Went back today to see for other people if cache was where i put it back. It is no longer there. Needs replacing.
With the sun out after a few days of rain, a day of caching with Oldmorty provided perfect conditions for some searching for treasures. Dogs running freely, us searching freely but no cigar. TFTC!
Today I teamed up again with morty8888 for another day of caching, this time around the Pymble, Gordon and Roseville areas. We had a very enjoyable and adventurous day visiting the cache locations, finding many of the hides but also a few DNF's along the way. Thought we knew where this one was supposed to be but it wasn't. TFTC anyway.
I found what recent finders have found but am unsure if it is what I am supposed to find.
Not sure what those recent finds were, or where they hid the bag of garlic & coins, but I found the cache, log included (and completely full), no garlic to be seen..
Sneaky find! TFTC
Sneaky find! TFTC
Maybe found it, no logbook inside but two 5 cent pieces and a clove of garlic. Seems a bit too strange to not be the cache but we didnt find anything else. Rehid it somewhere but not well camoflaged.
Think we found it... there wasn’t a log book but rather a couple of other random goodies. We’ve rehidden it well though.
Returned 30/11 as was back in the area for work! The gps was less jumpy, and perhaps my eyes were fresher, as I had CIH in under 5 min! It’s not actually inside the park.
Log is full. TFTC!
Log is full. TFTC!
We parked quite close to GZ and I was elected to check for the cache as MrsFish was not going to brave the rain. I guessed where it probably was and could see it when just at the right angle. I logged in the car then we retreated before the rain returned. Thanks again to The Motors for the hide.
Spent 20 min looking for this one whilst in the area for work. Tried high, tried low, no luck
Sometimes I hate being short. Didnt like the nearby playground being so close, but went for it and made a quick find TFTC
Found during the Geocaching Australia GeoSportz2018 game.
I’m using this one for Field Hockey as it has a micro size. TFTC!

Located at 1:01pm. This was a cache I first tried in my very early days of caching and as such I didn't log a dnf at that time. Fast forward to today and I soon had CIH. Nicely placed. Спасибо! תודה! L’chaim! TFTC!
Tftc, tired after a night shift and damp from the drizzle, found while meeting up with a friend for lunch in Gordon.

A quick find in the Killara area before meeting up with my friend. I was here before but unable to find the cache as there were so many muggles.
This time the place was deserted, and I had no problem spotting the cache.

Out and about in the area with Rodney1210 for just one day, cruising to New Zealand on Radiance of the Seas tomorrow. After a short search we soon had the log in hand.
Cheers for the cool cache

OCW Omegaman1971. After helping Omegaman achieve a long held dream at Lane Cove, he was kind enough to help me find my daily Geocache for the day. We initially had trouble making the find, however, after decoding some of the logs, we quickly had CIH. Cache# 664 TFTC
Woah we just found it and we were about to leave it's so well hidden!!!!
Awsome!!
Awsome!!
After finishing work later than expected in Chatswood, I was still in need of a cache for my streak.
I scoured the map looking for an easy-ish, non-bush cache not too far from me.
This seemed the best bet, with a couple of others close if I should fail.
A cursory search became more frantic with midnight approaching and I paused to read the logs with hopes of a clue.
A certain phrase struck me and I was quickly looking elsewhere.
Success, CIH, but I definitely looked there at the start... Very cleverly hidden.

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.
Lucky i can reach due to i am short. Signed the log as EV. Thanks for the cache and hunt
It's a clever hide but I was lucky enough to look in the right direction and spotted it straight away.
We are enjoying an unintentional tour of The Motors parks series on this fine Sunday afternoon. We wondered how the soccer players felt about playing on the dog park; might be a few surprises underfoot! Tricky hide here. SL TFTC Cheers... Gaztek
Once I stopped scratching about in the leaf litter and looked elsewhere it was an easy find.
Found this one logistically difficult but finally managed. Made one muggle convert. Thank you
I've no idea how I previously DNF'd this one, today I found it straightaway. I'm sure I looked there before.
Nice one, thanks The Motors.

Walk past, dig holes here and there, walk past again, it can't be there... walk past, 'that looks odd' bingo! TFTC
The lady pirate came up with this one, right where two of us had overlooked it! Tfth
Find # 1091.
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.
'Queen Elizabeth Park' was my eighth find for the afternoon. It was a last minute decision to head for the three caches in this area. I was starving for a feed and as I was headed to Lane Cove Road I took the turn off. I parked next to the cache and arrogantly left my car running thinking it would be straightforward like the other two in the area were. Wrong I was. I ended up switching the car off before settling into the search. I did the rounds whilst looking for useful information in logs. One comment in particular gave me a hunch and I made the find.

On my way home and this was on the way. I made that harder than than needed. You need to find it before you can post it!

OMG!!! FINALLY!! This is my 4th visit to the site as previous visits had too many muggles around. Then after spending much time searching the wrong area. I tried another spot and soon had CIH. I signed the log and noted that I couldn't see the signing of the last 3 finds in the logbook.
This cache was totally different to the other two places by The Motored in the area.

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 2nd of 6 finds, and 2 DNF's, for the afternoon.
After finding "Primula Oval" we crossed over to the other side of Lady Game Drive to arrive at this one. Parked the geomobile right alongside GZ, then jumped out and found the cache in the 2nd spot we checked. Signed the log sheet and then replaced as found. Then, after a quick play at the nearby playground, we were off to our next cache target. TFTC The Motors.

Cool hide.
First visit to Australia, visiting our oldest daughter who lives in St Ives, Sydney. What a wonderful country! We are having the most beautiful weather. Reminds us of South Africa, our homeland.
Thank you for the cache and bringing this wonderful place to our attention.
Such a beautiful area.
Best regards ...
Greetings from South Africa.

I looked in a few likely places but couldn't find a cache. Only a 1.5 difficulty but too good for me. Thanks anyway.
Thought the dog could have a run while Insearched but coords took me outside and I soon found it.
Struggled at first but a quick check of the photos helped enough for a quick find on a very busy afternoon. TFTC
A beautiful Sunday demands some geocaching action. After visiting the caches around Middle Cove, decided to picked off a few other "still to finds". Tally for the day, 16 finds, 0 DNF.

This is the 14th find of the day. After finding Microchiroptera, continued up the hill and ended up at this cache. The coords were spot on.

What else to do on National Geocaching day but to look for a geocache! Thanks for the cache.
There was an optus man in his van nearby but after looking at the satellite images we could locate GZ quickly.
Cache size should be micro not small. Condition is good (Interesting container).

In between jobs so went for a hunt. My phone brought me to a raised garden bed with lots of leaf litter where a cache could be hidden. I searched for around 5 minutes with no luck. Thinking this might be a DNF I looked for a sign to show me the way. Thankfully I was attracted to a particular spot and I soon had the micro in my hand. With the log signed it was back to work. Thanks for the cache. Cheers.

Have wanted to head over to the caches you have set up for a while and today the opportunity finally presented itself. A quick find was made with my Geosons who are now happily playing in the park I grew up playing in. SL, TFTC. It was great to visit my old stomping ground.
The third for the day. Park was busy as it was school holidays. Luckily geokiddies provided excellent cover. Cache was poking out a bit so buried it a little further. TFTC.
Poked around and found it fairly quickly. I'd say the cache is more of a micro than a small. TFTC!
Read up on previous logs when we couldn't find it. No luck, is it still around?
#3044 - Impressive but simple hide. Removed some inappropriate pages from the log. Many thanks to the CO ***The Motors*** for establishing and maintaining this perfect cache. Certainly had me going for 15-20minutes! Adjoining Sunday soccer match and associated muggles in playground was a mental challenge.
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!
This was the first stop, we had certainly been here before but always happy to come to a designated off-leash area and make some new friends. But we had to leave when we saw that the cache could not be retrieved from inside the oval. I thought at first that the cache was attached by a bit of green string but it turned out that an unsuspecting plant had ones of its leaves snaplocked inside the container.

Another lovely park that was again deserted.
Quick find as I sat down to let iPhone settle

No troubles here though I wonder how long this one will last. Very exposed. Empty beer can in cache was removed, not sure how that got there! It'll be worth 10c on July 1st when the new cash for cans starts!
Looks like I might have missed the fun this morning as I saw the aforementioned muggle workers as I passed on the way to a seminar...
I had a chance to return this evening after all was said and done and found myself with cache in hand quickly.
Soccer muggles didn't even notice me... Good thing!

Found mid morning on the way into the office after working nearby. Well some caches can present unexpected challenges and this was certainly one of them. I had cruised past the other day but there were just too many dog-walking muggles about.
This morning I parked on the other side of the park and strolled across just as a young lady started playing ball with her pooch only metres from GZ. I made a quick phone call as she moved away, grabbed the cache and was just about to return it when a Council grass cutting crew pulled up next to me for smoko. Bugger!
I ended up strolling up to the shops with the cache under my arm for a while until the coast was clear. An interesting monument to scouting up there which I had never seen and grabbed a cake from the pie shop so it wasn't all bad. Cache is now safely back in position but I fear that its 'cover' may not fool the muggles for long. Many thanks to The Motors

Not really any muggles in the park when I parked adjacent to it, just one whose dog was extremely interested in my car and then me when I got out, and I wasn't anywhere near the cache. Well I do love dogs. I guess they just can tell.
Very easy find. Nice quick one for a change.
Not so sure this won't be found and muggled though.
