Goats at Greenup Castle Hill, New South Wales, Australia
By goatsrule on 11-Jan-17. Waypoint GC6Z60K

Found, and penned the log. This needs some attention from the owner!

Findable, but cache is well damaged, log is waterlogged and smudged. Container, or lack there of, snap log bag ripped and broken.

I am not in the area anymore. Will remove anything, that is still there, in the next few days.

Quick & easy find, but cache is very wet & mouldy, bag ripped & only a lid, I didn’t have anything to replace it with. Attaching photo of what it looks like. I did manage to open & sign it. TFTC.

Thanks for the clue as it was a bit distant from where my GPS said it was. Cache is very wet and damaged.

Great hide. Miss 6 loved finding the cache and left a trinket behind. Cache in need of maintenance. Log book is wet.

Good spot, beautiful hidden gem of bushland

Found it

We had so much fun and we’re ready to do more

Found it !

Good stuff!

After not having left the house due to all the fear of Coronavirus, my son and I decided to go for a walk and enjoyed the nice nature walk. Thanks for the break!

It’s very hidden in a box

First couple find, first one to find Goat @ Greenup for 2020!!

Quick find! TFTC!

As a group on men were preparing for a cricket game, geo dog and I walked around the perimeter of the pitch and then walked down the slope to find the cache.
It took not long for it to be found.
TFTC.

Braved the weather to come get this one. The ground was solid underfoot, so no issues with this one. At least I had the place to myself. TFTC

Completely forgot to log this find from months ago to qualify for the digital souvenir for International GC Day 2019. Wanted to log this before finding the logging the two for 2019 / 2020. TFTC

Madly trying to get the remaining caches needed for Mystery at the Museum.
I’m sure I’ve found one near here before, but this is a new one.

We found it

Short walk from street behind, great spot

Hooray

Managed to park the car in the street behind the oval. Then we walked the short distance through the bush until we reached GZ. The cache was found straight away in the first place that was checked. The log was signed and then the cache was replaced as found. Thank you goatrules for placing this cache.

Exploring a new area one cache at a time.

A quick short walk form the car and a hop off the path to GZ

OCW the Bebes. Short little walk and easy find. Tftc

Nice and quick to find. Thanks.

We are a long way from home! We have had fun finding this geocache.
Thanks guys!!
Cheers GSB2J

Quick find with Miss Clover. Still puzzled by the reference to goats.

My first geocache ever. Thanks.

Thanks for the cache! Was great fun finding our first cache ever!

Awesome location... thx

Thanks!

Great Cache, love your work!

Quick stroll from Cecil Ave on a bright Tuesday morning before work and I had CIH in no time. SL TFTC goatsrule!

Thank you!

Watched a soccer game too

10/10 wood find again

A quick find while in the area. Left something for the next cacher. SL TFTC

Nice quick find during a break in the rain. TNLNSL TFTC

We got wet (it is STILL raining), this cache was nicely covered up and I found it pretty quickly. TFTC

Found on a wet arvo with Shoes Junior and Little Shoes. The trees played havoc with gps but geosense saw us make a quick grab. TNSLSL TFTC

We parked in a large cul-de-sac and took a short walk through a rather nice piece of bush which is obviously being looked after. The cache was in a very likely place so we were soon logged and back in the car. Thanks goatsrule for the hide, I did like this location.

Really nice park. Quick find as it was exposed so covered it with natural camo. Co ords dead on. Took army man left dinosaurs.
Tftc

A good hiding spot, thanks!

It was leading random directions for a while but I found it - Liam

Found it!!!!!!!!!!

I fell off a cliff lol

Ozuk found before us on a windy day! TFTH

Signed the log with Sevabo and Skyejam Thanks.

Yay found it by ozuk before us thanks for the cache.

Trilling challenge before the hunt

Finally found it after a bit of a slide and tumble

OCW Rodney1210. We took a slightly more difficult route to GZ wondering exactly how this was a T1.5. Once at GZ we were greeted with a decent sized container and logbook. Always a pleasure to see this size in the wild. We laughed when we saw the easy path intended as the usual means of access. TFTC!

OCW Coastblue on a wet and miserable day. Started down the path thinking this ain’t no T1.5 then we found the path we should’ve gone on! Cache# 719 TFTC

Yeah found it!

It is good

My last day in the Hills for this trip to Sydney and a date to tick off on my caching calendar. I'd been saving this one for today as it was the last cache reasonably close to the geo-rellies' home.

The geo-wife and I drove around to the park, despite knowing there was another parking spot closer, after all, one of the objectives of caching is to spend time walking in the fresh air. With the geo-sister's two geo-dogs in tow, off we walked around the perimeter of the oval fence. You don't have to go far along this path before you can imagine yourself miles from civilisation. Despite which, there were two young male muggles sitting on a log doing not much. At first I thought they might be cachers as their conversation was interspersed with glances at their phones. But it turned out they were just kids relaxing in a shady spot.

Fortunately they were too engrossed in their conversation to pay any attention to what I was doing and the location of GZ loaned itself to a quick, surreptitious pick up. When it came time to replace the cache, the geo-wife and geo-dogs needed to act as a bit of a decoy to distract the boys from what I was doing.

I'm sure I've previously found another cache near here, but no smiley on the map, so it must have been archived.

The cache is in good condition.

TNLNSL. TFTC goatsrule.

Not the best choice of parking spot lead to an interesting trip down the hill TFTC would never have known this little bit of bush existed

We walked across the oval and had a fun slide down the hill! Then realised we could park in the street behind! Oh well, it was a great adventure none the less! SL TNLN TFTC!!

I drove around to the street behind this park as a cricket match was on in the field.
I nodded to a group of people near gz who i mistook for a bunch of geocachers. Oh well! I just went about my business.
Thanks for the cache.

New to geocaching and this was our first find! So much fun!

Good find!

19:08 Good clue! Log and contents dry, plenty of room in logbook. Started my trackable on its travels here - it wants to go geocaching with your family!

Located at 9:14pm. Nice easy find on a calm fresh evening. Спасибо! תודה! L’chaim! TFTC!

21st Australian Cache found with Wystan. Enjoyed our walk in the woods to find this one. Such a shame people don't take their rubbish home with them though.

Found with Mrs Wystan. We came to the area to get my laptop repaired and rely on geocaching to find us nice places to visit. This one didn’t let us down. Thanks.

Found it whilst on a little bush walk .. TFTC!!

I had a noon client I this street today and was 10 minutes early.

So a quick bush walk and grab and I was then I time.

Quick easy find. TFTC.

Peeked at the last post and it gave away the spot a bit, oops! but really fun find!

TFTC- SL.

Easy. Only stump around the area. Took the animal stickers put in the ducky. Don't be fooled by the red lunchbox lying around. TFTC

Our 1st find
Thankyou!!!

Good

Stickers... Very good hide.

Fun Fact!Goats are awesome!

We found it. Our first one. We were really quite stumped by this one. Thanks

Clever hide. Good luck if you're searching!

As we parked at the end of the steet we found the big woofer at the house below was in fine voice. Ignored it and headed off, luckily the right way first time. Picked the right feature and found the cache quickly. Did the necessary writing, replaced the container and returned to the geo vehicle to be farewelled by the still vocal big woofer. Thanks to goatsrule for this cache placement.

One of the closest to home needed to fill my calendar gap. Sounded like there was a game going on above but no one was on the trail. Following iPhone when I spotted something on the way to GZ. Nice to make a quick find. SL and replaced
TFTC

GPS wouldn't settle so I was all over the place before I abandoned it and just went with the hint. Cache in good condition. I took the TB. TFTC

School holidays... but the clan indulged me. They understand that geocaching is eccentric but that quirks of this ilk are totally awesome. So, after a family breakfast, we set out to Castle Hill where Him Indoors remembered seeing a party shop in the course of one of his own eccentric quirks... bus riding. We needed the party store to get pirate gear for upcoming Mary Hyde treasure hunting Events. And of course I was checking the geomap too. Love goats. And a very nice change from the usual Sydney city nanos. Thank you goatsrule....
(and they do ... ahhhh le fromage de chèvre frais with good crusty French bread!!!!!)

Just a reminder that there is a "findable" archived cache "GC2GF5Y Pooh's Honey Pot" that's located very close to this cache. It's in good shape and just waiting for others to find & log it for a bonus smiley (adds to your cache "found" total, but doesn't show up on your geomap).

On my way home, so came and collected another close one. Parked and made the walk down into the bush. Another great little hidden area. Found straight away with good coords. SL and replaced. TFTC.

#3357 - Cycled up here on the full carbon geobike. Great simple hide. Many thanks to the CO **goatsrule** for establishing and maintaining this cache. Worthy of a favourite

Great little walk to find
Too bad it started raining

one for the souvenir

Fun cache to do at night! TFTC

Can't find it. Spider everywhere and lots of stumps and checked them all and still couldn't find it

Stopped off on my way back home from the Amateur Radio NSW (HAM Radio) bi-monthly Trash & Treasure sale at Quarry Road Dural, to find this one. It had been a fun filled morning of HAM radio junk scrounging, and a nice BBQ lunch with lots of friendly chit chat, but now it was time to collect some more caches on the homeward journey. This was the 13th of 18 finds for the day.

After finding "Orange Grove" this was my next stop. Parked the geomobile on Cecil Avenue, and then headed off across the soggy park toward GZ. Soon realised that GZ was beyond the park, so scrambled down the steep embankment and over to GZ. Looked for a short while but, having found nothing, expanded the search and soon uncovered the hide and had CIH. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found. TFTC goatsrule.

And while I'm here I decided to have a look for a nearby "Archived" cache "GC2GF5Y Pooh's Honey Pot" that another cacher had told me about. And yes I did find it and it's in good shape and just waiting for others to find & log it. Follow the link: www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC2GF5Y_poohs-honey-pot
