Tried to find but cache is missing. Will endeavour to replace in the near future

Mind you, this is my first time looking for a cache but I got to as close as 1 metre from it on the navigation tool, and still couldn't find anything

Nope... have no idea and based on the previous logs... not sure it’s still there???!!!....
Come for a quickie after ripples. DNF. Looked a few other places based on Activity reports GPS is off.
#2428 parked in the nearby carpark and walked across against the wind took longer to find than I expected the GPSr wanted me in one spot and I concentrated there looked up and saw a spot that I liked the look of, ignoring where the GPSr wanted me headed to the other spot and 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

11:01hrs - found my second time back! After reading earlier comments, i realised I had not gone out far enough. Also people said it was an obvious hide, and it is. TFTC!
I suck at this... GRRR! Did not find, but i am sure I just saw another geocacher wandering off into the trees next time maybe - and good luck to anyone else looking
Tftc - easy find. Strange place, everyone stares at you as if you shouldn’t be here?
Geo hubby is getting his geo sense up as I am sick and driving him around to find my caches this weekend - pesky flu trying to stay out of the cold weather - TFTC LovelyLadyLocks, I really enjoyed it!
Definitely not near the wagons although they’re nice to look at. Go for a slight bush walk instead
Parked in the car park and walked over to GZ. The cache was found quickly and easily with no problems. The log was signed and then the cache was replaced as found. Thank you LovelyLadyLocks for placing this cache.
Walked across the road from the last hide for a straight up find in a spot that called out to me as if I’m holding the goods. Returned as found but not as obvious, thanks LovelyLadyLocks
Out catching a few sneaky buggers tonight.. Quick find, cache is in good condition little bit of water in the bottom but the log was nice and dry

The BTEC Boys stumbled upon this cache, we couldn't "log" it as we forgot to bring a pen.
Quick find by geoJavi while geoDad was concentrating on gz and geoJaz cleared up some of the trash nearby. TFTC
After doing some research at Kingswood with JJCC today, decided to do a cache run in order to find some target caches for the day in order to fill in some requirements for a challenge cache series (USG) down in Canberra. This particular cache filled in a missing hidden date, so parking the car just off Charles Hackett Drive as directed on the cache page, we made the short walk over to GZ. Extending the search area by about 6m and we soon located the cache hide. With the cache in hand we both signed the log before replacing as found. Both the cache container and log are in good condition. Thanks for the cache LovelyLadyLocks.
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.

A short stop and a quick find on my way back from Penrith.
Once the log was signed the cache was returned as found.

I took along some trackables for a visit.

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 like all the other hunters read earlier logs and they all told you to look west young man so that is what I did. The rest is history.

Monkey Girl had the GPS, and followed it. I looked ahead and saw an obvious hide, so followed my instinct and looked there. Quick find. Probably a better position down here than the hide I remember at these wagons from years ago.
We went back to the wagons, and played a game jumping between the raised wooden stumps.
Thanks

A beautiful spot that we never would have thought you stop if not for the cache TFTH
I couldn't find on my 1st attempt but after reading that GZ was further West than the co-ords given, I was able to quickly find this hide on my second attempt.
Took nothing, left keyring. TFTC.

My client requested a 90 minute delay this arvo.
Quick find once past the wagons.
Quick find once past the wagons.
Arriving at GZ showed us there was nothing at that point. Decided to read some logs and found that the co-ords were out so we extended the search area and then the find was easy. Our GPS said the cache location was 12 metres from listed co-ords. Duties were done and all was replaced as found. Thanks to LovelyLadyLocks for showing us this park and the old wagons, which we found were interesting.

I got let off work early so took the GeoWife out for lunch at the nearby restaurant.
After we had finished eating, the rain had a slight break in it so, we decided to go out and find this relatively nearby cache.
Very nice area that was hidden to us until now.
On to the cache and the coordinates were off by about 10-15 metres but the hide location is fairly obvious with a slightly wider search area.
Everything with the cache was great.
Thank you LovelyLadyLocks.

Previously logged under team account BoogieRogue. Re-logging with my individual account. GPS was of by 15m but found it quickly nevertheless. TFTC
An evening visit allowed the cache to be found. Some cleaning up of loose timber by the council may actually make this GZ more open.

Nice quick find earlier this evening, cache is dry & in good order.

My first cache this year, which was both exiting and sad. Exciting because it's a local cache and it was a quick and easy find; nice log book btw; and sad because I really miss caching.

Thank you to The Booos for letting me know the log book was saturated. I did some maintenance today, dried out the log book and gave the cache inside a good wipe down. All ready to go again - cache on!
Find number 3844
Co-ords with the iPhone where a about 10 meters out but probably to be expected. The cache itself hasn't held up that well to the rain and the log is saturated and contents wet.
Thanks for placing this cache LovelyLadyLocks

Tftc. A little ways off GZ, but looked around and found the obvious hiding spot from a distance.
Parked at petrol station across the road in the dark, and walked across for a quick find. Tftc
I think it was in the first months that I started caching in 2010 (I haven't checked, but that is my memory) that we found a cache in the metal grill that protects the wagons. It was a film canister, probably one of the first I had found.
We had time to kill this afternoon, so the WaywardWoman kindly agreed to me doing some caches she had already found. This one was a little further away from the wagons than I imagined, but in a sensible spot and easy to find. Thanks

GZ had me at a different spot, but I looked at the real spot and dismissed it. Then I read some logs and smartened up! No need to adjust the coords. When you are under trees, everything goes nuts...and it should be obvious eventually. TFTC
16/1/16. 11:44 AM. Cache #4674.
2nd of 4 finds - St Marys & Ropes Crossing.
A few new caches have popped up in St Marys in the past month, just after I had the area cleared. So I headed over, starting with "The Wool Pack Inn" and then coming here. I checked out several trees, but none had any obvious hidey holes.
I then glanced in a different direction and saw a likely place. Removed some camo and revealed the cache. Signed log and took the TB to travel with me. Next, a return to "c.a.r.e.s. 2 (v2)". TFTC.
