This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter.

Not found since May. Geoching is letting us down with so many destroyed and missing Gzs

The tree is beautiful, and has been comprehensively mulched. Looked near the tree, but if this cache is consistent with other puppy trail hides, I didn't want to be destructive enough to find it elsewhere.

Cannot find it...

I believe I am in right place but it looks like the cache is not there.

Assuming tree with lots of limbs but couldnt find

Got the right GPS location but could not find geocache

The area at the GZ has been recently mulched.
I had a look but i think it may have been taken.
Either that or im just blind.

Found it.

After looking around for a while, I spotted it in a straight forward but unexpected spot. Beautiful park. The log is unsignable so I donated a new one. TFTH

OCW EverestHigh. QAE find. TFTC TheThomasTeamCachers!

Quick find. OCW MaxAdventurer. Tin is rusty, log is wet. TFTC TheThomasTeamCachers

Redemption found

Initially worried about all of the limbs but then it was quick find in a stand out position. I even saw a puppy on the trail. The log is soaked and I was unable to sign it. Needs a check up. TFTC!

Found this one very quickly. Log to wet to sign (or even to try to get out. The extra piece of paper added was soaking wet. I added a piece of paper with my log on it. TFTC

Last of the puppy trail for us today. We saw that it hadn’t been found since November 2019 so weren’t overly optimistic. But there it was! It had a damp clumpy log. We put a small replacement in. Many trees in the reserve have recently had bark mulch placed around their trunks. There is a pile of much near the tree so it looks like it will soon be treated the same way. This might make access to the cache challenging. SL TFTC Cheers... Gaztek

Out to find a cache to complete my November Calendar days.
I picked this one for on the way home.

As I approached GZ, I thought this may take awhile to find, but a quick look and there it was.
Great hiding spot. Nature is so good for Geocaching hides.

I retrieved the container and found that the log / paper was all a mess.
I replaced the log with a new sheet of paper, signed it and placed the cache back.

TFTC TheThomasTeamCachers and for bringing me to this park.

Lovely way to spend a Sunday morning, thanks for the cache!

Find #: 2,147
Companions: None
Muggles: None
Weather: Windy winter morning
Cache condition: Log needs some TLC

My daughter had an athletics carnival at SOP and I was on the way to watch her, so decided to stop off for a quick cache on the way. I parked nearby and headed into the park, and was soon at GZ where I made a quick find. TNLNSL, TFTC

Tftc. Nice to visit these parks

Tftn

Grate climbing tree

Quick find. But log is an unsignable mush. Have photo proof. TNLN TFTC

Walked around Gz knowing I had missed something obvious and there it was where I looked first. The log is a bit damp but the Fisher Space pen worked its miracle and the signing was completed.

Thanks for placing the cache.

Stopped off after leaving the Amateur Radio NSW (HAM Radio) bi-monthly Trash & Treasure sale, at Quarry Road Dural, for this one. It had been a fun filled morning of HAM radio junk scrounging, and a nice BBQ lunch with lots of friendly chit chat, but now it was time to grab some caches while on the homeward journey. This was the 9th of 14 finds, and 3 DNFs, for the day.

Parked the geomobile on Raimonde Road, at the junction with Marook Street, then headed off through the reserve and over to GZ. Searched unsuccessfully at some typical hiding spots, but then took a look at the hint which refocused my attention to an obvious feature. And a quick search soon had me with CIH. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found. TFTC TheThomasTeamCachers.

Find #2893

The clue really helped. TFTC.

Mould has grown over the log sheet

Found under obvious camo. Log sheet very wet.
TFTC

Tftc!

loved the puppy trail; happy to go for a nice walk.
cache was out in the elements so we added a layer of camo to keep it protected

A quick find while driving by. Spotted GZ after reading clue from 100m away. Logbook a bit damp after recent rain. SL TNLN TFTC.

Nice quick find with Deep_99. SL #2609 on streak day #2165 TFTC

out for a cache with Ris768, found quickly

Log 1471 Streak Day 525

OCW morty8888 and today we are on the puppy trail. The four caches in this series were found relatively quickly. TFTC TheThomasTeamCachers.

Targeted the Puppy Trail today and took a nice stroll thought the empty park to easily fin this cache. TFTC

Looked for much longer than I’d like to admit haha.
TFTC

Found pretty quick ... log in terrible state .. very damp but writable. Natural camo used not protecting it from elements so have placed sticks and heavy object on top of cache.
Also found old dog lead so put that with cache too.
Tftc

Unfortunately for me to say DNF bec I couldn’t find it between a large tree with many limbs and a cream fence as waypoint point towards to a fence???

Out for my daily cache and another trip along Pennant Hills Rd. Traffic wasn't too bad so made it to the park in good time. Had the place to myself this morning but then spent a bit of time scratching my head as to where the container might be. Looked in quite a few spots before going back to basics and making the find. The overlarge plastic bag was quite wet inside but log was only slightly damp. Still might be a good idea to replace with a smaller/dry bag.
TFTC TheThomasTeamCachers

Find #179 8:25am. Found it in this lovely park, 3rd one in this series. Your puppies must have certainly enjoyed their daily walks !!! TFTC

Third visit to this one and I will thanx the person who relocated this one, because this time I had it in less that a minute, whereas on previous visits, I was here for quite a while. TFTC

A quick find, but still well hidden after Alephroom's new placement. TFTC

Located at 9:45pm. My second unloved cache find on the same day! (21 months unloved in one day) This one was 8 months unloved. So earlier today I found By Gum which was 13 months unloved. I had wanted to make a find before work and decided to try my luck again at that cache; I proved very successful. So then all day at work I was thinking about this particular cache and how it would be amazing if I was to find it as well, and on the same day too. I descended upon GZ and straight away the neighbouring dog started barking and the muggle owner came out to investigate. Not off to the best start. I was stuck hidden in the trees for five minutes unable to move for fear of the crunching leaves giving away my position. I was then free to move away and tackle GZ from the other side whereupon I made the find. I think cache creep, whether natural or man-made, is to blame for this remaining unfound for some time. I signed the log and replaced the cache in a more suitable position under some natural camouflage. Спасибо! תודה! L’chaim! TFTC!

The wife of a Park Committee person waylaid me thinking I might be with the council as there were tree trimmers removing branches hanging over fences from the park. I set her straight and wrote the number plates down for her before we discovered they were council workers. I explained what I was doing so that 'suspicious' characters would not alarm her in the future.
Unfortunately I had a DNF anyway.

Second attempt at this one, but nothing...again.

No luck so DNF coordinate is at the lawn between fence or tree.. i am sure tree due to many limbs... but no luck...

Looked through every single tree and all along the fence and nothing popped up
I'm trying to drop off two travel bugs before returning to Vancouver but 3rd cache attempt and still no luck

A great cache for the geodoggie who enjoyed the run down the hill and the hunt for the cache. The rain held off and the hint was extremely true!

TFTC TheThomasTeamCachers

Happy to avenge this previous DNF.

Here this afternoon without the geopups but still a nice walk from the bus stop on Mobbs Lane.

I used the hint as I'd struggled the last time I was here and was certain where to look but after a few minutes I was still empty handed. Just as I was thinking of moving on I looked in a very different direction and there it was! Not what I was expecting at all

TFTC

Wanted to do the Puppy Trail series but had to hurry as a massive storm was coming, complete with lots of thunder and lightning. There was the park mowing muggle to contend with, but he was hopefully far enough away from GZ to not be a problem. The hint was very helpful and the cache was found quickly. Duties were done hurriedly as the mowing muggle got closer. Then all was returned as it was found. Thanks to TheThomasTeamCachers for this cache.

We have replaced the geocache but it is in a slightly different position because of works in the park so the coordinates have been tweaked.

We are sorry to say that this cache has been removed and we will endeavour to replace it this week. We are sorry for any inconvenience.

No joy

After a lovely walk (without the dogs) we had collected the rest of this series but eft here empty handed.

The park was deserted so we had plenty of time to search.

We did find a damaged container on the floor that looked very much like it could have bee the cache - I've sent a photo to the CO.

We'll be back once we know what's happening.

Thank you although I did it with no puppy.

Nice location. Thanks for showing me. TFTC

Out in the open but blind to see because it was so obvious. Cute park

Tftc, the park was nice and quiet which made for an easy find.

Still on my mission. Nice park, would of loved to stopped for a while to do a workout

Parked and walked to GZ. Quick find and SL. TFTC. Nice little series.

Great hide!

An easy find in what is a nice quiet spot to finish off things for the day.

These urban spaces behind houses are really great for an area.

Thanks for the cache!

A little close to the back fence, but after reading some logs suggesting it might be a little south the hide was spotted quickly enough. Nobody using the park today, and nothing seemingly happening in the nearby houses. Thanks TheThomasTeamCachers.

I've done most of the Terry's Creek walk in years gone by but getting from No.3 to No.4 took me on a route I hadn't been on and included a creek crossing which meant throwing the puppy across as I didn't want him wet and muddy for the car trip home. He seemed quite excited about the new game!

As we approached GZ I began to look for possible hides. I found the cache before I checked the GPS. There was a dog on a balcony across the park which could see us and had a bit of a chat with my puppy while I signed the log.
Then it was out onto the roads and back to the geomobile near No.1.

I wonder if we went the same way as you, ThomasTeamCachers? We enjoyed our walk and hunt in the rain. 4 caches found and exactly 4km. That's tired him out - thank goodness!

TFTC # 1575 and 4/4 today.

After being thwarted by muggles at No. 2 I came to this park and wandered over for a quick find. Am glad there's no dog behind the fence. Is that a piece of fibro? Probably should replace it with something else. Signed and replaced.

Thanks!

After disappointment at Puppy Trail No.2, this was a straightforward find. Thanks TheThomasTeamCachers.

Cords about 17m out.... Not sure how long this little guy will last. Nice park tftc

Thanks for letting us know.

Found with family

Another quick find TFTC

Another quick find

Found

The fourth and last Puppy trail was found with the old coordinates. Started to inspect the nearby "structures" before the hint gave it all away. Signed and replaced as the fifth cacher today.

In the area for an event and pushing to get a few caches today to give me 250 for the month. Interesting hide. TFTC.

31/7/16. 12:33 PM. Cache #4065.
4th of 4 caches today - Mooney Mooney Creek, Eastwood, Carlingford.

I was able to find No.2 of this series just before the "Geocaching NSW 2016 AGM" event, but would have been late for that if I'd come here next, so I saved No.4 for after the AGM.

When I got here, there was a muggle in the playground and it looked like more muggles walking my way... then they got closer and I saw it was more cachers from the AGM, who had just found this and were walking up my way. This included Rainbow Spirit, who had some better coordinates written on his hand (I hadn't seen the CO's coord update at this stage, but the numbers were roughly the same).

Adjusting to those co-ords made all the difference and a potentially difficult find wasn't all that bad. I signed and replaced, my home 10km radius was now clear again. Time to head home; TFTC.
} : )

Found today with Rainbow Spirit and Team Canary. It was TC who spotted the cache after we extended our search area, thanks.

After the NSW Geocaching Assoc' AGM myself, Team Canary, and John from the jkcourtz team found this cache, it was about 17m south of where we initially started the search.

Found with Rainbow Spirit and jkcourtz after the Event. Naturally I brought my puppy!?!

TFTC.

Found.TFTC. After searching far and wide in the obvious area without success, I read the logs and widened the search. Spotted a possible but thought no not there surely but it was there. A quick grab and walk away to sign then returned cache.

Published

Joint *FTF* @ 1235 with Noodles22 & Gatherer Hade.

I had arranged to meet Noodles22 at another cache but joined him to try for a FTF at this one. Expanded out the search & using the clue found it about 17m away. Local muggles might get a bit suspicious with this one.

Try S33 47.306 E151 03.881.

TFTC

Group (FTF) With Celtical and Gatherer Hade. Though I did arrive there first. I searched the obvious places, but with three sets of eyes we spread out and eventually Celtical spotted it first (20m out) but shared the ftf.
Thanks for the cache.

#2346 (3 of 4 today)

Wasn't sure where I was going to cache today, but my mind was made up for me when publishing started. Headed south and got the two right near eachother in Sefton - meeting up with a real name from the past at the multi.
As I was signing said multi more publishing started, and one right near home appeared. Well, I know where I'm going next. More company there and made the finds - well my companions did.
Four First2Finds for the day. Can't complain about that.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Arrived here after my two First2Finds further south - I can walk home from here... actually, I have!
Parked and immediately saw a vehicle with a geocaching sticker. Looks like I'm too late.

Wandered to GZ and spotted a familiar figure - **Noodles22**. And he still hadn't found it. We were then joined by **Celtical** and more searching ensued.

**Celtical** finally found it well west of the published coordinates. But it does fit the hint.
Joint *FTF* with **Celtical** & **Noodles 22**.

We signed a bit away from GZ as we noted the neighbours were in their back yard. This could impact the longevity of the placement.
Cache replaced we went back to the vehicles and shared some TBs, then noticed that *#2* was published. It's only down the road so...

Living on the edge, and just like the song lyrics, all right.
Um, hmm, stood I front of the almighty thinking its on the edge of the drip line and then used Celtrical's helpful coords.
Now you had me, there was no way I expected it to be hidden over here.
A tricky hide, this could disappear quite easily, thanks for trying something different.

Coords 18m off, used the hint and spied an obvious spot.

Cords are definitely out for this one, came here after dinner and after reading previous log we widened our search and then spotted it. Logged signed
