I am regretfully archiving this cache since there's been no response from nor action by the cache owner within the time frame requested in the last reviewer note.

I drive by here daily - where the cache was located is now a construction zone

Hi LovelyLadyLocks,

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time please be sure to **post a note** (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date, if you do not then you cache may be archived without further note from a reviewer. Caches archived due to lack of maintenance are no longer unarchived and you will need to submit a replacement as a new cache.

No luck for me... a few DNF's now. Perhaps CO can check?

Thanks to LovelyLadyLocks for the placement and fun.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

LovelyLadyLocks I didn’t find your cache Watch This Space on 6/4/21, 2:55 pm. Nope add me to the DNF list.

Couldnt find it maybe it has been removed

Possibly not there anymore, might need to check

No luck today, we were also competing with not getting a parking ticket. Hopefully next time

Sadly couldn’t find this one.

TFTC just picking up some food from Harris Park and thought we'd walk up

TFTC
Probably my quickest find ever

Found what could be a cache, but had nothing in it

Found! Tftc!

Made this way. To hard. Tftc

Attending a conference nearby at the UWS parramatta city campus, so took a small walk to this cache. Not hard for me, quick grab and sign. Logbook is full and need a replacement.

Tftc. Quick find on walk around parramatta

Rather busy area but found quickly. TFTC

A few days of research fieldwork in Sydney (from Canberra) made a for a few select opportunities to grab some local geocaches at the end of the working day.

A check of the geocaching app from my Parramatta hotel room revealed a couple of apps in reasonable walking distance (this of course being one of them). A few muggles about heading for home or wherever it is muggles go of a late afternoon, but none of them cared about me as I poked around and tried likely hides. Luckily not many tries were required and the cache was soon revealed. Yay!!! TFTC

Construction attracts a lot of muggles

#5184 5th for today

I've only recently become a professional geocacher (retired), so today was my first day on the job. It wasn't a hugely successful day, but it was deliberately unhurried and being from Canberra, I was happy to enjoy the very pleasant conditions here in Parramatta today. I'll be heading back to cold, old Canberra
tomorrow.

Not too hard for an experienced goecacher. I watched the space but nothing changed, so I moved on.

Thanks LovelyLadyLocks

Quick and easy find! TFTC

Out ‘n about with m4yb getting a few caches.
On my adventure returning to the Midwest but am now back in Sydney for a few days.
This is day 3 and sadly our last day of our PT exploration and LGA gatherings.

Thanks for the hide and

Last day day in Sydney with megawat60, and today’s plan is to gather caches on the way to and from Parramatta. After lunch we raced here for a find before making our way to the Ferry, which we found was not running anyway. TFTC!

Found this with YetiNZ on our way to the train. Visiting from NZ it was a super hot so thankfully it didn’t take too long to spot as we’ve come across similar caches. It was a good detour. TFTC

Visiting this area for the weekend, and on our way from the hotel to the railway station we stopped by here. Did not take long to spot where this one would be, and there we found it all safe and dry. TFTC.

Gotcha this time after DNF about 6 months ago.
Feeling proud of myself for finding a cache that the CO said "This one might be a little tough for newer cachers - however seasoned ones shouldn't have too much of an issue." This is find number 371, so it has taken a while to become "seasoned"
Thanks LovelyLadyLocks

Tradies - so noisy just up the road and well before the curfew of 7am so I was awake much earlier than intended. OK so that means a change of plan for today.
I trained it to Parramatta and walked to this cache location.
When I first started working I worked in Hassell Street just around the corner, NOTHING is the same. It was quiet and there were small federation houses along here, and now...erk!

Anyway the cache was a quick find, thank goodness as there were traffic controllers almost opposite who could have been watching me, who knows, but they couldn't leave their posts.

TFTC # 3085, another day to add to the streak!

Found on a walk after a good feed. Log full

#7551 16:10
Having some time to spare as my wife has an appointment nearby I decided to make good use of the time and do three nearby caches.
At first I walked along the river for the first waypoint of the earth cache 'Parramatta Shale', then I moved away from the river for two traditionals.

This was the second traditional, not at the nicest of places. TFTC.

No log space left. A little stinky round here. Good hide! Thanks

Quick find in a busy street with lots of road works. Log is full. TFTC

Looks like they're filling up every space in Parramatta as fast as they can, as you watch. TFTC

OCW Brewmaker and EverestHigh. Great cache. TFTC LovelyLadyLocks!

Got it TFTC

Staying in apartments just around the corner, took a detour to find this one on the way to the train station. GPS was out of sorts but with a quick search in the places where we expect to find them, had the cache in hand.

Wary of the construction workers down the street had the log signed and were on our way. Thanks for the cache LovelyLadyLocks. Was a wlecome break from the hustle and bustle of the City.

Found on my second attempt. It needs a new log.

First place I looked TFTC

Having had to pay for a half hour parking in order to get the nearby Park Street Troll 'park & grab', I figured I might as well make the most of my dollar by getting a smiley here as well. No problems making the find ... the hiding spot is something I always check these days when I see such things at a GZ. Thanks LovelyLadyLocks.

With the GPS jumping all over the place and no hint given or clues in past logs, I had very little chance of finding the cache. Will put on watchlist and maybe come back sometime later.

Rode here on the bicycle from Lidcombe shops. Easy find at gz.
Needs new log. Log more than 3/4 full.
Tftc

After dropping YGAT at Hambledon Cottage I took a stroll in the sun to pick up this one. It was in the first place I looked.

Good one, thanks LovelyLadyLocks.

Great hide, TFTC!

Great hide. TFTC!

Found whilst waiting for geo teens soccer game to start nearby. A random person popped out of the port-a-loo across the road and walked off just as we were about to place it back.tftc

Always great to fill in time while you’re waiting for something.

Ducked by here quickly during peak hour after work to grab this instead of waiting around in one spot.

Was in basically the first place I looked. Seasoned cacher indeed

Have been to this spot for a few different things in the past.

Thanks for the cache!

I've taken a walk through Parramatta today and found this cache.

Thank you for this cache
Team sissifalke

A day off work today for an appointment I had to attend not far from here. It was a quick find thankfully because there is a fair but of construction work going on nearby. TFTC!

I used to do a lot of work around the corner at the NSW Police HQ building, but it seems my field work days are over. Probably a lot easier on a Sunday anyway. Just had to wait out a muggle who was quite happy to sit in his car with the engine running parked in exactly the wrong spot. Eventually he sodded off and I could make the grab. Thanks LovelyLadyLocks.

TFTC!

Walking down to get dinner, I pretty much knew where this had to be. I was right. But managed to check all the rest first. Thanks for the cache.

I quickly manned this one whilst passing through the area.
Thanks for the urban hide

A quick find once the line leading into the hair studio next door disappeared into the building.
Thanks for the cache.

TFTC, whilst in the area for work and staying in a hotel less than 300 metres away, I had to quickly duck out and grab this one, good co ords led to a quick find.

This cache was found today and brings our overall cache find tally to 9480.

A nice quick little find as I wandered the back streets of Parramatta this evening

Thanks LovelyLadyLocks for the cache.

With a dream run along Pennant Hills Rd die to school holidays I was quite early for my optometrist appointment. What better than to grab a few caches while waiting. No one in residence today and a quick find in the first place I looked
TFTC rinsemesocks

Best way to recover from a gruelling two-hour job interview nearby? Find a geocache! Truly grateful for the head-clearing find. Wow! Things are changing fast around here. I will watch with interest. SL TFTC Cheers... Gaztek

Tftc. Quick park and grab, right beside GZ.

dropped by this spot when in town to meet someone for lunch.
With the temperature nudging 40C it was a slow walk to and from. No problem finding the cache. Signed log and replaced as found. tftc

Cycled up to here this black morning and capped off a quick find. One must be careful of round things above a wet drop! Perhaps wander a few steps away. Many thanks to the CO LovelyLadyLocks for establishing this cache so the rest of us can have fun finding it.

Found in the company of Wystan and our first Australian cache! We arrived from England this evening and as today is a gap on our geocaching calendar we HAD to go and look for one., even though it was nearly dark! By the time we got opposite the 'space' we needed the torch to search although in the end one was not required.

Found it with Mrs Wystan. First cache in Australia having just arrived today from the UK. Looking forward to a few weeks mixing work and caching. Thanks. Mrs Wystan spotted it first - not too tricky as we've seen a few hidden like this in England and France.

Located at 10:45pm. Great hide, but helped by the fact that I had earlier today logged a cache exactly the same as this one near Lakemba. Спасибо! תודה! TFTC!

I only had a couple of hundred metres to walk to the train station but plotted a circuitous route via some caches. I was hoping to walk by a coffee shop as well but instead found an avenue of barbers.

I had to wait for some surveyors to pack up their jigger at one end of the street and some builders at the other end before I could fiddle with the furniture, but the job was nutted. If only I knew where I was. tftc

I thought I was going to be muggled out of this one but discovered a very friendly local resident. Could I not take his assistance and have a bit of a chat.

You should say hello if you come. Must be tough here so a kind word will not go astray.

Great hide and an excellent chache. Coordinates were a bit out for me but didn't matter in the end.

Calendar day 191

**CUT & PASTE BIT:**
I had a ‘flex’ afternoon off work with the goal of walking from Parramatta to Hornsby. Found 3 caches, then went back to Parra Westfield to buy an iPhone charger cable which I’d forgotten. Doh! 2 hours down and I was back where I started. Eventually arrived Hornsby Railway Station in the dark after 8 hours, 24Km, 44,500 steps and 8 cache finds
**END C&PB.**

Fisrt cache found today, and the GPSr was bouncing around everywhere. I have found a couple of this 'type of hide', I remember the first one was very difficult. This time though it was one of the first things I checked .... with no luck. Moved down the street a bit for more searching and a check on the iPhone to try to improve my location. Looked to one side and - Oh, it will be there. Cool! Nicely done cache. Signed log. TFTC!

A common hide but the cache name suggested any of the nooks and crannies.

In town to complete residential school for my degree so I made this detour on my way back to the train. The difficulty rating has me over thinking. After about 10 minutes I made the oh so simple hide!! SL, said g'day to the homeless guy on the stairs,replaced cache and I was on my way. Cache# 457 TFTC

Today I had a birthday party lunch at Parramatta, why waste the morning when it can be used for other thing?

I always tip my hat to these kind of hides, TFTC!

Walked up from the ferry wharf and noticed a resident camped on the nearby stairs. He didn’t bother me as the tree trunk obscured his view. Nice hide bud

Being early allowed us to head over and park close. We made the right choice with no muggles around and soon had our name in the log. TFTC.

Found on the way home after a night out in the city Thanks for placing & maintaining this cache LovelyLadyLocks

Log 1021 Streak Day 252

Quick easy find on a work trip. Tftc

We were very lucky as I was able to park right at gz. I see a likely spot, but it's stuck. So I keep looking. Not a lot of options so I go back to the first spot. Ahhh.... I just needed more force, I was right after all

Master Q enjoyed throwing leaves into the storm drain.

Tftc

After we worked our way around the one way streets and found a parking stop it was a quick find.

After going round and round not this way not that way soon in right street found parking soon had in hand

Going round in circles till we finally parked and signed the log

Yay .... difficult to find but gps is accurate believe it or not . No need to go on property

Found with RIS768 pretty clever hide, but as the description states not too hard for seasoned cachers like myself & ris.

TFTC

Another episode of Good Times with Pete and Ris was recorded here on Periscope. Nice quick find in noisy area. SL #3268 on streak day #1874 TFTC

A quick find in what has become a logical spot for a cache.

19/08/17. 7:47 AM. Cache #5264.
1st of 3 this morning - Harris Park, South Wentworthville, Guildford.

First time caching again in the week after a combination of busy days and then being laid low with the flu, so it was good to be able to get out. I parked right next to GZ, got out and worked out where I'd hide something around here, turned out to be a good guess. SL and replaced. This find gets me my International Geocaching Day souvenir for 2017.

On to "VIGORO FIELD #3" next. TFTC.

#4282- The shame of it. With a short time before possibly ending up with a parking ticket, I had to use a paf. The Gps was jumping everywhere, including across the road. Got the obvious spot in the end. Thanks

Streak Day #1497 - Spotted the hide as soon as we neared GZ, just had to await some muggles getting into their car before retrieving it stealthily. TFTC

Found it with Snoopy1976 tonight after dinner. An easy find for us tonight. TFTC

Parked right opposite GZ and since there were a couple of people getting parking tickets from the machine I ducked across the road and made a quick find after seeing there were not too many hidey holes. Back to the car and out of there before the rangers found me. Thanks for the cache.

Toriaz and I had a long walk around Parramatta today, starting at North Parramatta near the gaol where a new cache has recently been published. After a late lunch at Westfield we walked down to this one before turning to head back to the car, all the way back near the gaol. Oh dear!

Thanks

I was busy searching elsewhere when I spotted something out of place.

TFTC.

Just popped out of work and came around the corner for a quick find. Now to grab some lunch and back up work. TFTC

#5,062

Didn't bring my running gear today, so I decided to walk over to this cache instead of heading to the park as usual. When this one was published, I thought it might be referring to the new building that we will be moving into when it's finished, but when I zoomed in on the map I realised it was around the corner from where we're going. Parramatta seems to just be one solid building site these days?

Cache was a quick find, in the second spot I checked.

Thanks

In Parramatta for work for a couple of days. Found ths one on the way to work this morning. I had an idea on the type of hide but it still took a couple of minutes as my GPS had me on the wrong side of the road. Once i was on the correct side it was a quick find TFTC

Nice quick find after a walk through Little India

Gotta love it when a cache matches your nail polish !

TFTC LLL

#4252

Just the one today after yesterday's cache binge.
Like the other caches published at the same time it was just the wrong time for me to go for it. Oh well.

Today, though it was perfect for a quick park and grab...

Parked next to GZ - wants a ticket but I'm not going anywhere. Made the right guess first time - the spot just called to me.
Took it back to *The Hademobile* to complete signing duties, replaced, then back home before peak hour traffic hits - not that I have a long drive.

Rushed from work to get home and meet Frazel battled traffic all the way here and was expecting to see a name on that paper but no... FTF WITH FRAZEL!
TFTC

Was at work and received all these new caches in area, so made a quick dash home to meet up with Ash.Kate to get FTF. Lots of traffic so on approach was sure there would b a name on the log but alas no. HAPPY DAYS, JOINT FTF WITH ASH.KATE
