Riverstone Museum Riverstone, New South Wales, Australia
By goingplaces2 on 23-Apr-19. Waypoint GC86QQ3

Did a cache check and found this one has gone AWOL, so it is time to retire it permanently.

Had fun with the puzzle, but no luck with the cache today. I searched GZ thoroughly, even pulling down spiderwebs full of leaves and dried grass to be certain it wasn't hiding behind them.

Log to follow

Was doing a nearby Al with T, decided to do this cache as well. Gathered info and headed off, a few muggles were about near GZ but after a short wait coast was clear. Cache located after short search. Log signed and returned. TFTC

Found with [@coybear2000](http://coord.info/PR9547H) . We'd decided to try an AL to get a bit of an exercise walk and this one was close to where we'd parked. We walked to the listed co-ords, obtained the numbers and worked out the new co-ords. There were muggles about, doing muggle-things, so we were able to search without much trouble. GPS took a little while to settle, but once it did it was a quick find. Log signed and all replaced and we started on the AL. TFTC.

Out and about on a walking tour of Riverstone to find a few new caches that has been published since I was last here. This was the last for the day -- actually I had solved the coordinates first however there was a muggle sitting at GZ earlier, so I left to find a few other nearby caches, returning several hours later to find the park deserted. I had read a few previous finder logs on my way to GZ which gave me a good idea of where to look, and I had CIH very quickly. SL and replaced, thanks for bringing me here and TFTC goingplaces2!

Out for a quick walk around rivo and thought I would check the gz on this on. After doing the sums it was within my circuit so I went for the find. Struggled until I changed altitude.

Full log to follow

In town today to grab a couple of lab caches, one with a WP here. So after doing the lab question I set about grabbing the info for the multi and after checking my maths a few times had a set of numbers for GZ.

I headed off and was soon parked nearby and headed for GZ. Once at GZ it wasn't long and the cache was in hand. Once the nice new log was signed all was returned as found.

Container has been replaced and is ready to go again. Cache on!

Disabled due to muggle activity. Will replace soon.

Definitely got the coords right but couldn't find it there at all

A quick easy multi cache found when we stopped for lunch. OCW Brewmaker. TFTC goingplaces2

First rule of caching, check the digits. We mixed up B and C, so had GZ over 1.8km away which looked wrong on Google Maps. While checking out the AL, we returned and saw our error. And bingo, GZ was much closer and matched the previous logs. Even at GZ, little old Brew could reach it with no muggles to bother us. TFTC

TFTC Thank you for hiding this cache. You have shown us a new place and have helped make geocaching an enjoyable activity.

That was a tricky one!

Disappointed that the museum is closed. Tftc

A nice easy multi for a Sunday morning. Did the maths and GZ looked good and soon had cache in hand. Did the legals and replaced as found. TFTCM

Today I decided to have an early break from work(ing from home) and head out to grab some geocaches. Wrestling my way through school-traffic it took me a long time to drive from Castle Hill to Riverstone.

After an enjoyable bike ride through Riverstone, it was time to head home. As I passed the museum I noticed the geocaching app showed a multi-cache. I could not resist and pulled over, collected the numbers needed and drove over to the other side to find the cache.

The cache was found in good condition. After signing it was really time to head home.

TFTC. Quick easy find

Drove to Riverstone this morning cv with the adventure lab as an incentive. Turned home with a lot more finds then anticipated! That always good. Lots of interesting containers in the area.

This was the second of two finds for me today. After locating, ‘Ropes Crossing Station’, Mizmaz and I headed towards Riverstone for this multi as I am looking to complete more multis and Mizmaz had already located this one. We found ourselves at the mercy of the traffic due to the level crossing, but eventually we made to the vicinity of GZ. Having already collected the information, I checked a couple of different spots, and then realised I needed some additional height. Given my short height, I had to search by feel until I laid my hands on the cache. SL. TFTC.

TFTC. Nice simple "MC". Quick find at GZ. Geodog Atlas was not with us today.

A nice quick multi in a pleasant park. TFTC

Lucky for a quick find here. Thanks.

Quickest find! ozuk got it before sevabo and myself! Thanks goingplaces2 for bringing us here.TFTH

Bumped ozuk at the park, she grabbed it before us. SL and replaced. Thanks goingplaces2 for the cache.

Nicely placed for someone tall like Dan. GR8. TFTC

We were finally able to come down and grab this one!

We haven’t cached properly in so long! It’s great to be back.

Geocaching back to being the family’s no. 1 priority!

This cache was a little higher than the GeoKids liked and too high for them to retrieve.

That’s okay, it’s still great to get a good find. Thank you for the cache.

??

On a very wet day, we ventured out to take the air, and grab a couple of caches.

Thank you for this one.

Interesting area.

Tftc!

Found it

I succumbed to temptation today after 6 weeks of restraint! We were visiting my cuddle muggle's best friend and at one point while they chit chatted away, I ducked out to buy some stuff I needed at Bunnings ... and then took the long way back to her house, for no reason other than to allow me to find a few caches. I must say that it felt really good to be able to pursue my favourite outdoor pastime again after such a long break ... and the irony of it all is that I never got closer than 100m to another person while I did so.

A straightforward find here, made easier because there wasn't a soul in sight ... which was a bit of a surprise. Thanks for creating this multi, which I assume must have replaced another cache because I'm pretty sure I've looked for a cache in this park previously.

On my small cache round today I also stopped at this little multicache.

Thank you
Team sissifalke

Being a really hot day this was an easy multi to do. Thank you goingplaces2.

#5203- Out caching in the area with thomo31. A quick easy multi. Found while some council workers looked on. Thanks

Found with WaywardWoman while caching early before a predicted very hot day. TFTC

We came here to find our cache for the day but were hindered by muggles at GZ. The puzzle was quickly solved in the car before driving to GZ but we just couldn't wait for the muggles to move on who looked like they were set to sit there for a while. Will probably go back another day to grab this one.

Loved the old station. Wish the museum was open.
Puzzle solved and cache found

Found with bedlem2 & kazzacosmo

Interesting place will have to come back when museum is open

A fun little number.

Heading back home from a day out when we decided to cut through Riverstone to get out of the traffic building up over on Richmond Road. Remembered we still had this unfound multi from back in April, so drove over to the parking area. As it was raining, GZ was nice a clear today which made for an easier hunt. That said it still took us a few minutes to spot something out of place. Making use of the inbuilt TOTT we extracted the container from its hide and with the cache in hand we signed the log and replaced as found. Both the cache container and log are in good condition. Thanks for the cache goingplaces2.

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, TEAL OWL, 1000 Find Minion (which was actually in a cache in South Sydney), Spawn

This being my closest to home unfound, had to do it, stopped for a burger over the road and had a look around. Tftc

Staying at my cousin’s the night before a family Christening, noticed this multi had popped up since I was last in the area. Usually avoiding caches where distance from waypoint to cache is unknown and time is limited, managed to solve and plot a likely GZ from home using other research sources. After a full day’s travel, arrived after dark which actually helped making the grab without arousing too much attention of the extra tool I (personally) needed to reach it.

TFTC. Found with geo family.

Find number 4661.

A nice quick multi easily found in a nice quiet area.

Thanks goingplaces2 for placing this cache

Wandered through on the 12th May, from my past notes, should see my signature on the log back then. I managed to turn up on the event but unaware of the publishing back then too.
Must admit a struggle at GZ but CIH eventually, thanks going places 2

This cache was an easy find once we knew where to look. TFTC.

OCW Sensible Shoes and Shoes Junior. This was our second visit for the week as we came here yesterday. Unfortunately a muggle was sitting at GZ so we came back today.. SQuick find by Dad. Signed as Shoes x3. TFTC

We had a CO tip to help find this one, but didn't make it back to search, before Blundo's visit and rehide. Made it back today (yesterday's attempt was aborted with a local sitting at GZ enjoying a beverage) and immediately spotted it (I think the tip we picked up no longer applies with the current hide). TFTC

TFTC with Pulloa

Nice simple multi

Found with BrodyT2010

Read the details, did my calf, approached GZ to find the cache on the ground. Replaced it where I’d hide it.

Good to go.

This should have been an easy little multi but for some reason we had great difficulty. Thought we were onto something but alas not. After confirmation from the CO it was still in place back we came. Wow really....how did we miss that?! Tftc

Wow this 1 gave us a bit of trouble finding. But finally persistence paid off and we found what we were looking for TFTC

D'oh! We couldnt find this obe. Was about to give up and thecrain hit again confirming the DNF diagnosis. We did enjoy a beautiful full arch rainbow from rhe car though.

Came through this morning but unfortunately there was a muggle at GZ who didn't look like they were going to move any time soon. Will be back to collect this one at another time.

Second trip to Rivestone by train in two days.
I was at the event right near this museum when the cache was published. This is a long way from home and out of my cache publication notification range and being as I don't like to just haphazardly join a group FTF hounds but prefer to do the solving myself I left it last visit.

So here I am today.
Found the information and calculated GZ, checked it out, very good co-ordinates so quickly had CIH. After signing the log I checked out what I could see of the museum from the park. This sort of thing interests me so I should have come next Sunday! I did read the information about the Riverstone Meat Works. I wish they had a map so you could see the extent of the site the meat works covered.

Off on a walk to grab more caches in Riverstone.

Found it quite the joke about an error of 80m in the gz until i was reminded by the cache owners about a phone call for a ftf on a cache of my own that turned out to have an error of a km. Group find at the event. Tftc.

Found at the event. TFTC

That was a bit of fun! Wandering around to see if I could score a FTF. TFTC

Oops. Letter substitution went a bit astray but had now been corrected. Sorry for any inconvenience.

#2693 a group find at the event for welcoming home of the CO from their 6 month trip. It is so much easier caching when the log comes to you. I could get used to it. I just need to work out how I can get this service for T4. 5 or T5 caches

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 goingplaces2

After a few finds to keep my tally ticking over. Was hoping I could make at least 2 finds with enough time to get to an event. In the end, I made the event, albeit a little late - but not as late as some.
And then I got a bonus cache!
HUZZAH!
