A pretty quick find while in the area doing some geo-adventures today. A neat bit of street art here that caught my attention before I was even aware that it housed a cache. I liked the kookaburra too.Thanks for placing this cache cruiseforever.

Found with PapaGrouch. Out for a day sightseeing with daughter and her boyfriend. Stopped near this one earlier doing an Adventure Lab, then realised there was a traditional as well so came back to make the find. Took a little while to spot and didn't help that my device put me about 10 metres away out near the street. TFTC

Hooray, DNF avenged!I've come to Kurrajong from the city today and headed straight for this cache to try and turn that blue frown into a yellow smiley. Parking was more difficult this time so once I secured a spot for the geomobile I walked to GZ. This time I found the cache in the first place I checked. I think it was out of my reach previously with muggles close by making checking GZ a very sus thing to do.All good today!TFTC # 6105

I’ve lived in the area for 39 years and walked past this 1000’s of times. Very fitting for my first day out looking for caches

The container was very fittingly rusty. My toddler loves rusty Richard and won’t stop talking about this. TFTC
 
27-May-23
I had to do a trip out to one of our aircraft Wide Area Multilateration Site Monitors (aircraft surveillance) at Kurrajong today, to do the annual maintenance checks, and couldn't resist stopping off on-route to grab a few caches. This was the 6th of 7 finds, plus 2 DNFs, for the trip.

After completing my work up on the hill I was now on my way back to the airport (KSA), but stopped off at Kurrajong village for a few more caches, and this was the second one I came to.

After a quick frisk search of Rusty he soon gave up the goods, giving me CIH. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found. The nearby display of two old mill stones, from Singleton's Mills, was also quite interesting. TFTC Cruiseforever.

Find #6100

Sighted the cache after a few minutes of searching. However, it was in a very difficult location to access. Using a telescopic magnetic thingy, managed to drag it close enough to get a finger on it, then another and somehow pluck it out. Upon opening the mint tin, found it full of pieces of small sticks with no log. Cleaned it out, added a new logsheet and replaced the container in a much easier to reach location which was out of sight. Need to locate it by feel. Don't need a long arm. Will contact CO with details of location.

I was hoping this would be find number 4300 and had planned to walk down through the town from Bus Stop Alpha but it was pretty hot and I felt lazy so drove here.
Nice park, good view, cute scarecrow statue but a couple of muggles having a smoko here.
When I was able to check Rusty Richard I gave him a very thorough check-up and found nothing.
Checking the latest logs I see two dnfs. Maybe Richard no longer holds a secret for us geocachers.

Could benefit from a CO inspection.
