I am regretfully archiving this cache since there's been no response from nor action by the cache owner within the time frame requested in the last reviewer note.

Noticed that the park neighbours have installed an illegal gate right at GZ.
Will try to find an alternate location.

Cache check today and it's gone.

It's gone missing. May or may not come back. Just too many kids around here.

Got this one whilst completing an AL a few weeks back , forgot to log

Great camouflage! Kids loved this find…

Found it! Great camo, accidental find! TFTC

Nice and easy tftc

Love the cache this was an accidental find which made it quicker than it should have been.

Found it

DNF on this one. Spent a good time looking but nothing obvious stood out. It looked to be found recently but no clue where.

great hiding spot, took a little searching

Good find!

Companions: None

After #5 I continued on to #6, my final for the series. Once at GZ I immediately spotted the likely container - nice work! TNLNSL TFTC

Maybe its the coffee, maybe its the fresh air or maybe its the past logs, but whatever the cause, im breezing through these so far
Tftc

Was glad I didn't need to spend too long here with the neighbours audibly so close. Nice handiwork. Thanks Sicad69.

A quick find on a quiet Mother’s Day morning. I signed the log while I was listen to a family playing a ping pong game. TFTC!

#1,131
Another find for the series.

Out caching with Rama497. Last one of the traditionals to find. Now to find the final.

A quick find with the geodog Zelda while attempting the new AL around here. Not on the fence, but very close. Some work has gone into camouflaging this one. TFTC

While walking our grand doggie, we found this cache. An awesome concealment. Thank you for making this cache.

The OlMaLol’s arrived back from QLD today and whilst Mr OlMaLol had to return to Canberra, miss OlMaLol stayed with her family for a few more days. We had previously taken them caching with us and they loved it so much that we set up an account for them. And thus another cacher exists! So along with our geopup and the newbies, AusPol, we went for a gentle stroll around the park collecting a few caches.

This cache was super cool and while letting AusPol try and find it for a while, walking past countless times, finally a found was made once I showed them. Thanks for the amazing cache!

Wow!! Impressed with the skill to get it into Sydney’s finest without breaking it. Thank you!!

found it!!

Out caching with Roxygirl1969 and she gets so cranky when I find them (ha ha)

Nice little sneaky cache....found quite quickly.....TFTC!!

I still find as many caches as you chippymick64...so stop being so smug!!!

Quickly found as I made my around the park whilst my wife was at a weekly visit to Norwest private hospital. Retrieved the log and signed before replacing as found. tftc

Hardest of all in this series. Lucky to get it. TFTC

After finding the first two caches of this series back in May, it was time to finished the series.
After parking the car I crossed the sportsfield and close to the fence I found this well hidden cache.
TFTC.

found very clever

A great cache. TFTC

Found another! This one was super sneaky haha!

TFTC a quick find along our journey.

Damn you Sarah!

On a lovely winters day, morty8888 and I had our first day out caching since the lockdown restrictions were eased. We enjoyed the walk around the Balcombe Heights Estate, an area we hadn't previously visited. We also enjoyed the six quirky cache containers which we found without too much heartache. TFTC Sicad69.

First caching day with Oldmorty since the lockdown and restrictions. Perfect weather and we headed to an area we have danced around but not found.
After the X-ray vision of Oldmorty at the last cache, I left him to check the obvious items at GZ. Nope. He continued on and I went and rechecked to find what Oldmorty has as one of his own caches. I guess thats what they call team work. Another clue and off to #3. TFTC!

Yes

This rocks!

Beautiful day to be finding some caches. Our first find of the day!

Great park and a sunny, breezy Saturday afternoon with minimal socially-distanced muggles around. Cleverly constructed camouflage which we found exposed when we got to GZ. Did the duties and then placed it correctly. SL TFTC Cheers... Gaztek

Clever hiding

Excellent cash, first of this type we've found

Last find before the final. Another easy one. Thanx

Cache nr 7 today, 6th in the series. Clever hide. TFTC

Only had a quick search but didn’t catch this one unfortunately, will attempt again!

Log a little wet. Replacement log would be good

tftc!

Great hiding spot. Nice evening entertainment for my friends and I.

Very clever. Tftc

Unreal! Found accidentally !

Tftc. Nice walk this morning. Will try to pick up more this week to fill in my blank days

TFTC. Amazing camo container. Cool hide.

Nice hide. Haven't seen a real version before. Quick find appreciated after the last dnf. Tftc

Love it!! TFTC with Pulloa

TFTC!
Found with BrodyT2010

TFTC! Great camo.

Found pretty quick but was a great cache. Have never seen ook like this before

Had 30 mins to grab them all and then the final, just managed it. First cache of this type. Great series and great location. TFTC

TFTC

Cache check today. All OK.
Clue is NOT on the top of the sheet.
Look carefully,

We went back this morning and as happens looked at the item we had looked at before, this time with a little more effort. Nice one, well made and a new log tho no bonus number. TFTC

??

Quick find! TFTC

Got slightly confused as expected it to be on the fence, but the hint said not, but when I found the cache the light bulb went ding! TFTC

Geocaching afternoon around balcombe heights estate and his series.
Quick found for this nice camo.
TFTC

Another easy find, not many places it could be given the hint. Lovely spot, TFTC

Note to remove an old "needs maintenance log"

Tftc - easy find

TFTC. Made me smile. Love the hide. The first one I have found like this. I’m visiting from the Hunter Valley.

Due to muggles interfering with this cache I have had to relocate it and change its character.

I found what was left of the cache. A real shame. I looked for the rest of the container but I couldn't find it.

Found ourselves in Baulkham Hills today for a few hours so decided to pick up a few caches with Team Merlin. With our first cache found and muggles at #7 we then headed to this cache. GZ was located but no find nearly giving up looking high and low we finally locating it. Signed log got code number and return as found. Cache container in good condition but log a bit damaged. Thanks for the cache Sicade69

On a cache run with JJCC collecting some more finds for the [Hidden Creatures](https://www.geocaching.com/play/souvenircampaign/hiddencreatures) mythical creature souvenirs guest. Unlike our previous quick find, this one took a lot longer than expected, tricky bit was then extracting the cache froom its spiky home. With the cache in hand we signed the log, retrieved the code then replaced as found. Both the cache container and log are in good condition. Thanks for the cache Sicad69.

The following TBs came through for the mileage: Bob geoMinion, Dave geoMinion, Evil geoMinion, Jerry geoMinion, Larry geoMinion, Mary Hyde's Treasure, Stuart geoMinion, teamMerlin's 7 Deadly Ducks Tag (Lust), Vanlith The Youngling, the ithinkwerelost "Lucky Geostone" (#6 of 6), Castles, Cathedrals and bridges., Norman The Gnome, Gift of Love SWAG TWO.

Great hide. Needs new log bag. Thanks for the cache.

Tks. Found it out in the open. Hope I placed it better.

Came at night last time and DNF. 2 minutes in daylight and we found it this time!

Was stabbed in the arm here by a date palm spike. Didn’t realised my arm would swell up so much. Like a ride at the easter show, endless round a round games played here, Number for the final taken note, headed for the one in the tree now, thanks Sicad69

We've took a walk through the park and have also found this cache
Thank you for the cache

Located at 8:55pm. Making my way around the park and unfortunately found this upon the ground. I signed the log and replaced it as it befitting of the hint. Спасибо! תודה! L’chaim! TFTC!

TFTC!

Another easy find for me today, thanks for the hint and TFTC

Ttc. Quick find. Great place to 'hang' out.

Another quick find. In good condition.. TFTC

I'm trying to hit 2000 caches before the end of the year so with 30 still to go, needed a bit of a boost and thought this series was the perfect opportunity.

Followed the track around from #5 and was lucky to spot the container without contending with any of the prickly bits. Signed log and only then realised that I'd forgotten to grab the clues from the first two caches - dang.

TFTC Sicad69

Thanks for the cache.

[REDACTED]

Round and round we went. OMG how did we miss that the first look. Tftc

I headed out today with the intention of finding "numbers", but I like getting the numbers that come we good quality hides and offer a nice walk plus discovering somewhere new. Decided to head for The Hills to keep me busy today. (5/17 finds).

Walked around the oval rather than taking the direct route and when I approached the GZ I was thinking "I hope it's not in there" and continued to look in other places as I didn't want to admit that the correct spot was indeed "in there". Deep breath, caching eyes tuned in, and what could have been a potential ordeal turned into a super quick find when my eyes fell on the right spot. Phew! Happy with that one. Thanks Sicad69.

Spikes indeed.....this is one of those that could take ages......it’s all about looking from the right angle.

No muggles around today so I was free to search unwatched.

Noted code for final and visited TB

Tftc

Great hiding spot, took a couple of minutes to figure it out but fond it eventually TFTC

??????

Came back today for another try and located the cache within a few minutes! Thanks for the extra tip Sicad69!!

We had trouble finding this one. Lots of muggles about too. Decided to move on to the next in the series and will come back to try another day.

Kids are having a ball! TFTC

Great find for the geokids. TFTC

Today it was decided to go out with goingplaces2 to find the caches in the Balcombe Heights Estate series. Had no problems in finding this cache. The cache was found quickly and easily. Managed to avoid the spikes. We both signed the log and then replaced the cache as found. Thank you Sicad69 for placing this cache and the series.
