Thank you l found it

Thanks!

Been a while since last found. All dry and in good nick. Slide container out the top rather than try to open the cap. I dropped the cap and took a while to find it in this terrain. This is the last of the three hides in these woodlands. All been a tad wet but enjoyed the walk. TFTC

DNF poked around for quite a while but weren't sure what we were looking for so ultimately left

One of my three finds in this locality of South Guildford after an unexpected job nearby. Nice bushy strolls at sunset.With five TBs in tow: Cheetah, Harmony Smurf, Canadian Flag, Dosenjger and Dog Tag (with his green soldier tugging the tag all the way).

This was so much fun, even my mum decided to participate which is rare Thank you for the cache
 
28-May-23
We went around the trail like 3 times because we didn't want to go into the bushes, due to the trail being overrun with little bushes and trees. Eventually we decided "stuff it" so we went in, got lost like 3 times and eventually we reached our destination, and alas our group name was formed. We were filled with excitement and joy signed off the paper and we were on our merry way.

a beautiful remnant part of the Cumberland Wpods thanks for bringing us here
 
17-Apr-23
It was a really fun find. I'm glad to see all the history of people who have been here
 
16-Apr-23
Walked across the green field which was busy with muggles BBQing, footballing, and a other activities. Approached GZ 'from behind'. No tweezers needed.
 
09-Apr-23
Nice park with the last few meters is bit rough. TftC.
 
12-Feb-23
Came down for the nearby CITO and stopped for some caches while in the area. Walked in collecting lots of farmers friends and had a quick find at GZ not needing tweezers thankfully. Thanks for the cache tnln replaced as found sl
 
01-Jan-23
After leaving the CITO nearby I saw this was close(ish) to the bus stop and decided to grab one last cache for the year. There were plenty of people enjoying the park but no one paying attention to the area behind the fence. The creek bed was luckily dry, and after disturbing some spiders and collecting thorns for my clothes, I saw something that looked like it had heaps of spots to hide a small cache. There were multiple angles to look at and after poking around for a few minutes, I spotted the cache and quickly signed. TFTC

Found It!
A nice little walk here during a break in the rain. Spotted the cache after a short search.

Geokid was playing badminton nearby . I had a walk to search for the a few caches. GPS coordinate was shifting for a while before identifying correct tree. TFTC

I was wary of wriggly sticks in the long grass with warm weather. Took a while to spot after checking a few some wrong spots nearby. Stacks of crazy noisy birds all around - could be starting a Hitchcock movie. Thanks tronador.
 
15-Aug-21
Fun little find! Didn't have a pen so had to use some grass to smudge the paper as proof I was there lol
 
27-Jul-21
Such a beautiful park! Found on a morning bike ride around cumberland Smile tftc
 
20-Jun-21
Nice, easy find. Forgot to get a pen for the log so will be back for it to write our names down another time!
 
26-May-21
After completing the CO's two caches in the Waddangalli Woodland I crossed over the road for this cache in Campbell Hill Pioneer Reserve. I approached gz from the wrong way as I had to leg it over a fence and it wasn't until returning to the car that I saw an easier way. Being a lovely sunny day the park was full of muggles enjoying themselves and probably enjoying a coffee from the kiosk mentioned in the description - wish I had read the description before I left home, could have done with a coffee. I did bring the tweezers however. Cheers for the cache tronador.
 
24-Mar-21
Such a great little area. Been here before but there were to many muggles around I didn’t want to stop. Once the rain finally let up I figured there wouldn’t be anyone else around and it would be a good chance to let the dogs have a run. After making my was through the calf deep water to GZ I quickly found the cache. Unfortunately I didn’t bring any tweezers and all the sticks were too wet to risk sticking in the container so I wasn’t able to stamp the log.
 
12-Mar-21
My first cache! I really enjoyed it
 
10-Mar-21
Dropped off daughters car for a service nearby and to fill in the time we planned on some caches in the area.
A quick find and a nice big park here. TFTC tronador.
 
27-Feb-21
Out with [@trodectus](http://coord.info/PR8JTE0) after visiting family. Parked car and walked through park and BBQing muggles. At GZ we were able to search for the cache without being seen. After a short seaqrch had CIH. Log signed and returned. TFTC
 
27-Feb-21
Found with [@coybear2000](http://coord.info/PR9547H). We were visiting family nearby and afterwards made a stop here to go for this cache. There were groups of families in the park having afternoon bbqs. We walked to GZ and started our search and soon spotted the hide. Log retrieved and signed and all replaced. We then spent a few moments de-seeding before heading back to the car. TFTC.

Approached through the park but once through the gate I took the long way around because the direct route had a high chance of being boggy. The hint had me looking at the right spot approximately, but it was getting the right angle that helped make the find. Even on a weekday there were lots of people out enjoying the park.
 
07-Jul-20
Found! TFTC and for getting me out and about!
 
03-May-20
TFTC,
After finishing our selected cache today, we continued to get some exercise in and locate a few caches before hearing to a friends place for a social visit, lunch and a chat. Great to be out.
An interesting spot to visit.

I found it but i dont have pen it really easy

Anominous Sign alway prefer to choose the shortest distance to get to the cache, which means some level increase of the terrain rating. This was no exception. Luckily we made it without much problem. TFTC.
 
16-Feb-20
Our experience of the area was quite different from Jackscruff's in December. The recent rains have turned this area into a swamp. We even had to jump over a stream to reach GZ! Well, we didn't "have to" but who doesn't enjoy adding a point or 2 to the terrain rating Smile ?

Once at GZ, we wondered around, looking for the wrong type of hide. A quick reread and we were back on track and the cache revealed itself to us.

Thanks!

Mrs Gaztek had to work on this Saturday so we needed to even that out with post-work caching! We wandered through the Waddangalli bush across the road before we came over here. Hopped the fence to make a beeline for GZ but found a muddy waterway in our way. Hmmm .... maybe we should try walking through the open gate instead. Oh yes, that’s better, a nice weir. And nice to see some water around here. Found the container in this nice bit of bush area. Wow, there’s a really big demolition site out the back. Wonder what’s happening there? SL TFTC Cheers...

#1944 Fifth of eight finds today caching around Clyde to Yennora. Found after a long search. Thankfully I took the advice of another finder and when I looked at a different angle there it was. TFTC
 
15-Dec-19
After finding my days complement of caches in the Wategora Bushland reserve I had a quick look at the map to see if there were any more caches nearby while I was over this way and spotted this one.
A short drive around and I was in Dudley Street and could see the reserve ahead. It was a pleasant walk along a well used track before I was tempted off towards GZ. After seeing a poor deceased reptile nearby, no water around for them with this drought, luck was on my side and I saw the cache immediately. Log signed and everything replaced and I returned to the geomobile.

There were dozens of Ravens around, a sign of very dry firey conditions.
Its a shame the locals here don't care for their bushland, there was so much rubbish strewn about.

When I worked in Sydney I have usually ended up at Campbell hill so it was nice to come back after about 4 years. Being able to look at specific tree plantings I did but also heart breaking to see the lack of recent weed control works and the amount of vandalism especially by bikes. Quick find. Bit of a reflection from the sun light. Tftc
 
08-Aug-19
Tricky but neat you will need tweezers to remove log
 
09-Jun-19
Easy find in a small parcel of bushland off a large open park. Smile TFTC Tronador
 
01-Jun-19
This was our first cache. Cords were spot on. We took the direct direct route which was busy, easy route to walk around. Was hard to find at first but once found, was more obvious than we thought. Thank you!
 
11-May-19
tronador I found your cache The Pioneer on 11/5/19, 12:00 pm. This is my find 2352 and find # 4 today. Took the hard way with a bush bash but found it after a brief search. Returned via a easier way, while picking off farmer’s friends. Thanks for the cache! TNSLLN

Coords good but take a little while to locate.

Good hide took awhile but soon found cords good

This one took me a lot longer than it should have.
After reaching the GZ i had a good look high and low but came up with nothing. After going and sitting in tge park under some shade for a bit i came back for a second go.
In the end i was able to locate it (GZ coords were spot on, it was my geo-sense that was off) and extracted the log from the cache easily with a twig.
Thanks.

Tftc. This cache had been burnt out when we last looked for it. Nice to be able to turn our frown upside down.
 
20-Mar-18
Located at 9:36am. Clearing out a few caches I had not yet picked up in this area. Park was completely empty and thus had complete privacy as I moved in on this hide. Спасибо! תודה! L’chaim! TFTC!

I came to the nearby school many times. I had my first, unsuccessful, job interview there. Strange to be wandering around nearby.

I looked in all the difficult places before finding it.

Thanks tronador

Out for a nice walk and decided to find this one. Had to walk around for a bit before finding it.

Nice spot for a cache.
If you come at the right angle you can spot it fairly easily. No tweezers unfortunately so couldnt sign log.

With ingenuity hubby got the log out with a twig. Signed in pink as I left my normal pen at home. I'll move the bin so muggles can access easier. Tftc

Originally thought this was it (see photo) but upon inspection all the swappables were really trashy and it wasn't at the GZ when I double checked the map. Found the real one before flutterbysquishy which was nice for a change.

Second for the day, but didn't sign the log - didnt bring anything with me. TFTC.

A relatively quick find! Super cute cache! Walking through here, I got a hint of the burnt smell. Signed the log to sounds of kids happily playing in the background. TFTC!

After being muggled out at my targeted unloved multi, I looked for some nearby options. Enjoyed the walk on this warm afternoon and after circling GZ made the find.

With a short speech at GZ a find was made. Loads of birds here. TFTC

Let's just say nature protected it well. Climbed a fence so probably broke the law. Take heed: wear long pants or suffer.
 
15-Sep-17
Great hiding spot ‍

Hint: Must walk pass the fence to reach it.

This one took a bit of persistent searching, but eventually the little cache came into focus when viewed from the right direction.

Another episode of "Good Times with Pete and Ris" was recorded here on Periscope. Took a little bit of searching before I spotted the cache after ContactPete had searched GZ "thoroughly". It was dark maybe that was his excuse lol. SL #3242 on streak day #1848 TFTC

Cool but clear weekend just screamed for a little geocaching so visited the Auburn and Birrong area today.
- - -
This was the 1st of 14 finds for the day - and part of a Tronador-fest it seems.
A pretty popular park. Arriving at 10:30 am and the car-park was almost full already.
And thank goodness for the kiosk, as I forgot to pack snacks and drinks for the day.
GZ was well away from muggle-prone areas, allowing an undisturbed, and easy find.

#4212- Probably not the greatest of ideas to go for this one after three days or more of rain. I headed in from the car park directly towards it and was just about to jump the little fence when I saw the creek- nope! Went a little further down and followed the obvious path in. A nice parkland which was empty today but would be horrific on weekends, especially this long weekend if the rain clears enough.
After a bit of a short look I spotted the cache in front of me. Signed and replaced.
Wandered back across the squealchy grounds, taking a look at the sculptures along the way and having a chat to the maggies and egrets that were so busily competing for food from the bins that they tool no notice of me. Thanks tronodor- another one done local to my mother-in-laws and brothers while visiting.
