A string of DNF’s and unfortunately no response from owner

Too many muggles take this one..

We failed

And I also didn’t find anything here. Time for a check!

DNF.

Wasn’t there. What a waste of time.

Also found remains of it, the tiny pencil

DNF

No luck after half an hour. Blame the muggles!! T&B

No luck here today.

Same as others. I found where it has been

Like the previous finder, I too found the attachment method but no cache.

I noted the previous finder had found this on the ground and I'm fairly sure I found where it was once attached.
Unfortunately for me, I couldn't find the container.

Found this one on the ground, so i signed and placed it a spot I thought was best, but needed a piece of bark to keep it there.

Located at 6:51pm. Great camouflage. TFTC!

Previously logged under team account BoogieRogue. Re-logging with my individual account. Quickly found it on a trip collecting in Lindfield and West Pymble. TFTC.

Found it!

We are enjoying an unintentional visit to the Motors parks series on this fine Sunday afternoon. Here we were beaten to the find by Claudia and her parents. This was only their second cache and it was great to meet new geocachers. SL TFTC Cheers... Gaztek

This took around 5-10 minutes but we found it eventually. Good luck for you if your trying to find this geocache! Zara_star
Thanks to dad, Lizzie and Eddie.Haha

Another quick find, loved the camo.

Very inventive! Cache is in good shape. Signed and put back.

Tftc, found on the way to a friends house in Gordon. Beautiful morning, lovely park. The log was damp and my pen was bad, so my log became a scribble.

Quick find at night.

Quick find at night with torches. TFTC

Easy find after a soccer game nearby.

This one was a merry frolic. Thank you.

TFTH. Log is very damp and almost impossible to write on. Lovely park find in our way to a play date.

Thanks

Nice hide! We met a family of about 6 turkeys while wandering through the park from Charles St Started raining, and noticed that the log was a bit damp... managed to sign and replace it though... TFTC!

Tftc

Too many dogs around, and a curious neighbor sort of put us off, may try again , may not, but a nice little park that our hostess did not know about and only a few blocks away from her house.

Find # 1089.

I had set out this afternoon to grab a few caches close by to home before footy training in Hunters Hill at 5pm. I had plenty of time so it was just a matter of working out which ones to knock off. In total I found eight caches with no DNF's! The sun was out but it was a bearable 30 degrees or thereabouts. There was rain forecast for later and luckily it didn't come until well into the evening.

'JINX' was my sixth find for the afternoon. It was a last minute decision to head for the three caches in this area. I was starving and as I was headed to Lane Cove Road I took the turn off. 'JINX' was one of the easiest finds, I got lucky spotting it on approach, at the same time taking nothing away from its neat placement.

Signed log, thanks for the cache The Motors

On my way home and this was on the way. Always nice when a hide you're looking for looks right back at you.
TFTC

Found on the way home. It was still so hot that the rabbits at the north end of the park barely got up to get out of our way. Once at the likely GZ we looked in a few locations before spotted the different hide. We completed the signing duties and re hid. TFTC.

An obvious GZ and a fairly quick find.

TFTC.

On a five weeks, three-country-caching-tour covering Thailand, Australia and New Zealand.
Arrived in Sydney four days ago and sadly today is already the last.
Today’s agenda took me to the north region and some beautiful parks and reserves
Main goal for today was to get some of the historic, old caches [^] in the region, including Australians first cache and to find a letterbox , because this cache-type was still missing in the Sydney-collection .
What a beautiful day for a finishing tour! [^]
Despite it was a really hot day I very much appreciated the tour

A very nice setup in this little park. Hope that the good camo and intelligent hide prevents the school-kids from muggeling the cache again

Thanks [:X] to the Sydney-owners for providing the cool hides [^] and for maintaining the caches .
Cheers from Germany!

My GPS was a little unsteady walking into this park and pointed me to a number of different locations until GZ was a little more apparent. With the previous hiding spot That 'The Motors' had chosen in my previous find at ' Undiscovered Park'. The cache was soon in hand. I signed the log, but, not trackables were in the containers. Their retrievals have not been logged.
A clever hiding spot.
TFTC

Easy find in a beautiful area.
Thank you. Greetings from South Africa

Joined strandlopers w & e on this one. Many thanks

After a wet morning trapped in the house we were keen to get out for some fresh air, and maybe a few caches, so headed up to Lindfield to see what we could find. This was the 3rd of 6 finds, and 2 DNF's, for the afternoon.

After finding "Queen Elizabeth Park" we next stopped at this one. Parked the geomobile in Charles Street, and then wandered up the grassy access route between the houses and soon arrived at GZ. Looked in a few spots but it was again geomum who spotted the hide and had CIH. Signed the log sheet and then replaced as found. Another quick play at another playground before heading off. TFTC The Motors.

Find #1524

After a few years out of the game, this nice easy find.

The houses that surround this quiet reserve are lucky to have access to such a place. It's like an extension to their backyards.

I was the first to sign the new log. Thanks for restoring this cache The Motors.

This cache is still here have replaced wth a small black cannister.

No luck today. Will come back another time when someone confirms it's still here.

Unsure if this one is still here. Searched for a while but couldn't find. Found something which looked quite suspicious but nothing inside.

DNF think we found where it should be but nothing there. will keep an eye out on this one and come back another time

I had thought to grab this cache quickly on my way through to a dinner. Unfortunately the light was fading fast which made searching properly rather difficult. I was also hindered by my GPS bouncing all over the place and the local dogs striking up a chorus any time I made noise. I found a few possible locations but none yeilded the cache. In the end I had to leave or be late for dinner. I wasn't going to note a did not find, feeling I hadn't had a good enough seach, however I can see that since I was there someone else has had a did not find. So maybe I wasn't just being cache blind. Hopefully it shows up. Thanks

This rocks!

Walked down from the park up the road.

GPS coords took us to a fence however we realised we had an outdated gpx file.

Quick update led us to the cache.

Thanks for the cache

Dropped TB

Harder than we thought

#2499
On a break between jobs so went for a hunt. My phone put me in the general vicinity but it didn't take long before I found the cache. A nice little hide in a lovely park. I will bring my granddaughter back for a treasure hunt and a swing. Cheers

Found with my geobuddy today. Great hiding spot but I had no swaps and no pen so the log went unsigned. TFTC!!

Too hard at night

Quick easy find TFTC TNLN SL

Another trip down memory lane visiting this park. Play equipment has changed a bit since I was last here but the parks still the same SL TFTC

Another fun find! Surrounds were a bit soggy but cache all dry. Swapped a couple of things. Good fun. TFTC.

First find of the day, TFTC!

Bigger than we thought it could be! Nice hide!

Luceygoose's superior geocache skills won the day again despite only 20 under her belt. Tftc!

Too hard to locate

#3042 - Nice little park and a quick find on the geobike, as well as a quick rubbish clean up. Simple cache, well *reeted*. Many thanks to the CO ***The Motors*** for establishing and maintaining another local.

This afternoon the geodoggie and I did a tour of West Lindfield to revisit some old haunts and discover some new ones. All in all an enjoyable tour!

2nd stop was Jinker's Green. A lovely green it is. Most impressive was the liquidambar in the centre in full autumnal brilliance. (See attached.) The phone was pointing one way when I thought it was going to point another. I trusted it and this paid dividends.

TFTC The Motors

Another nice spot

#576
Another quick find before geoson's delayed game of soccer

Another lovely, deserted hidden park

Tftc

Wanted to clear out and explore this part of the world today. No need to trample anything, is in a pretty good spot. Nice park, cheers!

A difficult

Cache of the day! Walked around the grassy area, just thought the dog would stop barking - he didn't. Cache was found and log signed.

Drove around to Jinx and walked to GZ. Walked around before making the find. Didn't get the hint. SL and replaced. TFTC.

JINX - interesting, one of only 3 words in English that contain both J and X.

Enough of that.
This was a much more difficult find. The tree cover meant the GPS took a very long time to decide exactly where I should be. In the mean time I searched lots of places and watched a group of primary school muggles trying their very best to break a limb off a jacarandah on the other side of the park, by sitting on it and bouncing up and down. Looked like fun actually.

About to give up, just one more look and I finally found it!

Wish they had parks like this in amongst the houses in my suburb.

Cache # 1438

Impossible

Quick find during a short detour on the way into work. Looked in this spot previously so that must have been during the caches adventure off site. All good now though and the co-ords are spot on. There parks are priceless assets and its only a shame that there wasn't the foresight to create more of them across Sydney. There was no one in the park when I was at GZ although I could hear voices over the fence. Dipped all my current TBs through for mileage. Many thanks The Motors

Not on the fence line as my phone was telling me. Tucked away age and sound within the solid arms of nature. TFTC

Cache was muggled over the weekend. All up and running now. New Coords that take you away from the fence. Watch out for the local Muggles as the cache went to their homes for the night.

Had a look for this one the other day but found nothing, either by the fence or at other spots 8m away. Reading the previous log at least I feel vindicated that there may have been nothing there to find. I'll be back for another go soon

This was found totally by default. I took some friends new to geocaching to find this cache. We could not find it but were very lucky some of their relatives were picnicing in the park. Their children had watched other people finding this cache and decided to investigate. The cache had been taken to one of the children's homes and the log was at another place. We asked the kids to retrieve everything and I think the cache is back in place. The Motors may want to check the cache is in the correct place.

Walked over from the other nearby cache which I didn't attempt due to muggles. A stroll in the park to GZ where I spotted something not the cache before spotting the real cache close by. Signed and replaced.

Thanks!

It was out in the open so found quickly. Tried to hide it a bit better. TFTC

Easily found. TFTC

Found it after 10 minutes loved it was fun any way cool beans
Found by Isaac k

Really fun! Love it! Well hidden!

#2966 (2 of 4 today) (Streak day 340)

Decided to head back to Lindfield to pick up some new caches, including a few that were published shortly after I grabbed Happily Ever After.
Went for four, and found the lot - one with help from a TAF.
Then I decided to investigate a troublesome nearby cache. All went well there. Hopefully I can log a find there very soon.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Nice quick find here - once the iPhone settled the cache was pretty obvious.
Completed signing duties and replaced - adding camo as well as possible.

Decided to walk to my next two targets.

So sorry about the Coordinates being out. Maybe the overcast day when I took them. I'm confident these Coords will be great.

21/4/16. 1:48 PM. Cache #3750.
2nd of 4 this afternoon - "Motoring" my way around new hides in Killara & Lindfield.

I came here after "The Undiscovered Park"; there were muggles playing on the other side of the park but far enough from GZ for me to be comfortable searching around. I had updated the cache on my iPhone, so it had the updated coordinates from the CO.

I saw the been bottle mentioned by UL3801 (he also mentioned it to me when I met him at 'Undiscovered'). I searched near that and saw nothing. My phone was taking me closer to the fence; nothing there. After a bit more circling, I finally made the find, right near one of the places I had checked earlier (the camo hadn't caught my attention before - reasonably sneaky for the size). The new coordinates are much better, I'd say East might be more like .743.

I signed the log and took the TB to move along. Next off to "Queen Elizabeth Park". TFTC.
} : )

We found the coordinates to be about 8 metres out but geosense suggested that we look away from the fence.
We signed the log.
We took nothing and left nothing.
Thanks for the cache.

Some else also found the old beer bottle .concur with GPS error of about 8m

Big detour, before work, but in the general direction. A cat sat in the tree looking down at me as I searched away. Couldn't find it in those others, so I checked his one and CIH, thanks motors
