A string of DNFs and no contact from CO.

No luck.
With the GZ directly on a kids playground theres a high likelyhood of little hands discovering a cache.
Ill keep an eye on this one and see if others can locate it before coming back for another try.

No chance here, it's gone I'm sorry to say

There are no logs....either it's gone; or at the very bare minimum change the description to reflect that it isnt under a log.

Couldnt find it and GPS was very jumpy.

Didn't find it with nathybathy

No where to be seen, there's not really any logs to be under but I checked everything that I could see

Looked under every log/ stick in the park...

The area isnt big....there are no logs...just broken branches. I suspect someone has removed it

Was out in the open and not under a log, so I move it to under a near by log to secure its location TFTC

Found

**Found on our Sydney / Newcastle Cache Chase**.

*Out and about with *The Empire*. A thoroughly enjoyable trip.

Heaps of laughs, some s%@# music, plenty of finds, a few DNF's, a few Virtual's, Earthcaches, beautiful scenery, coffee's, photographs, some good memories AND two games of Ice Hockey.

Heading to Newcastle for the night. Grabbing a cache or two en route.

Cache-On!

Found by The Empire with Snap Happy
Staying in Macquarie, we grabbed this one on our way out of town, after an early morning breakfast. Thanks for the cache League13.

Nice quick find on my way home from uni. Great choice of location by the CO as the trees provided good cover from being spotted by muggles. Tftc!

Thanks!

Quick stop before going to see a movie at Macquarie Center.

Cheers

Another quick find for the day

Found with mum and dad on day 5 of our Oz Geomuster roadtrip from Queensland.

Day 5 of our Oz Geomuster roadtrip from Queensland. A daytrip south today to get a milestone cache and picking up a few other caches of interest...still a few caches short and needing a pitstop we stopped off at the shopping centre. Taking the opportunity of the convenient parking we walked across to the parkland and found ourselves another cache...TFTC League13.

So cute and tiny

Found after the hint.

I had a short look and got it . TFCC Plastl

A straight forward find

Out today with Brewmaker finding some caches around Macquarie Park, East Ryde, and Lane Cove North.
We parked the car nearby and then it was just a short walk to gz. Luckily there were not too many muggles around. Read the hint and headed over to a likely spot. Soon saw the cache hiding there. Signed the log and then replaced it all as found. Then walked along to the next one. TFTC

Is it Quaundong or Qaundong? But like Qantas and Quantas! Either way it was a qick find as per the hint. TFTC

Tftc, the initial family plan was to head to Patonga for lunch. The wet weather put those plans on hold. Headed to Mac Ctr to let the little one burn off some energy in the play centre there. Quick stop here on the way home which resulted in a tantrum as we didn't stay and play at the park. The tantrum was quickly replaced with a nap back in the car.

«Just passing by...» Staying with a friend in Ryde and used the bike to get to the shoppingcenter, I made a few stops... Thanks for showing!

This one is tiny! The hint helped plenty

It was a quick find thanks . A tiny one though
With murmic0905

Please bring more paper, this log if full

Located at 6:50pm. Quick find after a long day at work. This little park is the very definition of muggle central with eyes everywhere and a constant flow of foot traffic. Спасибо! תודה! L’chaim! TFTC!

A quick find, walking back from the shopping centre to my hotel on campus. In Sydney for the AustMS conference. TFTC

Huzzah, needed to make my daily find late at night near my hotel, couldnt find the last one but this one was found easily enough...now i can go and sleep. Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache

Easy find. Bring a pen or a sharpener.

Great little one! Small geo so no swaps done.

Nice and quick

Found under 5 mins, nice and easy. TFTC

Tftc, hint is helpful

Nicequick find as the light began to fade. Sadly couldn’t find a quandong jam tree. Tftc tnln

Lunch time in the park...I can't believe there was no one around. Made it a nice quick find.

TFTC

Found easily with Omidt23 tftc

got it!! ty!!

Found this one yesterday on my way home from getting the old virtual in the national park. I went pass the big bus accident. The bus had ran in to 2 houses. TFTC. Pretty area.

A short walk from Macquarie centre brought me past a few caches, but my timing couldn't have been worse.
5:30 and the walking paths were full of muggles on their way home.
Fortunately the playground was empty and I was able to perform a quick search.
The cache was quickly in hand.
However I did need to wait for some passing muggles to replace.
Tftc.

Doing well today with Crusty24!!! TFTF

Quick find with sisters dlturner and kazzacosmo

Walked straight to it.

Quick find

QOCW Rodney1210. As we approached GZ, he had to take a work call. I pressed on and made the find. Coords were spot on even with the wind and trees. I disturbed a bunch of creepy crawlies in the midst of retrieval. I have never signed a log and replaced a cache so fast before! Time to get outta here! TFTC!

OCW Coastblue. Actually Coastblue did most of the hard work on this one, I was on the phone. Cache # 300 woohoo!!!! TFTC

A very nice and easy find.

Was scouting out the sites for tomorrow morning's hunt but decided this diversion was far enough to try for tonight. Plonked on the head torch and quickly had in hand - TFTC

TFTC !

TFTC!

Had to wait for muggles to clear out, however, was a nice quick find on lunchtime walk ... how dare they want to use the park. LOL

TFTC ... lots of cockatoos here as well

Out geocaching late on a Saturday afternoon. Nice little park here. SL TFTC Cheers... Gaztek

I expected that finding a micro here might have needed a lengthy search but somehow I exposed it instantly for a change. Thanks again League13.

Easy find even there was a muggle close by.

Quick park and grab
TFTC

The rain helped keep the muggles away. Quick find with the hint. TFTC

#274. I was keen to find a geocache tonight to get the Big Blue Switch souvenir. Luckily I managed to find this one with help from the hint despite it being dark, and whilst trying not to get caught up in the invisible cobwebs! TFTC!

Easy find thanks the hint.

Quick and easy find a few days back, TFTC!

With this little park/playground conveniently between two of the places I needed to be at this morning, and a Geoson in the car with me - always a help when tackling caches near playgrounds we made a stop at this park. Think we spent longer trying to find parking and dodging massive double barrel trucks using the local streets as a staging area for the massive developments on Herring Rd. Park was empty, Geoson had a quick play and I made a quick find. SL, TNLN, TFTC and introducing us to a little hidden away playground.

Find #: 1,476
Companion: None
Muggles: A young family
Weather: Pleasant evening
Cache condition: Good

I was in the area for a birthday party for my daughter at Macquarie Centre, so decided to walk down from the shops and search for some caches. After By The Creek I headed to this park. I was glad to be on foot: I had once tried to visit here, but had been unable to find parking in the suburb. There was a young muggle family playing on the swings, but GZ was out of sight, and it didn't take long to get CIH, so they didn't appear to really notice me. TNLNSL TFTC

At the tail end of our 366 days' streak, only one week to go. This cache was reasonably close to home, so headed out here on a trip which started in rain but that had ceased one getting close. The hardest thing was to find a parking spot somewhere on a Sunday afternoon like this.
Once at GZ the cache was soon located. The park was empty from muggles so nobody cared about what was going on under the tree.
Just wonder how long this cache will last in its current shape and location.

#1227
Needed to fill a calendar gap and this is one of the closest. Funny thing is that I was parked in almost the same spot a few days ago. Approached GZ of an empty park and made a quick find.
TFTC

Was in the area killing a bit of time and after finding one of the caches near the creek wondered if I would have success here too. Thankfully the nearby council worker moved on so I was able to go in for the find. Signed and replaced, all in good order. Thanks League13.

I wanted a 2nd cache for today so came here late at night on the way home from comp tennis.
I had actually been here before a couple of weeks ago and checked out the location for a time just like tonight. Just as well I had done that because I'm not keen on caching in the dark in unfamiliar parks, and the cache was not where it had been previously but close and knowing what I was looking for helped.
It was difficult signing the log in the dark and I wasn't sure the neighbours weren't looking at the light in the park so late at night so its a very messy signature as I was trying to be quick.

By the way League13, in English Q is followed by U. So the name of the park is Quandong Park. I could actually see the sign, even in the dark.

A quandong is a native Australian fruit, not really from the Sydney area but there may have been some grown on the farms in this area originally, hence the name.
It is a small blue skinned berry with bluish juice which makes excellent bright blue jelly!!!

TFTC # 1841

Too many people along the track to find the caches near the creek, but not a person in sight here

It was a lot easier to find a park here today than yesterday. And the cache was easier too, because I had done a recce. I thought it has gone missing for a second as it wasn't underneath the object hiding it yesterday. But I found it a short distance away.

TFTC

Nice spot
TFTC

Kept walking around the uninspiring area of European style flats until I reached this park where I made a quick find. Signed and replaced.

Thanks!

It was that man-made object placed a certain way that gave the game away...and I was off to the next one. TFTC

Such an easy find...

Nice quick find, TFTC!

There was a surveyor setting up his equipment along the path but he was at the opposite end from GZ so I grabbed the cache.

Nice one, thanks League13.

Found after a massive rainstorm and a conference at Macquarie.
Thanks for the cache.

Tftc

Come to macquarie park for 'holiday'...don't know why choose here in this hot day definitely at least 5 degree hotter than eastern suburbs. But there are caches close by!! So happy to go and find this one, even in this 42 degree afternoon:) Thanks for hiding it here!

#2695
Yep, I found it.

No where I thought it would be but easy enough find once I let those ideas go. TFTC so close to my home. I have run out of walking places and often go through this park and. Thankful Sydney has so many nice parks

1/2/17. 2:06 PM. Cache #4727.
4th of 5 finds - North Ryde, Marsfield, Macquarie Park.

Doing some trench digging for a neighbour mate today, so I left caching until my lunch break. Even though I have like a bajillion League13 caches to catch up on (seriously - go out and do some finding instead of hiding!!!), I was only going to get a couple today and more tomorrow - you know, space them out.

Then I remembered the car could be out of action tomorrow, so I went for the 5 I hadn't gotten from the 25 Jan publish. And even though I saw another one pop up in this area today ("By the Creek"), I chose to ignore it today and stick to my plan. Got all 5.

Came here after "Macquarie Trail #2" and sat down on the park bench to begin with. Thankfully no kids using the play equipment at this hour. I waited for my signal to settle and then headed off in that direction, expecting to be taken a little bit past the playground and I was right. Could have been another needle in a haystack (micros in the bush suck), but I was lucky enough to spot it from the right angle. Once again glad not to have needed a PAF here. Off to "Macquarie Trail #3" next, or so I thought...
TFTC.
} : )

Somehow didn't register on the map as a find

This one took a little longer than expected. My GPS was out a little I think...but found it.

This one took a bit longer then something in the distance caught our eye. BINGO CIH.

Glad this was quick as I felt pretty exposed!

TFTC.

I could hear nearby muggles on the balcony but the park was deserted
