Two of us looked for an hour and used the hint and all the logs and couldn’t find it anywhere

Didn't have time to explore all the pathe here. Thought I was close but was likely on the wrong side of the creek.

After about 40min I had to leave with empty hand. Read some logs & photos that certainly gave away and nothing. So frustrating
Thanks for placing the cache, Crownies
GC7BCRG

Wow. That was pretty hard. We had to read through a lot of logs to point us in the right direction. But after 15 mins of searching in the wrong place we had the cache in hand!

Thanks for the cache.

Found bannockburn oval Turramurra rod and Lynn 29/9/19

Lot of rain recently. Nothing that looked much like a bush although I must have been standing right on it if the phone nav is correct.

Streak week
Found @6pm
TFTC

On my own this morning as Mr C is playing golf. We are on a little beginning of a streak so I ventured on here after an orienteering event at St Ives. Well done for a great location, clear hint and well kept cache. Found it more easily than some of the controls on the orienteering course!
Thankyou

With some time to spare before work this morning, I came for a quick PAG but I made a real mess out of this one.

I parked in the wrong spot, and the route I was trying to take to get to GZ was WAY more tricky than the T1.5 rating given, so i had to find another way in. Got there eventually to find then cache sitting open on the ground. I signed the log and put it all back together (cache is in surprisingly good condition) and camouflaged it well.

Found my way back to the car, only to discover that I no longer had my car keys, so I had to retrace my steps all the way back to the cache. A quick look revealed he car keys inside! Much more difficult than the ratings given, but that’s mostly my own fault.

TFTC

Very cool!

Another quick grab as part of the Mystery Tour with Tash n Lily. TFTC

Found with Knight-Trekkers. Thanks so much.

Great spot !!

Under the tree looking at the wrong bush until we found the right one.Nice spot!

TFTC found with moosey92

Found with Shasha91! 2nd in one day! Not too hard to find once on the right side of the creek TFTC

A nice hide, and the container is in great condition. TFTC.

Nice and easy find
Tftc

Great geocache and still here

I was sceptical of the cache being here because of the long line of did not finds, but this was very easy! Thank you!

Did not find this cache.
CO please check if the cache is still exists.
Maintenance required.

A lot of rain recently, may have washed this cache a way? A lot of DNf recently would be worth checking if still exists.

This bitch empty

Too over grown - looked for about 10 minutes and could not find

Very overgrown to a point it was a lil scary - did not find

You can see were the recent downpour has washed had washed all here away. Could not find it.

The recent diwnpour seems to have washed this area well. We did not find it

We loved looking for this geocache, we had to be very careful towards the edges as there was a short, steep decent into the creek surrounding the area. Just remember, it’s not where you think it is.

Tough find for me and a couple of creek crossings too. Had to read a couple of past logs to but this one out with crash2768 log being helpful to me, thanks Crownies

mozzie got me az filling out log

After a lengthy visit to the dentist in Pymble, I rewarded myself with a few geocaches in the Pymble area.
I enjoyed the tree lined street of this quiet residential area. On this weekday, the field was not muggled, so without anyone observing I could roam around the bushes. Of course I had to visit both sides of the creek before making a find!

TFTC Crownies!

My first find! Thanks Follow the hint and you’ll find it. I took something and left something.

First find GPS very close. Spotted by diggybambam TFTC

This cache took ages to locate as the cords had me on both sides of both creeks and I was about to walk away when I spied the cache in its hidey hole. TFTC Crownies.

Great cache

Nice quick find today tftc

Out and about enjoying the nice Sunday weather. Found pretty quickly TFTC

My little girl spotted it

A school full of muggles at the oval didn't put me off and I don't think anybody saw me. Had it quickly to hand and what a cornucopia of goodies it was ! TFTC Crownies

Located at 6:52pm. #711. That may have taken a while in the dark but I soon espied the cache and signed the log. Nice to make a find after finishing work. Спасибо! תודה! L’chaim! TFTC!

Our first geocache!

Found with O319. TFTC!

Found this one quickly

Nice scenic and safe spot here for a hide this size.

Found easily as it had no camo on it. Replaced as found.

Thanks for the hide.

Sunday soccer brought us down here today. While daughter practised for the game Geodad ventured into the undergrowth. Worked the wrong side for a little while before paying closer attention to the middle ground. Found under vines. Took the large tb to move on. Thanks for placing.

Nice area but its being over run by creepers making this easy find not so easy. I was just lucky that some extra camo made me look twice and I spied the container.
No super athletes gracing these fields today. I left a TB

Very hard to find location even though container is obvious.

This wasn't an easy find. The area looks quite different to early pics and there really aren't any bushes, just lots of creeper that I expect will be bushcared away sooner or later. Was about to leave and spotted it, well covered, about half way between two similarly large trees. All's well that ends. Thanks Crownies.

Very beautiful area, took us a while to find it with all those bushes but got there in the end TFTC

Started heading off across the oval and venture my way into the bush. Noticing the over growth and terrain rating but couldn’t find any spot where the cache would be. I tried on the other side of the creek and success!! CIH. Cache# 764 TFTC

Phew! Was almost ready to log a DNF on this one after a long search and almost falling into the creek several times. FYI - you don’t need to get too near to the creek! Don’t want anyone else trying what I did haha. Great hiding spot!! Actually found it on a last ditch effort as I made my way out ready to admit defeat. Alas, cane out victorious with CIH!! Thanks for bringing me to such a beautiful and tranquil place. SL TNLN TFTC!!

Decided to come out for a few semi local finds, and started with this. Finding myself in the right area with nothing happening at the oval apart from a dad and daughter flying a kite on the other side it was nice and peaceful. iPhone wasn't really cooperating as to which side of the clearing I needed to be and it took a bit of a search, in the end found the very well hidden cache a bit further from the 2nd largest tree in the area than I was expecting. Nice to tick it off the list when it was looking like it might have been going to be a DNF. Thanks Crownies.

Coming in via the Scout Hall, at first had us on the wrong side of the creek. Having searched a couple of locations, we soon realised that the Terrain rating did not make sense. Retracted to the correct side, and started the searching again. The GPSr was not to much help, possibly because of the trees and also the grey and murky weather. We also wondered about how large a 'large tree' is. Having rummaged through most of the vegetation, as it felt, several times, finally the cache revealed itself.

A Cache In Trash Out Event fairly close of home in a park I have not visited before? Yes, please! I wrangled in the company of AlphaDeltaIndigo and picked her up at Lindfield Station en route to the 'CITO - Seven Little Australians Park' (GC7GEMV) Multi Cache further down the road in Lindfield. Meeting up with a large group of fellow cachers, we grabbed a rubbish bag and ventured down the Two Creeks Track, into a surprisingly beautiful pocket of bush land. Along the way, we made minor detours to collect the clues for 'The Seven Little Australians Big Adventure' (GC79DYR) Multi Cache, but the main focus was picking up as much rubbish as possible. We concentrated our efforts along the bed of Gordon Creek and managed to make a dent in the seemingly infinite amounts of small plastic, as well as larger items of dumped items. After about an hour and a half, it was back up the top for a group photo and a geo-chat with the proud bunch of participants. Great job team and Thanks For The Cache In Trash Out Event Boswijk Posse!

While some of the Waypoint information seemed to be missing, or we had a case of cache blindness (most likely the latter), AlphaDeltaIndigo was able to able the remaining bits to piece together the final for the 'CITO - Seven Little Australians Park' (GC7GEMV) Multi Cache. A nice cache on its own, which takes you through a wonderful park, Thanks For The Multi Cache lolxdddd1234.

We found out that 'Pipeline People' (GC4E012) was about to be back online, with the help of BoogieRogue, so AlphaDeltaIndigo and I decided to take advantage of the moment. Glad to see it back online, Thanks For The Cache nooster205 and to BoogieRogue for performing the much needed maintenance.

The last cache AlphaDeltaIndigo and I would have time for today would be the 'Track and Field' (GC7BCRG) Regular sized Traditional in Pymble. There was a cricket match being played on the field, so not a good time to test our athletic speed against the benchmark of a one minute lap around the oval. We did, however, manage to skirt around the game and make our way into the bush land where the published co-ordinates were pointing. A lot of weeds and a required bush bash, made this one rather tricky but persistence paid off in the long run. Thanks For The Cache Crownies (MacklinDane).

Lots and lots and lots of looking, a ton of mozzie bites later, we found this container hidden deep deep deeeeeep under the leaf growth a few metres away! Cloud cover had GPS bouncing around. We returned it close to where the GPS said it should be there.
TFTC Crownies

Attempted this one a few days ago with BabyJMan and only logging a DNF now

Had an hour to burn after dropping a family member in St Ives and so wanted to keep the mini streak go.

After a DNF at Samuel King, needed a find. Got to GZ and initially ended up on what we thought was the wrong side of the river bank. Moved and found a more logical area to search, however plenty of mozzies, coupled with dense foliage made the search hard.

Will have to be back, not my favourite terrain to be searching in but the previous logs seem to suggest it's deceptively simple.

Previously logged under team account BoogieRogue. Re-logging with my individual account. Find #: 903

Buddy: None

Muggles: None

Weather: Dark

Cache condition: Good



We were orienteering in the area and decided to grab this one quickly after the event. As darkness was setting in we had a good look on both banks of the creek before deciding that it is getting too dark to actually find it in the thick undergrowth. As we were walking out I spied something and sure enough it was the cache though not painted in camo colours as expected. Quickly signed the logs and tucked it back to the hidey hole. TFTC TNLNSL.

Fantastic find ! Kids loved it. Left some toys behind for the next geocacher

Very cool. Wish I had my kid here with me to swap something. Maybe next time. Signed & put back in its home. TYFTF

How large is a large tree? Not as large as I thought.
Which side of the creek?
Having a bung but improving knee there was no way I was going to be able to jump the creek or climb up the bank so I went where I thought the GPS was pointing and where the largest trees were and began searching, then the GPS settled and said "other side of the creek". OK back and round I go and more searching.
After a few minutes I spotted something in one of the photos which another log suggested was helpful so I started looking from there and soon had CIH.
I signed the log and visited some TBs.

Maybe the cache description needs updating as it says the container is painted in camouflage colours but it isn't!

TFTC # 2179

Hadn't found a cache for a while so this was one in the radius to clean out. Parked on Bannockburn Road and walked over. The cricket match in progress meant I didn't skirt the boundary and take the logical way in but had to find my way through the degraded bush going down the tree fern slide to cross the creek before getting to GZ. Cache was well-exposed so after signing I put it back well under the weed cover. Probably not the best location if the bushcare group is working here. They are likely to throw the cache out.

Thanks!

Cache is so loaded with goodies, very hard to close
tftc

Fun find.cool toys.

These random bush hides are always difficult but, thankfully, this one did not take too long to locate.

Thanks Crownies.

Nice and easy. This cache had a lot of toys! Geokids took a toy and put in a bouncy ball.

Tftc

We crossed the oval and headed down to GZ, scaring a water dragon on the way. The cache was not hidden all that well, so we logged and tried to cover it a little more, but it is in an exposed place and the whole area looks like a bush care group is clearing it. Thanks MacklinDane for a good hide, we liked this area.

We found this today. We found the photo showing fencing in the distance very helpful. We logged our find and took a couple of trinkets. Replacing this weekend. Small items remain, cute for young children.

Crossed the deserted oval and made our way to the apex of the creeks.....searched a few areas before turning around and spotting the tell tale colour

A nice hide in a nice area

Surprisingly busy area, had to wait over 20 mins for some little shits to clear the area before a quick find was made. Tftc tnln

Find #: 1,619
Companions: None
Muggles: None nearby
Weather: Warm spring morning
Cache condition: Good, although no camo left

I first attempted this cache soon after it was placed, but came after dark and was unable to make the find with my phone's torch, so gave up quickly. Today I returned, using this as the turn-around point for my morning jog on a very warm spring morning. It turned out to be a rather frustrating experience, unfortunately, as I relied too much on the provided information rather than going back to basics. I headed to a point that showed 2m on my phone's GPS (albeit with 16m accuracy) and searched high and low, getting muddy shoes in the process. I took good note of the previous finder's bonus information, but it was a bit misleading ("arne" <> arne), and it was only when I had given up and was on the way out that I spotted the container. TNLNSL, then jogged back home. TFTC

Stopped off on my way back home from the Amateur Radio NSW (HAM Radio) bi-monthly Trash & Treasure sale at Quarry Road Dural, to have a look at this new one. Parked the geomobile in Birubi Avenue, then walked down past the scout hall and through the scrub to GZ.

Searched around the vegetation, as per the hint, and soon uncovered the hide and had CIH. TNLNSL, then replaced the nice generously sized cache container exactly as it had been found. TFTC Crownies.

Find #1942

[After three dnfs today I was determined this wouldn't be the fourth.
But it did give me trouble.
Firstly I approached from birubi ave, near the scout hall. This meant I had to skirt the roped off environmentally sensitive area before entering from the playing fields anyway.
Then I discovered I was on the wrong side of the creek. A perilous crossing later, I was hoping the hint would make for an easy find, it was not so.
As noted in some of the other logs, the hint had me looking in all the wrong places.
I have included my own encrypted hint below if you're struggling.
With the iPhone gps floating all over the place I simply fell back on instinct and soon had the cache in hand. Signed and replaced. It's in good condition and full of swaps.
Tftc.











My own hint:]
The best way to enter is from the break in the fence where there are two information plaques.
This will put you in the 'V' of the two small creeks which is where you want to be.
The cache is near the apex end of the 'V'.
It is under ground coverage rather than a bush, and was visible from the correct angle & height without disturbing the undergrowth.

Camo is almost gone. Started on the wrong side of the creek. Not really near a big tree as the hint says.
TFTC. The 4Rods.

I took the adventurous tack here crossing the creek three times!?!

I think the hint was more of a hindrance than a help as it doesn't really appply!?!

Otherwise it is a good size and not a bad hide.

TFTC.

Had to take off my shoes in front of a really good looking boy just to find a box full of good stuff and then realised I had nothing to trade in next time ay

5/9/17. 4:30 PM. Cache #5282.
1 find; Turramurra

Finally returned to have another crack at this one; the FTF that got away.

Having received some helpful intel, I discovered just how close I had been last Monday. Sigh. This time, only a few minutes to turn it up, sign the log and replaced it. Boy, the hint was way wrong before, slightly adjusted since then but still doesn't seem quite right. TFTC.
} : )

#4333 (3 of 3 today)

A new month. A new season. New(ish) caches. What more could anyone want on a pleasant day?
Decided to go for three recent placements to the north, starting around Hornsby.
While there I also grabbed some info on another cache - who knows how long that will take to finish?

Found all three I went for and progressed the other. Huzzah!
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Final find of the day - and took quite a while to uncover the prize here.
The problem was my iPhone was wandering a bit under the trees and I was unsure which side of the creek I needed to be on.
Thought I had the right one and checked a number of spots but nothing. After 20 minutes I tried the other side - still nothing but the iPhone is now consistantly pointing back to the other side. Great.

Relocated again and had a think.
The most likely spot is one of the first I'd checked. So checked it again.

This time I spotted the container - deeper under cover than I'd looked before.
Completed signing duties and replaced.

Sun is setting, time for home.

Nice to get a new cache relatively close to home to keep my small streak alive. Looks like the oval is getting a bit of TLC as we approach spring. Short stroll to GZ and just followed the iPhone to the nicely sized cache. Plenty of swag for the young ones.
TFTC Crownies

DNF @ 7:30; took me ages to line up trees & tree ferns to the spoiler photo but was eventually able to which took me back to a tree I'd checked already which suited the hints and coords well. After half an hour, gotta get to work. Maybe gone? #dnfpride

Joint first to find by Nanny and Bo and Bella at Waggy.
Nanny did the honours
It was not so difficult to find except that it was not too close to a tree
We signed the log
We took nothing and left nothing
Thanks for this rather considered cache

Joint **FTF** with Nanny and Bo. More to follow TFTC.

Found by these grand old cachers.
Not too hard a find.
We hope the cache is not spoiled by "phone - a - friend"
