Thanks to the co for the updated info! Quick find at near gz.. found with Storeyteller Tftc!
We are on another short (three day) caching holiday in North Western Sydney, staying for two nights in a park cabin at the Ingenia Holidays Avina BIG4 Holiday Park at Vineyard. Hoping to collect some more previously solved Mystery/Puzzle caches, complete some of the newly placed Adventure Labs and SideTracked caches, and accumulate some "units of fuel" for the new "Cosmic Quest" souvenir challenge. Photos will be uploaded to logs on our return to home base.Today (day 2) we headed up to Richmond for a SideTracked MultiCache and some Adventure Lab stages, then some more Adventure Lab stages at North Richmond, before travelling via Grose Vale Road to Kurrajong for another SideTracked MultiCache and numerous Adventure Lab stages and an AL Bonus cache. Also crossed paths with two groups of other cachers while at Kurrajong, which ended up looking like a mini Event, so was a nice surprise. Returned via Bells Line of Road, collecting some Traditional caches along the way, including some tree caches requiring our 10 metre TOTT. A total of 24 finds for the day (day 2).Stopped here today, following my DNF from May last year, to have another look for this cache. Well the two of us searched GZ for some time, but once again failed to find any trace of a cache. The hint is very specific, but no cache was found there, so don't know what we are missing. So it's another DNF from us today.
A quick park n grab with great views Thanks Cruiseforever for placing this cache GC7PGVN
A quick and easy find here, together with ilook4geo. Signed log and were soon on our way. Thanks for the cache go to Cruiseforever.
Out to pick up some localish caches today, accompanied by goingplaces2. This one was a nice quick find on a quiet day. No barkers here todqy. TFTC.
A quick grab on my way through Kurrajong. A nice view of the flood waters around North Richmond and Richmond.
Oldmorty and I found ourselves in the Kurrajong/Kurmond area and looked around to see what caches were available.This was a very easy find owing to the generous hint.TFTC
After a weekend in Blackheath, frazeydaze and I took the long way home through Kurrajong to do the recently published Adventure Lab and also grab a few caches along the way. After a brief search we soon had our hands on the prize. TFTC
Visited it during 28-days geotrip to Australia, N.Caledonia, Vanuatu, Fiji, Am.Samoa, Fr.Polynesia with Marci, Ch. Sometimes we logged as "MT" or "Jonea" or "MTCh". Thanks for showing nice caches and places. MT-Jonea from Brno city in Czechia EU. B.tt
No barking muggles today. The little park is fenced off, but the cache is still accessible. TFTC Cruiseforever

Fourth visit to this one and things seemed to have changed much. Easy find this time.
GZ seems to be fenced off and currently inaccessible. Needs to be Temporarily Disabled.
Sent geoboy in to find. The gates are closed. Roughly 10m from GZ. So happy to find with Billio. So rest assured everyone it is there. TFTC.
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. A total 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 fourth one I came to.
This was going to be my last find for the trip, but sadly it ended up being a DNF. The little park is closed for redevelopment. Had a look as best I could through the fence, then a bloke walked up from the nearby house and started questioning what I was up to, so it was time to leave. TFTH anyway Cruiseforever.

Bark park is closed for redevelopment. We climbed thru the fence but still could not find
Dnf area is closed and under application for redevelopment. Message sent to co.
Dan had a bit of a bark and a scratch around. However, we could not locate the cache. Bad luck.
Quick find and I had the place to myself. Even a table to do the duties!

We looked at all 4 metal garden cases but could not find. Looked around too. Did meet a nice lizard
Coordinates were off and not sure what we were looking for, photos or hints would help future cachers
This is an amazing spot and it must be an even more amazing hiding place because we couldn’t find it! We’ll get it one day, though…..mark my words
Now this would be a spot to bring your geodog to have a social outing with his/her friends - plenty of seats, coffee nearby, even a vet next door if you need it but hopefully not, and its quaintly landscaped and to top it off there's fantastic views.
There were a couple of users in the bottom paddock but the top area was deserted except for me.
I could see something matching the hint as I entered the park and began to carefully check it. Hmm, nothing. Second check, nope. Widened my search to nearby objects but still no luck.
Ah well. I decided to move on then and as I walked over to take a photo of the view before I left I spotted the devious cache. Thank goodness, wouldn't have wanted to leave this great spot empty handed!

A second visit and I found 2 caches in this spot!! Brought my dog Jaspa also and we made a friend! TYFTC
After reading previous logs claiming it was close to the entrance, the cache was soon found, which was excellent as this place is packed. TFTC
Fun find! A little bit away form marked location. Pay attention and o the hint. TYFTC!
Was a little far off from the location but easy find if you follow the hint rather than The meters away
TFTC. Quick find. Unfortunately Geodog Atlas was not with us today. It would be a well suited place for him.
Quick find as nobody was here this afternoon. All quiet in Kurragong.

I was out today on a caching run around the area visiting Nth Richmond Glossodia,Freemans Reach and up to Kurrajong Heights.
I had an excellent day caching out here finding almost all that I searched for,
Today was extremely warm and dry with a thick smoke haze blanketing throughout however this didnt dampen the day in the slightest,
It was a huge day with many finds so a big thank you to all the COs for placing their enjoyable hides,I do apologies for my generic logs.
Thanks for the cache

Found thanks to advice in previous logs re coords being 10m out. Stick nearer to the main entrance! TNLN TFTC
Awesome little dog park, so many at play today. Took a bit of search but geo sense kicked in and wasn't too long before CIH
Of cause I found it in the last place that matched the hint, 10m SW of my indicated GZ, nice spot.
