Quick detour while doing weed control along the creek. No sign. Photo attached. Tftc.
Easy find. Just need to look and its obvious. TFTC now I need to get me a stamp
Took a while to find because there's lots of places to hide the cache.
It just looked out of place where it is located.
Nice work, jaybeem!

Thanks jaybeem! for placing this cache

Yes!!! Was always waiting to find one of these caches in the real world. The barcode from the store still being on it is pretty funny too lmao

Finally can put a smiley face to this one after a previous DNF . Coordinates spot on was able to spot the hide . TFTC Jaybeen and for maintaining it
On to my second cache of the day. I was surprised to spot this almost instantly despite it being well nestled and was further surprised to be signing a blank log.
Also someone over there has a rather fancy pool.

A great day of caching in and around Campbelltown and George river. Caches along the river reserve were great, struggled with the town caches as usual in Campbelltown.

Thought that I would go a bit further afield than the area around Campbelltown so my old home suburb of Macquarie Fields and surround. When we first move to the Macfields in 1968 there was an old house here in the park I think Milton House now long gone. TFTH
Hi Jaybeam your cache is in good condition and accounted for. Logbook dry. TFTC
Decided to head southwest today, explore a new area and stretch my legs.
Found cache out in the open, signed a returned to hint area, with camo

Out on a solo drive today and ended up in the area so decided to pop in to grab a cache for my daily streak. Second time here, this was much easier during the day than when I came at night! A quick wander around and my eyes landed on the prize. Thanks for the cache!
Today is a beautiful day to be strolling through Milton Park. The sunshine is out and the birds and chirping. Im watching wrens flitter by over the sporting fields which are surprisingly empty on a weekend. Honestly I was thinking i would be devoting a little bit of time to this one, but had CIH very quickly. Spot on co-ords. TFTC!
A very quick and straightforward find which was surprising given D rating. I suspect the camo had not quite been put back exactly as intended - tried to ensure it was a little better placed once log signed. Quite nostalgic as I grew up just down the road in Ingleburn - I remember my sister teaching me to drive close-by at Mac Fields station car park! Tftc!

Streak Day #2472 - Out this way with Dave8153 for a quick find and a walk to keep our streaks alive. TFTC
Located at 9:31pm. #1058.
Even at this late hour, such a nice walk through the park. Very refreshing after a busy day and a good way to begin what will be a busy new week.
The cache and log were both in fine condition and replaced as found.
Большое Спасибо! תודה! L’chaim! TFTC!
Cheers for the placement Jaybeem!

Found with Deep_99 after a short search to keep the streak going. SL #4404 on streak day #2789 TFTC
As I got to GZ I saw it could be in a number of places. After a bit of scratching around I soon got to it. Great place to hide a cache. TFTC
After failing last time it was an accidental quick find this time. Complete fluke! TFTC! This is my second last missing calendar day - so the caches here were a great excuse for a walk
Seems as with the last 2 geocaching logs a DNF I think this one has gone walkabouts too
Spent about half an hour here with MatG76 looking high and low. A fair amount of debris on the ground to sift through but still found nothing. Previous geocacher also DNF. Owner may need to check this is still in place
Hehehe. Too tricky for us today. And I was cold! Time to go. Maybe next time I visit I'll do the remaining caches in the area. Thanks!
jaybeem! I didn’t find your cache Milton Park Grove on 8/6/19, 3:19 pm. Searched around but found nothing.
No wonder it took so long- it was almost completely covered by detritus from the trees. Great camo- I've never seen one quite like this before.
Found with Jaybeem! This one took longer than it should have, love the container.
Time to grab a few of jaybeem's caches, so this morning I went for a wander around Milton Park. Boy there are a lot of fine sporting facilities here. Here I parked on the access road to facilities and walked the short distance to GZ and after circling around for a minute or two I spied something that looked out of place and it was CIH. TFTC jaybeem.
Out for a walk with the Scouts to get them out of the hall for a while.
Was found by one the scouts, his first.
Kids enjoyed seeing the trains pass each other in the dark.

#5504 (4 of 9 today)
Originally the Geowife was heading north for lunch, leaving me free to cache as I may. But then her lunch was cancelled, then modified. Hmmm. If it wasn't for the rain I'd still head off to rack up some numbers...
Then I checked the BOM Rain Map. Seems that if I head past Liverpool I'll miss most of the wet. And there are quite a few unfound caches there for me to plunder.
I had hoped to add one or two of the higher terrain caches, but it was just a little too wet to try if I didn't want to get soaked in a bush bash - done that before, not fun.
Went for 8 Traditionals and one pre-solved puzzle. And got the lot - which included a previous DNF! Good day's work!
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
First one today that actually took a while to spot.
But finally the rain stopped so the only wet was underfoot and on the leaves.
Two goes around near GZ and nothing - looking high and low and prodding wet places with a stick. So went for the clue - OK, that narrows it down. Another time around, and, oh... haven't seen one of those for a while. It blends in very well.
Completed signing duties and replaced.

Once I'd found Macquarie Field's Station I walked down Railway Parade to Milton Park. Looks like a nice complex but sooo dry, needs a good water. I soon spotted the grove.
The co-ordinates were perfect and it was a very quick find here even though the camo was unusual and it was well hidden. I've only seen this camo once before, more suited to the northern hemisphere but it was well disguised here. I signed the log and visited some TBs I carried for the trip.
I continued my walk through the park and spotted a muggle mowing the bare earth on the far side of the oval! At least he was trying to improve the turf.

#4662- thomo31 still needed three more caches to reach her 50th find for the mythical creatures souvenir, so I suggested the Milton Park caches. Parked on the side of the road opposite and headed across and into the grove. Surprisingly, we found it pretty quickly. I had found another exactly the same in Harrington Park yesterday- and this was the first time I'd seen this particular variation. Thanks
Found with WaywardWoman on a caching day out. WW found it. First time I have seen this type of cache. Signed log and returned as found. TFTC
Find 6 of 7 while out with the geokiddies caching along the Casula to Ingleburn train line.
Finishing off the Milton Park series, we strolled over to this one. Taking note of the name of the cache we quickly sussed out where to look and were surprised by the sneaky hide! Love the camo! Have never seen one of the these in the field but have heard they exist, nice to find something new! Signed the log and returned as found, all in good order here.
Thanks for the tour of this park jaybeem! It made for a great morning out with the kiddies. Lots of fun finds.

Aha- we were on to this one pretty quickly after finding blueandgolder's version of this just yesterday. Funny we hadn't seen this type of camo at all and then we see it twice in a row. For some reason it makes me want to pat it! TFTC- lovely area.
Found with Lucky Cricket, Little Cricket and QAVX. What great camo. Thanks jaybeem for this series a Favourite point from me. TFTC
This is a really nice morning for caching, great time for a nice walk along here. Great camo TFTC
It has been a while since visiting this park so it was good to be back and find the first of three, thanks.
Got to GZ and saw a geotrail and thought it must be here. Starting scratching around, no it’s not there, went around another way, that thing looks out of place, yes the cache it was. I have the same camo in one of my caches so I knew it was the cache.
