Yep this one needs some attention. Sitting on ground . Tftc big construction happening here

Its there, but not attached by much.TFTC

TFTC. Nice quick find. Is going to need some maintenance very soon as not much holding it place and I did my test to reattach but dont think it will last.

It’s not where you think is

Found it - log to follow

Well it was the end for me! The last one for the day, and what a way to go out. Thanks to the CO for allowing me to log a FOUND IT despite my incident with the cache. One day when they mow that grass, you might find the original cache. TFTC

The joys of being short. I easily spotted the cache, but in my attempt to retrieve it by jumping, it fell into the long grass. I searched for awhile but couldn't see it to replace. CO has been informed. I did have a mint tin to tape at the bottom of the pole. CO will replace soon.

Didn’t have a penn last time I found it

Good one

A quick grab here. So many new houses going up here. Reminds me of the song for the show weeds “little boxes on the hillside, little boxes made of ticky tacky, little boxes on the hillside and they all look just the same.

Haha took a few more seconds than it should have

TFTC log has been filled , we added more paper. Enjoy!

Log completely full so unable to sign. TFTC

A straightforward find while cherry picking my way along Richmond Rd to Windsor this morning. It was where I expected. By the way, the log is full and needs replacing.

Thanks for the hide Deep99.

TFTC nice quick find. Found with Twinkletoes72 Log was full couldnt sign

Found with gusph, out on our morning walk. TFTC hubby unimpressed at being used as a ladder. Log full couldn't sign

TFTC. Quick find whilst out walking Geodog Atlas.

Lucky we had bicycles to give us extra lift!

OCW aubeasty today to try and bring my yearly numbers back up before the end of the year. COVID, no NSW mega and more work than usual have meant that my numbers haven’t been crash hot. A lovely sunny day made the perfect way to rectify this situation by bike.

With all the works going on in the area it feels like it’s the end of the natural environment and the beginning of over population . We needed a TOTT to access the cache, even better as a team. The log was completely full and needs replacing.

New log needed

We could see the end in sight by the time we got to this cache, only needed a few more now. Quick find and on to the next.

Namaste

Log needs replacing, no room left!

Nice quick easy find. Thanks for the hide.

nearest to our lodgings.

Our adventure really started a couple of years ago with our cruise booking and the savings plan. This year we arrived Feb 6 and had three days to explore Sydney before cruising with Kteeeee and Mr. Kteeeeee, MissPeach13 and MrPeach13 and WRTagalong. signed CCC. We had a great trip with no cases of Co-vid19. We arrived back to Sydney Mid march. The others flew home. WRT and I continued on. We had some time in Brisbane and then cut our trip short as the virus was causing too many challenges and our Country called us home. We stayed quiet and flew out the 25th arriving to a ghost city in Vancouver.

These caches are only being logged now that I am hooked up to the computer and I can find the caches I missed logging. If I have made an error please let me know if something seems wrong as time has passed and my memory is not what it used to be.

Thank you to all the Aussies who set out these caches, maintained them and to the Aussies who offered us shelter and long term shelter if we could not get home. If I had to be stuck anywhere in the world I would choose Australia!

log nearly full a frequent visited one. tftc

Dropped by on our way over the mountains.

To complete the final stage of my Night at the Museum challenge, I needed a few more caches. This series on and around Richmond Road has been on my radar for a long time, so now it is the time to dust off my foldable push bike and get going.

It turned out to be a nice afternoon with many finds and over 15km of bicycle fun,

Quick find on a jewel heist

Nice quick one for the mystery. TFTC.

Found with the phlApp and a magician in our hunt for caches in the current Mystery at the Museum souvenir challenge. With the cache in hand we signed the log before replacing as found. Both the cache container and log are in good condition. Thanks for the cache Deep_99.

Out with phlphotos and JJCC in our hunt for diamonds, rubies, sapphires, emeralds, and topaz jewels whilst solving the current Mystery at the Museum souvenir offering. Parking off Watkin Cres in Marsden Park we made our way along Richmond Road by foot as we filled in some spare time this afternoon. Despite two frustrating DNFs earlier, all remaining caches were found very quickly with spot-on coordinates. With the cache in hand we signed the log before replacing as found. Both the cache container and log are in great condition. Thanks for the cache Deep_99.

The following TBs came through for the mileage : Bob geoMinion, Dave geoMinion, Evil geoMinion, Jerry geoMinion, Larry geoMinion, Mary Hyde's Treasure, Stuart geoMinion, teamMerlin's 7 Deadly Ducks Tag (Lust), Vanlith The Youngling, Hidden Creatures Geocoin TB, teamMerlin's Football

Out with teamMerlin & Splitty Miller JJCC after caches that met the requirements for the Mystery at the Museum this was one that we were after. After the first 2 finds we got 2 DNF started to think the caching gods were against us & I couldn't find anything for a blood sacrifice. We then found this one quickly

With cache in hand we signed the log and replaced as found. Both the cache and log are in good condition. Thanks for bringing me to the area and thanks for placing the cache Deep 99

Left Port Macquarie heading south to the Mega event At Canberra.
Our 3rd stop on the way staying at the Richmond club.
After a breakfast at Ikea, hubby got on his bike & rodae along this trail stopping to look for the many caches.
Thanks for placing this cache Deep_99

Decided to go caching this way north today. Did not really check any weather and just left early. As I was already driving for an hour the radio was talking about 40+ temps, what did I get myself into? Still sticked to the plan, did a nice bike ride in sub 30 at that time and a nice breeze. As it really got hot I had shelter in my car and was able to do a lot of driveby's. Thanks for putting out all those caches!

Visiting the area and decided to have a go at this trail of caches along Richmond Rd which has appeared since my last visit. This was the sixth and after a short search the cache was in hand.

Once the log was signed all was returned as found.

In Marsden Park to walk the Richmond Road Cache Path. Gorgeous sunny day. Needed a local tool to grab this one. And despite the admonition we did a little dance after logging! SL TFTC Cheers... Gaztek

Now, I understand the hint. TFTC

CACHE #98
Found at 12:05hrs, 12 of 12 located today.

This was the last find for the day. It was stinking hot, I was soaked in sweat, water bottle empty, my feet felt like they were going to fall off, and I had a looooonnng walk back to the car

At GZ I used a TOTT (tool of the trade) and had CIH. Signed log and replaced exactly as found. TFTC

Thanks for the great hide

TFTC.
Lucky im tall

Another quick find. Could see this one from a ways away.

Not sure what these little road ends are for, rather strange really.

Thanks for the cache!

What a fun way to spend the last day of the school holidays with the kids. With the pushbikes and a mountain of enthusiasm we parked about half along this mini series before find the ones in a westerly direction first.

Peddling back into the headwind proved difficult but we eventually found all the ones to the east, before feasting on Macca's for lunch. Thanks for a fun series of caches that the Rats and mini rats enjoyed doing together.

Came out here with the Rats for a bit of fun on our bikes. While the skies were gloomy and the wind blew hard into our face, it didn't stop us finding this series of caches and earning a stop at Maccas and Starbucks.
Thanks.

Quick find saw it on approach but due to height was un able to sign will come back with tott at a later date

Found by Mary & David at 1445. Yes, it could be either, so we found it at the second of the alternatives. We still have a couple of hours caching before we have to change for dinner tonight. Our thanks to Deep_99.

Glorious sunny Spring day, perfect for a walk and a few caches! TFTC

Today was a beautiful Sunday and we decided to go out West and finish off the Richmond Road Cache Path, which we had commenced upon some months ago. Our method was to park the car in the middle of some caches, then walk first south, then north and then back to the car. We then moved the car and repeated the exercise. After having completed the remaining 11 caches today the step counter in the phone showed a bit more than 8000 steps.

Some extended actions required.

Had no problems in finding this cache. The cache was found quickly and easily. The log was signed and then the cache was replaced as found. Thank you Deep_99 for placing this cache.

Find number 4212.

Mrs Booo dropped Mr Booo off on her way to do some shopping with Booo Booo

A nice quick find to and the seventeenth one along the walk along Richmond.

Thanks Deep_99 for placing this cache.

I received a reminder that I only had a week left to claim the final souvenir, so I hitched my biked onto the rack and headed out to Richmond Rd.

After parking at the hardware store, this was 10 of 22 of what would turn out to be a leisurely ride along the bike path. All the coords were super accurate which made for pretty quick finds. No dancing required to grab this one.

Lucky we had a TOTT

Used our tott

Found during a bike ride down the cycle path along Richmond Road on a pleasant winter afternoon. Quick and easy find, not many muggles around today. TFTC Deep_99!

Great little container, tftc

7/7/18. 10:17 AM. Cache #5605.
10th of 13 this morning - Marsden Park.

A nice morning for a bit of walking along Richmond Rd. For the first leg, I parked in the Bunnings carpark, and walked north to pick up the first 6 caches, then turned around and walked back to Bunnings (via Maccas).

I then drove up to the other end, parking at the Elara display village, and walking down almost to where I had previously turned around. In this second leg, I managed to find:

Feel the Power
After Pius Ln
Puma Views
Beginning or End
890770
Secret Squirrel
Elara

Like the first caches, these were also mostly quick finds; I felt lucky to get the last 3 because my iPhone battery was down to its last few percents. TFTC and series.
} : )

Another good find along the pathway.

Found with Coybear2000. We were nearby doing some shopping so we decided to try for this one. We parked nearby and had a short walk to GZ. We started searching and soon spotted the hide. TFTC.

In the area for a bit of shopping, so parked nearby and headed for GZ with Trodectus. Arrived GZ and quickly had CIH. Log signed and returned. TFTC

Out quickly to get a cache to keep my streak going - TFTC Deep_99, I really enjoyed it!

#5 on our evening trek with atkinsonclan6. Quick find. TFTC.

Never used my phone to whack an out of reach cache before. Tftc

No goats today but found the cache

Easy find on the road to nowhere. TFTC Deep_99

TFTC

Just as we approached the male goat hopped through the fence to meet us with a worrying stance, I was a bit wary having flashbacks of the unfriendly neighbourhood goat from my childhood that would chase and buck us but Wilfred as Gabstar called him was happy to stand guard, different kind of cache guardian for a change, Gabstar danced and chatted away to Wilfred whilst we completed log signing duties, police stopped at lights didn't seem phased at all , I mean people dancing and talking to goats at 1am is normal right? just about to leave when the rest of the goats escaped for a night wander and headed around the corner, we crossed our fingers they wouldn't go on the road.. Always something to add to our geocaching stories...TFTC!

Well it's not night caching unless something weird happens... And random goats coming out to greet us fit the bill. Gabstar named the leader Wilfred. He seemed to answer to it too! TFTC

Night caching with AWTYOW, Brizzle 11 and Pitman Clan - lots of laughs and caches along the way! Lots of loose goats running around in the dark! TFTC

Beginning or the end?
Well this is the end of my caching expedition for today. 6/6 finds and now its back to the Lindt outlet, the other reason for coming out here today.

I also hope its not the end of all the beautiful trees you can see about 100m from the road as they build the new development in this area.
It's a good view looking west from this area. I could see what I hope was a hazard reduction burn and not a bushfire in the distance.

I had to disobey the hint to retrieve and replace the cache, difficult for me!

There's still 5 caches along this road which I've left for the next time I visit my newly found favourite shop, the Lindt outlet.

TFTC # 2530

And dance we did. Lol tftc

Nice clue lol. Pretty windy out here today, but loving the cool weather. Good stretch but found pretty quickly TFTC

Passing through with the life partner and I stopped for just one. I could stop for more, but one never wants to annoy the loved ones with overkill. I can do overkill on my own time.

We found the caches south of IKEA on a previous visit. This time, we brought our bikes with us and headed north and found all of the caches finishing up at Elara. Geodad found this one pretty quickly. Our 11th cache for the afternoon. TFTC!

Time to venture from the eastern beaches to check out the Richmond Road Cache Path
The last time I drove along Richmond Road it was only a single lane roadway with trees growing beside the road. I was gob smacked by the amount of development going on everywhere and the volume of constant traffic was unbelievable – where are all those trucks coming from or going to?
I started at the Squeaks Bridge cache and finished the day at the Elara cache, only because the traffic heading west was starting to build up. For most of the trail I was able to park in one of the small turnaround spots off Richmond Road and walk to two or three caches at each stop. I had a couple of dnf’s at Thebe and Green Space View 2 and somehow forgot about Green Space View all together. All in all a very enjoyable day out in the sunshine. Thanks for the caches and showing me this new part of the world Deep_99.
