We are on another short (three day) caching holiday in Western Sydney and the Blue Mountains, staying for two nights in a park cabin at the Ingenia Nepean River BIG4 Holiday Park at Emu Plains. Hoping to collect some of the new Puzzle, Wherigo, and Letterbox caches, and a new Adventure Lab, that have appeared around Warragamba since our last visit to the area. Will also be returning to the lower Blue Mountains for a couple of new Adventure Labs and a challenge cache, and revisiting a few DNFs from the previous trip, mostly NE of Penrith. Photos will be uploaded to some logs on our return to home base.

Today (day 3) we were caching in the lower Blue Mountains, then around St Mary's, and finally at Beaumont Hills & North Kellyville on our way back home.

Oh dear, our second DNF in a row, after a second time around DNF at the nearby "Mary MacKillop - Claremont Meadows" cache. The white gate post was empty, if that's where it's suppose to be. Anyway it's another sad blue face on our geo-map.

On a drive to get cheaper fuel on a really hot Sunday. Unfortunately we could not find the cache, but the history was interesting. A big difference between the old road and the new road.

I've come out to St Marys for an event this afternoon. Along the way I've managed to grab a few caches and having a bit of time left I drove past the event venue and parked in the car/truck repair place which is closed and empty today being as its Sunday.
From there it was a short walk to GZ.

Wow, that's a fierce magnet!
I noticed that all the plants, maybe weed species have grown up in front of the Wool Pack and there's not much to see these days.
Finally had CIH and signed the log.

### Welcome to Blue Mountains ###
——
We took a day trip to Penrith, Lapstone and Glenbrook today.
We walked along the tram way and the zig zag way and have enjoyed many other nice beautiful spots
Nice landscape to explore.
We’ve also stopped multiple times along the way and solved some multi caches.
We’ve also found a virtual cache in Glenbrook Park.
Thank you all the owners for the nice caches

#2428 walked down from Bennetts Wagon crossing the highway when I had a chance. Got to GZ and soon put my hand on the cache, but as others have said the magnets are strong and putting your hand on the cache and having it in hand takes a little while to break the attachment. Even though I soon had the cache in hand

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 LovelyLadyLocks

CACHE #6

This was a pleasant walk from McDonalds half a kilometre away. Easy to find with a strong magnet. Took a couple of tries before it came loose.

• the container has a strong magnet (comment from 04/07/2018, thanks HubbyandMrs)
• see photo of the actual cache in a log from 28/12/2017 (thanks k.fotakapoulos)

TFTC.

P.S looks like the log is nearly full, probably can squeeze 2 more names and thats it. Thank you to LovelyLadyLocks for a great spot.

Somehow every time I'd driven past this cache I had imagined walking over to the ruins! TFTC
 
29-Jun-18
There were no problems locating this hide. We managed to park safely nearby and by using the hint made a quick and easy find. The traffic certainly zooms past here at speed.
We added our name to the list of finders and then put everything securely back into its proper place. Thanks go to LoveLadyLocks for this placement and the family history about the area.

Back in Penrith area for a week or so again so a little caching is in order and this guy was on my list for today.

I navigated to the first parking spot, but there was already a car there. So I continued on to the 2nd one, and started following the GPS back to GZ. Turns out that the first parking spot was right at GZ. Oh well, steps!

I found the cache instantly, but needed Monkey Girl's little fingers to get it out.

Thanks Smile
 
18-Nov-17
Quick find but crikey, sure is a strong one. Be aware of fingers when replacing. Many thanks to the CO **LovelyLadyLocks** for establishing and maintaining this cache for the rest of us to enjoy, see and visit new places with a hunt in mind.

Found it quite easy, but OMG those magnets are awesome... it took longer getting it from its Hide than actually finding it.. did the signing duties, now off to the next.
