mistake. The dogs started barking immediately! I thought I’d have to call off the search when I saw the top of the cache through some camo. Bingo! CIH! Had I not seen that from the right angle, I’d have been there a lot longer. Great little container and log book both in good shape. I left two TBs. TFTC!

Got out this morning to pick up some caches before heading off to attend a family function for the rest of the day. This one did not take too long to find, but the yappy mutts over the fence made it a bit more difficult, as we felt that if we did not find it fairly quickly we would have to leave. Signing duties were completed and we we were happy to leave. Thanks go to adventure-f0x, DarkAvenger-x for this cache placement.
 
12-Dec-17
I looked for half an hour and did not dons anything
 
11-Nov-17
Got muggled out as there were kids playing in the bushes right where the cache was supposed to be. Will be back another time.
 
07-Nov-17
Came for a walk with the geopooch and as we were coming down Kookaburra St I could see the big gum towering over the houses and I knew where I needed to go. Cache was easily spotted on arrival so I signed and replaced with a little extra camo to make sure it's not mistaken for rubbish. Thanks adventure-f0x and DarkAvenger-x.

A deserted playground and no barking dog made fur a quick find.

Just as my pen signed the log the Dog piped up! I quickly returned the cache and jogged off

No. 657

I parked on the street opposite and walked over. Thankfully there were no muggles around so I could search in peace. Took a few minutes of scrabbling before I had the cache in hand. Signed and replaced with a smidge more camo. TFTC.

We played footy while geodad went in for the cache. Two very noisy dogs made a hunt without diversion nearly impossible, so the footy was a perfect option. Quick find & good sized cache, Tnsl Tftc xo

I am glad to see there are now a few caches around the Greystanes area, as I am often in this area for work.

This cache was my nearest target on today's visit. Coordinates were accurate making for a quick find. Signed log and picked up the TB.

It's been a while since we cached so we packed a bag and set off. This is the first one we found. Took far longer then needed as I was searching around the wrong tree. Master Q had a ball playing at the nearby playground. Left a tb.

#2945 (Streak day 233)

Busy today, well part of it was waiting at home for some big boxes sent home from Wrestlemania by Geoson #2 - there had been problems with the paperwork so we weren't willing to be out when it arrived. Then went shopping with the Geowife, so end result was I only got out as the sun was setting.
Tried to work out a quick way to the cache from home, as I'd be going with peak hour traffic. Ended up a reasonably quick route under the circumstances.

Once at the park the light was starting to go, but I had the geotorch, if needed.
Fortunately the iPhone was being pretty spot on today and so it was a quick find right where it was pointing.

Took well away, closer to the empty playground, to complete signing duties and came across a small council memorial to an 18 year old girl - plaque and tree.

Completed signing duties there and then back for the replace.
The only problem was a yappy dog in the backyard nearest the cache - both on the grab and the replace.

Time for home.

8/4/16. 2:06 PM. Cache #3713. Streak day #656.
5th of 5 - all the new adventure f0x / DarkAvenger-x caches in Greystanes.

So far had all four with no DNFs and left "Daisy Street Park" wanting to finish strong at this one. Cut straight across the park to the obvious search area, moved aside some of the camo and saw the cache almost immediately.

Then the dogs over the fences in two adjoining properties both started their yapping so I quickly signed and cleared off before attracting any more attention. Time to head home after a good half hour. TFTC.

A late night grab to keep my daily streak going. I actually walked pass this park Monday evening and thought I must put a cache in there. Then I saw the emails when I got home. Lol. TFTC CO if you are local we should meet up a Pemulwuy for a coffee sometime.
 
05-Apr-16
Contactpete and I decided to get together to find a cache, just the one to keep my streak going. We had picked another cache to do in the area but it was swarming with muggles so we had to change our plans. So that's how we ended up here and contactpete made a quick find. SL #2495 on streak day #1370 TFTC

We walked across the park and made an easy find here. I was not aware that one of the COs may be watching (see notes about seeing Noodles below) I may have been a little more wary otherwise. Thanks

#3550- Today started with mist and fog on the plains having heard down from Springwood for bunch of new caches. By the time we reached this one, it was a case of getting very hot and needing to put on sunblock. Enjoying these new ones. This was an easy find in the first place we looked. Picked up a TB Thanks
 
05-Apr-16
Nice easy find with RIS768 today.

No TB to be seen.

Thank you for the cache.

(FTF) My fifth first to find today, and probably my last as work calls. It was a quick find.
But the dogs behind the fence nearby get quite excitable.
Thanks for the cache.

I see NOODLES!
Watched him chow through this one as I stood by the park. I actually called out to him to him twice.. But he ignored me :'(
