Such a sneaky find

Just was about to give up as I spotted it. Nice camouflage - tried to write date and name as good as possible but was a bit difficult to sign the log. TFTC

On geocaching with Graubunden. After Royal National Park, a few more finds on the way home. This got our attention due to some FPs given. Took us twenty minutes searching. And if you see a white pipe with a circular junction box at top - thats definitely not the geocache. We observed it somewhat loose from failed attempts to unearth. Thanks aries44duo

A good sneaky hide. Finally found it. Thank you. We now go for dinner.

very sneaky spot my guyTFTC

Too good for me

Really cool camo. Thankfully didnt take me too long to find. Tftc!

143. A lot of foot traffic in the area! Satisfying to get this one after a previous DNF. Crafty little hind but very cool to finally discover it after some time

#143 on the first try looking for this cache there was way too much muggle traffic so ended up calling it a day. But came back today and had some breakfast. Decided to give it another crack cause less muggles around. So glad to say I was able to find this one. Very well hidden. Honestly surprised I saw it!

AMAZING HIDE! Came over for a dance comp and checked this one on the way. Took forever as I was looking at the wrong spot but I must say this hide is so devious!! Gets a favourite point from me

Decided to be bold and just stand there until I spotted it. That didn't work, so I went up the street to get something to eat...then I came back and stood there until I saw it. Nicely done. Now It's off to your geocaching birthday party!

After dinner nearby tonight we had a look on the caching map to see if there were any caches around here. And this one was right here.! It must be our lucky night as MrW found it within seconds. In fact it happened so quickly we doubted that it was the cache until we opened it and saw the log and a pencil. Very pleasing indeed. Thank you.

*In the area with woolwood9 heading to the MEGA Event.* We cached from Sydney to Canberra, then after the MEGA, up through Yass, Cowra and Bathurst to return to Sydney.We had a great 3 weeks and enjoyed finding many good caches. SL *tm/ww NZ**Thank you for putting this cache out for us to visit*

Over in Canberra to attend the Easter Mega with tmann421Tons of caches done while here and this was one of them.Enjoyed the touring around and all the containers foundLog signed tm/ww NZThanks for the placement and the effort put into maintaining these hides for us to find.

Easy findWire brokenTFTC

Nice hide. What seems like a wire attaching the cache was broken but still in a logical place. Replaced as found. TFTC

TFTC - found with Nicole and the Barrett clan

Instant find after help from CO. Initial search was for at least 30 minutes. Great hide! With BarrettClan and NayEla

Thanks to some extra help from the CO we found. Such a great hide. Well done. TFTC

That was a challenge but eventually found a terrific cache.I certainly felt conshy looking for it in a very public place, peak hour but a cacher must remain focused!!!TFTC

On a road trip holiday with CaptainKirky. On this part of the trip we are heading from Sydney to Eden, stopping here for a very short break and thought this would be a good find in which it was.

Took 3 separate attempts totalling more than an hour of searching and a lot of muggles but we got there! What an amazing cache! Fantastic camo work Aries44duo, this is definitely worthy of a favourite point l so take it!
(Did have to get an extra hint from the CO for this one, I’m not ashamed to admit.)

TFTC!

A weekend trip to Batemans Bay, Wollongong, Sydney and back to Canberra to attend events in LGAs I haven't attended an event in before to qualify for a challenge cache in Canberra that requires attending events in 25 different Australian LGAs. Before this morning's event, I focused on specific caches in the Sutherland Shire to qualify for some of the local challenges. This one took a few minutes before I noticed something suspicious. Cleverly hidden. TFTC.

Came back to look for it today and saw aries44duo. I never would of found it without his help. TFTC

To many muggles arouns

Clever hide. Took the young geoson’s eyes to spot it! TFTC

Looked for a while but could not find.

Finally found after many years, with a great hint from a family friend who we introduced to geocaching many years ago. Thanks Chris and thanks to the CO for this devilish but we'll constructed hide. No red bits were touched in this final search and find.

Found! Bit wet inside. May need new seal

Sneaky hide

Clever hide!

Easter Friday. We thought that it would be a quieter day to look for this one. Yes, no one walked by as we searched. With our full attention on searching, we soon had CIH. A FP says enough about this hide. TFTC aries44duo

Took longer than I'd hoped, but got there in the end.

Cheers

After multiple, multiple hunts with the geokids, my son finally found it for us! We didn’t write on the log as we didn’t have a pencil with us, but we are so pleased to have finally found it! Excellent hide, the most tricky one for us to find yet! Thankyou!!

Not to hard to find

I looked around but there were plenty of muggles and I didn’t want to arouse suspicion. Not for me today I guess

Oh damn I found it after one final look before I slunk back to my car. Now I’ve signed the log and I’ve gotta wait for a gap in muggles to put it back!!!!! I took my time picking over the structure without doing anything destructive and I guess I was just lucky. TFTC Even though I did feel extremely dodge at GZ

Too good for me today, however, reading previous logs it seems a lot before me needed a couple of visits.

Found with max125 and SamanthaRogers back on the 5.7.21

Time was my enemy today and geoson not feeling in the mood. Will come back to this one. Found something suspicious but too many muggles coming up to dinner time with takeaways nearby getting busy

"Harmless Geocache"

Second time here we found the beauty nice creative cache must say nice one you’ve got here Aries ️ thx for the second hint

No luck for me tonight searched both booster gas valve and to many muggles

Pls. OTE there is a danger with this cache as their is a gas leak

Cache repaired and ready to go. aries44duo.

Briefly disabled until I fix. aries44duo.

After seeing the CO at the event on the weekend came here during the rain and dark for a quick find with no one about. However it was in 3 parts so didn't get the full effect of the hide.

With cache in hand we signed the log and replaced as found. Both the cache and log are in good condition. Thanks for bringing me to the area and thanks for placing the cache Aries duo

The following TBs visited for the distance - Hawkesbury Tiger, 2011- 2020 NSW geocoins, Area 51 Tag, Cache In Trash Out Geocoin, Cache In Trash Out Tag, CITO Micro Geocoin, dirty Black Juke, Four Elements Geocoin, Mary Hyde's compass, Optical Illusion Geocoin, Spindoc Bob Memorial Geocoin, Trackable Building Brick, Wales Flag, Wheel of Caching Geocoin

As I headed back to the north of Sydney from the Community Celebration Event I stopped along the way for some more caches - who can resist!
I had targetted a few places to stop this being my final stop.

Almost everything in the town centre was closed although there were plenty of cars parked in the main drag. Where were all those muggles?

Having chatted to the CO at the event, where I received a small extra hint I felt confident I would be successful here.
So step 1, examine the GZ area - nothing stood out but I was able to eliminate many spots. Step 2 - examine the area more closely - ah ha found it!
Step 3 - sign the log and reassemble the cache ready for replacement at GZ.
Step 4 - drop the log and its helper near GZ!!

NO - how am I ever going to find those 2 small items there????

Step 5 - now the real search began. I spent way longer finding the pieces than I did the cache. I even contemplated replacing the cache logless and contacting the CO then they appeared.
Thanks goodness for that!

Brilliant hide!!

Awesome spot however quite awkward with all the muggles around!

Came to Engadine on the hunt for a scooter...got the scooter but sadly 2xDNF geocaching finds for me.

More than once I've stood here and scratched my head on what. After a clue gotten from Aries44 I went to a previous investigated part of it and found out that the scary wire on it was part of the hiding construction. No such thing as smart static electricity discharger, no such thing as not -part-of-the-geocache.

Finally, I can put this one to rest. TFTC Aries!

TFTC - sick hide

Like many this one was not found on my first attempt. Many times i would walk past looking for where it could be. Last night while waiting for pizza, it was quiet for me to have a good look. There it was, however i had no pen, so came back today too sign the log, only to find a wee little pencil inside.
Great hide.
Tftc

It was bucketing down rain but I still wanted to cache, unsure what cache to find I decided to swing by this one as I was hoping it would be under some cover, or at least an easier grab with the muggles out of the rain.

Parking was a breeze which was nice, so I put on a rain jacket and went for it. Got a bit wet searching but nobody batted an eye as they were all too busy trying to keep dry. Eventually I found the extremely well concealed cache, phew! That is a tough little hide!

Good one, a favourite from me for the construction!

Found!!! Second time round. Very very cleverly hidden

What a great hide!!
Looked for a while and couldn’t quite spot it.

Left the area to come back with fresh eyes.. and boom!
Cache in hand! LOVED it

Fp! Tftc

I did a cache check today and the cache is still in place with log. Ready to be found.
Cheers, aries44duo.

Second attempt and still no find

Had a reasonable search here today. Too well hidden for us. TFTH

Have no idea where it is. Pls help

Had another hunt but still no find

Nomads travelling in their caravan around Australia. We have been on the road since July 2011 and discovered caching in August 2013. We travel with a bunch of travel bugs belonging to our sons and grand children. Where ever possible, we will maintain your cache as we travel.

Even though we are currently based near Adelaide, we have flown to Sydney to visit on of our grandie. We chose to take a train ride, just to find a couple of caches.

Got off the train at the end of the line at Waterfall, then returned to Engadine for lunch and a few more caches.

Not a fan of urban caching, but this one is so cleverly hidden. Did not take too long to find. Thanks Aries44

Tftc! A very very fine cache. A great piece of engineering

Very clever cache, found with help from aries, tftc

Very elaborate cache. Found with Jet. ️

Found with Paris1262 very clever.. people everywhere but we pulled it off. Great Camo well done FP from me️

Tftc, found it took us a little but eventually got there!

A challenging search

Found at 11:58:12 AM: GAFF3 in the company of Alansee.
What a great hide this turned out to be - but no one was even the slightest interested in what we were doing while extracting and replacing the fantastic container - well done.
Thanks aries44duo

Found with pprass today. He made the find of a cleverly constructed cache.

Youngest geokid found it before me, I was a bit concerned at first but then realised it was the cache. Great hide.

#6219 (3 of 3 today)

While I don't need and finds for the rest of the month in pursuit of my goal of 10 finds per calendar day by the end of the year - actually only three days to go - I have been upping my find count on days where I only have 10 or 11 finds. Like today.

Decided to go for three or four, and also decided a trip down south would fit the bill today. Hiccup at one attempt, but ended up with three. I'll take that.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Decided to try this one - surely it can't be too hard...

Well somehow I picked a pretty good time as even though there were muggles around, the numbers were well down.

Started the search and unknowingly I put my hand on it almost immediately, but didn't recognise it as the cache.
Took about 10 minutes before I came back to it and just attacked it the right way. Hold on. Gotcha!

Took away to a bench to complete signing duties, then back for the replace.
Gets a favourite for the excellent concept and construction.

Time to head home.

Found with HylandFlinga, Alfalfa06 and BurntCachew

Having had my eye on this one for a while and after reading previous logs, I had a rough idea of what I was looking for. I finally had time to stop off on a Sunday night at 9pm. There was absolutely no one around. I searched for about 15 mins before something came out in my hand, very sneaky spot, tftc

I tried this at 7pm the night before but there were too many muggle, so I came back at 3:30am and it was all clear. Great camo!

Too many muggles around
Thanks anyway

Swung pas last Friday but some food festival was on so parking was non existent and a crowd was near GZ. Today I was back, found some parking and not too long into the search was rewarded with a find. Can now cross this one off the list. TFTC!

Took me 3 attempts to find it then had to come back under the cover of darkness to sign the log easier to do at 1 o’clock in the morning good hide TFTC

Hunted around this arv with low muggle level but a better clue would help.

Maintenance performed and new log fitted. Back in action again. Cheers, aries44.

Temporary disabled for maintenance. Back soon.

TFTC... Having 2 engineers on the team we did expect to be taking the tools to deconstruct this booster. Well hidden but not what we were expecting... btw the log book is missing....

Find #3109 15th August 2018
So, long story short, found this one in the dark, with the help of the phone light. Had to grab this late after work as we needed this for the calendar and geohubby didn't find one on his way home. It took a good 30mins but I wasn't giving up! I knew the standard of engineering for this cache would be high. I wasn't disappointed - very sneaky Mr A.! Gets a fav from us.

Found but only just! Muggle city so just enough to catch a glimpse but didn’t want to risk a log sign!

We were in town today to meet up with my brother and meet his newborn. Sydney being what it is, it took them longer than they thought to travel from central Sydney out here, so we had a little time to kill.

Not the easiest place to employ stealth, particularly when one of the tadpoles has a voice that starts at loud and he's asking you from three feet away whether you've found the cache. It took us a few attempts at feeling our way around, cycling through groups of pedestrians, before Mrs Froggycache noticed something a bit odd but put it back. Then I noticed the words "harmless geoache"......

TFTC aries44, +1 for a clever hide

Very clever hide!

I think I got lucky here and touched it before I saw it !

Tftc

Very clever hide but we found it. Pencil was left on the ground near it. TFTC

A quick find during a dinner stop while passing through Engadine. TFTC Aries44

Finally found it. Good hide. As I said in my previous log I aware I had found it before. TFTC.

Ok I’m like 1000% positive I have found this one before. Muggle traffic was way too high. Will return another time.

Absolutly no one around here today were taking any notice of what we might be doing,after a search around the objects seaker came up with the goods,a different type of cache hide none of us had seen before,nice one !!
Thanks aries44 for the cache

Log warnings of a high muggle area and parking issues, always had me saying “I’ll stop out of peak hour another day”. However luck was on our side today… the closest parking spot to GZ was free, the arrow was co-operative, Sunday afternoon muggle traffic was light and three sets of eyes quickly had the sneaky camo in hand within seconds.

We were almost going to give this one a miss because the markets were on and it was quite busy. A quick check of the hint and we noticed a likely search area that was actually well hidden by the market tents. Looks like the market was going to make this easier than it normally would be! It took us a while of pondering and poking, but then something unusual presented itself. Sure enough it was a sneaky little geocache. A quick sign and replace and we were done. Thanks for the clever hide!

The market was on when we got there today. We got a sausage and wondered around. It took us a few minutes and lots of touching and poking for the cache revealing itself. We must looked a little bit odd amongst other market goers, but we were very happy to find this very sneaky hide. Thanks for the cache.

A nice in town cache. Enjoyed it. TFTC

Finally. Seriously that took me so many tries. Had to reach out to CO for some help but couldn’t use it straight away due to work travel and sickness. Finally grabbed it tonight on the way back from trivia. The amount of times me and the geo-GF looked for this *shakes head*. Thanks for the assist Aries and TFTC!

Shopping this morning and the number of times I have passed this cache of Aries44. Time to grab it. A tricky one but found it in the end. TFTC Aries44.
