We had a nice time caching around Yarramundi and Richmond today. TFTC

This cache NM. I mentioned this in my log a month ago, but as nothing has happened I am logging a NM. The log was too wet to extract and needs replacement. The container is also much reduced.
I see there was a NM way back in October 2017 as well, mentioning the log book was full, but it does not appear that any maintenance has been done since then.
 
28-Jan-19
Found by Shoes Junior. As previous poster mentioned, the log is completely wet. We have replaced the log with a waterproof strip of paper and have done our best to dry out the container, in front of the air con vent. CO, we have kept the wet log - please send a msg with where to post it/drop off, if you'd like it back. This cache is in a beautiful location, but on this hot, wet morning it's quite stinky here . TFTC
 
24-Dec-18
This cache took ages to find; then finally I spotted what I had been searching for out on the grass, although a reduced version. I tried to extract the log, but it's wet and some broke off. If I had persisted I would have destroyed the log attempting, in its present state, to extract it, so I took a photograph as proof of find and will sent it via message to the CO. I hid the cache in the first place I had searched, as I didn't want to leave it out on the lawn, as it could be destroyed by a lawn mower. This cache needs the COs tender loving care. TFTC Geohunters100.

Good coords and great camo! We have the same idea for a cache like this. We've got the material at home, we just haven't done it. We give it a fav point.

Out caching with some fellow caches, being Frazeydaze, Oldmorty . Thanks for the cache
 
25-Apr-18
Out from the eastern suburbs for a days caching with frazeydaze and marj01; the chosen area being out west and the mountains. We visited a total of forty seven caches which resulted in forty six finds with one dnf. With the exception of a handful of mountain caches the rest were park and grabs, although some required a bit of searching. It was a very enjoyable and fun filled day and thanks goes to marj01 for the organising. TFTC Geohunters100.

All good to go again and the conversation continued for aother hour. Way too hot for this sort of caper today but tftc

Description had me perplexed, but trust the gps and check it out. Ha ha. Many thanks to the CO **Geohunters100** for establishing and maintaining this cache so the rest of us can have fun finding it, or cycling with a purpose.

Parked in the carpark and made the trek down to GZ on a beautiful warm day. Found the cache easily and managed to squeeze my name on the log, which is definitely full and needs replacing. Returned as found, TFTC!

03-Aug-17
I'm back working in the area for a few weeks.
Having caught up on some well overdue online logging, I thought I'd collect a few caches I have not yet collected in North Richmond.
Having just made the find at 'Beware the 'old' trolls' I had a nice stroll over to collect this cache. As I neared GZ I started to survey the area for a possible hide. Then as I rounded the tree the possible location was a fore gone conclusion. On closer inspection I had the clever hide in hand. I carefully removed the log to complete signing duties. Once done I reinstated the hide including camo.
A favourite point awarded for a clever hide.

Find: 367
4th of 4 finds for today
0 DNFs for today
Cache: Good condition
Log/Logbook: Good condition more than 50% full.

9/7/17. 3:56 PM. Cache #5192.
3rd of 4 this afternoon - Hobartville, North Richmond.

Spent most of the day with family painting at my father-in-law's place at McGraths Hill. With one coat down, I had the nod for a break to go caching, and took my young nephew with me.

We continued on foot here from the GZ of "General Barnard Bee CSA KIA First Manassas" and the signal at first sent us towards a bunch of trees under which someone had set up a basic camp. I was hesitant to search around here, so I cautiously checked to see if the camp was occupied; seemed like nobody was home.

Then with relief, my signal settled more and so it was off to 'those trees over there'. I'd already had a bit of a guess what sort of feature we might be looking for and wondered if some aberrant botany might come into it. My hunch had proven right and we soon had cache in hand. SL and replaced. We continued on foot to "Panther", although the walk around there was longer than I had expected. TFTC.

Checked the cache. The original camo and everything was gone. Have replaced with camo and new log

As per the last few found logs, this one needs CO maintenance. Done my best to keep it going in the meanwhile.
 
25-Mar-17
Life has been crazy lately and have had no time for caching or maintenance. Will go out as soon as I get the chance to fix it. Sorry everyone

#3842 (2 of 5 today)

With a furniture delivery coming sometime early this afternoon, I went out sooner rather than later, knowing I could get home in the 1 hour notice we were supposed to get from the delivery people... just. I deliberately picked an area with three close together caches - Hanna Park. Main problem here were all the council workers - gee it's very wet and boggy to cut the grass.

Well, I had no problems with the delivery time, but my wife didn't let me know soon enough to allow me to get back. So I went for an extra cache or two... or three. Only one DNF, and did a bit of maintenance on one other.

I still got to move it into place once I got home, though.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Walked here from my last find.

Well I found what has to be the camo, but it was cacheless. Checked around in case something had fallen out, but couldn't spot anything.
So I went back to *The Hademobile* for some paper and the tiny teeniest ziplock bag I have.

Signed the paper, squeezed it into the ziplock - probably should have only used half a sheet - and inserted it into the space the container should have gone. Then replaced.

Even so, this does need some TLC.

This was our second attempt at this cache, and this time we found what probably used to be the cache but it was empty... Its either been muggled or washed away...
 
08-Mar-17
Had a good look around, even found a pine cone that had no business being there - but nothing else...

Found on my way into the Mountains for the weekend.

A night session of caching finding 7 and being unable to find 1. Thanks for placing and for the nights entertainment. I am so sorry I lost the plastic container the log is in on the grass in the dark. The cache and log are all good and back in place. Just needs a log holder.
 
25-Jan-17
Replaced with fresh log

Last cache for today and also for our Christmas and New years's caching trip. Missed "Beware the "Old" Trolls" which we had downloaded a couple of days ago, but when we checked today it was disabled. Instead we walked to this one, which somehow made us confused, to begin with Wink In the end the name of the cache made totally sense. love this kind of caches, you get a favorite for work behind!
 
03-Jan-17
Always love new local caches. Awesome hide. TFTC
 
02-Jan-17
GeoWife and I thought it a much cooler morning to do a little caching, so did a few around the area.

Could not see any pine trees on our way to GZ but understood when the cache was located.

Signed the log and replaced as found.

Tks ... Geohunters100 ... GazMag

I pulled up at the carpark at the same time as another car. The occupant of the other car grabbed his skateboard and I realised I was going to be ok in looking for this cache. Let the geodogs out of the car and made out we were there for a little walk. Headed to GZ and found a tree that looked like it was worthy of hiding a cache. After a brief search I had to convert my phone into a torch as it was getting too dark inside the nook and crannies, spotted the cache and SL #2842 on streak day #1626 TFTC when I returned to the car I noticed the sun dial, how very cool except seeing as it was 8pm I was an hour past the last shadow. The skateboarder had just left, I guess he got a little bored skating on his own. TFTC

#1014 came to this park and while owners played with their dogs I walked down here.
On approaching there was a small tent that was dismantled, all the pegs, poles, guy ropes & fly were gone just left the tent. They will be awefully surprised and cold/damp the next time they set up their tent, missing the most inportant thing.
Well apart from the spiders webs I walked into this was a quick find. Signed the log and replasced as found. Thanks for the cache Geohunters100

Spent the day Climbing all over the wild dogs mountain range, our walk leader chose to instead of going the easy way around by the fire trail, we should cut across the gorge, down a steep descent of 400m to breakfast creek and up 300m to the other side. My legs didn't thank me for it. Afterwards it was all i could do to find an easy cache.
A good idea, but still could see no pine trees around.
Thanks for the cache.

Strolling around Hanna Park for my walk this morning. It also include a walk past of GZ where a quick search soon found the prize. Retrieved log and signed before replacing as found. tftc
A favorite for the camo making a good hide

I had one like this up in Wentworth Falls, but this one is built much better. I learned that pine cones don't stay in one piece for long, so have a few spares ready to go. TFTC
 
21-Nov-16
After parking nearby, we wandered over to where the GPS indicated and with the updated co-ordinates the hide area was soon located. The information supplied indicated what the camo might be and this proved to be correct. It was quickly recognised and the log was retrieved so it could be signed. Thank you to Geohunters100 for placing a fun cache. Our trackables came to visit too.

#4014- I saw this one come up and when we were out this way today, thomo31 and I had a short stroll to the only place it could be. Within a second, I found the cache tucked away. Thanks
